The Death of Free Speech on College Campuses - 6 views

  •  
    One of the truly delightful things about college is that it allows earnest young people to try out all sorts of ridiculous ideas without causing much lasting harm. After graduation, most will grow up and learn how to laugh at their prior selves. (The rest will become professors.)
  •  
    I don't get how doing this is a good thing, it may just cause more issues.

    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!
  •  
    It is sad to know how our society really is. You can't trust anybody these days, it seems like.

    The mother of the teenage boy arrested in connection with what has been dubbed the "Craiglist killings" in Ohio claims that her son was manipulated by the 52-year-old pastor with whom he was arrested on suspicion of three murders.

Presidential debates and their effects: An updated research roundup - Journal... - 12 views

    "Presidential debates and their effects: An updated research roundup"
  • ...5 more comments...
  •  
    I can't help but say that the debates are where we see the best/worst in a candidate not when were watching the news or reading a paper.
  •  
    I think that in this case they are just like getting back at each other and being dramatic like that isn't what presidency is about at all, and if they are being childish now who knows what the future holds, nobody wants a childish president.
  •  
    The debates have effected very little votes this time around, not to mention, the candidates just bicker like nine year old kids. It's a waste of everyone's time, we don't learn any more about their ideas, we just hear them attack each other on how one deleted emails and how the other is sexist and wants to build a wall.
  •  
    In the debate they were trying to attack each other and their private stuff like the emails Clinton had deleted and Trump saying he hasn't paid taxes and they haven't said anything about their plans to "try" and make America great again.
  •  
    The debates - at least so far - have only helped Hillary's increase of voters. It appears that more and more people are figuring out that Donald Trump can be compared to that kid in elementary school who always has the same comback of "I know you are but what am I?". Personally, I don't like either of our candidates because I'm against some of both of their views, but I believe the debates are a waste of time. The largest reason people watch - in my opinion - is to see how many times Trump will interrupt Hillary, and how much they bicker.
  •  
    The 2 candidates in my opinion are very in maturate. Neither of them should be running for president. Also I think more people are starting to realize how bad Trump is for our country because Hillary's increase of voters.
  •  
    The debates have only proven that voters are now leaning more toward Hillary instead of Donald Trump because it brought up his past statements and views.

California and President Trump are going to war with each other - 16 views

  •  
    President Trump had harsh words for one of his most fervent opponents during the pre-Super Bowl interview with Fox News's Bill O'Reilly that aired Sunday. Not President Vladimir Putin, mind you, whose alleged unpleasant habit of murdering journalists met with a shrug from the president. No, Trump lashed out at the nation's largest state, California.

    First he says that he is opposed to sanctuary cities, saying it breeds crime and goes on to say that "we have to well defend, we give tremendous amounts of money to California". But then when asked if that was his "weapon of choice" trump says, " I don't want to defend the state...If they're going to have sanctuary cities, we may have to do that." First he says this and then he says that, what IS his opinion here? Plus when he says that sanctuary cities breeds crime, but the FBI gives proof to show that it doesn't. Why can't he check his facts before he says something?
  •  
    So Trump wants to pull money from California's school, which is ridiculous it will make the US dumber than it already is, we have lost our rank in education. This war doesn't even make logical sense, taking money will never solve the problem. It will cause more.
  •  
    I think Trump sounds ignorant when he says that they breed more crime. Every city has crime and theres always going to be people that commit crimes no matter what
  •  
    Trump is stubborn, because of everything he wants to change on his terms states will start to rebel. He needs to learn to negotiate with others wants or the whole country will rebel and then it will be out of control.
  •  
    There shouldn't be a war at all, i don't really see the point of why he is going to take California's money. Maybe he should cut down some of our military money. Take money from something that is a lot more wide ranged than California.

Bees Are Bouncing Back From Colony Collapse Disorder - Bloomberg - 8 views

  •  
    I always thought it was pesticides alone were damaging the bee population. It's interesting to learn of the other factors leading to the lower populations.
  •  
    I'm happy that the bee's are bouncing back even though it isn't very fast. Also there are still quite a few problems for the bees that need to be taken care of.

ALHS students at the city council - 43 views

    Regardless of where you end up on this issue, it is good to see young people taking part in government for our own community.

    I can't believe they say were too young to understand. Just because were in high school we too young. its not right.
  •  
    I am proud of Emily for standing up for what she wanted. Not many people would be brave enough to do something like that..
  •  
    i think that its really brave of emily to stand up for what she wants and thinks that is the best. Not a lot of people would do it. But she is standing up for others and her opinion.
  •  
    I understand where he is coming from saying high schoolers are too young to understand this. This topic is all about money, where it is coming from, how much money is needed, how much they will get from it. We do not know what goes on behind the scenes of this deals. Maybe instead of saying we are too young he should of said we are uninformed.
  •  
    I like what Brice said, "we are just uninformed."
  •  
    I hate to say it but i have this intense urge to slap City Council member Matt Walsh...what because we are young we automatically don't understand? More like we have more on our minds then politics and gaining support by being popular with business owners.
  •  
    we have the right to say what we need to say. People have the right to say that they should not be in a public place or anywhere.
  •  
    I also think its good that students are trying to make good points on why they shouldnt own the MAC. There taking a part in this and trying to stop it. But will it help? We will see later on....
  •  
    If he has enough gumption to tell Emily that he is disappointed in her for collecting signatures from uninformed student then he should have enough knowledge to know that we won't know whats going on if we aren't educated on this topic and that it is the generations above us job to educate us and pass on what they have learned to the younger generation. So if he is disappointed in Emily then he should also be disappointed in himself for not doing his job.

Parole officer "empathy training" leads to a 13% drop in parolees' reoffending rates - 11 views

  •  
    I think this is a really interesting approach and I'd be interested to see if they did this with everyone what the results would be.
  • ...5 more comments...
  •  
    I really agree with this. I think that we should do more things like this for the public especially with people who are having trouble with the law. Instead of putting people in prison for nonviolent charges they can hopefully learn to live a better life before they commit a worse crime and end up serving life in prison. The purpose of prisons is to rehabilitate those who can't live in the public and I think that to a certain extent it does that but clearly, it's not doing enough.
  •  
    I think this is good because you never really know how somebody could feel until you up them to test and to see if they can feel Normal human emotions
  •  
    I like this idea and I think they should try and implement it in more areas. Helping people try to get better out of prison would do great measures because if no one helps them or tries to point them in the right direction, they will go back to their old ways.
  •  
    I feel like this was a really good idea and should be present in all parole officer's training. It allows them to see from a different perspective and open their eyes up a bit more. Helps people get out of difficult situations.
  •  
    I think this is a really good thing. I think it's super beneficial to the officers and the inmates
  •  
    This is a good idea and is beneficial for all who are involved. It seems like a good thing since it might help those who chose a wrong course of action onto a right one.
  •  
    I hope they'll be able to keep it up, it's super beneficial!

Volunteers provide oxygen as India's COVID-19 cases near 20 million | Reuters - 16 views

  •  
    Do you guys think they should go into a lockdown? Do you think we should join the UK in sending aid to them?
  • ...14 more comments...
  •  
    I think India should seriously considering going into a lock down, even for a few days or weeks. That way it can contain the spread of the virus outbreak. Last year, we learned about the dangers of not containing this virus. I also think the U.S. should join the UK in helping them. I know our country has it's own problems, but if we can -- even just a little bit -- we should help others in the world during these tough times.
  •  
    i think that india should go into lockdown. cases are rising and if they don't quarantine, it will continue to rise
  •  
    They should consider a lockdown. So many people are getting sick, it's the best way to go. If they don't, who knows what could happen?
  •  
    they should definitely go on lockdown because it will just get worse and worse if they do not do anything right now when they should.
  •  
    I strongly feel that India should go on a breathly lockdown. The virus could spread more than it already is. With caution and responsibility, I feel like the numbers would go down by a lot. Now that covid has been going on for more than a year, we should think and do more research of how we should help others.
  •  
    I think for a country like India it's more complicated then just going into a lockdown. They have a population much higher than countries that have been able to successfully have lockdowns which makes it inherently much harder. On top of this India socioeconomic makeup make up is substantially poorer than countries that have had lockdowns as well. For a lot of India's population a lockdown just isn't viable, and you can see this in what happened in America as well where poorer people worked through lockdowns and because of this in poorer areas COVID spread easily. However this is a large portion of India's population, so this is an area where America needs to start exporting our extra vaccines since we have already had major success in our vaccine roll out and this is a grave situation
  •  
    I think India needs to go on a heavy lockdown. It's important that they take a lot of precautions because the virus could spread more than it already is and prevent another world lockdown from happening and keep other people safe. It would also help their numbers go down and to keep the threat of it spreading contained.
  •  
    India should go on lockdown right now when they can before it gets even worse for the people/
  •  
    With the severity of COVID in India, I think they need to come up with a strategic plan to control the virus. Whether that means a heavy lockdown or something else it's important they do something now before it gets even worse. They are in a terrible place right now with the amount of COVID cases and I don't think anyone wants to know what it will be like if it continues to get any worse.
  •  
    India definitely needs a lockdown right now. With COVID cases rising so drastically, this is the best possible thing for them to do to hopefully slow the spread of the virus.
  •  
    Understandably the severity of COVID-19 is extremely high, but India is also a third world country that relies heavily on their work force to bring in any kind of revenue for their government. In a country like India the governments respect for the residents is slim so while they should go into lock down I don't believe they will.
  •  
    They definitley need a lockdown as soon as possible. That could be a huge mess for India if covid isn't solved. I do think the US could provide aid I don't see why we couldn't?
  •  
    They should go on lockdown, it'd benefit them so things don't get worse. They are suffering and need as much help as possible so we should help them.
  •  
    I do believe they need to go into lockdown very soon so they can try to help keep themselves safe.
  •  
    I think they should go into lockdown to make sure everyone is safe.
  •  
    I think they should go to lockdown since covid is very bad there.

What's behind Trump's push for 'patriotic education'? - 0 views

  •  
    I believe that students should be able to learn about history the way it happened and what really occurred instead of being one sided/sugar-coated.
