My future plans

After this year of school I plan on attending Shasta College and furthering my knowledge about computers and everything that I can. I am currently taking CISCO, which is a computer networking college class that i get to take early. I do not plan on going into the military, but something along the lines might change my mind, but it will have to be something really spectacular or I'm not going to join. Some of the reasons I would join the military or even consider it would be if I got to be a sharpshooter, or I got to work on computers and radar and be able to further my career that way. Other than that I just plan on working for a good company where I can make a decent amount of money with the knowledge that I have obtained throughout my school years. I hope by the time im 18 that I will have my own apartment, have my act together, have my own car, have a job and all that good stuff.

Nice Bailout, Now Pay For It.

I think that we should bail them out because of all the economic problems we are already having. I mean 700 billion dollars is a whole lot of money. With that money we could do alot with the world, we could educate people where its needed, we could build more attractions in our cities to get more popularity, there's alot of stuff we could do. But in returning this money, it could help alot, its either we do it now and hopefully the interest doesnt be so high. but if we were to wait longer, we would have to pay out more in the future. I also think that it's not cool to play with the people's money, I think that this case will be very drawn out because I'm sure that people are going to complain because it might lower minimum wage because of shortage of money, but what do I know, I'm just brainstorming. In paying this off it could put us in a bigger hole than we are already in. But at the same time I think that we should not bail them out, because they made the mistake, why not have them pay it for the rest of their lives. But thats just what I think.

How to fight binge drinking

I think that we should both lower the age to drink and not lower the age for drinking for many reasons. Its hard to pick a side on this topic because just about anyone can get alcohol these days. Now I will tell you why I think this.
Firstly, I think that lowering the age to drink would be a good thing mainly because it would stop kids from drinking so much so quickly because they are trying to do it under the radar so they consume it quicker and it makes them more drunk. If the age was 18, I think that alot of people would maybe be happier and not as mad at the government and the store owners when they try and come in and say theyre 21 and they get denied.
In another sense, I think that they shouldnt lower the age because people at a lower age are less mature and dont know how to handle it as well as older people. Alcohol causes lots of deaths, sicknesses, and lots of other things. If we were to lower the age to 18, someone could go out on their 18th birthday, get their license, buy some alcohol, get drunk, and kill himself and or others just like that. Alcohol isnt something to mess around with. I think that it is very serious and whichever choice we make to either lower it or keep it I hope its for the best.
I take both sides on this topic, it can go either ways. I just wouldnt know how to respond if someone truthfully asked me which side Id be on because I cant, I mean if i was to, I would lean more towards the side of not lowering it because we see how many people it kills and how many accidents have happened due to alcohol. But it can also make people more happy and have the relief of not snooping around to do it.

Price of Our Addiction

If you call "war" a solid plan, then yes, but I dont think war is the right thing that we need to get oil. I think that we need to get more allies and come up with more oil. Well, my dad drives slow and not alot, but when he lets me drive I tend to drive fast even though I know that I am using more gas that I need to be. We don't use a heater that much, so yes I can say that we have changed our habits. I think the best alternative is to find another resource that we can use that acts like oil, but something we have plenty of, something that will act as an inhibitor and make cars and other vehicles that need oil able to run. I also think that we should maybe find a better way to hide the oil, because its a soft spot for terrorists to attack and it could ruin the world if we had no oil. I think that the U.S. has enough smart people to be able to overcome this problem and fix it and handle it to the best of their abilities. Oil is very important and I do not think that we can afford to lose it.

Big Bang Experiment

I think they should turn on it mainly because they already have put all this money into this project, why quit because of a couple flaws, they should keep on trying and make it absolutely perfect so that it is able to work. But also in another sense I think that they should not continue, after reading about what the outcomes could come to be I am scared to think of what happen to the Earth, because we have no way of knowing what could happen, nature has its tricks up its sleeves. I just also think that it was a very big waste of money, we could have used the money for something else rather than trying to get just a couple seconds of something that is important, but there is other things that are just as important or more important that we could have spent the money on. I think it could also mess with time and the way that it is right now and that could be very bad.

Sir Palamedes the Saracen


Also knows as Palamede, or Palomides, was a Knight of the Round Table in Arthurian legend His father was King Esclabor, his brothers Safir and Segwarides also join the Round Table later on. He is introduced as a knight fighting when asked upon to compete for Iseult at a tournament in Ireland against a knight by the name of Tristan. In the end, Palamedes loses to please the princess. Tristan then spares his life but forbids him to bear any arms for a year and to ever try and hook up with the princess again. After her wedding, Palamedes rescues her servant, becomes a member of the Round Table, and is faced with a number of duels with Tristan, which eventually either end prior to a postponement or ended without a clear winner. Throughout their lives they share a love-hate relationship. Yet some stories reveal Palamedes background to be as followed: his father is a king of Babylon who is sent to Rome where he saves the life of the emperor. He then travels to Britian where he once again rescues and betrays King Pellinore. Many tales also have classified Palamedes as the hunter of the Questing Beast, which only the chosen can kill. However during the Grail Quest, he is released from his bindings, and with the help of two knights, Percival and Galahad, trap the beast in a lake where Palamedes slays it once and for all.
