Our War for Justice
Posted by Doan Benjamin in Appino, Grade 8, Middle School, Reading, Writing on 19th, Monday, March 2012

Thousands of lives destroyed. All because of one man who wants power. The world will only have peace once the Power of Love surpasses the Love of Power. Only then, will the crimes be stopped, and children everywhere will have a taste of freedom. Smiles on every street. Not dead bodies.
To all of you out there, me watching this video also shows how corrupt and selfish many governments are, and how oblivious many of us are to those in trouble. The US government actually didn’t want to be involved, because the situation didn’t threaten their money and resources. Didn’t threaten their money. Didn’t threaten their money. What the? This menace captures over 30’000 children, thirty thousand. Yet the Americans still complain about 9/11, which deserves a lick of attention compared to this. They didn’t care enough about civilians so they drop 2 nuclear bombs on Japan. Not a second glance. 9/11, as terrible as it is, is nothing compared to Kony. Yet they say “it doesn’t threaten our resources. The lives of thousands of children, thrown away and America complains about how it doesn’t threaten their treasury, and then they make pizza a vegetable. After a uprising, they finally sent some troops but what they said cannot be undone. They are the ‘World Police’ right? Or is that just what they want to call themselves.
The pictures in the video, show us how easy our lives are here, but how much the African children have to do, just to live. They are kidnapped, and forced to kill people. There aren’t just a few of them, its 30’000 of them. 30 000 innocent human beings, forced to kill. All to keep this one devil in power. Joseph Kony. He isn’t raising this army for good, he is making his army to raise hell. That is the American perspective. Connecting to the paragraph above, the Americans only seem to like being involved when it comes to resources, what ever country has a tonne of resources, they conquer it.
All people are people, no matter where they are from, or what they believe in. There is no dominant race. These African children don’t deserve such a harsh life, of slaughtering.
Then, there is the power of technology that brought this scenario before me, urging me to do something. More precisely, it was the power of media. Without it, this treacherous human would have never had my attention. And although this video is only 30 minutes long, it makes many people want to be social activists, whom would have never given a lick of attention to this. I know, because I would have never cared about this, without looking at this video. In fact, when the video was just starting up, I though it was only going to be a waste of time.
I have also a peculiar thought, why though, would they choose April 21st, to stage quite a bit of their propaganda? For one, it is the Queen’s birthday (That also means my birthday), and that may be why they have chosen that particular date to start their revolution is something I have to look through. All in all however, it comes down to what people’s opinions are. So far so good. I hope terror in this world can end, not because of the governments, but because of us, the people.
PS. When I say the ‘Americans’ I mean the American government
The iMania Time of the Year
Posted by Doan Benjamin in Uncategorized on 7th, Wednesday, March 2012
Another apple product? Ahhhhh.
Its that time of the year. The iPad 3 (most likely) is coming out on the 8th. It seems that as soon as you buy your apple product, its already outdated. 3-4 months ago we had the iOS 5 that came out. Apple will not slow down their rapid churning out of products. After all, that wont be good for business. I think that is excellent however, and that apple works extremely hard for this rapid innovation. I love it though because you don’t have to wait for a EXTREMELY LONG TIME for new features.
To the product. Possibly twice the resolution of the iPad 2. That is whoa. That would also mean incredibly high graphics. However, the game producer will have to quadruple the pixels that the game uses. I would also like to point out however, that games like God of War, could look really good on the iPad 3. That is of course, if the iPad 3 is going to be released. It could end up being a Apple TV set. I would prefer the iPad 3 though.
”A cheaper iPad
Some observers say Apple may try to challenge less-expensive tablets on the market. At $199, the Kindle Fire is $300 cheaper than the least-expensive iPad.” Cheaper would be good too. Apple products have overkill prices. Anyways, whatever this product is, I want to see it. I do wonder if they are not going to launch another iPad, but an entirely different product. Like the iMac, iPod, and iPhone, all together on one. Like I said, whatever this new product is, I want to see it.
