Final project post
This is my last required post. For English Honors IV we were required to make a blog and put in 8 entries so I thought I'd tell you a little about myself. I am a senior in high school, I live in South Florida, and I love ice cream. Politically I lean a bit more to the right. I'm doing well in school in the top 10% of my class. I enjoyed making this blog and think I might continue with it even if I never get any responses. It is fun to do and so yeah. I really don't know what else to say. Shout-out to my teacher Mrs. G. I hope you enjoyed reading my blog. If not well thanks anyway for your time. I'll fill the rest of this post in with pictures of puppies and political stuff now.
HA GAAAY
This topic is about gay marriage. Now if you have read my previous blogs you can tell I'm a conservative. So this might surprise you, I don't hate gays! YAY! I don't care if gays get married or not. I am not for it but I'm not against it either. I say people should do what they want. I'm a Christian and Christians are taught to love one another no matter what. We're all sinners and if gay sex is a sin then what is that one extra sin to all the other ones that we do? I don't know where Westboro Baptist Church got the idea that "God hates fags" or that "God hates America." They believe that anyone who is not part of their church is basically going to hell. They think gays will all go to hell and they think what they call "fag enablers" will go to hell. But the Christian faith says nothing about going to hell if you do a certain sin or other. The Bible clearly states that if you profess with your mouth and believe in your heart that God is real and that Jesus is his son and died on the cross for ours sins that you are entered into the kingdom of heaven. So wether you're gay or you committed adultery or rolled your eyes at your parents or said he lords name in vain, you can still make it to heaven according to my belief. And for those that don't believe, Christians are taught to love them too and pray for them too know matter what they believe. Any person who claims to be a Christian but then goes on to talk about how they hate a certain group of people wether they be gay or Muslim is being a hypocritical critical Christian. So who am I to scold someone who is gay that gets married? The Bible says, and I'm paraphrasing, not to point out the speck in someone else's eye when you have a plank in your own. http://biblehub.com/matthew/7-3.htm This of course meaning not to judge someone else because there is already so much wrong with yourself wether or not you realize it.

Gun control
Guns: for whatever reason, some people hate them.
People claim that guns kill people and that if we ban them or certain types of them that everyone will be safer.
If you ban hand guns, how will I protect myself against rapers and muggers?
If you ban shotguns, how will I protect my household from burglars?
If you ban high powered rifles, I will I hunt for my food?
If you ban assault rifles, how will I protect my store from gang raids?
If you ban my other guns, how will I protect myself from my own government and my freedoms?
A large portion of America owns guns. Only a small portion of American gun owners have ever used a gun to kill another human being. And if guns weren't around, Criminals would kill their victums anyway. Guns don't kill people. People kill people.
Well then what are proposed solutions to gun violence? There is no one cure all method to stop gun violence but in order to to curb the damage I propose that we increase funding towards education, create incentives for students with low income families to show up to school and learn, and work on quickly finding the mentally ill and providing them with the help they need so that they don't shoot up a mall or a school due to schizophrenia.
People say "well you don't need 20 rounds of ammunition," but what happens when 5 armed burglars try and attack me and I miss a lot? Also, limited rounds of ammunition in a gun won't stop a mall shooter. He would just pull out another gun.
When Texas was trying to introduce the idea of allowing teachers to carry guns to school, the world went crazy. People said well what if the teachers shoot up the school? If a teacher wanted to shoot up the school he would do it anyway. Some teachers said well if I carried a gun and a shooter came in here I would blind fire and shoot my students. That is the most retarded thing I have ever heard. First of all, the law would allow teachers to carry guns not force them too. Secondly, using a gun isn't hard and if you can't use one you shouldn't own one. Some teachers said well what if my students take it out of my desk or are frightened by the sight of it on my hip? It's called a CONCEALED weapons permit. You conceal it on your body where no one can see it. Hand guns fit well in fanny packs, back pockets of cargo shorts, and on the ankle under pant sleeves. If I was a teacher I would have a gun on me at all times wether the law was passed or not and no one would ever know until the day that some punk ass shooter decides to pull a gun on my campus.
Just some opinions. There are elements to gun control I like like the waiting period when you buy a gun. So yeah. Tell me what you think in the comments.

Well crap
I heard that John Bohner threatened to shut the government down again if Obamacare doesn't get repealed. Hasn't he learned that that will just cause our economy to go to what is pictured above? Hasn't the Republican party learned that their approval ratings will only get lower and lower. As a Conservative myself, I don't like what Obamacare has to offer but it's a bit to late to do anything about it now. Republicans should be working to win the next election, not on sabotaging the country and blaming Obama. If the Republican party is to do anything good in our future they need to win the long run battles, not threaten to ruin our economy over bad policies from the Obama administration. Some people have questions as to what shutting down the government actually does and if it's really a big deal. Well you see, while the government is shutdown, people with government jobs that are considered non essential workers get furloughed and are not aloud to work, people that are considered essential workers have to show up to work without pay and don't receive payment until the government is no longer shut down, and national parks are closed. They usually get paid for the time they worked after the government shut down is over but that is up to a vote by congress. Speaking of congress, politicians in the house and senate still get their full pay for the full duration of the shutdown. So yeah, shutting down the government is bad.
