A movie by the name of 8: The Morman Proposition came out at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival exposing the Morman Church’s involvement in proposition 8. The film observes the way in which the church brainwashes its members into mixing politics and church. The film being premiered just 25 miles away from the church head quarters has become extremely controversial and has already generated protests by members of the church. Fortunately despite the huge controversy of the film it was still shown at the festival.
The film investigated and exposed the many ways the church was working for and funding prop 8. The Morman church had provided roughly 75% of the campaign funds and 71% of the campaign volunteers were Mormons. However this is not the first time the Morman church has campaigned against human rights, until the early 1960’s the Mormons had preached that the only way to get into heaven if you were black was through slavery. Brigham Young and leaders of the church had publically spoke for segregation and against progress, fortunately an elder in the church eventually denounced racism and accepted blacks into their church as “equals” . Women in the church also can only hold 2 official positions, both of which have nothing to do with faith or religion. The fact of the matter is that the Morman Religion teaches great morals to do with family and love; however the church itself has become a behemoth of hate and ignorance sticking its nose where it doesn’t belong, in politics.
The gay rights movement is the civil rights movement of our era, and like the civil rights movement there are many road blocks that are trying to prevent change, the Morman church is one of these roadblocks. The Morman church is an organization that follows corrupt leaders that campaign against progress, progress that wouldn’t affect them in the least, the ideals taught by the Morman church are pure, family and love, but the Church stands for much more than that; ignorance, bigotry and hate name a few. The fact of the matter is that the Morman church is a rabid dog that is trying to prevent society from reaching it’s destine goal for progress, and it either needs to be cured of its sickness, or put down.

Have you ever woken up and thought 'what is my purpose?' If you haven't, consider yourself lucky.

hate
Yesterday i was wearing a shirt that displayed liberal ideas, then another person that had extremely conservative ideas approached me. I knew him but usually did not converse with him, and he said to me "I hate liberals." So I tried to talk but whenever I did he would cut me off. When I finally was able to get a word in I said "I disagree with you, however I do not hate you and if you would like to have an intelligent discussion I will engage with you, however if you simply keep on insulting me I will not have any respect for you." First: there is a difference between disagreeing with someone and hating someone and if you do hate someone because they have different views than you you are no better than Hitler himself. Second: I am extremely liberal, however I do not hate anyone because they are consevative, maybe if they're rude, mean, or even just a jackass i will hate them but if you have a different political standing from me I won't hate you. Third: I have heard people say things like "I hope Obama gets murdered," and things of that nature very often, first wow... just wow, and second: if McCain would have won the election I would have been very dissapointed, but I would not of wished death upon him, I would want him to simply fix my country. So I leave you with this thought have you ever hated someone because they disagree with you, and if you have did you hate them because they disagreed with you or because you didn't understand their philosophy?

Ignorance in todays youth
Ignorance, it seems to be a plague on today's youth, I should know I'm one of them. It seems to me that many of today's youth use not good grammar, and if you do use good grammar, or make it sound like you know what your talking about you'll get made fun of or considered a loser,nerd,etc. etc. it sickens me that people refuse to sound intelligent and somehow that makes you cool. Modern day youth also seem to have ignorant ideals ranging from racism, sexism, and even frankly stupid ideas (such as all liberals are gay). I find it absolutely astounding that America is filled with these ignorant fools that do not care about fellow man and do not want to even try to strive for more than mediocrity, this is not the America I am proud of and it is not the America I want to live in. Ignorance is not bliss, it is stupidity, selfishness, and dangerous

art

What is art? Well the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionarty defines it as "the conscious use of skill and creative imagination especially in the production of aesthetic objects."but, is that what art really is, or, is it more than that? Personally, I believe that the word "art" is practically useless because every one has their own definition, I think it is personal expression that can evoke human emotion. The definition of art is so broad that almost anything can be "art". But, are all paintings art, is all music art. Art cannot be defined because art is the undefineable, what you believe is art is a journey you must take alone, no one can tell you what is or isn't art because everyone sees things differantly.
