That's really cool! I would like to ride in one of these! Although I probably won't be able to for quite some time.

Personally, I would not want one, for it to run on detailed maps, and be able to override and read every factor of driving, it would require the internet. Assuming it is using google maps, what if it cannot connect to the internet? That's dangerous. To add, like ever machine, there is going to be an error, and this will probably raise accident rates.

. . . Google in general honestly kind of scares me. Like, yeah, the Chromes and Docs and stuff are beneficial for school things, but they don't have to try to take over the world. (And Payton brought up a good point with the car needing to be connected to the internet to work.) Also, has anyone heard about how Google asks you for your real name instead of allowing you to use a screen name (or something like that)? I remember, I think it was two days ago, that I was going to post a comment on a YouTube video that I had watched with my YouTube account that I've had since 2007, and then Google was all like, "Oh hey want to show your real name instead of your screen name?" and I was like, "Heck no." And there have been times where they purposely log me out of my Google account, and then when I sign back in, they ask for my cell phone number and I click skip because I'm not giving my number to Google. It's for some stupid information loss thing or whatever. But who knows if they're actually protecting your personal information and your privacy?

scary stuff

Well its a sad that the government just blows this problem over there shoulders with no care in the world, and we the people take the bullet for it.

It's also sad that during this current Congress they voted to repeal the ACA thirty sometimes other then work on this issue. I think that many people forget that the Obama Administration has presented a jobs plan and the House rejected it just as the Senate/President have rejected job plans brought up by the House. This is the exact reason that we're even in this mess. A lack of compromise on all sides.

"President Barack Obama on Wednesday proposed background checks on all gun sales and bans on military style assault weapons and high-capacity magazines as part of a package of steps to reduce gun violence in the wake of the Newtown school massacre last month."

if its for the sake of students going to school and being able to be educated in a safe environment then i agree with his plan

No matter what you do to regulate guns, the person that wants to rampage a bunch of people is going to do whatever they can to get a hold of a gun.

"Thieves broke into a warehouse in Spartanburg, South Carolina and stole almost $19,000 worth of the yummy treats."

Picture the profit that will be made.

So many cookies

"It's going to be a big week for the Supreme Court as justices hear two landmark same-sex marriage cases on consecutive days."

The fact this argument is still happening is seriously ridiculous. I love how people can preach that racism is awful and that we shouldn't have racists, yet they are totally fine with taking away the rights of Americans because of sexual preference. America? Smh

"A woman was assaulted by her ex-boyfriend after she called 911 and tried to get an officer at her home. Her call was transferred to the state police because the sheriff's department isn't staffed 24 hours a day or seven days a week, the station said. A dispatcher for the state police said, "Uh, I don't have anybody to send out there. You know, obviously, if he comes inside the residence and assaults you, can you ask him to go away?""

(CNN) -- Oregon Gov. John Kitzhaber is considering legislation that would declare a public safety emergency in some Oregon counties where residents often have been left to try to fend for themselves. The measure would also impose a temporary income tax on residents of counties unable to pay for public safety workers due to budget cuts.

To erase some of the emotional scars left behind from the December shooting massacre at the Sandy Hook Elementary School, an advisory board wants the building torn down and replaced.

i think its a good thing that they tear down sandy hook school and rebuild a new one because nobody is going to be able to go into the school without being completely terrified and all they will remember is what happened.

"When the KKK steps in as the voice of reason, you know you are dealing with the bottom-of-the-barrel crazy." -Very true. I don't usually approve of Anonymous, but it will be interesting to see what they do.

I find it interesting that the KKK is against what they're doing. Like the quote that Mallory posted said, you're clearly wrong and crazy if the KKK is against what you're doing.

To funny, Anonymous is going after them! This is hilarious! Mallory, thank you for showing me this!

A lot of money will be lost if this is followed through with and alot of angry girls under the age of 18

There's nothing wrong with being tan or pale. It indicates nothing other than how much time it appears you spend in the sun. And yes, this will cause businesses to lose money, but as for the girls who want to be tan year-round, there are other options that would probably actually be healthier, such as tanning lotions, bronzer, actually going out in the sun, etc. Or maybe they should work to make tanning beds safer so that the risk of skin cancer decreases. Maybe the tanning salons could work to sell tanning lotions and bronzers and spray tans so that they don't loose as much money.

okay i gave my opinion too Natalie and if your fine with it then okay i just said i wouldn't like it and a lot of girls don't either that's why they tan i was being sarcastic in my comment

I think it is good that Giffords is pushing for gun control because I believe that we need it.

I agree with you, Grayson. The government should make people own a gun safe to store all of their weapons. It is dangerous for guns to be located somewhere where anyone can get their hands on them. Despite that fact, the second amendment gives you the right to own weapons. Although there have been many gun crimes in the United States, lately, you cannot take away that right. Just because some people handle weapons irresponsibly, all people should not be punished for it.

i do like my guns and i dont want the government telling me i cant have them. taking guns away wont stop murders it will just make them happen in a different way

I think the parent should be charged if any one i mean you should have your guns locked up anyways

The parents should be charged. If they are going to own any guns while having children living with them in the house, they should be responsible enough to put the guns in a locked gun cabinet or safe. Or simply just put the gun in a place the the kids can't access. It's common sense. This shouldn't have happened and in my mind the parents are the ones to blame.

This is just awful. The parents really should have A) locked their guns up, and B) taught their children gun safety (or to not mess with a gun at all) if they planned on keeping a loaded rifle in the house. That is just stupid.

I'm going to Texas!!

I completely agree with Madison.

Actually this doesn't sound bad, because colleges will still require it, and Texas schools don't necessarily have the same grading system as us.

"Lawmakers from both parties have devoted nearly half a billion dollars in taxpayer money over the past two years to build improved versions of the 70-ton Abrams. But senior Army officials have said repeatedly, "No thanks.""

They said that they didn't need the newer tanks, yet they go ahead and throw money out to fund the production of the newer models. Why don't they spend the money on military training, or other essentials that were also listed in the article. I just don't understand how it's "okie dokie" for them to do this if it's clearly unnecessary.

They don't have much of a choice. If they are given money for new tanks they cant spend it on anything else.

"Students at one south Georgia high school share classrooms and sports fields; but, they don't share the same prom." Welcome to 2013. How far have we come in fighting segregation... not far enough.

I can't believe this stuff still exist. The football team is segregated but the prom isn't? What took so long?

Is this even legal?

I read this and the first thing that comes to my mind is why didn't the sister call the police right away if she was watching?

Was there no one else around to see this? The fact that the father had to come and get the guy, instead of a teacher or another adult that was near by, worries me. Everyone should be watching out for the kids, making the school a more safe environment.

I agree with Meghan in a way. The man could have been armed, and if he were approached the 10 year old would have been in greater danger. But, I also can not wrap my head around the fact that the father AND sister of the child were sitting there and did not call the police until after the girl got away. What were they going to do if he actually took her?

class A reason why they should just legalize what is know to be a safe substance. Then maybe kids wouldn't be choking each other for a high... or putting stuff in their body they have no background knowledge on.

I think this is a perfect reason why they shouldn't legalize it. If she wants to smoke then she should just go live in Colorado.

I mean if she wanted to smoke she should of just moved to Colorado!

Obama may not have votes for gun legislation to pass

I believe gun makers are just doing what will get them the most amount of profit, since there are no laws requiring them to make weapons safer, easier to match, or track they see no point in helping, since it would cost more money to fulfill these requests.

The reason it failed is because he is not using common sense, you cant just expect someone to do something you tell them too. No they need to think about the fact and solve the issue, like school shootings and gangs in the cities thinking they can run the place, because they are cool no. You need to use mind and use it wisely and if that doesn't work than i would suggest using brute force like getting the people that are paid to solve these problems like going in to the main source of violence which would be the gang shootings and take them into custody and put them behind bars for a long time which might be the only solution he has to offer who knows.

This is crazy how could someone sue their wife for having an ugly baby? I don't think the court should allow this to even be a case..

This is wrong because a lot of baby's are not cute when they are born but at the same time some are.

Lololololol. What? Just because the woman is "ugly" doesn't mean the baby's appearance is entirely her fault. It was his sperm along with her egg. His DNA and hers. Wouldn't that make him partially responsible? This case shouldn't have even been allowed to go to court.

Its insane how badly the East coast was hit this past week. And no power for up to 9 more days that is going to be difficult seeing as most businesses use all electronics now a days. And this storm is not only going to affect just the east coast but everybody because of all the income the government needs to begin repairing they will raise prices on a lot of things gas being one of the main targets.

I think that is crazy, why people think that some people would choose to be tortured everyday is beyond me. I mean come on. I think this issue should just resolve like now, yes I understand that in the bible it says that homosexuality is a sin. But God made you who you are. People have to understand that, obviously there is a plan, it just hasn't showed itself to everyone yet. Being Homosexual is a life, if a Heterosexual stepped into a Homosexual's life for one day they would understand that they go through so much crap constantly. I think if it was just passed as a law people would forget about it. And everything in the world would be a lot less hectic. P.S.... I love the translation at the bottom!! That is hilarious!! :D

my whole view on this is that it is ridiculous. gay people should get their rights already.

In all reality..... If Religion is your reason to say, "Being gay is not okay," then you really need to know your history. First, Christmas, if I recall the documentary that I watched not to long ago correctly, was a time for grown men to beat there wives, and go out and have "gay sex" with each other? So, if you denounce gay marriage because of Catholicism, or Christianity, you just denounced Christmas. Second, for those of you who are Hindustan, you have a celebrated holiday that is for 2 guys, and 1 girl, to "get it on." It's called Karma Sutra. Yeah, religion should not be allowed to interfere in America's choice to permit/deny gay marriage, and not just for those 2 reasons. (Those reasons being that the religions allow it themselves, yet say it is not okay.) Let's just read out constitution. We've all heard, "Freedom of Religion," before, right? Well, right there, religion should not be allowed to found a reason as to deny gay relationships. To add, let us look at the Declaration of Independence, "Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." Pursuit of happiness includes marriage correct? If so, define marriage Religion definition: The formal union of a man and a woman, typically recognized by law, by which they become husband and wife. Actual definition: Marriage is a social union or legal contract between people called spouses that creates kinship. Just by out constitutional freedoms, and foundations, most of it points in the direction of gay marriage should be legal, which Jenny, is why I agree with you. As for being gay being something you can fix, don't think so. I don't see people changing there skin color. (Except Micheal Jackson, but we all still know that he was not as light-toned as that.) Do you see people choosing there eye color? Either that is one expensive (or failed) surgery, or it does not happen. I don't think you are capable of changing the way someone is born, (unless it changes your physical appearance, which does not change you
