... big question on many people’s mind when thinking about this tragedy is ‘How were these students allowed to get the ammunition and guns used?’ People can not help but think that this could have been prevented if America had stricter gun laws.

... time he enters a scene. 60% percent of all male recruits quit or do not make the cut, O’ Neal must overcome this statistic and others to become a part of Navy Seals. The most memorable scenes in the entire film are two extended music sequences in which Demi shaves off all her lovely locks, and does one-armed push-ups in a tight tank top. Her struggle is about survival of the fittest. This is made plain by three words spoken by O’Neals words that become sort of the mantra for the movie “Suck my - - - -“. What these words means is that O’ Neal has become fully assimilated, she has transformed into a lean mean fighting machine. What DeHaven and O’Neal’s super ...
