End of the World is BS (Mayan Edition)

Guess what? The end of the world isn't going to happen! The Mayan calender doesn't predict the end of the world this year! It only says that this year a new cycle will start!

SourceFed does a great job at telling the facts!

Still don't know about CISPA? Here are some people in dino costumes to explain it to you!

Note: I haven't kept up with the CISPA news. The reason being I've been sick for the majority of this week.

Literary Cesnorship By A Surprising Source

I am against the censorship of anything, especially classic pieces of literature. Pieces that are usually censored because people misunderstand the book's point.

I took the books below from THIS LIST:
Books have been banned because of people thinking that children will become unable to tell the difference between fantasy and reality (Bridge to Terabithia and Harry Potter series). Also because of profanity (The Color Purple and To Kill a Mockingbird).

But I'm not making this post about another book being banned. It's the fact that PayPal is now censoring where it takes money from. PayPal is supposed to be NEUTRAL. Their whole point is the transfer of money.

I agree that their idea of removing 'bad things' is a good goal. But it doesn't work in reality. As classic literature does have incest, rape, ect. but the books give a message. In which one or more unlikable things becomes necessary to tell the story.

Mind you, I'm not talking smut. I believe it shouldn't be censored, but it is NOT EVEN REMOTELY CLOSE to classic literature. 'Cause, you know, it's smut.

Is College Neccesary?

First off, being educated is a must. I don't want idiots walking around. But do you have to go to college/university to stop being an idiot and get a good paying job?

Here's the funny thing: Most college graduates don't have jobs and are in debt. Serious debt from Student Loans.

I graduated from college with an English Degree in Creative Writing from Saint Leo, University (in 2009). Luckily I didn't have to take out any student loans because my parents had money stored up for me to use for college. However, I went to a community college my final semester because the money was running VERY low (I only had to do electives so I didn't need to take them at Saint Leo, had the credits transferred).

So with these facts: Going to college would not help ANYONE that's having financial trouble. Even if you do graduate, there will still be debt.

Of course, depending on your degree you may have a better chance of getting a good job.

If you're wondering: I've been job hunting for two years. You may now commence Jobless English Major jokes.
