Gun control in the United States - Springer - 1 views

  •  
    In this article it argues that a more strict gun control will not reduce crime. The NRA (National Rifle Association) said that gun owners are sports enthusiasts and not criminals. This article also points out that since the 1960's the government have been debating on the issue of gun control but nothing has changed. Neither side (Democratic and Conservative) are listening to each other, they are counteracting and arguing but not listening to each others beliefs on this issue, which is a main reason why this debate has been going on for so long.

A Case to Defund Planned Parenthood - 0 views

  •  
    Many people see planned parenthood as an organization that has been taking money from the government to fund abortions among many other issues. It's thought that this shouldn't be the case because there are so many other health care services in the states that provide the same services as well as many more services too. The break down of some of the expenses show why continuing to fund planned parenthood would not be the best solution for the tax payers money.

How Family Planning Helps the Economy and Women's Careers - 0 views

  •  
    Family-planning programs boost incomes, reduce poverty, and ease the load on America's safety net. And yet, Republicans can't seem to condemn them strongly enough. Investing in reproductive health isn't just good for women and their families-it's good for the economy. (nmw)
  •  
    If planned parenthood were to be defunded, it is predicted that the government would end up spending more in the long run on public assistance. Planned parenthood provides many services for women, one of them being birth control. Statistics in this article show that women who used birth control were easily able to finish school, find jobs, and create a steady life before having children. Defunding this organization would cost America more money in the bigger scheme of things.

    The author believes planned parenthood is positive. It boosts the economy because those women have the chance to plan their pregnancies and prevent unwanted ones.

  •  
    Buffett said he understands the position of Apple CEO Tim Cook, who does not want to open up the iPhones of everyday Americans to government scrutiny. "I don't know Tim [Cook] real well. Everything I know about his is he's a high-grade an individual as you can imagine," he said.

    Apple shouldn't share their info. Once that backdoor is opened it can never be closed
  •  
    I strongly believe whatever we sign or agree to with keeping our personal life a secret, there is always going to be something there violating our personal rights. We as humans are all different and come from different backgrounds but sine we are not the "law" or we do not know more than the FBI or Apple, they will continue to think it is okay to violate our privacy.

Mike Rowe Talks About Why Control Won't Work - 0 views

  •  
    Mike Rowe talks about what would actually happen if heavier gun control laws were laid down. He talks about how he thinks a heavier background check would not do much to a criminal purchasing a gun illegally. He says then that if we cannot control the government, why would we want to make it bigger by handing over our guns.
  •  
    We do need stronger gun control laws, but either way I feel as if anyone now a days think its okay to have self defense as in automatically killing someone. Self defense is a mechanism as to which keeps oneself safe, as well as stopping the offender in a way that does not kill them, only stops; by saying that does not mean "go kill them" and that is what most people believe now a days is what self defense is, just by killing another individual.

    Another post with the hatred symbol being removed from society. I enjoyed reading this article just as much as the last about the Confederate flag being removed.
  •  
    This can go either way for people with different backgrounds. The flag can either mean independence and freedom but some take it as being different from the U.S. and it is tied to racism even,
  •  
    The flag does represent a rebellion against the American government.
