Stereotypes. We all hate them, and yet we all use them. I mean, what exactly makes somebody a 'prep,' and what makes somebody a 'geek,' and so on... Is it how they talk? How well they do in school? What they wear? There are hundreds of reasons why someone can be categorized, but does that really mean their personality matches what they portray from the outside?

A person should be judged on what kind of person they are on the inside, not on how they look or who they hang out with. Actually, people should NOT be categorized at all. We categorize animals, not people...

In school, I knew a girl. Lets say her name was 'Sam.' 'Sam' used to always wear black clothing, she had lots of piercings, and she wore heavy eyeshadow and eyeliner. I bet you already categorized her as a 'goth,' didn't you..? Well she heard this comment a lot and she would always ask me, "what is a goth!?" I had no idea what to say because honestly, I have noo idea either. Well, let me tell you what type of person Sam was. She had blonde hair, she was on the cheerleading squad, and she was one of the nicest people I have ever met! Whenever I was upset, I knew she would always be there for me to make me laugh because she was very comical!

So this is my point. Yes I know people do stereotype themselves, but what's the point? Wear what you want because you like it. Talk how you want because that's the way you want to portray yourself. There is no point in having a 'reason' for why you are the way you are. So rather than saying "Hy, my name is ____ and I am a ____," just say "Hy my name is___" and let that be the end of it! Just as long as you stay true to yourself and you know your happy the way you are, then you don't need to justify your actions to others by makings reasons for why you 'always wear pink,' or why you 'always ride on a skateboard' and why you 'always get A's.' Let your personality shine, and don't let a silly little stereotype shape you into a person.

George W. Bush


The past eight years, there has been nothing but negative comments directed towards our former President, George Bush. "He's a monster," so many people have said. But why? I have heard all of the negative comments and some reasons, but never have I heard a legit. argument!

Please explain to me why we are giving our current President, Barack Obama, sooo many excuses for well, lets face it, doing a BAD job at running our country by saying 'he came into his first year of Presidency in a bad situation when it comes to the war and our economy crisis.' Well what do you think President Bush came into for his first year of Presidency? He was lucky enough to come after Bill Clinton who could have avoided the entire war! "President Bush wanted to go to war!" Who in the world WANTS to put their own men into a war?! NOBODY, THAT'S WHO! Bill clinton had the opportunity to get rid of Saddam Bin Laden, he literally had him at the threshold of his hands! But what did he do, he let that crazy man go. And do you know what ironically happened a short time after that? 9/11 ! Oh my goodness, that must be a total and complete coincidence, right!? haha, oh, I think not.

So please, any one who can explain to me why Obama has 1million excuses for his bad job at being President when George Bush has absolutely NO SLACK? Please, post your opinions. But make sure you use no profanity and are basing your opinion on facts, not on your personal emotions.
