Yep, Its official. We are on our Christmas Break as of today. Woohoo! We are all excited to be out so we don't have our brains fried by mountains of confusing homework and tests. It seems all we do as 8th graders is take tests, so it takes a toll after a while...
So, the trending topics. Obama won Time's Person of the Year award today. Now, Taylor is a strong Republican, so she gets angry at the very mention of his name. I, however, am a supporter of said person because he is our president, after all. You may not like the guy, but at least respect the position...
I'm happy he won the award, as it is a great achievement, especially when he is one of like 3 black men to win the award.
And in the wake of the tragedy in Connecticut, Obama gave a strong speech on gun regulation in Newtown, and enlisted Vice President Biden to take action. Now everyone is getting their panties in a wad because they think he is going to take all of our guns away. NOT TRUE!!!! It is just completely unnecessary to own a semi automatic weapon. All they do is give you that "cool factor". In the old days, guns took a while to load one shot. The person firing the gun had to think about his shot, knowing he would end a life with it. With our modern guns, it makes it easier to kill more people without a second thought.
The fact is: Obama doesn't want to get rid of guns completely. He just wants more restrictions on the type of gun and to make it a little more difficult to get a gun, so that this tragedy doesn't happen again.
And don't even talk about arming the teachers. They will pull out the guns when we pack up early.. *coughcough*My science teacher*coughcough*
Logan, that's not a nice thing to say about our science teacher! Besides, it's our fault when we pack up early. I'm not implying that there should be guns or anything...I mean, I'm sure that our science teacher would only use a gun to keep us safe. At least I hope so... I don't know what you have against her, but you got to admit she is an amazing science teacher.
