What do you think part 2

What do you think about Twitter? I think that Twitter is a very prosperous website for online chatting. But I don't get why someone would put all of their personal information on the internet. Its just not safe, someone could search you online and find out where you live and kidnap you.

What do you think about the disasters in Japan?I think that the crisis in Japan is really devistating because so many people died. Right after the earthquake the tsunami came and practacly destroyed the reactors.Then they started to malfuction and startto explode with radioactive hydrogen gas. So now every thing is just a big mess.

What do you think about the tornados in Tuscaloosa? I think that it was somewhat good and terribly bad. I think it was good because it brought people together, like the known drug dealer that helped the police man out from under the rubble. But then again it was horribly bad because so many homes and lives were destroyed.

What Do You Think?

4th 9 weeks
#1.What do you think about the jaguars going extinct? I think that the jaguars going extinct is horrible because people love to go to the places where they are. Because of this the country's end up making money. But they bad thing is that the more people there are the more the jaguars die from their homes getting destroyed. If every one started to donate money to Yaguará then lots of jaguars could be saved.






















#1. What do you think about the about the redoing of the Titanic? Well first of all I think it's a good idea. I think  it's a good idea because all the money that the supporter earn can be used to make a monument for the Titanic.Also the supporters could monument for all the people that died in the sinking of the Titanic. For the Titanic monument the supporters could build a one-third scale replica of the Titanic. That's why I think the cruise is a good idea.



 

#2.10/25/10 Do you think Google makes you stupid? I think that Google does not make you stupid because every time you look something up like a definition you might find out that that word has more than one meaning. Also Google can teach you how to use your own website. And Google can help make your projects better showing images that stand out and look spectacular and you might get a good grade. That's why I think Google doesn't make you stupid.

#3.11/1/10 What do u think of year 'round school? I think year 'round school would be good because there would be eight to ten weeks of school and then a three to five week break after that. Also that means student will be in school more and not forget what they have learned.



#1.1/5/11 Do you think bullies are criminals? I think bullies are criminals because they are ruining peoples lives. Also bullies are breaking the law against harassment, making threats, stalking, verbal abuse, and physical abuse. Bullies should be  treated like criminals because they hurt, threaten, and abuse people just make themselves feel good. That's why I think bullies are criminals.

#2.1/26//11 Do you think illegal immigrants are good for the economy? I think illegal immigrants are good for the economy because they account for 5% of the U.S. labor force. They are workers, taxpayers, and consumers which means the economy makes more money. Also a 2006 study in Texas estimated about 1.4 million unregistered immigrants added almost $18 billion to the states economy. That's why I think illegal immigrants are good for the economy.


#3.2/5/11 What do you think about the reality TV show 'Toddlers and Tiaras'? I think that 'Toddlers and Tiars' is giant waste of money because what if the child doesn't want to be in the beauty pageant. Also I think it is a little bit of child abuse because the parents strike their children and the producer doesn't do anything but question the parents relationship with the child. The parents make the children get thing that isn't meant for them like getting their eyebrows waxed. that is what it think of 'Toddlers and Tiaras'.


#4.2/15/11 What do you think about the disappearing honeybees? I think that the disappearance of the honey bees is bad because soon we won't have any food growing and then things will start to die. Things like cows, pigs, chicken and other things that humans eat will all be dead because they pollinate more area of land than any thing else. That means food won't grow because it will not be pollinated by the bees. That's is why i think the disappearing honey bees is bad.
