    It is important to put forth the best of effort to stop bullying because many students just want their education and cant enjoy that due to the fear of coing to school

    i think that obama should have a plan b when it comes to guns because there is always stories about how someone gets killed when they didnt do anything wrong
  • matthew corrin on 28 Feb 13
     
    i think there should be laws but you should have to take classes to even get a gun not just be able to go in and with a simple backround and just get one
  • Chris Lavy on 28 Feb 13
     
    I believe gun makers are just doing what will get them the most amount of profit, since there are no laws requiring them to make weapons safer, easier to match, or track they see no point in helping, since it would cost more money to fulfill these requests.
  • david martin on 01 Mar 13
     
    The reason it failed is because he is not using common sense, you cant just expect someone to do something you tell them too. No they need to think about the fact and solve the issue, like school shootings and gangs in the cities thinking they can run the place, because they are cool no. You need to use mind and use it wisely and if that doesn't work than i would suggest using brute force like getting the people that are paid to solve these problems like going in to the main source of violence which would be the gang shootings and take them into custody and put them behind bars for a long time which might be the only solution he has to offer who knows.

    This man is disgusting. He married his wife for 'love'? If he really did love her, he would have been able to get past the way their daughter looked. Why this was a case is beyond me..
  • Sidnie Lewis on 19 Feb 13
     
    I don't think you should be able to sue someone for having an ugly baby. It's not anyone's "fault", and if it were, the blame could not be placed SOLELY on the mother. I don't think this guy has a legitimate reason to sue his wife, and obviously he is a little disturbed. I don't think the courts should even allow this to be a case.
  • gharvey949 on 19 Feb 13

  • nelsontad on 28 Feb 13
     
    Thats the most ridiculous thing to sue over and the worse thing was that he won. He has to remember that half of that baby's DNA is his.
  • Ericka Davis on 28 Feb 13
     
    Its sad that people are so concerned about appearance. He has no right to discourage the child. This shows people will go to extremes to keep a good reputation.
  • melissamartinez on 28 Feb 13
     
    This is just wrong. He can't blame the mother, the baby is his just as much as it is his mother's. Besides it's not like she chose for the baby to be ugly!
  • Jamie Cash on 28 Feb 13
     
    This is just down right awful. How could someone be so cold? He is so concerned about appearance that he can't even love his own child. And the fact that the court agreed with him and gave him 12 hundred dollars is just wrong.
  • Tori Caddell on 28 Feb 13
     
    How could someone say that about their own child. However, it was wrong of the mother to not mention her surgeries, but if he really did ever care about her, he would not have said such things.
  • courtney wilson on 28 Feb 13
     
    who sues heir own wife for having a ugly baby ..... does he know that baby is his just as much as it is his mother's. He is mostly suing himself !
  • Logan Mohr on 28 Feb 13
     
    This is wrong because a lot of baby's are not cute when they are born but at the same time some are.
  • codyself1 on 01 Mar 13
     
    Lololololol. What? Just because the woman is "ugly" doesn't mean the baby's appearance is entirely her fault. It was his sperm along with her egg. His DNA and hers. Wouldn't that make him partially responsible? This case shouldn't have even been allowed to go to court.

    I like this post Cause it makes you think about the causes of becoming pregnant When your still in school. Like the girl in the reading that had plans to go to school for 4 years and didn't because she had a child.
  • Ericka Davis on 01 Mar 13
     
    Teen pregnancy is a great deal and seemingly popular. For instance the teen mom show which doesn't show consequences of pregnancy it almost glorifies the fact those girls are pregnant. Im not saying its totally wrong to get pregnant but its not the smartest choice a teen girl could make.
  • Cara Ireland on 01 Mar 13
     
    Well some teen mom's do go back school after having their baby because their education is still important to them so they try to make an effort on finishing school whatever way they can.
  • Jamie Cash on 01 Mar 13
     
    Just because you get pregnant doesn't mean your life is going to go downhill, many girls get pregnant, become single mothers, and still graduate high school, sometimes a year early and get a full time job and raise their child.
  • Madison Clark on 01 Mar 13
     
    Yeah true Jamie, But I disagree that its okay because most of the population of teen girls having babies think its a new accessory and are unfit to support it. A part time job at taco bell is not enough to support a family.

    The dropping juvenile lockup rates are dropping in Florida. It is a good thing because that means people are staying out of trouble. Shows that teens are actually learning something from their mistakes, and hopefully growing up!

    im glad the teens are getting there heads out there butts and starting to grow up
  • shelby urich on 28 Feb 13
     
    Maybe more states should take note from whatever Florida is doing because locking up teens for some of the smallest things like truency isn't going to fix anything but probably cause more problems.
  • Alivia Bascue on 28 Feb 13
     
    Hopefully the lockup rates will continue to go down, not just in Florida, but everywhere.

  • Hayley Hochstetler on 18 Feb 13
     
    Hmm. This is a very interesting and touchy topic. Personally I think that if the patient is mentally stable and capable of making this choice then they should be allowed to do it. If it was me, I wouldn't want to suffer with a terminal illness. This method is just more humane than jumping off a cliff or pulling the trigger
  • Melissa Christensen on 18 Feb 13
     
    I very much agree with the right-to-die movement and i especially agree with Hayley.

  • codyself1 on 28 Feb 13
     
    Very interesting. I believe that if the patient is terminally ill, and has the ability to consciously decide if they want to die, then it is really their choice and no one else's.

    I think it's okay to cheer for your country when you're trying to support them, but if you're doing it to offend other races, then that's different.
  • Madison Clark on 27 Feb 13
     
    Some people take their patriotism too far. But then again, other races look for reasons to call Americans racist.
  • Colton Tracy on 28 Feb 13
     
    Patriotism is huge to Americans. Chanting USA at USA games shows that they are patriotic but when you chant it towards other races because you believe they are not true Americans is a different story. Those people who offended others by chanting that should be punished.
  • Diego Rocha on 28 Feb 13
     
    I think representing your country is not offensive. Other people have the option to do the same things in representing what they stand for.
  • madacyn on 28 Feb 13

    Those people were just stupid, they took the chant to a whole different level how it wasn't meant to be.

    When we use something from the school like a uniform or a book and it isn't returned we are fined the price of the item. I lose my basketball uniform, I pay $40. How come when this women takes something that is worth 24$ she must pay 10,000x what it is worth to the owner?
