School shootings

This is just a rant on a tangent of my previous post. Teachers,parents, and the police always worry about school shootings/violence yet they refuse to deal with the underlying issues of the fact that people are just not caring, or kind enough to each other anymore. Its only been in the recent years the the words roadrage and school shootings have entered our societies minds. They blame it on the parents and sure it probobly is partly the parents faults BUT! Its not entirely the parents fault, its also the people who commit this atrocities fault. I’m not writing to place blame so I’m going to leave that for now. I want to focus on what causes this to happen. Think about elementry school in the playground where the bully would come around and trip people. There is always the one kid who couldn’t really stand up for himself. Usually the poor kid never gets better at fighting for himself unless someone gets behind him(thats where bad parents come to blame). Now the kids is now almost an adult with a mind full of anger for the people that have abused him for the years. Anger that is not dealed with comes out in many ways, some people write, some do drugs/alcohol, and some just give up on life.Overall MOST people try to fit in somewhere now unfortunately when you have been a loser your whole life the “cool” and “popular” croud will not accept you(not that i’m saying they are even good people to be around anyway). These people end up finding people also like them who most people find less than appelaing for some reason. Nothing good ever happens when you have a mob of angry people. This is show with the trench coat mafia. I’m sure at one point most of those boys were smiley 5 years running around in thier backyards playing tag. What happened to them? The worlds evil, they were abuse and scarred to the point where they didnt know what to do anymore. Remember, I am not writing excuses for those who commit these crimes I am just giving my perspective on what made them do it.

I dislike bad teachers. I have this one teacher who teaches a class in Entreprenuership. Everyday he makes fun of this one kid who sits in the front of the class. He calls him names like “freak boy” and other stupid childish names. Also, he does not resist the urge to make cracks on the boy. In addition to this he makes the boy call him “Sir” which I find insane. Why should he respect him, the teacher has no respect for him, so justly the student should have none to return. I’m sure many people know who I am talking about and I invite you to leave comments on what you have seen. I plan to bring this person in to the light and make sure that they will never do it again.

Censorship

It has come to my attention just now that a certain popular site has been killed by the powers at hand. The person who maintained this site was called down to the office and something happened that lead him to shutting the site down immediately. This is so common of school today they censor students when they use thier creativity in a way that is not “PC” or is maybe even slighty questionable. Yes the site might have been maybe a little questionable but there was nothing on the site that was bad or even remotely illegal of any sort in fact the site had not even been released. Those who know what im talking about I ask that you think of other uses of this site to spite the authories that have lead to its demise.
Fight the system

Cyber Knightmare

My Cable modem sucks. I am downloading at like 2.4 k /sec. I want 4 T1 lines to my house tommarrow for free.

Kernel 2.4.1 time

I do not like the research process. It drags out so much of the process. Once I have the facts on paper I don’t need to reorganize them 8 times before actually typing it. That process might of been useful before the word processor but I have Word now. I can cut and paste now, anything can be moved around. I find that making notecards and a anotated bibliography to be quite excesive. Also, outlines are stupid, once you have notecard you can just stack them up the way you want to write it. I’m tired and im going to sleep very soon now that im done with all my work.

I’m a senior BABY! I only have 5 more months of Public school. It just hit me again cuz I’m wearing my senior shirt. Its soo cool, its like something you thought would never come but its finally come and its all chaos and insanity. Its like the unexpected expected, its an oxymoron its crazy.

Long time no update. Its time for me to write my annotated bibliography. Dance/trace makes the work much easier
