Even More Hot Topics


I think procrastinating has become a real habit. 

For that one person that is supposed to comment on my blog this week I apologize because I bet you are really annoyed that this is so late.

Infact I don't think you are even going to read this introduction part because you will be in such a hurry to leave a comment that you will just scim.

May I just say that I am ok with that.

Have a wonderful day and please learn not to procrastinate.

Thank you!

No Nukes on the Korean Peninsula

After reading this article it makes me happy that America is armed and ready if anything where to occur. It is also is slightly unsettling to think that such a strong power like nuclear bombs exists in our world. 

Thinking about if a nuclear warfare was to ever actually break out and the whole world being destroyed is a rather depressing topic to comprehend. I understand south Korea’s want to make a nuclear bomb, but I agree with the article where it states that they would be better investing their money in something  else that would help them enhance their security. 

The reason I agree is because  the use of nuclear weapons are deadly not just to North Korea but the elimination of the whole world.



A War Before and After

I really liked this article and it was really touching. I don’t think I can even begin to comprehend what it must have felt like to have fought in the Iraq war. The stories and memories that each of these soldiers share makes me feel so grateful for living in a country where men and women have literally died so that I can be free. It is a selfless act.  An act taken for granted to often.

Another thought that I had as I read this article is that these are actual people who wrote this. They each have families. Sometimes when you see a list of reported deaths and casualties in a war it means nothing to you, it is only a number, but not to those families… they  have lost a loved one. They lost a son or daughter, mother or father, husband or wife. This is something that I need to remember every day as I put my hand over my heart and pledge allegiance to the flag.

This article also reminded me that just because the war was over didn’t mean that life would all of a sudden be easy for the veterans that had fought in it.

  1. :) You know just what to say without making anyone blow up. You show your personality in what you say, and I think that is important. You do it really well- with your dear personality. Good job!

  2. I like how you talked about a certain theme and tied it together somewhat.

    Nice flowchart, it works well... and I might say your TKAM post is absent.

    This post is excellent and well reasoned and related too.
