Afirimitive action, use another excuse!

What is affirmative action first off? The term is used to describe policies aimed at a historically socio-politically non-dominant group (typically, minority men or women of all racial groups) intended to promote its access to education or employment. Screw that it is absurd to say that anyone can still be feeling effects of something that happened over 50yrs. Or more ago. I am considered a minority but allowing affirmative action is just an excuse for someone saying, “Hey I don’t want to work as hard as the other person” or “I just want the easy way.” To believe that this politically just or correct is absurd. Think about it when applying to college a person gets a few extra points just for being a certain race, uh, uh, nope, not me. I don’t need anyone’s help and neither does anyone else. If you work hard enough and want it badly enough and are willing to do what is necessary to get it then you have no excuses and no need for affirmative action. The fact that someone would even give that to me is an insult, you might as well just say that I am lesser than that person and therefore need an extra hand. How can you gain points like that just being a certain race, well what then a white good worker gets passed up for the black who did jack in school, somehow that just doesn’t add up in my head right. Shouldn’t people be judged solely on the basis of their works and academic achievements? Bottom line don’t give the lazy a reason to be lazy, look at the people that are pro affirmative action, yeah exactly the lazy who just want an easy way into what others work hard for. Do what you got to do and stop looking for an easy way out of you being an IDIOT!!!!

Politics

Economy, what is going on in this world that so many people are suffering? I think that a large percent of why we are in such a bad situation right now is mainly because of the wars we just got ourselves into. Our economy was already struggling before we even got into the wars but then we go and sink a few more billion dollars into a war that is going to produce how much in returns for us?!!!! None, nothing, no returns, in all actuality long term debt and losses. Granted I hate to see others suffering but one thing before anything else with me is that I take care of the people around me i.e. family, friends. That is what our government should have been doing, not investing in wars, or weapons, or monetary aid, but in aid for its own people who are suffering and feeling the reprocautions of this war. God knows the people up top aren't feeling shit and therefore do not care. Politics is bull I just watched commercials of John McCain and Barack Obama where both say that the other does not support finding new fueling sources etc. The commercials sounded exactly alike, only they changed the names. Okay here's a thought instead of bashing the other person take a step up and come out with a commercial saying "Hey I Barack I am going to be implementing x amount of dollars for alternative energies and x amount for this." instead of just bashing each other which is doing no real good cause regardless people are going to think what they want.
