Gunpowder and the Printing Press

I think they are both really important but gunpowder is way more important, gun powder lead on to many different more advanced inventions, but the printing press...there's not much important stuff that came with it after. And what power does the printing press have? Gunpowder has much much more, it's much more intimidating unlike the printing press. I don't know much about these things so that's why this is way retarded. You guys can disagree.

Ali Baba and the forty thieves

The book ali baba and the forty thieves is way cool. i love like the intensity of that book, and how something interesting actually happens unlike all the other books we read. It's the type of book you can get stuck on maybe and read on instead of doing it cause you have to. The part where the girl goes and sees the dagger and starts dancing and stabs the dude and...the end...

Should religion be used as a reason for war?

I don't think religion should be used as a reason for war. I'm pretty sure most religions are against wars and violence, and like solving things peacefully, and war definetely isn't very peaceful. So defenetely no.

Why are some books considered holy while others are not? What does it take for a book to be considered scripture? Can some books be considered inspire

I think that depending on your religion if they say that the book is holy then you can think it's holy. But if it's something you read a lot, and not just a book that you read once in your life but one that you are reading quite a lot. But not twilight, that is NOT a holy book. And if it has good teachings and stuff like that

Koran

The quran is pretty cool, i think it is totally worth reading. We are learning about muslims and islam. Isn't the religion based off of the quran, then why NOT read it. It is the best source of information for us to use. And it's cool to compare it to the bible and see the difference. and ya.

Grendel

I think grendel is freaking sweet! i'm way glad we read it. So we could see different point of view. If you just read what grendel was on the beowulf point of view it makes you think he's evil and absolutely horrible, but if you read the grendel book, you realize he's not as bad as you think and you get to like him better. I wish they did that type of stuff with most other books..but oh well

Beowulf

Lot's of people read books and don't really pay attention to the little details, mostly just the more important things, which is still good, but i was reading beowulf the other day and i somehow decided to pay more attention to what i was reading instead of thinking about other stuff, and i realized the book was a LOT better then i thought, i focused on the little details as much as i could and it actually made the story creepier and more interesting, and it made me really want to read it more.!
You guys should comment!! i love reading peoples comments!! peace homies..
