CC#4 Japan views America

CNN news report February 18th, Bruce stokes explains how "Japan views America" seeing the world. Prime minister Shinzo Abe travels to Washington this week to meet with Barack Obama, Both leaders are riding a wave of relative popularity at home. Strengthening their hands in dealing with mutual international challenges. Unlike Japan bashing days of the 1980s when fear and resentment poisoned popular opinion on specific issues in both countries is likely to shape with Abe and Obama can and cannot accomplish.

Meanwhile about six in ten Americans today trust Japan, according to a Pew Research poll the only nation they trust more is the United Kingdom, which is trusted by three quarters of Americans. Japanese returns the goodwill 72 percent have a favorable view of the United States one of the top favorable ratings among 21 ratings. Administrations would like to see Japan join the Trans-Pacific Partnership.

To me Japan can be lethal but at this point I feel they can strike at any moment, But knowing we will retaliate if we have no done to late, there should be nothing to really fear on how they view us viewing everyone else starting pointless wars.

Topic Of Choice

The topic i have chosen to do is over "Why do Video Games have such bad repetition? " Well for some background information when buying a game. Who ever is selling you the game and it has a "M" at the bottom left of the case it means Mature and on top of the box it says +17. They have to explain about what all is involved in the game. If you clicked on the hyper linked 17 it shows the case of Mortal Kombat and at the bottom left is says "Rated M, 17+."
 
Now parents disapprove of video games because it shows there kids violence if they let them play a specific game, even after they are informed it contains violence. I'm strictly sticking to Mortal Kombat during this because it has been the most focused game the government has tried taking off the shelves. It contain Blood, Gore, Cussing, and half naked people it has also been one the most known games due to how long it has been around. When parent catch their kids cussing and pretend fighting like they are ripping someones heart out they have the most messed up look on their face asking themselves why did I left my kid play that game.

Video games are far from a bad influence on kids, the parent that make a huge deal about kids play being to violent shouldn't have much to care for when they get older. If a child is introduced to Mortal Kombat at a early age they might enjoy the entertainment it brings, coming from my point of view because I was one of the kids that grew up with the choice to play this type of game. I have had no problem getting over pretend play ripping someones hear out.

There is no reason to stop kids from playing violent video games unless you are a parent that is completely against it then that is your choice to decide what they play, or are introduced to. Having violent video games don't make kids violent its the people who take the "kids play" to serious.

CC#4 Wrestling might be cut!

CNN post in a recent article about "Wrestling may be cut from the Olympics" due to losing its grip. "The  Executive Board of the International Olympic Committee announced Tuesday that it has recommended dropping the sport from the Summer Games beginning in 2020." Why are they bringing this up? Because Wresting has now fallen into the shortlist of sports with many other sports. 
    The sports being chosen for 2020 Olympics will be the deciding point if Wrestling will stay, the votes will come in the IOC general session in Argentina in September. Whichever sport is chosen will join the 25 sports the IOC listed Tuesday as core sports for 2020. Wrestling is still included in 2016 Olympics in Roi de Janeiro. Wrestling has been around the Olympics since 1896 only missing the 1900 games in Paris.
     I would prefer the Olympics not to discontinue Wrestling, I enjoyed watching people go at it for Five minutes and still being able to hold each other on the ground pushing one another out of the circle like sumo wrestlers. If it does get canceled there is nothing we can really do about it because apparently its not up to the people.

Book Log #1

American Sniper, a story told for one of the most known snipers in the Army. Chris Kyle the sniper that rose above all ranks in the system to distinguished himself as the best. This book setting is set during training, or boot camp for snipers, Kyle explained what it was like to have gone through all of the work and what it took to get to be where he is at. Kyle had spent multiple years studying during and before the camp, needing to know how to determine where to aim if winds are at such and such speeds. Every member has a spotter who basically does all that for them, but he doesn't do it for them, they are given coordinates to hit the target they are aiming for. American Sniper explains what it is also like to be on the front lines where you have many lives counting on you to get your role done and not mess up. Being on the front lines from Kyle's view was worse then what he had predicted it to be, not only was his first mission he was sent on nerve racking due to high priorities he needed to accomplished he has never shot and killed as many Iraq soldiers as he thought he would have needed to. But from what all Kyle had achieved he was sent on multiple missions after the first. Kyle had eventually obtained multiple badges for his hard work he had done. In the long run this book is very interesting to me, I enjoy the Army, anything about guns basically, would I recommend this book? Yes, if you enjoy intense action and some background knowledge on what it takes to do what he does this book will most likely suit your needs.

CC3# Job Avoid job-killing budget cuts

In a recent article by Barbara Boxer "How to avoid job-killing budget cuts" talking about "self-inflicted wounds to our economy." Commons sense ways that you can reduce our deficit and avert the squesters, if this happens it can atleast domesticate programs bringing $1.2 trillion cuts over a 10 year spand. "We should begin by applying the nearly $700 billion in savings from ending the war in Iraq and Afghanistan toward reducing the deficit and avoiding these automatic cuts.

If everyone keeps participating in these self-inflicting wounds on the economy, "all of the cuts would stack on top of the $1.5 trillion in spending cuts that we already approved since President Barack Obama took office." The house of Republicans have said their alternative to avoiding the squester, know as "Plan C" this plan would spare the Pentagon any pain, but slash investments into the middle class, seniors, children and the poor.


The top priority should be strengthening the economy not hurting it so much that no matter what the government does, it doesn't effect the middle class, seniors, and poor. All of economic strengths should produce more jobs opportunities for people so that no one will have to deal with low paying checks, and if they don't take a job offer or just sit in the street begging for money, they are probably to lazy to take care of themself. "Balanced approach of new revenues."

My approach or thought on this is... If this problem goes any farther down then what it is, I probably will not have a job to work at at the age of 30, leaving me with no income, no income means that I cannot buy anything, go places, or eat when ever I want to. I do not want to grow up not having a job or dream that gives money to do anything I would enjoy going places and living another day.
