Anything that is put onto the internet is there forever, there is no way of removing it completely, this is called your digital footprint. There are many ways a person can decrease their digital footprint some more simpler than others. The first way that I have found is to limit the information that you put online. For example if you want to buy a shirt offline you would have to use your credit card number as well as your home address. Once that information is on the internet there is no way of knowing who is going to see it and there is no way of having it removed once it has been put onto the internet. The second way I have found to prevent your digital footprint from increasing is to limit the amount of  sites that you sign up for. For example Facebook, Twitter, and even a Gmail account. Once a person activates a Gmail account and is logged on while searching for things on Google, the things that have been searched are saved and never deleted no matter how many times you believe that you have cleared your history. The third way that a person can lessen their digital footprint is to monitor what their friends are posting and saying about them online. If a friend puts up a photo of you doing something that you really should not be doing, anyone can be able to see it. There is no way of knowing how many people have viewed that photo or post. In conclusion, once something is posted online it is unable to be completely deleted. Whether it be a picture, an address, or a birthday it is on the internet forever and there is no way for it to completely and totally erased.

There are many organizations that are trying to end animal cruelty. One of the organizations that is in Ontario is OSPCA which stands for Ontario Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. This is also a Humane Society that takes in any animals that are not in well taken care of homes.The organization was formed on July 4th 1873. There are many laws against animal cruelty but like all laws, they are sometimes broken. This can mean many different things such as not taking care of your animal for instance not feeding or giving your pet water. It can also be by not having a suitable living environment for your animal to be living in. There are many different things that can be seen as animal cruelty. Cruelty towards animals should be stopped. There is no reason why it shouldn't. There is no bright side to animal cruelty other than if the animal is found in time and is well enough to be put into a new person's care and taken care of better than ever. I do no agree with animal cruelty nor will I ever. This is an act that must be stopped.

When i grow up i am going to have three different types of cats. My first will be a long haired munchkin named munch, my second will be a white long haired with blue eyes named fuzz, my third will be a hairless cat named fluffy. 

 
Thousands and thousands of people marched in protest again the gay marriage bill in Paris France. In my opinion i find this terrible. Everyone should have the right to marry whomever they choose, whether it be two girls or two boys or a girl and a boy it should not matter. Love is love and there is nothing you can do to change that. If France does not pass the bill then the people who are wanting to marry they will just have to go somewhere where they are socially accepted and are legally able to marry each other. There should be no law in my opinion for who can and cannot get married, everyone is their own person and they deserve to live their lives the way they have chosen to live them. I think the whole homophobic thing really irritates me so much because in my family a couple of my family members are gay and my entire family accepts them for who they are. Nobody judges them or treats them differently because they aren't different, they have feelings just like everyone else, they have the ability to feel love, it just happens that it is for the same gender and there is nothing wrong with that. People always have their "coming out stories" and how scared they were to tell everyone that they are gay when they should not be scared at all. There should be no such thing as homophobia, there should not have to be a "bill" passed so that two people can be married. If a woman and a woman or a man and a man want to get married, let them. As long as they are happy that is all that matters. 
 
In Toronto there was two people who were armed and robbed the TD bank. Two people were shot, one in the leg and one in the abdomen. From just this we see how violent people are becoming lately. There has been bombings, shootings, and robbery that is becoming more and more frequent. It shows that people will literally do anything for money, whether it be rob a bank or steal from a persons home. There are no limits that people will go to in order to get money or cause a scene. Either someone is looking for attention for what they have done or they just want to be rewarded if they do not get caught in the act. People are getting more and more violent and it needs to stop before it gets too out of hand, that is to say if
 
 I do not think that putting a casino into the Kitchener region is a very good idea. The reason I think this is because if it there is one built, people may become addicted to gambling. When someone gets addicted to gambling it is very hard for them to stop and they begin to lose practically all of their money. If people become broke from this casino then there will be an increase in homeless people. Plus, not a lot of people come to Kitchener when they're touring around. For example if someone came all the way from England you would not expect them to tour around in Kitchener Waterloo. If a casino is made the only reason people will come to Kitchener is to gamble and that is not something that is good. Gambling is bad and can become a very serious addiction. Putting a casino in would only increase the amount of people that are addicted                         
 
For Ted X I am excited to see what it is that people are going to say. Damian Palin is one of the people that I would like to hear speak about science. I would also like to hear Tavi Gevinson who talks about entertainment. Thandie Newton is another person that i would like to listen to speak. I am excited to hear everyone speak and all the things that they're going to say.
