Humanity is Evil (Extra Credit)

Technology has awoken me again, to the world full of anger. There was a time when people never fought and actually thought that all humanity is one race. But a lot has changed; Humanity has come to point where we are not one. God created human’s as one, but now we have different skin color and race on different sides. The planet earth was created for all living things, but we give our self’s the right to go and kill everything around us.

There are some famous Poems about humanity “It would indeed be a tragedy if the history of the human race proved to be nothing more than the story of an ape playing with a box of matches on a petrol dump.”(David Ormsby Gore) “Humanity is on the march, earth itself is left behind.”(David Ehrenfeld) “Man was created a little lower than the angels, and has been getting lower ever since.” (Josh Billings) “Give a man secure possession of a bleak rock, and he will turn it into a garden; give him nine years' lease of a garden, and he will convert it into a desert.” (Arthur Young) “Nobody knows the age of the human race, but everybody agrees that it is old enough to know better.” If humanity sees themselves in that way then, it must be true.

This makes me think of a poem:

By, Ahmad Gul

The Grass is green

 

The world is clean

The branch is brown

I fell on the ground

I looked up at the sky

The sky is blue

I found a clue

That this world is not for me and you

Can't Be Trusted (Based on a True Story)

Somebody that lives in your house that you love dearly turns out to be a very bad person. There are times when people make mistakes. But loving somebody that betrays you is very different. Everybody makes mistake in life, but when your own family member does that, it is just wrong. Somebody had once said that one man's trash is another man’s treasure well my wife is somebody else’s treasure. This is a Betrayal story of Prem Gul in Herat, Afghanistan.

After a hard day at work, Prem comes home to be welcomed by his wife. He walks in very happy and is really enthusiastic to see his wife Kajol Gul. He takes a glance around the living room and can’t seem to find his wife. So, he starts calling out “Kajol, Kajol,” but nobody answers. He gets frightened and looks harder, but can’t find her. Then, all of a sudden he hears a phone call “treeeeing, treeeeing.” He rushed to the phone and said “Bale” (Which means hello in Farsi). It was very quiet at the beginning, but then he started to hear his wife shout and cry. His wife had been kidnapped by the Taliban and they wanted him to go and kidnap the president’s daughter. He had no choice, but to say yes and try to save his wife’s life, that he loves very dearly.

Now Prem is on a mission to be a hero and save his wife from the filthy Taliban. He rushes to his room to design a plan so he can steal the president’s daughter. He starts to think to himself what if I earn her trust and pretend to marry her and take her away. He goes to the capital Kabul, Afghanistan. There he sees her and tries to find ways to make her fall in love with him. While the attempt of something that is almost impossible to do, he gets another call. It’s from the Taliban and they warn him to not do anything stupid and that he only had another week. That put even more pressure on him now. That president’s daughter was already starting to fall in love with him, but her parents didn’t approve. The time was coming near for Prem to tell Neha (The president’s daughter) that it is time they ran away and got married somewhere far, far away.

She agreed to escape from her house with him. The next morning they had it all planned and where ready to escape. They drove until this lake, but they were too late the guards were chasing them. They got off the car and got on a boat, then from a boat to a train. They arrived at Herat. It was time to tell Neha the truth. He played with her heart it wasn’t the right thing to do. She loved him way too much and agreed that for her love she will go with him. She felt betrayed, but at the same time she was willing to do anything to save his wife and to see him happy. He promised her that he will save her from the Taliban too. After all the time he had spent with her, he was starting to feel a little something. He cared about his wife a lot, but at the same time he didn’t want to hurt Neha anymore. BEING betrayed by someone you love is exactly how Neha felt, but that wasn’t it, he had to turn her into the Taliban.

The day came when they both walked side by side and the Taliban where waiting one hundred feet away. There were a lot of them. The whole world came at a stop. Prem shouted “Kajol kuja ast” (Where is Kajol at). Then, it started to get windy and a helicopter came thundering down. The head of the Taliban replied “da mabien a helecoptar ast” (She is in the helicopter). Then, that same guy shouted to go and get Neha. Kajol came out of the Helicopter and started to walk his way and Neha the other way. But Prem had promised to save Neha so he grabbed his wife and Neha. Then, started to run away, but his wife didn’t run. She took a gun out and pointed it at him. He was surprised and said “tu chee mekuni” (what are you doing), she pulled the girl away and shot him twice and replied “man tu ra ech wakht khwsh na dashtum, man as khatera brodaram kul y az y ra kadum”, (I have never liked you, all I did this is for my brother). He was starting to breathe harder and harder and just blacked out. Neha was cring and telling Kajol to let go, but she wouldn’t listen. He went into a dream. All he had was now gone. The wife that he sacrificed so much for betrayed him. Not only had done that, but shot him. He did the same thing with Neha, but this was much different. He died the worst way possible. He lost the love of his life. I bet if he didn't die, he wouldn't trust another girl agian. Nobody can be trusted because the time will come that you will see the real picture.

New episode of Family Guy

There is a time when characters leave, but then they come back. In this episode there is Peter Griffin who lives in Quahog, Rhode Island with his wife (Lois), dog (Brian), and three kids (Chris, Meg, and Stewie). He's a product safety inspector at the Happy-Go-Lucky Toy Company, but has dreams of being much more. Then, there is Peter's Friends Cleveland Brown, Glenn Quagmire, and Joe Swanson. They are the main characters of the show.

Let’s get to know the characters. Peter is an "average," not particularly competent American father, Peter is a selfish, irresponsible, obese and is a heavy drinker. His IQ falls near the borderline of mental retardation. He is married to Lois an average housewife/mother. She is a stay-at-home mother that juggles her piano lessons, kids, and husband all in one day, while she dodges her matricidal infant Stewie. Together they have three kids. The oldest one is Meg, the first child and only daughter, is a self-conscious and unattractive teenage girl. The other family members treat her as an object of abuse. Chris, the second child, is fat, blond, emotionally effusive, and afraid of the evil monkey that lives in his closet. Stewie is the baby, but often behaves in adult ways such as upper-class speech (though he is only fully understood by Brian and Chris). He talks in posh vocabulary, carries weapons, and invents new technology. He hates his mother and tries killing her many times. Then, there is Peter’s next-door neighbor and his friend, who Peter met in the Navy. He is best known for his sexual deviancies, and secretly having a foot fetish. He exhibits a vocal tic, the sound "giggity" once or numerous times in rapid succession, particularly when aroused. On several occasions, it is shown that he is attached to Peter's wife, Lois. Cleveland is Peter Griffin's mild-mannered African American friend. Finally, there is his handicap friend Joe who has severe anger issues.

This new episode will take place in Quahog, Rhode Island. Stewie is inventing a weapon that can destroy Lois forever. While Peter is up to his usual insanity. So at the beginning its Stewie’s second birthday and it is a snowy day outside. They have invited all Peter’s friends and Lois’s parents. Everybody is having a good time until Quagmire starts looking at Lois. She tells Peter to do something, but he doesn’t bother. Cleveland has been gone from the show, but he returns for Stewie’s birthday. Since Family Guy has a lot of musical songs peter goes to Quagmire and asks him “did you know about the bird” and starts singing the bird is the word song. While all this is going on Chris has gotten bitten by a spider and now has powers.

Stewie’s invention is finally finished and he created a remote that can control time. He tests it out and pushes pause. All of a sudden the whole world stopped around him. That was the perfect way to kill Lois. He started to play around like when Brian was about to sit down, Stewie paused it and moved the chair, and then pushed play and Brain had a nice fall feeling confused. Then, stewie noticed Meg fall and was surprised of how that was possible. While this was going on with Stewie Peter brought a buff pig for stewie’s birthday. There was too much going on that nobody really noticed Cleveland that had been gone for so long.

Peter finds out about Chris’s Spider Man power and tells him “With great powers, come great responsibilities”. He uses his powers for good. Stewie’s plan for finally killing his mom comes to an end because now he faces a greater challenge of figuring, who has the other remote. To find out what happens with Chris’s powers and who is the other person with the remote...

Bravery

    There are many brave people in this world, but I think everybody has a different meaning for that word. I think people do brave things every day of their lives. There is a famous quote “Bravery is the capacity to perform properly even when scared half to death (Omar N. Bradley, 1893).” That is what I believe that bravery is. Like the many soldiers that go to war, they know that they have the chances of dying, but they still put their lives on the line for their country.

     Going in front of the class to present a project takes bravery and courage, but not to where you are putting your life on the line for your country. Since I was a little boy I have dreamed of becoming a doctor (General Surgeon). To see another human being die in front of you and you couldn’t do anything about it is hard. Hearing a report that a person has gotten in a fatal crash and now it is in your hand to save his/her life is bravery.

    I have spent most of my life in the United States and haven’t had a day without racism. There is a quote “I have visited some places where the differences between black and white are not as profound as they used to be, but I think there is a new form of racism growing in Europe and that is focused on people who are Middle Eastern. I see it (Montel Williams, 1956).” The thing that I did that was the bravest thing in my life is, stand up to racism. At first I believed them and was starting to not be proud of where I’m from, but I stood up to what I believe in. It takes a lot of courage and bravery to stand up to most of the people in your school.

    It was around October, and people were adjusting to school. I can still remember walking from the bus to the school building. The suddenly I just hear some person go “Ale le le le le le le le le le.” I turned around and didn’t say anything, and tried to be brave and just take it like a man. So I kept on walking. Later on that day some kids where wearing robes on their head to try to act like me while saying “Ale le le le le le le le le le le.” That is what I think takes a lot of courage because I could have gone and hit them, but all that would have done is get me in trouble. Or I remember the time when people would be calling me Iraqi or terrorist. So you just have to be brave and let them know that you are not getting hurt and they will stop.

    There are many ways to be brave, but as long as you believe that you are. Some brave things might not be as important as others, but bravery is bravery. Whether it is a doctor saving somebody else’s life or a soldier risking his/her life, or me fighting racism. As long as we have brave people in this world we have a chance of surviving another day. People are always going to face challenges in their lives, but as long as they are brave and they have courage, they will be fine. You need to be brave to fight the greatest fears in life or the greatest obstacles. The fear of people being racist to me is now gone. I don’t really care of what people think, as long as I believe in myself and am brave.

Travel to the Cavemen Age

    The river flows as the sun brings another day to earth. It might be the greatest day of your life or the worst. Sometimes mother earth makes me think if this world can give so much, then why at the same time it can take it all back. I wish a can go back to the cavemen time. I bet their life was much easier than ours they could have done whatever they wanted to. Not pay for water, live anywhere they want, and a life without any war.

   
    As humanity gains knowledge they are supposed to get smarter and make smart decisions. People are smarter, but I wonder when we are going to gain the knowledge that war is a bad thing. I want to ask the cavemen "How did they not have wars?" If knowledge is going to make this world a bad place to be, then I don't want knowledge.

  
     I wonder what the cavemen did every single day. What the cavemen ate? How did they find that food? The most important question I have is how did they deal with the dinosaurs? I want to be able to see the dinosaur’s right in front of me. Feel how these wonderful creatures walked the earth. Smell the fresh air that is now polluted. So why did mother earth cause all the dinosaurs to die out, but not humanity? Is it because we are the chosen ones.

   
    Imagine a day without politics, bills, and school. A place where the water is clean and you don’t have to pay for it. Sitting by the riverbank and fishing. Going anywhere you want without anybody telling you anything, traveling around the world without a passport. Well wouldn’t that be something great. Having enough knowledge to live a great live, but not too much to where you destroy everything there is. Yes there might not be technology, but at least there would have been hope to live a great life just in fear of dinosaurs, not of other humans.

   
    That is why I would love to go back to the cavemen days and live a great life. Not have any fear of war or bloodshed. We are missing out on a lot of things. We might have found cures for cancer and many other things to expand the human life, but we have also destroyed and taken many lives. Some of the knowledge that we have gained has helped us a lot, but most of it has turned into a big nightmare. In those days nobody cared about a person’s color or race because that would be stupid. So if we have all these powers to make this world a better place, then why do we have to fight? Knowledge is a great thing, but right now it is not helping us very much. Mother earth will always do what it wants and when it wants, we just have to work together and not let what happened to the dinosaurs happen to us.

War (Story of my Mom)

   Generations have gone and there has been a lot of history made. Imagine a perfect day turning to the worst nightmare in a person’s life. Well that is the story of Afghanistan and my mom.” A great war leaves the country with three armies - an army of cripples, an army of mourners, and an army of thieves”, by German Proverb helps me explain the pain of a mother in Afghanistan.

   The war has started and taken many lives and destroyed many houses. The country known as Afghanistan getting destroyed by the Taliban’s right in front of my mom. There is no way for her newborn to survive all the noises like bombs rocket at midnight. That newborn was my sister Sadaf. She had to get away from all of that and had nobody to help her, but her sons because her husband dying at a young age.

   Well the way that poem goes a war leaves an army of thieves. That is what exactly that was going to be next. It was a regular war day and it was about to be dark. There was a red sky because of the sunset. My elder brother whom where in about their forties at the time were at work and on their way home. Suddenly, with a roaring noise we heard a gun which sounded like it was very close. I was too young to understand it, but my mom witnessed a group of men rushing towards our house. They were those robbers that a brutal war dragged to Afghanistan. We all were in a room and all of us had to hide because they would have killed us. But they took what they wanted and everybody was safe. After that my mom couldn’t live in Afghanistan because of too much fear.

   In a place where women do not have any power at all she took her kids to a better place in Pakistan. She took us from a place that there was a lot of bloodshed to a place where there was no humanity they were all like pigs. People over there could have done anything and if rich, nothing would happen to them as long as they paid the cops a little. Money started to become a problem and it wasn’t any better there. The education wasn’t any better. Now she had to feed her kids in place where she didn’t even know the language.

   As a perfect place turns into a person’s nightmare it can also turn back. Well that day came when she went and applied to go to the United States so she can get freedom and peace from the entire thing going on in those hell wholes. Something magical happened that day and she got approved to come to the United States of America. Most moms’ dreams are that their kids would grow up with a good education and live great lives full of happiness. Hers was the same and that nightmare was turning into something beautiful.

   People may think that now all of her problems were over, but it never ends. She Again faced challenges of learning the language. She got cancer and had to go to Seattle to get cured and she did. Now she can’t work because she is disabled and the welfare isn’t treating her very well. But now at least she doesn’t have to worry about her kid’s safety. Now at last she can do whatever she wants without fearing that she is a girl. This was how a nightmare turned to something beautiful. Generations of war has gone we need to make this a better place just as the Americans did with my mom.

Starfish / Making A Difference

 There is a famous quote “If you can't feed a hundred people, then feed just one” by Mother Teresa. That one person that you have the chance to feed will make a lot of difference to them. Maybe you might not have saved the whole world from hunger, but that one person that you did can sleep peacefully.

     
There was a war going on in Afghanistan and my family and I were brought to America for safety. Yes it might not have saved Afghanistan and its people, but they did save us. They did make a big difference in our lives. What if they didn’t save us thinking that there are too many people to save than who know what could have happened to us. So I thank them every day for making a difference in my families’ lives.

     
There is this thing called working together, imagine if one person threw a starfish into the sea. Now imagine if all the people in this world threw just one starfish into the sea, now that would make a big difference.

     
Nobody can do everything, but everyone can do something, is how I describe working together to make this world a better place.

     
I have met many people that think that they can’t make a difference when they can. An earthquake hit Haiti about a month ago and destroyed many homes. That was the time to reach out and help as much as you can.

     
So I hope to never hear anybody ever say they can’t make a difference because if anybody donated to the people in Haiti, trust me they made a difference.

Global Warming Pollution / Act Now

We need to protect earth. It is our planet and we need to fight for it, and not just let everything die or cause harm to our planet. We have opportunity to cap America's global warming pollution and put people back to work building America's green energy future. Obama Meets with Key Senators in Push for Climate Bill and I know we should support the president and want a better place for everybody to live in. There has been many movies made on this problem. One of my favorites is the movie "2012" it really goes deep in the meaning of how the world might end if we keep up all the damage. This planet is ours so lets work together and let our kids and our kids, kids enjoy what we have. It is a great place so lets keep it that way and let mother earth do its thing.

The Great Debaters/ Opinion

I liked this movie because most movies entertain people and that is it, but this movie just didn’t do that it gave me history of the racism back in the days. This movie lets people know that if there is something bad going on don’t just stand and watch, do something about it. This movie proved a point in an entertaining way not a boring way. I really like the camera work like one their first debate when James is filming Henry it shows the picture black and white to make you notice that in 1935, they didn’t have colored pictures. So why is this movie so great? Well because it puts a little humor in something that wasn’t at all humorous. To really understand the history of racism in America there is no movie better than this one I recommend everybody to watch it.

Slavery at its Worst/ Painting by Diego Rivera

A famous quote by Robert Ingersoll “Give to every human being every right that you claim for yourself”, is how I feel about this painting. Why should man fight with each other because of each other’s race or color. I see men being hanged, forced to work in the fields, hungry, and being stabbed. Who do the white people think they are just going and taking the Native American land? I see sorrow in the families’ eye, that is just about to see her son, dad, or cousin get stabbed to death or be hanged. What did they do to earn that, is it because they are dark, or because they are just trying to fight for their land. Humans are a mistake made by god, they have many gifts that they don’t know about, but shed blood amongst each other. Have you ever seen a white dog attack a black dog? Well, I haven’t. Human stupidity is going to end this world.

The New Colossus/ Statue of Liberty

The New Colossus

Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,

With conquering limbs astride from land to land;

Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand

A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame

Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name

Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand

Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command

The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.

"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she

With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,

Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,

The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.

Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,

I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

By Emma Lazarus, 1883

           This poem is about how America welcomes everybody and helps. The author writes that the liberty cries in silence "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!" But all that just does not seem real to me because there are many homeless people that nobody cares about. Yes it is a land of many races, but is everybody really equal. No, I don't think so because many people judge another by color not by talent. This poem is trying to help many people be equal when it doesn't have the power to do that.

          The Statue of Liberty symbolizes freedom throughout the world. Its formal name is Liberty Enlightening the World. The Statue was actually a gift from the people of France.The statue, made of copper sheets with an iron framework, depicts a woman escaping the chains of tyranny, which lie at her feet. Her right hand holds aloft a burning torch that represents liberty. Her left hand holds a tablet inscribed with the date "July 4, 1776" (in Roman numerals), the day the United States declared its independence from England. She is wearing flowing robes and the seven rays of her spiked crown symbolize the seven seas and continents. Near the Statue of Liberty in New York Harbor is Ellis Island. This island served as an immigrant station and a temporary shelter for people coming to the U.S. from other countries. Between 1892 and 1954, approximately 12 million people passed through Ellis Island seeking refuge, freedom and opportunity. The main building on Ellis Island is now a museum dedicated to the history of the Ellis Island Immigration Station.

         Immigration is what United states is all about because it is Columbus discovered it but it was already the Native Americans land, so they fought for it and they just toke everything away from the Indians. But it shouldn't get out of control to where everybody just comes in but any body should be allowed as long as they don't damage the country by bringing drugs or diseases. That is how the United States Should do it. The purpose of America is Immigration. Nobody should be able to be better just because of their color. Nobody was born in the United States Of America so why make it theirs. Right now have so many family members in Afghanistan but, why would anybody care I thought this land is for everybody, but some thing is just not true. This land is not just for the white folks that think everything is theirs because they weren't born here either but they have the right to live with their families in peace. We are humans too, everybody needs a family to take care of them, but for that to happen you have to make a big case which takes about five years, and mostly more but they still don't come. This land is every bodies they need to let my family come, but why should they care. At least now that there is a war going on there they should try to save them from dying, but they just don't freaking care.

A new generation will start and guess what, what if there weren't any more Sumatran Tigers. The wonderful nature that we witnessed why not let our kids see them. Doesn't everybody wish there were Mammoths still around instead of just hearing stories about them, so lets not let any of that happen to the creatures we have right now. We need to protect them.

I Pray

I have spent many days without any snow, but today that changes.

Hoping that the snow would cause school delays or even school closings.

I pray the snow unveil its powers and cause there to be a delay.

Snowy day

A snowy day ends, and now it is the suns turn to shine upon us.
