Israel vs. Palestina

ISRAEL vs. PALESTINA

tv host: Hello everybody !!!! :):):)
In Middle East there are problems, and one of the most importants is the war between Israel and Paslestina. Today, here, tere is an israelian who will explain us what happen and how she defend her religion and her land. Hello Sarah!
Sarah: Hello Tim! Yes, it's true, we have a lot of problems but I think we are right. All our lives we had been discriminated and mistreated. Hitler and nazis began a genocide and the survivors had no place to go. I don't think that Israel has the militar power to kick the palestinans out of our land.
Tim: Ok. This is an israelians opinion about this issue. Now, we'll gonna hear a palestinian one!
Shiva: Hello Tim! Yes that's true, but we have the same problems that they have. Genocide is alsi familiar for us. Anyway, I undestand that you are angry that we are in Jerusalem too. But for both it represents our country, our promissed land and religious influences both sides. Both see Jerusalem like a holy place and everyone wants to defend what's for them . But I am sure that there us an alternative to resche the conflict.
Sarah: I agree with you that there's an alternative. But I think that Jewish people don't have any other place to go. We went to Europe and they killed all that they could. And because of that we decided to return to our promissed land and now palestinians wants to kich us out. And they have a lot of islamic countries to go, whereas we can't leave elsewhere.
Shiva: Yes that's true, but we were raced. We were born here it's also ower home!
Sarah: I do eather. But you also have to understand us. Yet you believe in the Coran so do we in the Torah. And it says that Yahvé promissed us a land and that was Jerusalem, and it still is.
Shiva: But Mahoma, when he ran away from Mecca he also talked about this our Jerusalem. Mecca is a place where we go for devotion, but Jerusalem is our home, a holy place for us eather.
Sarah: I know what you mean, of course. And you say it now, you have two or more holy places to go and we only have Jerusalem:our place and the one of our ancestores.
Shiva: But being your holy country and our's too. Don't you think it's possbile to live together in peace there? Respecting each other beliefs. In the end, Torah, Coran and Bible talk and predicts about respecting each other.
Sarah: I think that we can't live together in the same place. This isn't the solution for the problem. But I'm sure that we can find a solution but it will be really difficult because we are fighting for our believe, and the religious fights are very difficult to resolve.
Tim: And now the time is over. That was a really interesting discussion. Next week we'll continue . . .

A film I watched, 21 Black Jack

21 BLACK JACK
It's a film that talks about a group of young people who are experts counting carts. They play in Las Vegas. The protagonist of the film is Ben Campbell (Jim Sturgess), a shy and brilliant student from the MIT. He can't pay the registration of the university, and because of that the decides to play with his friends the casinos. Their teatcher of Maths, Micky Rosa, is their teatcher of this "extra school activity" that brings them every weekend to Las Vegas. But Ben starts to go too far of the line. But he and his friends have to be careful with the security guard Cole Williams.
Ben will have problems with the policieman and the teatcher...
but I won't explain it to you because I want you to watch the film.
I really like this film, I don't know why, perhaps because this can happen to everybody, and I can identify with him. And also, I really like the protagonist, Jim Sturgess (L)(L) xDDDD

This book is a collection of fives fables mentioned in Rowling's saga, after Dumbeldore's dead.
The expectations of the new book are really high. Before it publication the book was ranked the Number 1 on Amazon's British and U.S Web sites.
Also J.K.Rowling was launching the book with a tea party for a local of children in Edinburgh, in Scotland, where she lives.
The book is published on behalf of the charity by Harry Potter's traditional publishers. Rowling has said she hopes the book will "not only be a welcome present to Harry Potter fans, but an opportunity to give these abandoned children a voice."

Computers

Now I'm going to talk you about the computers and about the modern times. Are the computers necessary to our lives?
On the one hand, I think that we can find the information quickly with Internet. Also, the technology industry gives work to a lot of people.

But, on the other hand, I think that there are a lot of people that have "technologydependence", that the first thing that they do when they arrive at home is turning on the computer, or the Play Station 2, Play Station 3, Play Station Portable and other ones.
I also think that we don't need tecnology to survive, it isn't a need. The society makes it a need.
It's true that it gives work to many people and because of that nobody wants to be a farmer and we need farmers, because they provide us the raw material that we need tu survive.
