    If things like this would happen in the U.S. maby people would buy less gas and save some money. the biggest problem with this, other than the prices are so high, is that when that one thing goes up so much all of the prices of everything will go up...

    It is fun to look at the graph of Apple's stocks, you can see where new products were announced and other major events like the passing of Steve Jobs. But reaching $500 a stock is amazing, then you compare it to Microsoft's stock of $32ish and you laugh at that company.

  • Wesley May on 01 Mar 12
     
    Apple is a large distributer f products that are used today, so it will go up sooner than later.
  • kevindickey on 02 Mar 12
     
    You have to look at the number of shares not the value. While Microsoft is only $32 a share, there are far more shares. By Microsoft splitting stock they can give more people the power to buy in. So in response to Brice stock price isn't important, it's stock history. I will admit Microsoft isn't as solid as Apple currently is but the $32 to $500 isn't a true reflection of the companies.
  • Wesley May on 21 Mar 12
     
    Even though Microsoft isn't that big and does not have that much money in shares, I would still go for Apple because if you have shares with Apple you can get a huge amount of money.

    I like how there is an incentive for athletes to win medals, but i don't think that it is right because these athletes are already competing against the best athletes in the world and if they medal in their event they are one of the best in the world. And in my mind that is all that i need as an athlete is to be known as one of the best in the world at what i do.
  • Andrew Jensen on 23 Aug 12
     
    Money is and always will be a good incentive to win, and taxing them is just stupid because they've have to train all their lives to do what they do, but the U.S. is still in some major debt and its only 10% so i am in for the taxes
  • Holly Jensen on 23 Aug 12
     
    I think they should be taxed just like any other persons paycheck. They shouldn't be taxed any differently just because they won the Olympics.

    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
  • Zac Brown on 02 Feb 12
     
    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
  • Alexis Daniels on 06 Feb 12
     
    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
  • Connor Gann on 09 Feb 12
     
    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!
  • Jordan Smith on 13 Feb 12
     
    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.
  • Anna Gahm on 14 Feb 12
     
    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.
  • xhotxsoccerbabe on 29 Feb 12
     
    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.

    What made it even worse was the social worker had called the police and the respondent said something along the lines of "we will respond to the actual emergency situations first and then get to your case"...It is sad because she did everything she was "supposed to do" and the children still died.
