A site for you.

I got in a conversation earlier today with a fellow student from the U.K.. I mentioned that I disagree with her countries methods on gun control. She , to no surprise, mentioned that she believe no one should own guns. She also mention that statistics says otherwise. This is both true, and untrue. It is true that the United States has a higher murder rate than most, and I believe all, of Europe. That being said she is not entirely right that banning guns prevents murder. Check this out for yourself.

Go to the site on this ling and look up Switzerland, and the U.K.. Notice how their gun murder rates are similarly low, the difference though? Switzerland allows its civilians to have guns. Fell free to research other countries as well. One things for sure the U.S. does not have the highest gun murder rate in the world. In fact its one of the lowest on a chart on the first page. Look around a bit, and if you have any doubts there are listed references at the bottom of the page.

Syria, why the hell are we the only ones who will deal with it?

With all this turmoil in Syria I got to thinking. Why is my country the only one who really wants to get involved in Syria? I appreciate the support of the U.K. and France, and any other European country, which sorta surprises me but good.

O.K. here's a better question. Why isn't the U.N. sending in people? Yeah that's right they looked into it, but in the end shouldn't it be the U.N.s job to go in and stop the senseless killing of civilians? Oh yeah that's right we're talking about a socialistic version of the Breakfast Club who didn't find it important to get involved in things like oh Rwanda, and basically the rest of Africa, and Bosnia which by the way the killing was ended when U.S. forces finally put some bullets into some heads and not trying to talk negotiate with people who don't give a rats ass. The same goes to the U.E.. They couldn't even shoot to save civilian life, and often would be held hostage at times.

You see what I'm getting at? YOu have these organizations for peace who aren't will to give the ultimate answear to a problem. Yeah I don't think we should go into Syrai, but I would feel a lot more confrotable doing so if the U.N. would pull up their frilly stocking, stop their master plan for a global domonation, sorry, I mean global goverment for just two seconds we could end this who problem all together at a substantial rate.

Yes I do believe in diplomacy before action, but when innocent civilians are dies on purpose, well then something needs to be done, and it needs to be an cruiser missile blowing the shit out of who ever though gassing innocent civilians was a good idea. If they give up their chemical weapons FINE! Lets stay out of this, but if not the U.N. needs to actually do its freaking job for once.

As time passes by.

Its funny really. Time is a master of deception. It hides secrets of the past, and even confuses our own memories sometimes. Not to mention how long ago things feel, as well as vise-versa. It seams like my high school years were so long ago yet so close. It has only been about over a year, yet time just seams to fly by leaving it further behind. My first semester of college was a bit tough. Not that I struggled in school, or anything but I just saw how much was changing at once that it almost overwhelmed me. It had been happening since the beginning of my senior year.

You see yourself, an other getting older around you. Streets you once walked now have almost completely changed. Everything has changed and it depresses you. We all go through this. If I could spend an eternity with my cousins, aunts, uncles, and other family members in the suburbs of Utah doing doughnut and drink runs, playing League of Legends, and taking long night walks I would. But if I did that I wold miss out on having a college experience, getting married one day, and all the other possibilities that the future holds.

Hold to the past because it makes a part of who you are, but don't clench to hard or you will never let go when you need to.

I have a Tip for you.

We all need a little advise. So here's a tip for you. Be sure to tip your waiters, and waitresses. I know that was a lame pun, but seriously. I work at a restaurant as a grounds keeper for putt putt outside this summer. At first I worked in the restaurant, and got tips. I don't now, but I get paid more for what I do outside. As for the people who work inside I notice just how little tips they get. Hell I barely got any while I worked there. With all of this talk of the rich paying their fair share, how often do we instead treat others fairly ourselves, you know instead of just voting for idiot leaders who claim they will make us do it.

I find it pathetic when I see those ladies work in the restaurant after making a large pizza pick up order, or some party comes and orders a lot, and leaves not even so much as a dime. I ask where is the fairness in that? Politics set aside these people often don't make much from their actual check, and often live off their tips. So what does that mean when people don't leave a tip. Well not only does it show how stingy people are, but how little appreciation we have for each other. Don't get me wrong I've not payed tips before, but that was only because the service was so lousy that it well you couldn't blame me.

Other than that please tip. Its more than just money. Its a sign saying good job. How many jobs would feel less of a drag if we all just felt important. To me as long as I'm getting paid what I should be for my work getting a little appreciation is better than more money any day.
