Is Protesting A Fundemental Value Of Democracy? (4 Minute Read)

 Hello everyone, I know I have not written in a while and I would like to say that I probably will not be writing like I used to for some time. I will be trying to write posts like this from time to time though. This is an essay that I wrote about whether or not protesting is a fundamental value of democracy. Enjoy! I believe that protesting is a fundamental value of democracy. I have many reasons but I will only talk about a few. The first one that I would like to talk about is the "Why" of the situation. There is always a reason why something is happening. Sometimes the reason will be valid but at other times, it is not so valid. Nevertheless, it does not matter whether a reason is valid or not. It still falls under a fundamental value of democracy. Another thing to be taken into consideration is the "When" of the situation. For example, if people are protesting and asking for Smallpox to be eradicated then it is less valid as Smallpox has already been eradicated....

Return To India!

Hello everyone, I am returning to India and I am going to write about the return journey and how it is different from my last post about international travel. You can check that out  here.  Without further ado, here is the post. 3:28 PM EST I have just reached Raleigh airport. I will be going to Miami on a 2-hour flight. The airport is nearly empty and everyone is wearing a mask. I have not gotten past security so I do not know how many shops are open or anything like that. The parking is quite crowded though. Parking has drastically reduced as the cars left are around 1 half. There are only 20 flights in the next 4 hours. This is around a little more than one-fifth of regular capacity. The security line is also much shortened. Other than that most things are normal with most desks being open and so on. The point that I am trying to make is that things are operating much the same with flights leaving and coming and cars being taken out and then back and so on. I would also lik...

Can You Touch This?

Hello everyone, This is the fourth news post. What can you touch during COVID? According to this new parody, nothing. Dr. Lee a principal at a school recently posted a video where he sings a parody of can't touch this. He dances and has adjusted the words to fit with the theme of warding of COVID together by following guidelines. He runs around sanitizing himself and telling students to keep their masks up. It was very well put together and it looked amazing! The main focus of the video was actually him telling them not to touch things. This video was hilarious and got the message across that we all have to wash our hands and wear masks. Here is the link. I hope that you enjoy the video. Tell me what you think in the comments. Tell me if you have an interesting piece of news that you want on one of these posts. Please remember to view some other posts. Also, leave a comment and tell your friends about this blog.

Fighting Over Chocolate?

Hello everyone, This is the third news post edition. In Germany, there has been a major fight going on. Over who gets to make square chocolates and who does not. Ritter has sued Milka and has gotten the rights to be the only chocolate brand in Germany that is allowed to make chocolate in a square shape. What kind of a fight is this? What is the basis behind this kind of argument? They really do not get much out of being the only square chocolate company in Germany. I believe this is a legal matter. I do not understand this so could someone please comment on why they would do this?   Also, how did Ritter even get the right to be the only chocolate company to make square chocolates? I mean, they did not really invent the shape of the square. Even though they were the first to make square chocolates in Germany, there are still plenty of other companies in the world that also make square chocolates. What I do not understand is why this went to the high court of Germany. Please rem...

Are We Doing Football?

Hello everyone, Today is the second edition of my new news series of posts. Three major College Football conferences are telling fans that they intend to play. This is not soccer I am talking about. This is American Football. Just in case you do not know what American Football is  here  is an explanation. If you have read the explanation then you will know that the sport is very high contact and that players are constantly in danger of spreading the virus. How can anybody think that college football is going to begin at regular times? This would turn out to be a really bad decision if college football for those conferences actually does start. I mean, look at the number of cases from baseball. I was hoping other sports would see reason after seeing how baseball has so many cases. So why is anyone been thinking that football can be played? This is so silly and I am happy that at least some conferences have the sense to cancel their football season. Please leave a comment down b...

Tesla Engineer Reinvents The Chocolate Chip

Image
Hello everyone, This is the first edition of the news posts that I told you about. Tesla engineer Remy Labesque has reinvented the chocolate chip alongside a candy maker. Why does anyone need to make a better chocolate chip? The one we have today is good enough plus that engineer should use his time doing something worthwhile. Making chocolate chips should not be at the top of his list! That would be something like an invention to help reduce poverty. The simple idea of somebody making a chocolate chip, simply because he felt they could be better is utterly ridiculous. What is even more ridiculous though, is that there is a company dedicated to making new types of chocolate chips. They already have three new types in the making and a bag of them cost $30. Another thing is that the new chocolate chips do not even look that good. They stick out of the cookie and look more like they should be like a jam in the middle of a bad looking Jim Jam. Even worse is that the inventor has spent 3 ye...
