I read this, of all places, on a myspace page with the song "Where the fuck the weed at?" blaring, but it still seems right.
Heavenly Father, Help us remember that the jerk who cut us off in traffic
last night is a single mother who worked nine hours that day and is rushing
home to cook dinner, help with homework, do the laundry and spend a few
precious moments with her children.
Help us to remember that the pierced, tattooed, disinterested young man who
can't make change correctly is a worried 19-year-old college student,
balancing his apprehension over final exams with his fear of not getting
his student loans for next semester.
Remind us, Lord, that the scary looking bum, begging for money in the same
spot every day (who really ought to get a job!) is a slave to addictions
that we can only imagine in our worst nightmares
Help us to remember that the old couple walking annoyingly slow through the
store aisles and blocking our shopping progress are savoring this moment,
knowing that, based on the biopsy report she got back last week, this will
be the last year that they go shopping together .
Heavenly Father, remind us each day that, of all the gifts you give us, the
greatest gift is love. It is not enough to share that love with those we
hold dear. Open our hearts not to just those who are close to us, but to
all humanity. Let us be slow to judge and quick to forgive, show patience,
empathy and love.

i like this poem, very 'walk a day in someone elses shoes'. i always try to rationalize people's strange, rude or dysfunctional behavior this way, it tends to keep me much more optimistic.

Oh, and "worthless"? That's not a word for bleeding heart pussies to use!
********
Bleeding heart is your term for me because I told you that you are not qualified to judge the
fitness of others to exist. You are not fit to be used as toilet paper for the ass of
a retarded Yeti. Shove your macho mouth up your wimpy ass.

OH NOES! But everyone is equal! There is no better or lesser! All men are brothers! I love unicorns, rainbows and children dancing!

True, all men are brothers. You are not a man, nor even close to that great species...

GM, What the fuck are you babbling about? There's no penis in this post, so +2, goddamit.
I haven't had Jack Daniels in a while. It's pretty much the same as it ever was. Except I'm not in a fist-fight.
Hell...I can type, too. Thanks to Mum for that.

All you have to do on Christmas even is sit on a website and spitefully -2 other people's posts? You look like a real winner. See you later and have a merry christmas doing ... whatever you plan on doing.

Merry Christmas, Kaelic. Everyone knows the Crayon asshole is worthless.

Why do you think your opinion of the disposition of others carries any weight?
Why should you be allowed to judge others?
You shouldn't, and you have no intellectual base from which to speak.

Hell, here I sit on christmas day and read this.
Without the Lord and Heavenly Father parts it reminds me of the way I sometimes remind myself to take it down a nudge or two.
A holy post!
Mighty merry Xmas to all!
