Words Can Make Or Break You

Words can make or break you, your career, as we have seen with Paula Deen.

Paula Deen mentioned words that offended many people. She apologized. I'm sure, on any given day, she wished those words never escaped through her lips.

Still, she can't take the words back. People have been hurt, offended, by Deen's remarks. The reason or time the words were used makes no direction.

When a perspn's actions offend, those actions has to be addressed.

It goes back to what a person does, good or bad, comes back.

Deen and her sons explained how she in't a racist.

However, the words she used was racist. Why use those words if her feelings/thinking were different.

People tend to use comfortable words out of habit. Sometimes, a word is spoken that you're use to hearing/saying or grew up with.

Still, no one can or should offend because it's their way of doing, living.

I can't say it enough: Think before speaking.

Legitimate Rape

Have a question? Agree, disagree, with me? Leave me your opinion. Legitimate rape rarely ends in the victims' pregnancy, but Missouri Republican Rep. Todd Akin apologized. Akin has two daughters. He didn't have them or any female in mind when his lips formed the above words. This is a clear example of one must think before speaking. Akin's words have upset many people, include members of the Republican party. Some want Akin gone. Still, Akin isn't the first or last person to make an error. He's human. As with all errors, there's a cost. Akin has no intentions of stepping down according to news accounts. The lesson for us all: Think before speaking.
