Race

Many people think that racism does not exist but it does. Many people also think that we have broken a "glass ceiling" by putting Obama in office but we technically we have not elected a African-American president so I don't think we have broken anything. I think many people are still prejudice but I think they hide it more. I do not feel that in my life time or anytime soon that there will come a time when racism does not exist.

Gender

I thought that in the year 2009 we are suppose to all be equal but I think people left out gender inequality. I feel like females have less windows of opportunities then males do. Whenever I went to Hawaii this past summer my "poppy" aka my grandpa would be able to get people to give him cheaper prices at the Flea Market then I could get them to give me. I also feel that women get exploited I get tired of guys looking at girls and giving them looks and making comments its not polite and many girls do not like it. Me and my boyfriend Jeremy went to the beach for our anniversary in April and we were walking down the strip of Myrtle Beach and these guys yell at me and make a comment about my breast. You never hear guys getting yelled at and I don't think its fair.

Reality TV

Reality TV! Do I need to say anymore? Don't get me wrong I love to watch crazy scripted people on TV just like anyone else but the shows are getting more outrageous. The Bad Girls Club why cant we have a show called The Good Girls Club? I think we as Americans LOVE drama. We just cant wait to turn on our TV and see who is going slap who this week and who can cuss the loudest. Heidi and Spencer who care that they got married people marry dirt bags everyday. Whats the big deal?

Infant Killed

I just read a article on FOX News website http://www.foxnews.com/us/index.html about this guy that threw his ex-girlfriends baby out of a window onto a highway. Stuff like this just makes me sick! How could someone possibly kill a innocent child, people like this do not need to be walking our streets. To me it seems like more and more children are turning up missing and later found dead. Our world just seems so unsafe and makes me thank God that I'm so blessed.

Miss USA

Miss California Carrie Prejean was runner-up to the crown of Miss USA this past April. Many people including herself believe that was not crowned Miss USA due to the answer she gave to her on-stage interview question. Her question basically asked her if she believed that same sex marriage should be legal in all 50 states. Miss California replied with a very wordy NO! Being a pageant girl means that you are a part of a industry that gays and lesbians are welcomed in to with open arms. If she wanted to win the pageant then why say what she did? Lie! She is very admirable for speaking how she believed but she should have thought a little more about it. I personally do not care if same sex marriage is legal, I think that is between those people and their God. I do not feel like it should be any ones business who marries who!
