A 14-year-old girl has been suspended for wearing a nose ring that is she describes as an “article of faith.”
The girl and her mother belong to “Church of Body Modification.” The school says that the nose ring violates the dress code. Here is the link: Link
Should the girl be allowed to wear her nose ring in school?
Is it me, or has xanga been a little glitchy recently?
Remember the girl who threw the puppies into the river? The police found her and decided to not charge her with a crime.
The police in Bosnia said that the puppies were all rescued from the river. PETA is saying that is hard to believe. Here is the link: Link
Do you think the puppies could have survived?
I was just reading an article in The New York Times about how some people view Mark Zuckerberg, the creator of Facebook, and will see him as someone to admire him while others will denounce him.
Mark is the subject of a movie called “The Social Network.” I went to the movie this last Friday and I just loved it. My wife hated it.
In the movie, Mark is portrayed as a guy who was willing to step over friends and other people in order to get to the top.
My favorite parts of the movie were related to him hacking email lists so he could blast Facebook out to others. I have always thought xanga should be more aggressive about getting email lists and sending them out.
Even if the movie is not totally accurate, Mark probably had to break a few rules to get ahead. So I am not in favor of stepping over friends but I am in favor of breaking imaginary rules.
Do you tend to admire Mark or denounce people like him?
Three puppies were returned to their owners after being stolen. The puppies were worth $3000 each.
The thieves drop off the puppies after the story was in the news. Here is the link: Link
I always thought a few hundred dollars was pretty high for a pet. I can’t imagine buying one for $3000.
How much would you be willing to pay to buy a pet?
Without looking, do you know the capital city of your state?
A guy is being charged for having sex with a 14-year-old girl. He was 19 at the time he had sex with her.
He is “five years and two months older” than the girl.
He is facing up to 10 years in prison. Here is the link: Link
Does the 19 year old guy deserve 10 years in prison for having sex with a 14-year-old girl?
I was talking to a friend the other day and she mentioned she wouldn’t friend her husband on facebook. She said she needed the Internet to be her little place where she could get away.
But her husband thinks that it is part of marriage to share things and believes she should add him as a friend.
Should the woman add her husband on facebook?
When I was growing up, I always loved the Summer. I hated the cold in the winter. I was raised in Northwest Indiana right off Lake Michigan.
It would get so cold with the wind off Lake Michigan.
But now I live in Houston and the Winter is not too bad even if it has a few cold days. I don’t mind the hot weather during the summer. The Fall is nice because it is perfect at night when we take our nightly walks.
Which season do you like the most?
