A HUG IS NEARLY A GUN SPELLED BACKWARD

 

 

I agree with the enforcer, that personal relations are more important than causes or patriotism. Patriotism is the love a person has for their nation no matter what. I believe that to some people, personal relations is more important than their entire nation.

 

I believe that this statement is true because there has been many greedy people in this world that don't care at all about their country, just as long as they are satisfied with themselves. Since right now the presidential elections are going on, I will be using candidates as examples, as well as other people. Not necessarily just Clinton and Trump but all the presidential candidates from the past. I feel like most people are so selfish that they wouldn't give something up for their nation. For example, if a random person was told that either they had to die or a large population of the nation would die and the person would be safe, I think about maybe 50% wouldn't sacrifice themselves for their country. Most people would only think about themselves and not save a large populations just so they can be safe. Especially when it comes to money, people get even more greedy. Sadly that's just how the world is.

 

I feel that the presidential elections are fake. Some candidates don't even care at all about the nation they want to be in charge of. All they want is the power the position comes with. I'm not going to say any names because I somehow feel that at one point, all candidates are greedy. All they do is plan to "make the nation better again" but they usually never do anything about it. They just make promises that they usually don't keep. Sometimes by the persons' greed they even make the nation worse. They power gets to their head and they forget about the people and only care for themselves. For example, Fidel Castro was the ruler of Cuba and had really bad conditions in the country that were not good for the people. All he wanted was the power that came with being a ruler of a country. That's why I usually don't take any candidate seriously because of this.

 

In this world there are many selfish people. I know that I'm repeating myself in this fraise, but only because it's true. This world is filled with greedy people. All most of them want is power over a population, in which they care nothing about. There are some rare cases that some candidates actually fall through with their promises, but I feel like it's only once in a blue moon. I hope it wouldn't be like this, but it sadly is.

 

In conclusion, I repeat my statement that I agree with the enforcer that personal relations are more important than causes or patriotism. I have many reasons for this, in which I have talked about in this essay.

Mistakes For Presidents

 

Knowing about this debate, I knew that Trump and Clinton were going to throw blows at each other, but I didn't they would throw that much shade. From Clinton saying that "Trump was one of the people why the United States went into debt" to Trump saying that "Clinton can't bring back jobs" also that "Clinton has been a senator for 30 years and how come she's barely trying to make a change". Clinton also told Trump that he's full of himself which made me laugh. Both of them trying to interrupt each other in order to get their point across. Clinton wants to raise taxes for the rich so that they can now be easier and less for the poor. Talking about throwing blows, Clinton and Trump talk about ISIS and non relatable and personal comments towards each other. Trump says that Clinton has no leadership which I think is one of the many bull shit comments that come out of Trumps mouth. Well this is getting me frustrated, so I think I'm going to change it and leave it at that. 

The mass shooting from the Orlando Pulse Nightclub was a terrible loss for many families and America. I think that this news really grabbed my attention was because all those innocent peoples lives who were taken. That guy had no fucken right to kill all those innocent people just because they were from the LGBT community! It was the largest mass shooting in American history, he killed 49 people. Of all ages, from 30-50 year olds to the youngest which was an 18 year old girl. It's so shocking how he actually got into the nightclub without the securities noticing he was armed. It's just something I will never understand, like why the fuck do people do this. The news also said that he was also "supposedly" of the LGBT community, so I don't understand why he had to shoot up the nightclub. If he was mad at himself for being the way he was (which I have nothing against) he should've dealt with his own shit instead of going on that selfish rampage. It's just a huge tragedy, my condolences to all those families and friends of the victims. 🙏❤

AP English is like a cudgel knocking some sense into your head. In this course you cannot slack off and turn in work that is slovenly. If you don't do your work you can provoke your teacher. You may say it was inadvertently, but by you not doing your work was the cause. Its already hard enough for teachers to understand the jargon language students use, but they still expect us to do our work. It seems that they expect us to use archaic language that we don't even understand. We'll write a lot of words that are superfluous. By us trying to use that language, we can turn in egregious and frivolous work. I think that if students use the language they know and understand, they will feel catharsis about the work they turn in.

BAD WORDS!

I think that "bad" words are considered on how you say them and the intentions behind them. Using bad words may get you're point across better because people may get surprised at your language and take you more seriously. Same goes for "good" words, I guess it just depends on the type of audience you're talking to and what point you want to get across. An appropriate usage of euphemism is when you want to get a point across but don't want to be too straight forward or sound rude. It has a limit to when it's appropriate and then to when it's just plain out being rude.
