Commenting on Kelci's Blog

I commented on Kelci's blog about Spring Break in Mexico. I feel that is it very dangerous right now in Mexico and even going to the border can be a big risk. It is scary to think that all of this is happening right below us and that is could possibly escalate into the US. If someone is planning on going to Mexico, they need to be extremely careful and not leave the compound that they are in. As I said in my comment on the blog, I do not believe that Mexico will be safe for a very long time just because people like the police are getting killed.

Dirty Little Secret

Hello my name is greek girl and I have a problem....I watched this season of ABC's The Bachelor. I usually hate that show, encouraging 25 women fight and back stab each other to win the love of a guy you have never met before. For some reason though, this season I thought it would be better, the bachelor, Jason, seemed like a really good almost perfect guy, single dad trying to raise his son and still have a fantastic career as an account executive. I was so happy when he also picked the perfect girl, Melissa. 

Then like the rest of America I was shocked when he told Melissa on the Final Rose special that he wanted to see other people and he still had feelings for the runner up who had ripped him to shreds on the season finale. I mean WHO DOES THAT?! Especially on National TV. He later said in interviews that he had to do it that way because ABC was making him and that Melissa knew before hand. Still couldn't he have waited like the other God knows how many Bachelor/Bachelorette couples and done it in private. I felt like he really let Melissa down, no girl would ever want to be broken up with on TV, but breaking off an engagement? He humiliated her in front of everyone in the United States, let alone her parents, friends, exes.

 I may be over reacting, but what does any one else think? Did he make the right decision by breaking it off on TV?

The Silent Treatment

I have always loved animals and my family has had 3 dogs, 2 cats, 2 turtles, 4 birds and 2 hamsters. Not all at the same time of course, but we are animal people. That is why I have never understood why people abuse their animals. What have they done to them? I believe that the government should start protecting these innocent victims.

Studies have shown to relate animal abuse to criminal behavior. According to the website Through Their Eyes: The National Animal Abuse Registry, quoted Boston's Northeastern University study that found 30% of convicted child molesters and 48% of convicted rapists abused animals when they were children. Animal abuse and cruelty was also practiced by 46% of murders. If the government is so persistent on increasing the punishment of rapists and child molesters, they should first tackle the issue of animal cruelty. This would take away a lot of the predators that are out there. 

How Much Is That Puppy In The Window?

We have all seen the puppies at the pet store; they are adorable, but something just doesn't seem right. It is because a majority of the puppies come from places called "Puppy Mills" a disgusting place where dogs are forced to breed in deplorable conditions. I firmly believe that the places should be shut down for good. 

The puppies that are born in these places are usually prone to deadly diseases and have physical deformities because of the filth that they are kept in. Such as rotten jaws and eye ulcers or even the loss of legs and paws. According to the website Prisoner's of Greed, 500,000 puppies are sold every year from pet stores to unsuspecting families who either end up losing the puppy or spend money to help make the puppy better.
