drugs and diseases are related to what we've talked about.

i think its amazing how many people are on drugs and dont want to better themselves. even though they say the drug controls their systems and they can't help it, if someone really wants to change, they would get help. also, if they dont want to get hooked on drugs, they shouldn't have tried it in the first place. (even if they 'sadly' get addicted the first time). people should know right from wrong and if their friends are making them do it, they are not real friends and that person needs to know that! if they dont want rehab or to get better, that is a shame because that person lacks so much pride and self respect, they lost themselves. i just dont understand how someone could let themselves go like that.

about the disease thing...it's disgusting that so many people now days have an STD. back then, sex was not as open as it is now days. everyone talks about it and everyone does it and is more open about it. its said that 3 out of 4 kids in deschutes county have chlymedia. that is gross and shameful. if kids chose to have premarital sex, they should at least do it with a condom. i think that is God's punishment for people who deserve it, you can't get rid of it.

I think it sucks that MLKJ sucks up to the clergy, even thought he is one himself. We shouldn't descrimante against other people or judge everyone, we should all be treated equal. I thought it was really cool that MLKJ was patient with the whole ordeal. He didn't go burning down buildings or shoot someone, he tried to get rid of segregation by simply doing it the politicial way; by holding speeches and talking in crowds in the streets. Nothing major, he could have done a bomb threat, but he knew that wouldn't get them anywhere. Overall I think MLKJ is a very classy man with a lot of self respect. We shouldn't be treated different no matter the sercumstances: black, white, woman, man, retarted, or smart; it really isn't necessary. If someone is mean to another person, they will get theirs later in this lifetime or the next.
