How To Survive a Zombie Apocalypse

How To Survive a Zombie Apocalypse

              Civilization as you know it has ended. Only few uninfected people are left. Most likely all your friends are zombies, your family is a zombie, and your dog is a zombie. You, on the other hand, have not been infected. Here are a few simple tricks to survive a zombie apocalypse.

Step 1: Stay in a confined area.
 It is important that you have a place that you know like the back of your hand. You need to know all of its exits, tunnels, rooms, and so on. That way if there happens to be a break in, you know the nearest exit. There should also a numerous amount of exits and escape routes throughout your confined area. As long as you have a way to escape, then you are somewhat safe.

Step 2: Have a maximum amount of weapons and ammo. 
 The preferred weapon for a zombie apocalypse is a firearm. If that happens to be your weapon of choice, you can never have too much ammo. You should have a gun on you at all times with at least 2 more magazine refills. You should also have weapons scatter throughout the area which you will be staying in. The weapons can be melee or lethal. The best melee weapons should be something that is lightweight, but won't break when you hit the zombie. Knives are not a good choice because you can get the zombie's blood on you and then you will be infected.

Step 3: Stock up and keep food, water, and supplies in bag. 
 The best kind of food to keep on you is rations or MRE's. MRE means Meal Ready to Eat. You should keep them in a bag, or backpack, that you will have on at all times. This backpack should be a Camelbak. Camelbak is a company that makes backpacks with water bladders for storing water. You should keep your ammo and rations in that bag so that you have everything with you. You could leave the compound anytime you want to.

Step 4: Be medically and chemically prepared.
 Being medically and chemically prepared is key to survival. First aid kits can be found at almost any store. You would want to get a first aid kit with: bandages, alcohol wipes, medical tape, scissors, needles, antibacterial cream, and head bandages. Being chemically prepared is also key. For example, say you have no more water, but you know where there is a river. You have a portable filtration system. You pump the water through the filters and now you've got clean water.

Step 5: Know how to use your weapons. 
 What good does a gun do if you have know idea how to use it. Melee weapons are self explanatory, all you have to do is raise the bat and swing. You should go to a shooting range once and a while so that you can get experience in the field of firearms. You should have at least 3 firearms: an assault rifle, a shotgun, and a sniper. The greatest ammo you could have are called hollow points. A hollow point is an explosive bullet that explodes on contact. Now you're ready for a zombie apocalypse.

How to Survive a Little Kids Birthday Party


Have you ever been to a party that is for a little kid? It can be the most boring thing ever. I can't take being at those at all. If you are wondering why it is so bad, I will explain in a few steps on How to Survive a Little Kids Birthday Party.

Don't talk to the kids
When I say don't talk to them I mean all of them. Trust me little kids say the weirdest things. Then can also talk about random things that will bore you but, you can't make them stop talking. Sitting by yourself and being alone can be one of the safest things to do at a kids birthday party.

Stay with your family
Don't wander around because you might end up getting lost or you might get trapped with the little kids. People sometimes tend to not like their siblings but, when your at a party where you don't know anybody then, your gonna talk and stay with your siblings the whole time. Trust me i do this a lot because I don't wanna get stuck talking to people that I don't know. At these party's family can be the most precious thing to you.

Stay away from the pinata
Kids are crazy! When they see the parents hanging up the pinata they go crazy because they want the candy. Kids are like little race cars when there hopped up on candy. So, when the see it fall from the pinata they rush for it and grab as much as then can. Also, sometimes people put blindfolds on the kids when their hitting the pinata and when that kid is swinging and your near him/her you might end up getting whacked rite in the face.

Act like your having fun
Parents hate to see their kids bored at a birthday party trust me. They probably hate it because there are so many activities and fun stuff to do at a party. When they look at you they  want to see a smile not a zombie  slouched in his chair. Even though  kids  party's can be boring you gotta hang in there.

If asked to play with the kids don't do it
By this I mean if a kid comes up to you and says hey you wanna come play with me respond no. The reason I say that is because your gonna get thrown around like a rag doll. Especially if they have a jumper. I have been in a situation if where when i went in a jumper I got rampaged on by a bucket load of little kids. You make think well I'm bored so, I might as well go play with them but, you're going to regret it.

Even though some people throw amazing birthday party's a kids one is the worst. So if you're ever in the position where your parents ask you if you want to go to a kid's birthday party just walk away from the question. Hopefully if you get stuck at a kid's birthday party you will find these tips useful because you're gonna need luck to survive a little kids birthday party if you mess up one of these rules.

HOW to SURVIVE being the YOUNGEST:



Oh being the youngest of 4! What a great experience... if you know how to handle it correctly. Everyone has their little secrets at being successful in any given situation, luckily mine is being the youngest. There are 5 crucial steps in surviving...BEING THE YOUNGEST!!!! I know being the youngest can suck BAD, but my steps will help you honest. You ALWAYS need to be as sweet as possible, learn the DADDY line, don't let those older siblings get to you, remember you will always be younger than them, therefore prettier, and last but not least be happy that you'll get to do All the stuff they did but FASTER!!!! Listen to me and being the youngest will be a breeze.







  1. You ALWAYS need to be as sweet as possible



  2. learn the DADDY line



  3. don't let those older siblings get to you



  4. remember you will always be younger than them, therefore prettier



  5. be happy that you'll get to do All the stuff they did but FASTER!!!!

You ALWAYS need to be as sweet as possible:

The key to being as sweet as can be is FAKING it, I know seems crazy but its true. Well unless you actually ARE sweet which I doubt, we are all mischievous in our own ways. What we all do is act so sweet in front of our parents they could never believe that we would do anything bad, and that is exactly where we want them muahahahahaa!! So NEVER ever show your lets say dark side to your parents (it will foil our plan). Just be sweet don't talk back and well basically be the perfect child.

Learn the DADDY line:

Oh the DADDY line, a true wonder of the world. Now if your as good of an actor as I think you are we will do JUST fine with this next lesson. Now honestly I do the MOMMY line way more often than the DADDY line. So it doesn't matter exactly who you use this line with but HOW you do it that is key. So onto the actual lesson, you need to be able to get (said parent) alone away from the other, it is too much of a risk to try to do them both at the same time ( you might be caught as well). You sit them down and try to start off as sweet as possible, than do a little pleassssse and either MOMMY or DADDY than BAM you've hooked them and now just use your awesome persuasion skills that I know you have and it is all smooth sailing from here. :)


Don't let those older siblings get to you:

Older siblings are the WORST, they have no idea how horrible being the youngest is in general and than they come in all bigger and all mighty!!! So my advice and this one is short, get even (SOMETIMES) every once in a while those siblings need to learn a lesson, and who will be there to do it YOU, yup that's right. Now this isn't permission to go all sorts of CRAZY on them but yeah maybe a pie in the face or items like that, NOT anything that will danger their life or yours. Be safe with your pranks,( I am NOT liable for anything that happens, you were warned) they can be funny but not cruel, there is a fine line between those two. Hey maybe getting even isn't your style great, I commend you for that, than oh different idea, kill them with KINDNESS!!! Yeah I know you must think I am crazy but it works, the older siblings get the power because YOU let them, if they are mean to you, you be nice to them. They will be all "whaaaaaat?" yes they will get all confused because of your more superior intellect and you were smart enough to come and read my AMAZING blog so I know you have good taste. So do as I say and you will be grand. :)

Remember you will always be younger than them, therefore prettier:

Honestly this is the only TRUE benefit I see about being the youngest. When your older siblings brag about what they can do I come out with " well whatever, I will do that eventually too and I will ALWAYS be younger and therefore look prettier" and always end with a smile and walk away. Keep reminding them of this and they will shut right up aha. Short little lesson, hoped it helped you all.


Be happy that you'll get to do All the stuff they did but FASTER!!!! :

I can't necessarily explain the knowledge of this, but all I know is that its TRUE, 100 % (in most cases). I believe it's because your the last child and most parent's want to spoil you (BIG benefit) and well at least I say this: because you and I are both AWESOME! But according to your parent's you are their "baby" (ugh I hate being called that) and so you get to do ALL the stuff your siblings did but earlier! I love that fact and I felt as if you should know this, make you feel better.


Now I have taught you all I know young grasshopper and now I leave the AWESOME advice I gave you and pray you put it too good use. I have done all I can, use your talented gifts for... I WOULD say good, but bad is more fun, but you shouldn't do that either so use them for IN BETWEEN! Now off you go and so shall I, I know you'll do great. :)

Stop blaming your parents

Kids have been blaming thier parents for as long as we know. Parents are not to blame though. Yeah maybe some parents have treated there kids poorly but, in the end it's not their fault. People blame their parents for all sorts of things that you can imagine at the top of your head. Parents do nothing but, love and support you no matter what they say to you. Parents have been the scapegoat for this situation for a very long time. You people need to accept the fact that it's YOUR OWN fault that your childhood sucked. Overall, they probally tried their best to keep you happy. Go here

Tv is disturbing

I have recently found out that tv can be very disturbing. They say that watching too much tv can be dangerous for you. I find this disturbing because of all the effects it puts on you in different ways. I found out that that if your over the age of 25, every hour you spend in front of the tv cuts 22 minuetes of your lifespan. Just 2 hours in front of your tv can raise the chance of you developing type 2 diabetes. Also, your heart diesase can increase by 20 percent! Overall, I believe that this is disturbing because of all the effects it puts on you. I can't believe that watching tv can be a dangerous thing for people. To find out more about this topic go here.

Group... I HATE IT!!!!!!!

I hate group work because it will always end up in an argument. Group work is sometimes frustrating because if someone in  your group doesn't agree with you it always turns out into some kind of argument. That's why I'm not really a big fan about group work. Plus some people don't even do their part of there work, they always let the other person do their work. I hate group work because there was this one time I was in kindergarten and my teacher Mrs. Fleming, she paired me up with my cousin Amy. And let me she didn't do any of the work. I DID ALL THE WORK!!!! It really sucked but I got here back, I threw mud in her underwear:)

And then I had to do a group project in 6th grade and it was horrible. We had to make the solar system and I was the only person who did all the work. I painted it and I got the stuff and they all ended up getting the same grade as me. And that's how they passed the 6th grade. But I hope now they suffered a great deal now that I'm not there to do all the work for them. My brothers well they had to do a lot of group work and they all said that they hate it because they get stuck with the stupid people. I think my brother Andy is the only person who likes group work because he can hang out with his friends. Plus my personal experiences I really hate group work. I honestly hope I don't have to go through that ever again.

hidden rules

ok well there are hidden rules to anything.Anything you could think of. well here are my hidden rules to being me.

One rule being is that I don't care what people say. If I were to care what people said I would be another stuck up model of society. NO!!!!!! That would be so boring. If everyone would be another stuck up model of society everyone would be the same. No individuality. If I were to be what everyone said I should be I would be a stuck up little princess that doesn't talk to there parents because everything that I do to impress my friends would get me in trouble.

Two I am unique. Yeah I know that everyone is unique but I'm not afraid to admit it. seriously i like to run around yelling my favorite song at the top of my lungs. I would do it in pubic to if I didn't get in trouble every time I did it. Sticking to my opinion even if everyone else's differs from my own.

Three have an undying love for music. listen to it all day and all night, and if i find an absolutely fantabulously awtasticly amazing song play it on rerun afor days and days. listen it to when ever you can. Dont be afraid to express the kind of music you like. and if you hate a song that everyone else loves.... laugh at the idiots for not having an brain.

And if you still reading this go get a life and don't try to be me seriously i know im awsome but its not cool there is only one me.

Mother's Day


Mother's day what a great day? I found something very shocking regarding the founder of Mother's day. Turns out Anna Jarvis who started it all did not like it. As soon as she started it she wanted it gone. She began a campaign for its abolition! Shocking, you would have thought the person who founded mother's day would have been proud, guess not. She did not succeed of course. She complained that she wanted it to be “a day of sentiment, not profit,” but instead had become a great opportunity for greeting cards to sell which she saw as “a poor excuse for the letter you are too lazy to write.”(wow someone felt very strongly about this!) According to this research I have done she and her sister spent her family assets trying to end Mother's day! She even got arrested for protesting at a sale of carnations(is this a flower) for Mother's day. She also hated that greeting card companies and florists are getting profit out of this Holiday! It ate at her thinking companies were getting money out of this! And SURPRISE surprise, Anna never had children. If anyone is reading this and don't believe me read this article it's all the proof I need :)
Well have a great Mother's day anyway! I am defying her wishes and making my mom feel special :) Have a great day everyone.

Second Review of Five Guys


Today I went to five guys again and I have an even better impression then I had when I went the first time. I got a normal burger on their menu with my normal toppings but I realized I had got a little one last time (the little ones are still big) and when I finished ordering and went to get my drink they have this thing that has ten or more different kinds of soda and most had the options of adding vanilla, cherry, raspberry, vanilla cherry, lime, and orange. When I saw this and found out u can still mix whatever you want I got coke with cherry, vanilla, cherry vanilla, lime, and some normal coke. I also tried their Cajun fries and they are pretty good but I can’t say that they are my favorite. Over all I think that Five Guys is still a great place to eat and even better with that amazing soda machine.

Group work


I think that group work is a good thing. Group work in school or work or even at home is a good thing under the right conditions. At school it is good because it can give students a chance to meet new people and make new friends. This can go bad however if you have students who are off task and skrew around a lot in a group together nothing will get done, however if you put a good student or two in a group of students who don’t work then you might change how they act and get their work done. My dad works in an office and sometimes talks about how he has to work with multiple people on projects and how he would have had trouble just on his own. At home group work can be good because the whole family gets to help with something no matter what it is. In the end group work is a great thing and should be used more often.

Smart Suicide

In m personal opinion group work is quite idiotic. I'm not saying that i hate it because there were time that i liked it like in my art class me and two other people had to work on a big painting. now that was fun. but working in a group for a class progect like in history science or English frustrates me. no one ever listens to my ideas or thoughts they are to worked up on there own idiotic thoughts. History is an annoying subject were we are all frustreated about doing work and learning about DEAD people. Science is frustrating and annoying were all the really weird stupid kids seem to be amazing at for some strange reason

Ok. wee first of all group work is about everyone putting in there own ideas and combining them to get something really amazing out of it but instead i see everyone fighting over what is best and what they should be doing. In some cases the group is filled with really stupid people that all have the same idea that is quite idiotic and theycant do anything about it because they screwed up and chose to work with the stupidist people on eart knowing they are idiotic as well.

And in most cases you see a really smart educated person committing suicide to there grades and time. I know that in the past when people ask me to be on there team i have straight up told the "NO!!! You are the dumbest person i know i ill never work with you!" and in most cases those are usually my friends. when ever my mom asks me to help my younger sister with her projects for school i try to help her but that only honsetly last five minutes untill i get so mad and annoyed that i do the whole project and have my sister walk out with an a project. And as she comes out with all the rewards and praises and everything i am stuck in her sort little shadows with nothig for bssicly handing my sister an A+ project.

There have been times that i work in a group i do almost all the work and the group still gets mad at me. they say i dot take anything seriously and that they should just ditch me and have me start my own project and get an f. honestly if they were stuck with my A+ project they would still screw up and get an F while i end the project with a A+.

Of i were to ask some one about how there group project went i would honestly walk up to the smartest most determined person of the group and hand them a baseball bat to get all the IDIOTS in there groups that need to have the sense KNOCKED into there tiny little brains

In conclusion every time a teacher says that w have to work in groups i am half tempted to jump off a bridge so i dont have to work in that group anymore. GROUP WORK SUCK

Group Work Sucks

    Working in groups sucks and it makes me mad. Most people are too dumb to comprehend the instructions and tasks that are needed to complete the assessment. Do not let this happen to yourself when unnecessary. You might want to "protect" yourself at all times.

     Awhile ago, my 7th grade history teacher decided that it was time for a group project. My first insticnt was to work with some good friends of mine. EEHH! Wrong choice. They ended up leaving me with all the work and one of them didn't even show up half the time. Do not, I repeat do not, work with your good friends, they will leave you with the work. The other unfair thing is that they get the same grade as you on the project. This is the dumbest decision you can make when you're working in a group.

     The kind of person that you want to work with if you have to work in a group, is a person with the same intellect and work ethic as you. That way neither of you will have to do all the work. Plus, the grade that you get will be the actual grade you both deserve. Last but not least, make sure that both you and your partner are both attending the class daily, that way noone will miss the assignment that was given that day. This is the smartest decision you can make when you're working in a group.

Group Work..SUCKS

       

photo by: Peter Samis

         Some people say that group work is a good thing. I personally.....DISAGREE! Group work sucks because you're not always guaranteed a good grade. People sometimes mess up or don't do their assigned portion. In my own experience, I recently had a group project with 2 other people. One of the girls was right on track and didn't wait till last minute while the other girl did. It can become a big stress because then you have to worry about the lolly-gaggers work when you have your own to do.

        Group work could also be a good thing because you have less work to do but you end up stressed trying to figure out when you guys will meet up somewhere and work on it. Another problem is that not everyone is going to go and work with the rest of the group. You pretty much have to bust your rear just to make sure you get a passing grade.
       
        Usually a teacher that assigns group project also gives peer evaluation sheets. When you're filling out one of these papers, don't feel bad to rat anyone out. Do it! They deserve it anyways. Why would you let yourself get marked down when all you can do is tell the teacher that "they waited until last minute" or "they didn't do any of it so I had to do their's too". It would help you out with the buckets full of stress.
       

Group Work Sucks

People often complain about working in groups for projects because no one ever helps out. To be honest i think that is true. People are often lazy and hope to get a smart person in there group so that particular person can do all the work. Essentially that is true but, some people actually get along with there group members and try to help out in the project.

From personal experience i hate group work but, teachers love it. Like some teachers randomly pair you up in groups or let you choose. Some of you may think it's better to choose the people you want in your group but, those people are mainly your friends. They may distract you from the work so you won't be able to get it done. Most people that are put into your group are obviously slackers. At least one or half of the group will do NOTHING!! I have worked in groups that have not helped at all and it frustrates me to see them get the same exact grade that I got. Overall, I think group work sucks and maybe doing things on your own will be a better decision for you.

The drinking age.....being lowered?

There are a a lot of people out there that think the drinking age should be lowered to the age of 18. for many reasons including we are officially adults when we are at the age of 18, who's to say we cant drink......Well those people are dead wrong.

From the age 18 to 21 there are 3 years to still learn from. in those three years we will learn and mature more. we will learn to ACT like adults and not the CHILDREN that have been under there parents care the whole time.I think that if you jeep the drinking age at the age it is right now more people will understand that drinking is not a stupid game that you can recover from easily. People need to understand that everyday there are people getting DUI'S for drinking and driving at the same time, there are people going to REHAB phicilities that people get checked into for being to addicted to alcohol, there are desieses that you can get from drinking everyday, and worst of all......death!!!!!!!!


Im not saying its not good to drink. I couldn't honestly care less about people drinking in there spare time. BUT when i think about it in a majority I don't think that people should take it lightly. its a serious thing and handing the privilege to people who don't really know what they are doing is kind of idiotic.

Working in a group: good or bad???

I say that it can go either way. Groups can be good, but they can go horribly wrong! Teamwork is a wonderful thing, I mean on tests we tend to call it teamwork but no the teachers call it cheating, but whatever. There are two sides of the story, and I will yammer on about both of them. :)

There are good things about teamwork, like if you get stuck you have someone to refer to and see what you did wrong. Also(this is just between us) it gives you time to talk with everyone, not necessarily about the subject, but hey you get to talk! You also talk about the subject OF COURSE but not the WHOLE time ha ha. We always need an opportunity to discuss what is going on, just without the teacher if you catch my drift. It's easier to hear how to do things from a fellow classmate, they know how to word it so it is simpler. There is always two sides to every story and this was only one.

Oh the bad side...I love writing for this side :D I have no idea why I do, but I just always have more to say about the negative side of things, is that weird? (comment) I have a lot of snarky comments :D Oh and especially with group work!!! There are always the immature, naive, stupid people you have in groups! They are always goofing off and not taking things seriously, I hate it when you get stuck with people like that! When I say you know this is gonna make your life horrible and they go oh I don't care or when I say you should really listen they say nah I'm good! Can you believe that ,it ticks me of!!!!!! I would prefer working alone, but if I have to I will establish this: you do your work I do mine, we don't have to talk. Yup I think that is very a efficient way to handle those types of things. :)

As I said before there are good and bad things to EVERYTHING in life and the words of Ms.K: face it that's life you gotta accept it, just be prepared. There will always be sides, which side you choose is all up to you. Just don't be the person who does nothing and goofs off, do your work THAN goof off and in that order!

Drinking Age... Yay or Nay?

photo by: drewcipher

    There has been a lot of debate lately about the drinking age. Some people want it to stay the same and others want it to be lowered to 18. The people that think it should stay at 21 think that it is the best idea. But the people that want to change it, clearly think that they are 100% correct. My belief is that the drinking age should stay the same.
     
       The first reason why I think it should stay the same is teens could take advantage of the change of age. "If a youth starts drinking alcohol before age 14...becoming addicted or having an alcohol-related crash or getting into a fight increases". Teens will get addicted and die of lung cancer because of their lust for more kinds of deadly drugs. Teenagers shouldn't have the risk of getting lung cancer that early in life.

      The second reason why it should be kept the same is keeping the age to 21 can save a bunch of peoples' lives. People who decide to drink and drive can kill innocent people who belong to families that care about them. Why would you risk your own life? "...Raising the drinking age to 21 saves about 800 lives a year." This research shows why the drinking age should stay the same.

   "What we're doing now to prevent underage drinking isn't working; it's time to try something else." That is pure foolishness! Why would you encourage teens to drink? COME ON! Get real. Kids can become addicted and die a long  and painful death. They have a loving family so why destroy it with a tragedy? You shouldn't cheer people on to do drugs, that's just nonsense.


Debate on drinking age

Lately, people have been debating between the issue of lowering the drinking age. Some people think that the drinking age should stay at 21 because teenagers won't be able to control their drinking habits. They think that way because teenagers have died in car crashes because they were under the influence. While other people believe that it should be lowered to 18 as long as you have a permit. I think it should be lowered to 18.

The main reason I believe it should be lowered is because people are gonna start to drink early anyways. When they go to party's I'm pretty sure there is gonna be alcohol there. The next reason is that people under 21 are gonna find a way to get alcohol so they might as well just lower the drinking age.

I honestly don't care wether the law drops the drinking age to 18. I just know either way people under 21 are gonna find a way to start drinking even though their not aloud to.

Lowering the Drinking Age

    A debate is going on about whether or not the drinking age should be lowered from 21 to 18. One side believes that lowering the drinking age can cause drinking-related accidents to go up. The other side believes that teenagers should be able to drink at 18 as long as you have a permit. The permit would be given to you after you have taken a class. I believe that lowering it is a good idea as long as you have a permit.

     One argument that I have read is that keeping the drinking age at 21 just shifts the age of the people who get into the accidents. This statement is true. For example, if there was a middle school that allowed 8 year olds to attend, the age of the people who get educated is just shifted. The accidents would still be the same. The fatalities would still be at the same rate. The age group is only shifted, not preventional. If fate says it is your time, then its your time. There is nothing you can do to cause it or to prevent it.

      Another argument of mine, is that with the permit, they would have to be educated to get it. The more educated you get about something, the less likely you are to have an accident with it. As an example, say you take a gun class. If you pass that class, then you have proved that you know how to maintain the gun. Same goes for the drinking class. If you take the drinking class, the less likely you are to cause an accident.

     According to the American Medical Association, keeping the drinking age at 21 prevents 800 fatalities a year. That is not really an argument. Again, the age is just shifted up to 21 and thats where most of the fatalities happen. On another note, that just proves that if the people are educated and know what they're doing, then they are less likely to have and accident. My opinion is that the drinking age should be lowered to 18 as long as the 18 year olds who are drinking have a permit to do so.

REFLECTION POST


There is a lot of discussion about whether or not the drinking age should be lowered to eighteen. There are two sides to this debate. One side say's it is OK to drink at eighteen but with a drinking permit, the other side side say's no, keep it at twenty-one, why waste precious time and money on this pointless discussion!? I believe we should keep it at 21. There's no issue with it, so why fix something that isn't broken?! I have two reasons that will help my case: less chance of underage drinking and this law saves lives every ear.

If we keep this law at twenty-one, there is a lower chance of underage drinking. I mean " A 16 year old or a 14 year old doesn't look 21, but they may look 18." Let's face it kids will find a way to get a fake I.D, but it will be and is less believable if the law say's twenty-one instead of eighteen. We fourteen year old and sixteen year old's have a way too look older than our age. We work in mysterious ways. We can wear clothing way to old for us and if you are a girl make up does wonders. This is not the only reason, also this law saves lives every year.

When you are eighteen, you are still new to driving, combine that with alcohol and you get BAD results. "When you see younger people starting to drink, if they combine that with driving it results in a lot of fatalities." See even this article knows what it is talking about. There are so many young deaths related to drinking, wouldn't you do everything in your power to prevent this? This law "saves about 800 lives a year." People might think oh only 800 that isn't that many, but guess what, it is precious lives saved! If it were me I would say no to lowering the drinking age.

So people are saying yeah lower that drinking age, but only if we have a permit! I think that is plain garbage. We already have driving permits, why the heck would a person pay even MORE money to pay for a " drinking " permit. If a person was interested in getting educated about alcohol, they would go out and get it! This idea will just I don't know get people more angry with this issue, so don't even suggest it anymore.

Propaganda techniques

There were many propaganda techniques during the time of the holocaust.

MAKE IT BIG
a big techniques was making it huge. They had posters of fat Jewish men. Ok well that is an obvious example of making it BIG but I think they meant something different from that bigs. They used many signs an posters to scare people. In some cases yet said that Jews were the reasons for the death of Jesus Crist. Now that last example is big. I definitely know that I would be scared of they were the reasons for the death of my savior.
MAKE IT SIMPLE
Hitler thought that people were stupider than him. So they had Jews in the same category. Fat, greedy, and lazy. He was basically categorizing the whole population when it was only few that where like that.
START AT AN EARLY AGE
He would start putting that nonsense in there heads at an early age. There are children's books and posters trying to scare kids into thinking that Jews ate the human form of the devil.

Jews taking over the world

Description of the Propaganda:

In the picture above it is an octopus that is supposed to resemble a Jewish person. The head of the octopus is a head with the face of a human, but has a octopus's body! His face is big, round,and has a big nose. There is a star of David in the background, showing this is in fact a Jewish person. It is a white background with the octopus on top of the world. If you look closely you can see that from the various arms there is black goo coming out from under it.


Message
The message of this drawing is that Jews are sucking the life out of the whole world. People are worried that the Jews wield this much power! This picture shows how the octopus symbolizes all the bad things in the world ( the Jewish people) and it is sucking out all the good.

ANALYZING PROPAGANDA

                                                           
                                     photo by: English Answer Man (Click Here to View Post)
              
             Description of Propaganda: 
                     In this poster, there is a lice, and a skull. The lice is representing the Jews. The skull is representing the Polish. They are saying that the "Lice" are causing typhus. 
            
            Message: 
                    The message is telling the world that Jews can ruin you life. People say that Jews are "poisonous mushrooms" and they can destroy a whole village. One other story talking about Jews is called "The Poisonous Mushroom". 
           
            Propaganda Technique #1: BIG LIE-
                   The lie about this picture is saying that they are ALL  lice. Jews are not lice. That is a lie because it is an opinion. It can't be proven and it is what one says. 
          
           Propaganda Technique #2: MAKING IT BIG or POPULAR-
                   This picture is being put out to the public which is making it popular. It is being displayed on anything from an article to a news broadcast. It is telling the world to fear Jews because they are nasty "lice". This is making it big or popular.
                  

Propaganda

Description
In this photo it shows a large octopus appaering to suck up the world. He has a large nose and the Star of David on him. It also looks like he is trying to take over the world by what is shown in the picture. He looks scary and frightning. It also looks like he is almost enjoying eating or sucking up Earth.

Message
The message of this photo shows that Jews are trying to take over the world. They want people to believe that Jews are taking over the world so they can stop Jews from doing this. They want people to believe this because they want to kill the Jews in order to stop things like this.

Propaganda technique #1
Big-They put a globe in the picture to show that 1 Jew can accomplish taking over the whole world. Also, that it is sucking up human life.

Propaganda technique #2
Not the truth- Jews aren't taking over the world. Not any Jews at the time were trying to take over the world. The Nazi's were just jelous that the Jews had better things than them. So, they made up these lies to get Jews killed so they can feel better. Overall, the Nazi's lied and as u can clearly see Jews have never taken over the world.






Description of Propaganda

             The picture above shows an octopus over the entire world. The octopus has ink coming out of it's tentacles as if it is infecting the world with poison. It has the Star Of David over it's head. The features are that it's fat, it has hair stems on both sids of its head. The entire background is white and the only thing that is colored is the octopus, which is colored blue.

Message

             The octopus is the only thing on the globe and has been spread throughout the globe. There is only one of them. The picutre states that a single Jew can mess up the entire world, kind of like a poisonous mushroom. The indivisual countries are being taken over by a single Jewish octopus.

Propaganda Technique #1: Repetition

             Hitler had 2 key features to identifying a Jew. The first one was a big nose, and this picture clearly shows the big nose. The second one is the Jews are fat. This picture has a fat octopus with a big nose. Not to mention, he has the Star Of David over his head.

Propaganda Technique #2: Make It Big

             Notice how the octopus is not only Germany, but the whole world. He is a single big, fat octopus with ink. The ink acting as the infestation of Jews. He is bigger than the globe itself, with all tentacles around it.
