I have always been a gun enthusiast since I was a child; I grew up hunting and target shooting. I never thought twice about someone using them for bad; I thought of it as something fun to do and it put food on the table. In the wrong hands it could be bad. There are some people out there that have no good intentions for them, which is why people are going crazy for gun control because they wanna stop these mass shooting. I agree that those need to stop. If people do the research on the people that have done the shooting they would find that all of them have a mental illness. Now I think they are attacking the problem the wrong way. Do your research well on a topic before you go hating on it and taking away peoples rights as an American.  I believe that gun control is good in some ways like background checks and having guns registered. Now they are going to the extreme of saying all guns are bad they need to be gone. They are making laws on top of laws which really is only keeping g...

I agree and disagree with what the speaker had to say about texting. Texting is changing the way everyone communicates and not always in the best way. Some people will text someone that is sitting right next to them, which is quite ridiculous. On the other hand texting makes things easier and I agree it is like a new language because old people don't understand the abbreviations and emojis. I think there is a very strong argument on both sides, because of how useful it can be. Like would you rather call every person you want to come to your party, or would you rather just send a group text? Its kinda like one generation against the other in the debate. The older people think texting and anything involving technology is a bad thing for lots of reasons. Which is some situations they can be right, like driving is definitely more dangerous now. While the younger generation grew up in it and really that's all they know, I think it makes a big difference to have grown up know...

I think that remixing something is okay long as you have permission from the owner. I do not think it is good to steal other peoples work to make your own. To me it seems like you were to lazy to come up with your own idea.

The idea of Christmas always gets my family excited my dad puts the tree up in October because he likes it so much. We usually either go to Florida to visit family or they come see us. If they come see us it's usually just my Aunt Karen, Uncle Lloyd, and my Grandma Hodge, because we live 11 hours away. We have a huge meal with steak, turkey, corn, basically anything you can think of is there.  I myself really like Christmas I think it is a great time to meet up with family and everybody is happy it is probably the best holiday of the year. You get to decorate the tree give out presents and get presents and have a good time.My favorite thing for a meal is steak medium rare, ribs with spicy barbecue sauce, and a little bit of seafood like shrimp and crab is a perfect meal. Then the desert: everybody usually brings a turtle pie or key lime pie because we all like it or a chocolate cake, then we get vanilla ice cream. I'm not big on dessert, but it is really good. My Aunt Vickie us...

To me creativity is very important. It is how the world stays evolving people create new inventions that keep the world going. If it wasn't for creative people we would be no where. Although if people didn't learn basic skills they would not be able to do a lot of the stuff to be creative. Such as inventions like technology or the car, neither of these inventions could've happened without knowing some basics of mathematics and other things. I think in school they should offer some opportunities for people that would like to take more creative classes for people who have creative minds.  

     Little details make some of the the biggest differences on bike performance, and durability can cause you to win or lose a race. For example, if a bike's engine blows up on a jump, it could cause you to wreck because the bike loses all momentum. Also if the suspension goes out on the landing, it could cause the bike to bottom out and this could cause the rider to flip over the handle bars; I have had this happen to me a few times. Which is why riders should always check everything on there bike before they ride, it is a racing machine and there is no guarantee on how long any of the parts will last. This can be a serious problem for people who are not mechanically inclined. I know this from experience because I bought a brand new bike last year, and they do not come with warranty's from the manufacturer, so soon as you buy the bike if you take it home and the engine blows up you have to have it fixed th...
