Moral Decesions

One time while my friends and I were riding around on our bikes, we were considering going into the Trails, which is a home made bike trail like thing. It's a fun trail but it can also be dangerous if you don't pay attention. The other option was to just continue riding around on the back roads where it was safer. We decided to go in anyway, but we told ourselves to stay on the outside of the track, as there were scattered shallow pits along the trials.

My decision was influenced by myself. I considered the consequences and pros of each option. Riding on the roads was less fun, but it was safer. Riding the trails was more fun but also more dangerous at times, if you're not careful. After riding around, we all made it out alive and in one piece, none of us fell at all. It was a fun experience.

(Apparently, that area is the water company's property and the trails were flattened.)

Opinion on Torture

No, I do not think terrorists should have human rights. If they want to kill huge masses of people, they shouldn't deserve them. In this article,  I think that who ever was in charge of the prison should be punished the most, for authorizing the actions of the persons who actually did torture the prisoners. Those persons should be punished also. Yes, I think physical torture is moral IN SOME situations. If the situation is time critical, like something is going to happen VERY soon, then I think it's okay. My opinions stay the same if the country did not hear about this torture.

What Does It Mean to be Literal?

Being literal means saying something that is just the truth, plainly the truth, not exaggerated in any way. A definition of literal isfree from exaggeration or distortion. Yes, I have used "literally" in a sentence before.

Reverse Whip Around

Control yoursel,f smoke

Of course eating seeds is a past time activity

Like walking on the moon

She slipped away, bye, bye, bye

Good trust is gone

Mixed adrenaline with cyanide

Your side is right as dew

And lips feel so do you

The Life of a Shoe


The life of a shoe is very extensive. A lot more extensive and painful than you think and the shoe does not like this. Not all shoes don't like their life. Only this one doesn't. It tells its story.
Leave the factory in this small, tight, itchy cardboard box; shoes have to be free you know?; on to the truck to the airport; it's a bumpy ride; I would slap this driver if I could, he's terrible; off the truck; through the x-ray machine; onto the plane; I like planes; I don't have to do anything on them except take my wearer to the bathroom...EWWWW; sit in the plane for a few more hours; off the plane; on to another truck; What?; this seems like the same driver; Hey buddy slow it down before I drop kick you!; to the warehouse; off the truck; onto a hand cart; as you know, I'm in a box with nine other boxes with a pair of shoes; the box is opened up; ah the light!; the box is closed again; it was just for inspection; Darn, whose ever idea that was I am going to kick for getting me all excited for the light of day and then to have me boxed up again; I feel movement;p onto a shelf maybe? Yes, we have stopped; a few hours on this shelf and I would... wait! we're being moved again!; I sense a truck; Yes, a truck, and we're on the move; I hear mall spoken; Off to the mall; that means light!; off the truck; into the store; out of the box; onto the shelf; time passes; I am very impatient; YAY! I am bought; ouch, ouch!; be careful putting me on; i walk my wearer out; he likes tough terrain; ouch! ouch! oh my gosh!; what is his problem?; Now he is running?!; what the heck?; ouch! ouch! ouch!; EWWW!; He stepped in mud; I look at myself; I am hurting because I am ripped a lot already; that’s what you get pal!; treat your shoes better!; he looks down at me, curious at to where that voice is coming from; that’s my voice!; he takes me off and puts his old ones back on; he throws me out; sad face.

A Father's Agonizing Choice

You are an inmate in a concentration camp. A sadistic guard is about to hang your son who tried to escape and wants you to pull the chair from underneath him. He says that if you don't he will not only kill your son but some other innocent inmate as well. You don't have any doubt that he means what he says. What should you do?

This is an easy decision. Although I do have sympathy for the other inmates, I would rather not kill my own son. I wouldn't be able to take the depression after being ordered to kill my own son and then killing him.
