Its Called "....."

I support that statement all the way... because when that bad thing happens to someone its only because they treated someone wrong or did something that wasn't supposed to be done.
Its Karma!
And when they see that happen they say such and such like dag, I know this happened because such and such; I need to do better or change. My mother say all the time that I'm going to have bad luck because of the way I treat people. She be like "It'll catch up with you in the long run", but I say I'm going to do better. ha ha ha (I try)!
But my point is that its only Karma - so treat others and do things the right way and something bad will not happen to you.

Affairs!

- In a way I think that they shouldn't, but kind of they should (if they're helping out) because you should always help others. But if you the U.S was to get involved with another countries affairs when they were disagreeing with someone else then that someone else would maybe want war; and it'll be against the U.S and that other country. I also believe that if the U.S didn't get involved into other countries affairs the U.S probably wouldn't be how it is today.

*Nunn of UR Business..

Have you ever jumped into someone else's business? If so, why?
Yes I have, but only because the person was my friend, or the other person was lying or either trying to get loud and chump my friend out.
Under what conditions/situations is it ok or even necessary for you to get involved in someone else's business? The condition of someone trying to make my friend feel bad or either tell a lie about the situation when they know what went down.
When should people mind their own business? I think if its your friend and something ain't going right with your friend and another person its always necessary for you to jump in it; cause I know there friend would - that's how it is now a day. If your friend got a problem with somebody or a problem in general then you should be there and help out (that's what true friends do).

$.M0NEY.$

- To be honest with you, i think it is about the money. If you really think about it so many deaths and the worlds history is mostly over money. So yes peoples actions are driven by money; well some people. I must admit though... Money does lead to happiness; i can't speak for others but to me money is all my happiness along with love; it can get you whatever you want and need. Are the people that have money any better than those that don't? In a way they are because they have the proper material (money) to get what is needed for them to live, but in a way they aren't - everyone is the same.. and those who have money shouldn't think they are better than anyone that is very discriminative. People who have less the money work for what they do get, and to others money may come easy. The wealthy people get there money from their good paying jobs of ancestors who maybe had money, i don't know. I kind of think it was other people's work that made them rich.. or maybe suing. It would be nice for the rich to share with others, some choose not to. I mean its their money, so its their responsibility to do whatever with it.

Round 1 - and a Jump!

- My experience in this fight. the beginning me and this girl was cool or whatever until she started talking about on me on myspace it was really childish of her because she is older than me, so i wrote something too, yea i know i was childish back. But anyways she was liking my boyfriend; she called him once but surprise i had his phone - then so on and so on, my friend had this party and the girl was there. The girl started throwing hints and we came face to face of course something interrupted us and it was the end. Til the next day she called me and was like do you want to fight me and asking where i stay like she was brave/ big and bad, but at the same time she was scared. So of course i was like yeah we can do this; days past and mu cousin called and she was like that the girl said that she wanted to fight on the fourth of July so i was like okay!
4th of July came, i was out where we was suppose to be fighting at. She came with like 10 other people, (real scared). Hours passed it began we walked to the street and did what we had to do, i slipped on a rock and i don't what you want to call it but she thought she was hitting me but really wasn't or either her punches were soft; i don't know. And so when i was getting up her side of people just came rushing over at me someone pulled my hair, someone bit me hard on my back; still got the mark. I Had scrapes every where.. Yep, they jumped me. My cousin and little cousin helped though.
The lesson i learned from the fight was never go to anyone's territory let them come to you, cause there ain't no telling what might happen!

Growing Up..

-- Growing up can be both exciting and painful, how? Okay you're young you have to go through so many obstacles, learning to ride a bike - falling and maybe falling over and over again until you get it right. Me, my obstacle was riding four wheelers and dirt bikes but riding a bike was also one too.. i used to wreck a LOT, but i had to get back up and keep trying (that was the painful part). The exciting part was actually riding and enjoying the ride, i got older and better at it and i started learning and riding more like doombuggys, bigger dirt bikes etc.

Boston Tea Party!

What did you learn about life during the revolutionary era from reading this document?
- What surprised you the most about what you read?

I learned that it wasn't easy back then to pay taxes, but they still had to be paid someway or another. They could've have gave them another week or so to pay the tax for the tea instead of just wasting it and being low down. Throwing the tea overboard was not tolerable and even though they were doing that some still managed to stuff some in there pockets, though some got caught and were sent to jail.
What surprised me was that when some stuff some tea into their pockets they were sent to jail, it shouldn't have mattered they were wasting it anyways, least it was gone be put to use. And another was well something i didn't understand is why did they dress up as Mohawk Indians; what was the purpose? Something that was low down and surprising was after days/a day passed they really didn't want people to get any of the visible tea floating on top of the water so some men got into little boats and started beating it with oars and paddles.

|American - Revolution|

Did the colonists have their own natural rights? Somewhat, the colonists had rights that they approved of but then again there were some they really didn’t want to follow at all.
The actions that the colonists took to make their own government that would uphold their rights were going to parliament, either war, or protesting/boycotting. The colonists were kind of justified as breaking the law because when there were rights they didn’t obey like paying taxes/paying tax for tea etc. This soon became known as the Boston Tea Party. So, no there were rights they liked and some they didn’t obey of.
When since the American Revolution have Americans broken the law because they felt their rights were not upheld by the U.S. government? The 20th century, mainly blacks Americans. The actions that took place were for example not sitting where supposed to be sat, protesting, and boycotting. They were going to make sure that it is noticeable and that it gets attention.
Yes, the groups of Americans were justified in breaking the law, because they disobeyed what was supposed to be done and followed. They served their time and still continued to fight for what was best in the 20th century/American Revolution.
In the end, everyone felt they had to do what was needed in the world, and what was best even though their doing was wrong because they disobeyed and followed their instincts. But now mostly all is right!

Assignment 1: Should I Stay or Should I Go?

1. What motivates immigrants to come to the United States (today)? Consider what they lose and what they can gain in your argument.

- What motivates immiqrants to come to the United States is that they would either want to start over in a better place or either because there are better jobs in the United States. They qain better jobs etc., they lose really what they had at their oriqinal hometown; family/friends are left behind.
2. Thousands of Europeans chose to move to the British colonies. Some for economic reasons and some for freedoms. If you decided to immigrate somewhere, would you move for economic reasons or for freedom?
- I would move for both reasons, economic reasons because money is a number 1 priority in the world today and back then; you need money to survive. Freedom because i love to go to places and do thinqs, and they would problably have strict rules.
