THBT the US should not pull troops out of Afganistan.

Good luck!

See you all Friday :)

Transformers and America

After watching Transformers: Dark of the Moon, I realized that Michael Bay made a big emphasis on human rights and enslavement. Also, the plot clearly reflects the American revolution. First of all, like Alan has mentioned, Optimus and Sentinel Prime speak a lot over freedom of the humans from Megatron's grasp. Also, the entire plot of the movie, in my opinion, reflects the American revolution in the 1770's. For example, Megatron resembles King George as the ruler of America, or, in the movie, the ruler of planet Earth. Then, Megatron brings his entire fleet, even his planet to Earth to enforce the humans. I also noticed that the Autobots were named "rebels" when Sentinel Prime gave his speech to the leaders of Earth. Then, once again, the autobots claim that they fight for freedomof the humans.

Overall, transformers was a great movie, but the excess amount of action, explosions, and fighting was a little unecessary.

Links About Transformers 3 Patriotism

I forgot to say this. Optimus Prime mentioned TONS of things about FREEDOM FOR ALL. He says to Sentinel Prime that "You were the one that taught me freedom is for all living things" or something like that. (I don't exactly remember what he said)

I found a couple of link that I THINK relates to the patriotism thing Ms. Krissy was talking about

The negative portrayal of Muslims and a VERY patriotic worldview.

Transformers 3 Dark of the Moon (or something)

Hai guyz! I just watched Transformers 3. First off I would start out by saying that was a good movie, mainly because it was humorous and I got a couple of laughs.

Anyways, I don't know what to say about the patriotic thing. I didn't really pay attention XD.

Okay so I guess the fact that even though the Decepticons (or something, correct me if I'm wrong) outnumber the Autobots like 1,000 to 1, the Autobots still fought on..? I mean, aren't Americans supposed to be unrelenting and persistent when fighting?

And before the fighting started, the Captain guy gave a speech to the soldiers and he said som3thing like "THE WORLD NEEDS YOU NOW" and gives like a patriotic speech.

By the way, when Megatron or some Deceptic0n blew off Lincoln's statue I was like wow.......really?

Week 2 Debate

Hey guys it's me Alan. For the debate I guess I was okay. As always, I was a little bit nervous about speaking in front of the class. The Whip is always my favorite position XD probably because I like to refute against other people. Anyways this topic didn't really appeal to me, sorry to say :/. I think everyone in the debate did a great job.

Hey Everyone! Moving in!

You people may or may not have known me. I started with Ms. Krissy during summer and jumped to advanced and soon to Intermediate right now..... Now i move to Advanced Debate with you guys. During Intermediate i watched food inc.

I watched food inc again. I saw many things wrote notes. I learned how to eat more carefully, but i didn't learn much things. I did not like that much stuff either. It was disturbing, but not as disturbing while i was watching it and eating chicken. >.< Fairly scary but it sucks. You have to accept the truth on what goes on. With the chickens who get injected with hormones to the cows who fed corn. When will the cycle ever stop? Well thats mainly it :)!

-The picture above shows the normal chicken on the left and the chicken with hormones on the right.
