Technology

Hey guys so as many of you know I am currently an undergrad student at Bridgewater State University, and what is going on this week is something called social media week.  Today's topic is actually Technology and how it plays in to relationships.  Technology is extremely important in our day in age as word travels extremely quickly through it.  If we look at something such as facebook, we see that it's no longer probable to ever be wondering what that coworker was doing on Friday night.  Every time you update that profile whether it be a status update or a new picture, it is up there for the world to see.  This can sometimes hurt people as they do not think really about what they post or what pictures are ending up on their page.  Facebook is also a big part of the hiring process for most jobs in the U.S.  Next time you think about posting that picture of  you "ripping the bong"  or "going vertical" on a handle of vodka just think about who could possibly see it and if they would approve, because it doesn't really matter how good you look and sound going in to that interview when they can pull out the pictures from your facebook showing you participating in illegal activities. 

Another thing that technology plays in to is personal relationships such as with your girlfriend or boyfriend.  Before the "facebook generation" people were not really as uptight about there relationships as they are now, nor were people as informed about who is dating who.  This tends to be a problem when people start to get what I like to call "facebook craze" this is when they scour facebook just to learn about how the relationships are of people that they rarely talk to or just met.  When people get this craze it usually turns in to a hardcore game of creeping, and as we all know creeping is never a good thing.  Well that is all I have to say today, and just remember be careful... this isn't Myspace anymore.

Skaters disrespecting priest *Warning this article and video are rated Mature, Please be advised*

Hey guys so my article today is about something that really pisses me off and should be addressed immediately.  This problem is disrespectful kids, and it is swarming through youtube like a bat out of hell.  In the video above there is about 40 kids skateboarding on church grounds, and when the priest comes out and asks them to leave they refuse and start yelling.  This turns in to a shouting match between the 40 kids and the one 70-year-old priest.  There are words being flung around such as "f&#@ing c@#t," or "you f@!$ing racist pr#$k"  and this is the part that really gets me angry, not only are they being disrespectful but they are pretty much being pussies too.  Not only is there 40 of them attacking the 70 year-old-priest, but they are attacking him after trespassing on his property and refusing to leave.  Now I have seen many of these types of videos that these skaters have put up on youtube with titles like "dumbass cop attacks teen" and things of that nature and I always wonder do these kids think that they are right?  I know I'm not one to judge, wait of course I am I'm writing a blog, these kid's should honestly be lynched.  The parents of these kids should feel considerably bad, as they are officially the world's shittiest parents.  Honestly did they ever teach their kids right from wrong or did they miss that issue of parenting weekly?  Or how about the respect factor, if these were my kids I would kick the shit out of them.  If one of my kids came home and showed me a video of how a "dumbass cop hit him," I would ask him if he learned anything and if he said no then I would beat his ass.  If you watch these videos you will find that 9 times out of 10 the kids deserved it.  Well that's enough of my rant. (I need to stop before I pop anymore blood vessels in my head for being so pissed off)  Have a good day everyone and remember I don't condone violence... unless its against these disrespectful kids.
