    gun control won't help anyone honestly. i don't see why he's trying to ban guns so hard. criminals are just gonna stop shooting people because of gun control? A+ thinking.

    gun control is not gonna keep illegal guns of the streets.
  • Ryan Camden on 10 Sep 13
     
    Gangsters and Hoodlums will still use guns to kill, shoot, rob people i really don't think its going to help.
  • Bryan Pregon on 10 Sep 13
     
    After reading the article, I don't think these two rules were meant to stop a lot of gun crimes. On the issue of gun violence, I would say that we still need tight regulations of guns. I am less concerned with new gun control laws, and more interested to know how our society can keep guns out of the hands of dangerous criminals and the mentally ill.

    Well then, If it started that way, why would we change it? That's like changing McDonald's from fast food to a fancy italian resturant
  • Bryan Pregon on 06 Sep 13
     
    It is interesting that the pledge has been changed before... the "under God" part wasnt added until the 1950's http://www.ushistory.org/documents/pledge.htm
  • Sara Borgaila on 06 Sep 13
     
    I don't think its discrimination. Because it's saying that God doesn't love gay people but that's quite opposite. Well that's what I believe anyway. I think we should leave the pledge the way it is because of tradition.
  • Paul Gerjevic on 06 Sep 13
     
    america isn't all forced religion country so i can see why under god could upset people but it isn't that big of a deal
  • Victoria Kirk on 06 Sep 13
     
    It shouldn't matter that is not "forcing a religion" on to someone. Kids don't really think about the meaning of words that they repeat everyday.
  • sheagorman on 06 Sep 13
     
    i think its unnecessary to change it because its a free counrty you dont even have to say the pledge, also it doesnt say a certain god, just gid so that can mean any god you believe in

    Why?!! Neext thing you know they will wanna take the In God we trust off the money!!

    i think that 12 year olds should not be able to buy condoms there should be a certain age limit.
  • trocha404 on 10 May 13
     
    i think you should be able to get condoms no matter how old you are. if you are haveing sex you should be safe.
  • jasminemarie16 on 03 Sep 13
     
    Safe sex is the best way to go. If your thinking about sex at any age, you should make sure you have condoms no mater what.
  • ladasia on 03 Sep 13
     
    Perhaps parents, guardians/ and or teachers should encourage kids not to make those choices until they are old enough to handle the consequences (aka, wait until their married. You wont have to deal with pregnancies or emotional stress)
  • amber1996 on 03 Sep 13
     
    No one that young needs to engage in sex but if they do they need protection and not have many partners it seems to me that people are having to many partners.
  • Hannah Hennings on 06 Sep 13
     
    I dont think anyone that young needs to have sex they should be getting a free pack of craynos not condoms
  • spencer schmitz on 06 Sep 13
     
    i dont think they should be able to but yes i do belive that they do need to learn about pertection ... but no they dont need them
  • Kelsey Cheney on 06 Sep 13
     
    I agree with Hannah, they should not be getting condoms at 12 that is way too young to even be thinking about doing that kind of stuff. But I also agree with Spencer, they should be taught about protection that way when the time comes MANY years later, they know what the right thing to do is.

  • alexisprazak on 28 Nov 11
     
    Personally, I don't think he should be forced to apologize. Yes, his comments were hurtful, but as a public political figure you have to expect these kinds of negative comments. Plus, like the last line of the article said "the governor of Kansas has more important thing to worry about."
  • christian knight on 28 Nov 11

  • Ziada Karbowski on 28 Nov 11
     
    It wasn't meant for anybody but her friends, it was simply an accident. They shouldn't be so worried about it but she is right about freedom of speech. I wonder what's going to be done about it.
  • Lexi Raygor on 28 Nov 11
     
    I think she should at least apologize. Although free speech is an unalienable right, everyone should still share opinions in a respectful manner.
  • Kristin Molgaard on 28 Nov 11
     
    Interesting story.
  • Megan Rief on 28 Nov 11
     
    I like the story, its very interesting that the governor took the twitter post from the teenager to heart and requires an apology letter to be productive and move on, he should be focused on more important things.
  • Brian Williams on 28 Nov 11
     
    Not gonna lie, I've seen far worse things on Twitter.
  • Samantha Pike on 28 Nov 11
     
    I find this story very interesting, I do agree that we have freedom of speech. However lying is not in our Constitution. There are multiple worse things that are posted on Facebook, and Twitter.
  • Derek Large on 28 Nov 11
     
    When it takes a apology letter is needed to work with the gov then they need some one new to take that office. If it was his own kid then it is understandable. but when he does not know them then they shouldn't bother him as much as they have. and it is true that twitter holds many things that are far worse that deal with the gov't.
  • Bryan Pregon on 30 Nov 11
     
    Lots of comments on this story... looks like the Governor ended up making the apology... here is a followup article http://goo.gl/0IlO1
  • Brice Johnson on 01 Dec 11
     
    The girl was at no fault, even though she did not actually do the things she said in the tweet. Hundreds of millions of posts about politicians are posted every. If all of the politicians took the things said to heart the government would be in ever deeper trouble than they are now.
  • Cole Ragland on 03 Sep 13
     
    She should be able to say what she wants. Freedom of speech
  • ladasia on 04 Sep 13
     
    yeah, she should have used her words more wisely, but freedom of speech is a very important law as long as it is not abused. I'm glad everything worked out, and the gov. corrected himself.
  • Ryan Camden on 04 Sep 13
     
    that girl was a meanie bo-beanie
  • Sara Dunn on 06 Sep 13

  • Zach Standard on 06 Sep 13
     
    at least she was voicing her opinion. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
  • jefferyduncan on 06 Sep 13
     
    she shouldn't even have to apologize for anything like freedom of expression so she has all right to post what ever she wants on twitter isn't that what it was made for to post things your thinking of or your opinion on something

  • Joey Helm on 06 Sep 13
     
    Although I understand that the rules state that you can't get paid for signing autographs, they didn't have any proof that he did, yet still game him a suspension. I don't believe that you can be punished for something that they have no proof of.

    "A woman was assaulted by her ex-boyfriend after she called 911 and tried to get an officer at her home. Her call was transferred to the state police because the sheriff's department isn't staffed 24 hours a day or seven days a week, the station said. A dispatcher for the state police said, "Uh, I don't have anybody to send out there. You know, obviously, if he comes inside the residence and assaults you, can you ask him to go away?""
  • Ryan Edmondson on 29 Aug 13
     
    (CNN) -- Oregon Gov. John Kitzhaber is considering legislation that would declare a public safety emergency in some Oregon counties where residents often have been left to try to fend for themselves. The measure would also impose a temporary income tax on residents of counties unable to pay for public safety workers due to budget cuts.
