It's NOT Funny!

March 4, 2011

With the oil prices going up yet again, we are AGAIN dealing with people making fun of men who work in the oil industry, and how much money they are making....GET OVER IT PEOPLE!  The men who work in the oil industry pay just as much for gas and other products as you do....we don't bring home more money just because the oil price goes up....we don't want to hear about it from you, and it's not funny to hear you all laughing at men who go to work every day and work hard to support their families.  It's not our fault that people in other nations are being stupid, or that all the wonderful enviornmentalists won't let us drill the oil that is here in the USA.  SO STOP THE TEASING!  Why don't you all try to be a little supportive of those men who work hard to provide you with the comforts of life?  And maybe take a little time for some compassion for their families who spend many nights alone while those men are out of town working hard for the rest of you who just love to laugh at them...maybe instead of laughing, you could take the time to just say thanks, and that you appreciate the things their jobs provide for you.  After all, oil provides your transportation, and most of the things inside your oh, so comfortable home!  And maybe you should stop and consider how your laughing at those men affects their families....how the kids have to listen to people laughing at their father...how would you like for your dad to be the one being laughed about?  And how would you feel if the general public were teasing you and laughing at you just because one aspect of your profession was going up in price and you absolutely had no control over it?  Maybe it's time to stop and think before we all find entertainment at someone else's expense!  I hardly think that the Savior would be treating the men in the oil professions this way.

Some days I just can't handle the way people treat others.....
