War Veteran Speech- Stop This Madness.

Just recently, Mike Prysner broadcasted a speech that went viral. That is what I am here to talk about. Hearing Mike's inspirational speech made me stop and think. Think, about how amazing it really was; and also, to think about how he was right, about everything. We are the enemies, the ones' who continue to fight, and cause problems each day.



Before this, I would never have thought about how war is just another word for racism. Its the meaning; the synonym. We fight other countries to gain something, to clear out the people who are different from what we are. In our minds, its thought to be that only we matter, and why anyone different would be on this earth anyways. Well, each and every person is different from the rest, and thats what matters. Each of us have our talents, our weaknesses and strengths, and our unique personalities. Hearing this often should be enough to know that its not only our "kind" who matter. Everyone does, and dragging them onto the street or wrecking their homes is not the answer.

Mike had a huge point of knowing that the government and military would be the enemy. We make the problems, we cause them, but we never resolve them.. unless you call winning the war a good resolution. I have my strong opinions of disagreeing with war, but never for those reasons, until now. Many of you may disagree, as that is alright, since each person is entitled to their own opinions; but stop and think for a minute; think of what the world could be if war did not exist, and peace flowed through the universe. We continue to wreck our earth with war, destroying forests, killing people, etc. The list could go on and on, but I'll stop now.

My point is, is that this video taught me something I would have never known. Taught me more about war, and how it affects us and wrecks us. So, pass this video around more, take a look to see what you think about it, and share your opinions; because it has positively changed many people around our world. Thank gosh, one war is finished with not one a winner.

False Advertising*

We've all watched commercials and seen advertisements on fast-food places such as Wendy's, Burger King, and Mc Donald's right? Well, the reality of these delicious foods we see on our televisions is completely.. false. I can even admit that those burgers on the advertisements look very healthy and good. But when reality hits, we realize that it's everything besides that mouth-watering food. When we actually get to go to these places, and order what we thought looked so good, our result isnt anything we thought possible. With old lettuce and burgers, with cheese and sauces, it's all slapped on like nobody's business. The Big Mac, the Baconator, you get it. Even if the taste is good, the look isn't. Also, their all packed with unhealthy fats and tons of calories. A terrible mix, as having one burger has about as many calories as your supposed to consume in one day.. but it's only for one meal. So, make the smart choices, and don't listen to the advertisements, its all a lie.
