Editorial Response 4/23

Jazmine Gaona

I am opposing Alex Orchards editorial on the subject of abortion. I disagree with his editorial. Murdering is wrong, but it is the woman’s decision to have a child or not. Is rape love? The answer is no, but thousands are raped every year in the United States and are impregnated. Alex preached “This issue all boils down to what it says in the Bible. God states in the Bible, “A child is conceived in the womb”.” Many woman do not fallow the bible, although I’, catholic and believe in Jesus and bible, many woman do not fallow the belief of Jesus. So then the question arises, is it right to not allow someone to do an act because a religion they do not fallow says it “wrong” or “murder”? I feel the woman who has to carry the baby and birth it should have the right to say if it’s a good decision or not. If a woman who is unstable, either with some kind of drug or alcohol problem, or even just poor, I don’t feel it would be appropriate for that woman to have a child and raise it in a bad environment. Adoption may be a possibility, but what would happen if all woman who’ve had an abortion gave up the child for adoption instead? The children that are out to be adopted would be a huge population and cause a problem. If a woman would was to choose to give up her baby, because she feels it wouldn’t be a good idea, or the child wouldn’t have the life a child deserves, no one has the right to tell her she is wrong for her decision about her life and her body! Alex Orchard stated “like I said, I pity the woman who goes through with this process, known as murder.”. Well I pity the woman who are raped and forced to raise a child that is half unknown, and wasn’t made out of love.

Final Copy Editorial

Wal-Mart is a wonderful store. The store carries nearly everything, from baby diapers to Cool Whip. In the Super Wal-Marts, you can get all types of clothing and CD’s and even cowboy boots.  The atmosphere is very friendly when within the store, all the costumers seem to know each other and all the workers seem eager to interact with the costumers. Wal-Mart is a worldwide store, and loved by nearly everyone. Even many teenagers find it to be such a fun store, to even hangout in. Wal-Mart contains many colorful objects as well, that may not be fun for the blind, but for the seeing it’s astonishing.  Wal-Mart also contains wondrous makeup isles. All the makeup are low cost. To make Wal-Mart even better, they have an extraordinary toy section. You can find GI Joes, Barbie’s, Dora the Explorers and even Pikachu’s with cute yellow bodies. In the fruit section it’s amazingly fun, one corner you’ll see an orange, and the next, maybe a pineapple or a grape.

Many people are automatically attracted to the snack food isle. The isle has every good selection. Personally I like to grab a bag of Ranch Doritos’s and Spinach Dip. Many obese Wal-Mart shoppers prefer to view the candy isle. In the candy isle people can find hundreds of brands of candy to gorge on. When I enter the candy isle I like to buy Sour Patch kids and Sour Skittles, two for $2.

Nearly all objects in Wal-Mart are easily affordable, compared to Albertsons, Radio Shack, Walgreen’s, and K Mart; Wal-Mart has the all around lowest prices available to the public. Millions of people per year visit Wal-Mart for all types of reasons, to buy gifts, to buy food, or new clothing for the upcoming season. Wal-Mart is the store with unlimited options. Although, a car and a casket cannot be obtained, nearly everything else is!

Some Wal-Mart’s are taking over the country, with their super low prices and endless options, many businesses are closing down because the competition in nearly impossible.  I go to Wal-Mart nearly, two or three times a week. Many times I don’t even  go because I need to buy anything. When at Wal-Mart your bound to see many people you know, or have met in the past.

Terrorism, kidnapping among top fears for today's youth
http://www.cnn.com/2009/HEALTH/04/16/children.fears/index.html

Studies show that terrorism is the top fear of most teens, followed by gang attacks and weather conditions. “A study on more than 1,000 children and adolescents in grades 2 through 12 found that some of the 20 most common fears include "terrorist attacks," "having to fight in a war," "drive-by shootings," "tornadoes/hurricanes" and "drowning/swimming in deep water," based on self-reports of how scary each of 98 events or concepts seems.” The local news is suspected on making the children fear the things they do.

Library finds urine saturating 41 bookshttp://www.fox10tv.com/dpp/news/LibraryFindsUrineSaturating41Books
Disgusting is the best way to describe what library workers found on Wednesday. "This is a filthy and despicable act of vandalism," said Mayor Jamie Tillery. There were 41 books covered in urine. Many of the workers tried attempting to make the problem better, and cleaning the books, but the books were all ruined. The library is working to upgrade its security system, so incidents like this will be caught on video.

Editorial Thing

Jazmine Gaona
Essay where I can ‘bitch’

School is a place for learning, growing, and figuring out ones future. The School (Tongue River High School) has hundreds of rules. I have a problem with a plethora of rules that are school enforces. Mr. White has gone like power Nazi, and won’t allow the students and some teachers like anything because the school is new.
One rule that I find utterly ridiculous is the cell phone rule. I find it bullshit that a person can’t use technology in class. If I choose to use my cell phone during class, being fully aware that it may possibly affect my grade and possibly my future I think I should be allowed to. Teachers think they have the right to tell me what to do when it comes to my own personal objects. I feel that if I want to text and talk to people during school then I should be able to do what I want. And if it affects my learning, then it’s obviously my problem. Cell phones shouldn’t be denied from students, its there personal object and many people have other uses for it then just texting, like helping them keep track of things and reminding them of tasks that need to be completed.
Another rule I have a problem with is the ‘no drinks in school rule’! During class many student get extremely thirsty, and are denied water. Students and even teachers aren’t even allowed to carry a water bottle with a screwed on lid, because there’s a possibility that it could spill. I think this rule is ridiculous because water doesn’t stain anything, and human beings need water to survive. I have found myself becoming dehydrated because I don’t like drinking from water fountains so I don’t drink anything for 8 hours of the day. I get really thirsty, then I get really pissed off, and no one wants that.
