Controversial Issues

There are so many controversial issues in the world and people chose to base their entire life on fighting those issues. When really they are making the issue worse.

Some issues off the top of my head:

- Global Climate change

- Abortion

- Racism

- Religion

My thoughts:

- Global Climate Change:

It is happening, people can say it is not but there is proof. Take last year (2010) in the early months of last year it snowed in California. And the summer in North Carolina got hotter than usual. So yes the climate is changing and it always will be so just get over it.

- Abortion:

I say it is wrong, you are killing an innocent being. No one should get an Abortion but I think people should have a right to choose to get one. No one should be made to keep something cause there are certain times when abortion is needed. There are times when the baby can kill the the mother or the baby is a still born and so on and so forth. So yes I think it is wrong but I'm not going to say you can't have an abortion I don't care what the situation is because I do. I'm not going to have some women die because she couldn't get and abortion. Thats just wrong.

- Racism:

Okay this is a very touchy subject but I will say this. I was in K- Mart the other day and I was talking to some people in the story. This one lady had brought up that CMS was planning on using Martin Luther King day as a snow make up day. And I thought that they shouldn't do that and the same lady said that "All I have to say is that they don't have a holiday to honor white people." And all I could think was what did we do to get a holiday. I mean yes we are trying to "better" life and all this other stuff. But look at what we did to the African Americans and the Native Americans. We pushed the Native Americans off there land so that us greedy people could have more land. We stole something that wasn't ours and even though a lot of us now it was wrong we never really did anything to give back to the Native Americans. And the African Americans we took from their home land and made them our slaves. We worked them to death it no wonder that we aren't there slaves now or that they completely hate us.

Honestly come one America we claim to be the home of the free when really we are full of racism and hatred towards people that disagree with us. It just doesn't make any sense to me.

- Religion:

This is also a touchy subject. So, about six years ago I moved to North Carolina and as soon as I moved in everyday some one coming to my door asking to join there church. No at first I didn't have a problem with it but with a week of different people coming to my door it gets annoying. I am a Christian, some people would not call me one but I am. I have a church that I like but I will not push my religion on other people. I'm sorry if that sounds completely wrong but I don't care. People have stuff that they believe in and stuff they don't believe in. in some cases God is one of the things people don't believe in. And there isn't anything people can do about it.

Yes America was founded on Christian Principles but not everyone in American is going to be Christian. We are after the home of the free right? Well sometimes we don't act like it. Also another thing prayers at games or other places doesn't apply to everyone. You do not have to listen to it or accept it but do not sue someone for saying a prayer at a game. Just cause a prayer is said in your presence doesn't mean they are pushing their religion on you. Just deal with the fact that the world doesn't revolve around you. People can't go around and ask every person they meet if they believe in God and Jesus Christ before they say a prayer. Honestly get over the fact that people have different views on life and religion, don't try to change people because they think or act differently.

The Community

In one of my classes we are assigned a project to go out into the community and find a problem. When we find the problem we need to make a small documentary about the people that try to help that problem and the people that don't and other stuff to help raise awareness about the problem.
As soon as we got the assignment several things popped into my head. Well topics for my documentary anyway:
-Bullying in school
-Homelessness
-School needs

These topics are relevant to me and the community. I have been subjected to bullying, I see the homeless people everyday because of where I go to school. And there is an elementary school that is in there Second year here where I live and they are in desperate need of supplies. Its Cloverleaf Elementary (Google it) and at my school they have started a drive to collect supplies for that school.
There are so many things that need to be fixed in the world all they need is people to try and get them fixed. And there are many ways to do that, I encourage people to go out into the world and find a problem and try and fix it. And I want you to get back on me when you see a problem that needs fixing.
Don't just sit back let the world revolve around you, get up and do something.

Life

The other day I had gotten so much stuff piled up on me that I didn’t know what to do. And I was ready to lose control, I was son the breaking point. And some one said to me “If life was easy what would be the point?” - David. That got me thinking, what would happen if life was easy. I want to know what you think; what do you think will happen if life was easy?

If life was easy then learning things would be more difficult because the hard spots in your life always help you learn and understand certain things. So Life is hard because we need to learn things.

Life is never easy and people that say they have had an easy life then they haven’t lived. Life always comes with hard times, lessons, mistakes, and more. But remember ...

Ice Skating and ice sports

There are many ice sports: hockey, figure skating, partner figure skating, and other ice sports.

Figure skating is a beautiful sport. It takes a lot of balance and grace. When I was younger I wanted to be a skater and I always would but on socks and skate around on my kitchen floor like how I saw the pros on tv do. It wasn't pretty most of the time, I would always fall down qand hurt myself in some way shape or form. But eventually I got better not much better but better. I got a few moves down pat like a double axel and some spins. The axel was actually really painful to practice but I still got it, getting the air I needed was hard too do to the fact that I was in socks not skates. I have never acually ice skated and I dont think I will anytime soon; I dont have that kind of grace.
Hockey and ice skating are both olympic sports.

Music Taste?

Some one on my last post said maybe I should talk about my music taste, well i did a little bit on a comment but here is more information.

The List of almost all the artist I listen to:

Jonas Brothers

Lady Antebellum

Lady Gaga

La Roux

Rascal Flatts

Selena Gomez

Demi Lavato

Sugarland

Superchick

Shania Twain

Katy Perry

Avril Lavigne

Eminem

Boys Like Girls

Taylor Swift

Carrie Underwood

Chris Daughtry

And a lot more

A lot of people ask me if I listen to Justin Bieber and I look at then with a confused look and say "Heck No," I don't particularly like his music but i don't dislike it either. But I think soon he'll be forgotten, maybe not this year but possibly next year. But in show business no one is really ever forgotten there will always be someone somewhere that likes that one person.

And I like pretty much anything with a good message, take rap for example. A lot people don't like rap because they think they talk about the same thing. But take Eminem his raps aren't about drugs and sex like a lot are.

If you have any problem with my music taste let me know, it won't make me made you have a right to your own opinion.

Music

I recently bought a lot of music. My family was quite confused, which confused me because I told them that I had everything I needed.

My sister said, "Everything about her is music." And I agreed with that and disagreed with that because I like music but music isn't everything.

Please comment if you like music and/or if music calms you down or anything really.
