StandardNET | Bikes vs. Boards
I think this is stupid. If anyone, skater or BMX rider, gets in the way, someone is going to be angry. It doesn’t matter. Bikes are bigger but only one person can use the different rails and ramps at the park at a time.
I use to be a BMX rider. My bike got stolen over a year ago and haven’t gotten a new one. Bikes are expensive! I also use to skate and I prefer BMX over skating. BMXing is harder and I like a challenge.

I have updated WordPress to version 1.5. I have a new style and an idea that I want to do (involves an actual site for http://www.best-dev.com/). So in the next few days, I’ll be working on getting everything coded. In the mean time, enjoy this default style! :p

Spring Break is finally here! No school for the next week! I really wish they didn’t have it so late this year. I’ve been waiting forever for it to finally come!

StandardNET | Michael Schiavo’s actions were selfish
I have tried to avoid making any comments on Schiavo but this just makes me angry.
In that letter, the writer compares Michael Schiavo to her mother who stood by her father for 15 years who had cancer. This isn’t comparing the same thing. I’d guess that the father of the writer for most of the 15 years could think for himself and not need a feeding tube. Not until the near the end of those 15 years would he need as much attention as Terry Schiavo needed for all of the 15 years she was kept alive.
The writer of the letter also states that there is a gray area between the definition of being alive and dead that needs defining. We can’t define that gray area though because each case is different. Not one is exactly the same as another.
Another thing the writer says is that Michael “portrayed Terri’s condition as comatose or vegetative to cover his weak lifestyle.” Writer, you are an idiot. You can’t fake a vegetative state unless the person who is suppose to be vegetative plays along. Unless Terry was wanting to commit suicide I doubt she was playing along. Also it is hard to fake catscans that show that most of your brain isn’t there.
The writer uses the ABCs of first aid in her letter as a way to tell if someone is alive. The ABCs of first aid is for first aid not to tell if someone is alive. Someone could still be alive and have his or her heart not beating. That is why you do CPR to keep them alive.

The teacher is gone again today and I still need to talk to here. Another wasted day …
deseretnews.com | New Ms. Wheelchair crowned after protests
How crippled do you have to be in order to be Ms. Wheelchair? This is just stupid. From what I have heard it sounds like she is in a wheel chair most of the time so taking her crown away because she stands every once in a while is crazy.

StandardNET | Principal’s strategy: Get focus off unsafe track
A while back a student for the Weber High school wrote a news article about the track and saying that it needed to be resurfaced because it was starting to be a safety risk for those using it. I guess it said something like it was resurfaced ten years ago. The principal didn’t like the article and said that the track was actually resurfaced 6 years ago. Now the principal has made it so that he has to approve every article before they are published.
So now the schools paper will report only what the principal will allow and not the truth. What a waste of paper.

deseretnews.com | Illegals have civil rights?
In my opinion, illegal immigrants have no rights. It makes me laugh when they want to vote and have other rights that citizens have but the thing is, they aren’t citizens. They came here illegal but still expect to have all of the same rights that citizens have.
If they want these rights, start the process of becoming a citizen. Its your fault you haven’t worked on becoming a citizen so you can have these rights.

deseretnews.com | Pope was truly a great man
I agree. At one of the sites I visit a guy was complaining about how much publicity the Pope was getting. One of his comments was something like will I get this much publicity when I die? Of course you won’t. You didn’t touch the lives of millions, no billions of people either through teachings or actions.
Respect is probably something he never learned. On well, the Pope is still a great man.
By the way, I’m not Catholic.

I’m sitting here at school and the teacher isn’t here. We have a subsitute and I need to talk to the teacher to see what I need to do for the hands on project. So today is a wasted day for this class. I’ll probably do a couple postings on news articles
deseretnews.com | Red ink gets spot on blacklist of many teachers, parents
I always thought red was used because it stands out the best and is easiest to see. I hate it when you get an assignment back but can’t tell what was wrong because the markings blend in with the paper. They need to stand out!
I guess people just don’t read what was written and only see the color.
