Laws and Guns

I think that it would be a good thing if we had stricter laws on guns. I think that it is still too easy to buy a gun even though the Brady Bill was passed. I think that if you are a member of the military and don't have a bad background you should be able to buy a gun, but otherwise you should have tests and papers to fill out. I think that organized crime and gangs would decrease if there were not as many guns handed out with the modern day supervision. That is my opinion and I know that others have different opinions so please comment.

Criminal

WANTED: Billionaire bird.

This is a sign hanging on the door of every sheriff office in the United States. This parrot stole from banks all over America. Unfortunately his identity can't be shown but hopefully you will be able to identify him, and hopefully we will get a non pixilated picture soon. He is on his way to Africa. You are officially allowed to shoot him out of the air.

Just kidding this is a cool picture I made in Photoshop.

The Weekend

This weekend I hung out with friends, played video games, and did lots of homework. Overall the weekend was amusing but even though it was a three day weekend it seemed to go by so fast. Although it was arid some of the time I still wish I didn't have to go to school.

Everybody knows this past weekend was Valentines day. I personally think that Valentines day is an ace holiday altogether, even though it is great sometimes I think it is a decay of time and money.

Firework

Fireworks! I loved this project we did in Photoshop. It makes me think of the 4th of July. I must admit it is one of my favorite holidays.

PS3 Xbox 360 and Wii

I am going to compare the PlayStation 3, the X box 360, and the Wii, three of the most popular game systems in the world.











First I will start with the PS3. It is the most expensive game system in the world at $300 for a game system and a controller. Each game if it is popular or new is about $40 and each controller is $60. Although the PS3 is the most expensive game system but it also has the best graphics and it comes with free wi-fi. The PS3 also has access to the PlayStation store which has any game you want if you buy it and tons of awesome free downloads.




Pros:

• Best Graphics!





• Free Wi-Fi!





• Free access to the PlayStation store!

Cons:

• Game and accessories and very expensive!

The X box 360 is $200 and each controller is $60. Each game is usually $40 and wi-fi is about $150. Overall the X box is about a medium game system. The graphics are okay and it has most of the games out there available for it.

Pros:

• Cheaper System!
  

Cons:

• Not as amazing of graphics!




• Expensive Wi-Fi




• Expensive accessories

The Wii is an older game system but it still maneges to compete with the leaders. The system is $200, the controllers are $40 and the majority of games are $20. The graphics stink if the game is not specifically made foe the Wii.

Pros:

• Cheap!

Cons:

• Bad graphics!

In conclusion I would choose the PS3 for a game system. It manages to soar above all the others and has entered into a whole new era for graphics. Now you know the best game system you can buy.

Superhero Power?

If I could have any superpower it would be the ability to control water. The reason for this is because water is the most abundant substance on earth, water makes up three fourths of the world. Clouds are also mostly water, and at almost any given time there is a cloud in sight. I could also use both of these to fight ''bad guys'' by drowning them. Another crime fighting thing I could do is, hurl some water into space and let it instantly freeze then bring it back down to earth and smash the ''bad guys''. Now you know my favorite super power.
