"I do not think that  schools should ban cell phones for many reason. One, what if a student needs to get in contact with their parent. I know that we have email but people check their texts way more often than they check their emails. I think you…"

"I had never heard of show choir before this year. I've never been to a show either but I think it would be interesting to watch. I really don't have an opinion on show choir. I think it would be a fun thing to try out for. I am not a very good…"

"I would not say that I trash talk just because it seems extremely rude. I make comments about the weather if the sport is outside or how the game is going. I do not think that trash talking has a place in sports. I do not think that it is useful,…"

"I do enjoy doing math, I like being able to solve equations and there being a set answer. I would say that it is probably my favorite subject. I would be interested in a job that deals with math often. I think that no matter what job you choose you…"

"I did not knwo the history of the United States army. I think the information was useful and that is why history is so important to learn. Not only for the future but also for now, we can learn from our mistakes to not make them again. I don't know…"

"I am not sure why we do this or how it happens but I think that it is not very nice. Our world has been this way for quite a while and it has been okay. I am not condoning any of it but sometimes people go through hard things and that helps the get…"

"I am not sure if he commited the murders or not. However, it is hard to believe that it would be anyone else, especially with all of the evidence they got from his trial. I have not ever seen any of the O.J. Simpson movies but I would be interested…"

"I do not think that she should have gotten the procedure but I guess it wasn't really her who decided to get the lobotomy. I do not think that it was right that her father made her get the surgery, especially when it did not have much research done…"

"I do not think that Lee Harvey Oswald did this alone. He must have had help in order to the president. Whether that was people give him information or physcially there the day of the assasination. I would have freaked out if someone, especially the…"

"I don't really care whether or not TikTok is banned. I personally don't have it so it wouldn't affect me however I know that it has lots of pros and cons. I think that TikTok is mostly safe but they are taking information from you. This is all to…"

"I do not agree with the death penalty while I do think that they should be severely punished for killing someone. I do not think that we need to take a life for a life. In my opinion, it is up to God when our time comes to leave Earth.  By having…"

"I read the AMBER alerts that come onto my phone, it always makes me sad for the person that it is talking about. I think they are beneficial, it gets so many people involved and lets people pray for the person that is missing. I would call the…"

"I would be very hurt and I would feel disrespected if my family sent me to a mental hospital without me knowing. I think that some of the treatments they use work but it also depends on the willingness of the patient for the treatment to take…"

"I have been to Disney World, I don't remember much from when I went because I was probably 5 years old. I'm guessing that I had fun because it is Disney World; how could you not have fun. My favorite part would probably have to be the characters,…"

"I would be stressed if I had recieved a tootsie roll instead of a bullet. Thinking about the abilities of a bullet versus a tootsie roll it isn't hard to see which one would most likely have more use. I don't think that I could survive on just…"

"I have never visited White Castle, I have heard of it when I was watching the show Impractical Jokers. They will sometimes do jokes in the fast food chain. My favorite fast food place is either Panda Express or Freddy's. Fast food back then would be…"

"I think that it is crazy that this boy was put on the death penalty at the age of 14. He was only 14 years old and later it was found out that he wasn't guilty. I would be scared if I was George Stinney, he ended up dying for nothing. I do not think…"

"I do not think that aliens exist as of right now. We never really know until our space program grows further. If aliens came to Earth I would try to be-friend them as to forma good relationship with them right away. I do not think that the…"

"I do like April fools day it is a fun day where you can prank people. I have done April fools day pranks, I don't remember what they were. I did not know the history of April Fools day until I read it today. The only flaw is everyone knows that it…"

"I have been to Florida before and when I went with my family we went to Disney World. I don't remember much from the trip when we went to Disney World, but on our more recent trip for my grandparent's aniversary I learned that even when it is cloudy…"

"I have never been trapshooting and I'm guessing if I tried I wouldn't do very good. I would want to try trapshooting just because I feel that it could be fun to try a new sport. But like I said I don't think that I would do very good. I didn't know…"

"I am not sure how far both Harlan teams will go this year. I'm hoping both go far this year and think that they both have a chance at it. If I had to play for a team I don't know who I would choose. I don't really watch much soccer, so I don't think…"

"I have attended some college games and they were really fun to watch. The competitiveness of the players especially during professional volleyball games is so great to watch. I think that volleyball will gain more popularity because of this league…"

"I do watch March Madness, but I don't watch college basketball much unless it is March Madness. My favorite team for this year would probably be GCU, that is were my sister goes to school and where I would like to go to school. I have never…"

"I have watched the Oscars once, it was a long time ago and I only watched them because my parents were watching them. I would win for "Most Emotion Movie Watcher." I liked the Barbie movie, I never got around to watching Oppenheimer, however I heard…"

"I have been inpacted by social media, it was in a negative way. I started spending a couple of hours a day on random apps that weren't helping me. So, I deleted the apps that I was spending too much time on. I don't think that social media's pros…"

"I think so many people fail it because of how hard it is on not just your mental health but also your physical health. I would not want to be a Navy Seal, I don't think I could ever pass that week, and I would have to get kicked out. I also wouldn't…"

"I think that minimum wage should not be changed. I get the arguement that inflation has gone up, but if we increase minimum it will just increase inflation as well. I think the rate should stay at $7.25, if you aren't happy making minimum wage, get…"

"I don't mind daylight savings time especially when it stays lighter longer. But in the spring we have the lose an hour and I need that extra hour of sleep. The whole country doesn't change their clocks, there are a couple of states who don't follow…"

"Would you live in the "state of Franklin" if given the chance? No taxes!"

"I think that Franklin could have stayed a state as well. In order to do so they would have had to start following the rules that the states at the time were following. One thing that I think they could have done better was taxing the people that…"

"That is a really good idea. Having people take a vote could get everyone involved when it came to choosing the state's name would help creativity, originality, and more people would like the name because they would have picked it."

"What animal do you think you would name the state after?"

"No on has said an animal, I like that idea though. Even if you believe your name is spelled weird it would be kind of fun to have your name as a state."

"Would you name the state Hoffman(sorry if I spelled it wrong) or Mike?"

"That is a cool way to look at it. That state wouldn't just be representing you, it would be representing your entire family."

"It would be a really big responsibility to name a state. Something that I think shouldn't just be one person's decision. I would also want it to be something meaningful, potentially even something that has some meaning to who I am as a person."

"I agree with you, I would want the name I gave to it to have meaning. I don't know if I would want to name it after me directly, but like Emeri said, maybe some type of "hidden meaning.""

"Do you think that Franklin's lack of an economy was one of the main reasons it was not allowed to become a state?"

"One that I can think of is when we vote for presidents, it would change the electoral college."

"What is one thing you think it could change for our country if it was to remain a state?"

"How do you think the economy of Franklin would have affected it's ability to thrive as a state?"

"Would you have kept Franklin as a state, or maybe change it to more of a town?"

"How could you incorperate a hidden meaning into a state name? I think it would be a cool idea."

"What could be a creative and original name for a new state?"

"Do you think it would be confusing to have a state named something generic?"

"Who would you ask for help from in order to help you name a state?"

"How could Franklin have worked out as a town? That is an interesting point and I like where you were going with it."

"Why do you think it would have been fine to leave Franklin as a state?"

"Do you think that Franklin could have stayed a state even with all of their problems?"
