The majority of people want people to feel cared for and understood these days. https://nowcomment.com/documents/264166?scroll_to=2382139 https://nowcomment.com/documents/264166?scroll_to=2382139 Tue, 16 Mar 2021 11:06:50 -0400 Congressional term limits could reduce corruption. https://nowcomment.com/documents/263432?scroll_to=2375024 https://nowcomment.com/documents/263432?scroll_to=2375024 Thu, 11 Mar 2021 11:05:04 -0500 Term limits are an essential part of our democracy, marking that we are a country free of corruption. https://nowcomment.com/documents/263432?scroll_to=2375023 https://nowcomment.com/documents/263432?scroll_to=2375023 Thu, 11 Mar 2021 11:04:07 -0500 Term limits are celebrated in America, showing the citizenry that even power has a time limit. https://nowcomment.com/documents/263432?scroll_to=2375020 https://nowcomment.com/documents/263432?scroll_to=2375020 Thu, 11 Mar 2021 11:01:36 -0500 The reason that Skloot chooses to keep everything in the present tense for the rest of the book is she feels there is no need to explain anymore of what has happened in the past and that how the family feels about the issue currently is more important. https://nowcomment.com/documents/262545?scroll_to=2375003 https://nowcomment.com/documents/262545?scroll_to=2375003 Thu, 11 Mar 2021 10:54:30 -0500 Sonny and Lawrence felt outcasted and mistreated by the people at the hospital. Davon and Alfred, however, feel like their Great Grandmother Henrietta is famous now and that they should celebrate that. https://nowcomment.com/documents/262545?scroll_to=2375000 https://nowcomment.com/documents/262545?scroll_to=2375000 Thu, 11 Mar 2021 10:51:31 -0500 Deborah explains here that she does not believe that her mother's cells were stolen because she was black. She said that we are all black and white and that there are two sides to the story. https://nowcomment.com/documents/262545?scroll_to=2374989 https://nowcomment.com/documents/262545?scroll_to=2374989 The side she doesn't like is the one where people blame the researchers and want to punish the doctors and slander the hospital.

A 4chan user somehow managed to create a cult of these vulnerable people who want to believe that they are special. It is absolutely mind-boggling. https://nowcomment.com/documents/254753?scroll_to=2348149 https://nowcomment.com/documents/254753?scroll_to=2348149 Tue, 23 Feb 2021 06:01:44 -0500 Shows a lack of trust in western medicine. https://nowcomment.com/documents/258737?scroll_to=2346641 https://nowcomment.com/documents/258737?scroll_to=2346641 Mon, 22 Feb 2021 14:40:51 -0500 This is not an ethical procedure. https://nowcomment.com/documents/254672?scroll_to=2342867 https://nowcomment.com/documents/254672?scroll_to=2342867 Fri, 19 Feb 2021 11:28:00 -0500 This is pretty stellar service. The fact that they did extra to make her happy is good. https://nowcomment.com/documents/254672?scroll_to=2342857 https://nowcomment.com/documents/254672?scroll_to=2342857 Fri, 19 Feb 2021 11:23:33 -0500 This idea of homeopathy has become dangerous across the world. Saying that some plants will help you more than effective western medicine should be a crime. https://nowcomment.com/documents/254753?scroll_to=2316467 https://nowcomment.com/documents/254753?scroll_to=2316467 Fri, 05 Feb 2021 11:30:26 -0500 Establishes credibility through the use of facts and statistics. https://nowcomment.com/documents/253933?scroll_to=2316073 https://nowcomment.com/documents/253933?scroll_to=2316073 Fri, 05 Feb 2021 10:33:22 -0500 Anticipates others' objections. https://nowcomment.com/documents/253933?scroll_to=2316065 https://nowcomment.com/documents/253933?scroll_to=2316065 Fri, 05 Feb 2021 10:31:51 -0500 Proves that the solution works. https://nowcomment.com/documents/253933?scroll_to=2308394 https://nowcomment.com/documents/253933?scroll_to=2308394 Tue, 02 Feb 2021 11:30:17 -0500 The severity of the issue. https://nowcomment.com/documents/253933?scroll_to=2308390 https://nowcomment.com/documents/253933?scroll_to=2308390 Tue, 02 Feb 2021 11:28:47 -0500 Again, explains the severity of the issue. https://nowcomment.com/documents/253933?scroll_to=2308388 https://nowcomment.com/documents/253933?scroll_to=2308388 Tue, 02 Feb 2021 11:28:27 -0500 Introduces you to the problem and convinces you that the problem is serious. https://nowcomment.com/documents/253933?scroll_to=2308356 https://nowcomment.com/documents/253933?scroll_to=2308356 Tue, 02 Feb 2021 11:27:12 -0500 Introduces a solution to the problem. https://nowcomment.com/documents/253933?scroll_to=2308335 https://nowcomment.com/documents/253933?scroll_to=2308335 Tue, 02 Feb 2021 11:25:23 -0500 The use of the word "we" signals that all of us, including him, are a part of today's America. https://nowcomment.com/documents/250955?scroll_to=2294844 https://nowcomment.com/documents/250955?scroll_to=2294844 Wed, 27 Jan 2021 01:55:57 -0500 He says "sworn before you" to signal to the audience (the American people) that he is there for them and that is clearly shown in the rest of the speech. https://nowcomment.com/documents/250955?scroll_to=2294842 https://nowcomment.com/documents/250955?scroll_to=2294842 Wed, 27 Jan 2021 01:51:32 -0500 Small diss to Trump due to his very well known characteristic of bending the truth. https://nowcomment.com/documents/250437?scroll_to=2292542 https://nowcomment.com/documents/250437?scroll_to=2292542 Tue, 26 Jan 2021 10:45:58 -0500 This is what we all need most right now. Unity. I would say that 40% of the country doesn't care for unity and only wants war, but it's still a good sentiment to hold. https://nowcomment.com/documents/250437?scroll_to=2292515 https://nowcomment.com/documents/250437?scroll_to=2292515 Tue, 26 Jan 2021 10:34:23 -0500 This is another reference to the capitol rioters that tried to end democracy. The reference is not subtle, but it is also not outright, which is professional of him to do. https://nowcomment.com/documents/250437?scroll_to=2292492 https://nowcomment.com/documents/250437?scroll_to=2292492 Tue, 26 Jan 2021 10:32:23 -0500 This is meant to instill that despite what some people may try to do to destroy our democracy *cough cough* capitol rioters *cough cough* we still have a democracy that works and will continue to work under Biden. https://nowcomment.com/documents/250437?scroll_to=2292480 https://nowcomment.com/documents/250437?scroll_to=2292480 Tue, 26 Jan 2021 10:28:39 -0500 This sentence is meant to inspire unity amongst all Americans, not just the ones that voted for Biden. A good fresh start, at least in comparison to the last administration. https://nowcomment.com/documents/250437?scroll_to=2292464 https://nowcomment.com/documents/250437?scroll_to=2292464 Tue, 26 Jan 2021 10:26:41 -0500 Evidence to support the central claim. https://nowcomment.com/documents/248273?scroll_to=2265966 https://nowcomment.com/documents/248273?scroll_to=2265966 Fri, 08 Jan 2021 11:24:41 -0500 Evidence to support the central claim. https://nowcomment.com/documents/248273?scroll_to=2265960 https://nowcomment.com/documents/248273?scroll_to=2265960 Fri, 08 Jan 2021 11:23:41 -0500 Evidence to back up central claim https://nowcomment.com/documents/248273?scroll_to=2265948 https://nowcomment.com/documents/248273?scroll_to=2265948 Fri, 08 Jan 2021 11:22:08 -0500 This is the central claim of the review. https://nowcomment.com/documents/248273?scroll_to=2265944 https://nowcomment.com/documents/248273?scroll_to=2265944 Fri, 08 Jan 2021 11:20:30 -0500 Yeah, the beginning of the pandemic was surreal. The world was empty for a second, yet the earth finally had a chance to breathe. https://nowcomment.com/documents/246060?scroll_to=2258021 https://nowcomment.com/documents/246060?scroll_to=2258021 Tue, 05 Jan 2021 10:59:28 -0500 These are HUGE. Man that is scary. https://nowcomment.com/documents/246060?scroll_to=2258017 https://nowcomment.com/documents/246060?scroll_to=2258017 Tue, 05 Jan 2021 10:57:41 -0500 That was hilarious. I have no idea why she did that on national television, but it was funny. https://nowcomment.com/documents/246060?scroll_to=2258011 https://nowcomment.com/documents/246060?scroll_to=2258011 Sat, 09 Jan 2021 00:00:22 -0500 I genuinely thought this was the saddest thing that could have happened all year. What a fool I was for not realizing sooner. https://nowcomment.com/documents/246060?scroll_to=2258003 https://nowcomment.com/documents/246060?scroll_to=2258003 Tue, 05 Jan 2021 10:52:55 -0500 Yang should have won the election. How the media treated him still doesn't sit right with me. https://nowcomment.com/documents/246060?scroll_to=2257995 https://nowcomment.com/documents/246060?scroll_to=2257995 Fri, 08 Jan 2021 13:27:36 -0500 The previous president cheated and lied his way through life, yet he continued to have the audacity to say he deserved all of the praise. Despicable. https://nowcomment.com/documents/246060?scroll_to=2257991 https://nowcomment.com/documents/246060?scroll_to=2257991 Tue, 05 Jan 2021 10:50:18 -0500 Good riddance. https://nowcomment.com/documents/246060?scroll_to=2257920 https://nowcomment.com/documents/246060?scroll_to=2257920 Tue, 05 Jan 2021 10:43:44 -0500 This sentence has a bit of a curious tone based on words and phrases that were used such as "I did not know what I could do," "wanted to see what was happening," etc. https://nowcomment.com/documents/243929?scroll_to=2220583 https://nowcomment.com/documents/243929?scroll_to=2220583 Tue, 01 Dec 2020 11:18:47 -0500 This sentence has an overall negative tone due to words and phrases that are used by the author such as "stinking cages," "cowed faces," "scarred buttocks," "oppressed," "guilt," etc. https://nowcomment.com/documents/243929?scroll_to=2220574 https://nowcomment.com/documents/243929?scroll_to=2220574 Tue, 01 Dec 2020 11:16:35 -0500 This is ironic because he knows if he quit his job it would be for the better but he continues to do it anyway. https://nowcomment.com/documents/243929?scroll_to=2220357 https://nowcomment.com/documents/243929?scroll_to=2220357 Tue, 01 Dec 2020 11:07:45 -0500 This is ironic because Buddhist priests are supposed to be for peace and tranquility but instead, they jeer at Europeans the most. https://nowcomment.com/documents/243929?scroll_to=2220344 https://nowcomment.com/documents/243929?scroll_to=2220344 Tue, 01 Dec 2020 11:05:35 -0500 This is an example of irony because Orwell is explaining that no one would ever raise a riot, but they would assault a woman for being European. https://nowcomment.com/documents/243929?scroll_to=2220315 https://nowcomment.com/documents/243929?scroll_to=2220315 Tue, 01 Dec 2020 11:03:26 -0500 Orwell is explaining here how regimes/parties/states may get rid of words so that people will not know how to express their feelings. https://nowcomment.com/documents/243212?scroll_to=2213022 https://nowcomment.com/documents/243212?scroll_to=2213022 Orwell is explaining here how regimes/parties/states may get rid of words so that people will not know how to express their feelings. They replace words that mean bad things with words that mean good things which makes it easier for the regime/party/state to control its people. If no one knows how to say the words to spark a rebellion, how will they rebel at all? Tue, 24 Nov 2020 14:20:36 -0500 How exactly can most of these points be proven about ALL drugs? https://nowcomment.com/documents/236892?scroll_to=2146800 https://nowcomment.com/documents/236892?scroll_to=2146800 How exactly can most of these points be proven about ALL drugs? I am not sure how smoking a doobie every once and a while could ruin a family. Many drugs are very helpful. Obviously, there are many drugs that are very harmful, but the blanket statements do not help her point, as it is not correct for all drugs. Tue, 20 Oct 2020 02:07:00 -0400 The article used said MIGHT. You cannot use unproven information in your article, especially if you think it will actually help prove your point. https://nowcomment.com/documents/236892?scroll_to=2146799 https://nowcomment.com/documents/236892?scroll_to=2146799 Tue, 20 Oct 2020 02:02:12 -0400 While I do agree that cocaine is horrible, this is just one case and it really is more about Lenny's own bad decisions. Even cocaine could be used responsibly, at least in comparison to how he was using it. https://nowcomment.com/documents/236892?scroll_to=2146784 https://nowcomment.com/documents/236892?scroll_to=2146784 Tue, 20 Oct 2020 01:59:59 -0400 This is absolutely correct. No other generation is as mentally ill as our generation, and I fear it will get worse with each generation after us. https://nowcomment.com/documents/235254?scroll_to=2135787 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235254?scroll_to=2135787 Thu, 15 Oct 2020 02:24:16 -0400 I'm confused by this person's logic. Who in their right minds wouldn't want a license? Who doesn't want to be able to go places on their own? This makes zero sense to me. https://nowcomment.com/documents/235254?scroll_to=2132455 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235254?scroll_to=2132455 Tue, 13 Oct 2020 22:49:37 -0400 This is just an unnecessary jab at teenage vernacular. https://nowcomment.com/documents/235254?scroll_to=2131036 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235254?scroll_to=2131036 Tue, 13 Oct 2020 14:43:54 -0400 I mean that is a positive, however, I think I would rather have higher teen birth rates over higher teen suicide rates. https://nowcomment.com/documents/235254?scroll_to=2131031 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235254?scroll_to=2131031 Tue, 13 Oct 2020 11:14:10 -0400 I think this is more due to a lack of knowing how to talk to people, not necessarily a lack of wanting to, though. I am certain that almost all teenagers want to have sex, there just are not as many teens who have the courage to put themselves out there. https://nowcomment.com/documents/235254?scroll_to=2131027 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235254?scroll_to=2131027 Tue, 13 Oct 2020 14:44:30 -0400
