  1. I think that there needs to be serious measures taken to get guns off the streets and to keep them out of inner cities. I'm not sure if people realize just how incredibly simple and cheap it is to get guns in most cities. I think that laws being put in place to try to curb this have a hard time getting passed or enforced because people automatically assume that the government is trying to make guns illegal for everyone. I used to live in a neighborhood in Brooklyn where shootouts happened on a regular basis. Innocent people get shot all of the time from strays. I can't for the life of me understand why anyone would be apposed to stopping this type of thing from happening. 

     

    As for law abiding citizens owning guns, I'm all for it. I used to be very against it but I've changed my mind. Unfortunately as an American I live in a country where people feel the need to kill others at random. I don't believe people do this because guns exist. There is some other reason, and that needs to be understood with the hope that it can be prevented. I believe that I have every right to own and carry a gun. If I have to go through extensive background checks, be evaluated by doctors for my mental health, and go through training and education programs, I'm totally fine with that. I have a family to protect and I should be able to do that in any way that I see fit. 

  2. From what I understand there is absolutely no benefit to smoking light cigarettes. In fact it's probably worse since people get the false idea that it's not as bad, and end up smoking more. Marketing cigarettes as light is banned in New York for this exact reason. I thought that was a national thing but maybe I'm wrong.

    Try making exercise a part of your daily routine if you can. It helped me a lot when I did that. If I smoked at any point in the day before I went to the gym, I was pretty much useless there. 

  3. The first step I took to quitting was leaving my cigarettes at home when I went to work in the morning. It was really helpful. A huge part of the addiction is the habit of smoking at certain parts of the day. You have to break that habit and realize your entire day will be just fine without cigarettes. 

    After a while I started smoking less and less in the evenings and eventually reduced myself to only smoking on weekends. Once I was at that point, it was not very difficult to quit completely.  

     

    If you have the opportunity, buying loose cigarettes from a bodega is the way to go when you are trying to cut down. Sometimes you just need to have a cigarette, and buying a fresh pack will always, 100 percent of the time lead you right back to heavy use. Maybe consider giving your pack to a close friend to hold for you. 

  4. I think Adnan did it and I don't really think it's odd for him to be maintaining his innocence. A lot of people would. He may not want to be branded as a murdered for the rest of his life. As long as he denies it, there will always be a lot of people who believe him. 

    I think Jay played a part in covering up the murder, but not much else. He lied a lot, but that is somewhat understandable. He was really young, scared, trying to protect himself, and had a bad opinion about talking to the police. Baltimore is not a great place for snitches.  

     

    I think most of the confusion comes from the state's case. There wasn't enough evidence to prove their version of things. That doesn't mean he didn't do it and it surely doesn't mean the cops and attorney's won't do or say anything to win a case. 

     

    I think the only other possibility is that she was killed by a serial killer. It's unlikely when you consider Jay's testimony though. 

  5. How could they not "pull the release" when pretty much every major movie chain was refusing to show the movie? Even though the threats to attack movie theaters are probably just a bluff, who wants to take the risk? People weren't going to feel safe seeing any movie playing in the same building as that one. It could've crippled the entire industry.

    This is pretty much what it all boils down to. Other movie studios were probably pressuring them to pull the release as well. Christmas is one of the biggest times of the year for movie theaters. I can understand why they are doing this. They can just release the movie in a few weeks. 

  6. Selling off a bunch of my collection to help fund my wedding and honeymoon this coming June.
