4 cases of Sexual harassment - 1 views

  •  
    This article is about how sexual harassment is still around, and how many people can be affected by it. I found it interesting that these authors found simple solutions to these problems, but also how some of the situations are rather stupid and how some people took what they called, "sexual harassment" to far.

Federal judge rules drivers allowed to flash headlights to warn of speed traps | Fox News - 1 views

  •  
    "A federal judge in Missouri ruled this week held that drivers have a First Amendment right to flash their headlights to warn other motorists of nearby police and speed traps. "
  •  
    Motorists flash lights at each other to warn about lots of different things, such as animals on the road, police being nearby, or slick roads. It would cause more harm than good to outlaw it.
  •  
    I think the person above me says it well. I don't see a HUGE problem with allowing the lights to be flashed in these situations (though I can see why some may be opposed).

    "A group of legislators in Maryland has introduced legislation that would deny state support to federal agencies engaged in warrantless electronic surveillance in a move aimed at curtailing the National Security Agency's power to monitor and track citizens"

    I think the majority of us can say that we aren't too much for government spying on everyone. Glad to hear people are actually trying to change stuff instead of simply talking about it.

    Are these really the steaks that need to be taken to stop people from texting in a movie?

    why would they do that

    When will It end!
  •  
    He is a retied cop, why would he shoot someone.
  •  
    That's taking it too far. Texting during the movie shouldn't happen in the first place (just outta respect to the fellow viewers), but do you really have to SHOOT someone out of it?

    This is a good solution if they are able to find a way to make it work. The Olympics are gonna be interesting this year with everyone on high alert.

Ohio killer executed with controversial drugs - 0 views

  •  
    Interesting that we talked about the death penalty (8th Amendment issue) in class and then this story pops up! Do you guys feel the death penalty is an acceptable punishment? Is lethal injection the way to go or is there a more humane alternative?
  • ...1 more comment...
  •  
    I don't think the death penalty is acceptable. We are killing people that kill people to show people that killing people is wrong... It just doesn't make sense.
  •  
    I don't understand the death penalty. Sitting in jail for the rest of your life seems like a better way to punish killers rather than just killing them.
  •  
    The simple fact behind the death penalty is that the person on death row can not harm or attempt to harm anyone in prison or out cause the people on death row are apparently a danger to everyone around them. Letting someone like that into prison is just going to set them free. They can now kill and get away with it all they are surrounded by is people that did bad so who will care in their mind. Death is the only way to make that not happen.

'Deport Justin Bieber' petition reaches 100,000+ signatures - 1 views

  •  
    Do you belieb that one of Canada's biggest exports could be deported as a result of his recent Miami arrest? The possibility is slim. Nevertheless, less than a week after it was first posted to the government's "We the People" platform, over 100,000 Americans have signed a petition asking the Obama administration to revoke Bieber's green card.

US says Russia conducted missile test banned by 1987 treaty - 1 views

  •  
    It appears Russia conducted a missile test that would technically be banned under the 1987 treaty. The US government hasn't officially warned Russia that it's technically a "violation," but it could be possible they've been testing stuff like this since 08...
  •  
    This is interesting because I would have thought that the US government would have jumped on the opportunity to call another country out if they broke the terms of a treaty. I also don't know why the missiles are such a big deal because they were just testing them out. They weren't firing the missiles at anyone. It could still be a danger but until that happens I don't really think we should worry about it.
