Nuns on social media

I don't know if it is a good idea to have nuns on social media, only because there can be a lot of violence on there and mad people. But then again, maybe that's what social media needs. Maybe they need the presence of nuns to remember to be respectful. I mean I know I wouldn't talk to nuns like that, I would feel so disgusted with myself. It just seems too rude to me, I can't see myself doing that. I just hope no one is rude to them, they don't deserve that, I don't think they should be exposed to that.

Social media challenges now more dangerous

I do not understand the whole point of these weird challenges. Do they know that what they are doing is dangerous? And can cause lifelong injuries? I mean, I would not do that because it sounds painful, excruciatingly painful. It just sounds so stupid to me. It concerns me how these kids (or teens, whoever they are) are able to come up with these kinds of things. All I'm saying is parents should be more knowledgeable and aware of what their kids are doing because it is getting way out of hand and way out of control. These are kids we're talking about.

Snapchat robbery

I mean I guess it's a smart way to a rob someone through Snapchat, but is it really necessary? It seems a bit excessive to me. Yea, you gotta do what you gotta do, but through Snapchat? Can't you save chats in it? Unless the guy didn't want anyone to find out. Now that I think about it, why a Motel 6? Why not a park or somewhere else? That in itself seems a little sketchy to me. All I'm saying is there might be more than one reason she robbed him. Then again I'm not an investigator or lawyer.

Gangs and Social Media

I do not understand why people continue to blame social media for society's problems. Instead of pointing the finger, how about we think about how the situation came to be in the first place. When on Instagram, as you start to like certain things more and more, that same type of content will reappear on your feed. If the person on the app likes that content, they have made the decision to continue to see that. So if someone continued to like posts with gang-related content, they have made the decision to have those ideas in their heads every time they open Instagram. Getting rid of social media will not get rid of gangs, I say that because it sounds like people are saying the solution to ending gangs is an end to social media. That is not it.

China banning Peppa Pig

Talk about taking control, I have to applaud China for banning those characters. Not because I do not like them (I have nothing against Winnie the Pooh or Peppa Pig) but because they wanted something done so they did it. China's government did not approve nor appreciate what was being done with the cartoons so they banned both. I have heard of politicians complain about how people use social media but they do not do anything about it. Unlike those people, Chinese officials did what they thought they should. I just think it was awesome how they took actions with they thought they should change.

CEO makes good call on rapid response

I still can not believe that people would want to shoot schools so much. I mean I understand that they are going through pain, but leave other kids out of it. That being said, I can understand the mother's anger in the amount she had to pay. I am glad she expected to pay quite a bit of money and not assume they would give her a free flight. I am also happy to read about the founder/CEO giving the mother her money back entirely, as well as giving her an additional donation of $18,000 to go towards funds for her son. It makes me continue to believe that there are still compassionate people in this world.
