    Go to Wikipedia's English home page and it will look like its regular self for a second, but then -   Wikipedia's English-language landing page. Go to Google's homepage, and you'll find its logo blacked out. If you click on the black box in its place (or the link below the search box), you'll be led to an invitation to petition Congress: "End Piracy, Not Liberty."   Google's homepage.

China to soften its one-child policy slogans, but not the law itself - 2 views

    The Chinese government isn't getting rid of its one-child policy currently in place. It's just making it sound better. China's communist party newspaper, People's Daily, reports that the government will revamp its abrasive-sounding slogans surrounding the policy. People's Daily cites several examples of "harsh slogans," including those "which sometimes even threaten criminal acts."

    Has there been any real results from installing the traffic cameras? I know that the ones by my house don't always work so it just seems like a waste of resources there. They have probably helped reduce the amount of people that step on it when the light turns yellow but does that really solve any problems? or just teach us to rive faster in order to avoid the red lights?

    I saw an article this summer which argues they cause more rear end collisions when drivers slam on the brakes to avoid a ticket. Interesting read on both sides of the issue from ABC news. http://goo.gl/JKwmO
  • Zac Brown on 02 Feb 12
     
    I believe that traffic cameras cause many people to become fearful of red light intersections. Because of their fear, they sometimes don't pay as much attention to their own surrounding
  • Alexis Daniels on 06 Feb 12
     
    i think they should get rid of the traffic cameras. ive almost hit someone bc they slammed on the brakes unexpectedly. they can be hazardous
  • Connor Gann on 09 Feb 12
     
    I agree with Zac And Alexis. I hate it when its counting down, and you have to determine if you want to stop or speed up. Its very stressful!
  • Jordan Smith on 13 Feb 12
     
    I think they should keep them. There good for safety and people can be more aware because they know they would get a ticket if not.
  • Anna Gahm on 14 Feb 12
     
    I think they should get rid of them, people are more scared to get a ticket than to slam on their breaks surprising the car behind them, causing a fender bender accident.
  • xhotxsoccerbabe on 29 Feb 12
     
    I agree with the ban. Sure, people run less red lights, but they have caused stoplights to be more of a danger. People start speeding more to make the light to not get a ticket or brake really hard and cause accidents.

    They invested millions into our city for the land and resources, not to mention the free programs they offer to our citizens. I don't see a problem with passing over the metro area for the beta testing of fiber optic broadband. Google gives us plenty of benefits they aren't obliged to.

    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?

    I think its a good law, people should be able to know who you are. If you really wanna protest, you shouldn't care.
  • Anna Gahm on 16 Feb 12
     
    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.
  • Brice Johnson on 16 Feb 12
     
    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?
  • Carrie Fuest on 16 Feb 12
     
    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.
  • Lauren Rommel on 16 Feb 12
     
    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.
  • Megan Cheney on 16 Feb 12
     
    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
  • Henry Black on 16 Feb 12
     
    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.
  • Derek Large on 16 Feb 12
     
    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.
  • Connor Gann on 16 Feb 12
     
    I think this should be a bill that becomes a law.
  • melloney keller on 16 Feb 12
     
    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!
  • Dustin Gibson on 16 Feb 12
     
    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.
  • awest520 on 16 Feb 12
     
    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
  • Jordan Smith on 16 Feb 12
     
    I think that they should show there faces. Its there choice to go, so then show yourself, dont hide.
