MInecraft goes dark to protest SOPA - 3 views

    With Minecraft just passing 20 million users, this will bring large attention to SOPA. Gamers who would otherwise not care about the bill will now notice that their favorite sandbox game is offline and it will spark interest in the gaming community as a whole.

    It doesn't really matter, it's a matter of time before they create another one.

    My sister and I play this game all the time! It's gonna be weird shutting it down for a day.

Twins found dead in trunk - 9 views

    There are plenty of other ways to deal with an unexpected/unwanted pregnancy. Several things in this case just don't add up; did she really think no one would notice that her "baby bump" just went away, and there were no babies? How could she kill not one, but two of her own newborn children? She just carried them around for nine months...and she couldn't think of a better option such as adoption, giving birth at a hospital and then deciding she should drop them off at a safe haven, or if she really didn't want children, she could have had an abortion, though it is pretty much the same as what she did now, she wouldn't have given her children nine months to develop and live...it's a tricky situation.

Phoenix Cops Shot Homeowner Tony Arambula Instead of Intruder - ABC News - 9 views

    This is an old case, but brought up in a class discussion yesterday. From what I can find, this was settled out of court. Unbelievably, the cops were cleared of wrongdoing!

    This is a very scary and unfortunate situation that this family had to deal with..

Iranian supreme leader blames U.S., Israel for scientist's death - 2 views

  •  
    Im really not sure if I should believe that the US did this or not. Yes, we do not like Iran for their nuclear programs so I see we would do this, but I also believe that we would not sink so low that we wold kill him in essentially cold blood.

    Anyone interested in this should talk to me in class!
  •  
    WOO HOO!!! I love cookies. I was never a girl scout because most of my friends that were just complained of the drama within the troops. However, there are plenty of other activities you can do to gain the skills mentioned in this article. Just find something you like and stick with it.

Oklahoma Mother, 18, Kills Intruder Breaking Into Her Home While on Phone With 911 - Ya... - 9 views

    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.
