Sex Offenders

Do we give these sex offenders a second chance?

Maybe they do have some kind of crazy mental problem and they can't help it, but that doesn't give them an excuse. If I were the president I would give them death penalties but since I'm not and well Presidents just happen to be so forgiving when it comes to sex offenders I guess the only thing I can do is to sit back and watch on the news sexually abused children grow by daily.
But what if it was you? What if it was your child? What if it was your sister and your best friend?
Will you still sit back and talk shit about defending the rights of sex offenders who BY THE WAY have already had their second chance? Some might say well, what if you were the wife, the mother, or the friend of the sex offender? Would you still give them such a big penalty?

If you're asking me, I say YES! If my friend or my whoever commited such a crime that affected an innocent child and their whole family and made their life miserable, then I say we must take these consequences.

Obama for a change!

It's definitely change, alright.
I like Obama, maybe its his looks or his strength in his voice or his ideology.
And even if his policies work against Korea (we're all wailing over here) I like Obama.
But I'm beginning to think is the United States simply becoming globalized?

Or is it the start of losing its identity?

The biggest free riders ever!

I recently had an english class that required a group presentation of 4 and I happened to be the leader. People who know me, I am definitely not the leader type. When someone tells me what to do, I am very attentive to what they say and do EXACTLY what they tell me to do, but I'm not the sort of person who orders people around and tell them what to do.

What I've noticed with these (some) Korean kids: They are the biggest and best free riders ever. They cannot do anything that involves dividing. Maybe that's why Koreans can't dutch pay. At first it looked like everything was going fine: although there was one Chinese dude who could not speak english or korean. But then I soon realized everything was falling apart. Just because people thought that I could speak english, they came up with this weird psychology that I would do everything for the project. We were 4, actually 3 we have to exclude the dude everytime it comes to division of labor. So I divided it into 3 equal jobs and gave it to the two others. One day we gathered to show each other our work, and one did not do their work that well. I mean this guy didn't know the difference between "is" and "it". Now, the two of them were complaining that I should make the script and PPT for them. And when I said "You should write your own although I can help you with it" they got absolutely insane and mad and screamed "Then what the hell are you doing for the presentation?!?!"
It just struck me I couldn't say anything. Uh, Hello? I did my one third of share? and I even offered to help?

I'm a bad leader. a Terrible one.
So I'm sitting now on my computer making a user guide (which won't fucking print without getting the edges cut off) and an outline and finalizing a script and a powerpoint presentation all by myself and NO ONE knows that I'm doing all this. My team members? I texted them and I have no idea what they're doing. In fact I think one of them is out there partying.
