"Just going to throw it out there that I wouldn't necessarily combine the South with hunting. Animal heads have been used as decoration for as long as I can remember. They don't ever really bother me. I don't automatically assume they…"

Jessi Jorgensen commented on Kayla Rae's group Heard Any Good Music Lately?"I've kind of took a sudden turn in music genre lately because i'm honesty open to anything and i've been listening to a lot of Breaking Benjamin and Of Mice and Men. They're both rock/metal and I love both these bands because…"
Jessi Jorgensen commented on Gary Anderson's group Seen a Good Movie Lately?"I just saw Water For Elephants as well and it is actually now my favorite movie. It was amazing! It had the perfect amount of every element: Romance, comedy, drama, and thrill. I want to read the book now because of it!"
Jessi Jorgensen commented on Deena Bishop's blog post House Chores After Work = Bad For Your Health?!"I agree with Duncan, it's difficult to accurately measure what a "stressful" day is and when you need to really relax and when you are ok to do chores. I honestly feel more compelled to do chores when i'm pissed or stressed to…"
Jessi Jorgensen commented on Lauren Andersen's blog post Year-Round School: the modern school of today"I feel like if we had year round schooling It would feel like we were having constant school, even with little breaks. I like our current way of schooling because even though we have a lot of school and not many breaks during the year, we get to…"
Jessi Jorgensen commented on Abby Muller's blog post Just Me"To me, what defines a person is the way they can hold themselves in public. Personality is the most vivid part of a person and before looks and and how they dress (all the superficial stuff) I always see personality. Are they approachable? Self…"
Jessi Jorgensen commented on Justin Park's blog post Commercials.. You love them or you hate them."I find most commercials to be extremely boring, but they have seemed to get better as society keeps changing. The older commercials on TV are pretty much strictly educational and informational but they seem to be getting funnier and more trying to…"
Jessi Jorgensen commented on Megan Teschner's blog post What's the point of summer reading??"I feel like summer reading isn't as terrible as everyone makes it out to be. I honestly don't worry about the book till like the last month of summer anyways, so it's not like its destroying my summer. With that being said though, I…"
Jessi Jorgensen commented on Michael Weber's blog post Should Finals be Important?"I really feel like teachers put way too much pressure on us when it comes to finals. They are a major part of our grade and I feel like that's very far fetched. By the end of the year, all we want is summer and the last thing we want to do is…"
Jessi Jorgensen commented on Carly Mckay's blog post Hello, Youtube! Welcome to Fremd."I feel like, if used correctly, youtube can be very educational. I've used youtube to help me with things like math or even how to apply makeup. Tutorials, clips of movies and other things related to topics from class really help to explain…"
Jessi Jorgensen commented on Connor Bieda's blog post College..Ready or Not?"I think everyone is a bit worried about college just because deciding on a major can sometimes get a little confusing, but I personally know exactly what I want to do with my life so I just really want to graduate and get into the college life."
Jessi Jorgensen commented on Ashlyn Jensen's blog post The Terminator Terminates His Marriage and Possibly Career???"Ash, I totally agree with you when you said it should surely make people doubt him as a government official. When we hear about celebrities having affairs, it's just stupid gossip that we pretend to care about that is just something to talk…"
Ben Luke commented on Jessi Jorgensen's blog post Restaurants: for food or trophies?"I don't think the animal heads are really a problem. The restaurant style is Southern so of course they are going to try and appeal to Southern-like people. I'm all for animal rights, but a trophy to a hunter is priceless. Its a power over…"
Jessi Jorgensen posted a blog postRestaurants: for food or trophies?
Today, I went to a restaurant called Texas Roadhouse when I visited my grandma in Wisconsin. I was a bit skeptical when my dad told me that it was southern based food, but I tried to go there with an open mind. When I walked in the doors the first thing that greeted me wasn't a host or a hostess, but a giant moose head. Not only that, but covering every wall was at least one stuffed head of animals like deer, buffalo, ram and gazelles. I came in hungry but, after walking in, I completely lost…See More
Aricela Marquez commented on Jessi Jorgensen's blog post Animal Testing: Fair or unfair?"I hate to admit it, but us humans are selfish creatures. We will use others to protect our own. As much as I don't like the thought of animal testing, I wouldn't want to test what may not be safe on me. I think animal testing is the…"
Keely Ward commented on Jessi Jorgensen's blog post Animal Testing: Fair or unfair?"I think animal testing is wrong. If it was the only way to test a lot of products I might think differently, but with all those alternatives there is no need for it. Shopping for things that are not tested on animals is hard, but when I do find…"
Kristina Lopez commented on Jessi Jorgensen's blog post Animal Testing: Fair or unfair?"Animal testing is wrong, and I refuse to buy any product that is tested on animals. There is no reason why we need to kill so many animals. A lot of people don't realize that different medicine or cosmetic products can affect the…"
Alanna Krivanek commented on Jessi Jorgensen's blog post Animal Testing: Fair or unfair?"I agree with you, I hate the idea of animal testing. And it doesnt really make much sense because like the video said "mice are not men" which means they react differently than we would. But as bad as it is, like everyone else said,…"
JohnPaulus V Arcangel commented on Jessi Jorgensen's blog post Animal Testing: Fair or unfair?"It's the only practical choice out there right now. Human testing, even though its much more accurate, is far worse than animal testing tho, so I guess its fine. And its animal testing, not animal torture, usually the people doing this stay…"
Ben Perkins commented on Jessi Jorgensen's blog post Musical Talent Circles the Drain"Truthfully it all depends on the lyrics, if a singer can change his or her voice with an autotune or something else, but they have good, deep lyrics... then they have respect in my mind. If it is someone just screaming "Party in the club with…"

Animal Testing: Fair or unfair?
More than 100 million animals every year suffer and die in cruel chemical, drug, food and cosmetic tests, biology lessons, medical training exercises, and curiosity-driven medical experiments.
There are many pros and cons to animal testing but I personally think there are far more cons to it. The major pro for animal testing is that it aids researchers in finding drugs and treatments to improve health and medicine including cancer and HIV drugs, insulin, vaccines and many more.…

Killing Off Our Wildlife: Anti Hunting
Originating all the way back to caveman times, hunting was a skill used to capture wildlife that was not domesticated and was used for practical purposes like food and clothing for warmth. Today,…

Musical Talent Circles the Drain
50 years ago, to become a famous singer you had to be able to carry a tune, perform without technology assisting you, and have a recording sound just as good live. Today, thats not the case. With the modern music of the 2000's, you don't need a bit of talent to become famous. A couple examples of that would be Miley Cyrus, Britney Spears, Taylor Swift, Jennifer Lopez and Ke$ha. Now, everyone has the right to their own personal opinion. But being… Continue

What's up fellow ningers?! :D Happy New Year! Somehow I ended up on the Ning this morning. Don't know if Mr.Anderson and Mr.McCusker remember our American Studies class from 09-10. Great times. It doesn't seem like this Ning has continued on over the years. What happened?See More

Adam Babcock left a comment for Bridget Babcock"There are many options out there, but to standardize is to tell a lot of teachers to learn something new or unfamiliar... it's a tricky subject. That's why I'd love to start my own school, powered by Edmodo, Ning, etc :)"

Justyna Chlopecka posted a blog post9/11 Skylines and Turnstiles
I'm not usually someone who writes a lot , not publicly anyway but I do love to express my self through art, usually visual art but most of the time the art I make is influenced by something . In this case it's a song a written by one of my favorite musicians as a response to the feeling of horror and disbelief as he watched the Twin Towers in New York go from icons to ruins on 9/11/01. The song is sad,…See More
