Three years of fighing and less than 100,000 deaths in that ancient arabic country is worrisome. But what if it ended. The countries bordering Syria would love that, for it meant that refugees would stop coming. But what if there are other problems after the war besides rebuilding. Thousands of displaced refugees need to go somewhere stable. President Assad would have to consider setting up a transitional government for a few years. Cause what if some fundamentalists take power and put Syria in a government more repressive than the current one? What if it never ends? It will have to end, otherwise it will fall into anarchy if the frequency of violence does not decline. If it declines. What if it does decline what then? Does it mean isolated attacks and shootouts will happen throughout the country. Will Assad step down after setting a path to eventual democracy? But civil wars and revolutions don't really bring much good to a country except death and destruction and and eventual instability since nothing else changes. What if the end of the civil war in Syria meant a victor and a vanquished? Would any problems be solved?

Free writing What if
College was free. Gasoline was only a dollar. Food was healthier. Healthcare became simple enough to understand. Food was healthier. Diseases of today were cured. Pollution was no longer a problem. Teenage pregnancies went through the roof. Tobaccoo became healthier. Guns become a bigger problem. Healthcare was actually free like Canada's. The Syrian civil war ended. The western hemisphere use the American dollar.
What if Guns became a bigger problem?
The United States has the highest gun crime. And the past couple of years we've seen more shooting sprees happen. Would people start carrying guns with wherever they go? Guns only lead to trouble so if it happens we'll be ready to blow its freakin' head off. When masscre starts, shoot the madman. Maybe couldve prevented so much death in that Colorado movie theater. Or cause more from stray bullets from trigger happy shooters. Law enforcement would probably have to wear full body armor. Maybe start calling them robocops. What if people had gatling guns fixed into the homes or cars. Its like a warzone waiting to happen. The inner cities will become warring fortresses or communities like in Somalia. Maybe give people an edge once the zombies start to rise from a disease. Ak47s would probably be seen the most in public. Imagine some good looking women carrying that around. Should you flirt or avoid. Its tempting. But if guns became a bigger problem what then? Do we respond to this and defend ourselves from each other and maybe ourselves. Imagine what would happen if you used that to deal with a school bully.
What if you never had to eat?
You drink food and get the nutrients. Sounds kind of bland tasting or no taste at all if you just need the nutrients. But then we probably wouldnt have to worry about chemical or artificial ingredients that are rather harmful be added to our liquid food. Restraunt will would probabl serve both solid and liquid food. Solid means more taste and just by having it there. But if we evolve to only rely on liquid food what then? What would solid food do to us if we grew to rely on the liquid form. Would our digestive system weaken and not be able to do number 2? Would our taste buds devolve. Would our teeth weaken from lack of use? Evolution happens over tens of thousands of years so we probably wouldnt know until we see changes or develop a way to see the future or how life would be different. Weakend teeth would mean zombie bites would be weaker.

Free writing Paper work and money are usually inseparable
Paper work and money are usually inseparable. Quoted by me. The inseparable because theyre made from the same material. And you need to fill crap on paper to make payments or to recieve money. Papers you receive from the mail usually means you have some money that needs be spent. Some papers offer you some worthless crap for your money that youll regret spending. But you'll more than likely say no to their offers of crap that you wont spend your money on and spend it somewhere else and be happy with that decision in the future. However not all paper work is about you spending money with that same paper. Some papers tell you how much you spent, need to spend and what you didnt spent. Thats usually unknown to shopaholics. Some papers tell you how much money you will be recieving for any legal and illegal that you may or may not have done if the police asks you those questions. And as said in the beginning money is paper, which is made from trees. Though they probably would like it they were all made of metal and not die to due economic wealth.
Free writing You get dumped with new resposibilties all of a sudden
This stress cluster is expected in advance but you can never comprehend the magnitude of these new, difficult responsibilities. No one can. Because their so consistant its not even funny and makes you wonder if some of them are even really necessary to be brought up in the first place. Many responsibilites are mandatory, but some as said are wonderered if others are mandatory. You buy a new car and have to pay off the direct payments, okay those are needed. Then you have gas and insurance to take accountabilty for, but then further mainentace costs, some mechanics like to feed you misinformation, constant spending is a resposnibility that comes up all of a sudden, but really makes you question if it that honest advice or recommendation that told you needed this to happen. Paper work and money are usually inseparable and are mandatory, frustating, and eventually energy drained. Take away your fun time, or choose options that will give you less work and more time to finish the other crap that got dumped on your head.
Freewriting Fear
Fear is a single word with many meanings. A broad, single word. Actually its a narrow defintion, it just means your afraid of someone or something, its broad in terms of examples. And can be direct or indirect, friend or foe. You could be afraid of the dark or your mothers cooking, or heights or talking to girls if your that young or afraid of humans.
You can fear things that arent scary but rather frustrating or stressful things. Actually those could fall under something as scary depending on the circumstance. You can fear the price of gasoline. Everyone does because theyll have to spend more of their hard earned money. Fears although can be scary but also cause dissappointment if a situation goes south or not in your favor, its scare first followed by the latter. I'm afraid of complicated assignments that forever and running out of ideas for the next chapter of my Anime/Manga based fanfiction to where I might loose interest in it and not bother to touch for the next 10 years. Change of habits because of force are feared for good reason. You get dumped with new resposibilties all of a sudden. I know thats a buzz kill for everyone cause you get less time for yourself. You can be afraid of your status at work.

Travels to Greece
For almost two decades I've traveled to Greece for at most a dozen times with my mom who comes from their and my brother. Half of my blood line comes from Greece obviously. We visit my mom's sister, her Canadian husband, and two daughters who are around my age. I complained many times over the lack of things that I was mostly familiar with, but my last visit two years ago, I drank some beer which obviously helped me relaxed a bit. Though I drank in moderation unlike most American teens who get carried away. In Greece theres no set age limit for alcohol.
Another thing about Greece is the rugged terrain, the abundace of villages throughout the country,and the unlimited stray cats roaming around said villages that keep the snakes out and that may or may not carry diseases. We only visit the northern part Greece, but mainly visit an island called Thasos in the northern Aegean sea.

Shooting Range
In the spring of 2012, my older brother Michael took me to the firing range at the state forest conservation area to fire off his two guns. The Russian Moisant-Nagant from the 30s and a semi-automatic Yugoslavian SKS that he purchased from a coworker.
The Moisant's recoil, due to its larger caliber, proved to be killer on my brother's shoulder, but luckly I was wearing a jacket so the padding was thick enough to decrease the flow of energy going into my body.
The SKS was a little gentler for it used a smaller bullet.
I had alot of fun shooting with my brother despite the dangers the guns posed. I wasnt really allowed to reload them for my brother feared the worst of something to happen. Guns have always fascinated me, despite my idealogies, and appeared cool, even though they're dangerous. I purchased three guns from my neighbor last year before he and his wife moved to Georgia.
