Banning

Whats the point in banning movies, books, pictures, shows....anything?
If it was offensive to the public or may be offensive to some....DONT BUY IT!
The whole "kids are violent now because they watch violent programming and play violent games" thing is ridiculous. Who LETS them play these games and watch these shows? Parents are to blame, not the media. Granted some things could be left out of movies, but the reason they were put it in there was to be recieved by a mature audience who can not be influenced by bad behavior. If you or your kids can not watch something without being badly influenced or have the nerve to do it yourself, then dont watch it. You can protect yourself and your loved ones from the media you think is wrong. Dont ruin it for everyone else who can handle it.

Snow Days

Everyone loves snow days....when they first happen. Now everyone is complaining about the snow they just were enjoying a week ago! All i have heard about is people waiting for it to stop snowing, it needs to go away, we will be in school until July, its a big pain. This is the first time it has really snowed since last year. Come on. Enjoy it. Theres so much you can get done in a snow day! For example
1) Sleep in! like you can go anywhere anyway
2) Clean! you saw the dust piling up and its secretly bothering you...
3) Do Homework! yes i know, snow day=no school=no homework. but think about next week when that massive project is due. you wont have to worry about it
4) Eat! well not alot, but you have time to cook up something awesome...like brownies =)
5) Go Sledding! that's how snow days have been spent for years and years.
6) Mess around on the computer! the internet has infinite possibilities, just dont get a virus...
7) Play video games! if you're into that
8) Read! a book you actually want to read, its good for the soul
9) Clean again! not really the usual cleaning, but look through your closet and bookshelves. anything there you don't use/want and would like to donate?
10) Spend some time with you're family! they love you, spend some time with them. it could turn out to be fun =)

And the list goes on and on....

So dont complain about the weather, it isn't going to change anything. Just enjoy it!

Change

The country is equally divided in half when it comes to accepting and fearing change. Some people love change, maybe even crave it and want a different outcome. Instead of eating the same bowl of cereal every morning, why not have oatmeal or go out to breakfast? The outcomes may not always be what you wanted, but people like this are just generally happy that something is different.
Then there are the people who hate it, fear it, or are just content with the way things are. They want to follow the same routine day after day because it works and why change what is already perfect?
Either way, i dont understand why both usually become violent on a national level. Countries everywhere are upset that someone is trying to change them, or that their overthrow of government isnt working and no one will come help. For the presidential election, some wanted to stay in Iraq and have a generic old man with experience, while others wanted to try out some new ideas and completely change history with a black president.
Regardless of the changes made on a day-to-day basis, its ridiculous that people get so upset over beliefs and values of other people and make it hard to coexist.

Paparazzi

What exactly is the point of the paparazzi? They are rarely hired by anyone to take awkward pictures of celebrities in public places just trying to live their lives. They MAY have five pictures bought from magazines or newspapers for hours of work for only $50 a picture. Why?! What kid wakes up and says " I want to be a paparazzi!!" If you have a love of photography....be a photographer! If you love to write, write about something important or helpful to mankind! I think there should be no paparazzi. Just because so and so didnt hold their kids hand while crossing the street, doesnt mean im not going to see their latest movie or buy their newest CD. Everyone makes mistakes, the paparazzi just blow it up to extremes to make us hate the people we once looked up to. Why wont these people do something better with their lives?
