Assignment 8

I believe that we are having a very long streak of bad luck when it comes to the United States politicians. There is no real way to know how effective and to know how reliable our elected politicians will workout until they are actually in office. By that time it is to late. It is a shame but our elected leaders do reflect upon Americans because we are the ones who put them in their position. Whether it was unintentional or not, these assholes are still being put into office, our bad!

Goose Crap

Ocean County College has got to do something about the damn geese that flock to the campus. You can't take four steps in the Grass without stepping in geese shit. It's ridiculous. A lot of people think that the geese dropping act as a fertilizer, but it is actually highly toxic and has shut down parks in many local areas.

Spring Break

I really didn't do much of anything over spring break. I definetly enjoyed being able to sleep until I had to get up for work at four in the afternoon. I went out to eat with my girlfriend a few times, went to a few parties, and just chilled.

Drug Testing Employees

Many companies put current employees through drug testing. I don't believe a company should be allowed to do this because it is against the rights of the individual. If someone could show up to work high out of their mind and still do a better job than more than 75% of the other employees, than leave him the hell alone. The company shouldn't have any say in what the employees do after they leave the workplace.

Animals in Medical Research

Although I am against any type of cruelty to animals, I believe that medical research on certain animals is fine. It may sound contradicting but I do not classify a rat or a mouse an actual animal. I am totally against testing on any type of domestic animal such as dogs or cats. I feel that we are better off risking the life of a chicken than a human life. Here's an idea, don't like animal testing? Volunteer yourself or better yet, let's start taking more care of the overpopulated prisons!

Convicted Felons

I believe that convicted felons should be forced to serve out their whole sentence without parole depending on the crime. If someone goes to jail for rape, murder, or something of that nature they should rot in prison until their death. But if someone goes to jail for years for a pety crime, I believe that they should be given some type of parole. Throw a white boy who sold a little weed and got locked up for distribution for a couple years, I can promise you he will not even want to touch the stuff again after a month.

7th Assignment

I love your class. It is one of the few that I don't dread waking up to go to. I like the class discussions we have and also the essay topics we are given are fun. I don't like some of the material we have to read just because it is so boring and I have trouble getting through it. It also would be cool if we got out a little early some times. But besides that I definitely enjoy the class. Do you teach any other classes other than English 1? I would like to take another one of your classes next semester.

Chuck Norris in Iraq

So Chuck Norris enlisted and got flown to Iraq. BIG DEAL! The news is idolizing Chuck Norris for growing a set and flying to Iraq to support our country. There is literally a shrine set up at a military base in Baghdad to this actor. How about a shrine to honor the men who actually matter, like the men who have been in Iraq for years? Or a shrine to the men who have lost their lives in the fight? I think it is ridiculous that the news is making such a big deal over this not-so-great actor.

Government Officials Strike

Government employee such as fire fighters and police officers have just as much a right to go on strike as anyone else. If government employee feel that they are being mistreated, under paid, or what ever the matter may be and are fore seeing no change, they should be able to strike. If the government cant meet the needs and requirements to support police and fire fighters, then the government can find someone who is willing to work under their payouts and treatment.

Iliteracy In America

Iliteracy in America is a major issue which I think should have been taken care of a long time ago. Being iliterate in America restricts people to many things, job oppurtunity being one of the biggest in the long run. Iliteracy causes a lower self esteem and confidence level. Something that may help this problem is testing at an elementary level for any type of reading or writing issues in students. Most reading and writing testing does not occur until Intermediate or High school level which I believe may already be to late for some. If tests occur at a younger age it could greatly benefit the iliterate because it is much easier to learn at a younger age. Another solution to the issue is assigning tutors to those who find reading and writing difficult. Not only assign the tutor but also make it mandatory for them to be used by the student.

6th Assignment

I think that the generic traditions in family of today will eventually fade out. Family seems to be drifting further and further apart as generations pass. If you look back into the 1950's, family was much more valued than it is today. Back then, families were much closer than they are today. There is generally no such thing as the whole family sitting down to dinner every night of the week anymore.

Dont eat the snow

A recent study has showed that eating new fallen snow could be hazardous to your health. So now yellow snow isn't the only thing you have to worry about. Scientists have found that there is a small amount of bacteria in snow which kills various plants such as tomato and beans.

Essay 2

Im not going to lie, I really hate writing. I absolutely just suck at it, but this community essay is actually fun. Im actually enjoying writing this.

GUESS WHAT!

Go figure, rumor has it that Britney Spears may be pregnant again. WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THIS WOMEN? She has had her husband leave her and her kids taken from her and she may be pregnant with another child. I dont understand how she could ever even consider another child after what she has put her children through already. So I guess the real question is; whos the father?

Community

I had alot of fun creating my community. The group decided to create a huge city based on sports. The community is designed under a gigantic dome. Each section of the city is based on a different major city of the United States, Times Square being the center, or capital of the city. A few of the many rules of the community are that everyone in the community must be between the ages of 18 and 35...if your not your kicked out and wont be accepted in, gambling and drinking age is 18, and an IQ test must be passed along with disease tests before entering. The community is a network of friends accepted by the committee, which is my group and me. The group generally got along in making these desicions, with exceptions to one.
