For this blog, we were given the assignment to interview anyone we knew with five questions about the state of the world right now. Whether it be about economical problems, world hunger, pollution, or global warming. So I interviewed a friend of mine.
Me: (7:52:43 PM) HEY
Me: (7:53:07 PM) I need to interview someone.
Me: (7:53:12 PM) And I can't find anyone
Friend: (7:53:34 PM) interview the tooth fairy
Friend: (7:53:46 PM) or interview
Friend: (7:53:49 PM) RICHARD NIXON
Me: (7:54:30 PM) You mind doing the interview? I just need to ask 5 questions about global warming and world hunger and whatnot
Friend: (7:54:40 PM) Oh yeah, sure!
Me: (7:54:44 PM) K
Friend: (7:54:45 PM) I'll help ya out
Me: (7:54:49 PM) Thanks
Friend: (7:54:53 PM) no worries
Me: (7:54:59 PM) First off
Me: (7:55:08 PM) What is your opinion on Global Warming
Friend: (7:55:37 PM) aah, it's really not as bad as a lot of people are making it out to be, and from what I've read, not happening for reasons that people say it is.
Friend: (7:56:09 PM) From what I've read, it's being caused by a hotspot in the earth's core (as a heating of the water would melt ice caps a ****load faster than a heating of the air caused by pollution)
Friend: (7:56:25 PM) so as there's nothing we can really DO about it, it's not that big of a concern of mine
Me: (7:57:01 PM) Oh really? Huh. I've never heard about that before now.
Me: (7:57:04 PM) Then again
Me: (7:57:11 PM) I really don't look too much into it
Friend: (7:57:21 PM) A friend of mine sent it to me a while ago
Me: (7:57:25 PM) ah
Friend: (7:57:26 PM) I forgot most of it, save for that
Me: (7:57:41 PM) Ok
Friend: (7:57:42 PM) I wish I could find it again and read it more completely
Me: (7:57:50 PM) Next question
Me: (7:58:04 PM) How would you explain the situation the world is in today?
Friend: (7:58:13 PM) what kind of situation?
Me: (7:58:39 PM) Bad economy, loss of jobs, raising oil prices, etc.
Friend: (7:59:12 PM) economically, dude, it sorta sucks, especially considering the fact that, as much as we complain about it, we're not doing the worst in the world
Friend: (7:59:32 PM) and the fact that everything has to be so much more expensive is dissuading people form buying stuff
Friend: (7:59:42 PM) and if people aren't buying anything, then the economy sinks LOWER
Friend: (8:00:02 PM) so not only is it mostly our fault for the crisis in the first place, but it's our fault that it's not getting any better
Me: (8:00:38 PM) K
Me: (8:02:06 PM) Do you think there's anything you could do to help the environment?
Friend: (8:04:25 PM) so, anything I can do?
Me: (8:04:34 PM) yes
Friend: (8:04:38 PM) Well, EVERYONE can do something. It's only a question of how much
Friend: (8:05:13 PM) I can do my part by picking up this here and there, and being more aware about where I put my trash (don't really need to personally worry about fuel emissions as I'm gonna be walking anywhere anyway)
Friend: (8:05:40 PM) but in the long run, that doesn't really help against things like air/ocean waste, so long as I'm not personally throwing things into the ocean
Friend: (8:06:05 PM) it helps make streets and things look clean, which can,optimistically, inspire others to keep their orginizations clean
Friend: (8:06:38 PM) but for the most part, that responsibility lies most heavially on larger factories and power plants, and governmental orginizations who monitor such things
Me: (8:08:42 PM) Do you think that more environmental friendly power supplies will help lower the pollution that factories and power plants make?
Friend: (8:09:13 PM) it CAN if used properly.
Friend: (8:10:06 PM) Those who control such things just need to make sure that the energy necessary to utilize such power is worth switching power sources in the first place.
Friend: (8:10:42 PM) I read somewhere that, if pure ethanol were to be used as an alternative to gasoline, there would need to be, like, stupidly humongous farms of nothing but corn
Friend: (8:10:50 PM) I'm talking MASSIVE.
Friend: (8:10:55 PM) so it wasn't really worth it in the end
Friend: (8:11:35 PM) if we can find something that both saves energy when used, and doesn't take a bunch of energy to make useable, then it could definately work
Friend: (8:11:38 PM) we just have to find that first
Me: (8:12:03 PM) Ok, one last question
Me: (8:14:08 PM) Do you think that if we need to do something soon about pollution, world hunger, economical issues, etc. and if not, why?
Friend: (8:15:24 PM) well, there's no reason NOT to do anything, as they're all problems. Though, as far as those issues go, the economy takes priority over all, as the strengthening of that will give us the resources to work on the other two issues
Friend: (8:15:50 PM) what we need to do is, as obvious as it is, get people to just buy more stuff
Friend: (8:16:12 PM) which is hard, as prices keep going up because companies need to pay their employees and suppliers
Friend: (8:16:36 PM) and said companies don't have money because nobody's buying stuff because prices are high, blah blah blah, it's a giant circle
Friend: (8:16:59 PM) if we can get the economy back on it's feet, then we can start worrying about other things with more attention focused towards them
Friend: (8:17:12 PM) so yeah, we should focus on those things
Friend: (8:17:20 PM) we just need to prioritize
Me: (8:17:48 PM) And that is it
Me: (8:17:55 PM) Thanks for the awesome answers dude
Friend: (8:18:05 PM) NO WORRIES MAAANG

Jonathon! Your interview is really well done! The times and everything! Quite impressive. My favorite question you asked was if something needed to be done immediately...good to note, because so many people think that something can be done "later"...but when? They never say.
