Pets (T2B53)

Humans are so selfish. They keep dogs as pets with no other second thought. The result of this is a bunch of old and sick dogs who die in shelters because they just don't look "cute" enough. Link. We only keep pets for our own selfish desire. We aren't doing any kinds of favours for them.

Zika Virus (T2B52)

Not a good time to be a mosquito or a human Zika Virus.

30 Million Years (T2B51)

Let's hope you won't live for 30 million years because a giant smith cloud will crash into our galaxy and do god knows what. Link. Here's a reason to not pay a lot of money to have your body frozen for a few million years from now.

Trump (T2B50)

My friend thinks that Donald Trump should be president because we would have war.

Student Loan (T2B29)

So this student wasn't able to get a student loan because she was apparently "dead". How did they even get the idea that she died?

Chess (T2B48)

Sometimes I wonder if Garry Kasparov lost to the IBM chess robot purely because he was too nervous or just that he messed up. Link. We are only human after all.

Roller Coaster (T2B47)

The worst roller coasters allow you to pedal at your own pace. Link.

Reunite (T2B46)

I wonder what its like to be reunited with someone 70 years later. Link.

School Shooting (T2B45)

I seriously can't believe that a teen would have the guts to shoot his own classmates. Link. I thought this kind of stuff only happened in America.

The First Space Flower (T2B44)

So apparently, NASA just planted a new flower on the space station. Link. However, they used too many resources to try to keep them alive.

Efforts (T2B43)

In his efforts to attract Christian voters, Donald Trump recites a phrase from the bible, only to misquote the holy book: Link. Seriously, I think that this offends Christians even more...

Biodiversity Museum (T2B42)

Today, I visited the Biodiversity Museum in UBC and it was very boring as the tour guide spent way too much time speaking, and too little time for our own self-discovery. Also, the displays were all locked up behind the black cabinets except for a label of the specimen. I found that the public transit and the activity was the most interesting part of the field trip.

Our Strange Obsession (T2B41)

Did you realize how humans tend to find patterns in nature that look like humans? Take this for example: Walking Person on Clouds.

Debate Conference (T2B40)

A few weeks ago, my Applied Skills class had a debate regarding the topic of homelessness and ideal actions to carry out. During this debate, one of my classmates introduced a quite different idea, and received extreme negative responses from the majority of the class.

Although I remained silent throughout most of the debate, I was extremely upset about the behaviour of my classmates that were both immature and unnecessarily critical. This was especially true when I saw my classmates disrespecting her on group chat while calling her extremely mean names. To find that no one stood up for her was so upsetting. These students who think themselves to be such bright students are nothing but immature, narrow - minded students.

Polar Expression (T2B39)*

Last week, I received a letter from the poetry competition I entered in November stating that I have been listed as top 25% of the entries and will proceed to final judging! I was actually quite disappointed because my English teacher said that I "won", when actually I just passed preliminary judging...

*Today, I'm going to try actually blogging about my life.

Syrian Refugees? (T2B38)

Recently when shopping, I found a Syrian refugee that was crying with her children while displaying a cardboard sign that said, "Single mom, 4 children." After many hours, they walked home with a pack of bread. They would probably only have bread and canned fruits for dinner.

I don't know what Justin Trudeau should have done. Should he allow more refugees to come where they might become homeless and starving, or should we leave them where they used to live where there is war? It seems horrible to leave them out at war, but even more when I see them starving and crying for their dinner.

Economy Explained (T2B37)

If you know nothing about the economy in our world, these cows will teach you. Link.

Alan Rickman (T2B36)

Wow. To see so many Harry Potter movies and realize that Alan Rickman, the actor for Severus Snape just died at the age of 70 yesterday.

(Fake Money) T2B35

So there actually is a use for our new paper cash Article.

Canada's Economy (T2B34)

Apparently the Canadian toonie briefly dipped to 70 American cents. Link. Please tell me this is not Justin Trudeau's fault.

Teratoma (T2B33)

So a cougar was found with another set of teeth and whiskers on his forehead. Link. It could be caused by a teratoma, a tumor which can sometimes grow, eyes, brains, teeth, or small organs. Ew...

Hippo Water Roller (T2B32)

A few African engineers made a roller to transport water.

I feel like a better invention would be to make a roller that can somehow purify water as you roll. Link to original website: Hippo Water Roller.

Syrian Refugees (T2B31)

So apparently some Syrian refugees at the Vancouver welcoming event got sprayed with pepper by a oncoming guy on a motorcycle. Link. Now the police is investigating to find out who that guy is.

It's funny how the police care more about the Syrian refugees than some our own citizens that are currently homeless and are being assaulted. Instead, they decide to investigate some guy that didn't even cause physical harm to some refugees. So many people in our country are constantly pepper sprayed, so why don't they care then?

Should Canada invite more people into our country, or should we protect and nourish our own citizens first? We want to be nice, but we should care about our own too.

Science Projects (T2B30)

You know those genius kids who discover that we can use newspaper as biofuel? It's funny how they get acknowledged a whole lot at the awards ceremony but no one uses their inventions in our communities. Here's an example: Link. No one even thought about using the newspaper biofuel for cars though... Wouldn't that be a lot cheaper? 

New Year Surprise! (T2B29)

Apparently this guy ran naked wearing a mask of a politician peeping through people's windows on New Years. The temperature outside was 4 degrees celcius. Link.

I don't know what's more funny, that it was 4 degrees outside or he was wearing a politician's face when running around!

Obama Issues (T2B28)

Obama continues to stubbornly link gun violence with guns. Link.

This has GOT to be the funniest article I've ever read. Especially surgeon Ben Carson's quote, "Even if every gun in the world suddenly disappeared, there would still be gun violence."Anyways, it's totally laughing at those people that criticize a lot!

And the Cycle Repeats (T2B27)

Why I don't like Justin Trudeau:

1. He gets votes from idiots to legalize marijuana.

2. People get addicted to Marijuana.

3. He warns people on the consequences of legalizing Pot. Link.

4. People don't care.

5. Justin Trudeau screws up and decides to take away legalization of marijuana.

6. People get angry.

7. Bob Justin Pierre Trudeau becomes next Prime Minister.

8. Bob Justin Pierre Trudeau makes heroin legal.

9. Steve Bob Justin Pierre Trudeau becomes next Prime Minister...

Thriving Garden Plants? (T2B26)

Ever wonder what happened to the seed you planted into a sealed bottle? This guy planted a seed and left it out in the sun, only to discover that it had grown into big mess of leaves. He states that the water evaporating is constantly raining down on the plants for a water source. Wow. Link.

2016 Liberal Promises (T2B25)

As we all know, the Liberals promised us legalized Marijuana, physician assisted dying, and helping to stop ISIS. Link.

I don't really care about legalized Marijuana except that it smells really bad, and that the smell's starting to occupy my school. I really don't think we should do much about the ISIS because Canada's army sucks and that we would be a easy target for them anyways. The only thing I'm really ok with is physician assisted dying, but what bothers me is that how a person can judge themselves to make it an eligible option for them? Also, it would be especially difficult for a physician's job when agreeing to kill someone. Won't people think that the doctor is a murderer?

How much longer until people start hating Justin Trudeau?

Hacking?! (T2B24)

OMG! Apparently some Chinese authorities were hacking into people's microsoft accounts! Link.

Microsoft is now starting to notify people if their accounts were suspected of being hacked.
