Ann, you are on wrong tracks about being saved - I'd say God rather has invested in you. Otherwise you wouldn't have talent in making parodies. Fives. And while I might disagree in certain issues with you (or Americans or whoever), I'd not like you to leave this site.

Oh, I just remember it is St. Anne (Dec 9) today. If you decide to leave this website, please do it just for this day - to brew the Christmas ale ;-)

Susanna- I chose to let God choose me. I do believe that God can choose not to have mercy on me. I respect anyone who respects me even if there are differences in opinions.

Susanna-I didn't see the St. Anne message before I submitted mine. So far I have one vote to stay and a smile to go with it.

I don't want you to leave the site. Don't let the opinions of a few morons get you down.

Do like I do, a sabbatical sometimes!
Do like I do, a sabbatical sometimes!
Do-wakka-do, I'm fanatical sometimes!
Word-rhyme-grins I'm forming!

Yoidy- thanks now that I think more about this the word I want is stereotype not politics Johnny- At first I didn't catch that you were writing me in parody thanks.

Please don't leave!!! Here have some lovely 555s!

someone could be tricking me but it looks like they want me to stay.

I'm not sure any more- If you are the same guy That told me your story and your story is true why don't you take of your mask?

An open invitation for my opinions, yay! First of all, no, I wouldn't like it if you left the site. While I'm not familiar with most of the OSs you chose to parody, this one included, I do know that you are well above the average newbie who submits here (most post a few parodies then disappear forever, and never comment on others' works). Keep writing, and you'll get better as time goes on.

Red Ant thank you for wanting me to stay.

Thanks again everyone and I will stay. I just wanted some honest opinions and some truth. I am of the Christian Fellowship and if there is anybody out there that hates my guts then they can knock themselves out.

Ann! Please don't leave! I haven't voted on many of your songs lately as I don't know the OS (same as this one), but I always read the ones where I do. You would be much missed.

You inspired me to write a mini-parody as my comment for your parody, Ann. Please don't leave. AmIRight needs good authors like you. Take a break when you feel like taking a break, but please don't write AmIRight off forever.

Ann, if you don't mind, as a long-timer (whoa, I just completed my 200th song!) I would like to give you some advice and encouragement:

1) You clearly show talent. Use it. You are no George Hamilinton IV. It is a good idea to read other people's songs and even sing them along. The old-timers who have written 100, 200 or 1,000 songs often have their unique style and techniques. If you don't already play some instrument, learn. I myself play bass and some guitar.

2) Learn to be witty, punny and sarcastic. It is better than ranting or preaching Nobody will hate your guts if you bring them out in an intellectual, funny and biting way.

3) Give credit when credit is due even when you disagree with the writer. One of my great inspirators is Royce Miller. While I disagree in many aspects with her and don't always buy her opinions on societal matters, she is one of the most skillful writers here.

4) Keep good taste. This is the hardest part. I have myself sometimes crossed the borderline of good taste, and regretted it afterwards.Remember, it is difficult to be funny on issues like being approached by someone of your own gender, domestic violence, capital punishment or other sinister issues without going bad taste.

5) In my dictionary, the opposite for "liberal" is "authoritarian" and that of "conservative" is "radical". It is perfectly possible to be simultaneously liberal (like I am in social matters) and conservative (like I am in societal matters). So don't get personal and do not attack anyone because of his or her personal viewpoints. Don't attack people, attack stupidity.

6) Likewise, respect other people's religion, even if you disagree. Outright stupidity and meanness, on the other hand, is free prey. I would draw the line between Pat Robertson (who has some sensible moments) and Fred Phelps (who is outright vile).

7) While most writers here are Americans, this is an international web site. This site provides an excellent opportunity to familiarize yourself with people all around the world. For example, I'm from Finland, and Peter Andersson (Know I can hear your dream) from Sweden.

Public figures are fair game. As far as I'm concerned, you can be a nasty as you want when going after one. But pure nastiness, as others have pointed out, can be tiresome. Nastiness cleverly crafted and presented, however... Ann, remember, this is parody site. Parodies have the potential to offend. Yours may touch on charged topics, but they're well written. Don't leave just because you might have pissed someone off.

Larry- Thanks

Meri- I am glad you don't vote on what you don't know. Susanna- I am so sorry I wasn't thinking International. I am still willing to accept you for who you are and what you believe. Your advice is great, you are a wise person.

Just because we might disagree on a few issues is no reason for either one of us to leave. You're not a talentless fascist blowhard like Ms. L.T., and you're not using religion as an excuse for bigotry like Mr. S.P. (who, at least, shows a glimmer of parody talent). While I don't think much of this particular parody, you should feel free to stay.

Michael- Thanks I am now moving on with my next parody.
