This is a very interesting topic. A lot of the members of Odd Future have left the group to pursue solo careers. You may want to research if there is as much interest in these solo careers as there was for the group. I agree that their sound is very “blunt” and I’m very curious what interesting things you will find as you continue your research.

These sources seem reputable and informative. I think many would agree that the use of the bomb in that situation was appropriate given that it, in the end, would save 1 million lives, as you mentioned. However, for the purpose of writing an argumentative essay it may be beneficial to include a source that does not support the dropping of the…[Read more]

I think it would be interesting to look into how the tax revenue is utilized in these states. For example, in Colorado I believe they use a lot of the marijuana tax revenue to fund their education system. This means that a lot of money is being dedicated towards drug education and prevention programs.

This is a very interesting topic. I think it also would be interesting to look into how these psychological problems effect the behavior of the inmates once they are released. Prison is supposed to be a primarily rehabilitating experience that helps create citizens better prepared to be contributing members of society. If they are forced to live…[Read more]

Talmadge,
When continuing your research on ADHD medication I think it may be beneficial and interesting to look into the abuse of medication like Adderall by people without the disease it is meant to treat. When it comes to the benefits of the drugs for people with ADHD I think that Doctors probably know best, however the issue of addiction is…[Read more]

Since I am a man it is difficult for me to comment on the subject of sexism because I have not experienced it. However, in talking to my classmates and family I have found that sexism is extremely widespread but is often very subtle which makes it hard to distinguish, especially for men. The question is, where do we go from here? I think that the…[Read more]

I agree with your opinion that GMOs are safe and beneficial. I remember researching about GMOs a few years ago and recall learning about how scientists have genetically modified rice by adding Beta Carotene. In doing this they were able to introduce the vitamin into populations that typically do not have access to it, specifically in West Africa.…[Read more]

Hi Jayna,
I will begin by saying that I supported Hillary Clinton for President. I am an African American and I felt particularly threatened by some of Donald Trump’s proposals. You said that you hope the “bad or racist-seeming proposals” don’t become law. While I respect that you can identify some issues with your candidate I think it is…[Read more]

I, along with many other who have commented, know what it is like to wear a uniform. I think wearing a uniform definitely decreases the likelihood of bullying when it comes to the clothes we wear which may be especially concerning for those who can’t afford to buy new clothes that often. However kids will absolutely find other reasons to bully…[Read more]

What a thoughtful post! I agree that the clown epidemic is concerning but I don’t think there is much we can do about it aside from punishing those few that are caught. I don’t think the President should get involved with stopping the clowns but I do think that responsibility on social media should be addressed at schools. To touch on your point…[Read more]

Abortion is a very important topic and while I respect your opinion, I disagree. I think it is important that we look at the circumstances that would lead a woman to choose to have an abortion. Many pregnancies are terminated because of an inability to fully support that child. The average cost to raise a child to the age of 18 is about $304,480.…[Read more]

First of all according to Politifact your claim about 40% of illegal immigrants coming by plane is inflated by about 10-20%. http://www.politifact.com/punditfact/statements/2015/sep/08/jorge-ramos/ramos-40-undocumented-immigrants-come-air/

Second, I think the important part about having a discussion about something so important is to avoid bias…[Read more]

I completely agree with Annika, what a profound comment. Finesse is important in taking advantage of people and climbing up the corporate ladder. Hopefully I can improve my ability to finesse people so I can become successful.
