Stargate Atlantis needs our help! Sign the petition!

I’m such a fan of Stargate Atlantis. I watch it religiously and I know all the scenes! It’s in my system and I just can’t imagine life without this show on TV. Have you heard? MGM has already announced that they are going to end the show after their 5th season. Why? It’s probably the best sci-fi show on TV to date! Why cancel a show that has a very solid audience that watches it religiously the same as I do?

Obviously, the producers know how popular Stargate Atlantis is and thought that it’s just too good for TV and should be made into a movie. Great! Who wouldn’t want to watch a movie version of their favorite sci-fi TV series? But why would they cancel the show just to pave the way for its movie series? There’s too much here and the purpose is not to benefit the fans but so they could fatten their pockets even more! Come on now! Why hurt us after we supported your show? It is just not fair!

I am so happy to see many fans who decided to start a petition. It’s a great idea! It’s time for us to save our favorite TV show. Let us save Atlantis! It’s our time to be a part of the show’s story. Now is our time to save Atlantis, Of course it’s not like we have to pack our bags and train to be one of these futuristic scientists but it’s time for us to unite and save the show! These petitions are calling for all the Stargate Atlantis fans and supporters to sign their names so our voices would be heard by SGA’s executive producers. It’s not fair! We have to show them that what they plan on doing is really not fair!

Friday nights would no longer be fun. I usually prepare myself after dinner and find a comfortable place in front of the TV in anticipation of this show. I look forward to Friday nights all the time! Without SGA, what’s there to look forward to? It’s sad… tragic! Looking forward for the next movie is like waiting for your birthday each year!

I’m just one of the many disappointed fans of SGA. These executive producers should reconsider. Should we boycott and show them our disappointment? But then we’d be missing more of their awesome shows. We should all support the circulating of the online petition asking for these executive producers to change their mind and start thinking about the 6th season. The 5th season of Stargate Atlantis is a lot better than the previous seasons and we are expecting for the 6th. It can’t just end here. It’s just too good to end.

SciFi will have nothing to boast about after their station won’t have Stargate Atlantis for their audience. Come on now, what’s left to watch in that channel after SGA?

Would it have been different if they have used a different channel to show Stargate Atlantis? SG1 was a great show and it was canceled prematurely as well. I was a die-hard fanatic of SG1 also and I was so disappointed when they announced that my favorite show on TV was about to say it’s goodbye. I was sad but I thank God for Stargate Atlantis. At least, SG1 had 10 seasons so I was able to enjoy watching it for years! Stargate Atlantis only had 5 episodes and it’s even better than SG1 but why only 5 episodes? Can the executive producers answer this question for us?

Why the sudden death for our favorite sci-fi shows? They can cancel all those other boring shows on Sci-Fi if they want to, but why cancel the most popular one? It doesn’t really make sense to me. I will miss the characters whom I already grown to love. What will happen to them after this? Will they be on the movie version of Stargate Atlantis? I hope so. But, still that’s just not right. They deserve to be on Air every Friday! I am not saying that they don’t deserve to be on the silver screen. Heck, I’d die to watch the movie version of SGA but I just can’t stand the fact that they are canceling the show.

I’m sure many would agree that there’s not much on TV right now that is worth watching. I don’t watch TV on most days except for the news and some sports shows but that’s just about it. No new shows interest me that much anymore except for Stargate Atlantis. I’m a sucker for sci-fi shows but I am very choosy as well. Sci-fi shows can be really boring when the storyline is boring. SGA has an awesome storyline that caught me right from the first time I watched it. I even have DVDs of the shows so I could watch them over and over again. I’m a die hard fan and I am here, asking all of you die hard SGA fans out there, to support the online petition. Please, please, let’s support our favorite show.

I’m done voicing out my opinion but I’m still not through with my disappointment and I will continue to fight for my favorite show. Its one great show that we just have to keep on air. Whether or not we’d be successful, at least we can say that we did our part in keeping it on air. If the executive producers won’t listen to our plight, I bet it’s time for us to start looking for other shows that may interest us and just wait for the movie series then. It’s unfair and disappointing but I will never say never. I will sign as many online petitions and start a petition asking my fellow fans to support our loved team of scientists led by Major John Sheppard.

You gave us a great show SCI-Fi, please don’t just take it away from us. It will break many hearts and will disappoint even more. Hope you’ll make the right decision and keep the show on air!

Okay so i need to take ACT this summer...

 

I have no idea to find out where it is.

 

HELP!!

I am EVIL.

The dark prince reincarnate.

This is the scream of an abusive drunk

playing the piano with a little girls face

crush, crush, blood spills

i am that sick crimson

when it dances on your blade

i can taste the hate

i breathe this hate

as you peal flesh from your face

crying out for someone to save you

i am the thought that casts you too deep down the rabbit whole

to an abyss, that, in truth

is less scary then living in my mind.

They called you strong

You called me weak

They said you're tough

You said I'm meek

But you wont cry

In ront of me

You show no pain

Or empathy

You put up walls

You push away

You wont say help

Or say please stay

You look at me

You say you're fine

But I can see

I'm not blind

Your smile is fake

And so is your laugh

You look through me

You look right past

You cant say now

I need you

If you think its wrong

When I do

So dont come near

Dont look right past

Dont smile at me

Or fake your laugh

They called you strong

I call you weak

They said your though

I say you're meek

'cause you wont cry

In front of me

You show no pain

No empathy...

Alright, here's a little poetry thing I was reading around and found. I'm not sure the purpose of it other than to just write, but I thought it would be interesting and might engage a few people. It would atleast give me more to respond to than just comments under my posts.

The first poster writes a haiku in form 5-7-5, and the responder writes a 7-7. This keep alternating in '5-7-5' - '7-7' - '5-7-5' until we stop. Roger that? Now I'll let the first person who posts a comment in here respond with one, whatever topic you want, and we, the audience will try to respond in a timely manner and keep the ball rolling. First post first served, so if, by some miracle, this thread ever sees more than 1 active person at a time trying to post, just check your post and if it accidentally has someone cut in front of it, just fix your post.

Try to keep responses on topic.. if there *is* a topic.

 Set. Go.

So, im leaving this quarter. It sucks, but whatever. Im starting at front range for second semester. I'm excited, but a little nervous. It sucks to leave here, this school kicks butt. So everybody should come see my band

I really enjoy making JELLO and you only need two ingredients.

Water and the JELLO Packet

Jello is the yummyiest stuff around, it is fun and easy to make. I used to make it all the time, I would make a huge bowl of it and eat it all in one sitting.

I decided to write aboot JELLO because I love it and I am the master at making it. I have all of my best cooking memories with JELLO. One time when I was working with some of my friends in a kitchen we found a bunch of unused JELLO packets (around 8) and asked the master chefs if we could make a giant bowl of JELLO. They said that would  be chill, so we did. So we mixed it all up and did the magic steps, then put it in the fridge and waited for it to become solid JELLO gold. The next day around lunch time we retrieved the bowl and ate it all with our by hands, yes, we ate JELLO by the handful. After we couldn't eat anymore we just started throwing it at innocent children.  -END

Would you be mad if I said I don't want to be your friend

If I told you you're mean and selfish

that your hard to be around

If I said you were a bully

that your cruel

would you be mad?

because you truely are

 

I wrote this because I kind of hard to. I like the poem though I thought it was stupid when I started it. It's amazing when what to thought changes when after you reread what you wrote later on.  I posted this because it the only poem I've writen in my notebook for advisory.

we are nothing

we breath, our hearts beat, but why?

does all this suffering truly have a point?

to defy a God who "loves" us with destruction

and heracy

we lose ourself in sins defined by a world who knows just as little as we do

who are we to decide what is "right"

or more often then not

what is "wrong"

"because you are not beautiful"

"because you are not rich"

"because you do not think exactly as i do"

are these all the reasons we are cast aside?

because we refuse to

or do not have the ability

to conform

but if you did

if you could close your eyes and when you opened them

you were just as the world would accept you as

would you fight it?

we battle the injustices of inequality

of judgements based on our size and physical appearance

but is the only reason we hold this grudge

because we do not fall into the standards

because we are not the people the world wishes to

"love"

we seem so outraged because we are looked down upon

when truly

arent we all just jealouse?

or maybe not jealouse

but afraid

that the world is right

and we arent good enough

I interviewed my friend jucie jesus. I asked him a few qustions that i had him mix it up a bit.

I interviewed missy about her past experinces with cops and to her they seem to be every where. She even told me about her latest experince which involved a 9 point ticket.

I interviewed Latanya about her niece and how she affects her everyday life and future. I know i'm not the only one that thinks little kids are a handful.

                                               The History of Marijuana          

By: TRINA

  

Who would have thought that something that grows naturally in the ground would one day be illegal? I bet George and Martha Washington didn’t. For those of you who don’t know what marijuana is, it is dried leaves and female flower parts of a hemp plant. There are around 400 different chemicals in the plant. Out of the 400 chemicals THC, a compound, C₂₁H₃₀O₂, affects the brain the most.

Marijuana was legal for years and years. Why all of a sudden did it become illegal?  It dates back all the way to 7000 to 8000 B.C when the first woven fabric was made, believed to be from hemp. Even more astonishing, in 1619, Jamestown Colony, Virginia passed a law requiring all farmers to grow hemp. Our first president George Washington grew hemp as his primary crop.

 In 1096, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) formed, which was “the first occasion that drugs had any government oversight.” After the FDA formed, a lot of things started changing, which led to the Marijuana Tax Act of 1937, making marijuana prescriptions illegal in the United States. The bill passed on the idea that marijuana caused “murder, insanity, and death.” The idea was explained to the U.S. Congress by Harry Anslinger. It was then introduced to the Federal Bureau of Narcotics. Having marijuana in your possession or using it was not entirely wrong at that point. The act made it so that anyone who dealt commercially in marijuana would have a tax to pay around one dollar. Then the violators of the procedure would be punished with 2000 dollars in fines and/or a sentence in prison up to five years. They made this net effect so people would not take the chance in selling marijuana.

The 1970’s Comprehensive Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act, states that all pharmaceutical industry must keep certain drugs under strict record keeping and also have physical security making sure they stay where they intended to. This act turned marijuana into a schedule 1 drug. There are five schedules for drug classifications. Schedule 1 was made for the most harmful and dangerous drugs that have no recognized medical use.

The Institute of Medicine had a report in 1999 that stated, “The accumulated data indicate a potential therapeutic value for cannabiniod drugs, particularly for symptoms such as pain relief, control of nausea and vomiting, and appetite stimulation. The Institute of Medicine also asked itself a very important question. Would the use of medical marijuana increase the use in the general public? They responded with, “At this point there is no convicting data to support this concern.” Another good point that there research brought up is that, “Marijuana is not completely benign substance. It is a powerful drug with a variety of effects. However, except for the harms associated with smoking, the adverse effects of marijuana use are within a range of effects tolerated for other medications.”

Sitting here writing this paper I wondered if people were aware of all these things. So I decided to interview some people with some general questions. Most of the answers I got were high-quality. In some of the questions people had no idea what I was even talking about. I asked five questions and this is the data I received.

 

1)      What is marijuana?

 

“It’s an herb and a mood enhancer.”

“It is a plant that is illegal; people smoke it to get high for fun.”

 

2)      When did it become popular?

 

“The hippie era.”

“I think it really became in the 60’s; people thought it would take you to a higher consciousness.”

 

3)      When did it become illegal?

 

“1937.”

“I’m not sure exactly when.”

 

4)      Why did it become illegal?

 

“I think the main reason was because it was against some religious views.”

“Probably because people were using it for extreme recreational purposes and the government didn’t like that”

 

5)      What schedule is it classified on? (What does that mean?)

 

“Schedule 5 because it’s one of the few illegal substances that is completely natural.”

“Schedule 5 because it’s not that dangerous.”

 

           With all the information I found out I think it’s ridiculous that it’s a schedule 1 drug and that people assume its so terrible. There is not a single case of anyone dying from an overdose. With all of the drugs out there I’m almost 100% sure that there have been at least one or more cases of someone overdosing on any other drug. It is less dangerous to consume too much marijuana than it is to consume too much aspirin. It only takes 50 doses or aspirin to kill you, which doesn’t seem to compare to the 40,000 doses of marijuana to be lethal. Aspirin is a schedule 3 drug which is less dangerous and has accepted medical purposes. Does anyone see a problem here?

I interviewed Zach the man that loves to play hockey. I asked him questions about what he likes about hockey and why he likes it. Also what might he do with his talent with his skills in hockey. He said, he might go to college and play, I found that very cool. So all in all when you have a talent for some thing never let it go to wast. that is to main point of this interveiw.

                                    Stereotypes For Women  

 

Stereotypes for the lady population have been around for hundreds of years. The larger known stereotype women are seen as are housewives. Remember as a young boy or girl playing house?  In this pretend game that most people participated in it was always the “daddy” coming home from work, to the “mommy” who was cooking and cleaning. Young girls playing this game didn’t know at the time that the game they were playing was actually demoralizing to their gender.  There are tons of stereo types for women. Like that their inferior to men, they are emotional all the time, their weaker than men, they are to stay home take care of the house and children and be good. This treatment of women occurs in all cultures.

 

            The Chinese had the housewife stereotype embedded in women’s. Long ago, a young Chinese girls about 6 or 7 years of age would have their feet binded. The arch of their foot was broken and their toes bent under and bound.  It was considered “beautiful” and ensured that they would have “little golden lilies” for the rest of their life. This was very painful for them and affected them for the rest of their lives. They could only hobble, not being able to walk or run properly. This practice allowed men to feel even more superior because the women couldn’t do anything due to not being able to walk. In the other cultures girls were being brainwashed by stereotypes since they were born. Fairytales, something all young girls loved and remember watching in their younger days. In most of these fairytales and stories the women are perceived as helpless housewives. For example, the story of Cinderella shows that if you are good, clean, cook and are beautiful you will be desired by all men. The step sisters she cooks and cleans for are wealthy women who don’t have to lift a finger when it came to cooking and cleaning, yet they are automatically perceived as rude, ugly and obnoxious.  Cinderella may have been sweet and good, but the truth was she was weak, and didn’t have a mind of her own.

 

So the question I leave to men and women of all ages are what kind of stereotypes do they see women as and if they believe any of them? To answer some these questions I interviewed 5 women and 5 men. The five women, Bird (17) Caitie (21) Jamie (43) Carol (70) and Ashlee (21) all had the same answers along the same lines. The main stereotype they hear used against women were that women are only meant to be housewives. Stay at home moms cooking and cleaning for their husbands before they come home from their big time careers. Carol, age 70 was a young woman back when it the only goal for a woman was to be married with lots of children.  Most had no interest or goals in having a career. The younger women have heard the stereotype of being a slut if you have slept with two or more partners. While guys who do this are considered pimps, and are “oh so cool”. All of these women have been victims of these stereotypes at one point or another. After interviewing these five women, I decided to interview five men. When I asked them what kind of stereotypes they have heard used against women all them answered that “women are suppose to be home with the children.”  Augie, age 15 stated that he “thinks it’s awesome that women are out there doing jobs that use to be only meant for a man”. He also stated that he doesn’t believe any of these ridiculous stereotypes that are pointed towards women.  Austin, age 16 also doest believe any of these stereotypes. He stated that it’s split down the middle between women and men. “There are things women can do that men can’t and there are things men can do that women cant.”  Wes, age 29 stated that at one point in time he probably used a stereotype, but can’t remember what it was about. However, he doesn’t believe there are any stereotypes that have truth to them and regrets the times he ever used one. Rubin and Wes both believe that women are not inferior to men just “different”.

 

The interviewed women answered the questions I used during the interview with more of an angry response. The men answered them with an unsure attitude and really had to think about the questions. That to me shows improvement in our society about stereotyping women. If these questions were asked back in the day the men would have had quick answers to these questions that would have been stereotypical. Let’s hope that it keeps improving and that women don’t ever feel like their inferior to men.  

This is me interviewing my dad about inflation[You do not have permission to access this file]

When you think you go into a thing you  might expect something.  Things can go the other way.  That's life.

I interviewed Jesse about how we first got together.  Like, first impressions about our relationship.

I interviewed Tomi. This is just a typical interview on what our perspective was on how kids and or adults may feel about their parents getting divorced. It was just two people telling how they feel and what went on when we were going through it with  our parents. Many kids go through it  and most of them it hurts badly, so talking about it may  help kids  realize that they aint the only ones going through it.

Thanks to my three teachers for pushing me. 

 

My Mom Michelle and I never got along when I was younger. Now after 2 years of group homes, foster homes and living with my dad we are finaly working on a relationship. I have no idea where to start with this so i went to a few people at my schoool. First i interviwed Rob (a student my age) on his relationship with his mom. I also interviwed a staff member Bonita about her parenting with her kids. This helped me alot with my start with me and my moms new relationship. So maby one of you out there has a hard time with your parents or your kids and maybe this will help you too.
