Something That Should Be Illegal

Following around celebrities and constantly taking pictures of them should be illegal. The paparazzi who do this are invading the privacy that everyone should be entitled to. Just because someone is famous doesn't mean you have a right to invade their privacy. For many celebrities, everywhere they go there are people watching their every move waiting for something embarrassing or scandalous to happen. Aside from it being very annoying to a famous person, it must cause a lot of stress worrying about how everything they do is seen and judged by the public. There have been many cases where celebrities lash out against a photographer when they go over the edge. All of the stress (and sometimes violence) can be avoided if always following celebrities and taking pictures becomes illegal. This would give a portion of the population back the rights that everybody else has. It will also deter many people from becoming to wrapped up or obsessed with the lives of celebrities, which is frankly just weird. Making this illegal makes so much sense and I'm surprised that it hasn't already been criminalized.

A Selfish Complaint

School starts too early. Every morning, students everywhere reluctantly roll out of bed this early to get ready for school. It's not being awake at 7:25 that's bad, it's having to wake up at 6 to get ready for the day.  School should be pushed back one hour and start at 8:25. It will give everyone more time to sleep so everyone will be fully ready for the day when they wake up. It's well known that sleep is so good for you, so why not let students and teachers sleep in a little longer? It will get better results by learning and teaching and people would be less likely to doze off during class. It may be a selfish complaint, but I think that it would be really worthwhile.

A Ridiculous Argument

The world is flat. Everybody knows it, yet everyone is afraid to admit it. After all, how many people have actually been in space to see that the world is round? A hundred? Surely not all 6 billion people in all that live in the world. Most people only go so far from where they grow up and never travel far enough away, so they would never know if the world is even round or not. Can anybody provide definitive evidence that the world really isn't flat? Probably not. People spent hundreds of years thinking that the world was flat. Who are we to say that they were wrong the entire time? Ancient civilizations were advanced in a variety of studies like math so why would they be so wrong about this one thing. Maybe it's the people who live today who are wrong. The world is flat, and it is only a matter of time before everybody realizes this once again.
