CIA torture report
So the first page of this article is just a list of supposed wrongs the CIA had done. I think is is extremely hard to write anything about it but ill think of something. Well all it talks about is how inhumane and bad the CIA interrogations were. But I think that they worked pretty darn good because if someone would torture me i would tell them what they wanted to know. So through my eyes they were getting stuff done. I dont think that anyone who did something bad enough to get into the CIA prison that they probably deserve to be tortured some. Another thing that confuses me is that the US government released the torture report that makes us look bad. You would think they might wanna hide it to make USA look better. Releasing that report was a stupid thing to do because now when Americans are taken prisoner in foreign places they will be tortured. But regardless of what is out the people of America think that all the bad news needs released to the public to know. Which I think is dumb just let the people live their fake happy lives and not have to worry about the bad stuff happening around them.

Our Aging Nuclear Arsenal

This article talks about how our country's nuclear weapons and storage facilities are old. So old that they are a danger to us. It also says that, "the people guarding the stock pile of weapons are plagued by scandals" (The Week 1). The storage facilities are so old that the blast doors wont even seal because of rust. I think that all of these places need to be repaired and actually guarded by people there to do there job. I understand that the job sucks but someone has to do it. And it says that we are receiving funds over a five year period to upgrade and improve everything that is going on. So when you think of this it is a never ending process of getting rid of old and replacing with new.

The History of Cuba and the US

So cuba got somewhat freed from spain. The whole reason they did was because of the US. And once they got free we kept them up and operating by having a military base there and spending a lot of money there. The island was a very popular spot that americas mobsters liked to hangout and gamble. In fact they practically ran the place for a while. Then they got overtook by dictators. That took all of the peoples rights. And ran the economy into the ground. They also hated america. This led to castro having the soviet union place missile silos facing florida. We took action and was willing to fight over this but they took them down quickly. Castro was a dictator over cuba for 10 presidential terms. That is a crazy long time to hurt one place. Spite the US trying to kill him dozens of times they had none successful. And he ended up stepping down because of illness.

Supreme court Deciding on Gay marriage

Well I dont agree with gay marriage and I think it is wrong. Also under the 14th amendment marriage isnt even listed so gay marriage would definitely not be there.  I dont care who I upset with saying it but gays are wrong and sick. Its adam and eve not adam and steve. I believe that this decision should be up to the state not to the the supreme court because they may not want it but the case could win in court and thats wrong. I think that america should be like it was in the old days where it was just traditional marriage and gays were outcasts. Its not a right or in our nations history so I say kill the gays or send them way they are not welcome here. They just need to see the big picture and relize there are no right to gay marriage so they just need to get lost.

Ok so what I am getting from this is that 3 guys stormed into a magazine publishing place in Paris and shot and killed 10 people and 2 cops to then getaway in a car. And that it wasn't the first time this place was attacked. You would think that some people would learn but I guess not. I kinda understand where some people are coming from when they say freedom of speech and the terrorists really should understand that they are just messing around no matter what they are making fun of. Also they writers should have know that they are messing with a hostile group of people that don't care about laws. So when it comes down to it the writers got off lucky because a lot more people could have been killed. The last thing I'm gonna rant about is that what are the terrorists even trying to accomplish they killed people for talking bad about them or their faith they can't stop teasing or being provocative. They just wanted a reason to rebel and fight.

Eating too Much Added Sugar May be Killing you

In this article people, professors, and health experts go in depth in what happens or can happen to you if you consume too much added sugar on a daily basis. They stated that your risk of dying increases exponentially with the more added sugar you eat. I thought this always was a problem, but they are making it out to be that the people now are so fat and lazy that we are bound to die off soon. My personal opinion on the subject is that we are our own person and no one can tell us what to eat or not eat and that the generations before us did the same thing and they ended up fine. It doesn't matter what you eat or how much as long as you balance it with at least some physical activity or work it off another way. And these people say that added sugars are only in things not natural but the way I look at it sugar is sugar not matter how you say it or add it. And they got their results from a survey a survey for Christ's sake how many people really enjoy to sit down and take an honest survey. I'm not one of those people. They also list all the heart diseases that you can get from consuming too much sugars but all of them are treatable so you can be saved even if you do have that particular disease. And in end they say drinking sweetened beverages do not cause heart disease and that is exactly right. That line is the only truth in the whole article.

well talking about concussions. I knew it was a pretty common thing it the sport of football but the numbers this tells you is alot. And it says that the players returned after 2 weeks. Im not a doctor but something tells me that if your brain bounces off the side of your skull that your gonna need more then 2 weeks to fully recover from that. It also stated the 17 people have died from it. All high school players this is kinda sad but I think that only 17 is a good statistic out of all the players that receive concussions. I think that more precaution should be taken when it comes to protecting players and treating them. This could save the lives of the 17 and help prevent other concussions from happening. This paper also states that to be released the person must be symptom free for 7 days. What even are the symptoms of a concussion. I dont have a clue. But I do think that the time to wait should be pushed back way more with kids that brains are still maturing. So that they dont get hurt worse and end up ruining the rest of their lives. And now im gonna give you my opinion on coaches that want to win even tho it comes down to putting a hurt kid back into the game hurting him even worse even death. This just is crazy and I know that it is different in some people than others but I think that when it comes down to a decision like that the kids parents and athletic trainer should make the choice not the coach. Because most are hungry for the win and would do anything to get that.
