Mila Kunis Doesn't Support Romeny

And sorry, Mitt, you'll have to look for another sexy 20something to lend her support this election season. "The way that Republicans attack women is so offensive to me," Kunis exclaims. "And the way they talk about religion is offensive. I may not be a practicing Jew, but why we gotta talk about Jesus all the time? And it's baffling to me how a poor person in Georgia can say, 'I'm a Republican.' Why?"

This is a little a snippet from an atricle about how Mila Kunis is named Esquire's new sexiest woman alive.

In this one paragraph Mila literally says everything i think everyday. I think we play too much of an emphasis on religion in our country and i know it goes back to Puritan time and what not but seriously give it a rest already. Has anyone noticed every problem /war/historical crisis is linked to religion?? 

Mila is just one of many celebrities who support Obama: Beyonce and Jay-Z,  Sarah Jessica Parker, Gwen Steffani, Anne Hathaway, George Clooney, Ellen DeGeneres, Neil Patrick Harris, Ricky Martin, Eva Longoria, Oprah Winfrey, and Jessica Alba.

Mother of gay California Boy Scout fights for Eagle award

http://news.yahoo.com/mother-gay-california-boy-scout-fights-eagle-award-034229703.html

This is absolutely ridiculous to me. Like seriously this boy has been a boy scout since he was 6 years old and just because of his sexual orientation he's being denied an award he deserves and would have gotten if he fit societies stupid standards and was straight. This is a sensitive topic for me because some of my best friends are homosexual and people's bigotry and closed-mindedness on the subject really pisses me off. Looking at some of the comments on the article and making me mad because seriously what will it take to get people to realize that someones sexual orientation doesn't matter, at all. I got so upset while reading the comments i couldn't help but make one of my own
"All of you disgust me. What will it take for you people to realize that there are more important things to a person than their sexual orientation, like being a good person and having respect for others which clearly you all know nothing about. People like you all are the reason why i have lost all hope for humanity."

Ryan Andersen plans on going on Ellen's show and I wish him the best of luck because if anyone will support him and get supporters for him it will be Ellen.

US jobless rate falls to 7.8 pct., 44-month low

http://finance.yahoo.com/news/us-jobless-rate-falls-7-123110106.html

This article says that the unemployment rate is 7.8 percent, the lowest it has been in 4 years. If the number unemployed people is going down why would be change what we're doing? President Obama seems to be having a handle on things and it seems silly to me to make changes when things are actually looking up. 

The "U.S. could be growing jobs at a marginally faster pace than feared mid-summer," Guy LeBas, a strategist at Janney Capital Markets, wrote in a research note. "Even with the issues in Europe and slowing production in China, U.S. economic activity does not look to be bearing the brunt of global downside, at least not anymore."

Dad Bullying a Disabled Child

http://www.andersoncooper.com/2012/10/04/anderson-and-co-host-andy-cohen-discuss-dad-bullying-a-disabled-child

This is a clip of today's episode of Anderson Live and it showed a video about this Dad and his son that where bullying a 10 year old girl, named Hope, with cerebral palsy. I don't understand how anyone in their right mind would bully a little girl for having a disability. What makes me mad though is that in the video it was said that the police wouldn't do anything. People like the dad, William Bailey, make me sick and our society would be better of if there were less people like him.

Should Elementary Schools Hold Beauty Pageants?

http://shine.yahoo.com/team-mom/elementary-schools-hold-beauty-pageants-181000634.html

So there's this elementary school in South Carolina that wants to hold a beauty pageant. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? that school is insane if they really think that's a good idea. One of the mom's said that her daughter came home crying because she didn't think she was pretty enough to enter. Is this really what we want to teach our kids? That all that matters in life are looks? We're supposed to teach children to have values and to be good people not that your facial beauty is what will get you by in life. One of the judges said  "Let's think about the other activities children do—football, dance, soccer, swimming, ice-skating—all of those things are judged."  Ummm you can't compare sports to a freaking pageant. Sport are 1.) based on athletic ability and performance not judging who has the most facial beauty and 2.) aren't judged, you compete and let your performance dictate who wins, not a person who is biased to a certain type of look. So no, i don't think elementary schools should hold beauty pageants.
