First thing I read today that caught my interest was a couple of NFL players trying to take back a ''donation'' from their high school.....All because the school refuses to put their last name on the score board....when the school has a clear policy on putting names on school property. Last time i checked a DONATION was given out of the goodness of your heart. To help someone/something out. Am I right here? The NFL players, Erin and E.J. Henderson, should respect the schools policy and just want to help the players out. Unfortunately that's not how people operate. Everyone wants something. It's a shame. I'll post a link to the story at the end of the post.
The next story I read had to do with the Pakistani government passing a law that would censor text messaging. Words that were deemed obscene will be censored. Words such as headlights, Jesus Christ, and tampon. Yes.....tampon is considered obscene. Reading things like this really makes me glad that we still have freedom of speech....well....for the most part anyways. Yeah if you really honestly think that we have total freedom of speech still I suggest you take a closer look at things. Anyways, how silly is that to have to censor text messages..... I couldn't imagine living some where that I couldn't say what I wanted, where I couldn't dress how I wanted. Just makes you realize while things may not be going perfectly in the U.S. it's still better than most places!
