New of the day

On comedy central an new show call key and peele. Its two African Americans with their own skit show that touches on several different controversial subjects. Such as slavery and Obama also just racism in the United States. Their show airs today at 11pm.
This show is said to be like shows before it. Such as the Chappelle show so it makes me wander how long this show will be able to stay running cause other shows like this one ends very quickly. And I hope this show is a success cause the actor deserve all the blessings of being on tv.

Question Of The Day-SOPA?

     SOPA is the goverment trying stop the taking of illgal any streaming music online. Which would be penalized with 5 years in jail or law suit. Also they want to shut down any website that supports or uses videos or music. This is not in affect yet but this is something thats trying to come to be.
     The positive thing of this the artists and actors/directors would be getting their money that they worked hard for. Also it would clean up the internet quite a bit with cause there is a lot of commercials on non legal sites.In my eyes thats about the just of things that could possibly come from this being an official legal thing.
    Now the negativ things would be so many people would be fined with jail time. Even the police would have to arrest themselves. Plus they would end up ending so many websites have streaming music and videos. And if those were to be shut down the companies would be brutally affected.
    In my opinion I think there should be a compromise like there is with J-walking its illgal but its looked over by the law there are some cases where you would be incrminated but nothing that drastic. Because everyone has done it is doing it and will do it. I truley belive this is something you cant stop.

Fog of War lessons

  1. Empathize with your enemy- Looking at the war from your enemies point of view to see what reasons their in war.
  2. Rationality will not save us- The thought that we could just be able to agree and end war so easily is not that simple.
  3. There's something beyond one's self- To realize that your decisions have an effect on others lives.
  4. Maximize efficiency-Basically this means to do what needs to be done thoroughly. 
  5. Proportionality should be a guideline in war- This is saying that if there's a way of doing things with less blood shed on are side and more on there's instead of the other way around then we should handle business accordingly.
  6. Get the data- Collect information accordingly.
  7. Belief and seeing are often both wrong-This is saying that when you believe your doing the right thing your going to keep doing the "right thing" so to speak. But if you seeing something and you perceive it as being "wrong" the you are going to try to stop it.
  8. Be prepared to re-examine your reasoning- Basically if you dig your grave be ready to lay in it in peace. 
  9. In order to do good, you may have to engage in evil.- To do the most good most have to do some evil, evil being what the world see's as "evil".
  10. Never say never.- You can never say never because no man knows the future.
  11. You can't change human nature.- In the end we are all humans and are human nature is flawed by sin so we will always end up repeating are self's through out life.

Question Of The Day- Occupy


1. What do you think the “Occupy Wall Street” and other “Occupy” protests are about? What do the protesters want?

According to yes magazine they are trying to you show that the 99% can be powerful actors and that we can come together around our own vision for the world we want. ( 99% It refers to the vast concentration of wealth among the top 1% of income earners compared to the other 99%, and indicates that most people are paying the price for the mistakes of a tiny minority.)


2. Who are the protesters? Describe who you think is protesting.


I think protesters are the ones who have lost their jobs and the others are the ones that support the cause of the 99% movement. And in my opinion is that most of the people there are people suffering from taxes and the economy.

3. Do you support or oppose this movement, and why?

I approve this movement because people are suffering and all they are asking for is help but what they get is pain for exercising their right to protest for something they see is a problem. I really don't approve of the way the government is  handling these protests.

4. Read one article in favor of and one article opposing the Occupy protests. Look on C-Span or CNN for these articles, and write down the links to each article.
