    I think the public is just way to hard on him. They expect him to make changes and do this and that, but they don't realize that you cant fix things that took 8 years to screw up, overnight. I personally think he's doing a wonderful job for the amount of time he's actually been in office.
    Okay, so obvi Kanye screwed up majorly. He went up on stage while sweet, innocent Taylor Swift was excepting her award for a song/video that she worked very hard on and basically said she didn't deserve it. Yes, I have lost a huge amount of respect for him, because that was just..uncalled for and rude, but I wont say I wont be the first in line to pick up his next CD or listen to his next single as soon as it drops, but what he did was f-ed up and the little 'I'm happy for you, and Imma let you finish, but...' pictures are hilarious.

    Completely ridiculous, only to the fact that it isn't legal in more states, let alone the country. What happened with the whole, separation of church & state? Oh, it's different, are we not ready for it? Bullshit. I don't want to have to move or drive up to Canada to get married one day; I want to stay where I am &if I wish to move, me & the ~lady love can do so in our own time. &I don't want a commitment ceremony -- I don't want a 'domestic partner.' I want a wife. I want the same rights as every one else; not just for me, but the whole LGBT community. A homosexual citizen of the United States is roughly the same as a hetrosexual citizen &deserves equal rights.

    I believe everyone has the right to happiness and to someone that loves them. I know it's normal for marriage to be between a man and a woman, but I don't think it should be limited to just that.

    Awful. Kids like that need to get under control and feel loved. They lack attention, that's for sure.

    Actually, I just want to kick their ass and tell them to stop. But, of course, that isn't the right answer.

    I don't support the war because it's just the Bush administration's pursuit for oil and a way to bully nation smaller than the U.S.

    It depends on the particular one. Some absolutely amazing movies are based on books. And some movies absolutely destroy books. If it's done as a way to present the story to the masses without losing it's integrity and simply because the director wants to do that, it's going to make the movie better than if you're doing it for money.

    I find them fascinating xD And partially hilarious. There's the whole 'Look, I'm smiling as I blend these tomatoes in under .2 seconds and think that you're so stupid you'll think it's because I'm happy' thing. But then it's kind of amazing how the lady's blending the tomatoes in under .2 seconds.

    I think everyone should be able to experience it, but not get caught up and ruin it by thinking "Is this the person I want to spend my life? Will we get married" and yada yada yada. I think when your in your teens you shouldn't have to worry, just chill, and when an opportunity you think is worth it's risks and benefits, take i.

    I don't mind it, I guess. I just really hate when myself - or others - try to get to the psychology behind it, like when somebody doesn't text back or the way they say something and if it gets misconstrued. It's irritating texting somebody (mainly one person for me -_-) and just wondering why they don't text back...

    I'm also always keeping in mind my credit levels, because I don't like spending too much of my mcmoney because it's such a bitch to earn. T_T

    They're satisfactory. The mainstream songs aren't really genius, musically or lyrically, but you can dance to them. One of the things that gets me is that they are played so often on the radion/television/other people's iPods that they get too repetitive and I just end up wishing that whoever wrote/sung the goddamn thing would shut up and never write again.

    It's quite lame I guess, but at the same time I completely totally love it.

    It's just... I don't know, it's one of those things that when it happens (which is rare, mind you) makes me bite my lip because if I don't I smile really big and feel like a complete lame-o :XD

    At the same time though, it can be quite misleading. The last guy who'd send quite flirty messages, I really, really liked, and while his flirting was really obvious, everything else was like, completely cryptic boytalk, and I was left feeling kind of "So, is this for real, or am I just using up some time for you? :|"

    So there's pros and cons.

    Losing virginity at a young age (what you consider to be too young)?

    I have mixed feelings on this. I think on terms of losing virginity "young" is different ages for different people. I think it depends on the circumstances too. I have a friend who lost it at 14. If someone I'd just met, for example, told me that I would automatically think less of them and perhaps think they're stupid, or just a slut, or whatetver. But with her... she'd been with the guy for quite a long time. He was a little older, they were really into each other and you could tell they cared, even though she was quite young. So her losing it to him (he lost it to her as well) seemed... idk I never really thought twice about it. They knew what they were doing and were really careful about it. But I've met people who have sex young just for the sake of it. I don't think you should have to wait until you're truely in love or married unless that's personal choice. I do think you should only do it with someone you know and trust whatever age, but I also think you should be old enough to understand what can happen as a result of having sex. Pregnancy, STIs, etc. I would normally say about 15+ is what I'd consider "acceptable" because that's when we had the hardcore sex talk (getting taught how to put on a condom, being given the pink card to get the morning after pill and stuff) rather than casual sex ed of teaching about the reproductive system. With my friend it was different because I actually knew her, but you can never know everyone, so.

    For the most part, I'm over it.

    I remember, I first heard about it when I was in photography, and I was with my friend who was on her twitter, and one of her friends had tweeted "Wow, Kanye West's publicist must be shitting a brick"

    So we got really like "Wtf did he do?!" and so we youtubed it, and I got really angry when I saw it. I just, couldn't believe he'd do that to her. It's not that he can't have an opinion, but he didn't have to express it right then while she was having her moment.
    Yeah, I was pretty mad.

    And then I watched the VMAs that night, and saw it again, and it made me mad all over again, and compeltely like ::Ranting:

    And by the next day I didn't even care anymore. It's like...completely old news and I'm bored of hearing about it.

    Well, I'm bored of hearing about the actual thing in like, an angry 'how could he do that?!' way. I will admit, I'm loving the spoofs. All of those pictures with Kanya photoshopped onto a certain picture one upping it in some way? Yeah, I think it's hilarious.

    I just became vegan after being a vegetarian for over a year. So far, it's going great.

    I become a vegetarian because of how the animals are treated, and because I finally realized that the animals do not have to die for my taste buds. I did tons of research into vegetarian nutrition to be sure I can be perfectly healthy on a vegetarian diet.

    I'd wanted to become vegan for a while, but I was originally going to wait until I was eighteen, so there weren't any parental conflicts with my views. My Internet friend gave me the final push, however, and I became a vegan about a month ago.

    I've always been into helping animals. It started with a forum called the Hermit Crab Association. They introduced me to animal welfare activism. Then, I joined a guinea pig site, and on there was a link to a video that showed exactly what happens to most farm animals. That is when I initially decided that I must go vegetarian one day. Ever since, I've been into animal rights and have even created an animal rights forum.
