Would you want a car that drives itself?

I would want a car that drives itself because it would be easier to get to here I need to go and they would hopefully be less pollutant.For example, In 2010, Google Inc. proceeded with testing these cars on California’s roads. Some of the drives have occurred on crowded highways, through busy cities, and even down the most “crooked” street in the world, Lombard Street in San Francisco.In addition, according to Google Inc. Some of the methods used to drive the car accurately include the use of video cameras, radar sensors, and satellite maps. Also,Google hopes that robotic cars will improve highway safety, give people more free time, and reduce pollution.In conclusion,Yes I would want a car that drives itself because it would be safer, and less pollutant would be put in the air.

Who or what has had a strong influence in your life?

My family has and has had  a strong influence on my life especially my little brothers.They have always had and will always have a strong influence on my life because they motivate me to get things done and stay on track. They also have a big influence on me because I know that since I am older than them I need to be a good role model, althought I do not live with them I know by talking on the phone , visiting with them and keeping my grades up I can be a good role model for them.My uncle is also another great influence in my life because he is always telling me im doing good and to keep it up but he also always tells me he believes in me and that he knows I can do anything I put my mind to,He motivates me more than just verbally, he is alwys so caring and when I got good grades for a long time he bought me a new quad not jusr because I needed a new one but because I earned it.

Which holiday has the most meaning for you-Canada Day, Thanksgiving, Valentines Day--and why?

Thanksgiving is the holiday that has the most meaning for me. It has the most meaning because it is time for me to be with my family. It is also important to me because it is a day that I seem to really focus on what I am thankful for. I also like this holiday because my family makes really good food that I do not get very often. These are the reasons Thanksgiving has the most meaning and love from me.

Should dog fighting be illegal?
Dog fighting should be illegal. For example, it is inhumane and defeats the purpose of nonviolence. This shows that, animals of any kinds should be treated like any person should. This also shows that, animals have feelings just as developed as humans. In addition, animals should not be used as entertainment especially when they are being put in DISTINCT  danger. This shows that, animals should not be anybody's source of POTENTIAL amusement dead or alive. This also shows that, animals should not be pent against each other if they are meant to harm one another. The people who house and allow these events to occur should be put in jail, because this act is just as bad as putting your child in danger. In conclusion, people should not be allowed to be harm for profit and should not  be allowed to live life without corruption.
