I knew most about Folgers and Oral-B, because I use those products in my everyday life.

The product I knew least about was Iams, I didnt know Proctor and Gamble made pet food.

I have used Oral-B, Folgers, Crest, Dawn, Duracell, Bounty, and Charmin, these are eveeryday items that I use.

Looking at this page, it seems like they need alot of healthcare products, I think it would be a great idea to make a bathroom product that can be a cleaner as well.

Proctor and gamble has made a form online for anyone that has ideas, they can easily fill it out and submit it to the company.

Car of the future

The type of car I predict I will be driving will hopefully be an Acura Integra.

If money was not a concern I would buy and Acura Integra or a WRX Subaru because those are my two favorite cars.

If money was a concern I would probably go to a used car lot and find the cheapest car there with the best gas mileage and least damage.

Who Killed the Electric Car?

1. The car manufacturers collected and destroyed the electric vehicles because they beleived it would ruin the fuel economy and they didnt want to take the chance.
2. I disagree with the destroying of electric cars because they were a great idea and would help eveyone in the near future.
3. How the car companies disagreed with the idea of electric vehicles.
8. Electric cars are a great alternative to engines because it will stop pollution in the air, greater gas mileage and they run on batteries.
9. In the next 10-20 years I think we will be able to buy a hydrogen powered vehicle, as of today right now we are starting to make advances in the field of hydrogen powered cars.
10. My favorite type of car is an Acura Integra GS-R and a WRX Subaru Sti

Gun violence can be stopped

Stricter gun control laws can prevent youth violence. This subject has been brought up because of a slight increase in school shootings. It triggered a concern about limiting the purchasing of guns by youths. I think this is deffenintly necessary to prevent gun violence. I think all stores should limit the sale of common handguns, and perform background checks on everyone. The rise in homicides caused by guns was mostly around the age of 18 or even less. According to the article, decreasing drug trafficking decreased the number of gun deaths in youths.
Another cause of youth violence is rappers talking freely about carrying guns, and also rappers being brought to television about being arrested for gun possession. This can be controlled by editing things said, even though its done already, there are still un-edited versions available. Since all these rappers are so rich and famous all the kids drain in their music and go by it, which results in a rise in crime rates.
So concluding this topic, it can be commonly stated that stricter gun control laws can prevent youth violence, but the real question is, will they? Will stopping the talk about guns in rap music lower crime rates, will trying to decrease drug trafficking decrease gun violence as well. Just look at the actual facts, the homicide rate in the US rose between 8 and 10 per 100,000 people from 1970 to 1995. In 1980, it peaked at 10.2 murders per 100,000 people. By 1985 it fell to 7.9. Then rose about 24% to reach the peak of 9.8 in 1991. It then has been declining, reaching 5.5 in 2000.
