I’m Sorry- I don’t tip gay people

EXCUSE ME, LADY!? IT IS 2013 AND YOU NEED TO GET OVER YOURSELF. YOUR NOTE,

IM SORRY, BUT I CANNOT TIP BECAUSE I DO NOT AGREE WITH YOUR LIFESTYLE AND HOW YOU LIVE YOUR LIFE.

WAS NOT NECESSARY AND YOU SHOULD GO BACK THERE AND TIP YOUR SERVER $100 FOR BEING SO RUDE!

Dayna Morales is a former Marine and now serves at the Gallop Asian Bistro in New Jersey. Morales is also a lesbian. When Morales introduced herself to a family of four one night the woman responded: “Oh, I thought you were going to say your name was Dan. You sure surprised us!” At the end of the night the family’s bill totaled nearly $100 and instead of leaving a tip, the woman left her a note to Morales with a slash on the tip line.

I have worked in the restaurant business for about five years and I have never witnessed ANYTHING like this. I never knew people could be so cruel. If I was Morales, I would have told the woman I didn’t like the way she lived her lifestyle.

Morales ended up posting a picture of the receipt on Facebook, saying that the mother of two children was shocked by her “short hair.” Morales wrote that she was offended and hurt and that

THIS is what her kids will grow up learning and that I served in the Marines to keep ignorant people like them free.

Since Morales posted the photo of the receipt there have been over $2,000 worth of tips given to her from people all around the world. People were traveling to the restaurant, sending money, and calling to give Morales a tip. There were also many people who visited the restaurant and requested to speak with Morales or to just sit at one of her tables.

Morales was so busy fielding the calls and emails of support that she hardly had a chance to wait any tables, even those who came just to see her. But that hasn’t stopped the tips from coming in by the hundreds of dollars. Jason Papvero, who GAVE A $50 cash tip despite never sitting down or eating at the restaurant.

Bobby Vanderhoff, the manager of the restaurant said,

The restaurant doesn’t tolerate discrimination of any kind and the customers were no longer welcome there. We support Dayna 100 percent. She’s a wonderful person and a wonderful server, and we are extremely proud of her and the way she handled this situation.

Morales says it is great to see everybody’s support and is very thankful for it, but it still does not change the fact or excuse what actually happened.

MORALES PLANS TO SEND A PORTION OF HER NEW TIPS TO THE WOUNDED WARRIOR PROJECT.

ObamaCare Girl

I found this video very interesting and wanted to hear some feedback on it. This video is about: ObamaCare, the girl on the website, cyber bullying, and an action figure. Personally, I think the end is pretty ridiculous with what they do to the doll. Let me know what you think!

15 year-old girl ARRESTED

Police from St. Petersburg, Florida arrested a 15 year-old girl who they say has sent several hundred of threatening texts to three other 15 year-old girls. The girl, who is to remain unnamed was friends with the three other girls until they had a falling out.

The girl is now being charged with three counts of aggravated stalking and one count of tampering with a witness. The suspect admitted to sending some of the texts, but not all of them. Many of these texts were allegedly death threats– one saying “if this isn’t bullying then I don’t know what is.”

On Monday, when the girl was interviewed by the police, they told her to stay away from the victims. The suspect continued to send threatening texts which resulted in tampering with a witness.

When will bullying stop? Today? Tomorrow? Next month? NEVER!? How many children will die due to being bullied by their classmates or old friends? 

About a month ago two teens in Florida were arrested for cyber bullying which caused a girl to jump off the top of an abandoned concrete plant. These two girls were charged with felony aggravated stalking.

• Over half of adolescents and teens have been bullied online– about the same number have engaged in cyber bullying
  
• More than 1 in 3 young people have experienced cyber threats online
• Over 25% of adolescents and teens have been bullied repeatedly through their cell phones or the internet
• Over half of young people do not tell their parents when cyber bullying occurs.
• Bully victims are between 2 to 9 times more likely to consider suicide than non-victims
• Nearly 30% of students are either bullies or victims of bullying, and 160,000 kids stay home from school every day because of fear of bullying

We’ve seen bullying in the school systems, work place, at home, in the NFL, and many more places, but why can’t anyone do anything to stop it? There needs to be more done about bullying and cyber bullying. It’s not easy to speak up about being bullied, but there needs to be more severe punishments for those who bully during school or anywhere else. When I was in middle school/high school, there was just “a slap on the wrist” if you were to bully someone. That is not going to do anything. STAND UP and DO SOMETHING. Don’t just sit there and watch someone get bullied. Too many innocent lives are taken due to bullying and it needs to stop. Stop bullying, save a life.

Racism and Bad Words=Brotherhood

Richie Incognito, a guard for the Miami Dolphins is currently indefinitely suspended for conduct detrimental to the team.

Jonathan Martin, offensive tackle for the Dolphins has been allegedly bullied by his teammate, Incognito. Martin checked himself into a South Florida hospital to be treated for emotional distress. This emotional distress caused Martin to leave the team on October 28, 2013.  Martin’s attorney, David Cornwell, said in a statement issued late Thursday night that Incognito and other teammates bullied Martin to the point that he felt like he had no choice but to leave the team.

The final incident that occurred to cause Martin to leave the team was in the team’s cafeteria when he sat down to eat. After sitting down the other players he joined got up and walked away and he was left to sit alone. I don’t know about you, but this does not seem like something you do to a teammate. There were also texts from Incognito using racial slurs in threatening texts to Martin.

Incognito was told by coaching staff to “toughen up” Martin. The general manager, Jeff Ireland, told Martin’s agent that the player should “punch” Incognito to make the alleged bullying stop. HOW WOULD THIS HELP ANYTHING? “Violence is NEVER the answer,” yet the general manager said Martin should respond back with VIOLENCE. How would this help Martin? Isn’t it possible that Incognito [or other teammates] would bully Martin even more and harder? Also, if the general manager knew the tiniest bit about the possible bullying of Martin, WHY DIDN’T HE DO ANYTHING? WHY DIDN’T HE TRY TO STOP IT OR TALK WITH THE OTHER PLAYERS? This could have saved the Dolphins a lot of trouble.

Incognito is denying the bullying of Martin and said the threatening texts and racial slurs were just him playing around and that is their “brotherhood.” I don’t know about your friends, family, teammates, or whoever else you hang out with or see, but TO ME THESE DO NOT SEEM very brotherhood-like.

Even Incognito’s ex-teammate from the St. Louis Rams called him a ‘scumbag.’ Cam Cleeland, the ex-teammate of Incognito said he dealt with hazing on a very personal level when he came into the league. Cleeland said,

I’m not afraid to say that he was an immature, unrealistic scumbag. When it came down to it, he had no personality, he was a locker room cancer, and he just wanted to fight everybody all the time. It was bizarre beyond belief.

It is said to believe that the 30 year-old guard will reportedly consider filing a grievance against the team.

As a college student, I hear a lot about bullying, hazing, emotional distress, and harassment. All of these things which are frowned upon no matter what you are a part of. To see that this is happening in the NFL is beyond ridiculous and I thought that an NFL team would be supportive of all their players, just like a family should be.
