Well my free trial of netflix is over so my brother told me about this other site called HULU that is similar but you don't have to pay. The only thing is it is alot of older movies and you can only watch certain ones on HULU. Others you have to have HULU PLUS which costs you money. The other down fall is there are commercials which sucks. It is ok if you have absolutely nothing else i guess.

The point i'm trying to get across is that no matter how hard you try to ban tattooing in the prisons it will always happen one way or another. So we might as well find a safer alternative to the problem. My main text is an article about how even though there are repercusions to tattooing in prison it is still done. There is a high rate of HCV passed through dirty needles. If we tey to implement a program where they can get tattoos with clean and sterile needles and clean ink then that could possibly help with the spread. If you look at the cost of the program and then the cost to treat one inmate per year for the disease it all evens out. Hopefully my reader will look at both sides and not just what their already formed opinion is.

I don't necessarily have a specific way I organize my notes. I keep them all together and label what each one is and write a little about each one if i have to use more than one sheet. That way I can make sure to have all the right information when i need it and will be able to find things. Then when i'm ready to write my paper I can be on top of things and not scrambling around looking for things that are not labeled or lost.

A week or so before the election it was very interesting to get on facebook and read all the posts about the candidates. I don't have cable so that was the only way I was really able to see adds and things like that. Alot of people put their opinions up and alot of pages that were suporting certain candidates were posting as well. One i saw was especially appalling (sp?). I guess it was from some girls twitter that made her sond especially dumb and ignorant. It was something to the effect of "When King Romney is elected she hopes he makes the black people become slaves for the whitl people because she hates having to do things herself." and the next one said "when Obama's kids go to public school she hopes they get bullied because they are ugly B******". WHO IN THE WORLD WOULD POST SOMETHING LIKE THIS?????? But i guess that just shows some people have no home training......

I will be using the research method. Since of course I will have to research my topic to get more information on it. After I get all the appropriate information I will have to argue my side using these sources I have found to back my arguement up.

It's so funny to me how when you are looking for scholarships all the junk you have to go through. If you apply for one then you have to go through all these steps or "other offers" just to finish your application. Then on top of that they fill you inbox up with junk.

A Source

One of the sources I have is a study about why inmates in  correctional institutions get tattoos even though there are sanctions if caught. In some cases those sanctions can affect their parole, but yet they still get them. Alot of them get tattoos that show who they are affiliated with or get tattoos that mean something to them. I think it is a reliable source. I found it by using the MTSU database. It will help me in my aper when it comes to discussing the differences and similarities in prison tattoos and street tattoos and the reason for getting them.
