"new canadians are our proudest citizens" <-- are you serious? :o

i found this article on the sympatico homepage this afternoon. it was unbelievable. the person who wrote the article is either a computer geek without any knowledge of the real world or a brainless politician who has his head too far up his behind.  **read this! they cant actually be serious?!**
the comments on the article are probably the best thing about it. the people who write these things and put them out for the public to see are some kind of crazy. it MUST be a social experiment to see the reactions they can get out of people. if you ask me, canada used to be a respected place where people could become one with the nation...now its more like a big mix up of where you really are (is this some middle-eastern country or did we just loose our own people??)
i have nothing again immigration but when the immigrants take over and use and abuse the services and help we provide for the people who care about our country, then there is just a line theyre crossing. the line isnt just a metaphor either; it is our canadian identity and border which is being violated by careless immigrants who think canadian citizenship is a free ride...heck, and while theyre at it, the bring their whole family.
the only time i ever hear about a 'new canadian' using their canadian citizenship is when theyre back in the country they came from and war happens to brake out. then when shit really hits the fan is when they call up the canada and say "hey, want to get us the hell out of here?...and while youre at it, my cousins, uncles, aunts, grandparents, and so on need to get help too."
canada used to be respected around the world; now, theres too many new canadians that the rest of the world couldnt even tell you what colour the original ones were. its sad to see a beautiful country like this go to undeserving immigrants who cant speak our languages, dont help pay our taxes and take our pensions after only three years of living here because it would be 'politically incorrect' to deny them from receiving pensions and top dollar jobs because it may be considered racist or violating their equality rights.
i would just looove to read some feedback on this post. let me know where you stand!

class discussion...

so we just talked about this in my sociology class yesterday. if you read the article, i would definitly agree with the judge. just because the guy had a gun doesnt mean he should be charged for the full three years. yes, he was stupid to do that; and yes, he should be punished. however, it wouldnt make sense if we paid thousands of dollars for this innocent guy to be incarcerated just because a minimum sentence says so. when people go to court, there are several things to consider for sentencing...previous convictions, reasons for having the gun, a statement from the defendant, maybe a sentencing circle or other ways to solve the problem. but there should be different sentences for different people because not everyone is the same...so why should they have the same sentences?!
^exactly

parents, this is a message for you....

dont you hate it when you have to be somewhere and it matters whether you're late or not? well think about that...
now think about being late but this time its not your fault because you are relying on your parents to get you there but SOMEHOW they manage to get you there late every. time. -.-
tell me about it.
when you DO end up getting there whether its only 5 minutes late or even an hour, someone is upset about it. in my case, its usually the teacher or my principal, or today it was my best friend. she's going on an exchange to europe and she was counting on me to be there early so i can help her set up and stuff. turns out i showed up late and everything was already done. FUN!
anyway, my friend ended up forgiving me but it was still dumb. sometimes people dont always forgive other people for being tardy. you cant do much about it when youre a kid and you have to count on your parents but its not always going to be that way. i know my parents wont always be there but while they still are, i would LOVE to be on time for once in my life. i may rant about my parents a lot but i still love them. i DO wish they would understand me a bit better sometimes though...

how ordinary people become mosters...or heroes

my stepdad and i were talking about politics and government this morning (what a wakeup) and power was the main point that came across. power is evil and

absolute power is absolute distruction!

so after we talked about this for a bit, i remembered an awesome video that was shown to me in grade 10 civics/careers class. this is the best TED talk ever. philip zimbardo is a psychologist and has a pretty interesting view about good and evil. i suggest this 100%. i was soooo amazed by his intelligence and intelect about this subject. this is a video i could watch over and over again. definitly a must see :)

sunset., a photo by dimps :D on Flickr.

^this is probably my favourite picture on my flickr. my mom and i were looking at a house up north. we were on our way back home and there was a lake and the sun was setting behind it so we stopped to take a picture and i think its BEAUTIFUL!! :D at the beginning i didnt feel like going cuz my mom and i just had a huge fight but she convinced me to go and on the way we we 'bonded'. it was kind of cool seeing my mom as another person cuz at home our relationship is always mother-daughter. but it was different on this trip. i actually saw her as someone else...almost a friend. i would never tell her this cuz ...well, i dont know. but i wouldnt want her knowing that theres anything else than the relationship we have. it sounds weird but i guess its just what im used to.
anyway, the point was that i like this picture. its unedited and just awesome (and it has a somewhat awesome memory)

trust.

so i just watched this movie called 'trust'. it was freaking scary but not the average kind of a scary movie...more like the concept of the movie being able to be a reality :S
its the moment you realize, holy crap, if youre not careful for what you do and say it could seriously do some lasting damage. definitly a movie i suggest for girls (and guys) everywhere. i guess people need to be aware of the things they do and say in that moment rather than a few moments later when its already too late.
be aware of things is the goal for this week!

i have never had a blog before so i'm not really sure what to write about...
i'm in my challenge and change in society (sociology) class and this is an assignment. its the second day and im already excited to get into the semester and do more fun assignments :)
