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

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.

Had a holocaust talker today and I found it interesting except for the facts that i couldn't understand her and some of the pictures didn't seem appropriate for school, like one was of naked children and they looked like moving skeletons with skin, sad but not school appropriate, so i think the next time the school has a talker they look at any pictures they have and make sure they are appropriate for school.

What are the things that make gender matter?
In my opinion the only thing that makes gender matter is who gives birth to the baby. Everything else is by the individual, not gender. A couple of examples of this are doctors or professinal athelites, for the doctors, most people asume that when a man walks into your hosplital wearing a doctors coat he is the doctor and the woman are the nurses, this is not true, and for athelites most people assume that only men can play baseball or hockey or even football, again, this is not true, at the end of the day it shouldn't matter if you are a male female or somewhere in the middle, it is the persons ideas and goals that define them.
