http://en.irangreenvoice.com/article/2011/aug/18/3245
I do not think that the Iran will ever stop arresting its journalists in the country. Goodness they are cracking down on freedom of the press in the country. Usually it is to stop people from broadcasting all the evil that is happening in the country. They keep arresting people, that is what happens in an authoritarian government.
They love to suppress the people because if they know that it gets out what they are doing to the people then they will need to be held accountable. In Iran they torture people and whip people in the jails. I think that something needs to be done about Iran. The people can leave the country if they want, but sometimes it is hard to get out of the country. Especially, if they want to keep watch of you to make sure that you do not try to get them in international trouble.
Most of the journalists that get arrested is because they are reformists and/or they are speaking out against the atrocities of the police and the government.
I pray that the people continue to battle it out with the government and they do not give up. The articles that I have provided you state what is going on in Iran right now. They arrest the most journalists in the world. They are trying to crackdown on journalists because of speaking out against the government. Also they are arresting human rights lawyers. They usually defend the journalists in कोर्ट

Joe Paterno and the Westboro Baptist Church
So the Westboro Baptist Church has decided that they are going to picket his funeral. It is there right to do what they want and say what they want. They say that he is going to hell for the child molestation and abuse that he has committed against those little boys. How do you know that he is going to hell? What if he believes in God and has asked God to forgive him for the crimes that he has committed? What gives you the right to predict his damnation? He is to be judged by God and only God.
The church that I go to is to love people for who they are and accept them for who they are. I may not agree that homosexuality is the right way to live, but that is what I believe. I have plenty of friends that are homosexuals, if they want to do what they want to do that is fine.
Joe Paterno was wrong for what he did, but I will let God be the judge of him. I think that the pastor and the whole church community should look at themselves before judging others. Even my statement is a contradiction because I know that I judge others too I try not to, but we all do it either voluntarily or involuntarily.
I think that Westboro is a little bit on the extreme.

Occupy the Courts?
So you now want to occupy the courts?
Well they are occupying the courts because the Supreme Court allowed companies to donate to political campaigns. However, did you know that companies donate to both Democrats and Republicans? Did you know that labor unions still donate to the Republican campaigns too? If you take a Government class and few more politics you will see that. My professor showed us statistics on PACs that donated to both Republicans and Democrats and it showed that they like to donate to both even when they are running against one another.
Americans forget that there two sides to the story. Corporations if they donate are going to likely donate to both types of candidates. This is the problem with America they think that everything is one sided. Labor unions when they form PACs, they do donate to both sides.
Not everything is black and white as people would like to think. There is plenty of gray when it comes to campaign contributions.

Armenian Genocide
The people that killed the Turkish-Armenian Journalist trial info: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-16632890
Frances Bill to make it illegal to deny the genocide ever occurred: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-16407046
So the Armenian Genocide has been popping up over the news lately. Honestly, France and Turkey both need to cut it out.
1. The Armenian Genocide did happen, so stop denying it Turkey. Talaat Pasha even admitted that he was doing and he did not deny it. The only ones that were denying it was the Germans because that was their ally during World War I. Turkey you need to own up that it did happen, there is plenty of evidence. Obviously, the generations that are alive now cannot be punished for a crime that their forefathers committed.
2. France you helped draft the UN Human Rights and with this law you are going to violate the very thing that you help create. How in the world do you think that you are justified to make it illegal to deny the genocide. Their is always going to be people that do not believe that the genocide ever happen. You are denying their free speech and you are wrong for that. I am happy that Turkey has got relations to you, why are you continuing to try and punish those that do not believe it happen.
I think that both sides are coming at the Armenian Genocide wrong. Turkey needs to own up to it and France needs to not violate the right to free speech. I think that we need to remember the past so that we do not repeat acts of genocide. However, do not try to punish the current population for what occurred a century ago.

Nigeria
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-16330093
Like I said I was going to do I am going to talk about Nigeria. I know that it has been about a month since the Christian church bombings. However, I have something to say.
The Christians got attacked on Christmas day and a number of people did die during those blasts. Then the Christians retaliated by bombing an Islamic school.
I think that both sides are wrong for trying to hurt one another over their religious beliefs. No one should attack a church or a school, it is wrong for both sides. They should not try to harm one another. Definitely Christians should not do it because God would never want us to hurt one another like that. I know that every religion and one point in time has killed many people in the name of God. For instance, The Crusades.
I know the world is not perfect, but Jesus would never have wanted us to try to kill one another.
By the way, I acknowledge that there is not going to be complete peace on this earth and there is always going to someone killing another, I know that. However, you can try to better the world, but perfection will not be achieved.

Spring 2012
Okay so I have taken a bit of a break from blogging. However, now I am going to begin posting again as the academic semester begins again. There is a correlation because that is when I hear the most controversial subjects and I always have something to say, well usually!
My first post is going to be dealing with the issue that is happening in Nigeria. The reason for this is because the problem has been happening for awhile, but things really escalated since the Christmas attack on a couple of churches.
Religious wars here I come...

Increase Benefits with A Cost
So Congress has decided that they want to increase benefits to people that are receiving Social Security and Medicare. However, all this benefits are going to come at a high cost. Taxes are going to increase, the Congress is going to increase taxes so they could pay for all these benefits. As a result, inflation is going to occur and the people that are going to be affected the most are the poor people.
The poor people are going to impacted because Congress is going to decrease the amount of people that are going to receive aid. They have to decrease aid in areas that affect them the most. Like Head Start programs, Food Stamps and other forms.
Now before you start trying to blame a party. Look at it this way. One, Republicans hold a majority in House of Reps. Two, Democrats hold a majority in the Senate. Congress has decided that this was the only solution, but there is more solutions then what they think. This is similar to what happen in Jimmy Carter's time and Ronald Reagan decreased taxes in order to get inflation down.
History tends to repeat itself. People may think it is cool that Social Security and Medicare got increased, but in the end it is the same before the benefits were increased. Taxes increase and so does the price to live.
