I don't think this is right at all in my perspective. I don't think in anyway that playing a game for hours at a time makes you smarter. If anything i think that it would probably make you dumber if you are like Bobby and play games instead of coming to school and doing your homework. If i were a parent I wouldn't let my kids sit around and play games all the time I think kids should be outside doing something physical. I believe that this games make you very lazy and this makes kids pay more attention to the stupid games rather than paying attention to important stuff.

2-28-12

I believe that yes people's facebook profiles do relate to how they act and what kind of person he or she is. People need to understand that the stuff that they put on the internet relates to what kind of person they are. When people are looking at people and debating on giving them a job they look at all that stuff. People don't think that thing's that they put on the internet can relate to other thing's in there life but it really does. Hopefully people start realizing this so that it isn't held against them.

2-27-12

I think this is very wrong I don't think they should be able to tell the man what he can say on his facebook page. If that's the case then there would be a bunch of people getting in trouble because there are people always talking about each other on facebook. I mean I could understand if he was saying he was going to do something to her on facebook but since he was just saying something to her. I don't get why people are doing this crap over something that is done on the Internet.

2-24-12

I think this would be very imbarrasing. I don't get why you constantly need to be texting while you are doing a broadcast. You would think that if you were broadcasting something you wouldn't have time to stand and text and then fall this would just be awful. Hopefully she didn't really get hurt but I think that this is just very stupid.

2-23-12

This seems like a very good idea to me. I think parents are allowing to many young children to lay in the tanning bed. There are so many people that have skin cancer and are regretting laying in the tanning bed and then you still have people that lay in it everyday and some even lay more than once a day. I think that you should have to be 18 to lay in the tanning bed because then you are considered a adult and it's your choice if you want to take the chance getting skin cancer then that is your doings and up to you. Although, being me I don't lay in the tanning bed very often at all because I don't want to get cancer and then have to worry about doing the treatments for that.

2-22-12

I don't think that it is right that this guy lied and said that he got a military medal when he didn't. I mean the military is a big deal why would you lie and say that you got a medal from the military when you didn't. I understand that he wanted to take the recognition for something but I don't get why you would lie about this and then get caught and get arrested and put in jail. If you want to take the recognition for doing something then you have to do it you can't let someone else do it and then get credit for it.

2-22-12 Voter ID laws are growing

Making voters show their ID seems like a good idea to me. I think that you need to do that to be sure that the person that is on the ID is the person that is voting. They should always be sure that there ID matches their voting card. This would help be sure that they are aren't voting for someone else. I always have thought that you had to show your ID I didn't know that you could just go in and vote I always thought you ahd to have your ID.

2-21-12

I think that all this is stupid especially since the lady did try paying for the pumpkin for heaven sakes it was only a $2.00 pumpkin. I mean i could understand if the lady didn't try paying for the pumpkin and they went after her and made her pay for the pumpkin. What i don't understand is this lady spent $75.00 at this place and accidentally took a $2.00 pumpkin, they should just let her pay for it and let this be over. I think this was a waste of money and is very stupid for them to try and get her in alot of trouble about.

2-17-12

This is an awful situation. I wouldn't want to ever put the blame on anyone for this. I understand that the parents really didn't have the money to take the kid to a doctor. But you find the money when it comes to your kid no matter what you have to do. If you have to borrow money from someone that you know or do dinners and stuff to raise money to get the kid checked out, that's what you do. Although, I don't really understand why they put the parents in jail for neglecting their child it's not like they had the money and didn't do it, they didn't. But i agree that they should have tried to do something about the situation.

2-16-12

Yes, this is a very good idea. I have had an incident where i was ordering something online and it was from a different country and i didn't even know and they tried to access my moms credit card like 4 or 5 different time in just one day. If they stopped the business from doing that this would help more business out around here. Especially sense you can't tell if it is a foreign country or something. I believe if they don't do away with these programs then they should have to put where they are from on the homepage so that you know exactly where your order is coming from.

2-15-12 Online Firestorm

Im very glad that they are postponing this because there were more people that didn't like it than people that actually did like it. I don't think that they should be able to do this. I think that the parents of the children that they don't want to look at this stuff , they need to keep an eye on there kids and make sure that they aren't looking at stuff that you don't want them to. Hopefully they get through this without this bill passing because I think that this would just cause bigger problems for the people generating the program.

2-14-12 Google

I don't think that it is a very good idea for google to do this. Once again they are trying to get into our privacy which I think is very wrong. I believe that it would be stupid to keep all that information and go back and look at it because look at all the people that go to google and just type in a bunch of stupid stuff. They should be able to keep some stuff for a little while but i don't think that they should keep all that information for awhile. I mean sometimes you have to be able to get to the information so i could see if they would keep it for maybe up to three weeks.

2-10-12 Voting on Bills

Daniel Martin, Bobby Kelly, and Justin Thorne- I think that this would be a very good idea because if you got apples instead of getting french fries that is a lot  more healthier than eating french fries. I believe that this bill should pass.

Lee Carpenter, Travis Kisner, and Benny Haddix- This would be a very good idea because you would save yourself from so many different calories. Eventually, you would get use to eating foods that are actually good for you and you would want that kind of food now.

Raven Haddix, Chelsea Swiger, and Antonio Dalton- This would be good because then you wouldn't have people eating out all the time and it would even save you money on food. It would be alot easier for people to decide what they were going to eat for dinner. I think that Sunday would be a good day to close a fast food restaurant because that would keep the families together and they could talk about everything that you were backed up on.

Ezik Norris and Justin Phillips- Yes, this would a be a great idea because you would have more of a healthy choice to pick from other than only picking from items that are bad for you. I think that if you had this bill pass and everyone around starting doing something like this than it would help because everyone would start getting use to things like this and it would help people with dieting.

Amanda Metheney and Shannon Farley- I think that this would be a good idea i just think that you would have trouble trying to get used to trying to make every American eat healthy. I think that if you could get people used to doing this then it would work but if you didn't it wouldn't work out.

2-10-12 Ohio Man Cleaning Gun Killed Amish Girl

I don't believe that there is any possible way that this man could have did this on purpose. I mean the girl was aa mile and a half away there is no way he could have aimed at her and shot her on purpose. It seems like to me when the guy accidentally shot the gun in the air and when the bullet came back down I think that it must have just hit her in the head then. There is no possible way that he could have did this on purpose. I believe that since you have the right to have guns than there should be no problem with this. I just can't figure out how this could have been done on purpose.

2-9-12 Police Video

I don't really see a huge problem with this because even if there isn't a video then you are going to have people talking about it. It seems like to me since it is in the public that there isn't a problem with it. I could see if there was just a couple people around and you were videoing it but when all the public is seeing it. My other thing is what is difference in the news videoing something like this than for someone out of the public to just video it. I get that it probably does upset and make the person that is getting arrested mad because really who wants everyone in the public to know that they are getting arrested. Although, they are the one that committed the crime so they have to pay the prices for what they have done.

2-8-12 Death Penalty

     I think that the death penalty in a very good thing. Although, I think that they could very easily find a cheaper way of doing it. If you have the death penalty then you wouldn't have all these criminals running around committing murders and being let out of jail and it always seems like once they do something like that once than they keep doing thing's. Although, the way they do the death penalty is using our tax money to pay for it so I really don't like that. But i don't think that they should just let some of these people that did awful thing's and ruined families lives out of jail and just let them run. I believe with the people like that they should be able to do the death penalty.

2-7-12 Health of American's

The health of Americans in very poor. Around here I think that people need to start taking their health serious. There are many different thing's that are bad for your health. The obese people are the ones that usually end up getting diabetes and having breathing problems. I think we need to have more exercising activities around here, it would help with the people who need the exercise and are really willing to work to lose some weight. Eating healthy is a huge part in being a healthy person. If all you eat is junk and eating fast food everyday or every night that is not good for you at all. You have to have some sugar in your body but eating candy and stuff all the time is very bad for you. I know around here they have some exercising activities for the community to come to and it really seems to help with some of the people.

2-6-12 Federalist papers

1- What are Federalist Papers?A series of eighty-five essays written by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay in the late 1780's to persuade the voters of New York to adopt the Constitution. The essays are considered a classic defense of the American system of government, as well as classic practical application of political principles.

2- Who wrote Federalist Papers? James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, and John Jay

3- Publius- The authors used the pseudonym Publius in honor of Roman consul Publius Valerius Publicola. Madison who often now receives greater foundational credit as the father of the Constitution despite his repeated rejection of the honor during his lifetime.

4- Federalists Papers 10- 
     James Madison starts this off by saying that the strong Constitution has the control to deal with violence and aggression created by factions. James Madison said these factions do not help those in favor of democratic government because they cause instability in the government. He made of it very clear by saying "The Friend of Popular Governments, never finds himself so much more alarmed for their character fate, as when he contemplates their propensity to this dangerous vice."  Madison then said that he knew that there would always be factions in the American Society because of the opinion differences. He says that one of the biggest sources that factions come from are from the distribution of land.
5- Federalist Papers 51-
     Madison begins this essay with talk of having three separate branches of government. The three different branches would be Judicial, legislative, and Executive. He explains that each branch should be independent and have the same amount of power. He later said why there should be restrictions on power.  He said many different times that the government has to be able to control the people and also be able to control themselves. Madison said that the idea of the three separate branches with equal amounts of power is a great idea. You can not let one branch of government have more power than the others. They stressed all the time about individual rights. He thinks that minority rights are important on lesser political issues unlike liberty or individual rights.
  

2-6-12 5th Amendment

5th Amendment
Pros-
1) Protects us against our privacy.
Cons-
1) They wouldn't be able to put the guy in Jail because they couldn't prove that he did it.

I don't think that it was right at all that the teacher could spy on the kids. That is the kids privacy. The kids weren't even at school they were at there own home. I think that the passwords situation was hard to decided which way to go. I think that they should be able to get the guys passwords if they are able to  prove forsure that the guy did do something. If they aren't sure if they can prove it then they shouldn't be able to get the passwords.

2-3-12 FBI Locates, Amber Henry and Kirsten Kamradt, Missing Georgia Girls, in Tennessee

The FBI has located two Georgia girls who were taken in the middle of the night. Amber 16, and Kirsten 14, were taken from their homes early on Wednesday. Both girls were found in Tennessee. Amber was dropped off at the gas station where she called for help but Kirsten was still in the vehicle.Detectives found the vehicle in Hamblen County and then pulled it over. The guy who had picked Kirsten up was Joshua Crowe 19 and was driving a white Buick. Although, when they found the vehicle Dustin Elliot 19 was the one who had Kirsten. Both of the men are facing kidnapping charges and are in custody at this time.

2-3-12 Two American Women Kidnapped in Egypt

Two American women and their guide were kidnapped in Egypt. It seems like to me that this is an ongoing thing right now in Egypt. Earlier this week Bedouins kidnapped 25 Chinese workers in Sinai but luckily they were released the following day and they weren't harmed. They were kidnapped while traveling south from Saint Catherine's monastery on Mount Sinai to the Red Sea resort. They only kidnapped the two American women and left the three other tourists behind. They are trying to find as much information about the situation as they can so they can try to catch the kidnappers.

2-2-12 Feds Crack Lincoln County Vote Fraud

I think that what the two men did was very wrong. I don't think that you should be able to in any way put a vote in for anyone else besides yourself. I believe that they should have got in a lot of trouble for doing this. I mean I would feel awful if I put a vote in for someone who was working out of the country to just try and make a living. From my understanding they also made some of the names up of people that don't even exist. I believe that the punishment that they got is what they should have got because you have to look at all the trouble that they have caused everyone else. This comes down to it when you say who can't trust anyone.

2-1-12 Texting Bill Moving

Pros-
1) You wouldn't have to worry about people running off the road and wrecking.
2) People would pay more attention to the road.
3) You would pay better attention to vehicle.
4) You may be able to prevent car accidents if you aren't texting.

Cons-
1) Not being able to communicate with the people that you may need to.
