different lifestile

Homo sexuality and marriage
What is the first question that someone will probably ask a person who is against homosexual marriages? How does it affect you? Most people say as long as they don’t disrupt there lives it is fine what those people do. It is their life.
Here is my take. We have been witness of how many bad things have happened when man tries to make his own path to walk on. Nothing happens in the first years, but it always finishes bad for someone.
For example, for a long time, slavery was permitted around the world. Perhaps, people were suffering in silence. There came a time where people got tired, and they slowly gained there freedom.
I can tell you about more stories like that but this will suffice.
All of us must learn what are our abilities and disabilities. A lot of people say that gay people did not choose to be that way. None of us chose to be born the way we were.
I know they are in pain but so are other people. As a blind person, I cannot drive. This hurts me. I need to ask around to see if someone is willing to take me where I need to go.
We must learn how to suffer because with out it, we would not know many things. Without it, we would become ungrateful. People have to try to accept who they are.
Marriage is more than a union between two people. Marriage is a bond, a spiritual union; it is becoming one with the other person.
In homosexual marriages, this cannot happen because they are two people of the same gender. How is that union going to take place?
It cannot because of the many challenges. Our creator designed our bodies with a specific purpose. It does not matter if you are an atheist or a person who believes in a higher being, or if you are a religious person. Marriages are something sacred, and we cannot change things around just so we can fit them to please / satisfy our needs and wants.
Later on, it is going to be seen as normal seeing two men or women going places and not be criticized, by anyone because everyone will accept there lifestyle. Children will be taught to respect one another. That I agree with. Just because I do not accept gay people getting married does not mean that I don’t respect them and would be willing to help them if I could do it. If schools are teaching kids about homosexuality and that is OK, then they should begin to teach them about bullying, people with disabilities, finances, and discipline.
We still have a long way to walk, but it is the wrong way. Unfortunately, our priorities are set wrong. He who follows him will have everlasting life. He is the way, the truth, and the life.
We are as blind people in a dark room. He who is watching us is able to see, he sent his son to guide us. A lot of people have rejected him for so long. The Holy Spirit is like a flashlight, guiding us.
Knowing that we have made so many mistakes and that we have tripped over and over, why do we follow this rode?

rebel

Now it is Arizona. They have come up with a law that if they see someone who looks illegal, they will arrest him or her. My question is How would they know? People now have to keep their papers with them at all times? then there is that thing of people not coming to Arizona for anything. Good job governer! Now, the only other law that you have to sign is anyone who is blind cannot get out their houses. Just as this last made up law by me is ridiculous, so is the sb 1070. If the link does not work, type sb 1070 on a search box such as google's search, and you will get the link.

I cannot believe it.

I cannot believe what is going on. California has passed a budget. This budget has about 1000000 dollars in cuts that affect programs such as the department of vocational rehabilitation, which helps blind people go to school and get a job, Programs for seniors, which maintain them occupied and provide medical services. Children services are also being cut. More class rooms are being filled with students which affect them because they do not get individualized attention that they need to succeed. We have been living in a society where the rich don’t want to lose anything, and they want the vulnerable to pay for things when they go wrong. People with money or power don’t want to help when the situation is going bad. I view California as a big family where each member has problems. Either they have problems with others, or with money. But, we are two stubborn to ask for help. On the other hand, we have people who have been blessed with money, but they become selfish with it. We need help. All we want is a won sent increase, but some people don’t want that. They prefer that other people suffer. They don’t care if the most vulnerable people pay the consequences. Before I get to them, let me just say that on the other hand, we have to pay too many taxes. For example, we will have to pay a 13 sent tax on gasoline. Also, we will have to borrow 1000000 dollars if I am not wrong. OK, what are the consequences? They are very catastrophic. Disabled people will not be able to achieve their goals, children will fall behind in their education, our elderly friends will dye, and people from all three groups will also dye because they did not get cared for the way that they were supposed to. Let me tell you another analogy. Let’s pretend that all California was in the ocean. Then, All of a sudden, those whom our vulnerable, began to sink. Only those that could swim were having fun. They saw that a lot of people were sinking, but they did not do anything. They said, “We don’t know why we need to bring those people with us. They interrupt our fun time.” They don’t do anything to help them. They preferred to let children and others with special needs dye. They preferred to let those that taught them about love, honesty, and respect dye. These were also the people who took care of them when they were sick, hungry, and penniless. These under privileged people gave it all to save them. Also, some of these people went to war for them. They risked their lives, so these wealthy people could stay alive and keep their freedom and fortune. This is how these rich people, and the people in power pay them? They take away services, and meanwhile, they still have a lot of money? These teachers, doctors, and others have spent countless hours with these people and their kids helping them. They lost so much sleep to fine ways to improve themselves, so these ungrateful people could be happy with them. However, they are not. One last thing I have to say is what go's around comes around.

fixing a problem

I found a letter in the LA times that proposed two solutions so our government could fix the economic problems. I will discuss the first one which is to raise taxes. According to the writer, “if we want good schools, a decent infrastructure, healthcare,
Libraries, law enforcement, youth programs and other services that make for a livable, thriving society, we have to pay for them.” He also states that this is going to require some sacrifices, but the challenges that are ahead of us are big and, “will not be solved on the cheap.”
I agree with the author. I think this argument has strength because some if not most of the things that we buy, are unnecessary. For Example, big TV’s, alcohol, and cigarettes. Some could say that this is not going to help or if it does, it is not going to be enough. I think that something is better than nothing.

troubled kids

Troubled kids
What happens when parents don't spend time with their children because of their work? Sometimes, everything goes well. For example, as a child, I used to be very close to my parents even though they worked 10 hours a day. I know several people that have also enjoyed the moments that they shared with their parents. However, not everyone has these moments. Children become sad, become involved in gangs, and become thieves as a result of their parents not spending time with them.
John for example, was a depressed boy because he did not do well in school. He needed his parents to help him with his homework, but his parents were always working. They also do not have time to play with him. Parents like John’s, do not play with their kids because they are too tired. If the kids want to talk to them or simply want to give them a hug and a kiss, they tell them to go away. I have seen many cases where one of the parents for example the dad, will go in the house and one of their children would come and try to give him a hug. The dad would say,” I just came from work and here you are bothering me! Go away and play somewhere else." The kid wants to run to another adult but he cannot because know one is around. After hearing this, the child says to himself "why does he treat me that way?" after the kid has tried to give him a hug a couple of times, the dad gets tired and starts hitting his child. The little boy walks out with tears streaming down his face.
Another thing that happens is that the boy, who has been rejected many times, goes outside to find friends, which can be very difficult. some people have a hard time expressing how they feel to other people but after they open up, they feel in a better disposition to talk about their problems. The kid's friends begin to tell him to do a few things, such as killing people, yelling back at his parents, and escaping from school. After he has completed this, he is officially part of the gang. He thinks that the group of friends that he has made always listen to him and don't yell whenever he does something wrong. However, he also becomes angry and starts bullying some of his classmates.
Finally, some kids do not have money to buy the things that they want. as a result of children not having money, they begin to steal. I knew a few kids who would walk in to a store and steal a piece of gum or another small item. I remember one day when I was in a store and I took a pack of rechargeable batteries. My parents found out after we were outside. Eventually, they maid me return the batteries. I was lucky because the store alarm did not go off. Because of this experience, I never did this again. Somehow, some kids get away with stealing. In the case of these kids, I knew that they were doing this a few times every month but, they Started to do it every week because they were enjoying it so much. Consequently, the police came and had a talk with them. After they had learned their lesson, they never stole anything. Some kids will not go into a store and take something that does not belong to them. I know people who would open their mom's Purse and steal one dollar and then they would go to the store and buy whatever they wanted. These people also got caught. I have heard cases where after a lot of practice, these people become masters in doing this and begin to steal TVS, cars, and computers but As soon as they get caught, they are put into jail. For instance, a man named Rick had been stealing these items for four years. Now, he has to spend 10 years in prison. If Rick’s parents had put some hours aside to teach him that stealing was wrong, instead of being inundated with their work, Rick would have been a better person.
Parents are sometimes responsible for the things that their children have done. These adults are gone for hours and when they come back home, they do not talk to their children. It is not the quantity of time that parents spend with their children that counts! The important thing is the quality of time that they give their children. Parents have to remember that once they are home,
They have to forget their problems and talk to their children. If people start to dedicate themselves to their kids, sadness, dealing with gangs, and stealing will be things that will be left behind.
