What Is A Genocide?

2009-04-10T10:29:00.000-07:00

I think Genocide as something to do with systematic destruction, in whole part , of an ethnic, racial, religious, or national group. A Genocide is also violence in some what, I think it happens because of the stuff that happened with the holocaust or the economy crisis and the violence in the world has to do with racial, drugs.

Experience

2009-04-09T10:28:00.000-07:00

On Tuesday night I went and saw the new "Fast and the Furious" and I liked the new one better than the rest because there is more action and better cars than the rest of them. In the new one they're are a lot new characters and Paul Walker and Vin Diesel are still in it and that is what makes the movie way better the action. One thing I didn't like about the movie is that the old characters from the first one weren't all in the last one.

My Favorite Movie

2009-03-20T10:27:00.000-07:00

My favorite movie would have to be Menace 2 Society because it's funny and it's about earning respect in your hood. The movie was made in Compton, California. It's not about gangs it's just about making money and respecting your hood or earning respect in your Compton hood. It is my favorite movie because it is a good movie and at the end is sad because one of the guys gets shot and the guy who got shot was moving out of the hood so he can do better for himself and his grandparents.

Freedom

2009-03-18T10:28:00.000-07:00

Freedom means to me you can do what ever you want so if your able to have freedom I think you should be able to drive without a license or buy beer when your a minor or gamble. If you can't do that they're is no freedom what so ever. Come on now they're pretty much isn't freedom in anybodies life just face it it's life that's how life is. Well they're is freedom like when I or others get off groundation your free to go hang out with your friends and when people get out of prison or jail they are free.

2009-03-13T12:38:00.000-07:00

My favorite place to be is school because you learn new stuff and your with some of your friends and I go to school a lot more now than when I went to North. I like it here at Downtown Learning center because I get the work and I don't go as long as other schools. I like the teachers here way better to. What I didn't like at North I didn't get the help I needed and I don't get the teachers there. Also I was hardly ever there because I wasn't getting no help from the teachers and the hallways were always packed with all the students standing around or walking around so a lot of other students who were trying to get to class would be late sometimes because of the other students walking slow or just standing in your way. I'm happy here because my mom is proud of me that I go to school way more than I use to and I'm happy myself to for coming a lot more now.

About Cole

2009-02-02T10:24:00.000-08:00

I think other people think of Cole as a bada** also they probably think he thinks he's all tough because he robbed a store and beat up a kid badly and people probably he's a bad kid.

I'm sure he probably feels bad what he has done in the past for growing up in a hard life and growing up in a hard life like that makes him feel all tough and like he's the boss or something.

I think Cole just made wrong mistakes growing up in a hard life like that just because he grew up bad doesn't mean he should take it out on other people or things I think he should of just let all his anger out by moving with like with his other family or something or do anger management classes.
