Damn Interesting!
I was on a website called www.damninteresting.com and there was an article about a guy teaching another guy how to fly a jet on a rainy day and when they were high up in the air they heard the thunder but it happened to seem louder than usual and when they turned around to see if everything was OK they seen that their glider was missing. The thunder hit the back of the jet and took the back of the jets glider off. When they realized what had happened they started to panic but they never left the plane so they stayed in there and panicked. Fortunately they survived the crash landing and the thunder hitting the plane and they made it home safely but I think in order to avoid more life threatning situations like these and making people scared, when the weather is rainy and there are tornado watches, thunderstorms, hail, etc. they should just cancel or delay one of these events until another time, no one wants to lose their life to something like this exspecially when your thousands of feet up in the air. I take a plane to Barbados every summer and when Philadelphia is having rainy weather flights get delayed or canceled. Before i read this article when things like this happened i thought it was the worst because i just wanted to go to Barbados but now that i read this article i believe that the delays and canceling of flights are 100% necessary! I am no one would want to come across as something as scary as this so my word to the people out there that have no type of fear for this is BE CAUTIOUS!!! PLEASE!!!!!

This I beileve
I read an article today and the name of it is "Getting Angry Can Be A Good Thing" by Cecilia Munoz. This article was about a lady who was around in the world war II and one of her friends said if the USA had to fight her kind of people (Hispanic). When she heard that she was very angry and that convinced her to join immigration. So after experiencing all of this she said that it encouraged her to be something very good and now she could help people from falling into problems that the japenese people had fallen into when the USA was fighting them. If you ever wondered why the Japanese people were put into these camps is because USA thought some Japanese people will be spying on them and they wanted to be safe. I think that this article is true and getting angry could be a good thing because it could help motivate you. For instance if you had got an F on your report card and you were angry about it you would be determined to get a better grade, so when you get mad it can be more than trying to get revenge or fighting someone. When people here angry they think of attitude and they think of some type of way for someone to try and get revenge on something or someone but in this case getting angry was the right thing to do... Another example is say if one morning you went in your moms room and you asked her for a dollar and her reply to you was "do you think i am rich maybe you need to get your lazy behind up and go get a job". You can get angry and be motivated to goi get some type of job so when she sees you come home and have money in your pocket she would know that you actually did something and you never know she mightt ask you for some money to help pay the bills :P

Brodcasting Whitnesss?
I read an article today and the title of it was called "Brodcasting Whiteness". From the title of this article i could already tell that there were going to include something about being racist in there. The article basically was talking about how TV shows nowadays do not include enough races in there such as Hispanic, Black, Chinese, Asian, people. When you really think about it there is not enough race in TV shows. The excuse for this is that producers put the races that other people wan to see thats why there is more white people than other races on Tv. I think this is not a good excuse and something needs to be done about it. They also said that people would not find the most shows interested if not enough people were not in the shows. TV series like Law and Order: Specials Victims Unit has former rappr like Ice-T and a lot of people seem to enjoy this show. I think if this was to be brought over on the news or something this article would get a lot of negative reviews because things like this shouldnt be happening. I think this is encouraging racism and something should be done about it.. If i were a producer i wouldnt look for specific races i would look for talent, what people are good at doing, isnt this what the hollywood thing is all about.. ?

Gun Fashion
Something very interesting was brought up in class and the topic was gun fashion. When my journalism teacher was asked what gun fashion is he explained to us that it was a new clothes line that includes hiding spots for guns. My personal opinion to the person in charge of this buisness, has problems and serious problems too! Why would you want to make clothes that hide your guns when a lot of people nowadays are being murdered with these weapons? Why would you want to make something like this when people are trying to lessen the amount of gun use in the world? I think this clothes line should be shut down immediatley or whenever a murderer murders someone and he is wearing these clothes the company should be sued a good large amount of money since they are encouraging this bad behavior, because this is all it is! I dont think that this new type of fashion should be allowed, as a matter a fact this shouldnt even be called fashion the title of this should be "A Way to Hide From the Cops"...... Hopefully this buisness is shot down immediatley and no one is hurt. I think that the president should step in and do something about this and the boss, producer, or founder of this buisness should do time in jail because this is illegal and a crime to me.....
