Always Remember

This morning, on Facebook, I see a fourteen year old child post a status saying “here we go again w the stupid sept 11 statuses. it was 12 yrs ago, get over it.” This is so incredibly sad to me that I feel the need to blog about it. Of course, this boy was a … Continue reading →

Westboro Baptist Church coming to Alabama

I’ve always said that if they ever came anywhere near my home to protest, I would like to do something cool like this to stop them. The Westboro Baptist Church has announced plans to picket at the University of Alabama on May 18 to “remind them of the wrath of God that visited them two years … Continue reading →

Living in the south and being an accidental racist

I live in the south. I watch Duck Dynasty, I wear camouflage, and I own at least one article of clothing with a Confederate Flag on the front. We sit on porches, and we say “ain’t” and “y’all.” We drink sweet tea and eat lots of fried food. Yes, we have all of our teeth. … Continue reading →

“Legitimate rape” comments don’t pay off. Shocking, right?

It’s no secret that many politicians say absurd things about women’s reproductive rights. Apparently, voters don’t approve. Representative Todd Akin and Indiana Republican Senate hopeful Richard Mourdock lost their respective races last night. If you’re wondering, Akin was the guy who made the comments about a woman’s reproductive system shutting down and preventing pregnancy if … Continue reading →

Obama & Persuasion: How to Become President

This is yet another recycled psychology discussion question, as I seldom have time to do “real” blog posts anymore. Please keep in mind that I don’t necessarily support Obama just because I wrote about him for an assignment. This paper does not reflect my political beliefs. Identify a figure from politics, religion, business, or television who is … Continue reading →

September 11, 2001

Apparently I have offended one of my followers by not writing a post about 9/11. My apologies. I’m a full time college student who works almost 30 hours a week. I don’t get paid to do this blog, nor do I any longer get school credit for it. I simply had other things on my plate. … Continue reading →

A belief in a just world… but is the world just?

I have not dropped off the face of the earth, like some of you may have been thinking. The new semester has been keeping me extremely busy, and I haven’t had time to do any writing that isn’t school related. Which brings me to this blog post, which is another recycled psychology assignment. The prompt … Continue reading →
