Virginia move to abolish death penalty part of broader wave of change - CSMonitor.com - 1 views

I think death penalty shouldn't be a round anymore but however I think it should be only used if you killed another person on purpose or multiple people.

With COVID-19 Relief Passed, It's Time for Democrats to Destroy the Filibuster - 0 views

    With the Filibuster in place, nothing gets done. The Filibuster allows the minority of congress to block popular legislation. Ignoring the often unrepresentative nature of the congress, this is a serious problem that isn't even enshrined in the constitution. What are your thoughts on the Filibuster?
  • noahsandbothe on 27 Apr 21
     
    I agree, an example of this would be the 15 Dollar minimum wage increase. 62% of Americans support the increase but since the filibuster is in place the minority Republicans will continuously block the bill.

    I think that being able to tow a trailer or car behind a truck should be something that anyone could do, but things like this make me think that there needs to be some type of additional training when doing so. What are your thoughts?
  • ericschmidtberge on 22 Mar 21
     
    I think it would be a good idea to require some form of training to be able to tow things on busy roads where others are in danger but I think for short distances on smaller less active roads there should be no training. In my opinion, it's the driver's responsibility to make sure they don´t destroy their vehicle but I also didn't think about the other people that could be killed for just driving near someone towing something the wrong way. In that case, I think there should be some sort of training so that others on the road are not at risk.

    As the article says, since the pandemic started they have been getting a lot of hate because of the virus. Asians have a lot of fear to go outside and live their "normal" life before the pandemic. There have also been a lot of racist comments towards them such as "you brought the virus over here". Racism still happening is terrible and sad.

    The second dose really does have stronger side effects. My mom got her vaccine because she works with law enforcement and she was sick for a few days after she got hers and she said when she woke up the morning after her shot that it felt like someone hit her in the arm with a baseball bat.
  • hannahliwai on 22 Mar 21
     
    yes, the second dose does have side effects, but the same thing happens with the flu vaccine. the only difference is that this vaccine doesn't actually inject you with the virus. it just sends antibodies to teach your body to fight it.
  • rosellyrosas on 23 Mar 21
     
    This article talks more in-depth about what coronavirus vaccines do to your body. For example, it talks about how the first vaccine teaches your body how to react to the virus. With the second vaccine, you will more than likely be getting more side effects. According to the article, no matter how many side effects people will get, the vaccine will still be working in your body. What are your guy's thoughts about the vaccine?

    I think that even though it has stronger side effects people should still consider getting the vaccine. The stronger side effects may be rough, but I'm sure getting Covid is worse.
  • sydneykolln on 26 Mar 21
     
    The article discusses how the second Covid shot will most likely hit harder than the first. It talks about how that's actually a good thing because these common symptoms are typically signs that the vaccine is working. While I have had friends that have suffered from the second shot, I would still get the shot because it's better than getting Covid.
  • masonmascarenas on 29 Mar 21
     
    I think that because the side effects are stronger we should allow the vaccine more time for development, but we should still consider getting it.

    I think that even with the second shot having more side effects we should still get it because it is our only option at this point but I do also think that there needed to be more time for the vaccine to develop and for us to know if it could really effect us in the future.
  • bflores247 on 29 Mar 21
     
    I completely trust the Maderna vaccine as my dad was part of the trial for it and he had no problems with it (he didn't have the placebo, he had the actual vaccine), and that's good enough for me, if he was fine, ill most likely be fine.
  • abbidominguez on 13 Apr 21
     
    I think although the second dose has stronger side effects it shouldn't stop you from not getting the vaccine at all. I think the vaccine is our only chance of getting rid of COVID and it will only work if the majority of Americans get it. At the end of the day, I think the side effects of the vaccine can't be as bad as the long-lasting effects COVID can have on you.
  • vperez191 on 13 Apr 21
     
    The COVID shot reminds me of the flu shot because when you get the flu shot it is normal to get sick afterwards or have pain but it will prevent you later from getting the flu. Even though the covid shot has side effects it is still good to get it because it will prevent you from getting COVID
  • ericschmidtberge on 14 Apr 21
     
    Even though the second dose has strong side effects I think that it's vital that everyone gets vaccinated if we ever want to return to normal life. I got my first dose last week and besides a sore arm and being a little thirsty I was fine. It affects people in different ways so I could get no side effects when I get my second dose or I could get a ton of negative ones. It's only for 48 hours according to the article and I´m willing to endure the risk of being sick if it means making the world hopefully safe and normal again.
  • arosas733 on 14 Apr 21
     
    I think its really your choice. I personally believe I do not need to be getting a newly made vaccine that no one knows the possible future effects from it. If I get Covid I get it and I feel it's more important for older people to get the vaccine if they like, you do you. But as well as the J & J vaccine, I feel it is unneeded things being put into your body where there has already been multiple of horrible results from people getting the vaccine. You won't be seeing me vaccinated.
  • lhunter952 on 19 Apr 21
     
    Personally, I would not get the vaccine because nobody knows what it is going to do to you later. If there are no long-term effects and it truly does protect you from the virus then I completely understand why you would get it. The thing is, no one 100% knows so I would be very hesitant to get it.
  • nick_rice on 19 Apr 21
     
    I think you should get the vaccine but you should not be forced to get it. If someone is worried that the vaccine is not safe then they should not have to get it if they do not want it.
  • kredding147 on 19 Apr 21
     
    Even though it has stronger effects I still think everyone should consider getting vaccinated. Of course, there should be no forcing anyone to get vaccinated, it's just important that everyone weighs their options. I was really really sick with Covid earlier this year and it was awful. If I can do my part to protect myself and everyone else I'm going to do it.
  • allisonwalker on 19 Apr 21
     
    I think that it's a good thing since as the article said, it means it's working. If there is a chance for people to be able to not get the harsh effects of COVID-19 then maybe they should get the shot so they can be prepared for it. Idk.
  • saraivargas on 19 Apr 21
     
    It's still in the works so of course it's going to have different/stronger effects.
  • bklopp601 on 19 Apr 21
     
    I believe that we all should take the second dose because it will help with Covid and in fact it's definitely stronger than the first one.
  • eballenger on 19 Apr 21
     
    I think that people should be able to decide if they want the second dose or not, but I hope they do.
  • jtaulborg103 on 19 Apr 21
     
    I think more Americans should get the vaccine despite the side effects the vaccine has on them. It's our best chance of not catching or spreading the virus meaning that we can return to our normal lives. A couple of days of the side effects the vaccine has on them outweighs the long-term effects of not getting the vaccine including the fact that if you get COVID, there's a possibility your symptoms from the virus will last even after you're free of spreading the virus.
  • kinziekat02 on 19 Apr 21
     
    I agree with everyone's comments, even though the second dose has worse effects i think people should try to get it because other wise we'll never "go back to normal"
  • redrose99875 on 20 Apr 21
     
    I think we should stick to the vaccine that we KNOW works best
  • peytongrenoble on 18 May 21
     
    I think that since it is common for everyone to have these worse effects, it is going to be known as not affecting certain people. If the effects are only covid symptoms that aren't super deadly, then I think it should be okay? I think that the people who are getting it are being vulnerable and helpful for those who are nervous and reluctant to get the vaccine.
  • mgerman776 on 24 May 21
     
    Side effects of a vaccine are totally normal, it's like when you get the flu vaccine some people do get sick. Either way, it's your best hope is not getting covid. What else are you gonna do besides harm others more prone to the disease?

    Some people think the NCAA is still playing favoritism between Men's and Women's basketball. Having smaller gyms, Haveing women courts being played on the same that volleyball games use, Having the men's basketball TV Schedule name be "NCAA Basketball Tournament " and not be identified (A little confusing point but people had an issue. ) So what do you think of the 3 problems above? What other changes do you think need to be made?

    I think giving the women a new weight room was the right thing to do. They are both playing in one of the biggest college tournaments in the US and they deserve to be treated fairly. I also think it's great that some big-name NBA players came forward to address the situation to help bring more attention to it.
  • lhunter952 on 29 Mar 21
     
    Giving the women the better weight room was definitely the smart choice. They definitely deserve it, but I see why it wasn't there in the first place. The NCAA loses money every single year having a women's tournament so they just put more money into where they were getting the most money. It was still not fair at all and the girls don't deserve that.
  • sydneykolln on 29 Mar 21
     
    I believe that it's insane that this situation even happened. If the women had just gotten a weight room like the men's from the beginning, then this whole situation could have been avoided. It's honestly laughable that officials gave the women just a single rack of dumbbells thinking that it would be fine. In all, I'm glad that they fixed their mistake but this situation could have been easily avoided.
  • arosas733 on 29 Mar 21
     
    I think that it was a messed up situation it was like that before and that should have happened a while ago. The women's team deserves a good gym to work out in with the right accessible tools to get their workouts in. They should be having the support to grow individually and as a team.
  • redrose99875 on 29 Mar 21

    I think giving the women a new weight room was a good choice, it's good that they addressed the problem. But the fact that it was a problem in the first place is kind of ridiculous. It could have been easily avoided if they had just given the women's team a proper weight room to begin with.
  • carsonschaa on 12 Apr 21

    I've looked into this bill a lot and at this point, it is Republican Lawmakers trying to get the more densely populated areas of Georiga to not be able to vote as easily. Typically the more heavily populated areas of any state are typically Democratic. So to me and many others, it's pretty easy to see they are trying to suppress Democrat Votes to make it so a Democrat will never win Georiga again.

    In an ideal world, Biden wouldn't run so that a more popular progressive candidate could run. Unfortunately, Biden likely will run for re-election at the end of his term, or the DNC will push hard for another milquetoast centrist if he doesn't.
  • jackiegonzalez on 29 Mar 21
     
    I agree with Brandon. I don't think Biden is the best president out there. From what I saw, many people only voted for him to get Trump out of office. However, from what I read in the article, Biden was confident when he said, "Yes. My plan is to run for reelection. That's my expectation." As the current newly appointed president, it's good that Biden responded confidently even if he doesn't run again. He would have looked weak if he said anything else. Also, why are reporters asking this question so soon? Biden has only been in office for like three months. The press is just trying to hurry up life.
  • allisonwalker on 29 Mar 21

    I don't think he will end up running again by the end of his term and I don't think he should either as he has labeled himself as a bridge president I think it's illogical to run again. him winning the presidency creates some momentum for the party and it's pretty obvious that from here some more democratic candidates will come forwards vying to be the top candidate, and I don't think Joe Biden coming to join them would be of any benefit and it would probably stand more as a division within the party. Joe Biden pretty much just stood as anti-Trump in this election for people so when people have the option to choose for another candidate I don't think many would choose Biden.

    I agree with Jackie, it's too early in Biden's presidency to be asking whether or not he'll run again. I'm sure he'll try to run again, but I'm not sure how successful he'll be. Many people just voted for him because they didn't want Trump in office, so I'm doubtful they'll vote for him when there are other options.

    I agree with most of the comments. It´s too early to tell if Biden will run again especially since it's only been a few months. Depending on what he does in the office and the feedback he gets will dictate if he runs again. I do feel that Biden was sort of elected just to get Trump out of the office and I hope that in the next election there's a better option besides just the one main factor was he wasn´t Trump. Either way, I look forward to following the rocks campaign.
  • rosellyrosas on 20 Apr 21
     
    I personally think that Biden will not run for president in 2024. I think it is also too soon for anyone to say anything since it hasn't been a year.

  • arosas733 on 21 Apr 21
     
    I agree with most of the comments that it is too early to tell, I think there is a chance he will run again but I don't see him getting voted in again. At least hopefully by then, we'd have better people to choose from as well. But especially cause of his age and him already being slow in general, it is unlikely for him to run again.

You'd have to be living under a rock to have not heard about this case and formed some kind of opinion.

    I really agree with this. I think that we should do more things like this for the public especially with people who are having trouble with the law. Instead of putting people in prison for nonviolent charges they can hopefully learn to live a better life before they commit a worse crime and end up serving life in prison. The purpose of prisons is to rehabilitate those who can't live in the public and I think that to a certain extent it does that but clearly, it's not doing enough.

    This is a good idea and is beneficial for all who are involved. It seems like a good thing since it might help those who chose a wrong course of action onto a right one.

    "U.S. President Joe Biden asked Congress to sharply hike spending on climate change, cancer and underperforming schools, but his first budget wishlist on Friday drew howls of bipartisan concern over military spending."

    How do you guys feel about this act? Do you think they should pass this bill again?

    Both side are going to pull their own narritive for who or what killed George Floyd however it is weird to see how the defense of the office pulled in the racial difference between the two.

    Justice has been served in this case but if there was true justice George Floyd would still be alive. This is a good step but it's not nearly enough.

    I don't think we should celebrate the bare minimum of putting away a murderer. While he is locked up, there are so many other's out there spreading the same harm and sharing the same narrative towards their fellow comrades. So many officers get away with a plethora of crimes, and some just stand by and watch. There can't be any"good ones" if they stand by and watch it happen without saying a word when they have the power to do so.

    I agree with Sarai. There is so much racism that takes place in the police force, the death penalty, the government, and our overall society. People have fought against racism for decades. And winning one case, while it may be a starting point, is not something to celebrate when people of color have struggled so much.

    I think it is good that we locked him up but I also think we need to do more about this kind of stuff. This stuff seems to happen often and something needs to be done about it.

    Something needs to be done, so something like this doesn't happen and more lives can be kept.

    The fact that a guilty verdict for Chauvin was even a surprise is a very bad thing it's good that there's finally some progress though.

    It seems like no one tried to help him, but that's what I'm thinking about from reading this passage.
  • peytongrenoble on 10 May 21
     
    I personally don't understand how people thought he would be not guilty. There is so much evidence proving him guilty, yet many were still shocked. My primary issue with the case is how it took someone to be killed for light to be shed on racism. There isn't complete justice, but we are getting pushed in the right direction.
  • tsilva588 on 10 May 21
     
    It's obvious that this man needed to be punished for his actions and no one should be shocked. Watching the video of George Floyds last few minutes was awkward and seemed inhuman and could have easily had been stopped regardless of the struggle he was giving or the drugs he was on, that officer killed him. He spent the last few minutes of a precious life begging for mercy and that was it. So Chauvin is getting the treatment anyone else would get.
  • arosas733 on 24 May 21
     
    It is crazy how some people do not see Chauvin in the wrong. This was complete discrimination against him and this should not have happened. Punishments are necessary for him and he took a life from a family that could never be given back or forgiven, when he could've handled the situation in a more fair, civil way.
