Shocking photo created a hero, but not to his family

      So this article was about a young man in 1961 who was part of the first ever freedom rider bus trip. When the bus arrived in the segregated south, the young man (James Zwerg) had offered to get of the bus first and ended up doing so. Waiting for him and the 18 others was a large racial mob who then beat the crap out of the Freedom Riders.
      After some time the police managed to rescue the Freedom riders and rushed them to nearby hospitals. Hospitalized with several broken vertabrae and fractured teeth as well as nummerous bruises, James told a camera crew who came to his room, "We will continue our journey, one way or another. We are prepared to die." This was put in the news papers and later became a summoning call to more Freedom Riders.
      Thi article shows a lot of bravery and courage. I know for a fact that i would never get of a bus knowing that a mob of people armed with bats, chains, and clubs are mad enough at me to tear my guts out with a pitchfork. I think i would rather die than endure such beating and torture. What do you think?

SEALS team unnoticed in hometown.

      So the Navy Seals who killed Bin Laden dont even get recognition for doing so. In fact they are not even allowed to mention to their own familys that they were involved with Bin Ladens death.
      I think that this makes sense but then it doesnt. It makes sense because the Navy SEALS are under an oath of secrecy and that applies to everything. Also there lives would be endangered if terrorist supporters knew who they are and wanted revenge.
      It doesnt make sense because these heroes deserve the recognition and if they dont get it some general who stayed at a desk during the operation will claim the fame for himself. What do you think?

Sony apologizes for PlayStation breach, offers compensation

      So you probably know that 77 million online playstation users' personal data was hacked. i think this is big especially since the hacker know has these peoples credit card information.
      Now Sony is offering them a free 30 days of online plus as compensation for their frusturation. So some idiot might have all of their personal info as well as their creit card number and thats all they get.
      I think that this is pretty retartarded. I mean, personally, if someone had my credit card number i would expect the person in charge of the internet securityto give me more than just another form of advertisement designed to get me hooked on their system.
