The time has come to raise the veil from over our youths eyes, and look sex right in the face. No matter how many of the married couples, over weight men, and nuns try to forget it, sex still exists. And teenagers know it. Abstinence only education is the broken Butterfinger on the politcal shelf that Bush had been trying to sell. The thought that they would outright make a law to keep information from the youth, the future of America, is simply preposterous. Imagine an abstinence-only America. The school children sitting in their hard plastic chairs, learning that they should not rely on contraception, and should simply avoid sex at all costs. Sex = fraternizing with the devil. Or, imagine an America without any sex education! The children could go home and have their parents sit them down and give them the birds and the bees talk. The awkward pauses, explanations, the realizations of how their brothers and sisters were created, all lead to a very educational experience. To the faces of the school teachers and the ever hopeful parents, these children seem enlightenened to never have sex. Yet as soon as the teachers leave the classroom the discussion continues of how Betty and Tom hooked up last night. And now, the children have been taught that contraception won't work, so why even bother with it? STD's are spread, casual sex is taken up, and Betty is pregnant with a baby boy. With abstinence only education large numbers of ninth and tenth graders are still getting pregnant, and contracting STD's. No decrease in sexual activity was noticed, and the virginity pledge rendered useless, merely influencing the teenagers to have less sexual partners. And surprisingly enough, I fail to see any father look their 15 year old daughter in the eye, and explain to her the results of ghonnorea, what ejaculation is, and how she can receive STD's. These conspiracies against the school teaching the wrong moral values seem oddly equivalent to those of the alien race; they have some nice background information, but have yet to actually prove themselves. With sex education in school, students will then hear the blood and guts (or oozing and pus) about all the results of sex. With a full understanding, and a few nasty pictures the students see the ugly truth, and then can make an educated decision on whether or not they would like to partake in such activities. Once a student sees herpes, and hears the horror stories they will actually consider abstinence, unless of course their parents already told them and they are very obedient. If the parents are still worried about their child's understanding of sex, they can then place themselves infront of their child and look them in the eye and say, “lets talk about sex.” The dangers of teenagers running around misinformed about sex leaves too great of a risk for schools to allow. (Babies in the classroom, Herpicin L passed around the locker room...) Atleast with sex education the teenagers can't say we didn't warn them, and anyway, is a Pentagon Papers repeat really necessary? They are becoming adults and can understand, and have the right to know what sex really is. No longer robbing the children of their education, the schools can then return to their sex education agendas.
What happened just a few weeks ago was not an accident. I feel it was an act of terror on our country. What I am talking about is the Fort Hood shooting, where Major Nidal Malik Hasan killed 13 and shot 30. Does this seem like an accident? Is this just a tragedy? Some sources say it is a tragedy, for example alternet.com and smirkingchimp.com. However some also say it was a terror attack and these sources would be Accuracy in Media and humanevents.com. Both say it was preventable; however the reasoning is very different. Accuracy in Media stated that, “Federal law enforcement officials now say Hasan came to their attention six months ago- about the time he was being transferred to Fort Hood- after allegedly posting blogs with violent threats and praise for suicide bombers.” Also “Neighbors say he had been selling all of his furniture, handing out copies of the Koran and had painted the name Allah on his door”. What is the problem here? How many red flags does our government need? Our government has a weird feeling about an individual, but they just let it go? Now look 13 dead, were lucky it wasn’t more. According to humanevents.com, 60% of Americans want the Fort Hood massacre investigated as a terrorist act. Why not? When someone is murdered or killed there is an investigation that takes place. So when more than half our country wants something to be done, don’t you think it should be? So by “Calling the obvious act of terrorism at Fort Hood a tragic crime is naive at best.” Looking at the liberal side they are saying that they are just casualties and they now just need to be honored. Alternet.org says, “ The government’s refusal to accurately count their sacrifice of these young men and women dishonors not only these soldiers memories, but also obscures the public’s understanding of the amount of sacrifice required to continue wars in two countries, simultaneously, overseas.” Also is stated, “how can we even begin to honor their memories, if we don’t even track their sacrifice?” But when these soldiers signed up for the military they were thinking of going overseas and fighting for our country. They were not thinking about getting killed by a major in their own base! Some didn’t even get to fight for our country. Smirkingchimp.com stated that, “the timing of his shooting, the day before he was sent off, shows his desperation had reached the limit.” Desperation…Desperation for what? To be a coward, not wanting to fight for where you live? It is one thing to take your own life, but to take innocent others is ridiculous! As you may now know, I am favoring the fact that this was an act of terrorism on our country! But a very important idea is coming from all of this. That idea is that we as the government and military need to do more screening on everyone that join the military. Because they are all going to have guns! It is not just the Muslims we need to worry about! It is everyone from anywhere. We need to now do more protection for our troops and these types of incidents should not occur! So why should we leave the family’s of the dead hanging without answers?
This editorial is about a 22 year old German Tennis Player caught in a gender scandal that could ruin her tennis career because the sport can’t decide if she is a man or a woman. Sara Gronet was born with both male and female genitalia. She later had surgery to remove the male organs and is now legally certified as women. Even though she is certified as a woman there is a debate on whether she should be playing in the women’s tennis circuit. A coach of a player that was beaten by Sara Gronet says, “This is no girl that can hit serves like that, not even Venus Williams.” said Schlomo Tzoref. Schlomo believes that she doesn’t belong in the Women’s circuit because she can hit harder or run a little faster than what most girls are able to do. The WTA has decided that Sara is allowed to play in the Women’s circuit because she is certified as an actual woman. A quote said by Glushko who recently lost to her in a tournament and said, “When I heard this story I was in shock. I don’t know if it’s fair if she can compete or not. She does have an advantage, but if this is what the WTA has decided, they probably know best. If she begins to play continuously, within six months she will be in the top 50.” Sara Gronet wanted to quit at age 19 because she was being ridiculed about her gender. She is ranked number 619. 9 in the world and has played in 9 tournaments. In the last 3 years she has won 2 tournaments. This is a controversy over whether Sara should play in the women’s circuit, men’s circuit or not even be allowed to play at all. I believe that Sara should be allowed to play in the Women’s circuit because legally she is considered a woman and should not be denied her rights to play tennis because she was born with both male and female genitalia. She had surgery to remove the male organs and is legally a woman so therefore she should be able to play against the women. Tzoref said “This is not a women it is a man she does not have the techniques of a women.” Tzoref. It wasn’t Sara’s fault that she was born with both male and female organs however she decided to have surgery and fully become a legal women and therefore not matter what technique she has should still be allowed to play in the Women’s circuit.
I’d hate to spit a corrupt horse in the face, well, okay, that’s a lie, I’d actually love to so here it goes: the President of Afghanistan, Hamid Karzai, deserves nothing more than to be peeled, salted, and driven through the streets by mental patients with spiked planks. Well, he probably deserves a lot more than but I fear anything else would be too “descriptive.” The point is, he’s a fraud that placed the country in the hands of drug lords and stolen another election, all while waving the white flag of peace. And worse of all, it looks like even our own leaders are falling for it. While the far right conservatives at Fox News seem to be passively give their support for Karzai. Passing off his government as “known for corruption” and the first election that took place in 2009 being a “possible rigging.” Which I guess, they’re both right. People while the Afghanistan government has been known for corruption, it still is very well known for corrupt. Just as Karzai is known for corrupt. And it certainly is a “possible rigging.” Where the right really puts him up on a pedestal however is when it comes to his promises to fight corruption. Karzai also threw in some comments about how he wants the Afghan soldiers to take control of the battle with the Taliban, mostly I assume, to get America out of its hair. How true a corrupt official will stay to his promises of fighting corruption is unknown but on the positive side, Hillary Clinton has recently met with Karzai, and fully supports his plan to fight corruption. Wait. Did a conservative news source claim Hillary Clinton working with the Afghanistan government is a good thing? Color me confused. You can also color me red. The fact that Karzai has absolutely no right to be anywhere near a source of power (except maybe an electrical outlet for him to stab a fork into) after making clear that his idea of a perfect country is one with backhand deals and corruption in every seat of the government, might have set it off that his second run might not be the cleanest of fights. Sure, Karzai had the majority of the votes, but no one ignored the surprisingly low voter turn out. Along with a widespread of reports of people showing up to the voting booths finding nothing but a box overflowing with Pro-Karzai votes. And lets not forget the voting areas swarmed with the gnats of the Taliban, making sure to strip any sort of fairness of the event. But, that’s all okay. We all knew it was a fraud. We all openly said it was a fraud. And the World’s voices obviously meant enough to cause Afghanistan to try it again. Yet when his opponent backed out of the second election, it gave Karzai a free pass to total control. And the World stood by and did nothing. I guess at least this way his bastardly acts got Karzai his position of power fair and square. The bottom line is that we can’t just sit back and let Karzai back into power. We’re just repeating a vicious cycle of corruption and deceit. Yet what other options do we have now? The United States certainly can’t just remove him from power and replace him with someone they think better suited, that’d be so overstepping our boundaries even considering the U.S.’s past discretions when it came to foreign policy. We now find ourselves in a Catch-22 the World’s stuck with for another 5 years. Better luck next time.
Gender, ethnic background, race. These are among many of the things listed on job applications, with the line “(name of company) is an equal opportunity employer”, but how is this legal? How can something like that be part of whether or not someone gets a job? Good for cooperate America, it is against the law to either fire or refuse a person a job due to their gender, ethnic background or race. This is known as affirmative action which by definition says,” affirmative action refers to policies that take race, ethnicity, or sex into consideration in an attempt to promote equal opportunity or increase ethnic or other forms of diversity.” While a lot of people have mixed emotions about this, it’s the politics behind it that can either make or break the whole point of affirmative action. So I was not surprised when I read an article from www.newdemocracyworld.org about the conservative point of view for affirmative action. “Conservatives oppose affirmative action, saying that, by favoring one group over another, affirmative action unfairly affects competition between individuals.” While I feel as if affirmative action is not favoring one group over another, not supporting it is favoring one group over another. “Liberals support affirmative action, saying that it is important to make competition between the races and genders fair; by favoring one group over another now, liberals say, affirmative action makes up for past discrimination.” According to the same website. Now, I am not saying that all conservatives are against this and all liberals are for affirmative action. According to www.newyorktimes.com, “When you’re talking about public schools, everybody’s got to go somewhere, and it’s not as if some schools are necessarily better than others, “said Charles Fried, a conservative law professor at Harvard. “At some point, the government has to have some basis for breaking the law.” I feel that by making affirmative action a “law” it’s going to avoid a lot of potentially damaging instances. I think that everyone deserves the same opportunity as everyone else. Why should one group get all the benefits while everyone else suffers? That’s not very American.
In many countries in this world if you are to speak badly or disagree with the leader you would be subject to imprisonment, torture or in some cases death. Not here in America though, here we can vote and choose our own leader, then disagree with every decision he makes and talk about how unfit he is to lead. What is wrong with this? What has happened in between the time Obama was voted in as president to now that makes everyone be so critical of his every move. It’s not like being president is an easy job, can’t we give he poor guy a break? I can not even type Obama with out spell check trying to make me change it to Osama. If you are to get on the wonderful world wide web and search Obama’s rural agenda you will most certainly find hundreds of lunatics freaking out about the fact that Obama’s is spending more time worrying the war in Iraq and not worrying about the poor animals on meat production farms that do not get their chins scratched every day. The treatment of the animals that are in turn going to be butchered and become food is much more important then fellow Americans that are losing their lives fighting for our country, obviously. It does not stop there though, not only is it the treatment of the animals that people like David Kirby are worried about it’s the pollution that comes from the large animal production farms. The pollution from vehicles isn’t an issue, so why has Obama set up tax credits and other stimulus for people buying fuel-efficient vehicles. Instead he should set up a system in which rewards people for have a small amount of animals, because that makes much more sense. General Stanley McChrystal asked President Obama for 45,000 more troops to be deployed to Afghanistan. Obama did not send the amount asked for instead he compromised and sent 17,000 additional troops. The public becoming in an uproar over more troops headed to Afghanistan but, they would have been even more upset if all 45,000 where sent. It’s called a compromise for a reason. What would have happened if Obama did not sent any additional troops? Some one different would have been mad about that. Obama make a very thought out level headed decision to try to make everyone happy yet everyone still seems to be able to find a reason to get mad. People just seem to need to have a reason to hate Obama, regardless of the decision he makes. Then comes the stimulus, while our economy is in shambles, do we really need to nit pick everything obama tries to do to fix the issues? If he did nothing how would people feel about that? Instead of waiting and seeing how his stimulus works out instead lets just decide from the get go its terrible and it’s just going to make everything worst. I bet people where skeptical of FDR’s new deal too but look how that worked out in the end. Times are different now and we need different ways to fix our issues, why don’t we just wait and see how Obama’s plans work out. No matter what, there is always going to be opposing views in the beginning but if it all works out in the end all that oppose will be quick to change their minds. Who you are and what your views are have very little to do with this issue. The problem is everyone’s negativity lets just wait and see how things work out before we start to critize. Being president is not an easy job, can’t we just give Obama a break once in a while. If everyone hated Obama that much he would not have been elected president.
