  Scars

  

  By B-star7, North Platte, NE

  Most of mine, I have hidden. I do not whine, I am forbidden. Lines and patches, From head to toe. Made from scratches, Most scars show. But some scars, can't be seen. They are bars, made by the obscene. You look at him, He looks just fine, But something grim He must confine...

  By B-star7, North Platte, NE

  Global warming is the main concern these days, but believe it or not lots of people don't believe in global warming.

  By B-star7, North Platte, NE

  Obama hasn't been in office his full term yet. It's been three years, and nothing has gotten better. He's lied and made nothing but, worse. He telling the billionaire companies that we need jobs so make more jobs. But, then, he's saying, okay, you hired people and now, I'm ...

  Pros and Cons of Different Religions (Part One)

  

  By B-star7, North Platte, NE

  I do not go to church as many others do, to worship some unseen god. I do not believe there isn't a god but, I am uncertain there is. Believing in god(s) can be good for some people who rely on god(s) to "show them the way out of a bad time". But, you never see any kind of god. No ...

  To Be or Not To Be a Vegitarian?

  

  By B-star7, North Platte, NE

  I don't understand vegitarians when the say, "I don't eat meat because I want to save lives." or maybe, "If you eat meat you're killing an innocent animal." I understand they don't want to eat something that someone killed. I just don't get how they belie...

  Plants, Animals, or humans?

  

  By B-star7, North Platte, NE

  Which do we care about the most? Plants, animals, or ourselves? We've been destroying our home planet for over a century. We build factories. We build cars that use up our fossil fuels faster than the earth can naturally make it. This is sad. I think we should watch out for ourselves. Self pres...

  California Laws

  

  By B-star7, North Platte, NE

  I was wondering, why did California make weed legal? I don't think it should be legal for medical purposes or not. People can just say, "Oh, here I'm sick. Can I have some of your drugs?" People can get through the legal system. FACT. It's wrong to do drugs as bad as weed. O...
