American Citizen *Video*

Muslims talk about being an american citizen and what it means. plus their opinions about it.
The Muslim Americans know who they are and what others generally think of their overview which is sad. The muslim extremists have been making a bad name for them and have been causing Americans to think that Muslims and Arabs in general are all terrorists. It's sad and horrible that we, America, let our vision be clouded by what little we see and we don't take into concoderation that these people aren't the only races/cultures/religions with extremists.
The people of America should try to be more open minded but also at the same time we shouldn't become weak with our thinking because those terrorists could get past us and cause more trouble for us.

Peace For a Day *Documentary*

Today we watched this video about this guy who wanted to make a day where the world could be at peace and it seemed to be like a crazy topic to talk about and no one wanted to really help. Looking around he only found actresses and actorels who wanted to help which was beneficial but probibly took longer then if he had politician friends. It took him a while to get the day passed but he managed.
I think it's sad that people don't even want to stop for one day out of 365 days a year for peace when it would clearly be helpful and even beneficial to all not to mention a good way to help kids.

South Korean Ship Sunk

The South Korean Warship was sunk by an unknown missile and now the South Koreans are blaming North Korea. The South and North Koreans have been having issues ever since North Korea changed to communism.

The South Koreans are gathering a group to organize a new system of national security and expect a plan to be issued in four months.

The South Koreans have formed evidence that North Korea was the one who attacked their ship and now they're trying to make North Korea suffer.

Marijuana's the in thing?

The use of cigarettes has been decreasing but now the use of marijuana has been increasing. 15.8% of tenth graders have said they used pot in April. And that's not including the rest of the world. Milan, Italy has been shootig marijuana constantly with 200,000 users claiming to use it as a medical need.
The number of drug use has been increasing and will probibly rise to a huge percent of the worlds population because of 1. Peer pressure, 2. Pure curiosity, and 3. Everyone else seems to be doing it.
Scientists have found that pot interferes with the brains memory center which makes you less likely to be able to memorize things that would naturally be simple. Also doing pot causes amotivational syndrome which is loss of interest in activities. Smoking pot makes you have "less fun" as well because if you're not excited or interested then that effects your ways of life.
Some do marijuana to releive stress and get away from situations but it makes matters worse. Our brains produce a chemical which helps 'buffer' stress. Doing marijuana prevents that production which in turn makes you stress out more.
The use of marijuana is just stupid unless it's for actual medical needs.
