Wikipedia Info

In class one day we were discussing how Wikipedia is not a valid source of information and I was talking to my boyfriend the other day and he shared some information about that website with me. Apparently you can go on there and change anybodys information and anything that is posted on the website. This compromises any information that is posted there because how do we know that this is what the original author wrote and how do we know that it is correct. Once I learned this information from him i lost all respect for this website and would not trust the information gathered from it, nor would i ever use it in an acedemic piece of writing.

Just thought I would let everyone know that...

Just some thoughts..

Sometimes terrible terrible things happen in life that we have no control over. Some people say everything happens for a reason and all i have to say to those people "really...then what do you say to the girls who where raped??"...cuz that really happened for a reason right?...NEVER!...no person should ever have to go through that and on top of that the effect are long term and sometimes the victim is screwed up for life. They will never be the same, never feel safe again, have trust issues, never want to get close to a guy, basically live a miserable life. How do you get them to feel safe again?..maybe they'll be lucky and find a great guy that protects them, loves them as a person and not just a sex object, makes them actually feel SAFE for the FIRST time in years....but maybe not. Most victims dont do anything about the incident because most people dont realize how hard it is to prosecute a rapist and all the humiliation involved in the trial. Most victims dont tell their families because its to hard, they dont want to have to relive it over and over again, they dont want their families to know something so terrible happened to their little girl. Sometimes you wonder how God could let something so terrible happen... is He not supposed to protect you more than any human ever could and love you with all his heart?..This topic has confused me for years...no one has answers to the questions and its very frustrating topic. There is so much heartache and tears and no one can help make it any better, no matter who you try to talk to.

This is why I am going to be a therapist for rape victims..

More From FREEP

The local issues that are getting the most coverage are still the Grant case and then there was also the Comerica leaving issue. These cases are the first that I see everytime I visit the website. Its obviously continually posting stories because that is what most people would like to hear about. The thing that stands out the most to me is the Grant case because that is what i'm always hearing about. All the other stories and headlines that I see seem so unimportant. For example there is some things about a running back that is injured or a specific stories about a superintendant, this to me is all garbage. I really do not care about such specific stories and would rather hear about global issues or even just issues that without a doubt will effect every person..not just the people in that school system or the people that like this football team. All the stories that only pertain to a small group of people are a waste of time and they should be covering stories that people actually care about. They definetly use the "drama factor" to play up there useless stupid stories so people will actually want to read them...especially in the titles of the stories they will use this factor to grab a readers attention. All the stories for Oakland county are about stabbings, killing, and attacks...this is taking the "drama factor" a little to far and people are now going to only think that terrible things happen in Oakland county. I do not think that news reporters give accurate stories or a variety of stories about what is going on in each city. They only pick the "juicy" topics because they believe that's what people want to hear. Personally all of that is NOT something i want to hear and that is why i choose to not read or watch the news because it is a bunch of garbage. The newscasters are fake and pretend like they care but they really dont at all. I think some of their stories should be about the positives that are happening in our cities and how we are changing them for the better. Right now i dont know what i might want to write about...right now there are just murder or attacks and i dont know how i could write a paper on something liek that. There is a woman that comes into my work and she works for my city counsel in Novi and I'm going to ask her what they are talking/argueing about now and see if that would be a good topic.

Free Press News

after looking around the new website i noticed it was all about the murder case and they had serveral links involving the story, the story about how she was discovered and how they got the warrant because of that and then finally pictures of her. Right now this story seems to be very consuming, repetitive and i find myself wondering why its' getting so much attention considering stuff like this happens all the time. I hate watching the news because they pretend to be so emotionally attached and sympathetic but they really dont give a shit. Quite frankly most of the stories on the news, local especially involving missing cats or a run away shopping carts I do not care about at all.

Pic of the week..

this is another picture of one of the most important people in my life...the boyfriend..my little brother took this pic when we were sleeping...

Review..

the restaurant review is going pretty well so far...still working on some things and getting it into the "review" style writing instead of just a paper, which is a little difficult for me to get use too but I think it will turn out ok. I really like the restaurant i've chosen so I have a good feeling..

Detroit..

A while back we were talkin about how people don't usually come to Detroit for a vacation..well this past weekend i was spendin a lot of time in a few airports and when i was in the philly airport i was talkin to some ppl and one girl was from virginia beach and she was going to Detroit to visit her dad, have a vacation and go to the casinos.. and when she said she was vacationing there a women talking with us was shocked that she was going to Detroit for a vacation. She said "have you ever been to Detroit?!..why would you ever want to go on vacation there??" So the conversation continues and i'm thinking about how Detroit has such a bad reputation and the only thing that this woman was going for was the casinos...
