| Sociology homework, part II! |
[Sep. 9th, 2009|09:24 pm] |
Alright, now that I have five responses to question one, here's question two. Yeah, I'm sure at least a couple of you will have guessed it by now.
Please feel free to continue to respond to question one, if you haven't already! The more input the better!
Question Two
Why do you call people 'black' if that is not the color of their skin? |

I need five people to answer this question. Once I've got five answers, I can post the next question. Yes, this is a required assignment. Yes, I'm kinda like O_o at it too. Just humor me? Thanks!
Question 1:
Why do you call people 'white' when that is not the color of their skin? |

Regardless of the politics, they are using brutal tactics to try and silence their populous. If you know of any twitter links that are still legit, please keep them to yourself to protect those sending them.
http://www.fark.com
They've been having excellent discussion threads on this, with one user keeping a compiled and as accurate as possible list of what has been occurring when. Current thread is here:

Fark users have also been setting up proxies for those inside Iran, trying to help them circumvent the government stranglehold on information and the internet.
The pirate bay gets in on the action!

LOTS of good information here. Pictures, videos, some posts from those still in Iran. Keep in mind many of the images are very, very graphic. There are some people there who are probably trying to spread mis-information, so take everything with a grain of salt. Unofficial election results have also been posted there, showing that the votes (as suspected) were reversed. Unconfirmed as of right now. |

| Political Alert - HR669 |
[Apr. 13th, 2009|01:32 pm] |
HR 669 is a bill that would effectively ban quite a few pets in the United States. Not only that, but it prohibits the breeding of many kinds of animals, and the transportation of them across state lines. Want to take your hamster with you when you move? Sorry, not allowed. Violation of the law would result in (among other things) confiscation and termination of said animal. This affects virtually all pets, with the exception of dogs and cats, which would be 'grandfathered' in. That's right...no tropical fish, no birds, no reptiles, no llamas, no nothing.
http://www.pijac.org/files/public/US_HR_669.pdf and http://www.petconnection.com/blog/2009/04/10/proposed-federal-law/ for more information.
This is the informational video being used to spread this around, so as many people as possible protest it:
Here's the website to fight this bill. It has the letters and such already written, and all you do is put in your zip to locate your representatives: http://nohr669.com/
Please take action, and spread this to as many other people as you can. Cross posting is more than encouraged. |
