A couple of interesting news from CNN.com today…

The first one was about a high school denying several students of their high school diploma because they got cheered during the ceremony. While I feel sorry for those students, I would like to commend the school for taking a stand. I think that graduation is a solemn ceremony, and that every student has the right to share this important moments with their family. Oftentimes, the names of some students are not heard because of all the cheering. It is once in a lifetime moment, and it is not fair that this precious moment of theirs would be ruin by some other people’s what I would call rude, inconsiderate, and uncourteous actions. There are so many opportunities before and after the ceremony for family and friends to congratulate their beloved graduates. I do not think that it is that difficult to perceive what is proper and what is not. I also do not think that it is that difficult to think how our actions may affect others before we do it. Let’s be considerate and courteous to others… and the world would be a much better place…

Another (extremely) good news is the one about this one of the top 10 spammers getting arrested. I don’t have much comment about this, except that I think he should be put in jailed and/or banned from using any computer for the rest of his life… Actually, someone should rally up people and just go to his house and spam him with trash… see if he would like that…
