Girls Gone Bad?

Are these stories conservative censorship in disguise or is there really a problem?

Sexism

Sexism has been happening for a long time in American culture. Two famous songs by Dion and the Belmonts made this issue very clear. Read the lyrics from The Wanderer and Runaround Sue.

Sexism can be a thing of the past, if we stop teaching it to our kids, especially in school!

At issue here are these these common questions:

  • Why is it OK for one person to do it, but not OK for someone else?
  • Is there a real underlying reason for the discrepancy or is it a case of prejudice or discrimination?

Air Force ousts staff sergeant for Playboy spread

Michelle Manhart, a 30 year old staff sergeant, was demoted and removed from active duty by the Air Force for modeling for Playboy magazine.

Michelle Manhart said, "Of what I did, nothing is wrong, so I didn't anticipate anything, of course." She also said, "I didn't do anything wrong, so I didn't think it would be a major issue." [1]

What should seriously be at issue here is when one person or organization tries to force their morals or beliefs onto another person! MSNBC's headline for this story was, "Honorable discharge after Playboy pictorial?" [2] Implying that somehow it wouldn't be acceptable to get a honorable discharge for this action. You can certainly see how biased MSNBC is towards this issue simply by reading their headline. Conservatism is what this is.

This whole issue shouldn't even be an issue. What someone does on their own time, is their business. Provided the law isn't being broken, if you have a problem with someone's else's behavior, then it is your problem, not theirs. You can probably see this happening a lot just by watching people interact with one another.

Michelle told Playboy magazine that she felt what she was doing was exercising her rights. Male bodybuilders are commonly photographed wearing a speedo swim suit. Michelle feels that what she did was the same thing. She feels that there is a double standard with this issue.

Based on the actions of the Air Force, it seems there is one thing for certain. If you are a female and want out of the military, simply pose for a magazine! They might try to court martial you but how could they?

Answer this, what would happen if almost everyone in the military posed for a magazine? They would probably change their opinion on this subject. You know for certain that they can't court martial everyone and certainly not oust everyone from the military for posing for a magazine!

Texas Cheerleaders

I found this article while surfing for news.

I keep seeing headlines about these types of issues. Recently, there were headlines about Texas cheerleaders gone bad.

Politicians seem to be persuaded to make laws which seem to limit freedom of speech rights.

A note from Speedracer, the creator of this wiki:

First, a quick answer to your question: YES! You can edit this page without asking permission!

Why did I create this Wiki?

In my opinion, it seems that people are to busy watching American Idol or worrying about who is going to get Anna Nicole's baby than paying attention to what will directly effect them. If they don't open their eyes soon, they may never be able to stop the runaway train heading down the dead end track.

My analogy: Someone is walking down the sidewalk so preoccupied with something on the other side of the street that they fail to see the sign post they are about to run into. I'm just trying to say, "Lookout!" and direct their attention to something more important.

Unfortunately, people are so distracted with what is going on in their own micro-environments, they fail to see the big picture of what is going on in the real world in which they live.

I created the Your-Rights.com website because I wanted to share the information that I found while web surfing, listening to Air America, etc. with other people. I feel it is important for other people to have a greater chance to see what I have seen.

After operating Your-Rights.com for over four years, I was getting a bit burned out from blogging about all the depressing current events. I decided to give others the opportunity to share their knowledge and concerns through the medium of a wiki.

I feel a wiki is a great way to share information for several reasons. It is fairly easy to use the wiki software. Unlike most other web interfaces, a wiki allows anyone to update existing articles or create completely new ones. This allows anyone to fix typo's, remove false information and add additional information.

By viewing the popular pages list, you will notice that people do actually view the pages within this wiki. Unfortunately, besides me there has only been one other person contribute anything besides SPAM content.

Here is something that I feel deserves more attention, especially since people are starting to be more aware of the issues involved with global warming.

The article you will see by following this link is a short paragraph which has a lot of links. If you view each of the links, you will learn a lot about this issue, which definitely needs some real public debate.

There is a lot of very important information within that article. If you take the time to review the provided links, you will probably be appalled by the inner workings of the War on drugs!

The above link goes to my other website, which I designed. It may not be the best website that you have ever seen. Some people have even told me, "That site sucks!" Aesthetics are nice to look at, but the information is what is most important. As you most likely already know, mean people will drive you into the ground if you let them. And besides, if you don't like the way it looks, why not offer to help make it look better?

I try my best to get people to open their eyes. Hopefully I am creating a positive effect and making a difference by helping people start thinking about the world in which they live instead of the world of their favorite celebrities.

If you know of something which you feel would be beneficial for others to know about, please feel free to go ahead and add your information. Please don't be afraid that you might mess everything up or something similar. Anything that you could possibly break is very easy to fix!

If you can't figure something out, feel free to ask me for help! I have contact information on my user page.
