personal+freedoms age retirement retired forced required people concern

    This website argues that people should not be forced to retire at 65. The website goes into detail about age concerns and how if the government were to tell people to stop working at the age of 65, that it would breach, at least for the European Court, equality requirements. This website also argues how it could be considered as a discrimination of some sort.

    This site tackles both sides to a rather controversial topic. It brings in statistical data regarding both excessive and reasonable force. It discusses the tarnished relationship between the police and minority populations. It also briefly touches on how there isn't reliable data to appropriately distinguish police brutality patterns. The site also touches on topics of characteristics of suspects, use of "less lethal" weapons and body cameras for police officers.

    Wow...I don't agree that a female rape victim should be forced to share custody or receive child support from her assailant it should be her right as the victim. But a male victim, this is new to me. However, I agree if he is a victim she should be charged and he should have a choice. Charges should have been made against her back when it happened or they should do the math and still charge her. As for the child it's sad but if he doesn't want to be apart of her life because he wants nothing to do with his assailant, The assailant is at fault. I don't think I would want my son to have to be involved with a women who raped him because a child was conceived during her criminal act. It's sad because then the child suffers. Mixed feelings on this subject.
  • jen2081270 on 02 Sep 17
     
    This whole article is disturbing on so many levels. First of all he was 14 years old but that does not change the fact that he is a parent and has responsibilities just based on that alone. BUT if the courts are going to recognize the fact that is was a rape why do they not charge the mother? I say he takes her to court for custody and makes her pay child support. The poor child can not win either way.
  • aacastillo1222 on 03 Sep 17
     
    This is appalling. The woman should be charged. Its sad that many look away when its a male that is a rape victim. They deserve to get justice and not get charged for child support. The victim should have a say on what they want if they want to be involved or not, but I feel like they shouldn't have to deal with their rapist.
  • emi2056907 on 03 Sep 17
     
    Wow this is another disturbing article! The fact of the matter is that men alone have it very very hard when it comes to their rights as fathers. And in instances like this, even harder. The fact that he got served with papers years later is very sad. That mother clearly just wants to collect money. But what would she even tell her daughter about her dad? That she had sex with a 14 year old boy?? This is so disturbing and there should be laws in place for situations like this and for fathers in general.

    The article reviews recent news from Arizona government limiting water supply allotted to farmers for 2022 due to the record breaking low of the Colorado river and the status of the drought. It reviews climate changes effects on our western water supply from the Colorado River and Arizona's share of its percentage being cut by an agreement from the early 1900s. The water supply will force farmers into seeking more resourceful ways of farming from drought proof crop to reducing their growing area and crop types but ultimately demands a change in how the western states and Arizona source their water supply as it effects our food supply for the future.

    It is truly devastating how the drought is affecting the food supply and our farmers in Arizona, there is a need for better water management, and we need a lot more water in Arizona to survive in the intense heat.

    The intertwined issues of privacy and secrecy will force Congress to finally deal with the world of digital information. Being such a big issues and how they are able to use such information against people in court, how was Hillary Clinton able to get off her FBI investigation? It doesn't make senseto me how they abuse this power to convict people in court, but yet our countries elite get off without so much as a fine.
  • jef2162142 on 04 Sep 16
     
    The FBI has exposed itself as a highly corrupted organization by allowing a politician to be above the law. The federal government ought to remove Comey from his position of power as he has said that Hillary should not be charged, although she committed a crime, and was exposed. In other words, he said she is above the law. Which no one person can be above the law in a republic, or a democracy, or any functioning country with laws.
  • rande_vargas on 05 Sep 16
     
    It is not okay for her to get off the hook for the investigation. If other people can't get away with crimes then why can she get away with it. Just like us she is a citizen of the united states so why is should she be treated any different?

    This is extremely sad to see but not surprising. Homophobia is still around and these people are hateful. The hope is hat they don't manage to get any laws past that might hurt LGBT people. The supreme court ruled that for marriage equality.

    Mexico city has a town Tenancingo known for human trafficking. It's so close to home that it's time for more attention to be put toward human trafficking. Taking young girls as young as 12 is horrifying. There are young girls in the united states that deal with being trafficked as well. These are mothers, daughters, nieces, and people who don't need to be put through such a traumatizing event. When human trafficking is brought up corruption comes to mind as well. There comanly seem to be police, judges, and political figures within trafficking. These girls need help but it's hard to see where the help will come from.
