Answers: how he felt about theses questions!

1. I felt that the country needed theses Acts because it brought them a better ideal which they were being influence by.
2. I was so happy when we had gotten color TV I was the 1st from all my friends to get one. I remember all my friends coming over in watching my favorite show the name of it “Walt daisy wonderful world of color”
3. I was in the 4th grade in the principle was going around telling the teachers about john F. Kennedy it was shocking I couldn’t believe it! It was crazy!
4. I feel that MLK was one of the world best leaders ever known. His ideals influences the people in the south during this time because they were struggling a lot because they were being control by white people and after MLK did what he did it changed their lives in many different ways.
5. I feel what freedom rides did was the right thing I was friends with one of the people involved in it. He was beaten to death by the police at the age of 20. I didn’t feel that was right!
6. I was never involved in any war or battle but two of my brother were drafted one was in the army and the other in the navy because of their numbers in the lottery. Many people thought the Civil War was a huge mistake so many people died MLK was also against the war!
7. 1980 I remember I had one of the 1st computers ever made. It coast $2000 it was a lot of money but I was lucky to have one!
8. I didn’t really like Ronald Reagan’s because things he did. One of them was that he built a campaign base on people’s race. He also took the country back a long way….I think he was the 2nd worst president after the Civil war!
9. I don’t think the war going on Bush wanted to go to war with Iraq because of evidence that wasn’t real that’s how I feel about it. This has hurt us a lot all the Americans and Iraqis that have died dude to this war going on.

10. I never had been in any war or battle I protested against them!
11. I am very glad with our new president. It was time for a change. I think his a very smart and confident men and he will recovery all the damaged done these past yrs. I’m looking forward in seeing improvement!

*show RESPECT to get RESPECT!

I think that yes sometimes some thing has to go wrong so people could get along.Why do i think that will because they feel bad for what happened because most of the time they in up hurting the othr person.Also many people have to go threw the hard process of loosing someone and then wishing they had them back because they relized how good were they and all the differnt ways they hurt the other person.I dont agree with that thought why because we are soupose to treat people the way we want to be treated. Like they say in order to get RESPECT give RESPECT!!! for Ex. My bestfriend never got along with my little sister in till she saw my sister fighting with cancer. "SHE FEIL REAL BAD IN HAD NO CHOCIES BUT TO GET ALONG WITH HER"

_[PEopLe gEtiNG inVOled COUld Be HELpfuLLy aS Will as Not]

I think that the U.S. should get involved with other countries in certain occasions. Why because I believed that 2 is better then 1 with that being said i think everyone could always use a little help. Some people can deal with solutions better they other. I personally think that fighting will not get you anywhere. For example if to counties are not getting along cause both agree in different things I think that they should sit down in talk and work something out. But then theirs times that you just have to let their own counties’ resolve their own problems! I think that Iraq in the U.S. wouldn't had been having the conflict their having now if they would of just talk about what was brother each other why because so many people have died due to all of this and its not fair to everyone so this is how i feel about the U.S. getting in voled with other countries.

Think Twice Before You Open Your Mouth!...

Yes I’ve gotten in other people business. Why because things that are said that I don’t agree with or just having an opinion to give. But that’s not always good to do thought because not everyone likes listen to people’s opinions and sometimes people just talk to talk and don’t have any idea of what their talking bout and sometimes they do and just want to switch everything. For example like one day some people were talking about people that have cancer and talking about them when their hair be falling and I was sitting besides them and I heard that and it made me so mad because my little sister had been going threw that process and I knew how she felt so I said excuse me but I don’t think you all should be talking about people with cancer because you all don’t know how it feels for all your hair to fall off and the pain you feel and they told me nether do you and I got a little upset and told them of COURSE I do my little sister going threw a process now and people like that already feel hurt and don’t any more pain on them cause by ignorant people that don’t have nothing else to but make fun of others. They looked surprised but I wasn’t going to leave and felt bad because I didn’t say anything sorry but when it comes to things like that I don’t stay shut! But theirs a time and place for everything. Theirs time when we have to stay shut because we don’t have no clue of what others be talking about and then if we say something it could get them mad and we would look like some fools1 So thats why I think we should think twice before we talk…..This is how I feel about getting in other peoples business!

%Money Doesnt Always Bring Happiness To Someone%

I think that part of the time that yes people action are driven by money. A few reasons why, are don’t have enough money to get a want or need also because someone own them it and haven’t pay them back due to their agreement, or even because they just want to make someone’s life’s miserable and have a bad heart. I personally think they money will not always bring happiness why because their so many things that money can’t buy .for example you loosing someone you love, or a young girl, boy, and even a adult getting sexually abused. I think that money could make the person happy for a moment but not for ever because that pain or memories’ you’ll never forget no matter how much money they give you. People with money or no better then people that don’t have money. why do I think that because its not money who describes what type a person you are its your heart that matters meaning that someone with money could say that they always happy but inside be crying because of the way they look at others who don’t have money but with the little bite that they do have they make the best out of it and peoples appearance could show something but the inside of them a other…Theirs a few ways the wealthy get their money some of them actually work hard for meaning went to school an then collage and then became a doctor,firefighter,nurse,judge,police officer ,singers, actors and etc others get it the easy way by doing things they shouldn't’t, others open up business and have people work for them and others just be lucky n win the lottery. I don’t think that its much of a responsibility because its your money but don’t be selfish and greedy if you see someone in need help them don’t always just think about yourself r remember ones you help someone God will bless you but the double amount.therefore i don't think money cant always bring happiness.
