What Happens Now?

2007-04-30T14:19:00.000-07:00

This blog was supposed to be a project, but this blog has given me a hobby that i like to do. My opinion about the project is that it made me learn something about the government. This is supposed to be the end of the project, but i want to expand this project into something that will
be benefical to the internet. So i will keep on going on with this blog and expand this blog for as long as i can. The next post will be on the blog in 2 weeks , but untill then, peace, and love to you all... i'm out.

Rich Vs. Poor

2007-04-30T11:09:00.000-07:00

This is the final battle,this is the biggest battle of them all, Rich versus Poor. Poor will always be on this earth. Poor is not necessarly not having money, poor is something that you lack.many People all over the world, in every country is poor. Poverty went it's highest when the great depression hit the U.S. and everyone lost everything. Poverty is just likee a diesease, it will grow untill we found a cure. There is a cure for poverty, hard work and deication will destroy poverty.
Now you can become Rich, the opposite of poor. Rich is just like i said about poor, it dosen't necessarly mean that you have alot of money, it means that you have a great increase in what you do. When you are rich, you can buy anything you want,even if you don't need it you can still show off with your items. But there is a loophole to being rich and poor, you can be one of the other when you start on one. You can be rich and become poor, and be poor and become rich.

AIDS In Africa Vs. MTV

2007-04-29T19:25:00.000-07:00

What's up Everybody, heres another battle, AIDS in Africa against MTV. Now, AIDS, besides from cancer, is one of the most dangerous dieases in the world. Every person in the world probally lost someone to AIDS, and i'm one of them. There is an epdemic in the world and it's hitting it's hardest in Africa. Sub-Saharan Africa is more heavily affected by AIDS than any other region in africa. 24.5 million people were living with HIV at the end of 2005 and 2.7 million people were infected with HIV during that year.1 In the past year, the AIDS epidemic in Africa has claimed the lives of 2 million people in this region. More than twelve million children have been orphaned by the epdemic. There are ways that you can help to destroy the epdemic, you can go to many websites like www.avert.org/aidsinafrica or www.AMREF.org to learn about the epdemic in africa. And here's the opponet, MTV, the big network station with all of the shows that we love so much to watch. Shows like Next, Super Sweet 16, Road Rules, Pimp My Ride and The Real World gives us a reason to watch television. Music Television was a culture icon during the 80's and 90's and now in the 00's we have so much to see on MTV, and now we have MTV2,hooray more shows for us. Do you remember what your mother told you when you was little "too much television is no good?"well take your mother's words very seriously,because MTV is not worth of your time.

Gun laws in the U.S. Vs. Celibrities and Their children

2007-04-29T18:26:00.000-07:00

This is another issue, Guns, we use them for plenty of reasons. One reason is that we use guns is for protection. But whatever the reasons ,they all come to one one conclusion and is this...THEY KILL! Now that we know the problem, what are we going to do about the problem? Okay lets make some gun laws. But not all of the gun laws work in the U.S., espically in the south. You are asking how this is possible in the south? Well here is an example, the Virgina Tech Massacare, How did Cho Get the Guns? On the newspapers, they show the guy who sold Cho the guns. The gun laws in virgina only lets someone buy some guns once a month, so if i wanted a lot of guns i would wait for a month to buy much more and do God knows what with them. now that we know that we can go on to the celebrities and their kids. The celebrities have gotten alot of publicity so far, but when they Had Children ,Theitr Publicity went Through the roof. One celebrity that had alot of attention was Anna Nicole Smith. When she gave birth to her daughter, her son died a couple of days later. Some Months went by, and Anna died as well, that went to the courts so the alleged fathers can fight for the daughter and the publicity overflowed. Another Celebrity or celebrities that had alot of attention was Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt. The Couple Adopted a child from africa and Some time later the had a child together, which the gossip magazines had a field day on the events. Both of the things that i've talked about seems ethier or not important, but the bigger picture is that we have gun laws enforced more than ever or the death rates by guns will be bigger than ever.

Deaths in the Middle East Vs. Summer Releases in 2007

2007-04-28T17:59:00.000-07:00

Let's talk about the deaths in the middle east, in which is tremondus. The people in the Middle east have to live in fear every day, because of the fact that there are sucidal bombers attacking the innoncent nerky every day. The recent bombing was on saturday in Iraq, a car bomb killed 58 People at the Shiite shrine in Karbala, Iraq. On www.cnn.com, you can see a Bystander crying at what it seems that he was just told that his daughter was killed in the bombing.
These events all circle around at one thing, the War in Iraq. which has been going on for a long
time and has affected anyone that has to be forced to be a part of this war. Now let's see some of the movies tht are coming out for the summer. We have Spiderman 3, which comes out on
may 4th, which everybody is talking about. You have Harry Potter, And thr order of the phoenix , which will probally be the movie of the summer, and the last book is coming out in the
same month, a double whammy. People WILL pay attention to the movies, because it is a culture that we live in.So Basically, I am saying That Entertainment won this round like buster douglas won over Mike Tyson.

The Virgina Tech Massacare VS. Reality Television

2007-04-19T07:26:00.000-07:00

Welcome back, it has been a while since i posted a new blog and a lot of stuff has happened for these past weeks. The first thing that i would like to talk about is the 2 of the recent events that has happened during this week The Virgina tech massacare and Reality television.The Virgina tech massacare happened on monday morning at 7:15 A.M. when Cho Seung-hui went on a rampage and shot and killed Two people in the Ambler Johnston Hall. Then at 9:01 A.M., he went to the 118 N. Main Street Post Office and mailed off a big envelope of his final words of evil to the NBC Network. After the mailoff, Cho then went to the Norris Hall At 9:30 A.M. and killed 30 more people, including himself. the news has shown the contents of the envelope that cho sent and they found a DVD showing pictures of him, posing him with guns, a hammer, and a knife. This has been called the most dangerous mass shootings in american history. Now let's talk about reality television, what do you think about when you see reality television, you think about stars that used to be a big hit in the past. People will know who won the american idol, but something that serious will be noticed, but you will be watching the American idol on Fox in a couple of hours. if you really pay attention to the shows, you will know that it's a pile of garbage. People who's carrer went down the drain and they need more money by doing stupid and redicilous task just to get money. That's is what american's watch, that is reality television, and see what do the people really care about in this scoeity and that are shows like Flavor Of Love.

My opinion & more posts on the way!

2007-03-10T20:44:00.000-08:00

Now i want to give my opinion about this topic, and i think that Americans do pay more time with entertatnment than world issues, because we look for something to feel happy about,but i think we look for too much entertainment. Yes we have wants, but we have to look at the big picture, we can put our wants aside for now and deal with these world issues to make this land of ours into a great place for everybody. Now i will be giving more posts on this war in the future but untill then i'll see you later...peace!

candidates to run for president in 2008 vs.New Software releases

2007-03-10T19:17:00.000-08:00

The Presidential elections in 2008 is just one year away and the candidates that are running to become president will affect the future of the United States for four years.Here's two of the candidates that wants to run for president, Hillary Clition And Barack Obama.Hillary Clinton has a lot of positive backgrounds to aid her for her run for presidency, if she wins the election, we will have the first woman to become president of the United States. Hillary was elected to the United States Senate in 2000 and she has been a national leader on homeland security and national security issues.Now here is Barack Obama, another running candidate for presidency,and if he wins the 2008 elections he will be the first black man to be president of the United States.During his eight years in the Illinois state Senate, Obama Has worked with both Democrats and Republicans to help working families get ahead by creating programs like the state Earned Income Tax Credit, which in three years provided over $100 million in tax cuts to families across the state. Let's look at the opponents of this important issue, the newest softwate released in America.In 2006 we were all on the edge of our seats when we saw the Nintendo WII and the Playstation 3. They gave a wave of publicity and Like moths to a flame, we were attracted to these new systems and we waited for days and days just trying to get these systems. And with the new games that are coming out for these two systems, they will have a lot of attention for a while.But we will still be pulled by the elections because this election will be heard out from the start to the finish.

Nuclear weapons in korea vs. Britney Spears

2007-03-10T17:14:00.000-08:00

On October 9, 2006, North Korea's Korean Central News Agency announced that it had successfully Completed their undergrount nuclear weapon test. North Korea has been creating plutonium since 1986. In 1994 North Korea "froze" its plutonium production program under the "Agreed Framework" with the United States. Under this agreement, North Korea shut down, but held on to it's main source of plutonium, the 5 megawatt-electric (MWe) reactor at the Yongbyon nuclear site.Since the freeze ended in 2003, North Korea has been both producing and separating plutonium at Yongbyon. As of February 2007, North Korea has a total estimated plutonium stock of between 46 and 64 kilograms of plutonium. About 28-50 kilograms are estimated to be in separated form and usable in nuclear weapons. As of this news gives the U.S some urgency to prevent nuclear warfare to cross the earth. Now let's see if Britney Spears has given a lot of attention to America. Britney Spears is giving a lot of people to look at during these past couple of months. Britney and Kevin Federline divorced and the custody for the kids which put a lot attention on her from Hollywood.Now everyone knows this stunt and Britney has been swarmed with attention and confusion about it, shaving her hair off and her checking into rehab. To my opinion is that the korean nuclear project wins this round, because this issue will affect everyone in America and North Korea.

The War On Terror vs.Movie Hits.

2007-03-09T20:44:00.000-08:00

The war on terror has been going on for six years now and we as americans have been in a large sphere of car bombings, murders, and threat tapes.We have all seen the news reports on the car bombings that took many lives of innocent citizens in the middle east during these past six years Which made a deep impact on the people in the middle east. Even in america, our boys that are going to war, some don't even come back because their ethier kidnapped, tourtured and killed or being bombed, so we all are affected by the war on terror.Now we can go to the opponet, the movies that were out during the past six years and did they overshadow the people in america? There were a lot of movies that pulled us in there attention, for example in 2002 we had spiderman which people loved and in 2006, Dreamgirls has pulled peoples attention from more important issues that will affect our lives. But even the movies can not block people from the truth, There are more important issues than movies that we can see on DVD with more features in a year.

Global warming vs. Anna Nicole Smith

2007-03-09T18:14:00.000-08:00

Global warming is one of the world's major problems that we have to fix or we will pay for it in the future.Global warming is caused by pollution that eats up the o-zone layer.If you saw the Al Gore movie about global warming you would want to do something to help with this problem. Now it's estimated in 2050, we will be in grave danger in the cause of global warming.Now let's compare this world problem to Anna Nicole Smith. Anna Nicole Smith has been a source for publicity and gossip during 2006. On September 7th, Anna Nicole gave birth to a healthy 6 pound, 9 ounce baby girl, which gave her a lot of attention on television,and newspapers.But then things turned out for the worst for Anna Nicole when daniel smith her 20-year old son passed away suddenly on the morning of September 10th, 3 days after Dannielynn smith was born. This gave Anna even more attention and gossip with all the rumors that went on during the months to Anna's death and even after her death, rumors spreaded like wildfire about her and the baby.It seems to me that Anna has gotten more attention than the problem on global warming and this can be a problem in America. link to http://www.ecobridge.org

Let The War Begin!

2007-03-07T07:20:00.000-08:00

The war on terror, the global warming problem, and other world issues, are americans really concerned with these problems? Or americans are intrested in the newest video game system or gossip about hollywoods most beloved stars. Most of our teens and adults in america are not even worried about the problem with korea and their nuclear missle experiment, but their more worried about the new i phone that is not going to be released in the summer. Americans are so consumed with entertainment, that they ignore the problems that can affect the world and themselves. This blog will show some recent world issues and articles in the entertainment business and see them "fight" with other and see which one will prevail and get the attention of americans.
