BAD IDEA!!!!

On September 11th, 2001 the World Trade Center was crashed by extremist Muslims on an airplane. When Bush used the word Crusade it outrage and worry many people because a crusade is a war between Christians and Muslims. So if you were a Muslim you will be scared that they are going to kill you. But it wasn’t all the Muslims that blew up the Twin Towers, so it will really scare you if you were a Muslim. Because of 10 extremist Muslims, we all going to die, that’s how a Muslim will think.

GLADIATORS FIGHT

In Ancient Rome they used to make gladiators fight, to distract people from the crisis that was going on. These gladiators had a very short life, they had to fight until one of them die. Gladiators were people forced to fight with each other and animals. Gladiators were slaves, criminals and Christians.
Today, you could see the same thing except that they don’t fight until they die. But today we have boxing, wrestling, NASCAR and many more sports and things to distract people. But everyone knows that when you watch a show you expect something bad to happen to another person, just like in Ancient Rome. When you watch boxing you expect for one of them to get knockout, same as NASCAR, you want a car to flip and burn on fire. So you could see that is almost the same distractions as the gladiators fight. People getting hurt, that’s all you want to see.
This clearly demonstrate that we haven’t change nothing, all we want to see is violence, which is not right, but that’s the only way to distract people from what’s going on. Because if you use music that will only distract them like for 2 or 3 hours but with violence people will be talking about that for days.
