An important characteristic in a friend is having the quality of be a  trustworthy person.

because with out this quality that friend is not your friend. One of the reasons that this 

characteristic is important is because as a fact you know the person is honest and he would 

steal from you or lie to you. Just like one of my closest friends did  the opposite of this by first

stealing property that it was mine and lying about it afterwards. Another reason of this 

characteristic is important is that it show maturity and a strong character in a person. An 

example of this is that you can trust him with personal matters and that person responding like 

an adult about it in a situation that involves serious matter like a business sale or even a simple 

thing like a joke or comment. But last but not least another reason that my friends 

trustworthyness is a must have that the communication reaches another level. For example you 

eventually tell him secrets and stuff that you would tell others like jokes, pranks, bad things and 

good things. So if looking for an important characteristic in a friend make it been trustworthy.

my opinion on the most contraversial issues that surround the war in Iraq is that for me war is

inevitable and it has to be done help them. The reason I state this is that the U.S invovelment 

down there is actually helping them a lot depending on the point of view. For example now they 

can create a new government that is not a dictatorship and developed into a great democracy.

Also another reason is that after the confict is resolve the US can be a benefited by this in a 

better control of the oil market. For example, a better oil price for us and others nations so is 

cheaper for us. But the main reason I Think we have to be there is because the inhumanities

done to does people in years a endless crusades of wars maybe by helping them to become

a more unique region they could finally taste some freedom. For example, they could have

freedoms that we have like free speech, free religion, freedom of life without suffering. So on 

my opinion on war is bad but the end justifies the meaning and it has to be done.

In the many activities I enjoy doing one of my favorite is playing Paintball. I think this is one of 

the best sports ever because of the many different effects that as on you. Like one of them is that 

it can be the most extreme workout you can do. For example with all the running, diving, rolling

and dodging you will exercise every part of your body from head to toes and even the brain. So 

you will hit the top shape by doing this. Another great reason is that it is so stress reliving that 

you will be stress free all month. Just like when I play it feels so good afterwards that all that 

anger, stress, and anxiety is gone and u feels like a million bucks. And last but not least the 

most important part is that the your teamwork and leadership skills are reinforced. For example

you need all or most and your teammates to win and a leader to guide you throughtout the battle

so you learn to rely on them as they do for you. So because of all these reasons I think paintball

is one of the great sports because of what can contributed to you.
