Red Kettle Collection.

The gay commuity is urging holiday shoppers not to donate to the Red Cross's Kettle Drive this year, citing that they are against the LGBT. The church itself is being accused of not supporting all those in need. If you are gay the Red Cross will not help you unless you renounce your gayness and leave your partner. That is what some gay and lesbians are saying about the charity. The charity denies the accusations stating that it doesn't matter your sexual oreintation they will help those in need that fall within the guidelines for help. Lt. Col. Ralph Bukiewicz says that nothing could be further from the truth. Despite all of this flying around the charity still raises a good portion of the money that they use for charity from the red kettle collection drive.
This is completly silly why on earth would a charity care if you are gay. Why would you tell them if you were anyway they don't care weather your gay or not they just want to help those in need. I know from experience that they don't discriminate against the gay community as a whole, I have volouteered for the red cross for years and they just want to help. They don't care if you are gay straight or curly. I just don't understand some people today it feels like they are just out to find a conspiricy of some kind to stir up some trouble. But even if one person in the charity felt like that, that doesn't mean that the charitiy as a whole is all the same.

College Hazing.

College hazing has been around for decades and nine times out of ten it ends up being just fun and games. However sometimes it ends in death. Just ask the family of college junior Robert Champion who's death this past year because of hazing. The 26 year old band major for A&M's Marching 100 in Florida's death was considered an act of hazing. The leader of the band a tenured professer, Julian White, had just suspended 26 students two weeks before Champion's death because of hazing. He knew it was a problem and tried to be the person to fix it. But the life of Champion was still lost. White was let go from the college because of the tragity as well.
I don't thing that the leader of the band was letting the students haze one another, he did make a giant effort to stop it by suspending the students in the weeks before the death of Champion. I don't understand why people don't stop and think before they act, if there is even a remote chance that something bad may happen why do it? I don't think that some people use they're brains. I am very sorry for the loss of a great musician. Maybe in the future the people involved might think a little longer before they act.

Arsenic anyone?

They have found very high levels of arsenic in the normal juice we drink eveyday the same kind we give our children. The levels in some apple and grape juices is much higher than the standard set for drinking water, (which is 10 parts per billion) it exceeds this amount by more than 10%. Study's have shown that higher levels of arsenic in a persons body can make them more at risk for cancer and other chronic disieses. The study done by Dr. Mehmet Oz is based on organic and inorganic arsenic meaning they didn't take in to account that maybe the organic arsenic may not have bad effects on humans. It however did show bad results in chickens when they ate the feed that had organic arsenic in it.
I don't know about anyone else but I have been drinking the same juice for years and I have been doing a lot of things that they say may one day give me cancer or take away my body's ability to fight a chronic desies. I am not going to stop drinking juice just to take away some minute chance that in a decade I might get cancer. Who is to say if I did that I still wouldn't get cancer? There are too many health benfits to drinking the juice than for not drinking the juice. I will not stop doing something every time someone tells me its bad. Before you know it you won't be able to eat anything at all if we listened to these tests.
