The Writer's Corner

Article: "Miss Holocaust Survivor"  I am not Jewish and from what I saw of old World War II clips and history shows, I feel for the people and their plights. I donate money to help Israel in times when I should not, but seriously people, I think that this is just going to cut it too close. Sure, the idea that a contest to see how far someone who survived is just plain stupid. These women went through hell, their stories touched millions. It should just speak that they should have themselves recorded on a video, so when we lose them, they're truly not forgotten to time. I honestly think after reading this article that the contest was in poor tastes, that even though some people thought it was suiting, I evidently did not. I'm not in Israel, so I wouldn't know a lot of what is going on in their politics. All I know is that sometimes it takes a little to know more about anything. One thing to be said though, that it was not based on looks, but based on the wo...

Read this: Best Buy Employee Wrongly Outed Denver Man After reading this, I was upset because you can't trust anyone with your phone these days. People will read your posts and it isn't funny anymore. Considering that the poor guy in the article is now having to undo what this person who was fired thankfully did. If I had to repair my phone, I would ask the person to please not take a look at my contacts or my online things, it isn't funny to have someone play with something that sensitive. In my opinion, Best Buy did fire the person, but they should hold the guy legally liable and also apologize to the poor man who had this happen. They did and they made sure people should be more aware of their ethics. I would never do this at my store, in fact I would just not even look, I would test the online thing on just googling or searching for a said NFL or something along that lines, it is safer to just do a random websearch to test the phone's online capability after r...

Here is the link: to Pay Off Loans, Grads Put off Marriage, Children If you read this and believe you are in the hole when you go to college. Well....nearly all American teens are facing this. I'm facing it, I'm putting off marriage, which will not help my situation, and my fiance is pissed off that I would delay something. I'm 31, and sadly, we're going to have to face the facts, nearly all Americans are in debt one way or another, and its up to us to fix our problems. Many Americans are now going through a low income and little to no credit and such. Are you scared of college yet? IF you're not, go for it, be prepared, have a back up plan if things don't work out. College is important and people are going to be great! So don't be scared of what your future is, have kids!

Forced Censorship

After watching news reports, watching and reading blogs seeing the whole of what is going on. Is Anonymous bad or product of an ever changing world? I would say they are the product of what we we are becoming. The fact that we stand in the face of bills and idiotic ideas of older people who are not our voice anymore. Do we dare say anything to a government that doesn't listen? Are we to march to the beat of the MPAA or some other corporate group that says what is and what isn't copyrighted? I'm kind of surprised to say this, but the reason I am writing now is that I'm writing for the sake as a writer. This blog isn't copyrighted, these are my thoughts and my own problems with the US in general. Why is it that the artists suffer, the writer's suffer, why? Why should we take it upon ourselves to wait until another group like Anonymous has to basically shake it at us. I'm saying it now, we have the rights to actually yell at our government. What happens when we...

Article: The Campaign Against Racially insensitive Costumes I do agree with the campaign simply because some of the costumes are just offensive, but what I don't get is why cosplayers will have to suffer. Amount of the costumes that some of the cosplay groups I have known have attempted to say that we are culturally insensitive. Geisha and Samurai costumes have been around for years, some people like the elegence of the costumes, while some people are starting to take it a little far. I'm against one thing, Muslims costumes, I'm sorry, but having several Muslims as friends, they don't deserve to be called terrorists or anything of the sort. There are thousands of kids out there that take that kind of problems. Costumes and such are part of having fun, not part of bullying. I'm against this kind of bullying and I think though that cosplayers shouldn't be in the middle of this. So if people are going to go around saying that we are living a stereotype, I'm goi...

Article: Traffic Light camera scam steals your Identity So another scam artist in town, and not even your traffic lights are safe? Geez....these people are getting more annoying each day. I would have to say, there are many things that I would like to say on this level. People, if you get some call like that, please do yourself a favor, question the person doing the calling. Seriously, if they can't give you information, including the facts the cops will have your plates on file and SSN on file. Sorry, but this is just a bad thing altogether to have happen to you no matter what. Personally after having a scam artist like the one in Texas who I shall not name, believe me, my fiance and I are very careful on these matters. But again, scamming con goers at anime conventions, trying to pass off as friends and then turning around and trying to use ID for other reasons. In opinion to this, I would say, just use your best judgement, don't just let some scam artist pull the wool over y...
