do it for the puppies

The idea that i really liked was one of the first few i saw. it was about building a better animal shelter in Marion South Carolina. I'm a big animal lover and i feel animals don't get the love and care that they deserve. i recently went to an animal shelter in voorhees and i feel in love with all the cute faces that i saw there and i wished that i could do more for them. i hope this idea wins money but not just end there; i hope it starts a domino effect and more animal shelters across the country are built or given more money to become better. animals and just like babies all their life. they need 2 be nurtured and sheltered and loved not abandoned and neglected.

SEXting


Ever seen a naked picture? ever taken a naked picture and sent it out? Not everyone has but the number of those who do seem so be growing each year. now what happens if that picture gets leaked? all of a sudden the whole school has seen you naked and you feel like your life is basically ruined. in reality your reputation is mostly likely torn to shreds but you life isn't ruined...just really crappy. what i don't understand is how, if its done by teenagers, its still considered child pornography and people can be charged as a sex offender.

those laws were put in place to lock up creepy 40 year old dudes who get off on looking at pictures of young kids, not dumb teenagers. most of the time I'd assume sexting goes on between a couple and there's still that trust factor but then a messy break-up could lead to a slip but now that little slit could result in a whole unnecessary "scandal".
its ridiculous in my opinion. yes they should be disciplined for their actions but authority is going over board in this case. a boy sends a picture of his ex-girlfriend to a buddy or two, she doesn't even have to be naked, and he could be put on the sex offender list for life resulting in things like having a hard time finding a job and having to go to therapy groups with real pervs. that's unfair and unjust and i strongly believe a stronger line needs to be drawn between sexting and child pornography.
