Don't Stand for Homophobic Bullying.
I liked the little movie clip thing. I thought it was cute. Personally, i think we could all learn something from it. Bullying people people because they don't like the same things you like, or because they're gay isn't right. People shouldn't be bullied for being who they really are. A few of my best friends are gay, and i absolutely love them. And if I saw someone being mean to them because of it, it'd make me really sad. And I'd definitely do whatever I could to like stand up for them. And the way that they like, solved the problem was peaceful, like it wasn't violent or anything, which is good. Using violence to stop violence, just causes more violence, obviously.

Libya
In Libya right now, protests are going on to try and get rid of their leader, Muammar el-Qaddafi. He doesn't like the fact that his people are trying to throw him out. I mean, who would like that, right? But anyway. The protests have gotten like extremely violent. It turns out that some of the people who used to be on Qaddafi's side, have actually turned against him, and that set him off even more. The United States has actually gone to Libya to try to help, but Qaddafi won't have it. He feels that foreigners or outside help has no business interfering with North African affairs. The protests in Libya started because Libya's neighbors, Egypt and Tunisia, had protests and they got their leaders out, so Libya started theirs, but theirs didn't end up quite as well as Egypt and Tunisia's did.
I think that this whole thing has gone a little too far. I don't think it had to get so violent over there. If I was Qaddafi, I'd just like, step down. Obviously his people don't like or want him as a leader, so why lead a place where everyone doesn't like you? That just doesn't make sense, to me at least.
