tragedy that wont fade away

thisisnot a free speech issue, but a moral issue. however since the photos were leaked illegally, then technically the photos should be contraband and therefore illegal. the family should win because of that. If this had been one of my family members, then i would probably be really upset. I suppose it would have to depend on the family member. For the most part though i would be very pissed off.
For particular situations such as this, the photos should be taken off of the internet and not allowed. It's morally disgusting and anybody that would even want to see something like that should be monitored for mental instabilities. It just not right.

Earth Day

I do believe that the writer is correct. i liked is analogy relating it to christans and easter: it's a good excuse to have a party, but the real decipleship last all year. I did not know that today was in fact earth day until a friend told me last period. I also highly doubt that anyone in my house even knows that it's earth day.
My family honestly doesn't do much to help protect the earth. We drive as little as possible, and thats usually for more selfish reasons than saving the earth. Most of the vegetable we get are organic, unless the other kind is cheaper...and it usually is.

Things not To Learn In school

I have learden a couple of these traits, but the biggest one that i've "learned" would be that "you only need to get a 70." Over the last few years i have been doing only "okay" in my classes, just getting a C in order to pass. All that i wanted was to make sure that i got all my credits so i would be able to graduate. That has been my biggest goal just so i would be able to get my own job and move out.
I also have been stuck with the "you only need to know what's on the test." I have almost never studied for a test, and whenever I do I only look at the material that will be on the test and afterwards not give any of that information a second thought. I know that's not the intention or purpose of a test, but that's all that it is to many kids. Which is probably because of the last thing that i wasn't supposed to learn in school.
"It's the teacher's job to teach you stuff" is probably the second biggest thing that i "learned." Like I mentioned earlier, I never study for tests, so i rely on the teacher to teach me the material.

Stop Me if you've heard this one

Today people are kind of slow to respond to the current economic problems. However now that they have realised that we really are having troubles, they are responding to it as wel as they can as quick as they can. However, that isn't quick enough, and alot of people are suffering because of it.
My family has had to sacrifice quite a few things, alot of them mine priviliges that most teenagers have. We have stopped going places so much, and i have been unable to get licenced because i cannot get a job to afford insurance and gas. I pretty much have to pay for any movies or social outings that i want to do.
