know your facts!

I read this book called "Genral Irnorance" by John Lyoyd and John Mitchinson. I read things like: a chicken can live without its head for two years. Or did you know Penton Randolph was the first president of U.S.? after death your finger nails and hair grows three days later. And many more things that people do not know. It shows that what we know is not alot. Maybe its because people don't bother to get the whole story, or they misunderstand. Ether way, they are ignorant. Not getting your facts straight is costly. Even the simplest things, you should know what your talking about. In history we see many of people make ignorant mistakes, leading others to misguidance. Prosperity and good things come from knowledge... if we truly know it.

South African Cure for AIDS: Having Sex with a Virgin?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

http://www.truthorfiction.com/rumors/a/aids-virgins.htm

Mainly spread by local shamans, its effect is deadly. As you may know, the number of people with AIDS in South Africa its rapidly increasing. And due this false allegation, this isn’t helping the stats go down. Virgins are usually young, so the infected men seek out youngest girls possible. In one heart breaking incident, two 9-month old girls were raped by six men and now fighting for there life’s. Babies aren’t meant to have intercourse, so that’s why it is not only wrong to rape girls, but bad for health. And, well, they have AIDS, so now the babies have AIDS! This "urban legends that kills" is prove of how desperate situations cause people to do desperate things. Also, how the truth is vital component to a society’s well being. One in five South Africans believe that this cure will work! People need to hear what is true, or face the consequences. Especially if children are involved, it needs to stop NOW! South Africans believe in this cure most of all but sadly many our cultures belief this too. For instants, Cambodia, India and Jamaica all belief this too! In Cambodia, this is amplifies the growing number of child hookers. In Jamaica, it has been said that in the Ministry of Health said having sex with a virgin can cleanse you of your AIDS. Having more sex only raises AIDS. Its only cure is to get help, and use condoms …or not have sex at all! Having unprotected sex is this began. A majority of South Africans are uneducated, and the answer to healing AIDS is educating people about this issue. They are smart people but have the unfortunate of not able to get the information they need. Ignorance, fear and lies, is not gonna help this horrifying disease.

In just one month 7,500 people lost their jobs in Minnesota

As you probably know, we are in a recession. A collapsed economy and we are running out of jobs. We are in scary times, especially if you’re the one without a job. You’d think that your job is secure but it could be gone, just like that. Lucky, because of the recession, SOME jobs are prospering. Few such as, therapy, probably because people are sad about losing there job and need help, and Workforce Center’s. Most of which are filled and crowed. One of these people, Brian Donovan, says his been working 8 and a half years. Never thinking he’d lose his job. He’s a reliable, hard worker who says he’s never been laid off before. Frightened, he came to a work center, called the “Employment Ready U.” it helps, but he is still searching. I guess you can really never know when you might lose your job. So, the article suggests that always keep a resume on hand, just in case. http://www.kare11.com/news/news_article.aspx?storyid=530087&catid=14

Proposition 8. NO?!

You’ve probably heard of Arizona, California, and Florida’s proposition to oppose gay marriage. WHEN IT HAS ALREADY BEEN DECIDED that gay’s could get married. There were 18000 people who were married and now the state has technically divorced them?! I don’t see why is affects anyone’s live if gays are married. If fact, its worse, losing money in the states. Many wedding planners had weddings booked and now people are canceling them all because of proposition 8. Another thing, the amendment was there to protect Americans rights. But what this does is exclude people’s rights. It has never about taking them away. This country was build on freedom, so why are denying gay rights. It should be your civil liberty to get married, to love. Remember when blacks did not have any rights, and now America is very ashamed of it, as would should be. This will be the very same deal, we our not learning from our mistakes. All they want to do is get married! I swear, one day our children will look on this day in history and say, what the hell is wrong with them? …And be ashamed of this country.

if the world could vote

Hi I know this is a little late on the topic, but this is about the election. On the website http://www.economist.com/vote2008/ it has stuff on how the world feels about the election. On website there is a map of the world, to show witch country is Obama/McCain. It lights up with blue and those 4 (out of 195) countries who are in favor of McCain, barely want him. Also it states “All democratic systems have their quirks, and America's is no exception” in one of its articles. The electoral college has been tried to reform over 700 times. It causes candidates to focus on swing states instead whole country. And this causes worry for the world, because they were worried that McCain would win. Why would they care??? The president of the united states is the most powerful person in the world. But if the world could vote, they would obviously choose Obama, and hopefully they got there wish. The whole world watched as we voted, I wish they could only have a say too.
