Response

"Wow! I'm shocked! Where's your loyalty as an American citizen? No matter what your disagreement is with any president, he is still your president. No one should ever disrespect a president---not ever. We should always remain loyal to our president--------especially when the disrespect comes from a different country. It may have been just a shoe, but it was disrespect just the same. How would you have felt if it had happen to Obama?"


That was a comment from my grandmother. Anyway, I would feel the same. It doesn't matter who he is. I would have a problem if he shot the president, but harmfully throwing shoes is a whole different story. If some guy you didn't know killed your family and friends, I'm sure that you would be pretty mad too. And anyway, just because I have my opinion, you are telling me that I have no loyalty? Are you kidding me? And don't go trying to tell me that you didn't say that because it is right here: "Where's your loyalty as an American citizen?" My dream is to serve this country, and you, my family, should know that better than anyone. It might be disrespect, but the guy felt that George W. Bush had disrespected him. If he had thrown a shoe at any other American, you wouldn't care. George W. Bush is not a symbol of this country. The American flag is a symbol. He might be a leader, but I'm sure Bush himself would tell you that he is a person just like anybody else. And Barack Obama would do the same.

Opinion: Warren Buffett's Granddaughter

All I can say is wow.  Wow.  Warren Buffett excluding his granddaughter from his family?  Really?  Wow.  
Nicole Buffett is the granddaughter of Warren Buffett.  Warren Buffett has turned into a synonym for money.  Yet, his granddaughter receives no money.  She lives on $40,000 a year and has no healthcare and no cable.  Read this article.




Opinion: Are Robots Smarter Than Humans?

No.  Think about it.  How could a robot ever be smarter than a human?  Who programs computers?  Humans.  A computer gets all of its knowledge from humans.  Without humans, computers are nothing but a bunch of wires.  So think about it.  The programmer of the computer knows just as much as the computer. So, the answer is no.  YOU GOT A PROBLEM WITH THAT?

Opinion: Sam Bradford Winning the Heisman

I was rather surprised about this.  Lets look at the facts.

Most Pass Attempts: Gram Harrell (568)
Most Completions: Gram Harrell (406)
Most Yards: Gram Harrell (4747)
Greatest Completion Percentage: Colt McCoy (77.6)
Most Average Yards Per Attempt: Sam Bradford (10.1)
Most Passing Touchdowns: Sam Bradford (48)
Least Amount of Interceptions: Tim Tebow (2)
Most Rushing Touchdowns: Colt McCoy (10)

The pass attempts, completions, and yards are all held by Harrell, but that is expected when he has more than 100 more attempts than anybody else.  McCoy has the best completion percentage, which I think is one of the most important factors.  Bradford did have the most overall touchdowns, but that and the most YPA are the only two things that he led in.  Is that enough to win the Heisman?  I don't think so.  I would have voted for McCoy because he could obviously pass (77.6 CP), but he could also run (10 rushing touchdowns).  That shows that his team trusts him, which is another important thing for me.  

Opinion: Throwing Shoes at the President

When I first heard this, I laughed.  My first opinion is that this is okay.  Now, my mother is currently arguing that I should be mad at this.  Now, you can argue about this, or laugh it off and go home.  My mother, who is arguing with me, was laughing when she heard it too.  George W. Bush wasn't hurt.  Nobody was, except for Muntazer al-Zaidi, the shoe thrower.  Apparently, he has been tortured, and has some broken bones.  I can't say if it's true or not, but if it is, I think that that is horrible.  Back on topic, I'm sure a lot of U.S. citizens want to do the same thing.  They wouldn't do it, because they are scared of rotting in jail, but they still want to.  He's not a terrorist, or he would've just bombed the place.  You can say F*** him because he's our president, and you can't throw shoes at him, but don't come crying to me if you've EVER said ONE bad thing about Bush.

Opinions

Okay, I'm going to be writing a segment about things that I have opinions on.  The things will be about current news, sports, politics, and other things.  I will post a new one almost every day, but sometimes I just don't have the time.  Feel free to comment them and tell me your opinions on the topic.  Each blog will be titled Opinion: _______ so that you can find them.

I Made the Finals!

Well, this was unexpected.  It was a miracle that I won the first game, the only reason being Antonio Bryant's 32 point game.  Now, I beat Ehren for the second time, and I'm in the Championship.  Now the only question is: Who will I play?  I could play Viking World Order, the number 8 seed, who beat the number 1 seed in a major upset, or I could play my mom, Fuzzy Dice.  It's up to the Eagles on Monday Night Football!
