Troops Overseas

Do you think the troops should still be overseas fighting this war??? In my opinion i don't think they should. My dad is in the air national guard. He has been sent overseas three times, and if they continue to stay over there he will probably have to go over again. Going through this is the hardest thing to do.  I still remember the first time he went over seas it was miserable we could only talk to him for 5 mins a piece and if we werent home when he called then we didn't get to talk to him for that week. The second time he went over we missed Thanksgiving, Christmas and new years. It was so hard not having your dad there for the most important holidays of the year. Having you dad or husband overseas is terrible and they miss so much in each others life's. For example they miss maybe the birth of their first child and there first steps. At least now they have set up web cams and they don't have to miss as much. I think that we should have never entered this war in the first place. It was just a battle that can never be won we are just going back and forth and it seems like every time they say we are going to pull out it never happens.

On Facebook, Biggest Threat to Your Private Data May Be You

This article is very convincing and has some great arguments about why facebook is getting worse and worse. In my opinion facebook should be a place where people can connect with there peers from high school. After high school you lose touch with some of your friends, but facebook helps you keep in touch with most of them. I do agree on how people put way to much out there about themselves. People don't wanna know what you had for breakfast or when you have to leave your house.  This just give people that you don't know the right to stalk you. If you don't want people getting into your personal life then don't put it on the Internet. But, facebook is still a great way to keep in touch with old friends. You have to draw a line somewhere when it comes to adding friends though. You cant just add every one that sends you a friend request. So in conclusion i think that facebook can be a good thing but it cant also be a bad thing. You have to know where you draw the line and figure out what you need to keep private and what you want to share on facebook.

Work!

I work at the East Peoria Kohl's, and to me it seems like they don't have enough people on the floor at night. They expect us to do everything when there isn't enough time to get it all done. I work in Ms. Jr. and Men's, there are five sections that needed to be folded at night. They expect three of us to do all five sections and then turn around and run our fitting rooms, and they want it done all in four hours. Really its less then four hours because then we have a fifteen minute break too. On days that we are slow i think that three people can handle it, but on days that we are busy they need to at least have four people on the floor and one on fitting rooms. Another thing about work that i don't like is that we have to push credits.  I feel bad asking people to sign up for a credit card when you know that they cant get one or don't have the ability to pay for it. Sometimes if i see a person and i don't think they can afford it i wont ask, even though we are suppose to ask everyone that comes through the line. I feel like they expect us to do way to much, for way to little. Which brings up the question of should they hire minimum wage or should they just keep it where its at. In my opinion i think they should. With everything like gas prices and the price of living going up there is no way a person in college working a part time job can afford to pay for a car gas and there phone without having to ask for help from someone.
