Reading this article makes me feel very grateful that I live in American where I can speak freely about whatever I want and believe in any religion I choose. It's sad that because some one has different beliefs than others, they are charged and put into jail.

I think the kid shouldn't be put in jail for this because he is just expressing himself through his beliefs. I'm glad I live in a place where I can have my own thoughts. I can't imagine being put in jail for my view of religion.

It honestly makes me cringe when I read that this student was put in jail for expressing himself through his own beliefs. I understand that it's against Egypt's constitution, but I think that they should be able to express their own beliefs....in every country! I'm thankful to live in America because I'm able to express my own beliefs and be apart of any religion I choose to be without being put in jail. I'm grateful.

As an American, we know what freedom is. It is sad to see that other countries truly don't get the ooportunities that we do. It's sad that a child cannot ever truly express himself.

Reading this makes me quite sad to be honest. And also makes me very grateful to live in a country where its founders believed that everyone should have a right to have whatever religion they wish. A 3 year jail sentence is used for more extreme things here in America, but in Egypt it is obviously a major offense.

I think this is wrong in so many ways and I feel very happy that I live in a country where I can say,write and think what I want without getting in trouble with the government. These countries limiting the capacity of a human which makes them to almost robots

I think this is wrong but I do think they should be able to express their religion

They should be able to express their religion

I think that people should be able to have their own beliefes and should not be forced to believe in something. I think making him go to jail is a bit exteme. This makes me gratful that I live in a country where I can express my beliefes and not be punished because they may be different than someone elses.

"There's a good possibility, a strong possibility, that we can stop them going into Syria. And our main objective here is to make contact with these three young girls, for them to make contact with us, preferably." But so far, silence.

Cecilia, I love the quote that you use from the story. I don't see them working that hard to get them back.

crazy

Reminds me of a vigilante.

People need to learn that the world is a dangerous place, and that we need to provide some protection from people like this...

its sad that people have ruin good things that are helpful to others. also i don't get why this person had the thought to just post and add just so he could kill some people they need help cause they are not all their.

This is crazy. I agree with Amanda. They ruined something that other people use for help. It's disturbing that you can't really trust a lot of people.

This story just shows that people really do hide behind social networking sites. They aren't who you thought they were. I feel bad for the kid. I would be terrified too!

The one child left alive is going to have a hard time adjusting to knowing that they were the only one left out of the ones that died.

One of kid will have a hard time to get to know what happend to the ones that died

This is just disgusting, I think anyone who can intentionally hurt an innocent child is despicable. Having a child of my own makes this story even more heart breaking.

It would be a violation of the first amendment if the family was forced to remove their decorations, but I think they should , out of courtesy, tone it down a little bit because kids are being scared by it. And it doesn't really look like Halloween decorations it is just graphic and violent.

I think they should take it down since they live near a school and little kids probably walk past and get scared. I think it would be fine if they put it up on Halloween because other people are probably going to have scarier stuff out.

I don't think they should have to take it down. Everyone decorates their houses in different ways and that is how they chose to decorate their house. What if someone had a blow pumpkin with a face that would be considered scary to a group of two year olds? Should that neighbor take down that blow up pumpkin?

I don't think the family should have to take this down. Everyone has their own views and opinions. I would be violating their freedom. They may be able to make it a little less scary for the children's sake but they shouldn't have too.

well no person should destroy this, its a work of art, if parents don't like this they can make their children stay home or look away but this is and can be a form of speech. so it can be lowered but it can't be taken away.

This is their own option to make it scary. Parents should be able to shield their kids from what they don't agree with.

Being forced to take it down would be a violation of their freedom of speech. They have the right to express themselves.

The family put a lot of work into their decoration.

It really isn't fair for the family to have to take down their decorations, because some parents don't agree with it. If they don't agree with it they don't have to pay attention to it. The family shouldn't have to adjust their halloween fun and decorations to make someone else happy.

The United States is based off the freedom of expression, and if the Ohio family wants to set up decorations for Halloween they are more than allowed to do so. Because of this freedom of expression it wouldn't be fair to have to take down their decorations.

I feel like this can go both ways it can be a really silly idea and rip off the plane or be a great idea to have dates on an aircraft. ( ZAC OLSON )

this would be cool. but this could also make it easier for people to high jack a plan or blow it up because they are in a glass dome on top of the plane, if you where to blow that dome off then the presser from the air would suck everything threw that hole.

I think this is very dangerous idea.

I think this sounds super cool, as long as they could find a way to make it safe.

I think this is a super cool way to get people more interested in flying in airplanes. But there should be multiple tests before hand, just so we know that its intentionally a really safe place to be. Many things are dangerous about this idea, but its pretty cool.

I may be missing something, but what does this have to do with government? I mean it's an interesting thing for sure, but what does a design of a commercial airplane matter to our government.

This would be an interesting thing to make, as long as its safe, Some people would become more interested in flying since airplane rides are usually long and boring.

I guess planet earth is blue... and there's nothing left to do... Farewell Major Tom.

I feel that the police should be charged for the murder of the Colorado man being shot and killed because this is exactly why people have police protests. The justice system is failing the system.

The fact that he had a hearing impairment was not something that the cops knew forthright and, not to give them the right for shooting an innocent man, they had reason to believe that he could have been the intruder. He was in a robe and looked to be disheveled and could very well have been a crazy man who broke into a random home. There is also the fact that it was dark and the police had no idea what to expect in the outcome of this incident. I do not believe that the cops are at fault in this incident.

Should the cops be arrested, no why? because for one before the coped entered or saw the man they heard a shot being fire in the house which of course caused them to pull there weapons out. When they go to the door the man peaked out around a hallway which to a cop could look suspicious not only that but after multiple attempts to get him to drop the weapon he still didn't. Which was most likely because of he hard hearing but he made a terrible mistake by then coming out and pointing a flashlight at them with the gun in his hand even though the man wasn't pointing the gun at the police it was still alarming to them and there instinct kicked like hey I got a man with a gun in his hand pointing a flashlight at me like he could kill me and the reacted by shooting him dead. Although steps could have been taken before shooting a shot, there was also multiple cops at the scene and you can't predict what each cop would have done. none the less they shouldn't be arrested for the mistake of the man.

i feel like he should not be charged because a man with a gun came out and he also had a flashlight and most guns have a flashlight attachment and so when the guy pointed the flashlight at them they thought he was aiming at them so they fired shots at him also in the 911 call they should have said something about having a gun or about the grandpa

I agree with cmerksick It was a tragic mistake but I think they shouldn't be punished given the situation and knowledge the officers had.

If you are not a woman, you should not have a say in what women can and cannot do with their body. This is an unconstitutional law and it greatly endangers women's health care all across Mississippi. Every day, women are raped and become impregnated, but many may not know they are pregnant until after 15 weeks. How does the Mississippi government expect that woman to carry out the pregnancy under the circumstances that had caused her to be pregnant in the first place? It is clear the Mississippi government has not fully taken every circumstance into consideration when creating this law.

I think that the only constitutional ban we could put onto abortions is when the fetus can feel pain. At that point, you shouldn't be allowed to get one. Possible exemptions being if the women was raped, forced to have a child, or if having the child could hurt or kill the mother.

I can see why people would want to ban abortions after a certain time frame, even though I disagree with where they put the cap. However, I really don't like how there's no exceptions for rape, and I especially hate how there's now exceptions for incest. Inbred children tend to be incredibly unhealthy, and if the mother doesn't want to carry them to term, they shouldn't be forced to.

I agree that there should be a certain time frame for when you can have an abortion, but 15 weeks is to early to decide. I also think that if the mother doesn't want to her have the baby then she shouldn't be forced to, depending on what the reason is. Like if she was raped or could harm herself, then she shouldn't be forced to have the child, but say she just doesn't want to because she isn't ready then maybe she can think of others options like adoption because their are many people who can't have a baby that do want one.

I agree that there should be a time frame but also I believe that women should be able to do what they want with their bodies. There could be many different reasons for abortion like rape, self harm or just to young. But people should also think before they take action. I say this because people know what could happen when they have sexual intercourse. They know the consequences. But there are other options other then abortion, like adoption. There are plenty families that want kids but cant have them so instead of abortion they could end up helping a family.

I agree with this law. 15 weeks is plenty of time for someone to decide if they would like a child in their life. People do make mistakes and rather than the child not having a good life they decide to not have the child.

I would normally disagree with abortion, but I believe that you should be able to do whatever you want as long as it doesn't directly affect anyone else. Someone could say the same thing about drug use. As long as you don't hurt anyone, it is okay. Why would someone try to control someone else's body/life?

I feel as the argument over abortions comes down to if you consider the egg as living or not during early pregnancy. As abortions are the woman's choice this still gives them that opportunity to make that decision if it feels just, but after so long the egg does start to develop where then you could be ending a life. Then that is where they draw the line and are basically saying that it is past the point of being harmless, so I can agree with this bill.

I agree that there should be some time frame for when you can and cannot have an abortion. 15 weeks to me seems like enough time for the women to decide if they want to keep the child or not. People do make mistakes. I think that it would be better to not have the child if its going to be born into a bad life. But I think that decision is ultimately up to the mother of the child.

I think that its good that they made it 15 weeks because at that time the baby is still not too big and it gives the mother some type of time to make a decision

i agree with the law too because they are well developed at 15 weeks
