When people think of bullying, they only see the physical version of it. Now that used to be the only kind and what could cause a few suicides a year, but now it is the verbal that is the problem. There have been so many cases of people being verbally bullied and then committing suicide. I myself have been a victim of this bullying and have thought about suicide. This kind of bullying causes people to feel worthless, unwanted and brings their self-esteem down. The old saying, "sticks and stones will break my bones, but words will never hurt me." is a lie. I would rather them break my bones then call me horrible names. Broken bones heal, but words never do, they are emotional wounds. Emotional wounds never heal because you forever remember, and never know why.

There was a case out British Columbia, and we all know about it. It is the Amanda Todd suicide, and do you know why she did this. She was bullied. Both verbally and physically. She was bullied so bad that she felt worthless and unwanted. She felt that everyone was against her and used her. This is a question to anyone out there who bullies someone, both physically of verbally. How would you feel, if it was happening to you? If kids were calling you stupid, retard, or said you have sex with animals. It hurts, I know. It's happened to me since the age of nine, and it still happens. The worst part is that even after she is dead, the kids are still going. They say she deserves it, that she was asking for it. Nobody deserves to be bullied and nobody asks for it. I think it is sad, that kids were such, Scheiße Köpfen.

Zugzwang, year one

21/3/2013

 
Well, here we are. The end of the first year and it was a dozy. People dying, people being poor, and why? Some blame the government, some blame other citizens. I do not blame, however. Sure the government screwed up in some places, and others did to. Here is what is say to the people who are blaming, fix it. Get one of the jobs, do or get stuff for Mr. Kemp, make the money you want. The government can not help you since there are no taxes.  
Another thing is, do you think you could have done better. It was the first year and we are just humans, we make mistakes. I forgive them and like I said at the town hall meeting, I saw some of this coming. I saw the greed and the betrayal.
 
Today we had the town hall, it was very disappointing. I say this because a lot of people didn't say anything at all and some of the few that did had very weak arguments. Now I'm not saying that we all had things to say at first, but as it continued there where lots of subjects for my classmates to give their opinion on. Another thing that was disappointing was that almost everyone that said anything blamed the government for the about forty deaths that will occur during this year, but it is not the governments fault. I believe in this one saying that my father always says to me, and his father said it to him and so on, "Only YOU are in control of YOUR own life". I believe everyone should understand what this saying is well, saying. Even if this is just a simulation, you will lose family members, but who is at fault for that. Human nature is to blame others, from burning your food when they took the pet out to your friend spending your money on you. If you are reading all of this here is another side to these examples. You could have watched your own food and who gave your friend your your money? To every story there are two sides. In the case of our meetings main topic, the government not caring for the people, let me ask you this. How are they supposed to?  The opposition did not pass the tax bill, therefore the government has no money to spend on welfare or to buy food for the people without it. So, after the bill was not passed, people who could not afford the food couldn't get help from the government. Another topic was people had more power units then they were supposed to, but again, why blame the government? They followed the bill that was passed for the power and here is that bill.


Bill Two: 
Electricity & Power  
Appendix One: The Distributor of Electricity & Power  
I: The cost of power will and shall not exceed $100.00/unit
II: Power must be distributed to all that ask and may not be withheld for any reason, restrictions to one per person.
III: The Power plant may be sold, but not to exceed the price paid & all offers must be considered, unless the power plant is owned by the government. 
IV: Trading will be allowed as long as the unit traded is equivalent to $100.  
Appendix Two: The Government  
I: The government shall not intervene unless power is being withheld.
II: The government will inspect the price and quantity of power being sold.
III: Should the government own the Plant the same laws and regulations apply as if the plant were owned by a private citizen.

So why are the people blaming the government!?!? People who I shall not name had two, I know, and the government sold one per person and nowhere in the bill is it said that people with farms or buildings are obligated to have power. It was up to them to buy it.

I am going to end it here because I'm out of things to go on about, but I doubt this will be the last time I write something like this.

Dumb Policies

    Hi there, I have been watching a YouTube channel called The Young Turks and they have some very interesting pieces. They do YouTube videos on news stories like kids getting suspended from school for saying no to drugs or teens getting arrested for raping a McDonald's order and leaving nicely after being told to.
    The last one I watched was about a teenage girl getting suspended after saying no to drugs and The Young Turks believe that she should not be suspended, frankly I side with them. Why should a student be suspended from school for saying no to drugs when someone put the drug which was an anti-depressant . When she gave the pill back she made the right choice. The administration however, thought other wise, and I quote, "...even if she touches the drug it is possession...and if she had gone and told a teacher right away there would have been no difference."
    I believe this is non-sense, if someone says no to drugs they should not be punished. I will post a mobile YouTube link to it at they end of this blog.
    If you do read this I would like you to leave a comment and and tell me what you think of this story, and check out The

Gaming

6/3/2013

 
When I mention video gaming to people I bet you can guess what games they think of first, games like Call Of Duty™,Halo™ or other games. I do enjoy those games a little, but there is one thing that I always think about when I buy a game, especially "war games".

How realistic it is. For me, I wish to go into the military when I'm 18 years of age, but the one thing everyone tells me is, "It's not like the video games you play". I know this, I've seen the helmet-cams of soldiers, but there are realistic games out there actually, and these game are, in order of less to most, Battlefields™ (1943™, bad company™, bad company 2, and Battlefield 3) and the ArmA series (Arma™, Arma 2, and the newest Arma 3).

With the help of these games I believe that I will be better equipped in dealing with anything my opponent or my countries opponent will throw at us. For in the Call of Duty series it is most unrealistic. Some examples of this are: bullet damage, bullet ballistics, equipment, and the guns and attachments. For the bullet damage it takes about half a magazine to kill an opponent, where depending on where you hit him it should take 1-3 shots for automatic assault rifles. One shot for snipers (where Battlefield fails) and 1-2 shots for shotguns (but too unrealistic ranges). For bullet ballistics, they should be affected by weather and the elements, like Battlefield or the ArmA series. For equipment, some of the damage for grenades or stun grenades are too much, and the range of hacking equipment is too much and too powerful. For guns and attachments, some guns are more powerful than others, like in the newest installment in the Call of Duty™ franchise, Black Ops II, there is one gun called the (SPOILER ALERT) AN-94, is realistic with its 2 shot kill but in comparison to the other guns in the game, it is WAY too over-powered. The attachments are sometimes reasonable except for the MMS in Black Ops II, or silencers reducing power in all Call of Duty games since Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare™ . I'm not going to get into the Halo™ series because I do realize it is a game where the guns are very futuristic and it has aliens in it.

I'll finish this here because I feel like I'll be boring some of you, but just to finish it off, here is a simple gaming equation for me: real+fun=A++ rating.
