Disappearing Act

One of the statements that stuck out to me was when Mr. Gurian stated that the young men he had worked with in prison “had been raised by females that did not promote education and found relevance in the schools they had attended”. I agree with that statement because in your family or whoever is not giving you the push to finish school, or further your education then it could get hard to get motivated to do so. Sometimes people need the extra push and support to achieve goals but if the people surrounding you have not even done so themselves, then who is really there to support and push you to do finish school and further your education. Mr. Gurian also stated that” young men who do not finish high school or go to college will be more likely to father children outside of wedlock, and more likely not to pay child support”. Sadly it’s a lot of these kinds of fathers in these times of days fathering children out of wedlock. I have seen and heard of these kind of fathers having children and not playing their role as a father and not paying child support which means that they probably fall under the statement “young men who don’t finish high school or go to college will be more likely to be unemployed, which he will be more likely to engage in violence against women and more likely in crime. I also think that girls are ahead because it’s a new world compared to back then. A lot of things are way different, there is new distraction and people that guys look up to that are millionaires and successful that did not graduate high school or go to college.They think that they can take that same road.  Some guys who grow up in a single family home don’t have their dads, so who are they to look up to. A male figure is not in the home to guide them.

Gay marriage.

 I think whether the Supreme Court is for or against gay marriage it’s not going to matter. If they are against it then okay, before or after getting married gays are still going to be together, they are still going to live together. Who really cares if same sex wants to get married, I know that it’s an issue everywhere, mainly because of beliefs but is same sex marriage affecting you in any way? Just because it’s against your beliefs does not mean that it is the same for the next person. Saying that they can’t marry does not stop anything. I think that they should be able to marry, I mean it’s just a piece of paper that is making things “official” why not be for it?. In some states it would technically fall under common law marriage, though it’s the same sex. I could see why people could be against it because some do not view it as your average family, but your not the person in the relationship, so its should not matter, this is NEW time, not back in the day.

freedom of speech but not really -Charlie Hebdo

Three gun men came into a French magazine office and killed twelve people including two officers, all over a caricature of Prophet Muhammad. I think the publishers should have thought twice about publishing it especially since they had already came into the office before with a fire bomb. Yes, its freedom of speech but do you really want to lose your life over "freedom of speech", especially when the group of people have already clearly showed you that they are not scared to take your life. I don’t think that it is right that people have to watch what they say because other people cannot handle someone freely speaking their mind, especially when they do not like what the other person is saying, the gunmen took it to the extreme, but in some countries they do not and cannot handle such things as freedom of speech. So they handle things in this kind of horrible way. I guess in this case "if you don't have anything nice to say don't say it at all" .

Right to die

I'm with and against the laws to end your own life if your terminally ill with lethal medication prescribed by a doctor.Because like most people would think "when god decides when its your time to go, then its your time to go".. But i think if you are in a certain situation were you are terminally ill and there is nothing that can be done, you should have a right and be able to end your own life if you are positive about your choice. I think that 29 year old Brittany Maynard made her decision to go with the law of taking her own life legally, because i feel she is looking at her situation as she accepts what is going on with her and why wait around for her last time here " why not go ahead and get it over with". I can see why some people would cause an up roar because people look at is as its not up to you to take your own life and decide when its your time to go, its up to god to determine when its time for you to go. she, her parents, and husband were okay with her decision and she left this earth surrounded by people who loved her and that's what she wanted.So who can say that it is wrong when she made a final decision to end her own life when its legal in the stat of Oregon.

Parking spot.

I feel about the killing of the three students from Chapel Hill that it was a hate crime. It makes you wonder if it was really over a parking spot. I don’t think anyone is going to kill someone well three people, execution style for an ongoing dispute over a parking spot. BUT I could definitely be wrong with the kind of world we live in today. What I don’t understand about the guy that killed the people is that he says it was not a hate crime, but yet the father of the young women that were killed said that Craig hicks has threatened them before in the past with his gun visibly showing in his belt and it made them feel uncomfortable. There is nothing else to discuss about this case but to think it was a hate crime. Would you really want to go away to prison, for probably the rest of your life over killing people over parking? Killing someone period over something so stupid that could have been handled differently....and it really makes you wonder because the guy that was killed posted a tweet on his twitter stating “it’s so freaking sad to hear people saying we should ‘kill Jews’ or ‘kill Palestinian’ ”” and then all of a sudden Craig hicks kills them over a parking spot. I don’t believe Craig hicks one bit and believe that this was a hate crime.

Ferguson

 I think that the people in Ferguson took advantage of what was going on. What happened in Ferguson had to do with a black man getting shot by an officer. How is looting, and causing fires going to solve anything that happened?  i feel that the looting was wrong in so many ways especially it being in the community that they are from. Why would u loot from the community where u stay? Doesn't make sense to do that, not saying that they should have done it in another community, I feel like the looting was wrong all together and shouldn't have been done.

Domestic Violence

Domestic Violence

I think the NFL should treat domestic violence like any other case. I think that they should investigate the case properly before making a sudden decision on things, simply because I'm sure there are some cases where people are out to get NFL players , and being a NFL player is how most support their families and no one wants to be without a job. I also think the NFL should stay out of peoples personal business, like the ray rice situation. If his wife is not making a big deal about what happened, then why should every one else? even though it is exactly what is looks like, DOMESTIC VIOLENCE  if she continues to stay with him after what happened then why is everyone in their business, I've never been in any type of domestic violence situation so i would say I wouldn't put up with it and just leave, but I'm assuming in most cases some might not be that strong to do so?. But I do think the NFL should investigate these cases real carefully.
