THe God Delusion

The book that I read this over these past weeks is the God Delusion. The book is about the arguments for god and how they can be disproven. The book was less about the social agruments of religon. The book focus on the biological and the evolution of religon and how it has to be man made. The book talked about how religon must have been a by product of somting completly different. For ecample one theory that he offers about religon is that it is a by product of kindness. The book goes into many theorys and also talks about how the earth was created and how it is logical to belive in the scintific theory then in the religouish theory. The book is really good and should be a must a read for all athesits.

Al-Qaida Claims to be behind Bombing in Demark Embassy In Pakistan

In a recent bombing in Pakistan the target was a Denmark Embassy. Al-Qaida took responsibility for the attack and claimed it was for the post of the Cartoons. In the attack six people were killed but they claimed that if Denmark does not apologize their will be more attacks that follow. I think its absurd that they will bomb a embassy over a bunch of cartoons and I think that Denmark should not apologize at all and stand-up for an Western ideology which is free-speech. I think that Europe should stand up for free speech and not give in to their threats. I think that Al-Qaida and its followers should just get over and realize that their religion isnt an absoultism but I do realize that last statement is unresonable request.

Punk Rock

From the basements of houses to run down factories. A new style of music was born it was called Hardcore Punk. The music came form the British punk band called the Sex Pistols. The only difference was that the American style was more extreme and that's were it got its name Hardcore punk. The style of music was very distinct thier idea was to trim the fat from the song and only have a few chords and a simple beat and the lyrics were foucsed around society during that time. For example many bands were about having a hatred towards Regan and being hated by society. From the eighties spawned a new genration of punks in the Ninties which was less about the poltics and more about drinking.

My Architect Reflection

My Architect was a confusing movie to follow in a classroom environment. I didn’t really like any of the characters including the main character. For instance I don’t really see the point in this movie at all. It’s not my father and even if it was my father I wouldn’t feel the need to make movie about his life. For a 110 minute long movie it was boring and long and the interviews were not very interesting. I will admit some of the buildings he designed were interesting. I thought that it was good for the him to find about his father and see his father’s designs. I felt that the movie was not necessary for viewers I mean I could careless about his personal life. I will admit it was funny how his father tragically died. I mean having a heart attack in a public bathroom at Penn State. I mean how often that does that happen. I was a too big fan of the movie but am sure their people who got a bigger message form the movie. We didn't finish the movie but form what I did see I could tell its one of those movies that in the end he learns to forgive his father about leaving him and his mother all alone for so many years. I don’t know how to fill a five hundred words but all I will say is that I don’t find this to be a great movie topic.

Guns, Germs, and Steel Book Report

The book I read is Guns, Germs, and Steel by Jared Diamond. The book was about how some civilization's were able to succeeded and why others are still using rocks and sticks. In the book is main augment for his thesis was comparing the islands of New Guinea and how they have not moved forward. He looked at how European had the means to expand so therefore gained huge advantages over other people. For example since they were able to tame the horse they did not need as many hunters and so people were able to farm and tame other animals like the pig. In doing so they were able to gain immunity form virus that can spread form animal to human. Unlike the people of New Guinea who lived in a jungle environment and aren't able to farm as much so they depend on hunting and don't have spare time like the Europeans did to invent or tame animals. Trough out the book he list examples like what would happen if the people of Africa tamed the wild zebra. The book was an enjoyable read and I recommend it to anyone who has taken an interest in the subject.

Chavez Crazy Again

Chavez the president of Venezuela said in a statement earlier that the U.S was spying on the government in a while on a anti-drug mission. Chavez claims that the U.S was spying on the government and testing the reaction that Venezuela would give. This event has worsened the tensions between U.S and Venezuela. He claims that the U.S is just trying to find reasons to put Venezuela on the U.S terror list. In my personal opinion I find this to be an attempt for Chavez to try and win back his people. Venezuela isnt very happy with Chavez and it seems like an desperate plea.
