I think this is for the best. The rising in Covid cases in Iowas and the midwest alone is ridiculous. I believe that these restrictions are for the betterment of getting the virus under control. Everyone needs to follow this limitation if we ever want to better next year. From the looks of it, this pandemic might continue for more than a year if we don't abide by the rules they are giving to help us.

hopefully, this helps the cases go down

I feel we need these new restrictions I think they are helpful and now people might take it more seriously

I've heard many things about Biden being president, most predominantly gas going up and Kamala Harris taking over for Biden which I kinda see happening. I feel like they'll say Biden's mentally unfit or bring up the Hunter Biden stuff and Harris will take over.

I also think that a lot of people are going to struggle with the prices inflating. But I just hope that with Biden being president more people can be tolerant with each other since no one was doing then when Trump was in office.

I think that people who make a certain amount of money shouldn't have to pay more taxes, it's not fair.

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?

"So how do you get to $1 trillion in new tax revenue and ensure each party gets what it most wants? Here are two options."

I'm sorry, but this is ridiculous. We are talking about the preamble in government and what our nation should do to form a more perfect union, but yet some stranger for no parent reason goes and shoots little kids at a ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. What a perfect union we have.

This is very tragic to hear and many people are dealing with the losses of the children or relatives. Sometimes it make me wonder why we have an amendment the right to bear arms if things like this are happening. These were innocent kids with a bright future ahead. It was very devastating for everyone around the U.S to know things like this are happening in our society.

This is an article that I found that talks more about how to prepare for future shooting while also talking about this shooting. http://news.msn.com/us/analysis-how-prepared-can-we-be-for-possible-future-shootings

Wrong.

That is a serious topic for students.. It would personally be uncomfortable for me to write an essay for that.

I feel that the idea behind the assignment wasn't to necessarily portray that the teacher thought, and wanted the class to think, Jewish people as being evil but I feel that it is what ended up happening. The teacher could have picked hundreds of different essay topics ranging from abortion to zero tolerance polices that would have allowed students to write persuasively and not specify any one group in particular.

On one side were pegboard panels mounted with various assault rifles and semi-automatic weapons -- including a Bushmaster similar to the one used in last month's Newtown school massacre. Behind the stage stood police officers supporting a renewed ban on such firepower.

Defense Secretary Leon Panetta speaks at a news conference in London on Jan. 19. (Photo: Jacquelyn Martin, AP) WASHINGTON -- Defense Secretary Leon Panetta announced Thursday that the military will lift its ban on women serving in combat roles, which will open about 230,000 posts, including those on the front lines.

This history right here.

Let the women do what they want if they can help in the war that makes us stronger.

For three decades, the story of gun control was one of notorious crimes and laws passed in response, beginning with the federal law that followed the assassinations of Robert F. Kennedy and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in 1968.

Need to follow up on this story while discussing 2nd Amendment.

The images on national news television this morning are of fire, flood, wind, rain, snow -- and also New Jersey Governor Chris Christie and New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg. The two leaders of states devastated by Hurricane Sandy have been making frequent press appearances to inform the public and reassure beleaguered residents that help is on the way and areas devastated by Hurricane Sandy will be repaired.

When Green Party candidate Rich Whitney won 10 percent of the vote for Illinois governor in 2006, supporters hoped a new day for a party had arrived. Yet today, the Green Party holds just 10 elected seats statewide. None are in Chicago.

"Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte is known for his outspoken comments and controversial governing style."

It was a very unprofessional thing to say, especially about a fellow leader. Even if you disagree with someone that was taken out of hand.

That Philippines President Duterte needs to loosen up, he has bad thoughts about everyone, and says them out loud, whether they're a common citizen or a leader, and he's proving himself to be dangerous to others. He said, "You drug pushers, hold-up men and do-nothings, you better go out. Because I'd kill you." He also raped a woman of her dignity after she was dead saying, "What a pity...they raped her, they all lined up. I was mad she was raped, but she was so beautiful. I thought, the mayor should have been first." He called both President Obama and the Pope something inappropriate.

The director of the CIA has warned US President-elect Donald Trump that ending the Iran nuclear deal would be "disastrous" and "the height of folly". In a BBC interview, John Brennan also advised the new president to be wary of Russia's promises, blaming Moscow for much of the suffering in Syria.

"It's hard to measure the scale of his disruption. Now surveys the smoking ruin of a vast political edifice that once housed parties, pundits, donors, pollsters, all those who did not see him coming or take him seriously. Out of this reckoning, Trump is poised to preside, for better or worse."

When you first see that Donald Trump was named person of the year by TIME it really makes you wonder. After reading this article though it did answer many questions for me. For example, why? According to time it's not about being the best person it's more of who made a greater impact (good or bad). Which he did. He went from a casino owning business man, to President Elect Trump-- doing everything in his hands to influence the people of America to think in a pretty white way if you ask me. Either way, this was a good article it really did answer many questions I had. I bet this was the first time they voted someone person of the year by starting off-- hey it's not that we are on his side, but he made a big splash this year and we wrote on him.

I don't think he should be the person of the year because even though he says he is going to do good things and has done some good things he has also done very bad things and said things about people.

Russia's main opposition leader, Alexey Navalny, tells the BBC he's disappointed that US President-elect Donald Trump is ready to trust President Vladimir Putin.

A full repeal of Obamacare would cost $350 billion over the next decade, according to a new analysis from the bipartisan Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget. This makes its wholesale dismantling much more complicated. Obamacare was carefully crafted in 2010 so that it didn't add to the federal deficit -- in fact, it boosted revenues slightly.

If we took away Obama care it would hurt lots of people because they aren't going to have the help they need.

i think repealing it would be a terrible mistake because you just cant cut 20 million people out of insurnce.
