Twins fans are the biggest hypocrites.


                Twins fans are the biggest hypocrites. They don't think twice about dismaying Brandon Inge's missed call that would've brought in a run, but they go crazy when an umpire makes the wrong call on the foul line. It's  baseball umpires, they're always are prone to make bad calls eventually, do you know how many out of the zone strikes there were, at the game on Friday October 9th? The Twins still would've lost the game, and they still ended up losing the series, getting swept by the Yanks.

                Most Yankee haters arguments are nothing more than a glob of over generalizations.  They have no basis or facts supporting any of their arguments. So I'm going to set you and them straight.  In New York, Alex Rodriguez's use of steroids was all over the Tabloids and Nightly News and everyone was not happy about the situation, to say that there was no general outcry makes you or anyone sound ridiculous. 
And why can't we get an outcry when it turns out that the Red Sox, who surprisingly didn't show up on their very own George Mitchell's report, turns out they failed in the 2003 test, especially when David Ortiz came out of nowhere and destroyed what would've been another World Series in 2004 for the Yankees. Oh and a few more facts, Roger Clemens started using steroids in Toronto, as a Blue Jay, when Jose Canseco introduced them to him. It's funny how the test that both, Ortiz and Manny failed in 2003, Roger Clemens also took and didn't fail.  None the less, this was the last year we, being the New York Yankees, were in the World Series.  
                Major League Baseball is not always this fun league where you get to root toot toot for your favorite team and home-town heroes to win, it's a business, with paid professionals.  If the Yankee organization can make lots of money with there business, why not? I mean for God sakes, this country was built on a free market, so now you want to restrict a private business, because the people who run your team are too cheap to take risks? We, the Yankees have Chien-Ming Wang, and Hideki Matsui how is that dominating the Asian Market? Last time I checked, New York is the capital for news in the nation, but beyond that, how do the conspiracies that we dominate the news coverage.  Again, it's a business who cares if they sold out this so called "loyalty" so they could make a profit margin for a brand new facility that Stienbrenner basically funded out of his back pocket?  They have the right to sell tickets for however much they feel like, whether it's $3.00 or $10,000, it's their call.  It's just like asking why it costs more money to see a show at the Xcel Energy Center compared to seeing one at the Depot. All non Yankees fans choose to hate the team that is in fact, always on top, which most of the time, IS the New York Yankees.  If there was no money in it for anyone, then MLB wouldn't even exist.  It's not like people would spend millions and millions of dollars just because they love owning baseball teams. ...Just a little food for thought.

I am Caucasian...


   For starters, I feel like the article, "Blame the Students" article and the article "Two Million Minutes"both are somewhat biased. The argument about education in America and the lack of motivation many American's have. I can tell you this much, it's not the first time I've heard this argument. My daddy actually makes that observation pretty much every single time we talk about school. I found myself  getting quite irritated and annoyed, when I was reading.  Most likely because while reading, I would start to think about the words I saw on paper, and it made me realize that, that statement was one hundred percent correct.  It's so sad that many Americans are just having life handed top them on a silver platter, and are using their money to buy the intelligence.  These children barely have to even work anymore, or as hard.  The author kind of states that the only kids falling into this trap or category are while kids.  I am Caucasian, I work super hard in school, and I am a white/Caucasian girl,who get's great grades.I also remember when the Indian girl in the video said "American students have dream lives." I never really thought of it like that. They spend their lives studying and we spend our lives socializing. This sounds bad, almost like Americans' don't value education. I'm glad I don't have to study all the time.  I could neverr never never ever, do that! Just watch...watch me as I succeed.
