London Protests

For those who want a good idea about what happened in London, I found this article that gives a good overview of what happened and a video.

What I found interesting was the fact that only a minority of people were causing destruction, and a portion were supposedly criminals (according to the article, I need to research a bit more before I can definitely say this) who used the cover of the protest to harm police officers.

It is amazing how so many people can come together to show what they believe in, and yet some people take advantage and use it as an opportunity to do harm to others.

I hope those who are harming others are stopped, and I hope that the people get the change that they need. If that many people protested and the government doesn’t respond, I’m afraid of what might happen next.

A woman makes her own social science experiment. First, while very plain looking, she asked for free cake, and free taxi rides. She was rejected on every request but one. Then she got fully made up with heels, make up, and a revealing dress. She basically has everything thrown at her for free.

I wonder if she acted exactly the same throughout the experiment b/c in the video she did some things differently as her “sexy” self. But the idea is pretty much the same, “sexy” women get what they want…how interesting

Watching videos like these, then looking on facebook and seeing nothing about it makes me wonder about my generation a bit…I know it’s not really RIGHT, but I think we need to go through some sort of tribulation too. Our generation is too content in being only concerned with bands, drama, and television series. We need something to happen before we turn into Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World society…
