Now that the competition is in full swing we have a glut of new inexperienced bloggers. These bloggers have come in search of a scholarship, consequentially they write many blogs, and make many comments.
Now, these new bloggers are usually mentally challenged, so it is hard for them to think of anything to blog about. However, they want a scholarship so they must blog about many things.
Now, about 95% percent of these blogs are useless or pointless. No one cares about your personal life, we want to hear ideas and thoughts.
These new bloggers are incapapble of thinking about grandiose things; they just sit in their marxist bubble and tell stories about their high school.
These bloggers are incapapble of thinking. Maybe its just because they are liberals?

A few bloggers come to mind...
I'd have to say making a 'competition' out of blogging is kind of odd, and, in my general opinion, stupid.
However, if $1000 is at stake, I understand the fact that everyone wants to type up the most random, useless, shallow blogs and comments to win.
I have to admit, I started out with that mentallity. I want money, so I'm gonna write as much crap as I can. Then I realized, some people on here have no life and will just blog all day. So yea, scholarship isn't going to happen because I don't have the time to waste, but at least I can read interesting perspectives, and if people don't like what I write, they don't have to read it.
In my opinion, it is very ignorant to say that the new, inexperienced bloggers are "mentally challenged." Sure, stories about their personal lives and the self introductions are stupid, but there is the right of freedom of expression.
But I am free to tell them so.

Perhaps not everyone is in it for the money.
I joined to develop my knowledge of current events and to hone my ability to take a stand on an issue. In my blog, I made a first post that was almost entirely anecdotal, but I was using it as a way for me to break the ice - to get used to writing in a new tone, for a new audience, and with a new purpose.
That said, there are a million reasons why people might have joined, not just your reason or mine. If you do not want to read someone's blog, then don't.
After all, isn't this about creating a forum for new voices? Isn't it about exercising an open mind?
