Have you ever walked into your family room and your dad is watching the football on t.v all day?
Football is one of the most common sports played. But it is also one of the stupidest sports. In this essay I will explain the reasons why football is or isn't stupid.
In football you get tackled. Some people can get seriously injured. People can get concussions. And you can break any bone in your body. There is no point in playing football. All you do is run and try to get the ball. Basketball and other sports have good points to them. And to the game.
Football creates fights and it could create your wost enemy. You could be best friends with one person then the next thing you know that person is your worst enemy. There is more hate in the world because of football! We need world peace!
Some people love football. You can meet new friends who are on you team. Some people think football is fun. You run to catch the ball and when you get a touchdown you feel happy. And proud of yourself.
If you get hurt, you can recover. Some people break bones and get concussions but they eventually recover from it.
Football can be very fun, but it's a stupid sport. Usually the most fun sports are kind of stupid. I personally think football is stupid. I hope you chose what you think- football is stupid or it isn't stupid.

Are You Ready For Some Football!?
What is your favorite sport? Mine is football. If you like golf, I'm going to tell you why football is better than golf.
You should choose football over golf. In golf the scores are confusing. If you get a hole in one you lose a point.
Even though you get hurt in football you have fun doing it. Golf is frustratingly hard. You have to hit the ball at the right power and at the right angle. In conlusion football is better than golf because it is not as hard as golf but it is not easy either.

Twilight vs. Harry Potter: what one?
Have you ever not been able to find the right book? Then read Twilight or Harry but what one? There is a very big competition between the two books: Twilight and Harry Potter. They are both very famous and are movies. Both have an amazing amount of fans. Also both of the authors are great writers. This essay will look at both sides and see what one is better.
Twilight is a great saga. In it, there is 4 books. As they get they get even better then the one before. Twilight is about a human falling love with a vampire. It seems like it could be real- accept Theres vampires and werewolves.
Harry Potter is a good series too. With 7 books in it. Its like they pull you into the the school of Hogwarts. The books are about Harry, his friends and his near death experiences at wizard school. They are fun to read because in every book he barely escapes death.
Even though they both are great books I personally love the the Twilight saga. Its interesting to read. It pulls you in and keeps you in. Twilight is a great book to read.

goodbye:yeah right
Imagine the ground cracking and lava coming out, “yeah right” that is just crazy do you think the world will end in 2012? Some people do?
One I don’t think so because they have said it before in 2000. I also took a survey and most people think it won’t. Only three out of twenty people think it will. They also have no proof. The proof they use is crazy like when the planets will align and we will burn.
A couple reasons it could happen is they say it happens every 64,000 years. The last time it happened all the dinosaurs perished. Also the planets will align and the earth will burn because it will be too close to the sun. Last almost every religion says it will like on the Mayans calendar.
Well since some people believe in 2012 but I don’t.

Is football a danger to the players?
Imagine you're at a football game ,you have your hot dog with relish and your nachos with extra cheese and your favorite player gets hurt, that is a reason why football is dangerous. If that does not convince you, there are some more reasons. You are always getting hit. People get hurt all the time. Lastly you get brain damage from the smell of the locker room.
Some people think that football is not dangerous. They say that they're safe with all the pads. That they don't get hit often. If they get hurt they heal fast. I say football is dangerous but the decision is yours.

Real or fake?
The twinkly lights that shine on it, the ornaments hanging from
it's branches, and all the presents under it.
Every year many people decorate a Christmas tree, they either go get it out of storage, or they go to the tree lot and buy their Christmas tree.
Some people have to decide what kind of Christmas tree they want, artificial or real?
Every year people spend hundreds of dollars to buy Christmas trees and some buy artificial trees
and some buy real trees, so which is the better one?
I prefer artificial trees because they last longer for about 6 years, most people prefer It because Its so easy to put away and assemble, its not messy, and trees aren't being cut down.
But Its made from a non-renewable resource (petroleum), and the branches also bend so when you get it out of storage so you might need to do a lot of touch ups.
Live Christmas trees have something that an artificial tree doesn't.... A scent!
Live Christmas trees are more traditional and they come in more unique shapes and sizes.
But Live Christmas trees shed needles, the have the scent of pine that might be unappealing to others, and it can catch on fire.
I think that the artificial Christmas tree is better because it last longer and its not a really hazard.
So whatever tree you pick for Christmas decorate it with the whole family!
Happy Holidays!

Why Soccer is fun
Do you like Soccer? Because i do. In this story i will tell you why soccer is good. And why some people might think it is bad.
A reason why i think soccer is fun is because there is so many teams. Like professional soccer or college soccer.like my favorite professional team is Italy.
Another reason why i think soccer is good is because you run a lot so you get a lot of exercise and you only use your feet unless you are in a throw in or if you are a golly.
A reason why i think it is so unique is because you only get to use your feet unless you are golly or in a throw in.
A reason why i think it is fun is you get to kick the ball really far.
A reason why somebody might think soccer is not fun is you have to run a lot. Or you can not use your hands. And sometimes people kick the ball and it hits you in the face.
I hope you understand why soccer is so fun.

A Game of Monopoly or a Day at the Beach
Would you rather be at the beach getting a tan while you are on vacation or be at home playing a game of Monopoly with your family? Which do you think is better? Family time or vacation time.
Family time is better then vacation time because you can learn more about your family by asking questions about each other. It can get you away from work stresses, etc. Seeing your family might melt your worries and bring laughter. Not as many fights will occur, causing the family to make a decision that they will enjoy and love.
Family time is not better then vacation time because you can experience new things. Like your first plane ride. It can also get you away from family and/or work stresses so you can take the time to sit down and relax. Last, you can see new exotic things you've never seen or heard of.
I think that family time is better then vacation time because you can have more laughs. Feel like somebody actually cares about you. Plus you might see things from a different point of view.
So what's your answer?

Circles or Squares: Which One is Better?
It doesn't seem important, and it probably isn't, but this essay will examine if circles or squares are better. So before you read this essay I have one simple question to ask you. Are circles or squares better?
Some reasons circles are better than squares are first circles are more fun and are normally popular symbols. On bags and t-shirts you normally see designs, patterns, or symbols where the base shape is a circle. Second squares have 90 degree angles, are pointy, and fit less people. If you have a round table you can fit more people because there are no corners. Third wheels are circular which lets the car drive smoother and better. It would be very, very bumpy to drive a car with square or cube wheels. Those are my reasons that circles are better than squares.
Some reasons squares are better than circles are one, you won't fall off a cube. If you were to sit on a sphere ou would have a better chance of falling off unlike a cube. Two, you normally pack your stuff in a cardboard box if you are moving. I don't think you would normally pack you stuff in a cardboard circle or cardboard sphere. Three, robots are made from cubes. It would be really weird to see a robot made from spheres.
Based on the reasons I have givin, my final opinon is circles are better than squares. I hope you agree with me. I also hope you enjoyed my essay.

Lake Vs. Ocean
I could feel the wind blowing against my face. I was out on a boat gliding through the water. This is what it is like when you are out in a boat at Lake Tahoe. Lake Tahoe is a great summer vacation place. Clearwater FL. is also a great place. Both of these places are awesome! I think Lake Tahoe is better, but in this essay you will find out what place you like.
First, lets listen to the Lake Tahoe side. One of the best reasons is that you get to go horse back riding. You get to go riding up one of the most prettiest mountains there. Wait!!! Now if you didn't like the sound of the horse thing well wait to you hear the next reason! The next reason would be a mini cruise ship. On the mini cruise ship you can ride around on Lake Tahoe. The wind feels great on your face as the ship sails. On the ship you can jump off into he water and take a dip. Finally, outside it is the perfect temperature to walk to a bunch of different shops. Or you can even walk out on the beach.
Now, the other side to the essay is Clearwater FL. The first reason would by you can swim in the ocean. The ocean is not cold but not to warm. The waves go up to a perfect height for you to bobble in the water. Another reason would be there are Putt-Putt golf places everywhere. It is fun in the evening to play and just hit the golf ball into a hole. Finally, the sand is as soft as a blanket. When I was there I laid on the sand instead of a towel. It is the softest and whitest sand in U.S.
Now don't both of those places sound amazing! I hope you chose witch side you are on! But I do hope you most of you agree with Lake Tahoe! It is truly amazing. Now I have to get back to sun tanning and reading my magazine out on the boat!

The Best in Baseball
Here's the pitch, swing. It's going, going, gone! Homerun! There have been lots of opinions on who the best is in the MLB but there is only one team that I think of. Which team do you think of?
In my opinion I think the Yankees are the best in the MLB. A few reasons are: The Yankees have won 27 world series when other teams in the MLB have only won about 12. Also. the Yankees have won the most recent world series. They beat the Phillies, the team that won last year. Another reason is, the Yankees almost always go to the playoffs. I can't think of a time when they haven't.
Some people will disagree with me and I can respect that. Some reasons to backup that opinion is: The Yankees didn't win all of their games. They lost some games against the Phillies in their series. another reason is, the Yankees haven't won the world series in almost 12 years. They won in 1998. One more reason is, the Yankees lose all of the time against a bunch of different teams. They lose to the Red Sox all of the time.
Lots of people think that other teams in the MLB are the best, but when I think of the best, I think of the Yankees.

Sports Galore
Imagine you and your team going out on the field, arena, or court to accept first prize for winning a tournament. You'll hear the crowd monstrously cheering your name. You'll be pumping your fist in the air in a heartbeat. Your teamates will be celebrating like no other. This is tournament teams, the best part of sports.
There are three reasons, in my opinion, tournament teams are the best. One reason is there is more competition among the teams. It's often the best versus the best. Teams come from all over the state and country. Another is staying at hotels. On long-distance tournaments you can have the time of your life with your team by swimming and playing games. The last reason is celebrations. Even if you lose the tournament, you can still celebrate being on the team.
Some reasons that my opinion may not be shared is that the whole point is competition. If you don't like competitive sports the tournament level isn't right for you. Another is some families can't afford the travel, tournament expenses, and hotel costs because of the bad economy. One last reason is you fight to celebrate and if you don't like to celebrate, there's no point.
That is what tournament teams are and if you like it good, but if you didn't or don't now is your chance to change. That image is waiting for you. Pump your fist in the air and celebrate. Go out, be free, and join tournament teams, the best part of sports.

Soccer is #1
Have you ever had a favorite sport and nobody agreed. I think soccer is the best sport in the world. The green windblown feild, lined with white paint, two big goals, bleachers on one side and the player benches on the other and that one round ball right in the middle of the feild. Although others think that football is better. Who is right soccer or football? In this essay you will find some reasons why you should pick soccer over football or maybe you will stick football, who knows?
Recently we have found out that soccer is the #1 sport in the world. We know that football is the #1 sport in the U.S. but on a world wide basis soccer is #1. Some boys say "soccer is a girl sport" but it's not. The national level started out as only boys teams then eventuly let girls paly on that level too. Also you don't make plays you just go with what is happening and try to score. It won't cost as much too you have to pay one to four refs but no more then that. Next you have to get use to using only your feet and it a lot easier then it sounds. Finaly there are many diffrent clubs for all ages and levels. Who knows you may be the next best soccer player if you put your mind to it!?
Why does football stop every play? Do they get too tired or are they just lazy. They say it is tiring tackling people. It is also more aggressive. On the up side for football your score is worth more points so it looks like a better score. Also hundreds of people come to high school football games and high school soccer games brings about fifty people. You practice more in football and go to specal bowl games. Next it is the most watched sport in America. The football player get the girl most of the time. All the pads they wear make them look stronger. They are already strong as it is too.
Well I think soccer is better but you decide. They are both phisical activites that are good for you. Soccer is so much fun and hard at the same time. If you want a challenege go for soccer. Unlike football, it is easy and kind of hard I guess. Although, I recommend you side with soccer.

Animal Testing: Good or Bad.
Ever wonder why medicine is safe and doesn't have a lot of side effects? They know that by testing, on animals like mice and rats. A lot of animals are effected. Dogs, cats, and birds all are effected. This essay will reveal both sides of testing on animals.
Medicine is tested to make sure it doesn't kill someone, but in the makings, many animals can die. I believe animal testing is wrong, but i also agree it's right. One of the many reasons it's wrong is that it's unfair to the animals. Just imagine, how would you feel if you were tested on?? Well, that's how animals feel. Another reason is that they sometimes die when the vaccine is wrong. Let's say that all the rats and mice disappeared, the food chain could lose a link and so forth. Now, let's say the doctors are trying to find a cure for...heart disease. They find a stray on the road. Now before I continue, I don't think they've found a cure, I'm just choosing a sickness. So they find a stray and put the vaccine in a dog who has a blood clot. They cure the blood clot, thinking they cured heart disease. They can give the vaccine and things can go wrong.
The reasin that it is good is that we found a vaccine and can sell it, to stop the spread of a disease. If we stopped, how would we know the vaccine wouldn't kill us? Another reason, they are safe. The doctors can see the side effects and hope they are not that serious. We won't suffer from what the vaccine does to us. If we continue animal testing, why don't we test on one, not many? It would be better for the animals. This essay has revealed the sides of animal testing. What ever you choose is your opinion. Thank you for reading my essay!!!!!!!!

Best Team?
There were 32 seconds left on the clock. The ball was snapped to the quarterback Kyle Orton. He dropped back to pass, and saw Brandon Marshall (wide receiver) with 2 Bengal players guarding him. Then, Kyle chucked the ball toward Brandon Marshall who tipped the ball right before the defenders did. Somehow out of nowhere Brandon Stokley ran under the ball and caught it. Stokley ran 30 yards to score a touchdown! Broncos won! This is one reason why I think that the Denver Broncos are the best team in the NFL. You might agree with me if you read the following paragraphs.
I believe the Broncos are the best team, because they have several great players. Also Pro Bowl players such as Kyle Orton (QB), Brandon Marshall (WR), Brian Dawkins (FS), and many more. This means they have been selected to play in an All-Star game against the other conference (NFC). There are 16 teams in each conference. So it is an honor to get to play in the Pro Bowl. The Broncos started the year 6-0. They are in the western division of the AFC. The Broncos hired coach Josh McDaniels as head coach. He was the Offensive Coordinator for the Patriots. Coach McDaniels sat Brandon Marshall the best receiver on the Broncos in the biggest game of the year because Marshall wasn't trying hard in practice. Also Jay Cutler (QB) was wining because he heard McDaniels was going to trade him for Matt Cassel (Patriots QB). So he got mad and demanded a trade. Therefore Josh McDaniels commands respect from his players. Lastly the fans are very supportable unlike some teams.
Some reasons you might not think they're not the best is that they didn't make the playoffs. Some say they get lucky like they did against the Bengals and that their wins weren't earned. Also some say their quarterback Kyle Orton isn't very good. Also their defensive line can't stop the run. All teams have weaknesses though.
To me a great football team has great offense, defense, and coaches. To me the Broncos have all those which makes them the best team.

Which side will you choose??
Bouncing off the waves flopping back on the tube, having the best time of the day. I think tubing is better than wake-boarding. Which side will you choose??
The ultimate game when your tubing is called, King of the tube. King of the tube is when everyone is on one tube and everyone tries to push people off and the last person is the king of the tube. the second reason is it is very fun when the driver of the boat can go as fast as the speed limit and the whole time you challenge yourself not to fall off for, example you would be practicing not falling off on those sharp turns that the driver does. The last reason is if you have a three tuber tube (or you can just go on your own tube) the driver can just take you for a slow ride and everyone can relax.
Now you can see the opposite, tubing isn't better than wake-boarding. Tubing hurts more because when you go over enormous waves and flop back on to the tube and you legs get really sore. It is not good way to learn how to balance unlike wake-boarding you learn how to balance very good. Another reason is when girls are wearing bikinis and when you are slipping off your bottoms slip off a little (it's true!) My last reason is when you are going over all the giant waves flopping back onto the tube, you get super duper headache. Sometimes if you're really far away from your lake house you'd probly have to deal with it, and last for a long time!
From hearing both opinions, I hope you start thinking about my side. Tubing is a great activity to do when your super bored!!

The ultimate game when your tubing is called, King of the tube.

Apples or Dells
Lets say your at the store and need a new laptop and can't decide if you want a Apple or Dell. When you read this I think you may be able to choose by what I'm telling you.
In my opinon. They have more settings and they come with many different things like the camera and games. Apples are also much faster than Dells when it comes to pulling up programs like the internet. It takes a long time for a Dell to pull up something like the internet. They also have a built in camera unlike Dell. You can use the camera to put pictures on your facebook.
The only way Dells are good is that they are cheaper so you can afford them if your low on money. Also they have less settings so its easier to work. Lastly, they can come in smaller sizes for traveling.
This is why I like Apples better and how Dells could use some work.

Cell Phones
"Please please pleaseeee". That's what you would here from a kid that doesn't have a phone and wants one. Some kids have cell phones some kids don't.Should kids have cell phones? That's the big question.
I think all kids should have a cell phone because it teaches responsibility.Or if your kids are in trouble they can call for help. Like what would happen if you were at the mall and your son or daughter got separated, they could call you and meet back up with them.
With the cell phone comes some bad things. Like it cost money to have a working cell phone. If you put Internet on there phone they could search bad things. They could talk to there friends about inappropriate thing.
But you will have to trust your son or daughter not to do bad thing. Talk to them about the responsibility that comes with a phone.But all in all I think kids should have a cell phone.
Now if you give your kid a cell phone this is what you'll here. "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!"

Nuclear Weapons, Safety or Threat?
America has many nuclear weapons. That can be good and bad. We have won (at least as far as I know) one war with nuclear weapons. But that's not saying someone else will get the idea of doing that to other countries and it could turn to nuclear war! Most likely we are going to be targeted first because we would be a threat to the person/army if we went up against them. Everyone knows the strongest or most powerful are targeted and/or hated the most (if they have bad intentions). For example it's possible that some guy from another county might want to be the strongest and for him to be the strongest you have to take out the most powerful. I think that we have too many nuclear weapons, but that's just me.
A smart move for America might be too get of some nuclear weapons. We don't know if some countries form an army against us because they fear were going to blow them up. We also have a few nukes and atam bombs but that is way to many! Nukes can cause devastating effects on the landscape. And I'm talking about more then just a few miles I'm talking HUGE amounts. Same goes with atam bombs. Its also not the best idea to have to many explosives. Because its possible that a enemy country targeted a nuclear storage and then the neighboring states would not have a pretty future.
However, some people think its a good idea to have a ridiculous amount of explosives. If something ever happened like world war 3 then we would have the upper hand. Even though if it was nuclear war then no one would really have the upper hand because of the nuclear devastation. If other large countries used nuclear weapons often then the world would be thrown into chaos! Also many countries may leave us alone because they know were the most powerful and don't want to get on our bad side. Like when some other country bombed us we sent an even bigger bomb to them and they went kaboom! They may also be suspicious of us. Maybe curious what were doing with all the bombs. They could be curious we have a reason for all of it.
So even though having nuclear weapons can be good, we don't want too many. Because you will never know when they will backfire! Literally.

Basketball is the Best Sport
Can you imagine being on the court, with the ball, and the crowd is cheering you on to shoot it? Do you know what sport it is? It is basketball. I am here to tell you the reasons why basketball is the best sport. I will also tell you why people think basketball isn't the best sport. Which side will you choose?
One reason I personally think basketball is the best sport is it is a great way to exercise. This is true because you run back and forth a lot and burn a lot of calories. Another reason is anyone can play. It can be fun no matter how old you are or what gender you are. My final reason is it is suspenseful to watch. For example a basketball team could be down by 20 points in the first half and by the end of the game they can win.
Here are some reasons why people don't think basketball is the best sport. One reason is it takes a lot of time and energy. For example, Drake women's basketball team practices 4 times a week for 3 hours. Another reason is there are many ways to get injured. For example a game can get rough because everyone wants to get possession of the ball that you may have to get stitches or bandaged. My final reason is it is a team sport. This is true because if you have a team with only one good player instead of a team that plays together you may not be able to win.
My conclusion is basketball is the best sport because no matter what happens you will always have fun. Now why don't you go buy a ticket to a basketball game? Or go to a basketball clinic and see how fun basketball is!
