maybe it's because i grew up in a totally different enviroment, which is probably the case, or maybe it's because i try to have a christian attitude, but i know it doesnt always come off that way. i guess i'm a little more laid back and more of an easy going guy then other people are, and i want as many people to have an equal oppurtunity as possible, but why do others have to be so harsh and say that they cant have an equal chance to be apart of the group. just because we're having trouble supporting them doesnt mean we should "cut our losses".

and why do you have to be so harsh about things. be nicer about it. life isn't always a "dog eat dog world". we can be civil about things. i see it pop up in the rest of their daily lives as well. how their not willing to cooperate cause it's not the norm and they dont agree that it's worth wild. well, maybe if they were to give it a chance they would see that it is worth wild, and that it is to their benifit to do it, but you have to give it a chance.

or just because it's something is a little complicated and stressful your going to "cut your losses". well think about it this way man, your not the biggest guy, if you were in a litter of, lets say, lions, haha, the mother of the litter probably would of "cut her losses" and got rid of you. so think about it, would you want someone to say, "hey, i've gotta cut my losses and get rid of you" when your trying to get the same amount of enjoyment our of the same thing you are, cause thats what they are doing.

i guess i'm just used to growing up in an atmosphere where things weren't the same for everyone, but they made do. like in scouts, patrol group didnt have the same equipment because there were to many other scouts in the troop, but we made do. i mean, so what if we used to sleep 5 people in a 3 man tent for 2 weeks at a time. it was an adventure and i suppose i built a stronger character because of it.

well it's the same here, just cause we dont have the money or equipment for this one team, doenst mean that we should "cut our losses". we should try harder to make things better for them. and yes, they are somewhat of a nuesence, but that doesnt mean we should dispise them, work through it. adversity makes you stronger, and how you deal with it defines who you are. and if your just going to blow up in the end instead of batteling through it, well so be it, but dont put anyone down in the process.

i know i've been vague in this post, but i to get that off of my chest. i'm not the best arguer, i hate to arue actually. but i'm trying to defend a group of people on the rowing team, and i guess by writing i might be able to argue my point better, but it just helps to get that out there. know what i mean.

i hope everyone had a great day
