Destroying Property isn't Fun For Anyone

The definition of vandalism is and action involving deliberate destruction of or damage to public or private property. This article states that there are many factors that can go in to people vandalizing property but the number one reason among college students is alcohol. They go hand in hand, because there are so many bars near campuses its easy for college kids to go out and get drunk, which then leads to them destroying things whether or not its personal or not. 
Vandalism can be summed up very quickly, it's not right and shouldn't be done.  Going out and having a few drinks with some friends isn't a big deal. But when it gets to the point that you are so drunk that you go out purposely ruin someone's personal belongings. How would you like it if you woke up and saw that your car was written all over or the side of your house was spray painted, you would be very upset and angry.

Sticks and stones can't break bones but can sure hurt

In this article there is a girl that is accused of setting up a fake Face Book page called "Stonewall Hoes". She put up nine pictures of other girls and put up rude captions underneath each picture.  This 16 year old girl is now under arrest and possibly facing up to a year in prison and up to a 2,500 dollar fine.  All of the parents are upset about this case and say it is absolutely ridiculous that this is happening.
In my opinion, I believe that Face Book has allowed way to many things to get on their site.  In the beginning it was a way to meet new friends and talk to old ones.  Now when you log on you never know what you may see.  One day it will be a huge fight wishing each other dead, and the next it will be a half naked girl right there for everyone to see.  I think that Face Book really needs to take a step back and really look at whats going on in their site. http://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/Student-Charged-in-Facebook-Cyber-Bullying-Case-118394349.html

Not that Important

The video that I chose is a very deep message.  Who would want to see their kid's car all torn up and smashed to pieces?  The video is trying to really get the message across on how serious it is that if you text and drive you will die.  They do this by showing the daughters face, which is covered in blood and she isn't moving or blinking.  Also there is a stick coming through the shattered windshield.
I believe that the video is very persuasive.  It wants the viewer to really see that if you do text and drive you have the risk to end up like the girl in the video.  Another affect the video has on the viewer is that when you see the mother come running out you can tell that there is something wrong, but you really can't guess what it is, until the camera turns to the car and shows how bad of an accident her daughter got into due to texting and driving.

Man code

Why men don't talk to women...

Its actually very simple, women are crazy.  I totally agree with the author of this video no matter what guys do women always freak out or over react to EVERYTHING. The author was trying to get the point across that men can never do anything right for a girl, because no matter what the girl will always freak out about something. 

I couldn't get the code to embed in the post and I don't know if the video is linked right either.
