My love for burns hotter than the sun (27,000,000+1 degrees)

Even if my love was a black hole, it would be as big as the sun (1.4 Million km.)

Even if I was as far away from you as the sun is from Earth, (93,000,000 miles) I'd still love you.

Even  with atmospheric scattering, the light from you would still be as beautiful as ever.

Opinion Statement: More local Airsoft

Audience: Local Government; General Public

Airsoft is a widespread global sport. It is basically the same as paintball, but it uses small bio-degradable and also plastic bb's traveling at faster speeds than paintballs( approx 150-550 feet per second). Over 1,000,000 people in 8+ countries play airsoft professionally, and locally. The guns are also modeled perfectly accurate in detail to their real steel counterparts.

Their realism poses a problem though. In many cases places were robbed at gunpoint, but the “deadly weapon” was actually an airsoft gun. By law, any replica weapon must be sold with at least a 6mm fluorescent orange, red, or yellow tip on the end of the barrel. But, it is not illegal to remove, or paint over the orange tip. But if there is no orange tip and it is used in crime, the gun is treated as a real firearm. Those are pretty fair terms. But for some anti-airsoft fanatics this is not enough. They want airsoft permanently banned for all the “trouble” it's caused. That is ridiculous. The only way somebody could get in any kind of trouble with airsoft is if they are intentionally using it in a crime, or stupidly flashing it around in public.

Those who play airsoft professionally have a much lesser chance of getting into trouble with airsoft because they have probably looked up their local laws on guns & replicas. They play at isolated official airsoft or paintball fields where it won't be a problem. The n00bs, or non-pro newer players who play locally with lower-end guns, are usually the ones who will misuse their guns to an unlawful extent. They remove the “stupid looking” orange tip unknowing the consequences of their actions. They then go to a game and someone sees them running around with a gun and calls police.

The only way somebody could get into trouble is misusing airsoft intentionally. To all the people who want airsoft banned, why don't you just sign a petition to ban real guns so nobody could get confused between airsoft & real steel or actually get hurt! So, if every airsofter follows the rules and uses his/her gun at the appropriate times, and doesn't flash it around without the orange tip, then our great sport will be less frowned upon.

The first of the things that I found most interesting about our field trip was the way people lived in the NH climate. There were so many innovations and improvisations that were invaluable in New England's winters. One of which was the feather matresses. They provided excellent insulation during the cold winter's nights. In the summer, the settlers didn't need the heat of the feather mattress. They would simply open up the mattress, take out the feathers, and stuff it with something cooler.

The next was the layout of the settlement itself. Strawbery Banke used to be mud flats before it was filled in with hard materials in the 1600's. The settlement was much more crowded than it is now in it's golden age. There were more buildings, wharves, and docks, but they were taken out during the construction of Portsmouth for more space.

The final one is the way people ate. There were many ways of preserving food, like salting, drying, and turning fruit into jams and jellies. Vegetables were strung and hung over the fire to dry out. Vegetables and meats also could be salted as a way of preservation.Fruits were cut up, mixed with sugar, and turned into jam or jelly.
