The photos North Korea didn't want you to see | News.com.au - 14 views

  •  
    "Using digital memory cards he smuggled out images of the communist nation he was forbidden to take. Mr Lafforgue wanted to show that North Koreans are humans, not robots, who also suffer."
  •  
    I think North Korea doesn't want these pictures to be published on the web because they do not want to show the ugly side of their country. The poor, working children especially.
  •  
    This was shocking. They must have good security in North Korea because I didn't know this side of North Korea. I'm on the photographers side in this position. North Korea has so tight of security on exposure of their country that they almost seem ashamed of their homeland.

    "President Obama is bringing together almost 50 countries here in the nuclear security summit not only to talk about protecting nuclear materials but that dangerous section between terrorism and nuclear weapons," Brett McGurk, Obama's envoy for the global coalition to counter ISIS, told CNN's Wolf Blitzer on "The Situation Room."

    I feel like ISIS obtaining a nuke would be catastrophic for the United States and the world in general.
  •  
    If ISIS would happen to obtain a nuke, the United States would definitely have to be on guard. Seeing how freely ISIS is willing to kill millions of innocent people.
  •  
    President Obama held a meeting with almost 50 countries to talk about the nuclear security summit. They talked about how they have and will keep protecting more and more land from nuclear weapons. They realize that terrorists will use them to kill as many people as possible and because of that they are doing everything they can to keep nuclear weapons out of their hands.

  •  
    "The Department of Justice has adopted a narrow interpretation of a law meant to bar foreign interests from corrupting federal officials, giving Saudi Arabia, China and other countries leeway to curry favor with Donald Trump via deals with his hotels, condos, trademarks and golf courses, legal and national security experts say."

    I disagree with the bill that prevents companies, such as Facebook and Twitter, from banning politicians. According to the bill, companies would have to notify people that their post will be removed/censored seven days before. I think that's too much time. The Capitol riot occurred within hours, not days. Also, it would also suggest that politicians are "special" and can get away with hateful posts for some time.
  •  
    I don't think they understand the first amendment only covers government institutions. They always site freedom of speech for things like this but companies have no reason to hold up that standard, they can censor any content they want because they aren't government institutions.
  •  
    I don't think this bill should be put in place. Like Jackie said, it makes it seem like politicians are special cases, and that they don't have to follow the online guidelines that we all follow.
  •  
    Florida shouldn't be able to control media outlets at all because they are all private entities that aren't affiliated with politics.
  •  
    I don't think that Flordia should be able to do this. They shouldn't be able to regulate what a privately own company does when a person using their product violates their rules.
  •  
    I completely agree with this idea. Social media cannot stop the president/ politicians from spreading their ideas and opinions as they shouldn't be able to for anyone else. They should get treated the same and if anything is better for us as people to see what they post and get better/ easier insights on their personal views. We have the right to know our president's views and they have the right to express them. Especially since so many people are on social media it helps educate people better than just reading what the news say that they say.
  •  
    I dont agree with this becuase it's dumb why would a state be able to control what a private owned company does or doesn't do.

Teen tweets a joke of the STARR test - 1 views

    Does the punishment fit his ¨crime¨ ?
  • ...4 more comments...
  •  
    I thought that was too extreme. I don't see how he caused a breech of test security.
  •  
    I believe that his punishment fits what he did.
  •  
    His punishment was too extreme. I understand he probably shouldn't have put it on twitter, but still, getting suspended for 4 days was a little much.
  •  
    He didn't do anything really wrong. Maybe he shouldn't have put it on Twitter, but still, it wasn't that big of a deal.
  •  
    That one little picture went a litter too far. His mom had a point, no answers or questions were shown in the picture, just the boys belief.
  •  
    It's a picture...saying yolo...on twitter. Yes, it's on a test, but I'd rather it be on a test (showing no answers so it's really not something to get this hyped up about) than carved into the side of my car.

Obama to nominate Hagel, Brennan for top national security posts - 0 views

  •  
    It's interesting to read about the controversy over Obama's pick defense secretary and counterterrorism adviser.
  •  
    I think it's fair to say that the criticisms made against Hagel are in the past now. He should be fit for the job. From a defense standpoint there will be a lot of issues at hand in this administration.
  •  
    I think Brennan is a wise choice because he's been around for awhile and seems to have a lot of knowledge about a lot of things.

Trump travel ban: Here's what you need to know - CNNPolitics.com - 8 views

    "Trump travel ban: Here's what you need to know"
  • ...3 more comments...
  •  
    I don't think trump should've did the ban because people are trying to escape out of where they live. I like how Canada was saying how they'll take them in so they know that they are welcomed.
  •  
    I thought America was supposed to help other countries and work with other countries, not ban travel and trade to those countries.
  •  
    His executive order is causing mass confusion all over. First the Homeland Security officials weren't given guidance about how the order would be effect everyone, then Trump apparently never ran the order by officials at the Justice Department. then people who were in the air flying weren't allowed to enter because they came form one of the seven countries even when they had a valid green card and visa! I think that trump needed to have a better plan in place rather than just jumping in on something he didn't think enough about.
  •  
    Trump said he was going to do these things in his campaign, but now that it's really happened people feel they need to protest everything. I think these next few years we'll have the most protest ever.
  •  
    I agree with kenzie because people are taking it so far with the protesting when then knew this was going to happen when Trump became president.

Bill C-309 | openparliament.ca - 18 views

  •  
    OK so it is not being proposed in the USA, but this bill recently introduced in Canada is pretty interesting. Think about the people in our country who protest, but don't want their identity to be shown. Would you support this bill or not?

    link seems broken... try this http://openparliament.ca/bills/41-1/C-309/
  •  
    I think its a good law, people should be able to know who you are. If you really wanna protest, you shouldn't care.
  •  
    I believe that if you truly believe in the cause, then you should have to face the consequences, even if that means losing your job or your reputation and status.
  •  
    This bill makes sense. Public safety is at the forefront of this bill, if a protest gets violent or other harmful/unlawful acts occur the persons the are held responsible will be able to be identified. But looking at it from the other side, people might want to conceal their identity at protests, or the masks are part of their protest(example Anonymous). If this bill passes people will be made, if it doesn't pass other people will be mad. Who is the Canadian government ok will making mad?
  •  
    This bill should be passed because if you're risking yourself by already being there, you should have to show your face. Also, if the situation ever turned violent, that person wouldn't get away with it because their face wasn't exposed so they could be identified.
  •  
    I think that this bill should be passed because the police should have the right to identify anyone who is protesting. If you want to protest, protecting your identity shouldn't be a major concern because you would want people to know who you are, and what you are speaking out against.
  •  
    I think if you are going to protest, you are there for a reason, that you strongly believe in, so you should not want to hide who you really are
  •  
    It should be considered that this is a trade for security by means of liberty. Sacrificing freedom for a small degree of protection. If this bill passes, it could easily snowball to other things (this may be a bit of a reach) such as controlling what you can wear altogether just so that you can be identified at all times just in case you might be possibly considering intending to commit a crime.
  •  
    As said in earlier comments, I think that if you want to protest IN PUBLIC then the public has the right to know who you are. If you want you can protest in your house and no one needs to know who you are. But out side of you cant hide from the public if your are going to stand outside with a big sign and yell out things in front of people.
  •  
    I think this should be a bill that becomes a law.
  •  
    I see it as your there or your protesting for a reason so why hide it. If your protesting you believe something is ether wrong or right so why hide your believes. If you don't want to be seen or noticed here's an easy answer don't go!
  •  
    I think that you should be able to wear a mask, because if you're protesting something that you believe in, or don't believe in, than it is a personal matter and you should be able to conceal your identity from the public.
  •  
    I think it might be better if you have to register to be part of a protest but to have the list sealed unless things get violent
  •  
    I think that they should show there faces. Its there choice to go, so then show yourself, dont hide.
