  1. ~Nicolas Winding Refn's 2011 film 'Drive' is a perfect example of style over substance. It's a work that focuses too much on being flashy and ends up being pretentious while thinking it's clever.

    ~'Drive' is a fantastic piece of cinematography, that is able to give off it's own style that never distracts from the metaphorical and modern spin on and old, classic fable.

  2. 1a) Health problems will always keep me from happiness and success.

    1b) Even if you have health problems you can accomplish just as much as someone who does not have health problems or even more.

  3. Unknown to most the native Florida manatee (west indian Manatee) is endangered. They live in the fresh water spring rivers throught Florida. Their numbers are declining because of boat propellers hitting and eventually after an excruciating process killing the manetee. Because mantees are naturally curious creatures they are hit by a multitude of careless boat owners.

    Boat owners are not the cause of the decline of the native Florida mantee (west indian manatee). Just because there are a few careless boat owners dosen't mean one can blame the Florida boat owning community as a whole. There are a multitude of other factors that weigh in on the manatee decline in Florida.

  4. I insist the fact that the whole human population should be vegetarians. Why don't people cringe in disgust when they peer down at their steaks? That piece of meat used to be a living, breathing animal! May I add that this creature did not do any harm to anything or anyone, it was simply bred to be killed and served for dinner. Some dietitians believe that we do not need all these fatty meats in our daily lives and can get protein in many other ways. Meat is not a necessity, we can easily live without it!

    Don't conform to the new vegetarian/vegan trend, animals are on the food chain for a reason! I must emphasize on the fact that we, as humans, were born omnivores. We must not leave ourselves to only consume produce. In the wild, animals hunt down each other all the time to feed themselves. Doctors say that there is special fats we need from meat to function correctly. Unless you want to take supplements every day, I encourage you to be omnivorous!

  5. Statement 1 - I personally believe that women have the right to choose to abort their unborn child. Think of it this way, if you were a woman who was carrying the child of a rape, abusive significant other, someone who completely disgusts you, or perhaps the child of a mistake. Would you want that pregnancy? Would you want to carry that child? Would you want to keep it?

    Statement 2 - I personally believe that anyone who would take the life of an innocent is a murderer, plain and simple. Isn't abortion just another form of murder? One that targets someone who is helpless and unable to protect themselves or to stand against their own death? An unborn child cannot even plead for its life, how is taking any chance at a life away from them okay? Everyone should have the chance to live, and no one should be able to take away that chance because of a mistake. Mistakes should guide you to make better choices, not become a murderer.

  6. I believe that two people of the same sex should not be able to marry because it is against my religion. to me it seems morally wrong and sinful that some one of the say sex would be together. in the past they bible says that a man who lays with another man should be stoned for it is an abomination, as it is to day.

    I Believe that gays have the right to marry because for one you can't help who you love and no one should tell you who you can and can't marry, there is a reason we don't have the type of match makers from the past. Lastly, gays should be allowed to marry because the first amendment says that "everyone should be treated as equals." so if one person is allowed to marry someone of different sex, yet another person can't because they are of the same sex. Then I don't believe that's being treated as equals. from my perspective, it's like saying a black can;t marry a white.

  8. Money is the key to all happiness. Without money we cannot buy what we want, go places we want or enjoy the finer things in life. Without money everyone would be unhappy because the finer things in life aren't free

    Money is not the key to happiness. Money teaches us greed and desire for things that only bring temporary happiness. Money cannot buy us true friends or true love and without these things you will always feel empty inside.

  9. In our society we have the police to protect and serve. It is their job and duty provide safety to themselves and the citizens of the United States of America. They are provided with guns for a reason. Do we not expect them to use them? There is people all over claiming that police brutality is an enormous issue we face in the untied states. Those who claim that the police are out of bounds by using force to protect and serve sure would have a different outlook after their lives are saved.

    In our society we have the police to protect and serve. They are given a handcuffs to hold criminals, a taser and pepper spray to stun or stop the criminal, and guns to use in extreme measures where there life is severely threatened. Taking another persons life should be the last resort in any police officers line of work. There is people all the time unarmed and armed who are gunned down like dogs in our streets for minimal reason. Whatever happened to the police that gunned down 35 year old Antonio Zambrano-Montes after reporting him armed with a rock? Nothing happened to the three police that chased him down, pushed him down, and shot him down in the town of Pasco, Washington. He was shot 7 times in the chest with pistols, twice in the back, and shot in the head execution style as he lay crippled on the ground. Police brutality is not a joking matter and is escalating as we proceed through time.

  10. In 2014, the Pew Research Center ran a poll and found out that over seventy percent of adults use social media on a daily basis. Adults run the world and lay out the path for future generations. Not does an adult's words affect a member of today's youth in person, but now it also does on social media. Older generations need to truly think about what they are saying and who they are influencing and how.

    According to a post by Pew Research Center in 2014, over seventy percent of adults are currently on social media. Some may argue, that social media is just for teens and adults are ruining it. However, adults are a huge influence on today's youth and they can use social media to check up on their children or even to inspire through posts and pictures.

  11. I believe that every kid above the age of 14 should have a job. A job teaches the the young teen to learn about responsibility and action for there later years in life.
    It also teaches the kid to use what little money they have wisely.

    I believe that a kid should not have a job. Simply because of the fact that he/she is young and should enjoy the young years of there lives. Instead of being at some boring job and making barley enough money for gas.

  12. Dress codes promote rape culture and sexism towards women. Teaching males its okay to come on to a women because how she dressed provoked you is not okay. Yes I realize you can see my shoulders and legs they are a normal part of the body. I'm a 16 year old girl. If you're sexualizing me you are the problem.

    Dress codes need to be mandatory because without them some kids would get out of hand with the outfits they wear. By showing to much skin and being too reviling women are becoming an easier target for men. We need to avoid that situation before it happens by making a dress code.

  13. I believe stricter gun control laws are by far the best way to lower crime rates. With public shootings at an all time high, it is clear that guns are the deadly weapon of choice for these criminals.

    I contest that stricter gun laws will supposedly lower crime rates. Instead of punishing all responsible gun owners, we as a society should focus on the reasons behind these shootings.
