another post of randomitude

Hey people! (As always)thanks for the comments so far and thanks in advance for any future comments I get. Any comments on absolutely anything are really appriated, even stuff not to do with the blog! Also I really love ideas about what to blog otherwise, you know, I just rant about nothing in particular. Tell me something you want me to blog about and I will do it to the best of my ability. A-n-y-t-h-i-n-g!
Anyway, I have to say that yesterday's post was kind of crazy (the points were good ones though) as I about comatose. It was about 11 o' clock at night (the time thing is wrong!) and I was angry because of the weather and I was just tired! Being tired for me is like most people drunk, I just say lots of random stuff and have like, verbal diarrhea!
Thanks again to my little followers, I love you all! Oh yeah, Brick asked for a mention so here it is! His blog is funny, read it! If anyone else wants a mention, just tell me and I won't hestiate to praise you! Also before you get any ideas from the last post, I do not hate Americans. I heartily shake Uncle Sam by the hand, I just thought that it was a bit stupid. Apparently they have their own targets but, come on, that doesn't mean that you can't work towards the same things as everyone else is if your targets are so good!

Anywho, now the formalities are over, I'll get on with the actual post.

Today I think I'll talk about (again) the issue that seems very close to all your hearts...ageism.
When people think of ageism, usually they think of people losing their jobs because they are 'too old'. This is a problem but the other side of ageism is really ignored. The fact that young people aren't taken seriously enough. Our views are as important as anyone else's.
I think the media is in part responsible. They mainly print stories with headlines such as 'Teenage Gang Murder','ASBO Teens' and the like. They are the ones that 'grab reader's attention'. What they don't often print is positive things young people do in their communities worldwide. At most these stories just get a small mention on the inside pages. I'm not saying these should specifically moved to the front page but stop making it negative all the time.
Old ladies actually give me evil glares in the street, like I'm going to jump them or something! I don't look that scary! (I'll ask Princess Bala for comfirmation of this) Seriously, that was when I was just walking to the library! Adults especially seem to think the worst of the youth of today. Have they ever really listened to us? They talk about freedom of speech, but are we given any? Not really.
We don't have a say in polotics or how our schools are run. Sure, we have student council, but can they actually affect major descions in school? Their views, and with it, the rest of the student body's, are 'taken in to consideration' meaning we'll think about it but in the end our idea will be better.
The government isn't really helping either. They keep making lots of new laws to 'keep everyone safe' but usually this means we have less freedom. What I, personally would like is to have a few legislations that gave us a bit more of a voice in things, so we make ourselves heard. Will this happen anytime soon? Probably not but I can hope!)
Those are my own personal experiences and views. If you have more power where you are I'd love to hear! If you feel the same, again, I'd love to hear! Even if you want talk about your pet dog, I don't mind! Anything and everything accepted! As long as you tell me your views, I'll be happy!)

Now I've stopped pleading for comments, I'll tell the thought of the day:

Don't all religions believe in the same basic concept?

I know I'll probably get a lot of hate for saying this but I've noticed after being lectured in R.E. about different religions, basically all religions believe in one god. Christainity, Judaism and Islam are often viewed as world's apart, but in actual fact they all actually have the old testament in their holy books! It's true! If don't believe me, Google it. The Torah is just the old testament by itself, the Bible has a bit extra (the new testament) and the Qu'ran is the bible with another bit added to it...in a very loose way of course! I'm not saying they are all the same thing but Muslims do believe in Jesus, but only that he was a prophet, not the messiah.

Tell me what you think to this. You can totally tell me if you think I'm a loony and stuff or if you think it's a load of rubbish. I want to know!)

Have fun!

3rd post (i can't think of awesome names like the rest of you!)

Wow! I feel so loved! Thanks for the feedback guys! You views are what I love to hear.
charlotte, I totally agree that is the only way to put it.
crazy-kaki-mango (your user name is absolutly awesome!) your plan for world domination will come in handy one day! (see, if I take over the world now it's your fault lol)thanks
random-your comment is appriated as usual. damn right we should be taken more seriously! But you know you can never escape fear *evil laugh*
bala-well the whole 'we're gonna knife you' thing was probably spread by the chavs for their 'street cred'. It has air quotes as at our school those idiots don't have none! (bad grammer i know but you just have to sometimes)
also thanks to everyone (again) for following my blog!

I probably should, you know, actually post something now rather than just spreading random love.
Hmmm.

Well you all seem to have very strong views on the blogging age issue so i will continue with this in future posts. I really do think we should have a little subcommunity of under 17 year olds or at least be excepted by the over 16's.

Today I was going to say something to get your brains working first, but given the current climate I to say this:
It is absolutely, stupidly freezing here!
Though I love this little green(ish) isle, Britain, which I call home (a little bit of poetic description there for you!), I really hate the weather here! It is always cold! When I go to Germany to see the relitives, it is always nice and warm. Seriously, it was like minus somethingC and I am wearing three layers while under a cover in a fully heated room. Everyone was huddling like demented penguins at break and lunch under the small bit of cover we have at our school as, to top off the horrible weather, it was raining this morning (when I had netball outside!) and stepping on the grass was like stepping on a big mud pie! fun times...
Getting the service bus back home was worse but that's another story (one which you don't want to hear me rant on about...)
Also, it is now getting pitch dark at stupid times like today, when the street lamps came on at 4.30 in the evening! It makes you feel sleepy and you can hardly do anything (aka. homework) thankfully, I have no pressing homework at the moment so I can do my happy dance! Actually the darkness is kind of a good thing as it's Diwali, which is a big thing in Leicester (aparently we will soon have more ethnic minorities than whites, which I'm cool with as we have so many cool languages and cultures you can experience by just walking down the street!) so, as I type, lots of fireworks are going off all over the place! It looks really cool! Soon, I'm going to really childish and sit at my window just watching them all night!

Well, obviously I am going to open a writhing can of worms and say some stuff about global warming. I think it is a very serious problem and you can really see (well, here anyway, tell me what's going where you are)the effects of it. Spring comes alot earlier now, same with summer and winter. For some reason autumn is still starts around the same time as always. Also, you know how some time ago there was a big conference about cutting down carbon emissions and one of the only countries not sign was America, who are probably the wealthiest countries in the world and one of the largest emmision rates. I'm sure someone tried to explain the reason why they said no to me some time ago but I seriously can't remember or think of a good reason not to cut down now. This earth needs protecting if not for ourselves, for everyone yet to come.

Right, nuff ranting

Thought for the day:

Why is Homophobia still such a big thing?

I got reminded of this subject the other day when I was watching the awesome movie, Breakfast on Pluto, which is about a transvestite growing up in 60's/70's Ireland. I'm not lesbians/bi myself but I think it's kind of shameful the way that gays/lesbians/bi's are treated/thought of in today's society. People use 'yer gay!' as an insult. Is it because people aren't well informed enough and think that all these people are the stereotypes they've created in there heads, (touching again on the fear of the unknown thing I talked about yesterday). I mean there are alot of sucessful gays such as Stephan Fry, Matt Lucas, Ian McKellen, Elton John and many more so maybe people's anxiety about how they don't want to look weak so they exploit a difference about someone else and use it to turn people against the ones who make them look bad. Discriminating against these people who have done nothing wrong (not by today's laws anyway) is as bad as more well known discriminations such as racism, maybe worse as there are less well known campaigns about it. Maybe it's because the subject makes everyone feel uncomfortable talking about it. That's why I decided to stir the water up and have it as my thought of the day.

Please comment your views (if you're brave enough)

Promise that my next post will be less contrivesial!

P.S Sorry that this post ended up as one big rant!

2nd Post (yay!)

Hey again! Sorry I didn't post yesterday, you have to blame my stupid homework or lack of organisation; either will do!)

First of all, thanks for folowing my blog! There may be just two of you, but it's much appriated! Also special thanks to Random Person for the comment! It gave me what I wanted...feedback!)

Right, better get on with the post!

Today, as last post I (more than) fully introduced myself I have decided to comment on something that have noticed.

On blogger almost all the blogs are by people over 16.

I think this down to a number of reasons:
1. People under 17 have ssssooo much homework! So no time!
2. Slighty intimidated by the lack of people our own age.
3. Don't think that opinion matters.
4. Not cool enough.
5. Facebook. Nuff said.
6. Can't be bothered.

Personally, I think that more people under 16 should blog, so I don't feel so lonely lol! But seriously, blogger should have more of us on here.

Another thing I have to say is:
Isn't it annoying when you have to go back to school after the half term holidays? Especially just the day before, when you realise that you've forgotten to do half the homework that needs handing in. Then when you get to school, you're so tired from staying up to do the homework that you can't pay any attention to what is going on around you (though some lessons are like that all the time!)
It wasn't just me who this affected. Oh no. Everyone I saw was yawning and we had a 'how long can you yawn' contest in science! I think we managed about a minute and a half...In fact 5 people had copied the physics homework for that lesson off me at morning break. I wasn't sure I had the answers right as half of them were guessed! The only thing that made waking up and coping was the fact that the clocks went back, so we all got an hour extra sleep, but for some of us (me included) it just wasn't enough, so we ended up doing stupid things like standing on our various bits of jewelery in P.E and only managed to write about six words for their project plan (errr...those last two might have just been me...)
Hopefully we'll all be feeling chipper tomorrow! (Sorry, I have just always wanted to use that word!) Though for me that is unlikely as I have still more homework to do!

Thought for the day:
You know how people say they are afraid of the dark, are they really just afraid of the unknown? And if so, isn't everyone afraid of the unknown? Whether we're talking about a fear of heights, death, water, aren't all of these fears there if we don't know what to expect if we , for example, fall, die or swim. Usually people fear something because they haven't done it before and that's why to get over a fear you have to face it.

What do you think?

There you go an extra long post for you to make up for missing one!

Have fun! (hopefully you'll be having more than me!(

a little hey to all!

Hey! This is my first post so don't kill me! )
Right, down to bussiness. I made this blog to get other peoples opinions on stuff. This will probably end up being on anything and everything!

This first post however is to tell you some more info on me (if you haven't died of boredom reading my profile!)

I am:

Blonde
Intelligent (supposedly)
Friendly (hopefully)
Kind (in a non-scary way all you people who thought of Misery!)
Helpful
Persistant(ish)
Not too loud (not too quiet either though)
Funny (in a sarcastic way)
And chatty (as you can tell by now!)

My first thing for you to ponder on is this:

Are people who eat meat but hate fur a bit contridictive?

An animal gets killed either way. In both instances it may have had bad living conditions, no matter what the end product is so is one so much worse than the other?
On the other hand the fur trade is seen as more violent and, seriously, how many times are you going to wear the thing?

Have fun thinking!

P.S The next post will be better.

Promise!
