" Higher education is now free throughout the country, even for international students. Yesterday, Lower Saxony became the last of seven German states to abolish tuition fees, which were already extremely low compared to those paid in the United States."

I think it'd be wonderful if the US was able to do this. It'd open up so many more opportunities to students. Maybe not completely free, but if America could reduce the general cost of college it'd be wonderful.

(CNN) -- A massive church was razed to the ground this week in Wenzhou, a coastal Chinese city nicknamed the "Jerusalem of the East" for its large Christian population. Local officials responsible for the demolition say the church was an illegal structure that was four times the permitted structure size.

I think they should have stopped the construction a long time ago if they knew it was going to be too big. They had twelve years to figure it out, and not destroying enough, is no reason to destroy the whole church.

Prime Minister David Cameron urged Scottish voters Monday not to let their dissatisfaction with his government lead them to opt out of the U.K. "Please don't think: 'I'm frustrated with politics right now, so I'll walk out the door and never come back," he said, according to the Guardian.

They shouldn't be so quick to walk away from the U.K.

(CNN) -- It was supposed to be the couple's happiest day: Kelly Ecker, a nurse, and Dr. George Scott Samson married Saturday afternoon in Terre Haute, Indiana. By their wedding night, both were dead. Samson, an anesthesiologist at Union Hospital is Terre Haute, shot his bride and then himself in their home just hours after they exchanged vows, authorities said.

What?

Dude that is totally messed up!!!!! I think the police should have arrived with the first call or at least the second call was made, maybe she'd still be alive.

It seems weird to think that it could be legal soon to plan your own death...

Well if they are already going to die, it's their choice. Obviously don't give to people who aren't in chronic condition. I personally would love to have this choice instead of waiting months watching myself die. They have a right not to suffer

I understand where he is coming from. Having a rare killing cancer in your body, you can't do much. If the cancer does return and it's non curable I don't see why you would have to sit and wait to die.

"The marriage penalty results largely from the fact that the combined salaries of couples can push them out of the range of eligibility faster than if they were unmarried and their paychecks were treated separately."

I think that they shouldnt do that because what if they still dont have the money

This is absolutely crazy! This is a perfect example of police crossing the line of authority. He was killed because he wouldn't shut off the truck. His dad was trying to teach him a lesson, not kill him.

Sad stuff out there. And it kinda hits home considering this took place here in Iowa...

Not that I want to admit it, but last year I got in HUGE trouble because I told my mothers car multiple times without permission. What if they would have wanted to teach me a lesson? Would I get killed just because I had a moment of bad decisions? This makes me think how easily this could have been me.

The Washington Post 23 hrs ago Abby Phillip In late August, American Airlines accidentally flew the wrong plane from Los Angeles to Hawaii, a mix-up that violated Federal Aviation Administration regulations. The mistake, first reported by aviation blogger Brian Sumers, occurred on Aug.

If that was the wrong plane to fly then why was it there? You'd also think that they would realize that it's the wrong plane before take off or shortly after take off.

"Teaching grownups: Cancer charity says school can learn from girl banned for going bald"

She shouldn't have been punished for this. Why is shaving your head against the dress code? It doesn't make sense.

I've gone to Grand Junction a lot as a kid and know people there, so it surprises me to find out that they are discriminating a cancer patient at a school.

It had been planned as a vigil, but the service quickly turned into a memorial once the news broke that Ebola had killed Eric Duncan, the virus's first victim in the US.

I think it's awful and so unfortunate that at a time like this the family can't be at Eric's funeral. I can't begin to imagine how it would be to have to handle that and be quarantined in a house away from other family members even until the 21 day incubation period is over.

Poor guy.

I think they should get him out peacefully if possible and interrogate him to find out why he did it and who he did it for. If they can not get him out peacefully they should use force to get him and protect the hostages that he has fortunately not hurt so far.

(CNN) -- A night of triumph for San Francisco baseball fans was marred by shootings, fires and arrests. Police said at least two people were shot in San Francisco amid celebrations for the Giants' victory over the Kansas City Royals on Wednesday night, CNN affiliate KTVU said.

I think that people need to act like human beings and not animals when something great in sports happens.

People need to be respectful and not act out when something like this happens in sports

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry hails the new administration as a "major milestone" Iraq's parliament has approved a new government, setting the stage for expanded U.S. military support to battle the Islamic State of Iraq and Greater Syria (ISIS).

I think its good that John Kerry is planing to stop a terrorist group.

"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.

Bud Gillett Bud is the most veteran reporter at CBS 11 News with 42 years in m... From Our CBS Music Web Sites WAXAHACHIE (CBS 11 NEWS) - A blocks-long chase of a stray emu ended with police having to put the animal down for attacking a human.

They could have tranquilize the emu.

It was right to kill the animal because it was a threat to humans

In the five months since Jan Morgan banned Muslims from her gun range in Hot Springs, Ark., business has boomed and predictions of a lawsuit brought by federal civil rights enforcers have so far proved inaccurate.

That's really wrong that they ban people based on their religion. There is millions of Muslims around the world and ban their freedom because of something someone else did is wrong!!

I understand that she wants to keep potential terrorists out of her gun range. But as long as they are legal American citizens, they have a right to be able to join a private gun club. She is jumping to conclusions by assuming that every Muslim is a terrorist, by kicking out people of different religions such as Hinduism, and by someone being "brown" in color.

That's what CDC epidemiologists call carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae or CRE, which kill up to half the patients who contract them. The family of superbugs made headlines two years ago when the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warned they were spreading.

I think that we should be careful because this sounds like a serious topic.

This is why there has been rules and regulations for years about washing hands and sanitation. I agree with the last paragraph of the article about doctors not jumping to prescribe antibiotics, as bacteria over the years have become resistant to it because of all the antibiotics. It's sad that some antibiotics that can kill this super bug can cause other health issues to us. Medical providers have to very careful not to spread such bacteria around and be careful about the antibiotics and medicines they provide to patients.

"The new defense spending bill includes $120 million for tanks that the Army has repeatedly said it doesn't want."

I think that congress should quit spending money on things we don't need. The military has repeatedly told them not to make more, but congress keeps having more made by spending money to keep the factories running.

The shocking images of a Jordanian Air Force pilot being burned alive in an outdoor cage by ISIS terrorists have galvanized the country, once seen as possible fertile recruitment ground for the group, behind King Abdullah II's calls for a stepped-up military campaign.

I think that Jordan is doing the right thing because what ISIS did was very inhumane and they deserve to be fought back. They can't just go around burning people alive just to give a message.

ISIS burning a pilot and video taping it is very inhumane and they deserve to be punished for their actions. Jordan is doing the right and uniting as a country to avenge one of their own. Jordanians standing behind their King and their military is good for their country and good for taking down ISIS.
