New York troopers given big SUVs to peer in on texting drivers - 1 views

  •  
    Even for a state trooper, it's not easy to spot drivers who are texting. Their smartphones are down on their laps, not at their ears. And they're probably not moving their lips.

    I think that the SUV's will be good for catching drivers texting. If the word gets around there will probably be less accidents and less desire to text while driving.
  •  
    I think this is more of a scare tactic. People seeing those big SUVs will stop texting knowing that they are looking for texters.
  •  
    i think that suvs will be a good thing to stop drivers that are texting
  •  
    I think the drivers will still text, because there can't be cops everywhere watching for it. Especially if there are more serious problems going on.
  •  
    The SUV could be helpful
  •  
    Good idea, but I think they should have used a different method than just buying SUVs for all New York Troopers
  •  
    I think drivers are still going to text while driving because they don't care. You can't have cop everywhere because one, there isn't enough and second because there is more important thing then set at every street.
  •  
    I don't think it matters because texting is a second offense. Which means that a trooper cannot pull you over just because you are texting. You have to commit a first offense and get pulled over to be charged for the second offense.
  •  
    I agree with little Miss McKenzie on this one!(: Teenagers will be teenagers..until something happens to them or to someone they know..they won't change.
  •  
    It depends on which state you are in, if its a second offense or not. In some states such as New York its a first offense.

  •  
    Clinton didn't take any shots at Sanders during her first post-New York rally on Wednesday night, instead delivering her standard stump speech and casting the April 26 primaries in Pennsylvania, Delaware, Connecticut, Rhode Island and Maryland as a "great opportunity to start us on the path to the White House."

    Late Thursday morning, Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi told a group of reporters in New York that his country had uncovered a plot by ISIS sympathizers to attack subway systems in Paris and New York. Al-Abadi, who was in New York attending the opening of the United Nations General Assembly, said the information had come from his country's intelligence service.

New York Times Releases Investigation of Trump's Tax Returns; Trump Calls it 'Fake News... - 2 views

  •  
    Here is another article about what Trump avoiding taxes could mean: https://www.politico.com/news/2020/09/28/trump-taxes-five-takeaways-422789
  •  
    I think everyone should pay a certain amount on their taxes depending on how much they make. the trip makes $500 million a year according to his 2018 year income. It has shown he only paid 750 in federal income tax. not to mention he has gone on vacation many times which also costs from anywhere from 55 to 315 million. Even if he says its fake news things like those cant keep going on.

Trump defends Obama wiretapping charges, predicts 'very interesting items' to be reveal... - 11 views

  •  
    "President Trump on Wednesday indicated that he had no solid evidence to support his declaration that former president Barack Obama ordered surveillance on his phones at Trump Tower in New York during last fall's campaign."

  •  
    If Trump has proof why doesn't he reveal it now instead of dragging it on?
  •  
    If Trump has no solid evidence that Obama "wirer tapped" him then how can he keep accusing him of it.
  •  
    Trump is supplying the media with unjust accusations. He is drawing out something that's deemed "wrongful and problematic" yet has not presented anyone with any solid evidence or proof.
  •  
    Trump said that he had just found out that Obama was tapping his wires but in the same tweet said that there was no proof of it actually happening. The man is just a joke trying to bring "FAKE NEWS" to his name. Using anything he can to use his twitter just like a pre-teen finding out more rumors.

Nazi essay assignment teacher placed on leave by New York school district - 1 views

  •  
    Wrong.
  • ...6 more comments...
  •  
    If my teacher asked me to write that essay I would refuse too. That is not something they should have to be writing about. She could have at least given them the option to choose either that Jews are bad or Nazis are bad so it didn't look as bad for her.
  •  
    This is wrong for the teacher to assign something that may offend someones religion.
  •  
    Couldn't she just be trying to open the children's mind to a different point of view? Giving them a life lesson, that there's always two sides to every story. Not necessarily trying to offend anyone.
  •  
    Teachers have kids write essays from different aspects and point of views all the time to try to get them to open their mind about new things. The teacher just should have anticipated that people may get offended with a topic like that.
  •  
    Maybe she shouldn't have picked a topic that pushes the envelope so much. I don't know, it just seems like it could be really touchy, like it kind of crosses the line.
  •  
    She should have been aware that some people may reject the assignment when she asked them to write about it! For some people it's a sore subject so I don't think they should necessarily have to write about it if they don't want too.
  •  
    That is a serious topic for students.. It would personally be uncomfortable for me to write an essay for that.
  •  
    I feel that the idea behind the assignment wasn't to necessarily portray that the teacher thought, and wanted the class to think, Jewish people as being evil but I feel that it is what ended up happening. The teacher could have picked hundreds of different essay topics ranging from abortion to zero tolerance polices that would have allowed students to write persuasively and not specify any one group in particular.

» NYT Admits Every Major News Organization Allows News To Be Censored By Gove... - 0 views

  •  
    I think that there should be no problem with what they say getting out into the public. Why should they be censored when we are trying to know what kind of a person they are?
  •  
    I agree, this degree of censoring isn't just. Where's our First Amendment? And if a government official changes a quote later, then that just means they are not being genuine all the time.
  •  
    I also agree, when it comes to government officials telling the public their viewpoint, nothing should be censored or revised. The people want to know the truth, no matter what side their on. Politicians are well known as liars and crooks, why does it have to be that way?

Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump win big in New York - 3 views

  •  
    Their decisive wins usher in a new phase in the 2016 campaign. Both Trump and Clinton have fought bitterly for months to keep their rivals at bay, each slogging through primary contests that exposed vulnerabilities in their candidacies and campaigns.

    I don't know why but I don't think trump winning the race is a good idea
  •  
    I think Trump is doing a good job of getting his name out there and winning votes. I think it is very likely that he will win the nomination. I have no idea who will win the democratic

  •  
    New York (CNN) -- Former pharmaceutical executive Gigi Jordan testified Wednesday that she knowingly gave a lethal concoction of drugs to her 8-year-old autistic son. Fighting back tears as she took the stand for the first time in her second-degree murder trial, Jordan admitted that she knowingly gave herself and her son, Jude Mirra, enough drugs to kill them both.

    This is a terrible event. I can't believe that ISIS is still believing they are doing the right thing. They are killing people in the name of their God and the way they think things shouldn't be. They are Hippocratics.

New York bans display of Confederate flag and other hate symbols on state grounds - CNN - 7 views

  •  
    I don't think that banning certain flags is completely fair. Some people may have considered those flags hate flags but others not. I think that if other people want to have flags banned it should be because they may consider it hate speech or they may not agree with certain flags either.
  • ...4 more comments...
  •  
    I think that it was fair to ban it as the message it sends today is one of hate. While some may not consider it hate speech, we must take into account the opinion of the people that symbol hurts. As such the only place I think that flag should be is in a museum.
  •  
    I agree with Emma that banning flags isn't fair. Just because you don't agree with a flag someone has doesn't mean it should be banned.
  •  
    I think that emma and baylie are racist
  •  
    and i agree with @margaretgrover <3
  •  
    I think you haven't really thought about this through. That flag is disgusting. LIke Germany banned its nazi flag, America as a whole should ban that confederate flag.
  •  
    I think they should ban the confederate flag like they did with the Nazi flag in Germany
