U.S. requires group to remove 3-D gun instructions from its website - CNN.com - 0 views

  •  
    At issue was whether Wilson had violated International Traffic in Arms Regulations by posting files on his website allowing users to download and print firearms with 3-D printing technology.
  •  
    i think they should remove it cause this would make it a lot easier for minors to get guns and use them for unnecessary reasons
  •  
    i think its good that htey took it down becuse there vould cause alot of problems

Increased security at schools following California girl's stabbing death - 1 views

  •  
    This is a big shake up in a place where many people have been so comfortable for so long. And the little brother will never be the same.. finding his sister stabbed to death..? I can't imagine.
  •  
    how did someone manage to get a knife in school and still be able to stab someone without being seen by anyone so i think they should have more security.
  •  
    It's sad to know that there are people out there who do these horrible things for no reason.

Lance Armstrong sued by government over sponsor money | Reuters - 0 views

  •  
    "The United Stated suffered damage in that it did not receive the value of the services for which it bargained," the complaint said."
  •  
    I think this is right for the government to sue Lance because basically they were giving him money that could have possibly been used for illegal drugs.

Army Says No To More Tanks, But Congress Insists : NPR - 0 views

  •  
    "Lawmakers from both parties have devoted nearly half a billion dollars in taxpayer money over the past two years to build improved versions of the 70-ton Abrams. But senior Army officials have said repeatedly, "No thanks.""

    i think that if they keep buying more tanks that the military dont want or need is just going to put us in debt more and more then we will eventually will have to pay it all back.
  •  
    They said that they didn't need the newer tanks, yet they go ahead and throw money out to fund the production of the newer models. Why don't they spend the money on military training, or other essentials that were also listed in the article. I just don't understand how it's "okie dokie" for them to do this if it's clearly unnecessary.
  •  
    They don't have much of a choice. If they are given money for new tanks they cant spend it on anything else.

Think 3-D printing is cool? Try 4-D - 0 views

  •  
    (Not really political but an interesting subject, Plus, what if it started in the military)(CNN) -- Video producer's note: You've heard of 3-D printing, the process of using a specialized printer to create real-world objects from computer models. Now there's something new on the horizon that could revolutionize this burgeoning technology: 4-D printing. At TED 2013, senior fellow Skylar Tibbits sat down with CNN Ideas to further explain this mysterious fourth dimension in printing technology.

Nazi essay assignment teacher placed on leave by New York school district - 1 views

  •  
    Wrong.
  • ...6 more comments...
  •  
    If my teacher asked me to write that essay I would refuse too. That is not something they should have to be writing about. She could have at least given them the option to choose either that Jews are bad or Nazis are bad so it didn't look as bad for her.
  •  
    This is wrong for the teacher to assign something that may offend someones religion.
  •  
    Couldn't she just be trying to open the children's mind to a different point of view? Giving them a life lesson, that there's always two sides to every story. Not necessarily trying to offend anyone.
  •  
    Teachers have kids write essays from different aspects and point of views all the time to try to get them to open their mind about new things. The teacher just should have anticipated that people may get offended with a topic like that.
  •  
    Maybe she shouldn't have picked a topic that pushes the envelope so much. I don't know, it just seems like it could be really touchy, like it kind of crosses the line.
  •  
    She should have been aware that some people may reject the assignment when she asked them to write about it! For some people it's a sore subject so I don't think they should necessarily have to write about it if they don't want too.
  •  
    That is a serious topic for students.. It would personally be uncomfortable for me to write an essay for that.
  •  
    I feel that the idea behind the assignment wasn't to necessarily portray that the teacher thought, and wanted the class to think, Jewish people as being evil but I feel that it is what ended up happening. The teacher could have picked hundreds of different essay topics ranging from abortion to zero tolerance polices that would have allowed students to write persuasively and not specify any one group in particular.

GOP Seeks Revenge on Pro-Equality Iowa Supreme Court Justices - 0 views

  •  
    Is it appropriate for the Legislator to "punish" the Judicial, or even the Executive, branch because of a disagreement in what is right or wrong? Is it appropriate to target only specific justices instead of applying the salary cut to all of the justices? I wonder if some of the legislators are holding on to this issue for longer than needed? The Varnum v. Brien decision was over four years ago, yet legislators are still trying to "punish" the justices for that decision.

    "We surrendered our rights to a government of war criminals, who promised us certainty and security in a world that offers none. We should have known better, and in fact we did. At the literal birth moment of American democracy, Benjamin Franklin summed it up in a single sentence: "Those who would give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.""

    "Supporters say providing legal status for the undocumented would bring people out of the shadows and ensure that they are working and paying taxes."

    i think that this could really help us out cause then they would know that they are actually working for what they earn and so they actually pay taxes
