Blog Post #8 The New Video Game Era

I do believe everyone by now has seen the brand new systems that have been released: PlayStation 4 and Xbox 1. I believe that if you have not seen the new video game systems you should look into playing one, or buying one if not for you then that special someone in your life. I myself have sampled both systems and have seen a considerable difference between the two, but I always leave out the third system because I believe it is for small children. If one wants to learn or play fun kid adventures I would definitely recommend the Wii. The two definite differences really between both of the other two systems are third party game rights and the internet options. First, third party gaming rights is a delicate and different subject most critics will not approach. The reason is that writing about have Halo on PlayStation to get better graphics, but then the backlash of all the Xbox fans boys will make the magazine or blog destroyed. Third party gaming rights in my near expert opinion should not exist and every game should be available for every system. Secondly, internet options have gotten severely out of control. First of these options, having to pay for a subscription to a service after buying the system and paying for internet now you have to pay for the service connection too, what is wrong with that right? Secondly, the companies are moving everything from games in person to downloads and less physical property, but are that really a bad idea? Yes, I like to be able to hold my games and what if you lose the download or even the password to your account then what is someone supposed to do? In conclusion, I believe that both of the gaming systems are fun and evenly matched, but I would go with the cheaper option which is PlayStation 4.

Blog Entry #7 The New Way to Food Inc.

 To be truly honest I have always thought about where my food has come from, but I have never wanted to know how it was made that way. I believe that ever process a food goes through should be semi-humane until i watched the movie Food Inc. Now that I have seen living conditions and even the inside of a slaughterhouse now I do not like the fact that animals are treated so inhumane and that we add so many chemicals to animal foods to grow them three times the normal size. The way food is supposed to taste and smell is really natural and the taste should make someone want more. I am reacting to seeing the animals abused compared to the chemicals that are used. The processed that is used to create most of our foods is amazingly gross and stupendiously wrong. I believe that animals should be slaughtered humanely and sparingly. The government should be ashamed of themselves for not being more involved, but not in the way they were portrayed being involved. The government should have more restrictions on this agribusiness and be able to do more inspections and have the right to shut down a factory if they are breaking major rules that are endangering lives. The relationship that is between the government and some of these businesses does not surprise me one bit. I understand that the lobbiest that are in Washington D.C. are their to make sure a business or niche of businesses arent shut down. I do know now that corn is used in so many more products that it makes me wonder, why we dont try and incorporate corn in a regular diet and see how it affects a persons digestion system? Food should not be as processed as people have come to known, but it does not have bad properties as long as eaten in proportion to someones diet. The word Engineered does not belong to the word food in any way, shape, or form. I believe if someone is going to be engineering food it should be to make enough so people are not starving in the world. When i saw the part of the movie that talked about bacteria it made me really cautious of everything i am feeding my own children. I have considerably changed my childrens eating habits to more vegatable and fruits, but i still feed them some beef and chicken. As Americans we should care about all the ways food could be processed, and the fact that people are dying because of the way animals are treated and processed just to feed us. I believe everyone will switch to more organic foods if they made the book "Skinny Bitch" into a movie. Please buy local and help change the way animals and workers are treated in these factory farms.

Blog Entry #6 The New Amendment

Lately i have been watching the news and reading different blogs and articles about our rights as American citizens. I do have many opinions, and my rights are certainly on the top of the list of what should not be taken away from me. The second Amendment is being attacked and "We" as American people are being told that "We" should be like the rest of the world and not be able to conceal weapons. I as a Veteran feel I have the right to protect my family and myself; as long as one can pass the appropriate background checks and safety courses. Everyone that is on the opposing side trying to take away these rights should think about who they are taking them away from. Most of the law abiding and lawful citizens are the ones that are being affected not the ones that are going out and killing people or robbing convience stores and banks. The news is so biased the stories that are told are all the bad. What about the Robbery Thwarted? If you read this or even look for the video these are people who know what to do and how to use weapons for good not evil. I do not like politicians who have never served in any public emergency position to tell me what i should or should not do! I really hope everyone knows that just because a law is passed does not mean that police are going to be able to gather all the weapons. The bad people who are using them for the wrong reasons are not going to give up that easily. If anyone would like to talk more I am always willing to., Thank you for reading my blog and have a great day.

Blog Entry #5 The New Future

Video  My reaction to the video is a very wide variety of feelings and emotions. I feel that our society as a whole have already gotten to this point with the rascals and scooters everywhere. I am not saying they are bad, but when you see people who can or should be walking not it makes me sad and disappointed that people would take an easy way out. What resonates the most with me is the need to yell at people not just because they let themselves get to that point, but because they use it as a disability and take away from the people who really need the help. I believe that obesity should not be a disability, for everyone has the ability to stay in shape it is their choice to not do so. I am a big guy and I do not let my weight hold me back I am doing something about it and trying to control it. This film shows how are society may end up if we do not make the necessary changes. As for the technology, it was way to over loaded with learning, even from a young age, about advertising and big corporations taking over how people eat, think, drink, and feel. I understand there are some medical diagnosis that would cause this action; however, most people do not have those medical reasons and need to get up and walk start with a walker if you need to. I believe we as a society can stop this from happening and i am one who is willing to motivate anyone and everyone i can. Also, i realize that people already rely on digital everything i hope it does not get as bad as not moving your arms and pushing buttons. I do not even believe in using blue tooth for the fact that people are getting away from not having to move around and actually do something, anything even a hand movement.

Blog Entry #4 The New Look on Law

 Police Deaths I am a huge supporter of the law enforcement and would hate if we no longer had any law or Marshall law. I have been watching the news more lately and it really upsets me. In the last three weeks, there has been three different occasions of officers hurt in shootings. I believe in a lot of different things, but death penalty is one that i believe is not harsh enough on the people that deserve it and then too harsh on the people that do not deserve it. I want to talk about multiple subjects including police shootings, but that is just an understatement compared to any crime against children. I believe as any crime against children should be treated as a major crime not just a misdemeanor or a ticket. I understand that children do need discipline but there is a time and place for everything. The worse part is that it is not discipline when you do anything of sexual nature to a child. This is when i believe we need to bring back the eye-for-an-eye law and let either the parents of the children hurt do the punishment to give them some sort of redemption for the hurt they have suffered. The reason our judicial system fails is because they are  more worried about smaller crimes like drug related then the major crimes or even unsolved crimes against children and sex predators. I know my words might not fit with what people think, but that's why it is an opinion, my opinion, that needs to be heard if not by the people that need to then by the people that want to know people are in this world looking for justice for children especially. I hope to one day be an advocate to women and children rights. Please stop the violence and go to work and earn everything you need don't lie, cheat, steal, or anything else to break the law. Thank you for reading my blog and have a great week.
