Oh, and also, your headline is lame and unattractive.

And just wondering, how did you pass 3rd grade English?

Comment on Teens feelings of infatuation are mistaken as love by Ket

Ket — Fri, 23 Apr 2010 15:47:16 +0000

I agree with your statement that many teenagers don’t feel love, but think they do. In this day and age, the word is thrown around too often, and this practice is frequently endorsed on television and in literature.

However, I don’t believe you can substantiate your claim that teenagers “as a whole are emotionally immature and incapable of feeling emotions complex as true love.” Love is relative, first of all; the definition varies from person to person. Second, plenty (though not the majority) of high school relationships last through marriage. Teens aren’t supposed to be mature enough to handle all complex emotions, but that doesn’t mean every one is inable to understand or feel them.

I think you chose a good topic to address. The problem was your use of generalizations. Otherwise, the article was well-written. Good work.

Comment on Teenagers are never too old to enjoy Trick-or-Treating by Jennifer

I really enjoyed reading this opinion piece. However, I think it’s important to realize that some teenagers will put almost no effort into their costume and go out for the sole purpose of getting as much candy as possible. If someone’s going to go Trick-or-Treating, they need to put at least a little effort into their costume.

I, like Amy and mariah washington over here, agree with your article. I wouldn’t want my six year old brother to view such vulgar scenarios. you have a lot of voice in your writing, i enjoyed reading this.

Comment on Hunting animals for recreation can’t be justified by Anonymous

Anonymous — Fri, 23 Apr 2010 15:41:21 +0000

“Hunting by definition is an animal, human, or a thing that pursues other animals, human or things with the intention to capture and kill.” Are you sure that you don’t mean “A hunter?”

In addition the sentence the “World Wildlife Fund, the Humane Society and other organization make it their mission to educate and protect animals from hunters,” has two issues. Organization should be plural and the wording can mislead a reader to believe that the organization educate animals.

Sometimes hunting is necessary. For example, controlled hunts are necessary to prevent the overpopulation of deer. If there were no controlled hunts, the deer population would likely overpopulate and many deer would die from starvation.

I totally agree with this article. It is very common to see such couples plaguing the hallways of public high schools and it is quite repulsive. I’m glad someone took a step in making it a known issue. Thank you.

There are many gramatical errors in this article, starting from the first sentence…
To me, your arguements are not supported well. After reading this, I could think of many pro-hunting support, even if I am personally not pro-hunting.
You have not done your research.
Here are some points that are not countered in your article:
By the way, hunters are not mass killers, they don’t really finish a hunting trip with mass amounts of meat. My friend is a hunter and the most he comes home with is one deer.
Also, how are going to counter people who think hunting is beneficial because it keeps carrying capacity in check.

I think you should talk to some hunters and find out there point of view, if you want to effectively support it.
This article is weak, both factually and gramatically. It could be a better piece if you had more information/stronger arguments.I don’t get any effect from your piece. It does not hit me in the gut and make me feel bad about hunting. Think logos, ethos, pathos.

Hey,

Yea man! I totally agree with you! I love killing those animals! It makes me feel so good. Don’t you love it? Yea, it totally reduces stress. Forget about squeezing rubber balls, take out a rifle and shoot some deer! Just yesterday, i got an F on my math test. I went home, grabbed my guns and some ammo, and took out a whole family. I forgot all about that F!
