Here we go again, more deranged people on the cusp of pure insanity coming up from their permanent posts in the New York Subway System to share their beliefs on the news. I just don't understand why these people can't take a seat and stop acting like they know when the end of the world is. They claim to be Christians but if they were truly Christians they would certainly know the scriptures Matthew 24:36, Mark 13:32, and Acts 1:7 all which state that NO MAN (or woman) knows the day, time, or even the year that The Lord will return and the earth as we know it will be no more.
It is very unfortunate that most people are so out of touch with their own religious beliefs that anyone could tell them anything and they'd follow along like a donkey to a carrot on a stick. THE WORLD IS NOT ENDING SATURDAY!! Stop believing these crazy folk! There is no reason this particular branch of "Christians" should be taken seriously anyway because their leader Harold Camping is a nut job. He predicted this date and time on Saturday but I wonder if any of his idiot follower understand that he said the same thing would happen in 1994. Clearly that did not come to pass so why the heck are they still following him? I haven't the slightest clue.
If you are really that concerned about the world ending maybe that means you need to do something to get your life in order. If you are doing wrong and making poor life decisions fix them, reconcile yourself with God, and make amends with people you've hurt. The when the time does actually come, you'll be ready. Enjoy your weekend ;)

HATE CRIME?
Well it's been a while guys, I've been buckling down on the books and taking finals like crazy. I've got two more to go but something caught my attention in the news yesterday and I just had to write about it and ask your thoughts on the situation.
McDonald's may be facing a lawsuit from a young Baltimore native named Chrissy Lee Polis after she was brutally beaten to the point she had a seizure and was pretty much left to fend for herself in a Baltimore McDonald's a short while ago. While being filmed by one of the employees of McDonald's (now an ex employee of course) the watcher of the video embarks on a journey. What starts out as normal garbage you may see in the streets of any neighborhood when girls get upset with each other quickly turns into an awful showcase of skills one would only deem appropriate in a WWE no way out cage match.
Stomping, punching, hair pulling and lots of profanity all thrown at Chrissy because she spoke to Teonna Brown's (one of the attackers) man. The only person in the entire place that attempted to stop the fight was a woman who looks upwards of sixty and as was expected also received some backlash by these awfulanimals? "people" with no home training. We later learn that one of the attackers was 14 and the other 18 year old Teonna, who seems to have a history with fighting and being arrested at McDonald's.....the same McDonald's to be exact.
As unfortunate as this story is another wrench was thrown into the mix because the two attackers are being charged with a hate crime. Now as much as I like to see justice served, I just don't see how this is a hate crime. Yes Chrissy is Caucasian, yes Chrissy is also transgender, but where in the three minutes of fighting and yelling do we hear any racial epithets or derogatory terms related to gender being thrown around? I didn't hear any at all.
If we are all supposed to be treated as equals no matter what our skin color, gender identity, or sexual preference then why is this being called a hate crime and not just HOT GHETTO MESS that needs to be treated as such? I would appreciate if someone could explain this to me because I'm very perplexed at the moment. Hopefully someone will counsel both Teonna and the 14 year old because there are clearly some issues as far as mental stability being aroused here, beating anyone into a seizure for speaking to someone is mortifyingly (yes I made that word up) ridiculous.
Don't take my word for it though, if you haven't seen it yet here it is...(FOR MATURE AUDIENCES ONLY)
