draw the line buddy!

At least Carlos Mencia wasn't making fun of truly diagnosed retarded individuals right? Not once in this whole video did i laugh. I didn't find anythign he said amusing. Besides the fact that he was speaking like every young kid speaks like a retard, all of his jokes we just ignorant.
Carlos Mencia basically stated that hispanics have the best way of teaching. We made it seem like in the latin countries the educatiion standards are high. There are no A minuses OR B pluses. If the teacher had any problems with a kid he'd call them stupid. Well i'm sorry, but there is respect in America.
Menica continued to state that stdents find any excuses to to not work in school or a reson to work less. Such as a.d.d or a.d.h.d. Although some kids do take their "sickness" to an extremety, some small students do really have a learning disability. And by the way its against the law to hit kids.
Mencia kept saying that if the people in the audience weren't laughing it was because we didn't have kids. I don't have kids and i wasn't laughing. His audience was parents and i'm guessing non hispanic individuals. But niether of them were probably impacted by his show. It was ignorant and ...

Shocking

When you come to think about, i guess you can say we are the "idiot nation," or at least the majority of us. Seems to be that everyday more and more teenagers and uneducated adults fall into the category of caring more about superstars than issues around the world that affect us. Most teenage kids are into the music videos and concerned with "what's in" rather than what matters. The media does influence kids to dance, dress, and even act a certain way. At times, they idolize stars like Paris Hilton which is not a very good example for girls around the U.S. Adults on the other hand might be influenced to spend their money on things that a luxuries instead of investing in something that's beneficial for them or their families. They might be lured into buying the most biggest and newest hummer out there, just because its new. This goes for basically anything. There's phones, computers, i-pods, clothing, etc.

I'm not very in touch with the celebrity gossip because i don't care much about it. I'm sure i do get influenced by the media. Sometimes i follow what they want me to buy and even at times i pay attention to what they say about being safe, etc. As far as politics and the video that restated the word "shocking" a million times, I'd fall into the group that isn't very politically smart. I don't know much about the whole campaign for one thing and the voting period is almost around the corner. As much as i want to learn and i tell myself everyday, i continue to set it aside and do other things like homework or spend time with family and friends.

The video does make a valid point, the youth and some adults know very little about politics and the media in its entirety.

Miss South Carolina

Whoa!!! Well i honestly feel bad for South Carolina. I'm sure she was nervous at the time the question was asked. Maybe miss South Carolina is a joke and did this pageant for beauty purposes only. Either way, she did defend her crazy, incomprehensible answer. She came back and wasn't a sore loser about the whole situation. She even went back and re-answered the question on NBC's Today. This time she actually had a good enough answer. Anyway, I guess this mess up wasn't a real big deal, she did win 4th overall.

So do you think your a writer?

I usually write a lot when the school term is in session. Either it being school work, e-mails, birthday cards, or just regular notes. Most of the time, my writing is informal and I might use a bit a of slang, but most of the time I like to write professionally because I think if I always write in slang I'll end up forgetting the real words.

I love to write whats on my mind, even if it doesn't make complete sense. I discuss topics about life or books with friends and family.

I recently renewed my MySpace account, so I have commented on some of my friends page. It is very sloppy and at times doesn't even have punctuation marks. My friends and i crack jokes on each others pages and comment on random things.

I also keep tabs with my AP English teacher from high school. We usually talk philosophical and make fun of certain things we've experienced in class. I wrote to him about a couple of short stories I read and told him how much I've enjoyed them. His e-mail was written in a formal way because if not I think he'd kill me.

How faithful are you?

Believing in something like God is truly a beautiful thing. Peace, harmony, and worship are a part of "the package." Lets say you speak about the way you believe things are to someone and you end up changing their way of thinking. They actually give what you say a try when you thought they would never consider your belief.

They pray, and attempt in establishing a relationship with the almighty being.

The next day, they hear terrible news that someone they love is hurt. "What a sign."

Then what? What do you think?
