50 Cent tattoo removal

Rapper 50 Cent is reported to soon have all his tattoos removed from his body. This just shows how stereo typed certain people are. Not only who he is but the way he looks could cause him to not get as many endorsments or other advertisment deals. 50 said himself hes doing this to hope for new opportunities hopefully in the movie business. 50 feels removing all of his tattoos and and not having such a crazy image will make him a better candidate in doing so. Do you think 50 is doing the smart thing or is this a waste of time considering hes already ridiculously famous and loaded. I think it shows a bit more character in him and it shows hes trying to prove he can do more than just rap a few lines.

Bruins shake up city of Vancouver

NHL playoffs are finally finished. After game 7 Boston Bruins took the series to win the stanley cup. After a close series Vancouver couldn't bring it back to Canada. Recent riots and people going crazy in Vancouver is representing the disappointment in the city. Even if you werent a fan of Vancouver this year, most canadians wanted them to win over Boston just so the cup can come back to Canada. Although theres something most people probably didnt look at. The majority of the Vancouver Canucks roster are American players. So why do us canadians want the canucks to win? Now if you take a look at the Boston Bruins roster, the majority of the players are canadians. So why not want the Bruins to win so canadian players can bring the cup back to their canadian cities? So when people say they were rooting for Vancouver because the team is canadian its ridiculous because the team is contained of all american players. I'm happy Boston took the cup this year knowing this doesnt make it so bad to see an american team win built with all canadian players.

Banning smoking tobacco outdoors?

Recently in New York there has been a new law settled about smoking tobacco in public spaces outdoors. This includes community parks and other public areas. If you are caught smoking in these areas you will be ticketed around 50$ and if you continue to smoke you will be charged 250$. Is this law going overboard? Some people feel it is going over board considering not many places indoors allow smoking inside anymore. If smoking is going to be illegal in areas outdoors there better off just making it illegal. Banning it in certain areas isnt going to stop people from smoking. The government obviously doesnt want to ilegalize smoking tobacco because they make too much money off of it. Making a law banning it in certain areas will minimize second hand smoke and will be another way to get money out of our hands. If the government thought smoking was that big of a deal they would just make it illegal, but they can't do that.

Child Obeisity or Child Abuse?

Some people may say if a child is obeise in younger years of their life, it is the parents fault considering they are the ones that feed and take care of them. Children years 1-8 really still dont have a say for what is in the house to eat and what they are allowed to eat. Some parents will also often force there children to eat at certain times of the day with the rest of the family. At that age you are also usually expected to eat what you are served. Parents may be over feeding there kids and the child has no choice but to eat it due to not wanting to be punished. I believe that parents often are to forceful in how much there child needs to eat. If the child is hungry he/she will eat or simply ask to eat just like any human being would. If the child is full he/she is full, their shouldnt be any questioning considering its been proven to be bad for your intestines to force more food than your body can handle. Dr. Oz the television show a few days ago were having a debate on this subject. Is it child abuse to have a child that is obeise? There has been a couple incidents in the states where children have actually been taken away from their parents due to unhealthy feeding. Although its not always the amount of food children are being served, it is also the quality of the food being served. Some parents buy junk food for snacks instead of fruit or vegtables. Then again the child can't control what food is in the house to eat or what the parents are buying at the grocery store. Therefore they are being abused without even knowing it.

Has it gone too far?

Basketball superstar Kobe Bryant recently facing a hefty fine of $100,000. On Tuesdays game against San Antonio Spurs, Kobe was pulled out of the game due to too many technical fouls. Kobe then said a "gay slur" towards the referee. The next day on Wednesday Kobe found out he has was being charged $100,000 for his actions on Tuesday nights game. Is this a fair punishment just for a couple of words? The NBA is definitley over doing this situation. San Antonio is a big rival of the lakers and Kobe was simply just in the heat of the moment. Any ordinary person on the street wouldnt even get charged for saying what he said. I'm sure Kobe didnt really mean what he said and it was just out of anger. There has been many other worst incidents in sports than a simple slur. France national soccer team player Zidane head butted Italy player and was only charged $25,000. Is Kobe Bryants incident worst than Zidanes? Is it worth 80,000 dollars more? Personally I think Zidanes incident is by far much worst than Kobes yet Kobe has to pay roughly 80,000 dollars more.

"Bring hockey back to Toronto"

Recent story on CTV involves local Toronto neighbourhood making a complaint over a city by-law. The city of Toronto has had a by-law for awhile now saying hockey is not allowed to be played on the streets. Neighbourhood in Toronto feels this law should be abolished. There are many reasons why these people/parents feel this way. One of the reasons for example are for financial reasons. Not every family can afford to put there kids in organized hockey which can sometimes be expensive depending on the skill level and team. Every kid should be able to play hockey freely on the streets without any cost. Its extremely unfair to kids that don't have the money to play to be excluded from the sport. Another example is for the issue of obesity. People say children these days are getting too caught up in television, video games and other entertainment that is pulling them away from physical activity. They say children these days don't get out and play enough. Its kind of hard for kids to get out and play when they cant play one of Canada's most popular official sports on the streets of their neighbourhood. Hockey is an activity that is very popular in Canada and has been since it was created. It is ridiculous how Toronto has banned it from being played on the streets of their city. Another argument used is that it keeps kids or even teens busy and off the streets causing trouble. When kids get bored that is when they start wondering the streets and causing problems. Kids on the street playing hockey would cause a lot less problems then kids vandalizing or selling drugs because they have nothing better to do. Local neighbourhoods are now trying to pressure city council to try and get Canada's game of hockey back on the streets of Toronto.
