Can Gaming Save the World?

As students in college, those of you reading this might be or you might know someone who is interested in games. Whether it is video games, board games, or dice games you most likely know a "gamer," and you have probably played a type of game before. Games have been around for a long time and they have made people happy and helped them come together throughout the word. Personally, I like to unwind after a day at school playing a video game on my Xbox at home or at a friend's house. Today there are a wide variety of games and different ways to play them. From healthier motion controlled games to controllers that require movement, to the ever recognizable game controller where you only use your thumbs. In your opinion do you think gaming is good? Do you think it is bad? Please watch the video posted in the link and tell me your thoughts and opinions about it. Do you think that in times of crisis those gamers can, in fact, change the world?

Pittbulls

Pittbulls. Are they born mean or are they trained to be mean? 

Do you think that the attention given to Pittbulls is fair or just motivated by fear
from the public opinion responding to violent stories of them?

Do you think that Pittbulls are any more dangerous than any other breed of dog?

Do you or someone you know have a personal experience involving Pittbulls?
Is it good or bad?

Do you think it is fair for a Pittbull to be put to sleep only because someone accuses
the dog of viciousness with no investigation, and how can this be prevented?

For those of you who have never been exposed to a Pittbull, what are your
feelings about them without the experience of having met one? Did the rumors
you have heard of them cause you to feel this way?
