Texting

I think that texting is adding to our communications. It is fast and an easy way to reach someone. If someone was doing something important and was getting a call in the middle of what they were doing, i think that it would have been very disrupting. It always happens and that moment becomes very awkward. The phone could be on silent or vibrate, but when the volume is always up, its different. Texting sort of limits that awkwardness. Most people nowadays put their phone to vibrate if they receive a text message. also, when getting a text message, it is so much esaier to express oneself rather than doing it in person. some people are just really shy and don't like to confront people face to face so they end up writing a note or in this case, text message one another. the only thing is when breaking up with a boyfriend/girlfriend, that wouldn't be cool to do it over the phone in a text message. that should be the one exception and the only thing that could or should be done in person rather than texting.

Marijuana

Marijuana can be used for many things. It can be used for getting high or it could be used for medical reasons. Getting high is being in a state where one knows nothing of what is going on. They are awakw and able to move around, but they have no idea of what is going on. For medical purposes, it is used to help whatever is going on. I'm not that sure of why they use marijuana, maybe it has special properties. Marijuana can lead someone to make decisions that they do not wish to make. These decisions may have consequences linked to them. I believe that marijuana should be legalized. Therefore there wouldn't be as many people breaking the law and getting arresed. It is that person's own fault if they choose to do it and then do something stupid afterward. If that person does do something stupid, then yes, they should be arrested. I believe that marijuana should be legalized because there will be less people disobeying the law.
