10 injured and at least it wasn't a soccer game throws can get really bad.

Football fans aren't even being true fans these days. If they truly respected their team, maybe they'd respect their teams rules. Football has made every go crazy these past few years, i have never seen so many fights, or posts just about football. It's a game... not your life, get over it, don't hurt people just because your psycho.

Rushing the field can be dangerous in some situations. You just need to be smart about what you are doing..

we learned today that the federal system is where local and national government share power. This person apparently never learned this. He seems to think Obama is a demon for believing the federal government has power. GASP, a government with power whatever shall we do!?!?!?

Here is the wikipedia article about the "Occupy Movement" to help make this cartoon more clear. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occupy_movement

The pepper spraying cop has become an internet meme already: http://goo.gl/in1PY

I think this is the perfect example of legitimacy issues... http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/internet-memes-sprout-around-occupy-movement-from-pepper-spraying-cop-to-occupy-sesame-street/2011/11/23/gIQA0BLApN_story.html

this may not be gov. related but i consider this politics

this isnt really a gov but if it was i think i would agrre with the politics.

That's pretty "low-jack"ed up.

I think that they should need a warrant to be able to track your car with a GPS..

LONDON - 's Revolutionary Court has sentenced to death a former United States Marine of Iranian descent for spying for the , the semiofficial Fars news agency reported on Monday. He was named as Amir Mirzaei Hekmati, 28. Prosecutors charged that he received espionage training at American bases in Afghanistan and Iraq before infiltrating Iran.

i dont think a death sentence is appropriate and could cause relations to strain

no, this is wrong. the government should not be spending so much time tracking us. its fascist. The more we give our liberties away to the government, the more they are going to try and take. with how much peoples personal lives are wrapped up in electronics, it is imperative that we retain our rights. its just a invasion of privacy. either way, with the economy issue i think the last thing we should be wasting money on is recording where the johnson family went for vacation.

This is unethical. I don't want a "1984" by George Orwell to happen

This is sad. People need to realize that words hurt.

Bullying needs to stop. I dont get why people have to be so rude to others.

Yeah honestly people take words hard cause words do hurt but some people are just so cruel that they dont care what they say to people and they dont think about other people feelings

Wed, Jan 4, 2012 9:01 AM EST 911 operator told young mother she could not shoot until man entered her home. Multiple reports of a dozen orcas have whale watchers thrilled in Orange County. Higher gas prices will push the cost of coffee, breakfast items up across U.S.

This is a very interesting situation. I feel bad for that new mother because she had just lost her husband, and then someone tried to break into her house 5 days later.. I think this is a justified shooting as well.

what were they thinking this was to fare!

this is bad...but extremely funny, if you're stupid enough to go through with hazing...you kinda asked for it...

I don't understand why people would even do that it is rediculous.

If you ever worry about the future of America, there is no need: it is in good hands. A high school student named Angela is proof of that. We think you'll agree she is nothing short of amazing. CBS News correspondent Steve Hartman met her on the road.

This is great!!! People have much to look forword to with this girl around. We really need more people like her.

This is great news. This might trigger a domino effect on the rest of the nation on gay marriage rights. I feel after the 2008 vote on Prop 8 the whole country, not just California, closed the doors on their rights.

I feel like the government shouldnt be able to control who you marry regaurdless of their gender. If you love them you love them. Gay marriage should be allowed in every state.

I'm all for people getting married to who they wish. It's their choice, they should be able to do what they want to be committed and forever bonded.

I think that there should be no problem with what they say getting out into the public. Why should they be censored when we are trying to know what kind of a person they are?

I agree, this degree of censoring isn't just. Where's our First Amendment? And if a government official changes a quote later, then that just means they are not being genuine all the time.

I also agree, when it comes to government officials telling the public their viewpoint, nothing should be censored or revised. The people want to know the truth, no matter what side their on. Politicians are well known as liars and crooks, why does it have to be that way?

Oops. I didn't see that Jeremy had already posted the original article on here. This isn't meant as a rebuttal to his article.

Even if this was a rebuttal to what I posted I think that's a good thing that you put this up. I tend to post news stories that my friends/family send me so I may not always find stories that show views from the other side. It's important to look at issues from all sides to form a proper opinion on things.

Interesting that we talked about the death penalty (8th Amendment issue) in class and then this story pops up! Do you guys feel the death penalty is an acceptable punishment? Is lethal injection the way to go or is there a more humane alternative?

I don't understand the death penalty. Sitting in jail for the rest of your life seems like a better way to punish killers rather than just killing them.

The simple fact behind the death penalty is that the person on death row can not harm or attempt to harm anyone in prison or out cause the people on death row are apparently a danger to everyone around them. Letting someone like that into prison is just going to set them free. They can now kill and get away with it all they are surrounded by is people that did bad so who will care in their mind. Death is the only way to make that not happen.

Is it wrong that I'm smiling? More unfolding in the Christie scandal. Let's hear what y'all think!

"(CNN) -- Can cruel words really kill? The answer, unfortunately, is yes. "

To be honest, I see that many people at our own school don't take much or any effort to put an end to bullying. Fights are often being encouraged instead of someone trying to stop it, and it's not hard to come across a post that is negatively directed at another student here. People need to start realizing the impact words and actions make, whether it's verbal or over a text.

No one should ever feel like suicide is there way out. Though bullying is so wrong in many ways how will the bullies be charged? These kind of things are tricky to go about because of people exercising their "freedom to speak." Something has to be done soon before any more lives are taken.

It appears Russia conducted a missile test that would technically be banned under the 1987 treaty. The US government hasn't officially warned Russia that it's technically a "violation," but it could be possible they've been testing stuff like this since 08...

This is interesting because I would have thought that the US government would have jumped on the opportunity to call another country out if they broke the terms of a treaty. I also don't know why the missiles are such a big deal because they were just testing them out. They weren't firing the missiles at anyone. It could still be a danger but until that happens I don't really think we should worry about it.

"A group of legislators in Maryland has introduced legislation that would deny state support to federal agencies engaged in warrantless electronic surveillance in a move aimed at curtailing the National Security Agency's power to monitor and track citizens"

I think the majority of us can say that we aren't too much for government spying on everyone. Glad to hear people are actually trying to change stuff instead of simply talking about it.

"A federal judge in Missouri ruled this week held that drivers have a First Amendment right to flash their headlights to warn other motorists of nearby police and speed traps. "

Motorists flash lights at each other to warn about lots of different things, such as animals on the road, police being nearby, or slick roads. It would cause more harm than good to outlaw it.

I think the person above me says it well. I don't see a HUGE problem with allowing the lights to be flashed in these situations (though I can see why some may be opposed).
