    This is an interesting topic. The drug trade world is getting out of control a lot of people are being killed and hurt for no reason someone needs to step up and stop these things from happening before its to late

A Haunting - 0 views

  •  
    A house in New England is said to be haunted. This isn't just any ordinary house this is one of the oldest houses in America. They say that there is occasional footsteps on the stairs when nobody is even there, flashlights going dark with brand new batteries, and the doorbell ringing with nobody at the door. The house was built more than four hundred years ago and was built by English settlers Jonathan and Grace Fairbanks. The house is now a museum open to the public.

    Dude I love haunted houses. I think my house is because I miss place everything I own. But are they real or fake and is this just a bribe to get more people to visit.

American detained in North Korea. - 0 views

  •  
    Not much information given although there is an American citizen being detained in North Korea. The United States is working extremely hard to negotiate the Americans release. This wouldn't be the first time North Korea has captured and held an American citizen hostage. North Korea has detained several Americans in recent years, increasing tension levels between the two countries.
  •  
    They shouldn't do that to Americans. We should have our rights in other countries too.
  •  
    Just because we are americas it shouldn't give people the right in other countries to treat us like dirt.

Obama born in U.S. - 1 views

  •  
    Skeptics and conspiracy theorists have been attacking president Obama with their doubts that he was born in America. Statistics show that 25% of citizens have doubt of his birth on U.S. soil. But, evidence has shown that he is a U.S. citizen. And was born in Hawaii. Proof such as the document of his birth in the newspaper, the birth certificate, and memories of the current governer of Hawaii as Barack was a baby.

    This is good, this will make all the skeptics finally shut up about our president being an American.
  •  
    The government can make the people of the United States believe whatever they want us to believe. Just because some piece of paper was copied onto a newspaper doesn't necessarily make something true. I believe that until there is an actual visual of his birth certificate then no so many people are going to believe that he really is a us citizen.

    Not according to Donald Trump.

    Obama may have been born in usa but he dont act it

School bans bagged lunches - 0 views

  •  
    A school in chicago bans kids form taking in bagged lunches to protect them from them their own unhealthly choices. So then that they will eat better and eat healthy and watch their weight. But is it really better for kids to eat the school are they safe and healthy. Students must eat lunch or not some of them both but most of it was thrown away in the trash. Some kids parents think that it is a good idea but others think that its bad. Because what if you are picky and dont like the school linch or what they are severing then what do u do. Also plus what if you have allregys to some foods then what do you do. What would you do.

3-D Avatars Could Put You in Two Places at Once - 1 views

  •  
    Probably within the next five years, we will have the luxury of being in two places at one time using 3-D avatars. Instead of getting up early, getting dressed, and changing your schedule around for a meeting, you could just open up your laptop and within the matter of two minutes, you can be in a virtual conference room. The program will allow you to move your head to look around the room at the other people and while your avatar is wide awake and taking notes for you, you could be sleeping.

    If technology does get this advanced i'm going to be not too suprised. Things are changing very quickly in our world and nothing suprises me anymore.
  •  
    That's actually crazy. Technology is getting so advanced.
  •  
    I personally do not like that idea. America is already making a big deal of people not doing anything like not working and people being over weight. This is just another chance for people in the world to sit at home and do nothing.
  •  
    That would be awesome, it's like facetime but 3-D.
  •  
    This sounds like it could be a bad idea. it would just make people lazier than what they are. I wouldnt do this.

    Because ford is reasonably priced and keeps close watch on the economy. Every other car company out there needs to follow in ford's footsteps to keep the balance in our economy.
  •  
    In New York a ford motor combined sales and improved pricing to roar past earning forecasts.This started in 1998. Ford earned $2.6 billion, or 61 cents a share, up 22% from a year earlier, the company said Tuesday.In 1998 was the last time they earned that much in the first quarter. The past quarters performance performance underlined the continued turnaround at the company, which has now posted seven straight quarters of profit after years of losses.
  •  
    You would think with the economy, vehicle sales would go down. But it's good to hear that they are not, at least for Ford their not.
  •  
    Hopefully this will continue and help the boost the rest of our economy.
  •  
    This would be good for them because then it would help them out
  •  
    Hopefully things stay good for them.
