Gay Marriage..

So gay marriage is a heavily debated topic in today’s world, especially since President Obama wants to legalize gay marriage. Personally, I am 100% for gay married and equality for all, however others disagree, which I’m okay with. I think it’s very important for someone to have their own opinion and express their opinion. However, I do not agree with violence or aggression. Just because you believe in gay marriage, that doesn’t give you the right to call someone an “asshole” or a “prick”. And it goes the same for those who are against it. Being hostile is not helping either side of the argument, in fact it’s creating a more hateful world. I think its important to remember that shoving your opinion or belief down someone’s throat is not helping the cause. I personally believe if you want things to change, you need to be peaceful and patient. For example, Martin Luther King Jr. led the Civil Rights movement, however not everyone was on board with this movement at first, or even accepted the idea. But he did not give up, Martin fought violence with peace and patience, and it worked. Back to opinions, I think its important for people to express them whether you think its right or wrong. You wouldn’t want someone to be afraid to express their opinion out of fear of being judged just as you wouldn’t want a young boy to be afraid to come out to his parents or friends. As for Gay marriage or any other issue, you have to be patient, persistent, and most important, peaceful.

Are sharks really the bad guy?

Sharks. Sharks are creatures that inhabit the world’s oceans that mostly everyone fear. With sharp, razor like teeth and quick movements, sharks are easily classified as the number one predator in the ocean.But why are humans so scared of them? The answer is easy, Jaws. Jaws, a book written by Peter Benchley, was turned into a hit movie and was released in 1975. The movie depicts a great white shark hungry for human flesh who attacks people in the waters of Amity Island. Until the movie release, no one really though of being attacked by a shark. After the release of Jaws, people went into a shark frenzy. Many people began hunting and killing sharks, greatly impacting their population. People were so afraid of sharks they wouldn’t even step foot on the beach, The movie impacted how people saw sharks greatly. People saw sharks as killers and monsters. But are sharks the real monsters? The answer to that question is no, humans are. According to Marine Policy, around 100 million sharks are killed by humans per year. Yes, you read that correctly 100 million, possibly more. While only around 12 humans are killed a year by sharks. How crazy is that? So that leaves the ultimate question, are sharks really the bad guys? With those numbers, I personally believe they’re not.
