My Constraints in an Argument

An argument that involved me and my constraints was when my friends wanted to drag me to a Homosexual Seminar when they always knew that I was very much against being anywhere near a where homosexual resided or felt comfortable residing.  We argued back and forth about who was right and wrong and that I should support them regardless. My point of the matter was that I did not like their decisions of becoming homosexual nor did I have friends who were, therefore I saw no reason in supporting someone I did not know or something I would never be a part of. Those friends of mines continued to ramp on about how important it was to support “homo’s “ and then they began to contradict me saying, What if we were homosexual, would you still hang out with us? Me being who I am I ignored the question, by saying that is beside the point. I chose to have an opinion just like everyone else on this earth and in my opinion I do not believe in homosexuality or lesbianism. Honestly, it is a religious belief, although in the bible it mentions two brothers who took part in the shameful sin of homosexuality, it just was not right. I strictly believe that God created man for woman and woman for man, not the same gender to be lawfully wedded. Every time, as friends, when this subject becomes a topic I either change the subject or I go to the bible on them as my mother would do. And no I am not ashamed of my religious beliefs right is right and wrong is wrong, so in this case homosexuality is wrong!

My Favorite Movie is "Dear John"

I enjoy watching love stories and hearing love stories and so the movie Dear John happens
to be my favorite even though it is a recent film I love the storyline behind it. This movie is my favorite because it is nothing like The Notebook or even Cinderella. Dear John is a movie that is fate and so much could happen between fate and doing what a person think is right. For instance, take Cinderella she had no idea about what could happen at the ball neither did the prince know that she was one, well that is until he danced around with her for a while. But, in Dear John the storyline was not based on a fairytale or the dream of falling in love with prince charming. The scenes that took place in Dear John were meant to happen. There is a slight difference among The Notebook and Dear John, well of course there are two totally different characters and the storyline is not quite the same. In The Notebook, the difference is that two people who think that they are ragingly in love until one is separated from the other due to the worries of the girl’s parents. While in Dear John the two characters are brought together by fate but are separated because of a much legitimate reason of John having to serve his country. These two love are both in some way fate, however Dear John shows a better explanation on why the two should be together and why they were separated. A final reason on why this movie is my favorite is because it does not seem surreal or seem like a fairytale it seems real. Everything that happen was based off of being tested and the love that was there was lost but found.

Argumentive Paper on The Media

Why is it that when watching the news, the topics are always the same? In my fall semester at AUM I was instructed to write about the media and its habits, both good and bad. I noticed while watching the news for about two weeks that their information is gathered based off of the same three topics; crime, celebrity updates, and politics. No changes had been made and they never gave accurate information, what they did give was speculations and assumptions. I’m quite sure that some people wouldn’t say that the media does not assume because most people rely on the news to receive confirmations and such. But, if you examine the media instead of actually watching and listening you can tell the difference between true and false. For instance, you know cannot always rely on the media when they are on the topic of a Developing story, which probably is derived from a crime scene or a major/minor disagreement in politics. Behind the scenes it has been documented that the media focuses on these three topics particularly to reach out to a broader audience. In my opinion, the media does not really focus on the main topics that are needed for people, of course we may need to be aware of whether or not we’re in danger, but repeating the same story or a similar is not informing. My paper specifically dealt with pointers from why the media chooses to take that route and why they have not or will not change.

The Worst Argument

"Why do you constantly talk when the conversation is over?" Sometimes I find it very hard to just let certain situations go. So I continue to ravel on until I get my point stated. The worst argument I ever had invovles a major disagreement between an old friend and I, when we get the chance to tell each other how we felt about life after high school. We clashed and disagreed which resulted into a terrible argument. Rampling back and forth about who was right and who was wrong, when both of us hold an equal amount of being wrong. As the smarter one in the friendship, typically I played the role of trying to keep it all together. Yet we constantly argued about the other back talking to another and not just letting it go. The argument was all over why college is not for everyone. In my opinion college is for anyone who puts their mine to doing whatever it is that you want to do.  During this most terrible argument curse words were being thrown at each other and the level of disagreement had risen drastically. We had argued to point of hurting each other and we just became needless of the other. In our disagreement we never could come to a conclusion because we disagreed about simple things such as, college is not for males who dropout of high school or college is just not for everyone. I totally disagreed, according to seeing so many of my families members who eventually received their GEDs and years later they were enrolled in two-year colleges I believed that my friend could too. I supported anyone who had the mind and the goals to attend college even if it was receving an Associate's Degree or more. On the other hand my friend clearly made up his mind that he was not going to college.

My History with Games

Games have been a very important activity to me ever since my first excperience with Ms. Pac-man. My first game box was playstation 1 I didnt play games on it every single day but, I played enough. After receiving a playstation 2 I began to play on it constantly. Games for me then became a necessity after my homework of course, and around age 13 games was all i could think about. I would play games on disneychannel, primarygames, and even some yahooo games. As I got older games became very redundant, and about 3 years ago  i received my first laptop and a wireless router. I knew that was a huge mistake, because somehow i would find a way to shift  right back into my youger years of being glued to a screen. While watching TED on monday i realized that games today are much more important than oil spill or soldiers at war. Literally, games have been made in junction with today's issues and people actually take time out to solve them as if they had an actual response for the problem.
