Kobe VS Lebron

Among the NBA elites are Kobe and Lebron. There are many questions to who is better. In my opinion Kobe is better, he has 4 championship rings and is working on his 5th this year. But Lebron has 2 MVP titles to Kobe's 1. In believe that the most important goal in the NBA is to get the ring. Here is a video of Kobe in action.

In your post please answer the following questions: Who do you think is better? Who do you think will win the NBA playoffs? If you are not an NBA fan, then do you have a favorite sport or activity? Do you have a favorite athlete?

Legalize ?

I'm sure you've all heard discussion about the legalization of Marijuana, or "weed" as most people call it. There are many arguments about this. We could save a lot of money on putting people in jail just for using it. Some people believe that governments could raise money by legalizing it and taxing it! According to the comedian Katt Williams says: it's only got three effects, Hungry, Happy, Sleepy. (:

Arguments against legalization include the statement that it is a gateway drug, that leads to harder drug usage.

What do you think of legalizing Marijuana usage?

Transformers Then and Now

The transformers are about two races of high tech robots with the abilty to transform into different objects. This enables them to gain advantages in the war between the heroic autobots defending earth from the evil decepticons who wish to take over the universe. The transformers have been around since 1984.
