I think its good that Justices tackle epic debate over constitutionality of health care reform. I think that The highest court in the land is preparing to tackle perhaps the most important appeals to reach it in more than a decade. This article was a pretty good article

I dont think the U.S should get involved in this situation. we just got through fighting a war that we lost a lot of men and hurt a lot of famlies. Its thousands of miles away can we just let them fight it out and stay out of this. Our country is in debt and we cant afford to spend billions fighting another war.

in the artical it tell how employers may ask you to log into your facebook page to get names and ferther details on you that you may have not put on your aplication. it also says that some collages have student athletes add a coach or other school-affiliated figure as a "friend" in order to monitor their actions online. in my opinion this is a rather good idea becaus eif u have a facebook you shouldent put dumb stuff o it anyhow.

Ellie Lavi gave birth to twins overseas in Israel. even tho she is from Chicago her babies are considered overseas babies. They are not American citizens. A child born to an American citizen by in Vitro fertilization is NOT an American citizen unless the donors can be proven to be American. I don't agree with this at all. I think its unfair and inconvenient.

are video games art? i honestly believe that video games are art because it takes a talent to be able to do what game designers do, and video game designing may not be an art but things you have to do to make a game, like graphics are art so id say that game designing is an art!

people want faster Internet, so companies such as google and Microsoft's Bing are competing to see who can be the fastest. in my opinion the thing that needs to get faster are the phone Internet speeds, due to the mass usage of smart phones these days. in the sixty's you didn't have smart phones with Internet to clog up the Internet like a traffic jam, so in turn the home Internet seemed faster.

BE IT ENACTED BY STUDENT CONGRESS ASSEMBLED THAT:

We help reduce the chances of child abuse by making it a greater crime if you abuse your children.

If youare caught hitting, kicking, slapping, burning, starving, neglecting, or emotionally and mentally

harming your children, it will be considered a federal crime and will be taken to high court.

You will have to be approved before you are allowed a child. There will be a backround check, and a
home examination before your child is born.

There will be a required class for all woman preparing to have children.

They will need to pass this class, and be approved before the birth of their child.

There will be more child abuse centers accessable to the public.

Five children die a day from child abuse.

In 1999, an estimated 3,244,00 were reported to CPS.

Since then the number has gone up more than 50,000.

A report of child abuse is made every ten seconds.

In 2005, 899,000 children were victims of child abuse, maltreatment, and neglect.

If any person fails to report the sighting of child abuse, that person shall recieve a fine of up to $2,000.

This includes the striking of a child in public, unattendance of a child, or unrational anger towards

their child.

Childhood victims of abuse are 59% more likely to be arrested as a juvenile.

Therefore; without child abuse there would be a great deal less crime.

One-third of all parents who were abused as a child typically abuse their children.

About 80% of 21 year olds that were abused as children met the criteria for at least one psychological

disorder.

Abused children are 25% more likely to experience teen pregnancy, which ultimately leads to even

more child abuse.

These order will be forced to be obeyed by the state of West Virginia.

companys are trying to buy old "tweets"? i dont understand why mass companys want to buy tweets. i mean i understand they can use them for marketing but im so confused on how. how do the companys know that the tweets are good or even positive. it sounds shady to me. it doesnt sound professional and it sound like there incapable of their own marketing.
