cleveland woman

The 911 call is a perfect example. Why did the operator sound so skeptical and careless? “We’ll send them[cops] as soon as we get a car open”? Then, she hangs up. What kind of crap is that? The woman has been missing for 10 years and is horrified! That was probably the coldest, most incompetent response I’ve ever heard! They don’t give a damn.

It is time for the Police to pay more attention to poor neighborhoods and respond sooner. They’re quicker to respond to white rich neighborhoods, I’ve witnessed it way too often, it is not speculation. Poor minority neighborhoods, on the other hand, have to take the backseat. They need the authorities’ help a lot more than rich neighborhoods do. Do your goddamn job, authorities!

Just glad they were found well.

What does a scam email look like?

I just opened my Gmail spam folder and came across this:

 scam messages

It is not the first (and it won’t be the last), but since it is Gmail—the only email service to date I’d put my trust in—I guess I was a bit surprised that I keep getting them. This must be heard! I want to show the unaware souls out there what a scam email looks like.

It is very easy to be tricked these days, especially when the message looks like it comes from your mail server and it sounds so threatening, and you’re not Internet savvy. Our privacy is not protected anymore.

Too many people are falling for these obvious scams! Worse yet, people reply with all their personal information. Stop responding to everything! Don’t become a victim of identity theft! Even you reading this may be (or have been) fooled. So basically, I want to raise awareness because you need to open your eyes and these fraudsters must be stopped.

The Internet is a scary place and it’s just getting scarier by the day. Scammers are getting more “creative.” But you can be even smarter than them by keeping your eyes wide open. Stay alert! With all these social networks it is now more difficult to protect one’s personal information online—if one decides to join these networks, that is. But it’s not impossible. Just be very wary and smart about what information you share online and you should be OK.

Feel free to share!

Until men are equally objectified — or until no one is objectified at all — we won’t stop bringing up this dirt-old subject (that just won’t go away). We won’t stop until these ads are no longer the “norm” in our society. And if only women agreed to stop taking part…

Missrepresentation.org posted this video of the various ads out there using women to sell their products.

Everything worth a shot requires hard work, but it doesn’t have to cost you your savings. I learned it the hard way and I wish someone had warned me (or reminded me) of this fact before I made that big mistake…

I wrote my story so that you don’t have to get scammed. It’s in the form of an eBook and it’s free. You can download it on my Smashwords Author Page.

In America, justice is OCCASIONALLY served. Glad to see this was one of the cases.

He’s an old man, it’s a shame, but he’s about to find out what it’s like. Life is full of ironies, isn’t it? Karma does bite you in the ass in the end. Have fun in jail, old man.

Entre 1892 y 1954, millones de inmigrantes llegaron al estado de Nueva York a través de una estación de inmigración en una pequeña isla llamada Ellis Island. Estos inmigrantes llegaron a este país escapando la persecución religiosa, la opresión política y la pobreza en sus países de origen. Irlandeses, italianos, judíos y otros han formado miles de familias y negocios que han influenciado la composición cultural del país, especialmente de la gran ciudad de Nueva York, por cientos de años.
