Kids Are Soldiers?

Some places in the world there are things called Child Soldiers. If you were thinking little children being real soldiers you were correct. This situation is happening in a lot of places, most places are in Africa. People have been kidnapping little children and making them into little soldiers. Their objective is to kill other child soldiers that impersonate on their territory. They also have to kill any other children that does not seem to respect what they do.
I think this needs to stop. First of all why are people in Africa worrying about stupid things like these when people all around them are dying from starvation and not being supplied with the food they need to survive. I also think the other countries that are included in this need to stop and try to help out one another. What do they fight for you probably ask. These people fight for nothing except respect this is what they do to earn respect well i think this is a waste of time and they need to find something better to do with their life. I think that the people that are kidnapping the children need to be treated the same way because they would not like it if someone took their child to do some dumb stuff like this 

Facebook Is Using Me?

  This article was written by a woman telling us that the information that we put out on the internet (even if its private) will still be available for other people to see. This article was also saying that people can use the things you do or put online can be used against you in future interviews for jobs or any other thing that you need that includes job info.
  I think this article could of saved my life because now I am cautious of what i put online. I dont really think that they would use what I put on the internet right now because I am really considered a child but in the future if any other social websites come out that seem to interest me i would always remember not to put anything that can be used against me. A good example of what not to do is what my friend did. On Twitter the other he said "Yo just smoked some good weed on Friday." NOW if he wanted a job (because he is 20 years old) the interviewer could look up some stuff about him see what he wrote and decline him because they might not want someone who does drugs in there buisness because it can probably hurt their career in the future as well as my friend. In the article the woman said that there should be a law stating that this should be illegal. I think that this law should be made because they should not be able to enter someones personal things or view what they put online. I can see if you follow someone on Twitter or become friends on Facebook but if you do not do the following then you should not know what we do. A good word for what these people are doing is called Human- Trafficking.

I'm A Criminal

   This article was about a woman named Michelle writing about people being criminals. She basically was saying we are not different from any of those criminals the only thing is they were caught and we were not.
   Every one is a criminal in some type of way, according to Michelle, some people speed, steal, smoke, drive while intoxicated, and drink. The only people that probably went over the limit with what they did were the only people to get caught by police or other people.
   I did some things before that weren't right, that could've caused me to get in some serious trouble if the cops caught me. I remember when i was 9 years old i stole some bubble gum from Walmart and when i got in the car i remembered i had it in my pocket. I got scared when I heard the cops coming towards me me but they were going to get someone else. I was so happy when i realized  they were going for someone else but i was still scared.
   I remember last summer i got drunk from a drink called the grenade. It was a mixture of sweet milk, rum, and plain alcohol. Mind you i was only 14 years old and I am not supposed to be drinking until the age of 21. I did a lot of wild things that day, I was known to be the wild boy like Steve-O.

Photoshopped

   I do not think that people being photoshopped is a bad idea because if someone does not want a pimple or blemish showing up in a photo they should be able to remove it. It is not like they are making you seem like you aren't who you ar and they are using your body to be someone else. It is as simple as 123.
  People that want to be photoshopped obviously do it or want it for a reason. I don't think that people should be discriminated  for wanting to do something with their own body, if you did not know its a persons choice to do what they want to do with their body.

iPad

This article about the iPad factory in China is very interesting in many ways. I think the article deserves a ten out of ten because it tells everything in a very exciting way. This article was about a factory located in China that blew up causing many injuries and four deaths. Ever since after the explosion safety warnings has became a very serious thing. It has become so serious to factory owners that people are even being hurt because of it. Some people complain about it all the time but the only a change could be made is if someone sees what is going on and tries to stop all of it by happening. For instance the Nike factory in Philllipenes was shut down and relocated because of so much things happening in their factory because of the machines and excessive pain. People stood up for many hours causing their feet to swell very large. It has ben told that some people have even passed out on the job because of working for sixteen hours non stop.
   I hope someone reads this article and says it is time for a change because of the things that are being done to these hard workers. In the article they were talking about the amount of money a worker is paid. I really think this should be change. Someone working for so many hours and only getting and low hourly wave such as ten cents! This really is going to far now people like this need to be honored and payed at least 17 dollars an hour. People have to realize without these people who are working their butts off in these factories there wouldn't be any iPod, iPad, iPhone, I think there wouldnt even be any predictions to come up with these things that is why we have to show these people a little bit more respect and to do that first they have to respect one another.
