Government Diigo

"The nation's top health insurers were well aware of the technical problems plaguing the application process on the Obamacare website prior to its October 1 launch, an industry insider told CNN."

Sad, why do people have to be so cruel

Bullying is to hard to detect now a days hard to stop

Here at our school, bullying is a big issue when basing it off of what I see on a typical day. There are students and teachers who do their best to prevent it as much as possible, but then there are some who allow it to happen without ever making any sort of attempt to stop it. I do not think that charges should be made against anyone for this case, however. To me it's like throwing a rock at nothing and expecting it to hit something. How would pressing charges do anything? How do you know that doing so would affect the people who had bullied the kid in the first place? Unless there's evidence of who committed the actions, why, and how, then I don't think that suing anyone would be justified. But, I do believe that making and enforcing more rules to target bullying would help decrease it, as well as make people more conscious of how their words and actions affect people.

"The parents of an 8-year-old South Dakota girl want the police officer who stunned their daughter with a Taser disciplined, but the police chief said Wednesday that the officer acted properly and may have saved the little girl's life."

If the girls life was in danger or the officers I would see why he would use a tazer but other wise he should of used a different approach.

She was endangering herself and the officer, he used the least harmful weapon he had. He saved that girls life he should not be getting sued. Obviously the parents are blind to their own kids problems, that's what they should be focusing on.

"President Barack Obama's administration is urging the Supreme Court not to take up the first case it has received on controversial National Security Agency cybersnooping."

Republicans give in to plan just in time; but will it last?

"It's over, for now: Obama signs bill to end partial shutdown, hike debt ceiling"

i think the government is becoming to corrupt and that with the shut down they are showing weakness and that it could be a start of a possible war between the countries

"The National Security Agency is harvesting hundreds of millions of contact lists from personal e-mail and instant messaging accounts around the world, many of them belonging to Americans, according to senior intelligence officials and top-secret documents provided by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden."

to much money is spent on something the government will never be able to stop

"Oops: Azerbaijan released election results before voting had even started"

That's really not cool. I would be pretty upset if that happened here in the U>S.... wait has it?

poor people, they have to go through alot just by migrating to another country. Its horrible that they take advantage of them

This is crazy! People are wrong

reminds me of a movie

OK I want YOUR opinions on this issue... Was it appropriate for the capital city police shoot her once her car had crashed? She had no weapon, but were they acting to protect public safety? What is your view?

No it wasn't right to do that. Yes they were trying they could of shot somewhere else on her that wouldn't of killed her but just got her to stop what she was doing.

They should have shot her in the arm or leg just to stop her but to kill her in front of her kid is wrong. But she was also wrong for bringing her child with and putting her in a dangerous situation.

"In a split decision released Friday, the Nebraska Supreme Court rejected a 16-year-old ward of the state's request to waive parental consent to get an abortion, saying the girl had not shown she is sufficiently mature and well-informed enough to decide on her own whether to have an abortion."

Child caught on fire by E-cigarette

That is so sad and terrible

yeah forreal they shouldnt be selling those things if there faulty they need to get it right before they sell them to people

that's just crazy and wrong

I get other cultures have different beliefs and we all do and believe things differently, but that's not okay. She's crazy young, her body will not be ready for that in years. Unacceptable.

Every child should live their childhood instead of worrying about who they are going to marry soon.

yeah, this story doesn't seem right through and through. What did the man do to provoke the shooting? Could the woman see he was hurt?

You can never trust anyone anymore. The government is suppose to help benefit and support the people, but they only care about themselves. The people who are suppose to protect us shoot us down in a time of need. We go against one another and fight over unnecessary things. We aren't the Worlds greatest country anymore.

This is crazy. The officer had no reason to shoot that man. He was already hurt, couldn't they tell? Police officers need to know what's right and what's wrong because they obviously don't.

YESTERDAY; One student stabbed to death, two with minor injuries, one whose condition is unknown

Some people these days are crazy. Resort to this crap when they get "mad." Ridiculous.

This goes to show that banning guns or putting more restrictions on them does not stop people from killing one another and seriously injuring people. Weapons are just tools in the hands of killers.

"Here's a quick Q&A to get you caught up on what happened on Monday and what to expect going forward."

The way the U.S. is taking this really shows how much we rely on our government, and how much people take for granted in our every day lives. I'm surprised that there haven't been any major riots because of all the effects this could have if this shutdown continues.

"While the most essential government services will basically continue business as usual, the lack of funding for many others will be a minor headache for some Americans, and a serious concern for others."
