To the ground he must return

Who's at risk?

Countries such as the U.S should get involved in interventions with countries that are being currently threatened by genocide for several reasons. One being aren't we the United States Of America where we believe in freedom and rights? Of course we are, we deal with so much countries already and some that we don't need to even in the first place be sticking are noses into. Honestly if we can be allies to so many people and help one another out why not help these countries out that are facing even worse problems. We are so fortunate in this county and waste the resources we have to help one another. For example we throw so much food out and waste it and you have so many people become fat and greedy when we could use that extra food for places like Sudan; who are starving out there. We also have such a great military that could fight for enslavement of women and children by government-support militias. We as a country should be helping countries out like Bosina who are having ethnic cleansing like what the heck is wrong with these people if you are Bosniak or
Croatian then thats who you where ment to be and sadly people in this world are freaking sick and cant accept the fact that were different and we need people in this country to help protect people !!

what i learned

What I learned from these group presentations was that many of these criminals didn't really start off with a criminal background. what lead majority of these people to commiting crimes was for the money. It seems that they wanted hungry for some respect and to have a good reputation amongst others. In addition i actually got to learn about Bonnie and Clyde which was pretty interesting . i never new they were a couple i thought it was two ladies that worked together. I found out that together Bonnie and Clyde committed crimes together, stole cars and ended up dieing because they were shot in a stolen vehicle more than 60 times.

Evolutionism does not make sense

With all honesty I find it very stupid to say that life and the creation of this universe all generated from one thing and that thing came from another and so forth. That right there just gets me lost how can someone say that life came from something without a creator? Creationism on the other hand makes sense ,  its says that life was created by a creator and that same creator made these plants and trees and everything else. That the creator was the person who made mother nature to begin with. While Evolutionism just says were all made from the same thing ? last time I check we can move , talk and walk while trees don't they just stand there. And if there wasn't a such thing as a creator then tell me this why is it that so many people believe in a Creator no matter what Ethnic group you come from or religion.  Majority of  people believe that there is a creator that made everything. I feel that we should teach Creationism so that this nonsense of evolutionism would stop for once .

acrostic poem

Predestination is believed                                   
Original robots
Hell is where you'll go if you dont live our way
In to living the right way
Be like us 
In temptaion you fall
The life outside is evil
I nside you stay
Old Americans trying to find their way
No to fun

Rebls in life
Obviously we don't care
Against prohibition
Rejected the effects due to their actions
Indifferent about religion 
Not for living by rules
Getting wasted all the time

To live you need to have fun
What's fun with bounderies?
Explore the world
Not into doing whats right 
To us we can care less
Ignorante to many things
Everyone lives their own life the way they choose
See through my eyes and learn how to have fun
