Gun Control
I can't decided how I feel about this issue...I think there should be some middle ground. I don't believe there should be a complete ban on gun purchases, but there should be background checks and paper work making sure guns do not get into the wrong hands. It is important to be able to defend yourself, but you don't necessarily need guns. I just think the government should come up with a plan that allows people with "good intentions" to purchase guns and not criminals or felons.

Gay Marriage
On this topic, I am liberal. I believe that homosexual's should have every right that heterosexuals do. No one should be punished because of their sexuality, that is completely unfair and immoral. I think marriage should be the union of two people that love each other and want to spend the rest of their life together...not necessarily the union between a man and a woman.

Abortion
I am personally pro-choice when it comes to abortion. And just because I am pro-choice doesn't mean I necessarily would get an abortion, but I think women should have the choice. I think it's creepy that the goverment could have a say about what you put your body through. Being pregnant, even if you're going to give it up for adoption, is very hard on your body and completely life changing and I woman shouldn't be required to go through that if they don't want to. I think it is important for women to have the option especially in cases of rape. Getting raped is already tragic and horrible enough, the woman shouldn't have to carry her rapists baby. I do think abortion is sad, and its unfortunate that a human didn't get a chance to live, but like I said, I do think women should have control over their body.

Liberal vs. Conservative
Liberal's and conservative's, for the vast majority of issues, have opposing view points. Conservatives seem to have views that correspond to religious views, such as: pro-life, against gay marriage, etc. Liberals, on the other hand, have more of a modern view point since they are pro choice and for gay marriage. Conservatives are also for the war against terror whereas Liberals are more for peace. It is said that most wealthier people are conservative because conservatives believe in keeping the money you earn, even when you are wealthy, but liberals are said to be more for "unwealthy" people because they tax the wealthy and give money to the needy. Liberals are a little more radical, whereas conservatives are kind of "old school". |

Teens and Industries
"It's a shame that the people who are listening to you the most are only interested in you because they want you and your peers to buy their product."

The meaning of "Magic"
My favorite song by Colbie Caillat is called "Magic". I think I like this song because I am a hopeless romantic and its a song all about her being in love with a guy. She can't get him off her mind and is talking about a the little things about him that make her need him. She dreams about him, wants to wake up to him, and needs him to be there and just all around loves him. She thinks his touch is magical. The lyrics are pretty straightfoward. I'm a realitively calm and somewhat shy person which drew me to this slow, cute, relaxing song. Actually, part of the reason this was my favorite song was actually because of the cute lyrics that I was able to relate to at one point. It's a song that anyone in love can relate to. http://www.lyricsmania.com/lyrics/colbie_caillat_lyrics_10666/lyrics_33657/magic_lyrics_364165.html |
