    Proponents of GM foods say that the higher yields and improved nutritional content are necessary to ensure adequate food for the world's growing population. Opponents say any claimed benefits of GM foods are unproven, and cite the lack of safety studies and the real and potential dangers to human health and the environment as reasons to ban the products.

    After skimming the article it is safe to say these GMO foods have several negative effects on the human health and environmental health. Environmentalists fear farmers will need to spray crops with pesticides is upsetting. These GMO foods are doing more harm than good and should be banned. The fact stated about independent farmers are at risk of being sued or having to pay a fee for there crops being contaminated is disgusting and seems to be another was for the system to profit more money.

    I enjoyed reading the article and have been somewhat following the issue of GMO's for a couple of years. Anytime a company (Monsanto) owns a majority of a product in a free enterprise society, that is when people should be worried. Not only has Monsanto's product been proven unsafe-the company is forming a monopoly.

    GMO's are absolutely terrible. I'm excited to learn more about them just so that I can watch my health later on in life. I'm currently also doing my research paper on GMO's with food and nutrition. I can't wait to take my Patho class as well just so I can learn exactly how GMO's affect the human body.

    Drinking and driving is very common in today's society. I like this article because not only does it provide facts about faculties, but also provided a visual emotional touch while reading. People are effected everyday due to someone driving under the influence or while intoxicated. It's good we have things like Uber, taxi's, and buses that help lead away from driving drunk, which in return will lead to safer roads.

    It's still upsetting to me how much of a problem this is in society. It's not anything new yet it still hasn't been stopped and that needs to change.

    Drinking and driving is not only wrong, but its completely selfish. You are not only putting your life in danger, but you are also putting others in danger. There are many different routes you can take rather than just getting into your car intoxicated.

    Ugh, I hate that no matter how many times you can say to someone "please call me and ill pick you up" and they still choose to drive themselves home because they do not want to "bother" you. This is such a big issue in our society that everyone needs to learn to stop doing. I feel that Uber is helping in some way lately though!

    This article argues that the war on drugs should seize because people will always find a way to sell them illegally like prohibition. It states the drug war has actually caused danger zones in order to sell drugs.

    Living near a landfill might as well be like living in one. Although a person is not breathing in the toxins at a rapid rate it is very bad for your health to be constantly inhaling such bad air.

    It is really sad that as humans we have to fight for clean water. The subject shouldn't even be a concern, it should be a priority. We need to continue to fight for the the government to see this.

    It is sad to think that the water we use for our daily necessities can be poisoned. Greedy companies are too concerned with money, they overlook our health. The article states that the longer this goes on, the more money we have to spend, so shouldn't that be an eye opener?

    America has arrived at a dangerous, unprecedented moment: an Administration is attacking a state that is simply trying to help the federal government restore the rule of law. The State and Federal government are still clashing heads on what should be done for the immigration laws and still uncertain on the safest and most reliable way to protect our borders and citizens.

    Perry Chiaramonte reports a study taken by the Center for Studies on New Religions, and quotes Robert Nicholson and Ryan Mauro on the subject of Christian persecution. Being a Christian is the most dangerous thing you can do in many nations, and Christianity is the religion of the powerless.
  • anonymous on 27 Jan 18
     
    I must say, I am not at all surprised that this study shows Christians as being the "most persecuted group in the world." All throughout history Christians have been persecuted in one way or another, especially during the Middle Ages. It is sad, however, to see how far from that era the world had come, yet seemingly is now back-sliding to that.

    In 2010, a litigated court in Tennessee asserted a family court ruling that congratulated Darryl Sawyer, the primary custody of his almost seven-year-old son, Daniel. The court ruled in favor of Sawyer, aside from the confirmed proof that was spoken of by his ex-wife that he had sexually abused their child, Daniel.

    The article describes how Nestle takes advantage of a dangerous situation, in order to turn a profit. The state of California is known to have a water shortage; however, Nestle continues to take water to sell in bottles. While arguing the denial of the right of water to everyone, Nestle continues to take water from various places in America.
