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.

    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

    Would you volunteer to be part of a study like this? Why or why not?

    If I didn't have sports to play and could watch an artist I enjoy for free I would participate in a study like this. The reason being I'm healthy and all of my friends who have gotten the virus said it felt like a cold. (I know this isn't the case for all people of course)
  •  
    Yes, because i'm healthy and have a small chance of dying from the corona virus.
  •  
    I think I would try and avoid an experiment like this. Don't get me wrong, it sounds interesting and enjoyable but even if I could listen to a band I enjoy, there is always going to be a looming fear of me getting the virus. I wouldn't be able to focus on the music.
  •  
    I don't think I would consider being apart of experiments like this, mainly because I don't want to get it and maybe spread it to others who didn't even attend it, like my family or friends. It would just make me nervous, to be honest.
  •  
    I wouldn't try. because I don't wanna get Corona. or I don't wanna spread to people.
  •  
    I would volunteer because it's a free concert and it would help bring back more live events that would be safer and help us get back to normality plus I'm a healthy kid so I'm low risk.
  •  
    I would volunteer because its a free concert and I am very healthy and if I were to get it I would most likely recover from it and be fine.
  •  
    I would definitely volunteer to be apart of this study. I think we need to try and gain some normalcy back into our lives. Another reason I'd try this is because I'm very healthy and haven't been exposed to anything. With this study underway, we as people could see if this could be an effective way to get back to our lives
  •  
    I wouldn't volunteer because yes its a free concert, and yes I'm healthy so I'm at low risk but, I have lots a family members who are at high risk. Even if I'm fine and get it, those who are around me and are at high risk might not be in the long run. I rather stay safe for others.
  •  
    Ok so, this is like a 50/50 no I don't want corona but if I can help humanity to figure out more about this virus then i would do it hands down no questions asked.
  •  
    I would volunteer to do this study because I think it would be a cool opportunity to see where you can get COVID and where it is mostly at. I would absolutely volunteer just for the experience and to see what is around me and to see if we could actually use something other than masks.
  •  
    I think I would definitely participate in this study because I think society needs to try to get back to normalcy and try to figure out how to go back to times before covid.
  •  
    I would volunteer because I'm all for trying to get things back to normal. I think that corona has changed our lives enough, and I don't think we should have to live in fear of going in public without a mask.
  •  
    I would not volunteer because its dangerous enough trusting some masks material to protect you from spreading or receiving the virus. As nice as a free concert would sound, it would be too risky to make it as a test. If they used something other than humans (or easier to maintain animals) for testing, it could make tests less worrisome when post-results are gathered.
  •  
    I would do it because I know that I can't die from the virus, so I think it would be cool to find out how quickly it actually spreads and how many people are really effected by it
  •  
    I would volunteer because i think it would be fun to go to a concert also it would help get more information on covid and how to deal with it.
  •  
    I would not participate in this experiment because I would not put myself in a situation where I'm most susceptible to the potentially deadly virus.
  •  
    I would participate in this experiment because I could have fun while giving people more information about COVID 19.
  •  
    I would not put myself in this situation to do this while still a deadly sickness. I would not put myself in this if the risk is to die
  •  
    I would never do a study like this because I am at higher risk to get COVID and so are the people I live with, I wouldn't want to put them at risk for a concert I'm probably not going to remember in a few months.

This Country Just Abolished College Tuition Fees | ThinkProgress - 1 views

  •  
    " Higher education is now free throughout the country, even for international students. Yesterday, Lower Saxony became the last of seven German states to abolish tuition fees, which were already extremely low compared to those paid in the United States."
  •  
    I think it'd be wonderful if the US was able to do this. It'd open up so many more opportunities to students. Maybe not completely free, but if America could reduce the general cost of college it'd be wonderful.

Germanwings plane crash: Co-pilot acted deliberately - CNN.com - 4 views

  •  
    Why did Andreas Lubitz turn the jetliner's nose downward, sending it plunging into the French Alps and killing all 150 people aboard? Did he plan his actions? What drove the German national to do that? Those questions and more remained unanswered after the Tuesday crash of Germanwings Flight 9525 headed from Barcelona, Spain, to Dusseldorf, Germany.
  •  
    The pilot Lubitz was sick and not fit to work but kept it a secret from his employer and crashed in the French alpes and its unknown if it was physical or mental condition.
