Don't read my blog!

Im so sick of people coming to my blog telling me to write my own stuff. Who are you to tell me what i can and can't put in MY BLOG. Mostly all of my blogs DO come from news articles but its not like i try to make it seem like the article is written by me i give credit where credit is do and i DO NOT just post them just to be posting them, i post news articles that i think people want to read about (like the one about the baby being found in the garbage bag) or articles that have information on topics that i want other peoples views on (like the one about sex myths). Alot of people come to me asking wheres my comment about the blog i posted and they feel like im just posting random things just for the points if my blog doesn't have a comment. That is really not the case. Some of my blogs have comments by me but most of them don't this is because i choose not to put a comment up there (obviously). If you should so happen to come across a blog that i have posted and you would like my 2 cents about the topic i would be more than happy to tell you but i don't think that i have to put a comment for every blog that i post.  I think its really stupid on other peoples parts to waste their time coming to me talking about what i need to post in my blog when they should be worried about what they need to post in theirs. To make it short and sweet don't read my blog if you don't like what i put in it.

...it isn't that simple, since you're participating in the scholarship, which deserves to be won by someone who actually puts effort into their blogs.

If I want to read the news, then I would go to a news website. On the other hand, I come here to read what people's opinions are. I think that it is important that you put your comments along with the articles, or quotes.

Just posting a whole article on this website, I consider, is plagiarism. Even though you are giving credit to their work, you are still passing their work off as yours to gain points for the scholarship. Especially by just putting their article in your blog, and then adding no comment. Think about it, you are using their work to get points! That's why we want to see, or read, your comments. We want to see what 'you' think, what 'you' would change, not just what the news say.

I'm not at all trying to be mean, or anything. I'm just trying to say, let your voice be known.

A person who posts just articles all the time with no opinion (all the time, I think with good reason a couple of times is fine but when thats all of your material then its a problem) will not get the scholarship because I'm sure the mods will look through them and discard the ones that are irrelevant...I hope
