What happened next?
I think most people can see the similarities between us and chimps... We have flat faces, skin and hair, etc, etc, even thumbs! How could I have forgotten....
When we watched the movie of Keeli and Ivy, and the one of Nim, something that was hidden on the back of my mind popped out, and reminded me chimps have feelings and are very smart, thinking creatures. Maybe I did not know that before, but I always had a feeling that we were close cousins.
Anyway, that was one of the things that the movies made me think about. But what occupied my brain the most was what happened with the chimps, Keeli and Ivy specially, after the movie was over?
We weren't given a flash forward on the chimp's future, right?
I did my research and I found out that the movie was realised in 2002 but in 2006 the Chimpanzee Centre had to close because of the lack of funds. Some chimps were sent to Primarily Primates in Texas, a sanctuary and research facility for chimps and many, many other species of animals. The remaining of the chimps were sent to the Chimp Have; Keeli and Ivy were sent there. A few chimps that belonged to the Ohio University passed away in the process of changing location, others died at their new home.
It saddens me that I couldn't find more info about Keeli and Ivy, and their life in the "new" home. But hey! Next time I go to LA, I may go see them! :D

Humanity should have ended the 21st
Apparently, even if the Senate committee voted majority to allow a same-sex marriage to come to be, it is not enough to write a proper bill, or so it appears to seem, in this huffingtonpost.com that I just read.... I'm confused. Maybe I read it wrong, maybe I should do more research. But in the end, there is no true saying, or support, to make this... thing real, right?
Correct me if I'm wrong (Like you can see, I'm not well informed),but I don't see much effort put into this. I also wonder, why can't the higher ups do what the majority of the people want? I know, this is a childish question, but they are really getting to my nerves. Sometimes I want to go down to Springfield and protest the Argentinian way! (At least I'll get some attention from the press after getting arrested) Hitting casseroles with wooden spoons.... Hell yeah.
Any way, I think it's time they realize (again) that they work for us, and it's because of normal citizens (and aliens) that they are up there. I mean, the country barely escaped the fiscal cliff!
Yes, I know about the differences between the parties, but they should be able to put out differences a part, us as people too, and try to understand the point of view of the other and try to work around that. I'm sure, that even in my PE class could solve large scale problems like how to work up the economy, how to supply the popular demand of social issues, and how to keep little, innocent children away from crazy psychos with guns from their mothers!!!
WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE WORLD!!!!!!????
.... Now, that I got that out of my chest/fingers/mind, I want to clarify that:
Yes, humans are hard-headed people who don't often change their minds; yes, it is hard (coughImpossiblecough) to come up with an idea that will make everyone happy, and yes, I am being hard with the Gov. because, even if they do try, and even if they have too many things to worry or work about, my people from PE could do it too, and probably better (I know, I said that before.... but because it's true!)
All right, now I'm done :) I hope, in my future, everybody will have equality like how the Constitution says... That women will have the same pay as men ( I swear, I will punch my boss in the face if he, yes HE, discriminates me), and that coloured people will also be treated like any white person....
I strongly believe.... that every white male should have a daughter and a super best friend coloured dude.... Then, maybe then, they will see beyond their own benefits at brining everybody below them..... Well, not like every white man is a racist, arschlochs...

Hello, it's Been a While
Indeed, I am aware that I should have at least posted 3 more stories in my blog, but lately I have been thinking that whatever I write about, is not going to be an original idea, because most teens my age know what I know, so that is sort of one of my legit excuses. I'm also aware, that by not writing any posts, I am endangering the grades of my fellow students in my pod, as well as my own, so from now on, I will try my best to find interesting things to write about... And post more often.... Thank you, and sorry!

8-N
November 8th, yesterday, was a big day for many Argentinians. Throughout the whole world, the citizens or loyal aliens of the country stood up against the corruption and inequalities that the government brought and still brings to it's people.
To explain matters a little deeper, most Argentinians feel cheated by the President (see one of previous blogs) because she treats the poor and 'unfortunate' better than the middle, working class. What is wrong with helping the poor? The problem comes when the poor take advantages of the government, advantages like money rather than education *. The men and women who work and get rob daily, protest for the 35 percent of their income that is taken off their wallets to bring them the same broken highways of always, the protest for calling their spouse at night to make sure that there is no one at the side walk so they can open the garage door with no fear of any person waiting with a revolver at hand. There are many examples and reasons, yet you should get the idea, dear reader. Those who are not being paid to breed, have had enough and have come back yet again to claim for fairness in a peaceful way.
At least 2 million people have showed at the Plaza de Mayo, the park in front of the Pink House **(Sounds and looks like a Club) for 8-N, and could be said that the same amount of people showed up in the other locations used to protest: City of Cordoba, Mendoza, Sidney, Vienna, Berlin, Rome, etc.
Where the idea of a protest began, I do not know, and believe it will never we known, but the event was well spread with the help of internet and social websites.
Of course, even if the protesters joined each other at a certain time and place, all showing their frustration with signs and drumming casseroles (aka, 'cacerolazo'), I am sure that most do not know what to or how to change to create a better future for the country. Although they want education and security (main issues), the Argentinian people are not used to solving such problems in a orderly and usefull-for-many-generations-to-come manner.
Even after what I've said, I'm terribly proud of those who went out there to protest for their rights. When they sang the anthem, I couldn't hold myself back from singing with them too. Every little movement to make people notice the magnitude of unhappy voices that want to be heard, is a small step to a possible brighter future. Sooner or later, something will happen, something big that will change the country, for the good or worse, I don't know that either, but I trust my people to work for what is right, at last.
I believe that after lives that suffered pain and frustration, someone will emerge to dig Argentina out of its hole.
(Interview of protestant coming soon)
* This sounds and is very bias. If I could talk to anyone who supports the president, then maybe I would consider their opinions and reasoning, but since I know none, excuse me with my sincere apologies of showing you such unfair accusations without a way for others to present their cases and counter arguments.

Apples to Apples 2
Out of the 88 people I was going to ask my question of "Do you know how to peal an apple?" and " Which on of the sexes do you think knows how to peal an apple the most?", I only got to ask 20 people...
I know....To measure out 'who exactly knows to peal an apple the most' I need more guys and girls than that... But it is something, so I'll just type down the information that I got from these 20 peeps.
The boy's statistics...
50% know how to peal an apple.
Only one said that the male population knew how to peal an apple the most.
The girl's statistics...
80% knows how to peal an apple.
100% said that the female population knew how to peal an apple the most.
In the end, I think it's pretty obvious who we think peals an apple the most, although 50% of the guys whom I asked actually did know how to (Which sincerely surprised me, sorry boys...)
Now, the question that we have all been waiting for. Why is this so important???
Answer~! Because, dear peeps, this shows how women still today are looked down upon to house chores and taking care of the family. Instead of thinking that women go to work to discover the cure of cancer, society still thinks that women practice on how to peal a freaking apple. Maybe it's because your mom bakes apple pies and you see her pealing apples, or maybe when you were sicky your grandma pealed you an apple so you would choke on the skin of it, I don't know, but apparently we still belong in the kitchen or taking care of sick children.
It's not like being caring and nice is a bad thing, what would be do without our mother being there when we need her the most? I don't know how we are going to change this universal mentality, but at least most people know about the argument that women do not belong in their homes, but outside doing their what they want and still taking care of their families like dads do, and that's a start to a more equal world :D
Anyways, I did this to prove to my mom that girls know how to peal apples more than guys, so, Hah!! I win mother, dear! Muahahahahahahaha!

Apples to Apples
Today, while learning how to accurately peal an apple, my mind turned all feminist on me, and it was like: "Guys don't know how to peal apples!? So why should I!?" *Throws apple out the window*
Then my mom told me that they did, and I said they didn't, and she said they did. So, I decided to ask guys and girls if they know how to peal an apple and who they think knows how to do it, too. Starting today!! (Wednesday 10th, of October)
Stay tuned and see who's right!
(Look out for me, I'm seriously doing this...)

Trust?
This October 7th, yesterday, Venezuela had it's elections.
Why is this important? I don't know, it may change depending on you...
Hopefully, you know that Hugo Chavez is the president of Venezuela and that he is an interesting fellow, have being in power since 1999 and being re-elected until 2019, as well as being a comrade of the Communist brothers, Fidel and Raul Castro, and the Socialists leaders, Evo Morales of Bolivia, Rafael Correa of Ecuador, and Daniel Ortega of Nicaragua.
These words, "comrade", "Communist", "Socialits", blah blah blah, should or maybe are raising your anti-US-beliefs antenna up. Yes, understandable, we should all be concerned of "the reds", but their ideals aren't evil. Our humanity makes them what they are, and I'm afraid that yet again, human greed has made Hugo Chaves powerful again.
South America isn't the most just continent of the world, we are pretty awful. Our culture is to benefit ourselves and let the others live their lives, without giving them a single look (Unless they have material things more modern than us.) We are greedy, and don't even try to conceal our ways of stealing others.
Now that we got that clear, you can interpret that most South Americans like to be powerful and have stuff.
The Argentinian president, Christina Kirschner, also got re-elected last year, and although most Argentinian people who I've talk with hate her, she still won with a 54 percent. This statistic screams suspicious. Could she had manipulated the electoral vote people to win the elections? Of Course. She already sends people to stave others to death, she steals from people's pockets and gives no public service or structures. She's a great lady, so pretty too.
Oh yeah.
...
....
Where am I going to with this? Don't trust the South American government. I don't know much about Chaves, but in Argentina, the government is dirty like a freshly pooped diaper. You can't trust them. Since Kirschner and Chavez are friends, my guts tells me that they are from the same side, that they will do anything to stay in power. The South American people of every country know about this, but are too lazy to do anything, whose who can't take it any more, leave the country because they can't fight against them.
Who knows, someday it may interest you. Someday, a South American cultured dude may get a high rank possision and make the government greedy, and corrupted...You know, it's just a thought...
....You have been warned...!
JK!
