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

At issue is the "cost sharing" provision in the law that requires insurance companies offering health plans through the law to reduce out-of-pocket costs for policy holders who qualify. The government offsets the added costs to insurance companies by reimbursing them. But lawyers for the House argued that Congress did not properly approve the money for those reimbursements.

This suit represents the first time in our nation's history that Congress has been permitted to sue executive branch over a disagreement about how to interpret a statute," Earnest said during his daily briefing. "These are the kinds of political disputes that characterize a democracy. It's unfortunate that Republicans have resorted to a taxpayer-funded lawsuit to re-fight a political fight they keep losing.

"Virginia high school students suspended for wearing Confederate flag apparel"

It is important for schools to want and try to create a safe and learning environment for their students, and different students had different beliefs and ideas based on their own color and race.

I think that the school taking away this could of had an affect on how the kids reacted. If you think about it when someone tells you not to do something you have a slight urge to go against what they are saying. These kids probably wanted to do the same thing, maybe just because they wanted to get under their skin, not because they were standing up for what they believe in.

"President Obama Claims He Cannot Pardon Snowden; He's Wrong"

I agree with Lauren because Obama had Pardoned people in the past even though they to hadn't been on trial, so his motives don't make since, I believe that his judgement is what is causing this. I don't believe he wants to pardon him, if he did, than this wouldn't be an issue, it already would be done.

I agree with Lauren because the president has enough authority to make those decisions.

The wounds from one of the fiercest election campaigns in American history were still raw Thursday as the campaign teams for President-elect Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton clashed while offering their behind-the-scenes perspectives at a Harvard University forum. At one point, Clinton campaign communications director Jennifer Palmieri told Trump's team, "I would rather lose than win the way you guys did."

"100 moments from Obama's presidency" President Obama's 8 years in office end in one more month. Here are many cool photos that span the two terms.

These pictures are so great, I can feel his passion, love and work he's put into this country. They show so many cool things you didn't think the president did and his warmth for this country and love for his family. Haven't see any pictures like this of any other leaders. I'm impressed.

My favorite picture was Obama was visiting the Sphinx, He wanted to seek a new begging with Muslims and the US, and thats good because not all Muslims are terrorists although many Americans think that.

A Nebraska sex offender with a history of registration violations has been sentenced to 33 months in federal prison. A news release from the office of U.S. Attorney Deborah Gilg says 36-year-old Joseph Reynolds must serve five years of supervised release after he leaves prison.

i think he should have more time in prison. just because he does it 5 years ago doesn't mean hes going to stop doing it. once a sex offender always a sex offender.

Reynolds is a coward. why have to serve federal prison time when all you have to do is register? not the brightest criminal.

It is fun to look at the graph of Apple's stocks, you can see where new products were announced and other major events like the passing of Steve Jobs. But reaching $500 a stock is amazing, then you compare it to Microsoft's stock of $32ish and you laugh at that company.

You have to look at the number of shares not the value. While Microsoft is only $32 a share, there are far more shares. By Microsoft splitting stock they can give more people the power to buy in. So in response to Brice stock price isn't important, it's stock history. I will admit Microsoft isn't as solid as Apple currently is but the $32 to $500 isn't a true reflection of the companies.

Even though Microsoft isn't that big and does not have that much money in shares, I would still go for Apple because if you have shares with Apple you can get a huge amount of money.

Irish police on Monday were searching for heart-stealer, with a twisted love of history. Officials at Christ Church Cathedral in Dublin said they're distraught and perplexed over the theft of the church's most precious relic: the preserved heart of St. Laurence O'Toole, patron saint of Dublin.

I hear space pirates are rampant this year.

I would steal that if I had the opportunity.

No one knows why Alfred Wright died. Or why the physical therapist and married father of three with no history of drug-abuse ended up in the Texas underbrush -- his body full of cocaine, amphetamines and methamphetamine.

poor people, they have to go through alot just by migrating to another country. Its horrible that they take advantage of them

This is crazy! People are wrong

reminds me of a movie

The devastating event took place on our planet many millions of years ago, but researchers are only now beginning to discover what happened. In a remote part of Central Australia, the two pieces of asteroid left what geophysicists say is the largest impact zone ever found on Earth, spreading over an area 400 kilometers (250 miles) wide.

Researchers are unable to find sediment layers in rocks that match debris from this time zone, which they were able to do for the asteroid that is theorized to wipe out the dinosaurs.

When the cops chasing Freddie Gray caught up with him, they had a problem: He had not done anything illegal. They solved that problem the way cops often do: They picked a charge after the fact. According to Marilyn Mosby, the state's attorney for Baltimore, that charge, carrying a switchblade, was legally unfounded.

Look at ALHS! 

Connor makes a good point. I think we will have to establish a school culture that bringing your laptop to class is as important as having your cell phone with you. Also, here is another article about our Google day. http://goo.gl/9GvQi

In high school I'm not sure how important it is for students to have their own laptops. English and history and the 2 mandatory classes that computers work well in. Science and math don't always work well, electives can use them, but not all of them. We really don't know how well this will work until next year. College on the other hand for seniors this year will require laptops, and chromebooks I don't think will work well for college. IM just going to stick with my Mac, does everything this machine does and more.

You probably know that a lot of iPhone apps log your locations so they can offer directions or geographic-based recommendations. But did you know the iPhone keeps a separate, locally stored history of everywhere you've been? Now you do!

(CNN) -- A teenage boy had a plan. According to authorities in Waseca, Minnesota, John David LaDue, 17, was going to kill his family, start a diversionary fire, set off bombs at an area school, kill the resource officer there and then shoot students.

Oh my God, if the police hadn't been tipped off there may have possibly been the biggest massacre in school history! This boy had a big plan, and I'm really glad it wasn't executed.

Why do people do this? It said he was close to his sister, why kill her?. It's strange that he to idolizes a previous school shooter.

All of the militants in Tuesday's school attack in northwest Pakistan have been killed, Peshawar police official Mohammad Aijaz Khan said. The Taliban stormed a military-run school in northwest Pakistan on Tuesday, gunning down at least 126 people -- most of them children -- in one of the bloodiest attacks ever in the history of the volatile Asian nation.

What if the current massive spying on Americans began with an innocent secret executive order signed by President Reagan in 1986? What if Reagan contemplated that he was only authorizing American spies to spy on foreign spies unlawfully present in the U.S.? What if Reagan knew and respected the history of the Fourth Amendment?

Interesting opinion. This article makes me reflect on that balance between our government keeping us safe and invading our privacy. Strange in a way to think that Americans have been having this battle with our own government since the Revolutionary War!
