My Opinion on News Media

So I was going to originally post something about social media. But I decided to change it to another kind of media, the news; my opinions on the recent George Zimmerman trial, my feelings about it, and whether I think they were right or wrong.

Actually.... I have no opinion. In fact I know almost nothing about it except some guy killed a minority. I am well educated enough at this time in my life to where I am already aware of crap like this happening all the time. It's a sad truth. I mean yeah, people die every day. It happens. Something I've learned is you can't get overwhelmed about it. I'm also aware sometimes people can be innocent. So whatever the case with George Zimmerman is, I guess I just don't feel that I need to know.

Some people following up news stories is their hobby and that's okay. But to me I feel like it makes people edgy. I think the reason why there's so much labeling upon others is because there isn't much trust towards other people because of how much we hear about horrible things happening. And quite honestly, I don't like feeling worried, mad, depressed or any of those feelings. It seems like that's all news does to me. They say "we just want to show what people want to watch" but I have to disagree. If they showed more happy stuff, like praising charitable people more often I'd watch news more. The only reason people want to see negative stuff on the news is because of how long its been shown to us. Its what we grew to want to watch on the news... So why can't they help us grow out of it?

In all honesty the only time I really want to know about something bad is if its a major event, like a war upcoming.

Sure if something tragic happened to me I'd talk about it, but I'd talk about it personally with my own personal friends and acquaintances.

This Land is OUR Land

Well yesterday was my little sisters graduation!
There was something interesting that happened. A Hispanic girl spoke, thats not the weird part. The first thing I heard was from a man behind me who said something along the lines of "Damn minority is speaking." Well the next thing was she started out in Spanish... Whispers of unhappiness was heard in the audience. I at first didn't even think about it. The guy behind me "this is really pissing me off." I almost turned around and told him off. I heard people were saying the typical "this is America" but the fact of the matter is... We don't have a national language, and chances are you probably can't spell very well either. The girl spoke in English too as translation. In my head I was thinking you go girl. Normally I wouldn't have but I had just realized, that was incredibly brave.
America is made up of freedom and immigrants. You can't assume everyone who is Hispanic is an illegal immigrant stealing your job. They have just as much of a right here as you do... In fact their heritage is more native to America than most white people.
Honestly I just don't like coming to the town I went to high school in anymore. People are so quick to think things without having much reference beside their life experience which isn't much outside other equally narrow-minded area's. Then they talk about wanting to travel to other places. But quite frankly, I think they would be treated just as poorly because they don't have the social skills they think they do have. This world was given to us by God. This land is God made. The rules was man made, and don't you dare say "but this is what God wants, because YOU ARE NOT GOD! You don't know what he wants. I believe God exists, I believe in Jesus, and I believe I will go to heaven just as much as these "Damn minorities."
This isn't even about "stupid politically correct people." Cause I say screw politically correctness too. Its about understanding facts and not being a total jerk. And you aren't the only person on the planet either, everyone's equal.
And lastly to those people who are SO upset about this. I apologize you find something so small to be such a big deal that you are upset.
