Nature and pollution

Our planet is a very fragile one. Nature is very easy to damage, but very difficult to keep alive and safe. The responsabilty of man is enormous in all this process, organizations and groups of activists fight against pollution and animal killing. What do you think about this problem? Do you have a solution?

Things I never do.

There are many activities we don't like and of course we don't do. I never play football or practice sports, I sometimes have a nap after lunch, but I always surf internet, watch movies and study. How about you?

The most dangerous animal

There are a lot of wild dangerous animals, some are snakes, scorpions, sharks and lots more.
The one I think is the most dangerous is jellyfish. In Australia they float on the sea, they are transparent and invisible, you can hear them or see them, so you don't know when you can be hit.

I have a dream.....

This is the historical speech by Martin Luther King. Black and white are equal, there's no difference in color, we all feel and dream the same.
What's your opinion about Martin Luther King's speech? Watch the video excerpt on the bottom of the entry bar.
