How I feel about the Death Penalty

I am against the death penalty. I think it is not right to kill someone for whatever crime they made. Even though there are times when you say "that person deserves to die for his crimes" it is still not right. I also believe this because I was raised like this at home and at church to believe that the death penalty is wrong. The only time I will believe in the death penalty is if a person killed a child or raped the child and then killed them.

2011 Rap

I didn't really like any of the raps but I kind of liked the rap by Sergio G. It was good and it had current events like Libya, Hurricane Irene, the NBA Lockout, MW3, even about Michael Jackson's doctor going to jail. I really like when he mentioned the Lego man landing on the beach "How the Lego man landed on the beach remains a mystery". He wrote more than 16 lines so I think he will get disqualified, but I give him a 8/12.

Cody's diner is not open for Metro!!!!!

Students are in an outrage claiming that it is unfair especially for the upper class men. MBA students were not allowed to go to Cody's Diner during lunch as of last Thursday. Ms. Puglissi announced on the intercom that no students should go out to Cody's during lunch because Metro is a "closed campus" meaning that no one is to go out at any time and come back into school. Puglissi threatened students with suspension if she found anyone going out and returning to school.

2 ledes/leads

Who Lede: The Principal of Metropolitan Business Academy Judy Puglisi told students some shocking news the other day.

What Lede: She THREATENED students with suspension if they left during lunch to go Cody's Diner. She says that if she caught any student leaving school, they will be suspended for five days. This is an outrage, why can't we leave school to get a good lunch instead of eating the crap they give us in school?

Five Things that Make Me Mad

1. Drunk Drivers




2. Phony People!!!!!




3. People who take advantage of others!!!!!!!




4. People on Twitter who always want a RT!!!!!




5. Teachers who give us assigned seats in High School!!!!!

I hate phony people. Everyone hates phony people, except for other phony people. Phony people are meant to stay alone. They cannot be trusted. For example, you have a friends who you tell stuff to, the next thing you know they are telling everyone everything you said. People can't be trusted. Sometimes I think that there is no such thing as friends because no one can be trusted. In Catcher in the Rye, Holden talks about phony people. He says "Grand. There's a word I really hate. It's phony. I could puke every time I hear it." I agree with what he says. One of my friends in this class also hates phony people. She says "they start too much drama and they tear too many friendships apart". I also agree with her. But if you want to disagree with me go ahead I don't really care. Phony people may start with a lot of "friends" but they end up all by themselves!!!!!
