    The article describes how we are will to show our lives on social media for anyone to see not realizing how much is not private. Then talks about how upset we get when the Government is looking at us.

    Data shared is data glared and the whole world is ready to see what a person is socially about. Its a situation that has a lot of people worried after they are usually suffering the consequences of freely putting out their information for the world to see. It seems that these popular user friendly social site are conditioning the average user to do so and the government eye is also watching.

    I couldn't agree with this article anymore! We complain about how we have no privacy from the government and everything we do or say is being monitored but then we go an post very personal and open things on Facebook and Twitter for everyone to see. It's okay for us to do it to ourselves but once the government does something we immediately put all the blame on them.

    I agree 100% with what this article is saying. How can we complain about living in a "big brother" society, when we post every aspect of our lives on social media websites? I see some postings on Facebook from people that literally record every hour of their day, from the time they wake up, to the time they log off and go to bed.

    I think this article is ideal to make people aware, because when regarding social networks, who really reads the privacy policies and such? That being said, this is a scary thing. Sometimes we don't even realize we're posting our location all over the web.

    This article is eye opening. Most of us use social media to stay connected to friends and family. I'm sure I have been guilty of similar situations.

    It is amazing how much information people put out there. At work, we have to take compliance courses every year. Just last year, they added a couple of modules on social media, and what is expected of you in relation to the information about work that you put out there.

    What would happen if the United States suddenly stopped building walls and instead flung open its borders, not unlike the European Union has done among the member countries of the common market? Conservatives malign the notion and liberals, even radical ones, haven't exactly embraced the "open borders" concept.

    President Obama's executive action to expand gun sale background checks has opened up a legal can of worms. Specifying he means that background checks were a joke before he came into office. Anyone was cable of buying a gun with with no worries since President Obama been in office its mandatory for everyone to get a background check before the purchase of the weapon.

    While many are protesting Twitter's new censorship attempt, they are not seeing that it will actually help preserve freedom of speech in the US rather than censor it. The only countries that would be held to the certain censorships are ones that request it per religious, historical, or cultural reasons. So, freedom of speech on Twitter will be opened up in the US rather than restricted by the international growth.

    Paper written by a research assistant at the Makkula Center for Applied Ethics at Santa Clara University. Posted just under two months after 9/11. This issue discussed is what freedoms and how much should be surrendered for safety. Past issue of freedoms being taken in times of wars and other emergency situation. Thought provoking and maybe even a little eye opening.

    This is crazy its about how the copscan arrest you on the spot if you can't prove your citizenship status. Further more it states that if you buy a gun made in Arizona you don't have to register it.
  • dsmoliver1 on 31 Jan 15
     
    The weapon of choose becomes their Constitution right to bear arms. Perhaps that prospect will make police a little more concerned about who they round up on the streets. We doubt it. Weapon's instructors in Arizona feel cheated by the state's law makers as they are killing their business.
  • anonymous on 31 Jan 15
     
    It is wrong to be stopped by patrol just because you don't seem to look like you're from the US. As for the weapons not having to be licensed also defeats the purpose. I think anyone who owns a concealed weapon should be trained on how to use it, and with that you have to own a license.
  • anonymous on 31 Jan 15
     
    I defiantly disagree with both of these laws. I don't think it is right that a cop can pull someone over just to make sure they are legal. I also think in order to be allowed to handle a gun people should go through safety classes.
  • lukemclellan on 03 Feb 15
     
    I think there should be a little more added to both these laws. If you want to search someone regardless of race, gender, religion or whatever you should need probable cause. Also I think if you are going to handle any type of weapon you should have some background with weapons handling; maybe off free weapons safety classes at public ranges?

    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.

    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.

    The article discusses the reason behind the gay marriage and why its so controversial right now. It stays that same sex marriage futher threatens the American's religious rights. "The "sanctity of marriage" will be further undermined if the institution is open to "profane" homosexual unions. Unlike many American conservatives, liberals tend to regard marriage primarily as an expression of love and commitment, often taking God out of the equation. "

    This tells the pros to why prostitution should be legalized. Some including improving neighborhoods and safety, reducing crime, puts law enforcement to better use, and it promotes liberty and privacy. But as we all know there are cons that go with it. You will have cons with everything. This article is good to read if you have an open mind. Some of the ideas do make sense.

    The pros and cons of SOPA and PIPA are discussed in this article. There is also an alternative introduced in this website about the OPEN Act.
  • Christina Shepherd on 27 Jan 12
     
    Media Privacy, copyright infringement is what PIPA and SOPA is about. they want to block certain domains like the pirate bay and mega upload from giving away movies and music. Even payperview fights are on the pirate bay. for example, if comcast or century link didn't want you to access piratebay.org they could block it but there is still a way to get to the website through other ways so PIPA and SOPA had to drop it.
