People have no care about anybody else which is why they keep hopping the border. Little do they know that every person that enters our country illegally, could be the person who takes your job in a year or two. Its hard to stop all of this but our country needs to devote even more attention to the border and all of the problems with it.

Lucas ~ reread your post and think about better ways you could have said some of the things above to be less offensive. Sometimes, we can better convey our views and get our point across when we speak more appropriately. Think about it. If you want to convince someone or persuade someone to think as you do, you'll never get the chance if you turn them off by offending them. Does that make sense?

That's good that they found those guns. If they wouldn't have found them think of how many people could have been either hurt or killed.

I don't know why people think they can get away with shipping 16,000 pistols on a ship. They should of saw the whole bust coming.

With every tornado it just gets worse and if not its going to.

Natural disasters are a terrible thing to suffer from, because you can't blame anybody for your misfortunes. I think that people should read these articles and become more aware of how devastating they can be, and more people will be inclined to seek more protective shelter.

I really can't believe that somebody has the guts to beat somebody up for something so little and stupid. That guy can't even like his favorite baseball team without getting beat up for it. I think that it is a great thing that the giants players are giving a reward to anyone with answers. It really shows that they care about their fans.

when stuff like this happens it needs to be dealt with and have major consequences. when this happens it just looks bad on the sport and general managers that do not provide enough security. this is a major problem at sporting events.

Chrysler has paid off $7.6 billion to U.S and Canadian government. They repaid the loans 6 years ahead of schedule. also because of the loans they were able to hire 6000 workers

This is great especially with the economy the way it is. Other companies should follow the ways of Chrysler so we can get our economy back on track.

That is great and it may show signs that our country is slowly recovering from the recession we are in, maybe this will give people motivation to start looking for jobs again.

A volcanic eruption began in Iceland. Early Tuesday the ash spread to Europe. This forced many British airlines to cancel many flights. This ash is predicted to spread over Scotland, Northern Ireland and northern England, according to Britain's weather agency, the Met Office. There is also a strong possibility it could affect Denmark. The ash can be a serious hazard to aircraft, reducing visibility, damaging flight controls and ultimately causing jet engines to fail. This volcano affected many airlines and traveling.

This was pretty scary hearing since after there was a prediction that the world was going to end Saturday.

this is great just what the world needs more backed up air flights.

The United States was once one of the most rapidly growing countries in the world, but that is not the case now. Slow population growth can be a good thing, as the U.S. is in a recession the way it is, and more people can make it worse, especially with jobs currently being difficult to find. From the 90's to 2000, the U.S. was growing at 13.2%, and from 2000 to 2010, it has grown 9.7%. 43% of the growth is Hispanics, which shows how rapidly we our adapting to a diverse community. Studies show that the U.S. is becoming a middle aged country, which will most likely harm us if we don't get out of the recession, because that will be even more money being drained once all the middle aged people are able to collect Social Security.
