She never even knew she had a choice/That's what happens when the only voice She hears is tellin her she can't/STUPID BOY"

Heyy people!
So guess what I'm going to talk about today?? I'm pretty sure the song of the day gave you a hint. The song of the day is actually a really good country song called Stupid Boy. It was actually written by Sarah Buxton, who's a musician from lawrence kansas. Listen to her songs sometime. Especially Innocence. But anyway did you end up guessing what the discussion is? Its the latest scandal that even made CNN. Mel Gibson. I know what your thinking...who's Mel Gibson? He is an old actor, who now as tapes out. For once it is not a celebrity sex tape! Claps for Mel Gibson. It's actually almost worse. Its a tape of him yelling at his baby mama. And he's really degrading her. He is cussing all over the place, and at one point he says "Don't make me bury you under a rose bush". It sucks. But the thing is, it wasn't a surprise to me. You know how many guys hurt girls everyday? So many. Too many. I understand that girls hurt guys too, that it goes both ways, but man I hear waaay more stories about men who hurt a women then I do women who hurt a man. Mel gibson also dropped the n word in there. This all means Mel Gibson = Stupid Boy

It is really sad what girls have to go through in this planet though. I recently red a book called A thousand splendid suns. It is so good. Its an "adult" book. I picked it up because the main characters name was Mariam. It's about the struggles this one girl goes through in her life in Afghanistan. She's put into an arranged marriage with a guy more then 30 years older then her. It also discusses other issues women face in Afghanistan. It was an interest point of mine. I like reading about people I have some kind of connection with. Even if it's just our gender.

I also found an article in a peoples magazine, but it was a human interest piece (love those!) Anyways, it was about a soldier in Afgahnistan who discovered this 15 year old girl who'd been in labor for 3 days! The baby she was carrying died due to some kind of issue. Her husband would not let her go to the doctor throughout the pregnancy because he didn't want another man touching "what's his". So he sat and watched his wife continue to suffer 3 days later. The soldier was no doctor but she found a way to trick the husband into thinking she was and getting a doctor, who happened to be male check out the situation. He found out that the baby really was dead and what needed to happen was the baby to get pulled out, a c section. But they didn't have the equipment. The husband wouldn't let her go to the hospital, he would rather she die then some other guy be up her. Three words: What a douche. Anyways at the end what happened was the person with the smallest hands had to pull the dead baby out of the 15 year old girl. The poor girl was in so much pain.

There are so many different things women have to go through. So many struggles. And those stupid boys just have to add on to the different struggles. If that man had just let go of his stupidity, and jealousness he could have had a healthy wife and a healthy baby. But he lost a life because of his stupidity. And mel gibson should be happy that someone loved him in this world. He should be praising his wife for giving him a child and just loving him. But instead he's yelling at her. That is the world we live in. The only solution? Women need to raise their sons to be different. To "breed" a whole new generation of men. I realize that not all guys are like that, but I pray for the women who have to deal with the ones that are.

Stupid, stupid boys.

quote of the day:Life is hard enough. Don't go around making others lives miserable just because you can, you don't know what they've been through or what is to come for them.
