Braves have had a good run this year. Despite the haters, we will win the world series. Together we will work as a team and hopefully win four of the seven games to require a World Series win. We will defeat the Red Sox in style and they will cry all the way home to their mama. So win you hear the Braves win the World series you know who to go to to be like...He told ya so...

 How would you respond if you were convicted of plagiarism?
I would be very argumentive that I did not do it. I most likely wouldn't me convicted of it, because that's not how I roll. Everyone has things that are important to them, and copying their words is not very respectful.

How would your parents respond?
My parents would be furious that I would do such a thing. They would make me retype the whole thing and apologize to the person I stole from.

Do you feel as if you deserve a passing grade because you parents pay tuition?

No. Just because my parents pay has nothing to do with my passing grades. They are paying for the quality of teachers and the Christian environment. Not the grade.


 Does this story affect your view of plagiarism?

Yes. I don't want to do it bcause it is not respectful. I wouldn't want someone to do this to me. I would be extremely angry also.

What do you take away from this narrative?

Everyone makes mistakes and they are to learn from. Hopefully these kids havelearned their lesson and will never plagiarize again. I sure know I never will.

1. Is play endorsement?

I do not believe play is endorsement, because it's simply a video game. If someone wants to play it, let them play. Just because it is a violent video game doesn't mean it harms us as people. We play the game and when we are done we are fine with everything.

2. What do you get from playing?


Well I do not receive something, obviously. I get entertainment out of the game as a waste of time or just to chill and relax. Having downtime as a person could include playing this game in out freetime.


3. Who else in your life is playing?


My young friend, and scholar Griffin Boyte III seems to enjoy the game as well as I do. We both see no problem in playing this game, because it is a video game not real life. It depends on how mature you are and who you are as a person. If you are a psycho you probably don't need to play this AWESOME game.

4. Do you know when to quit?


I do know when to quit. Because if I didn't quitI would take it as real life and kill people and steal cars whenever I wanted to. If your parents approve of you playing the game, then it is probably just fine.


5. Should Christians who are indwelt by the Lord Jesus Christ have moral issues with killing people in a virtual world?


This is not the real world, this is an "imaginary" world. I do not think that a video game should seperate us from Jesus even though killing is bad. I think if we have the maturity level to play this game, and then be fine afterwards, then it is fine to play the game.

Ever since September 11, 2001, everyone has been in complete shock. It was a horrible day for our whole country, and still is on the top of our mind today. Losing a loved on this day has to be the most painful experience in the world. Several acts of war have been expressed throughout the world since the attack, which is from the main cause of terrorism. Terrorism to me makes no since. It has taken a tolld on the world, and how it functions. If everything was just peaceful, everyone would not even think to act upon terrorism. In my mind, the United States should work together and do something about it.

An Atlanta Braves fan fell to his death at Turner Field in a game last week. Apparently he was intoxicated and yelled “Braves suck” and then plummeted to his death.Hopefully next time someone tries to do this it can be stopped and help prevent someone from losing their life over something like this.

Smoking in my opinion is absurd. Here is what the news has to say about "e-smoking." "One out of 10 American high school students used electronic cigarettes in 2012, along with nearly 3% of middle school students, according to a new federal report. That's about double the rate of e-cigarette use in 2011 and translates into 1.78 million children and teens who have tried the battery-powered devices.

The sharp increase has public health experts worried. Electronic cigarettes contain the addictive chemical nicotine and traces of cancer-causing compounds called nitrosamines. The safety profile of the devices has not been fully studied, according to warnings from the Food and Drug Administration.
In addition, e-cigarettes are sold with cartridges that give them enticing flavors such as mint or chocolate, and health advocates fear they have the potential to turn teens on to regular cigarettes.
"The increased use of e-cigarettes by teens is deeply troubling," Dr. Tom Frieden, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said in a statement. "Many teens who start with e-cigarettes may be condemned to struggling with a lifelong addiction to nicotine and conventional cigarettes."
The new study, published in Friday's edition of the CDC's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, is based on data from the National Youth Tobacco Survey. It found that 1.1% of students in grades 6 through 8 were using e-cigarettes at least once a month, as were 2.8% of students in grades 9 to 12.
Among these regular e-cigarette users, 76.3% also smoked traditional cigarettes. But the report's authors — from the FDA's Center for Tobacco Products and the CDC's Office on Smoking and Health — expressed particular concern about students who had used e-cigarettes but had not yet tried conventional cigarettes. The researchers estimated that 160,000 students across the country fell into that category.
"The risk for nicotine addiction and initiation of the use of conventional cigarettes or other tobacco products" among these students is a "serious concern," they wrote.
Cigarette smoking is responsible for more than 440,000 deaths each year, including 49,400 due to secondhand smoke, according to the CDC. Tobacco use is the No. 1 cause of preventable death in the U.S., and it contributes to cancers of the lung and other organs, cardiovascular disease and respiratory ailments."
