Intro Take 2: Hello, everyone.My name is Sush. My username is slimey because of my older sister, Kira. A very long time ago, she made the username "stake." I am a vegetarian, so I thought it would be ironic if I had a meat username. My neighbor's sister was at the computer. I kindly asked her to write salami, but she by accidentally wrote slimey. My page is called Sushimi because it is one of my many nicknames. They are Salsa, Sushi, Sush, Sushimi, and Fluffy. I am 12 and [|Manx], not [|Hungarian].

Book Review Okay, so I am reviewing the book Maximum Ride, by James Patterson. Note: I am not done with it yet. It is sitting right next to me, beckoning me into its pages. Yeah, once books begin to act human, you know somethings wrong with you. But, who cares, its a great book! Its suspensful, funny, and strange. Patterson went all for it! Beneath its blue cover is a thrilling story about a girl who is not entirely human trying to survive. Get what I mean by strange? Yeah, but then these "erasers" steal her "sister," and so they all go a flyin' to Cali to save her. Its sooo good. Finished! 1st, 2nd, and 3rd! In 2 days! 1,200 pages! Yay! They are even better than I expected. Now its turning all Golden Compass meets Twilight. its also turning kind of strange...not like it wasn't strange already. 



Umm...hello. Today's topic is (drumroll): VEGETARIANISM!, or the whole animals having their heads cut off for human consumption and enjoyment thing. I am mainly talking about chickens. I am doing this because, well, its a bad argument, but I'll tell you. Chicken is one of the main meats and they lay eggs. Pathetic, I know.  WARNING!- GRAPHIC CONTENT! Mrs. McMahon,you might hate the pictures I put on, but I have a good reason. When you see my page after I add them, you might want me to soften it up by deleting the pictures. But this topic is not a soft topic! This is what is really happening, so I'll show it. media type="custom" key="772137"

Now back to my topic!

Factory farms. The word alone makes no sense. A farm with lush green pastures, free roaming chickens, and black and white cows aren't //factories//. Well, some farms are. Farms with hundreds of chickens jammed in sheds, farms where chicks are ground alive, farms where a chicken never sees the light of day. Sound like fun? Chickens, which are as smart as cats or dogs, have a bad life from the start. Chicks are hatched without ever seeing their mom. If they are male, they are suffocated, or squished. If they are female, they are either sent to lay eggs, or sent to be a meat chicken. Egg laying chickens are put in crates. These crates are stacked on top of one another. To prevent bad behavior, the front portion of their beaks are burned off. To make it worse, its raining fecies, which are coming from the above cages. After they can't lay a good number of eggs, they are sent off to be made into low grade meat. Now to the meat chickens. These chickens are put into "sheds." In these sheds, the cramped quarters and food can cause health disorders. Diseases spread easily. The food is filled with medications that cause mass growth in chickens. Their organs and legs to not accept this growth, so they have problems such as heart attacks, organ failure, and leg issues. The chicken's legs are literally giving out under their own weight! Remember, 9 billion chickens go through this every year. After all of that torture, they have more torture: slaughter. They are hung upside down by their legs, defenseless. Their throats are slit while they are still alive, and then their lifeless bodies are dumped into a vat of scalding hot water. Theres one issue: not all of the bodies are lifeless. Because the slitter is mechanized, some chickens are missed. They meet their demise in a vat of water. Another issue: chickens are not covered by animal rights laws. They will have this happen to them until something is done about it! And can you imagine giving 70% of our grain to starving Africans? Wouldn't that be amazing? Well, instead, we're giving 70% of our grain to animals that we're going to eat.

samraf: informative but... I think that it is a little too graphic, most people don't want to read about those things and they might get sick leotsakosS: how else will they be killed, they have to be live b4 they die... media type="custom" key="865269" The storm of the century as it is called occured from March 12-March 15 in 1993. It was a massive cyclonic storm that stretched from north Florida to Canada. When weather forecasters first saw it they thought that it was an error. Well, it wasn't. It formed because a low pressure air mass and a high pressure air mass collided and the jetstream was unusually steep. In the south, there were hurricane force winds and 11 tornadoes which killed 7 people. In some parts of Florida there were two inches of snow. In the north there was freezing temperature and massive snowfall. Thirty-five foot snow drifts and 4 feet of snowfall were recorded. Afterwards, towns were left with an unexpected clean-up job. The cost was between 3 and 6 billion dollars. 270 people were left dead. There have been far worse storms than this since then, though this one is still rememdered as the "Storm of the Century."

__If I were president__... 1.cutting back on officials 2.redirecting funds to research ways to save earth
 * I would make stricter animal rights laws
 * give financial aid no matter what
 * make free college tuition programs
 * no highschool diploma needed jobs
 * less government spending by:
 * custom taxing so someone who needs the money doesn't get it taken away.
 * replace myself with an assembly to bridge the gap between the rich and the poor.
 * give the less fortunate opportunities to work in the government
