Looters

Looting is the act of stealing when a crisis has taken place in a city. When nobody is there to stop them from stealing from the stores. The stores probably cant recover from the crisis anyway but the merchandise being stolen that just hits the stores like a double whammy. I think that some people are stealing because they take what they need and nothing else, so that they can make it. But some people aren't taking anything they need but they are taking are flat screens and phones stuff that they don't need to make it through the rebuilding of the city.I think that its okay to loot as long as you need what your stealing. there was a mom that was stealing diapers and wipes so that her kid could be clean. I believe you gotta do what you gotta do. But I do not believe that somebody should take advantage of the time of crisis and take flat screens and phones those are thing you dont need to survive. they steal don't have power in the places where hurricane sandy hit so you dont need electronics anyway. So in conclusion, if you need what is in the store that's closed go for it but dont get caught. But don't take anything that would just help you personally help you like stealing achohol or electronics

Mass shootings

 

I think that the world is getting worse by the day from shootings, bombings/ terrorist attacks. The world will continue to get worse unless we do something. Did you know the number of shooting go up every year and are at an all time high. According to the internet there is a mass shooting every 5 days. I don’t know about you but that is pretty bad.

                 A gunman killed six people and critically wounded three at a Sikh temple during Sunday services before police shot him dead in an attack that authorities are treating as an act of domestic terrorism.
Witnesses said the gunman opened fire when he entered the kitchen at the Sikh Temple of Wisconsin in suburban Milwaukee at about 10:30 a.m. CDT (1530 GMT) as women prepared a Sunday meal, sending worshippers fleeing to escape the barrage. The suspect was a bald, white man, approximately 40 years old, said Thomas Ahern, a spokesman for the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. Authorities did not release his identity. Four people were shot dead inside the sprawling temple. Three, including the gunman, were killed outside.

The way we can fix this is not gun laws or anything stupid like that but to get the word out about the groups that hate other races and abolish them like the scum they are. I don’t mean that everybody that doesn’t like another person is going to be put in jail. Therefore we have to be specific, the Nazi or the White supremacy groups every gang. Just to cut down on people filled with hate that have guns.

The thing is shooting are going up like wildfire and we can just take away guns cause then the people that are breaking the law are going to keep breaking it and keep their gums and shot people. I hope that we can cut down on these groups of people filled with hate and violence. In conclusion its not the gun that kills people its people that kill people.

Week old baby gets heart transplant

The world hardly believes in miracles any more but they happen all the time.
They happen all the time every day ,every hour, and every second. The thing is that people have no hope so when something awesome happens they think its lucky.

the story is about this week old baby that gets a heart transplant. this baby was born a whole six and a half weeks premature. she was transported from u of a to childrens when she was born. he had a syndrome called hypoplastic left heart syndrome. which is a rare type of heart disease. its when the left side of the heart doesnt fully develope. The doctor said the average expectance for a heart was sixty to ninety days which is way to long for a week old baby. But he didn't have to wait that long. the heart came up right when he turned 1 week old. the baby is now recovering from the surgery and seems to be doing well.

My connection is my brother. on March 10, 2012 I was with my brother and he was taking down a tower because that's part of his job and i was helping. when the were taking it down one of the gue wires broke and the 4 story tower fell with him on it... i though the was dead but after the choas of the fall he was at wrc med center. then he was flown to a hospital in little rock.( i forgot the name) and they said he had 2 brain bleeds, 5 broken ribs, concussion, broken hip, 2 broken bones in his arm and a crushed left hand. we didnt know if he was going to make it and it was very emotional time for me and my family. he is now only recovering from the mental part of the trauma he is nearly fully healed. the doctor said it would be two years till he was fully recovered from the fall

the point is that miracles happen all the time and unless you are right there when it happens you dont get the full effect of the awe that you see when your there. So whether it is a baby that needs a heart or a young adult goes through an amazing tragedy miricals do happen.

Who's being Blamed?

I am cold and prolly not going to make it for another 15 minutes in this ice cold water. it all happened so fast i dont even know how it happened. They said it was the unsinkable ship. I wonder how it happened. I can now tell you that we hit an iceberg. It was possiable to miss it to but the stupid captain Smith was trying to beat a world record and sunk us. He didnt even tell the passanges that they had hit an iceberg and were sinking. My sister made it to one of the life boats and was safe and sound. She wont have a brother anymore and i hope she makes it alright in life because i wont be there for her. It is so hard to think about forgiving him for his mistakes. i will forgive him though he went down with the ship just like many men did like me and few survived. its so cold, and dark...........

Forgiveness

A teenager takes his or her life to escape the adolescent pressures should be forgiven. The pressures of life are very hard to deal with, even more when a person is a teenager because of the hormones that teenagers have to deal with. The thought of suicide is brought in to everybody's mind and when a teenager thanks that there is no way to get out or that it's the only way to stop the pain. People always wonder how bad it has to be for them to even think about it, but teenagers are very emotional people and it is easy for a teenage to think about it. But to actually do it is a different story. But God says that it is a sin not to forgive. If you hate them because they did it don't hate them but hate the deed that was done. So every person should be forgiven no matter how horriable the act that was committed.

compassion

Compassion is like the unspoken obligation

for everybody that has a heart to help another person

the feeling you get when you look at a little boy on the street 

that is cold and hungry and you want to help

the thought that goes through your mind when you see a 

sick dog lying down in a cage at the pound

you get the best feeling in the world when you 

help someone and you know that you might have saved their live

its the thing that keeps everything going  

Compassion is like the shoulders that keep the world from falling
