Homophobic Bullying

Don't stand for homophobic bullying. It is not okay to bully someone because of what they do or who they are. It is easier to just accept people for who they are and what they've become. That is the best way to live. I believe that discriminating a person or persons for liking the same gender is not okay. By doing the little things like not bullying other people for something we have no control over can help lead the world in the right path. The main focus for us is world peace, taking little steps such as this can inch us closer to the main goal. Once again, just accept people for who they are because it is uncontrolled by you.

Uprising In Egypt

Egyptian citizens have began to protest poverty, rampant unemployment, government corruption, and autocratic governance of President Hosni Mubarak. Egypt has yet to see a protest this big since the 1970's. The government responded by blocking their citizens from twitter and facebook. These were the tools used to communicate with other citizens about the protests and rally's. Protests occurred in three major cities in Egypt; Cairo, Alexandria, and Suez. Mohamed ElBaradei, returned to Egypt from Vienna. He was seen as a potential leader if Mubarak should ever lose power. ElBaradei began to lead the protests. When the largest protests were about to take place they got shut down because the government began to shut down all access to internet. They were using facebook and twitter to start some of these rallies.
