The soccer World Cup…good, or bad?
May 13, 2010
The world cup is being hosted in the country of South Africa. The thing is…this $137 million is a waste of money. Oh yea… how bout’ they take a look at the main portion of the population of their country!
In 2009 it was estimated that 5.7 million people are living and coping with HIV & AIDS. In a 2008 statistic the number of people who died of HIV and AIDS was around 250,000!
(and this was updated on March 28 2010) the number of people living on less than $2 a day is 660 million! And the number of people that are living on less than $1 per day is 385 million!

Iran…not very unified
May 6, 2010
The people of Iran are not all for nuclear weapons or things like that. Some are just wanting peace and freedom. Most people desire freedom but the government obviously does not.
For a long time Iran has been shut off from the rest of the world, but not now. The Internet has linked the citizens of Iran to America and other countries. It has also created new ideas of freedom and justice.
The internet has changed people’s view of Iran’s citizens. Although the people are and have been fighting for their rights the regime has relentlessly ruled. I think that something must be done to free these people.
