With nearly 1 billion users, Facebook has clearly become a feature of many people's lives worldwide. A new study suggests that the social network has the potential to get hundreds of thousands of people to engage in a single behavior - namely, voting.

Super interesting article. I am curious if anyone will comment here about whether they think their decisions are influenced much by social media. This article has an equally provocative link on Obesity and STD's gained from social networks http://edition.cnn.com/2009/TECH/10/24/tech.networks.connected/index.html

I think that this article, although biased, gives a good overview of how divided the conversation of the Second Amendment really is in the united States.

From what I have heard, the security at the embassy that the ambassador was killed in may or may not have been lacking, which would have been a major oversight.

The death penalty scares me, I have watched movies where they kill people this way and it is cruel. I don't think anyone should be put to death if they are in prison for a crime I think they should do their time. They should sit and rot in prison for the rest of their life, but they are in prison for killing, etc...and then we do the same to them, I don't get it.

I think we need stay out of overseas activities like this. It doesn't matter if we did everything legally, it's still wrong.

i dont think anyone should go on death row i think they should give them a life sentence and be kept alive that way they feel guilty later on about what they've done and little by little they'll start going crazy and eventually try suicide because they wont want to be locked up forever but the cops wont let them hurt themselves so then they'll be getting even more crazy go psycho probably.....its like self torture for them:)

First congressmen to out himself by choice.

the race begins

This is the speech of Severn Suzuki, at the time a 12 year old girl who stood up in front of the UN to give voice to those who didn't have one. Read the speech and watch the video at home if you can. It's true and motivating, but it's sad that we haven't seen a change yet.

Thats great. someone is finaly telling the gov't that they are a screw up and that they need to fix themselves. hopefully they will lisen to her.

This is such an inspiring speech.

The price of gasoline is damaging not just Americans' finances and mobility -- but the public's broader economic sentiment, and with it, Barack Obama's re-election prospects. With gas up 26 percent this year to an average $3.88 a gallon, seven in 10 Americans in this ABC News/Washington Post poll report financial hardship as a result, six in 10 say they've cut back on driving -- and, among those hardest hit, Obama's ratings are suffering.

If gas prices stay low I believe Obama's ratings will go up!

This is so true!

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- AT&T and T-Mobile hinted this Thanksgiving that their merger may be off, but the unpalatable repercussions of ending their eight-month pursuit of a deal suggests they may be playing a game of turkey.
