    Social networking sites have definitely begun to play a role in getting a job. I think before you post a picture or statement on your Facebook or Twitter think twice if it will ever effect you in the long run. If its risky it probably something you shouldn't be putting online anyway.
  •  
    People do need to realize that how they portray themselves on social networking sites, portray who they may be as a perspective employee. Companies don't want to take risks of hiring someone that may damage the company's reputation. It's called being responsible.
  •  
    Psychologically it is said that we have many social scripts, in other words we do not act the same exact way around our parents as we do our boss or our friends. Companies that use social media are attempting to view how you live your life outside of work, how you act out that social script. But why should that matter? Regardless if you put pictures of Saturday night drinking it does not mean that this who you are in the office, they are two completely different script and for the general population they are unrelated.
  •  
    I think employers should look at social media networks, people should always present themselves in a professional look, because there behaviors affect the company, on the clock or off

Americans are much more likely to be killed by guns than people in other countries | Th... - 1 views

  •  
    A person is much, much more likely to be killed by a gun in the United States than in any of these other countries, and it isn't remotely close. The gun homicide rate in the United States was more than 25 times higher than in other high-income countries, according to a new study in the American Journal of Medicine that examined death rates per 100,000 people.
  •  
    I do agree with the fact that people in america are more likely to be killed due to gun violence. But i think it is because our country is more privileged when it comes to even having access to them.

Anti-smoking vs. personal freedom - Philadelphia Business Journal - 1 views

  •  
    These is a great topic in my opinion. You hear so many people talk about how they have stop smoking to avoid getting sick in the future. I think its great that smoking is banned from many public places, because like they say second smoke has the same affect as if you where the smoker. I see that more and more people prefer non smoking hotel rooms, bars, restaurants etc its a better choose for are health. And like the article mentions of not hiring smokers.

  •  
    The subject of the child obesity epidemic has been high in the last 4 years. Did the government have to right to force what is or isnt allowed to be served, sold, and purchased on school campuses? This artical has it all explained pretty well.

    Jonathan S. Tobin is a well know Journalist who has won over 50 journalism awards and has had his articles posted in papers such as the NY Times and USA Today talks about how the governments is slowing taking away our freedom. The fact that the government feels they have the right to to tell us what we can or can not eat is amazing to me. To ban soda just because it is bad for you is unreal. If Americans chose to dink soda then that is their choice and they have to deal with the consequences. 
  •  
    Mayor Bloomberg(New York) banned all sugared soft drinks in containers over 16 ounces, because they are thought to be the main cause of obesity. People are outraged, not because they can't have soft drinks, but because a grown adult should be able to make their own decisions.
  •  
    New York City Mayor Bloomberg struck what he claims is another blow for the cause of public health yesterday by announcing a ban on the sale of all sugared drinks in containers that measure larger than 16 ounce servings. Although sugared drinks may cause weight gain, we as Americans should have the choice to drink as much as we want.
  •  
    I agree that it should be an individuals right to choose what they consume or do not consume. There needs to be more education as to how drinking soda in excess effects the body. The child obesity issue is getting out of control as children spend a lot of time using electronic devices rather than going outside to play. I also think that because of fast paced lifestyles and both parents having to work to support the family, children consume more convenience foods/drinks. I think the responsibility is on the individual to make healthy choices not for government to infringe on our personal rights.
  •  
    "... medical costs of the illnesses caused by drinking, eating and smoking are affected in one way or another by the public and that gives government the right to regulate and/or ban such items." I get why they are doing it, I really do. This is a personal freedom I think we should regulate ourselves. This article does have good points. I get sometimes we do need help, but why not attack the big soda companies as well.
  •  
    New York City Mayor is trying to ban sugar drinks that are larger than 16 ounces because it is one of the main causes of obesity. People argue that although they agree with the fact that soft drinks are indeed unhealthy, the government should protect the freedom of the people.
  •  
    taking away the drinks are going too far but the idea is right, obesity is a huge problem in the US and although it is an argument of freedom to eat, drink etc whatever you may please but when it comes to health that is a whole differnt concern.

Legalize Drugs Now! | American Journal of Economics and Sociology, The | Find Articles - 1 views

  •  
    This article talks about all the benefits our country would have if we legalized all drugs like countries like Amsterdam does. It would get rid off all organized crime. It would prevent the spread of disease.Reduces violent crimes and theft. People are given clean needles and their doses are monitored. Statistics also show that people who live in this type of a society usually stop using the drug eventually.

BBC - Wonder Monkey: Tiddle's law: should we restrict cat ownership to preserve wildlife? - 2 views

  • A 2003 study in the journal Mammal Review (view it as a PDF) suggested that cats predate 5 million reptiles and amphibians, 27 million birds and 57 million mammals in the UK each year. In the US, some estimates say 100 million birds are killed by cats each year (a Forest Service report by Erickson et al in 2005) and “more than a billion small mammals”, according to a study published this year by the American Bird Conservancy (view it as a PDF).

      I like how he tries to back up his statements with facts from published research, although the first link doesn't work. Bummer.

    Tiddle's law. Too many cats can destroy wildlife. They can be sweet and cuddly but a nusence at the same time.
