Google Disappointed Me

When typing "Martin Luther King Jr." into the Google search bar something unexpected happens. The second link that pops up brings you to a white supremist site. I find this to be unacceptable. Google should block this site. It is both racist and just plain wrong. I actually laughed at how absurd some of the things on the site were. The worst part is that students who have projects on him may not realize that none of this is true and that it is run by such bad people.

Tattoo Thoughts

Recently I have begun talking to my father about getting a tattoo. He and I have very different views on the subject. He seems to think that getting a tattoo is a terrible idea. My father is a bit on the old fashioned side so he sees tattoo as somewhat taboo. I have tried explaining to him that the tattoo I will be getting is not offensive in any way and that it is meaningful. No matter how much convincing I do he simply does not see the good side of getting a tattoo.
I see tattoos as the single best way to express yourself. There is no better way to show your appreciation for something than to get it permanately imprinted on your body. I think the permanence of tattoos is the reason many people do not like them. It is hard to find something you like enough to commemorate a piece of your body to but, when you do, you will know it.
I can see the negative side too. Some people make really poor decision when it comes to getting a tattoo. For instance, my friend works with a man who got a picture of a South Park character named Cartman tattooed on his arm. I find this absolutely ridiculous. It is tattoos like that that give tattoos a bad name. If you are mature and responsible about picking your ink then there is no downside to me.

Cell Phones Banned from Schools?

The district attorney is making motions to remove cell phones from school grounds. This idea is absolutely absurd as well as impossible to enforce. Are they planning on using metal detectors? I use to go to a school in Malden and the metal detectors they had did not work at all. People came in with far worse things than phones. I think they should worry about bigger issues than kids with cell phones.

Snowday Payback

I have recently heard a terrifying rumor. The school system might April vacation. This is due to the incredibly high amount of snow days. First of all they should not be allowed to do this because it's just salt in the wound to have us go extra days plus have to move all this snow. I did not ask for the snow, I should not be punished with extra school for it. I heard this rumor in school but this site reminded me of it.
