The most popular nickname for the Skyline GT-R is “Godzilla”. I like to call it the “King Of The Streets” though because of its Japanese origin and its immense power. You must be wondering why it’s nicknamed the “Godzilla”. The reason being is that in the 1990 Australian Car Championship, Nissan’s R32 GT-R won the race and knocked the, in my opinion, retarded Ford Sierra off the podium that it held for a small amount of time. Ryan McElroy, contributor of Car Keys claims that, “From 1991, Australia was the GT-R’s first export market, and after it knocked the venerable Ford Sierra Cosworth off the podium at the Australian Touring Car Championship, Australian press started to refer to it as “Godzilla, the monster from…
The term "designer baby" is an informal name given to a baby whose genetic makeup has been altered by means of genetic engineering. This term was originally derived from 'designer clothing ', implying that the baby has been pieced together with desired 'traits ' or characteristics according to the direction of those that hold with them the power to change a baby before it is born. This may be the parents, scientists or doctors. Currently, it is a technology in its early stages, used to screen embryos and select those with desirable traits for implantation into a mother. However, as it slowly advances and possibilities begin to reveal themselves, parties for and against have rallied about the moral rights…
Someone once said, “who said you can’t let people scare you. You can’t go your whole life trying to please everyone else. You can’t go through life worried about what everyone else is going to think. Whether it’s your hair, clothes, what you have to say, how you feel, what you believe and what you have. You can’t let the judgment of others stop you from being you. Because if you do, you're no longer you. You're someone everyone else wants you to be.” Nobody thought that Seabiscuit was good enough to race but in reality they just did not understand him. Once Red Pollard, Tom Smith, and Charles Howard bought Seabiscuit and started using frontier training methods he learned a lot more and started winning. Do not judge someone based on their appearance;…
What I'm about to tell you may shock you, might even amaze you. Let me start from the beginning. It was a day at the end of June, this day starts off the coast of Nirvana (an island located in the centre of the Pacific Ocean), where a beautiful young girl with blonde hair and blue eyes was exploring the rocky shores after a big day of surfing. As she explored the girl noticed an opening in the rocks. The young girl was curious about the opening and her inquisitive nature drove her to check it out. As the girl got closer to the opening she began to hear a 'whooshing' sound coming from within the opening. The girl continued to move closer to hear what was making the sound but SUDDENLY! She slipped and let out a loud horrific squeal.…

The Crucible is a good portrayal of the events that happened. The vulgar acts of the townspeople to these ladies is profusely obscene. This would not happen today, people may get immensely worked up over things but they would never kill people like that. In today's society we still have radicals, but law enforcement would never let this happen. The peril of what happened back then is an abomination; it is a blemish on our country.…

Donald J. Trump was sworn in as the forty-fifth President of the United States of America on January 20th, 2017. This follows one of the most controversial presidential elections in history. Since the ceremony there have been protests nearly every single day not just in the United States but all over the world. This comes about because of Trump’s executive orders which are laws created by the President that do not require Congress’s approval and take immediate effect. These cover a wide range of hot topics such as immigration, foreign affairs, and the public health of the American people. Abusing executive power shows that the president has proved that he is a threat to our democracy. Our leader demonstrates that he is not capable of holding…
Imagine that you trained all your life for that special moment of playing in your first NHL game. At the beginning of your first shift in the game suddenly another player’s stick comes up and strikes you in the eye. This incident ends your career. This could have been prevented if you wore a visor. I think visors should be mandatory in the NHL in order to improve a player’s safety. Statistics have proven players who wear visors in the NHL play less aggressive. There are many incidents involving sticks and pucks going into player’s faces. A recent incident occurred between Philadelphia’s Chris Pronger and Toronto’s Mikhail Grabovski. Furthermore, two years ago a former NHL player Brad May, Gave a speech supporting the use of visors.…
If you haven't been living under a rock for the past week, you should know that Donald Trump has just come out as President-elect for the United States of America. While Trump will be sworn in later in December when the Electoral College throws its votes, Trump's shocking win along with Hillary Clinton's concession means that the Republican candidate will be sitting in the White House before the year ends. So if you are looking for something special to commemorate the event, why not get a gold-plated Trump iPhone?…
The ship sets its course to an unfamiliar destination. Civilization. As then sail flies up and the ship goes on its way, the boat is silent. The boys were now on there way back to society, away from the mischief and savagery that had grown within each of these boys on that horrid island. The dark clouds filled the blue sky and the ocean rocked the boat back and forth. The boat was silent as night as the boys shook from not only the movement of the boat, but the horrors that have overtaken their minds away from humanity.…
B. This stands as in handing out sentences, perhaps tougher in some circumstances will stop the offender from re-committing crime and also others around them from following in the same footsteps. If you can scare somebody with a sentence, then are they less likely to commit a crime for fear of the consequences if they are…
