The NFL Seems Perfect...

As an innocent bystander, I don't have a fight in this battle, but I do have something to say about it. NFL superstar, Ray Rice plays on the Baltimore Ravens as a running back. He was recently accused of abusing his wife. Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Petersen accused of child abuse. 


Really guys, how much are we going to take of this abuse? It's becoming as issue, as you can see. It's never okay to abuse anyone, but when role models and heroes are all the sudden committing a felony, you really know its bad. In my opinion, they should treat them the same as someone who lives on the street. ABUSE IS ABUSE. No matter who is doing it. If found guilty, they should be off their teams and sentenced just like everyone else.

If you or someone you know is being abused call the National Domestic Violence Hotline for help. 1-800-799-7233

Nurse in Dallas contracts Ebola?!

WOW! This is epic. I can't believe that the nurse didn't take the necessary precautions to make sure this didn't happen.

Ebola is becoming something very serious. This particular nurse was taking care or Mr. Thomas Duncan when he came from Africa to Dallas to visit family with Ebola. Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says that this nurse didn't follow the rules that the CDC set in place so that the nurses didn't get Ebola, and that's why she got it. She came in direct contact with Duncan and wasn't careful enough. CDC also said that other nurses were in contact with Mr. Duncan during the time he was in the hospital, which should be handled. It's sad to have to say but Mr. Duncan didn't survive Ebola. He passed away October 8th.

Someone needs to take control and help prevent from anyone else catching this terrible disease.
