    This link shows everything wrong with our world right now. I am constantly outraged by the wage gap, and how employers are allowed to get away with it. It blows my mind that so many people claim that men and women are CURRENTLY treated the same way, when clearly they are not. p.s i actually book marked this link on my computer, that way i can send it to anyone who disagrees.
  •  
    This has been an ongoing issue for us women since day one. inequality in employment, wages and opportunities is extremely unjust. I think the more its brought to the surface and the more we show we still haven't forgotten, we will eventually get somewhere. Just like when we all came together for women's rights on inauguration day :)
  •  
    Women's right are changing. Women's need equal opportunities in workplace and education. This link is showing us how unfair is society with females. Hopefully in the future everybody is going to be equal and we will have the same opportunities.
  •  
    It seems that for all of the changes that have been made, a lot still needs to be done. There is no excuse for our country or any other country to still be dealing with unequal rights for women. The violence is disgusting, as well as discrimination and unequal pay. Thank you for sharing.
  •  
    As a woman, I believe we have definitely come a long way. However, I believe we are not completely equal to males yet, which we should be. More changes need to be done.
  •  
    The fact that women and other people in our country and other countries have to even fight to be equal is disgusting. We are all the same and deserve to be treated the same. The fight must continue.
  •  
    It is crazy to think that in 2017 that we as humans can't treat one another the same as you would want to be treated yourself. I am not a woman but I do have a wife and daughter that I would hate/despise if they were treated any less than myself for any reason.

NSA Surveillance - 0 views

  •  
    The National Security Agency has greatly expanded since September 11, 2001. People have come forward and recently exposed the corruption of the system, and the spying the agency has conducted on millions of Americans, through phone calls and other mass forms of media we consume everyday.
  •  
    I understand the reason for the surveillance, but I feel that if they find nothing wrong, they should move on. I also feel that it is a violation of peoples' rights to privacy. If I was a suspected terrorist or caught peeping on sites that I shouldn't, please track me so that I don't hurt anyone or do irreparable damage. However, if you spy on me and all I do is talk to family and do homework, pay bills and occasionally visit Facebook, then just leave me alone. Spend the time watching someone that you should be.
  •  
    Whether the NSA is listening to you or not, if you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to worry about, they are not sharing your information with others, nor are they even listening closely to your conversation. The NSA was weakened through the repealing of the patriot act last year, and since there have been 3 major terror attacks on the homeland, a clear rise in terror in the homeland through the gained power of terrorist due to paranoia from American citizens, who value privacy over safety.

Federal Judge Urges Prosecutors to Put Arizona's 'Sheriff Joe' Behind Bars - 0 views

  •  
    Since 2007, the ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union) has accused Sheriff Joe of detaining Latinos unlawfully, in which he would regularly perform 'sweeps' in Hispanic neighborhoods. Since then, Sheriff Joe has ignored a court order for reported racial profiling and criminal contempt charges could be issued if prosecutors are willing.
  •  
    First of all, I can't believe that he is 84 now. I didn't know that. More importantly, I've never liked our sheriff and have heard a ton of nothing but bad things about him and especially his actions of being racist. This doesn't at all surprise me but I really doubt that he will be convicted. I guess we will see though! Thanks for sharing!!!

Banking on Bondage: Private Prisons and Mass Incarceration - 0 views

  •  
    The imprisonment of human beings at record levels is both a moral failure and an economic one - especially at a time when more and more Americans are struggling to make ends meet and when state governments confront enormous fiscal crises. Having a system that relies on mass incarceration to continue in order to make profits goes against the purpose of the criminal justice system.
