why we flirt..

After reading only the first sentence of this article, I already didn't like it. Single people and married people are not the only ones who flirt. That makes no sense. ALL people flirt. It's natural and in our human nature, no matter what your status is. You can be single and available. You can be in a relationship but not married. You can be "together" without the title. You can be divorced, widowed, currently married, anything! Flirting is flirting. It happens; there is nothing scientific about it. Everybody flirts.

"Battle Stories Bring Former Enemies Together"

My favorite part of this passage is, "We are completely committed to working for peace together." It really shows that no matter where someone is from or how they were brought up, there can be that want for peace somewhere within anyone. We cannot control the world we are born into, nor can we choose the cultures that raise us. To be forced to abide by the rules, regulations, and traditions that we disagree with is simply a way of life. Sometimes the differences within two different parts of the world are what can bring the true similarities together. Don't we all truly want the same thing? Isn't that what we are fighting for?

When You Have to Shoot First

Judges have too much power. It's like they think they're God or something. They have the power to control the future of innocent or guilty humans. Why should one single individual have access to that much power just because they completed years of law school? It's actually quite ridiculous. The whole scenario of the law, ethics, morals, etc. is bizarre. Without order, there would be chaos. But is it better to have chaos with no order than to have the system we are living through today? I guess no one can really answer unless they themselves are put in the situation. No one can really say, "Oh I would have done....," because you don't really know what you would have done.

"Iraqi Kids Play Make Believe War Games"

I think it's hard to ask these kids to stop their "war games" when all they see in the real world around them is war itself. Perhaps their make-believe games is a way of dealing with the real horrors and fightings? They don't have much of a distraction or get away. It really is sad to know that instead of make-believe games consisting of magic and fairy tales, children are playing games involving all they know. What is the world coming to?
