Blood Diamonds

If you have not heard something that I think is really wicked for any human being to do to another human being there are mean people called the R.U.F the revolutionary united front. And they are forcing very poor people to make them diamonds. There doing real evil things such as raping,killing and cut of limbs of children of baby. If a child was to find a small piece of diamond there were to give it to the boss and if they put it in there mouths or hid it or anything they were killed. I personally can't even watch this its just to sad please be careful about what diamonds you buy for all you know someone may have died making the diamond.

Chevron

Chevron is a company where they want you to think they love the forest but like a lot of other company they trick you and they only love money. If you have not heard they currently made an oil spill in Ecuador this as some of you know this is very bad for the environment it can cause cancer and poison anyone who drinks the water. please don't encourage chevron if you love the rain forest please.

the manual for life

I have just seen the manual for life and I gotta say at first I didn't understand it but at the end I finally understood it. The video is about someone believing in something different that nobody else believed in. I can't really say if I agree or disagree with the message but if I believed in something that nobody believed in I would keep believing no matter what. And if you believe in something that nobody else believes in you should too.

Ulysses S. Grant


Ulysses S. Grant was born on April 27, 1822 in Point Pleasant, Ohio. He died in July 23, 1885 because of throat cancer. He was also president of the United States 1869-1877. Ulysses S. Grant is personally my hero and not only because he was a great general he was also a hard working and determined man. He was a very respected general in the north during the civil war. He first became a hero at the battle of Vicksburg when he asked for no terms when the south accepted defeat. All he asked for was unconditional surrender. He also lead the union to one of the biggest battles, the battle of Shiloh, which was a union victory and lasted two days. On the first day, he was driven back, but having got re-enforcements he beat the south. At the end of the war, he shook hands with another great general Robert E. Lee and let them keep their horses. Therefore, Ulysses S. Grant is my Hero.
