Racist Town

Most people know that Missouri is a racist town so it didn't surprise me to hear that people are outraged because the boy who burned a black teen is white and he is not being charged appropriately. It is said that he is being treated differently than a black teen would have been treated, had a black teen set a white one on fire. This is the story.

A 15-year-old Poplar Bluff, MO boy has been hospitalized after he was doused with gasoline and set on fire, according to police.

A 16-year-old boy is accused of squirting gasoline on Walter Currie Jr. and lighting the fire. The boy is being charged as a juvenile with first-degree assault and is being held in the Butler Ripley County Juvenile Authority and Detention Center.

The Poplar Bluff police said the victim was standing with some friends Saturday when two boys with whom Walter was feuding came up to him. One of the two boys squirted Walter with a squeeze bottle filled with gasoline, then ignited it with a lighter.

Walter, the teen was was set on fire is in good condition at a St. Louis-area hospital with burns to his chest, stomach and arms.

I hate that teens are so violent now. I also hate the fact that it seems we are losing the battle to save them.

Okay I am in love with this silly show. I guess you can officially diagnose me as a Reality TV Whore. Outside of CSI - New York & Miami and the Law and Order shows- nothing else can hold my interest lately. Just medicate me please........I need treatment.

Rather Get Her CD

I would never pay $250.00 to see a singer. To me that is so wasteful. I would pay it to meet Barack but not Beyonce. I heard tickets sales for her intimate sessions in Vegas start at $250.00 up to $1000 plus. Heck if I want to hear her music intimately I can pop in a Cd in my car. I mean she is an excellent performer but I rather spend that kind of money on me. After all she made 80 million dollars last year and probably will exceed that this year. Wow, maybe she should give some free concerts rather than try to make another dollar off people into her music.

How Dare You?

Yep I need a break. I received an urgent call Friday. The person ended up asking me to help pay for an abortion. I must have gone totally off on the caller. Did I get your azz pregnant? Where is the guy? Why are you having unprotected sex? Why are you having sex at all? How dare you ask me for that kind of help? I don’t participate in that crap? Yep I said a curse word or two or probably more. See I was caught off guard.

It started when I received a call from my sister who said a young lady was trying to reach me and when she asked the person why they were crying, they wouldn’t say. She wouldn’t give my number out but asked the person for their number and told the caller I would call her back. I did call her and probably shocked her more than the pregnancy did. I guess I have always been so helpful and caring, but this shook my goose. Don’t ask me for help like this? I mean wanting me to pay for the abortion. Plus this is a person who sat in five sessions,I and several experts taught about teen pregnancy, abstinence and prevention of diseases, etc. This person is 20 now. It is time for these teenagers to start thinking how bad decisions will affect their lives.

I don’t do abortion. If you are raped, I would refer you to victim services and they would help you. Please don’t ask me to right a wrong you did especially when I told you this would happen when you lay down with guys unprotected. Well, she did find someone to help her.

I love teens and will help them with problems but this one was out of my boundary.
