Just interesting. Iowa and many other states are at $7.25 per hour which is the federal minimum. The highest is Washington with $9.19 per hour.

All I gotta say: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p9aXaeheYFw&oq=make%20money%20money&gs_l=youtube..0.5j0l9.230.2220.0.3225.18.10.1.2.2.0.291.1751.1j6j3.10.0.eytns%2Cpt%3D-27%2Cn%3D2%2Cui%3Dt.1.0.0...1ac.1.11.youtube.iTys_8HpYtw

I would love for minimum wage to be increased..but honestly I'm scared for other things to be increased also.

"The Google-owned company also removed 100,000 videos, a spike in takedowns since its new hate speech policy went into effect in June."

it seems kind of stupid to me that they would do that usually they will give people a warning to take down the video that violates there rules but I guess they decided to just give up on them.

I think that the arguments arising around Youtube, Facebook, etc. are interesting. Because, while they are private corporations with the ability to regulate their material how they please, they are also communication platforms. And being communication platforms, they have to conform to certain laws. They have to guarantee everyone a right to be seen and heard.

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?

This should be a reminder to watch tonight's Presidential debate. 

I hope if SOPA passes, these guys hurry up so I can watch YouTube again.   ;-)

fantastic! this is going to be so awsome!

This is probably the smartest reaction to SOPA!

"Even though it was happening to some degree before this year, the activity has picked up since the FCC decision to change the rules."

I read about this in my free time, and I thought that this was the WORST decision that the FCC had ever made.

Hilarious metaphor, and seeing the reactions of the customers was priceless. Although it's quite disheartening that the majority did not know what Net Neutrality was.

I think that this is fake

I think that this was a perfect way to explain what net neutrality was and what it protected. I also think that the exaggeration of it made it even better.

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.

people should get help and not post suicidel comments or videos on social media

Powerful speech given in favor of Gay rights to the Iowa Legislature from a University of Iowa Student who was raised by two mothers.

"I love lakes." I don't think I need to summarize this. It's Mitt Romney.

This is totally great. I think it made a great comparison between racism and being against gay marriage. I highly recommend watching this.

Religion is based off of your own personal faith and beliefs and with so many different versions and beliefs you can't let one person say what it means and stereotype that religion. You also have to consider the fact that things change with time, people evolve and so do thoughts. Like Snider showed in the video, we once thought that racism was right and accepting other nationalities was against their religion.

As I have said before, religion should have no influence when it comes to government policy. As for the bible, I could point out many things wrong with the bible, and the idea that Christianity not supporting gay relationships. I will not, simply out of the urge as to not ruin peoples views on religion. What I will say, is that the bible should also have no say on our government as well. Religion should, and is, also limited in the US, contrary to popular belief. Religion has been limited to 1st, no human sacrifice. (We don't need them crazy beheading Aztec's coming in and just start slicing peoples heads off right?) Second, separation of church and state. That right there means religion is not allowed to say, "You can't be gay, ban gay marriage." (And oddly, it still managed to happen.) I'm really looking forward to the supreme courts ruling on this, as long as they decide to take the case.

"Late last month, she tweeted a photo of her outfit, and the post circulated through Saudi Arabia, drawing death threats and demands to imprison or even execute the woman. On Monday, police in the country's capital of Riyadh said they had arrested the woman"

I know it is their culture but the woman should get freedom, shouldn't be forced to wear the hijab all the time in public. It's a disgrace, you should be able to do/wear what you please.

It is so crazy how around the world women are held to higher or even lower expectations when it comes to, education, clothing, physically beauty and intelligence. How is it even possible to imagine a world where the clothes you wear lands you into jail? There is justice that needs to be served her to have an innocent women in jail. There has to be something that is done for the world when it comes to woman suffrage. The hard part isn't going through with a plan to do that, the hardest part is finding a plan-- to do just that.
