Titanic Opinion 10/24/10 #1
===Would you recreate a loved one's death? I surely wouldn't! Though passenger's (on the Titanic) relatives are planning on doing the exact thing! The captain of this recreated ship is planning on recreating the whole night that the Titanic went down, just minus the iceberg! If I was aboarding that ship I would be second guessing the whole ride about if it would happe again. Yes, they will have more life boats, but what if something else went wrong? For example, my Nana died when I was 7, and no i would never want her death recreated. How the cancer took her life, or how she took her last breath in pain in that cold hospital room. Well, this is what the captain is trying to do with the Titanic. Though, it all comes down to your opinion. I wouldn't, but would you? === _

﻿Google Opinion 10/25/10 #2
==Do you think Google is making searchers stupid? This is what some people are concluding! People are thinking it is changing the way we think. I say no, it is noit making me stupid! I know a lot of people who are getting all As in school that use Google a lot. I think Google is just a fast way to learn. This search engine is a good resource for me when I can not get to the library. For example, One day before school I remembered I had to write down information for school and so I searched for the info I needed on Google. No, I wasn't lazy all I needed was quick information, personally I think it's not all that bad. It just helps me think faster. Yes, sometimes I might skim information when I am in a hurry but if I have a lot of time on my hands then I will sit and read all of the informaton given to me. I think of it as fuel for my train of thought. If people have knowledge why not share it? == _

﻿Indianapois School Conflict 11/1/10
===﻿I say we have enough school! School boards have got to give students a rest. We students are at school for 8 hours a day and barely have a break. Summer is the thing we look forward to and if we don't have that to look forward to then we will not try. Some people may, but I know I wouldn't! In middle school they take recess out, now in high school they're going to take our Summer?! I would protest! I know that some say that we learn more by being at school a greater time but there's a difference between learning and being bored. Am I right? ===

Cyber bullying 12/8/10
===In this passage it talks about cyber bullying. I believe cyber bulling is a way to get pleasure out of someone. Scaring someone or just bullying someone over the internet isn't cool! It's actually, I think, a cowardly way to bully someone. I mean, would you really say or do something like that to someone's face? For example, I was one my phone one day when I received an anonymous call, so I picked it up and said, "hello?" After the person on the other end said, "your so ugly and I hope you die," I said, "wow, if you could say this to my face I would be surprised, but thanks!" After this I hung up because if someone is being rude then you should ignore and go on because really what they're saying usually isn't true and shouldn't make you feel bad. To make a a long story short if you are ever cyber bullied then just ignore it and if it becomes a problem report to an adult, don't let it keep bugging you! ===

﻿School Lunches 12/9/10
===﻿In this passage it talks about school lunches and how they are trying to make them more tasy and better. I think that would be a great idea. There are some kids in my school who love to make and try food, they want to become chefs, soI think that would make them so happy! A lot of people in my school take their lunch because some don't like it as much as lunches at their home, including me. I would love it if my school lunch ladies took a little bit more time to serve veggies and healthier pizza toppings like basil. I actually have never tried basil but it sounds delicious! For example, one Thanksgiving I didn't put stuffing on my plate, but then my mom told me to try it and I loved it! I bet if the lunch ladies served good foods that sound weird than more kids will be open to trying more healthy foods, I know I would. If the lunch ladies served basil tomorrow for our pizza all I can say is bon appetite! ===

3rd 9 Weeks Are Bullies Criminals? 1/05/11 In this passage it talks about bullying and how it effects people. Knowing that bullies can go to the highest extent into making someone commit suicide can be very scary. I believe these bullies that did that to that girl should be punished by the law. For example, My cousin is mean to me sometimes and although his parents punish him it never seems to be enough. It sounds the same with these bullies, If they are punished by their parents they won't feel it more empowering than being in Juvie or jail. This is my opinion, maybe you have another, but all I can say is that I hope it doesn't happen again!

<span style="color: #ff00ff; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 170%;">I think this show should be filmed, but with older girls in it instead of Toddlers. I do pageants and think they are fun, and build up confidence. Toddlers having fake teeth, spray tans, and hair pieces is not okay at all. Not even at my age, I would never wear fake teeth or have a spray tan. Like for example, once I was in a natural pageant and there was a little girl, around 5 or 6, and she had a big glitzy dress on and make up! "I bet that girl doesn't want to even be here," I said to my friend noticing the crying girl. Young girls should never be put into something that don't want to do, and I think this show is showing parents that this is okay to do. Parents on this show think that their daughters are the next Miss America but I guarantee that they will regret spending the huge amount of money they have spent on pageants. For now I love being in pageants and I think it's a little fun to dress up now and then but not as much as these little girls do! I think these moms need to stop forcing their kids to do stuff they don't want to do and let the kids decide for a change, whose with me!

<span style="color: #ff00ff; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 170%;">Honey Bees 1/14/11 <span style="color: #ff00ff; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 170%;">I think that the matter of honey bees disappearing is very bad! Our food supply will drop and is dropping right now. If the honeybees keep disappearing we will not be able to survive in 40-50 years! Just think about not having citrus fruit, nuts, broccoli, onions, coffee, and cocoa! And these foods give us the calories we need to survive. For example, once my mom didn't go to the grocery store one week so we had to try to find new things to eat. If that happens to the world sooner or later we will run out of things to eat! Now I can survive without broccoli but not my cocoa!

<span style="color: #8103fc; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 190%;">**I think that jaguars are very interesting animals and i think we should all make more of an effort to protect them, not just set up cameras. What the law is doing could save many jaguars from death, possibly extinction. But then again it might not. Before they make a statement that big it is my opinion that they should check in big rain forests first! I really am not just going on if they say they might be going extinct if they haven't done bigger and more thorough sweeps through the Amazon. For example, once I was in the car and my mom told me that we might have been moving. I believed her but she hadn't even looked for a house yet. This is what I mean, we ended up not moving because we couldn't find a house. But, I do think we should always respect wildlife because some of the animals were here before us.**

<span style="color: #8103fc; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 190%;">**Five years ago Twitter started out with just one tweet, as an experiment in "microblogging." Microblogging is less than 140 characters. Now this has become a cultural landmark. Twitter has more than 200 million users (Which I am one of) and averaged in 2007, just 5,000 tweets per day. But now more than 140 million tweets in a typical day or more than 1,600 every second. This site has become so popular! Like, for example, Ritas was a new place, but then it turned into a bbbbiiiiiggggggg business with a lot of customers! This is an example that you can follow your dreams and that any idea can turn BIG. **

<span style="color: #8103fc; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 190%;">** I think that this issue is very concerning. This much amount of nuclear power can wipe out so many people that it's saddening! Knowing how many people are losing their loved-ones is heart-breaking because when I lost my Grandparents i was crying and shaking so bad that I had to be taken out during their funerals. I can't imagine the sadness! But, why would you walk into a power plant that has blown up and full of radiation? I definitely wouldn't! **

Tornado in Alabama May 20, 2011
 * I think that this is devastating to hear about. How the scene was described sounds horrifying! These people have been so strong. Enduring this much devastation and disaster is truly amazing. For example, my former teacher was in Hurricane Katrina. She was scared, yes, but she knew it was going to be okay. Yes, she lost a lot, but gained a lot too. Bravery is something you need in life, for your own good and boooooyyyy do these people have tons! I am praying everyday for these people! **
