Prop. 8: Gay-marriage ban unconstitutional, court rules - latimes.com - 7 views

  •  
    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 like this gives everyone the right to be happy and finally we all get to stop fighting for this so hard.
  •  
    Im happy people are fighting for this. i think everyone should be happy with who they are.
  •  
    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.

  •  
    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."

    I have heard of this before. Poor kid though it would stink to go through this, however by the time that he would become older he would get to eat more foods.
  •  
    how is a child born with this disease? i would hate to be like that. i feel bad for the little kid.
  •  
    There was a story about a kid like this on true life as you get older you get to eat more.
  •  
    That must be really hard dang i feel bad
  •  
    I bet he makes some of the most creative dishes.
  •  
    poor kid. the thought of only being able to eat certain foods must be brutal.

    I think that would suck bad. i wonder how he feels.
  •  
    This is just awful. I hope he grows out of it.

Iowa Lawmakers Now Seek To Ban Traffic Cameras - 9 views

  •  
    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
  •  
    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
  •  
    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
  •  
    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!
  •  
    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.
  •  
    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.
  •  
    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.

Google Wants To Put Sat Dish Farm In Council Bluffs - 9 views

    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.

    i say no, i dont want those big ugly things taking up where i want to live. plus we dont know how many they want to put in and where
