Those nights when the toilet becomes your best friend...
There are many facebook groups that I've come across that are stupid, demeaning, and even slightly sexist. However, I've just recently stumbled upon a facebook group that made me extremely concerned.
"30 reasons girls should call it a night" has over 180,000 members. Sounds harmless, right? Kind of seems to promote stopping drinking before things get out of hand? No, on this groups page are many, many, many pictures that the girls of the group have posted of themselves or other girls puking, passed out, or just being completely stupid after drinking too much. Most of the pictures are girls passed out in positions that are extremely inappropriate and I'm sure they wouldn't want their grandmother seeing them.
This group gave me a sense that girls are no longer embarrassed by the act of drinking too much. In fact I'm almost positive they do it because they believe it's funny. I'm a college girl, and due to that am surrounded by alcohol and binge drinking. Now, I'm not making a speech against drinking. I think drinking can be a great thing if done correctly. I grew up in a house where I was allowed to have wine at dinner and possibly a beer with my dad if I asked, my senior year. I was always taught to drink in moderation and ALWAYS with a meal. I meet girls every weekend, that binge drink every weekend! I meet girls that drink too much at party's and pass out in the bathrooms, which is dangerous and they don't even know it. Alcohol isn't the problem it's the irresponsibility of the drinkers, it's these kids lack of knowledge about drinking and about how to drink. Learning how to drink may sound stupid but most college kids go out drinking to get drunk, which is a main part of the problem.
I don't know how many times Ive had to hold back some strange girls' hair and find her a safe ride home. Yet, all I think about is those girls that didn't have someone to help them, the girls that got raped and were so drunk they wake up the next morning and don't remember a thing. Educating yourself about alcohol and how much you can handle is the safest route aside from abstaining from it all together. I believe girls now days are trying to keep up with the guys and then it's all down hill from there. There should be a class everyone should have to take in high school all about alcohol and alcohol awareness. Just because the drinking age is 21 doesn't mean drinking at 18 doesn't happen, the more educated you become the less of a danger alcohol is. The media is so obsessed with educating the youth about sex but have yet to really educate them on alcohol and drinking, which is has a more deathly result then unsafe sex.

R.I.P. means Rest In PEACE!
Ok, so what's so "christian" about disturbing people's funerals?
According to Cassy Fiano at Wizbang, the WestBoro Baptist Church is at it again. Now, if you aren't familiar with them I'll readers digest it for you.
WestBoro Baptist Church is an extreme Baptist community in Topeka, Kansas full of ill mannered, heartless people that IN NO WAY illustrate christian values or characteristics. The pastor of the WestBoro Baptist Church is Fred Phelps and he and his "gang" of fellow gay/lesbian, war hero hating, United States bashing lunatics are more known for their consistent protesting at soldiers funerals and gay/lesbian parades and funerals. Apparently every crime and injustice committed in the world is due to homosexuality according to them. To learn more about this crazy cult (http://www.godhatesfags.com/)... do I really need to say more with a URL like that?)
It sickens me that someone could think to protest at a funeral, any funeral, would make anything better in any situation. Regardless of what that person did in their life, it's just inhumane to disturb and ridicule people in mourning. Protesting at fallen soldiers funerals was bad enough, now they plan to protest at the memorial service of Brianna Denison. Brianna Denison was a young girl about my age who attended Santa Barbra College, was raped and strangled to death while sleeping on her friends couch in Reno, NV in Jan.
On the WBC's web site they have each event listed at which they will protest and in an explanation on why.
Hopefully the Patriot Guards riders, an amazing group of bikers who follow the horrible WBC and counter protest them, will attend Brianna's funeral service and comfort her already mourning family from the devilish cold hearts of the WBC.
Pray for Brianna and her family

Roe V. Wade 35th Anniversary...
Yup, Today is that day again. Many people will go through their day in regular routine and not once think about what this day means for even a second.
In 1973 the Supreme Court of the United States ruled that a woman has a constitutional right to an abortion during the first six months of pregnancy.Before the Court’s ruling, a majority of states prohibited abortion, although most allowed an exception when pregnancy threatened the woman’s life. The Court overturned these state prohibitions in Roe v. Wade. The Court ruled that states could restrict abortions only during the final three months of pregnancy, a stage when medical experts considered the fetus capable of “meaningful life” outside the womb.
Here's my question, who decides what's "meaningful life" and what isn't? Does a bum on the side of the road have a less meaningful life than me? Does a two year old baby have more meaning in life than an hour old baby?
Ms. Norma McCorvey (a.k.a. Jane Roe) thought the court should have that power back in 1973. She was 22, unmarried, pregnant, homeless, a drug addict and living on a park bench in Texas in 1969. She didn't know much about anything. But she ended up becoming the figurehead in the Supreme Court case that legalized abortion in America. However, in 1995 a Christian group moved into the office across the car park from Ms. McCorvey's abortion clinic. Over time, she came to accept their view, that abortion was not a woman's "fundamental right to choose," but the murder of an unborn child. She quit working in abortion clinics, gave up drugs and alcohol, converted to Catholicism, wrote a new book called "Won by Love" and established an anti-abortion group called "Roe No More."
My question to most people, after they hear what "Jane Roe" is up to now, is do you think the case should be overturned by the supreme court? Or is an amendment more efficient and more likely?
