A neat introcudtion of Nuc. Chem
Nukes are not the solution to your problems
It has been said that Nuclear weapons are the "greatest peacekeeping invention" in history- but will it really last? Sure, it may have stopped war around WWII times, but today isn;t the same. Numerous countries now are in possession of nuclear warheads- an estimated 19,000 of them it seems- and America, Pakistan, and Israel being of the more famous owners of them.
But why do they have nukes in the first place? Common reasons range from, as above, keeping peace to having defense against others who have them. Defending against weapons. The original plan for them is no longer valid since we don't need to go bombarding japan every few years.
First off, keeping them to defend against more nuclear weapons is already flawed logic. A large reason why other ocuntries are assembling warheads at all is to combat their foes and their nuclear weapons. Such as the USA. The american government has nuclear weapons to combat foreign ones, which were, sometimes, spurred by us. It becomes simple, if all sides put down their arms then there is no need to raise them back up.
Of course there could always be an insurrection where having some force could help. If a World War III started, then perhaps nuking another country would solve it for sure. To me that sounds absurd; solving violence with more violence. Not to mention the thousands of innocents nukes take off by default. They can't cloose which part of the country- what house to muke. It's a weapon of mass destruction for a reason.
But why bombard another country to solve a war? Will that work like WWII? i'm sure it won't. Say, we got in a war with pakistan or which ever country you like with warheads. If we bombard them, they'll respond with theirs. That's what they make them for. defending against stuff like that.
It won't be like Japan where they surrender wthout a fight- and it won't end well.
Naturally you could say that countries realize this, so they won't attack another, therby creating some strange form of peace and nonwar. However that's a risk. A gamble of no countries doing anything dumb and not all people are of the same views as another- it makes us what we are. Human.
The USA might one day find a cause to engage war in, maybe the europeans will want us out of their land, maybe a terrorist group will get some for their own usage and that could mean anything really. Following any of these or however you want to make up, it will not only end in probable casualties of who knows how many, but loads of other complications as well..

What in the world is a Flifferhuzza
Upon some chance, our teacher proposed us a challenge to delve into later in the evening. He asked simply- to define flifferhuzza. Now, the challenging part of such a task is that I've never heard of such a thing. It made me curious for a moment- breaking it down doesn't work since i didn't know what a fliffer, nor a huzza is. It doesn't sound like any other work I've come across, nor fit much anything in any context.
As any person think do in my case, Google was the surefire remedy for my confusion- so i plugged it in. Sure enough there were dozens of links on the word. Countless people writing of it as if they knew it their whole lives. But what was it? Surely it's a noun of sorts from the context but what else could i piece together?
I had stalled for a while in order to put some thought into it. Surely it would come to me in an hours notice, but nothing. Not for days. But then suddenly it all made sense. I had been lost in my own flifferhuzza the whole time- trying to find it.

A request
Homework should be gone, or at the very least lessened. It takes up far too much of peoples time after school; for barely any of the teachers time. I mean, one to two hours is fine, sure, but for each class? Do we not have a life? Nothing to do every night besides homework? Wake up, go to school, come back, do homework and fall asleep. Unless that all we're supposed to do until we graduate from college then i say it should be revisited.
The 6 hours in school daily, plus maybe a few hours a night is enough. I see no reason to ever work past 9:00 a night in order to not get marked down. Why not just cram it into the 6 hours we have in school? Why make us take more time out of our daily lives of leisure? I'm not saying that the idea is bad but why that much?
People have jobs as well. Other obligations to do everyday. Clubs, sports and the like. Combined with homework, what relaxation do you get?
PS: no, Mr Sheehan i don't mean your class, your homework is fine <_<
most absurd argument i could come up with
How many problems exist in today's world? People get fat while others starve. Thousands go off nothing while others spend hundreds per day. While governments spend billions they don't have on expensive aircrafts and god knows what. How many people are taken advantage of each day, in who knows how many ways? Is there no way to fix it?
How many conflicts must happen on a day to day basis before humans will stop? Why, through all these thousands of years has the cycle not changed? Why do humans keep fighting? Keep finding problems with each other?
Why not stop them?
If there is a way to stop the fighting and conflict why not take it? Would anyone not?
It's simple. Without humans how is it possible to not have peace? Aggressiveness and fighting is part of human nature. So long as they are here there will be conflict. That is unavoidable. But if the goal is to solve problems then why not clear all humans? What better solution is there? Think of all the problems that would be solved. Not one person left to be hungry, not one to. No more complaints exist. No more tragedies. No more disasters. There will be absolutely nothing disagreeable to humans past that point. The world will be at rest. No one will be upset and all problems will be solved. Isn't that so?

Procrastination
"What do you think you're doing?! You still need to do your homework! Get going."
"B-but..i'm busy.."
"Oh? With a video? That's no excuse."
"It's really interesting though! You know it is.."
"Eh..it's neat..still.."
"Just lemme finish this one and we'll see.."
"<_< fine.."
----
"Can you get going yet?.."
"I'm kinda tired..maybe a nap first"
"Nono just finish it up and you can sleep"
"I can do it later don't worry!"
"Well if you can do it later do it now.."
"I can't concentrate like this..goodnight"
"Wait!.."
----
*groan*
"Now can you?.."
"I'll try.."
----
"Care to explain why there's a video playing again?"
"Not really no"
"Just turn it off and write it already.."
*sleepily begins writing with an expression of disagreement*
----
"Why'd you stop? You only have 4 lines down!.."
"Well..<< friends..and things.."
"...." *turns off computer*
