Jlentz's Waterfall
Computers help us in so many ways today. I highly doubt anyone can despute about this. Finding information, playing games, to see what the wheater is like, or who one the Super Bowl. So this is only one fraction of what is in store for America.
That map project was fun. For Westward Migration, we colored a map. The fun part was that we got to tear the map apart.
To be honest I don't know, but for whatever the reasoning- probably got made at someone for killing one of their allies.
The real sucky part of entering the panama canal was how big the ships had to be. Come all the way to this canal, and you find out your ship is to big, ouch! There goes your raise for your job in the bottom of the sea.
We would not take it slowly for many reasons. The biggest one being that a more dominant country or nation, would come and take it over. Yes people lied about having a better future if you move west, but it was the right call. If we moved west later on, we would probably see France, Germans, who's knows who, and that would start another epic war that would affect america greatly.
I agree. Just look at the Iraq war alone.

Current Events is fun, especially for extra points! You get to learn lots of things, some of which cannot be explained on here. But an example was that orangutan that stop smoking after so many years. That's why computers help, to find information faster, to express yourself clearly, and simply its the way of the future.
What do you mean we? Did we actually get involved into this or was it the army? You see when the very first settlers came they were not imperalistic. They tried to escape there hard life of where they used to live. We treated the indians fairly and they treated us, in return, fairley. So actually no, our army was not imperalistic, UNTIL we started to get into the progressive era.
The Lewis and Clark Expedition, or "Corps of Discovery Expedition" (1804–1806) was the first transcontinental expedition to the Pacific Coast by the United States. Commissioned by President Thomas Jefferson and led by two Virginia-born veterans of Indian wars in the Ohio Valley, Meriwether Lewis and William Clark, the expedition had several goals. Their objects were both scientific and commercial – to study the area's plants, animal life, and geography, and to discover how the region could be exploited economically.

Yes you are right, but yet wrong friend. If it wasn't for the certain, key wars, we wouldn't be here today with this advanced technology. Those wars that we lost, helped us to strenghten our armies and citizens to become more involved in the wars, to defend our country. So yes, stupid but also smart ideas they did.
Thank you! Lots of people got tricked as well to. I mean, look at all those signs that told future lies down the trial, to be exact- the Oregon Trail. People died in the desert from heat and really cold temperatures at night. That had to suck for them.
I don't know where this statement lyes, but TAX THE MILLIONARES! It's not that hard, they barely pay taxes and its hard enough paying taxes pretty much to them. Who gave them responsibility. If we collect the taxes from the billionares, that would probably be close to the U.S deficet. Why should we be aiding them, people are homeless because of them. Seriously!
Dude, I totally agree with that statement. Jon Bon Jovi Rocks! We all want to change so fast, but were still in this same era. You know people these days are building flying cars, ipods, 3D-Plasm Screen TV's, etc. But, we aren't losing key traditions, and knocking down old buildings to put really shnazy complexes up. We are actually moving backwards. People are now homeless on the streets, making less money, lossing jobs, moving, can't afford special needs for themselves, and gifts for parties. So even though people say and know we all are making progresses to move forward, we are still falling behind the 8 ball.
I feel that we also, as a working mother, need to moe forward. We can't just stay in the past. I can just see the bright and hopefull future for us. Better equipment, working wages, homes, communication, transportation, you name it. The end of this broken road will one day be rebuild and restored. But there will still be conflict within our exsistance. We have to look for better alternitives and see the otherside of the world. If not, its ok. We all have to die at some point. I also will say that we have made it far enough to make a living and go against the odds of the business owners. We try, and yet fail each and everyday. Most days though, we fight for our lives. If we didn't fight for ourselves in this life, then why are we still here? People, we have to look into our faith, hopes, dreams, and lives. Take away the bad and conclude the good we all have done. Let's help each other so we can be a better world.
NO,NO, NO,NO, AND NO! WHY THE PINKERTONS! That's like saying that the U.S. NAVY men are going to stand their in the crowd, and tell us what to do and how to live. The are not God, and Moses for pete's sake. We have voices, rights, and thoughts. If the business men think they're going to win, they won't win without a fight from us! I am a working mother of 12 may I remind you.
This is like sending U.S. Navy men into a crowd to stand their and tell us what we can and can't do. It's worthless. Shouldn't those pinkertons be on our side? They would probably say no anyway so they can make the big $$$$$. We as workers, have rights. It's our decision to decide if we want to complain or not about unfair wages and work hours. It will be a raid if business men stand in all our way and keep telling us no. We aren't going to stop at a no. We will do as we ask or please the government and our bosses to do. We have voices that need to be heard and answered. Like I said before, I have 12 children.
No they shouldn't work for more hours. They can get hurt easily. Where are you when someone gets hurt on the job? If you have enough money, gal darn it, then pay of the machines to be better and safer. What do all of you business men do? Make up lies, and sit drinking 12 cups of coffee a day! I'm a working mother of 12. Hand over those 12 cups of coffee you probably drink a day so I can give to my children. I have rights too!
Well where's the money we workers deserved and worked for our whole lives? Did you give us any raises at all? Yes, they can provide more money for the family to use, but did you ever think about giving us adults a raise? If you would done this then the children wouldn't have to go through this until they are old enough to understand this concept.
This is a very tuff decision for me and my family. You know, between letting our kids work these extreme conditions or not. I mean they can get hurt or even get killed while on the job, but on the otherside it provides our family with more money income. I guess I'm so confussed still to this day that our bosses couldn't have paid us more fairly. If they've only done this my decision would not to pass this law.
For sure! Pay us workers the money we work for and hereby deserve. We hear kids now a days, getting broken feet, toes, fingers, etc. If you can't do this, at least make the poor little children's hours minimal and make the machines safer. That's at least what you BUSINESS MEN can do!
Why should you care about $1. Where is it going towards? Hopefully you have a good reasoning for it. I am a women worker by the way. For us workers, a dollar means a lot more than no dollars. We are not asking for a $20 donation, although it would help us greatly. I mean you say you need to be making more money when you already have by the millions and billions. Where is that money goning to go when you die? Are you going to take it with? Then that dollar shouldn't matter to you then.
Who every said you would be paying us $6.50? How about $3.50? I would still say no. Yes, your still risking the chance of not having any jobs, but common! $7.25 doesn't seem reasonable to you sir? It's a dollar more than $6.50. I'm sure that one dollar bill isn't going to use in your wallet. Ooo, that's right, you would have an excuse saying that the one dollar is going towards your favorite candy bar. Well, that just seems stupid. Think about it for a moment. If the majority wants $7.25 an hour, then you don't have to listen to us workers complain. How do you like that!
Business men act like they own the entire country. Who were you when you first moved to America? A poor person or rich? I think you should have some sharing and caring time with your workers. There probably all poor in your business and you get credited with everything they do for you. You would pay your workers less, and you know it! Don't you dare make up lies that end up as a bloody result. All I can state know is that $7.25 seems more logical than being paid less.
I would take that and add to my penny jar, thank you very much! More money being made than it was back then. I could save that profit in my money jar, and by the end of the month, I could easily have over $100. Why risk this oportunity? Business men can always lower wages especially $7.25. Most people would say they have a chance to make over the minimum wage if they are good enough workers, which I understand. At the same time though, people try to do they best they can, and what do they get in return? Less than the minimum wage. I am a good women worker, and let me say that I've been trying to work my way up the latter on every job. I never got paid that at any of those jobs. So yes, I am for this minimum wage.
YEAH, why should you business men do whatever your little heart desires and still we can't do a thing about it. I mean family is your whole life, work and getting paid helps your family in sucky conditions, provides food, getting new clothes, etc. Does a strike have any meaning to you wealthy business men or if you laid enough people off? Once they happen, your screwed. You will not have your business running, and you, (unfortunately) will lose your profits.
I hope that your employers will leave slowly. Poor people getting worked to death for 20 more hours in a week than we could ever imagine. The American dream can't help if you don't give them anything at all money wise. Share the money so we ALL get a chance to live the American dream! And if you don't agree, then your fellow workers will go on strike and still be protected by the Union.
As a women worker, I would agree. I mean, women like me can't always work 60 hours a week, and yet we still try to see our family. People think we make lots of money according to some headlines, when we really get paid a cent or less during an hours worth. Us women, are getting very upset by those business men, telling us to do this and that. I mean we ask them for better working conditions and a better money income. Even though we are getting really nothing money wise, I will work hard for 40 hours rather than getting beat up for 60 hours. There making by the billions for pete's sake! We are trying to all live and overcome this American dream. I ain't working for 60 hours or more! I have rights too! You can join us and the Union to protect workers from harm of business men, or you can go against us and be enemies. Choose wisely!
