Nazi War Criminals

László Csizsik-Csatáry

Today I would like to write a little about the recent hunting for Nazi war criminals in the recent years. To give a little background there are a good amount of Nazis that were convicted in absentia after WW2 and spread out around the world to avoid being captured. Some died having lead another life in another country, but some have been tracked down in the…

So where is my discount?

As some of you know, I got a letter in the mail that I made the Dean's list at school last semester. I did think it was cool and all, but I also don't see the big deal. All it is is a piece of paper and my name on the school website. Now "the bar has been set" as my academic adviser put it.

I have also become addicted to Game of Thrones. This is seriously the best show I have seen in a very long time. I love the dire wolves. I have finished with the first season and I'm…

Full time studies.

I'm all signed up for classes next semester. I know I mentioned the computer class as well as the paralegal course already, but on top of those two I have added two more to go back full time. The two additional classes are, fundamentals of public speaking and creative writing.

I am not really looking forward to the public speaking class as it is not something I am good at. However, I think that if I work at it I can do a good job. I did take a speech class in my Sr.…

College

I am approximately 2 months away from graduation at a college in Philadelphia (originally from Connecticut). I have completed college in 3 years (a major goal of mine) and now I am looking back at my time here. There is a lot of debate on whether people should go to college…

You can call me Mr. Morality.

Well I got my ethics final graded and it was a 95%. I ended up with a 94% in the class overall. In short, two classes, two A's. I am certainly glad the semester is over as it was very stressful at times. I'm thinking about quitting my job after summer and just going back to school full time so I can get my degree and start my illustrious career doing menial work for piss poor pay.

I do qualify for grants now so it will cover my tuition and books so that is quite nice. For the…

Hero

I have had this discussion with my brother in the past and I would like others to jump in. How do you define a hero?

I originally came to this question after constantly hearing that soldiers, police officers, etc are heroes. Not a specific statement just generalizations made to those professions. It always made me a little upset because I never…

You are not prepared!

If you get that reference I will love you forever, at least until you get on my bad side, then I will find you and hurt you. Any who!  

I am impatiently awaiting my final grade in my English class. If it is anything less than an A I am going to challenge it. I do suspect that my professor did not take too kindly to me slamming patriotism as something I was toying with as a topic. I do know that after I I had mentioned that as a possibility my grade started to slip a bit. I end…

Ethics of Public Executions

Shiznit recently posed some controversial questions about killing and remorse,

so, this an attempt to rationalize just cause & means to develop a national sense of ethics on public executions.

I would be interested in exploring the ethics of establishing the due process and the regulations of instituting a national recall and referendum that would result in public humiliation and/OR execution.

Question:

At what point does a nation of law…

Greatest 250 year ever?

Are we living in the greatest period of existence?

I have pondered this question many times. I start to think back in the past 250 years (essentially since the formation of the USA) and then I go a little forward to maybe the past 100 years. To me it is remarkable about how fast society has advanced in such a short amount of time. Sure those things like the wheel and fire were all good, but to me I feel that these past 100-250 years have moved our species…

Passion vs. Practicality Concluded.

A lot has happened since my last blog post. I continue to do well on my ethics papers as so far I have eight papers graded and all of them are perfect 10/10's. I am also slaughtering my English class with a 97%, but I expect that from myself. I am an English major after all.

I know in a previous blog I had mentioned that I was torn between English and paralegal as a major because of what they both had to offer. English for writing (passion), or paralegal (practicality) for…

Passion vs. Practicality

I am at a major crossroad in my life as I have some important decisions to make in regards to what I am going to do for a living. I'm currently an English major and I would like to use this to write for a living. Writing has been a passion of mine for a very long time and it has helped me through some very rough times in my life. However, I have also considered a career in paralegal because I think it would be more practical and something to fall back on if my writing career doesn't work…

Constantly Stepping outside of your Comfort Zone - Or my thoughts on Procrastination

Hi There!



I´ve been thinking a lot about this topic recently, as I, like nearly every other human on this planet, have been procrastinating way too much on what I do.

This procrastination has been going on and on and on, and it seems to be something that seems to be limiting me in my goals, and my happiness. Especially because I´m the kind of person that feels bad if I don´t do something or do something wrong...



If you really think about procrastination, and why it…
