Her Name Was Steven

I was watching this show called Her Name Was Steven on CNN yesterday and truthfully........... it shocked me. The documentary was about a man named Steven Stanton who lived a happy life with his wife and and teenage son, until he started questioning his gender. He felt as if he was a women trapped in a males body. The documentary showed the struggles he went through, including the transformation, family matters, and his job. This guy was fired because he wanted to be a women. This is what makes me mad because you cant fire somebody because they want to be somebody else. They thought this was untruthful and fired him. This is SO unfair. How can you fire someone if they're not happy with their appearance. I don't understand why they deemed this as an untruthful. Its NONE of their business! It's his personal life and they have to respect his decisions, without involving his personal life with his work life. This would be a different situation he killed someone, because that's a very serious matter, and this is NOT! Personally the people that made that decision are idiots. Well in my eyes, I see them as complete idiots. I don't know how they took a mans job away just because he changed his appearance. We say that we don't judge people on how they look, but we sure do according to this matter. I know that some people may think that getting a sex change is wrong, and against nature, but you can't bias your beliefs into a mans future. I don't think these people had any right to judge him on his personal decisions, and manage to fire him. That makes no sense at all. In my opinion these people obviously have no minds of their own, because somebody should of stood up and stopped it. Clearly it's to late now, and nobody will learn from this, because honestly it takes people forever to learn from there mistakes, and sometimes it takes to long and it will be to late. This also has to do with job discrimination. Even though we like to hide the fact and say that it never happens well it DOES. This is a perfect example too. It displays all the negative characteristics about our cruel, cruel society. Sometimes we need people like this. Sometimes we need people like this to wake us up, to help us open our eyes when they aren't willing to open. I know that probably nobody cares about this because it doesn't affect them. Nobody cares because it doesn't involve them, and that's sad. To know that humanity is that selfish, to think that we don't have to have empathy if it doesn't include us. Why were we even born with the trait of empathy? It's not as if anybody uses it. I don't even know why we have hearts. Of course we need them to breath, but we all know that nobody uses them to love. Steven Stanton quotes "it takes a real man to become a women", and it does, because I bet nobody could have the courage to deal with the public humiluation he went through. As much as people love to think that he deserves this for being such a "freak", the people who made the decision are the real freaks.

Paranormal Activity

I just finished watching Paranormal Activity, and WOW do I have allot to say. This is probably the most terrible movie I've ever seen. I was listening to reviews on YouTube how original, and horrifying it was. Well I have to say, it wasn't even close to horrifying, maybe suspenseful ( hardly ). I just don't understand what all the movie hype was. I guess they were just good at advertising.......For such a low budget movie they sure did rip off allot of people. I'd rather watch Barnie, and I think that would scare me more. I think this was a poor attempt to copy " The Blair Witch Project, which was an amazing movie. I recommend watching The Blair Witch Project instead of watching this. Sure if you want to fall asleep, I highly recommend watch Paranormal activity. I was very excited to watch this because this movie made millions, many people said it was horrifying, and watching it at home was the best experience, and it wasn't. I wish I watched it in the theatres so then at least I wouldn't fall asleep. I guess it depends on what you believe in. If you don't believe in ghosts, demons, evil spirits don't watch it, because it will bore you. Coming from a person who thinks ghosts and spirits are real, it was just absolutely ridiculous. There were some suspenseful moments, but as the movie progressed it just got, let me say LAME. There isn't really much to say about this, except that it was absolutely astonishing how these people tried to make a horror movie. Good try but I suggest directing children's movies, because frankly you can't direct horror movies. So all in all the lame attempt was amusing, but I have one good thing to say.....I had a great sleep that night. I wasn't scared I was going to be dragged out of bed, or my sheets would fall off my bed, or some sonic boom would wake me up, because these are what made me fall asleep......peacefully!

Should Execution be Executed?

This question doesen't cross many peoples minds, but it's one that has crossed mine. I in no way support anybody who has committed an illegal crime, such as rape and murder, personally they mean absolutley nothing to me, but this is my opinion on execution. I think that execution is a TERRIBLE way to deal with a situation. I know that the prisoner being put on death row deserves every thing that gets thrown at them, but using the method of killing isent the way to deal with it. What kind of society puts a human in prison for killing, and yet we manage to kill them. This does not make any sence to me at all. We're just as equal as the prisoner, we think that since they kill someone, then we have to kill back. I know if you disagree with me you think that they "may" escape and "may" harm somebody, but if we lived in a world of maybes then nothing would get done. The chance of a dangerouse person escaping will always be there wether we like it or not, but we can't use death as a result to prevent an escape. None of these people deserve a life, but as much as you want them dead, you have to realize what's going on. We can't honestley call ourselves humans if we kill one another. This applys to the criminal, and to the executer. People that work in theses conditions such as prison guards, may be at the risk of death. The chances of this are slim, but it still does happen. When they take these jobs they know they're at risk, by that I don't mean it's their fault, because in NO way it is. A police officer takes the risk of being shot at when they meet up with an impaired driver, but most of the time nobody gets injured. Now a days escapes are rare, and if they do occur most of the time the prisoner is caught. For others that disagree they think that since lets say a murderer killed somebody else they dont deserve a life. This is the big issue. I totally agree with this, as much as it goes against my argument, I honestley dont think they deserve another second alive, but we have to be the ones that are right. Obviousley the saying "two wrongs dont make a right", isent being applyed. I know that the people who have experienced the death due to another's actions is so traumatic, and I can't even imagine the pain and agony. As much as you want that person dead, just think they don't have a life in prison, they have no direction in life, they have nothing. I said that execution is inhumane. I don't mean inhumane as it's bloody man slaughter, I meant it in the way that we're killing, and some how found a way to make it legal. It's illegal to kill, but we have found a legal way to kill by lethal injection. This argument can go both ways, but I know I only believe in one. So if I'm wrong then I'm damn sure I don't want to be right.
