Torture

         Is punishing someone or something that causes pain. It's inflicting  pain and agony to get unaddressesed questions, it's mostly used on terrorist. Being crushed, burned, water boarding, sleep deprivation, breaking finger or certain body parts, etc... Torture always been part of the federal, state, local, or any government branch policy. It's necessary, it can help get useful information to save lives before a tragedy occurs, but also we can torture someone, who doesn't know anything and it ,may result in death and their bloods would be on our hands.  Is it justified?   Who gives us the right to inflict pain on someone?

                              Shootings

        In class we discussed the mass shootings that's been occurring throughout the years. A recent tragedy in Newton, Ct, 26 people, mostly 20 students between six and seven years old were killed at Sandy Hook Elementary .  During the summer , the Aurora shooting took place in a movie theater at the premiere of the Dark Knight Rises in  Aurora, Colorado, 12 people and 58 were injured. The shooting at Virginia Tech losing 32 students.  Also, the Tucson, Arizona shooting, the gunman slaughtered  six others and shot Gabby Gifford in the head, but she survived. This wasn't a mass shooting, but the Trayvon Martin killing. These tragedy opened our eyes as a society and impacted the victims families and America. Everybody doesn't need to have access to  guns, it puts society at risk. We don't know who's crazy or have any problems. You can go buy a gun at Walmart if you're 18 and older.  Gun's shouldn't be that easy to get, we need to take control. America needs stricter gun laws, so these tragedies won't occur or just get rid of them. Why does America need weapons? so, they an fire them at innocent people? Their is no good reason why? Gun's is an act of violence, and we don't need to be losing our youth who hasn't even lived their lives through the dangers of people having handguns.  How many times do we need to lose lives over gun violence. When the elderly dies we lose our past, but when children die we lose our future. 

                                                      Love is in the Air 

                 Happy Valentine's Day Everyone. Hope everyone's enjoying  there day with their significant other and love ones. I do love holidays, but I I feel that Valentine's Day is a made up holiday. You shouldn't show the one you love for this only day how much you love them, it should be everyday. You can give them a gift whenever and show love and affection throughout however long you been with each other. So, just don't show your lover you love them and appreciate them on this day, but acknowledge them everyday  especially you men.  :) Have a good Valentine's Day.
