I don't even have to read the whole article to form an opinion. No, video games do not cause violent shootings. Bad parenting causes shootings. These games are first of all designed for 20-30 year old's. Plus, you have to be 17 to be purchase these games. It always falls back to the parents. If you're buying your child a violent video game, maybe think a little bit before you get your 10 year old Grand Theft Auto. They have to be responsible. If video games make kids violent, I have played Madden '13 and why am I not in the NFL yet?

1. 1.) Kids committing suicide.
    2.) Looking for possible drug connections.
    3.) Cyber Bullying is also a hot topic among the internet.

2.Sort of.... Like it's out there for everyone to look at, no matter who the person is.

3. I would be a little indifferent about it. If I'm going to talk about my drug deals, I'm not going to do it publicly over Facebook, duh.

1.Well as a whole, America is pretty good about being tolerant and accepting, but there are always dumb Twitter people saying dumb Twitter stuff on any subject all the time.

2.I think Civil Rights has, and there are people that do care for their fellow man, but there will always be people who are just ignorant, and un-accepting.

50 Years ago today, a tragic event occurred-- the bombing of a Black church in Birmingham, Alabama. This bombing killed four little girls. The four girls, Addie Mae Collins, Cynthia Wesley, Carole Robertson, Denise McNair, changed the course of history as we know it. This blast was planned by the Ku Klux Klan. This was very important, especially because civil rights was a big issue at the time

Assignment 9/12/13 Reactions

My reaction to the video was pretty intense. It's pretty scary to actually have an inside feel of what was going on at the actual time. You could feel the fear and desperation in the man's voice as he was trying to talk on the phone. It was a kind of intense feeling that can't be imitated. Something that no actor could pull off. I can't imagine what the feeling was to be there in the midst of it all, when it affected me pretty harshly.

There are a few accounts on this resource that are all pretty "heavy." The first story is about a man who was living in New York for a very short time, but gotten a phone call from his parents in Australia explaining what was happening. He opened his door to snap some pictures of the events and soon found himself dodging falling debris. Then, in a matter of minutes, was escaping from his small apartment and down the street to avoid that of a whole tower turning into that of rubble. It is pretty hard to think about that because what if I was there? My adrenaline would be pumping furiously, I'm sure, and I wouldn't be thinking about anyone else but myself just trying to get out of there and to safety.

This is an article of first hand accounts from people in the North Tower. The frantic reactions of all the people makes everything seem so real. I couldn't imagine being in that situation. Hearing all these situations out in my head reminds me of horrific instances in the past that I've encountered. After reading this article, it puts me in the mindset of protection over privacy. Nobody wants that to happen, and if searching your Facebook means stopping a terrorist, I believe it's necessary to do so.

Basically it's saying, that the number of people who needed benefits have increased. Job seekers may see this as beneficial because employers would be looking for more people who actually want jobs.

2.Slightly, I think this is a step in the right direction for the economy.

When it comes to privacy and security, there's a thin line between the two. On one side, you have people that say that privacy is your business and you should have the right to keep it to yourself, on the other side the government needs to know certain things to prevent possible catastrophe. Security is key for preventing attacks against this country, but it is a right to have your privacy. I think it should be dealt with something like warrants, if there is probable cause to investigate further into some possibly malicious, I think security is more important than privacy.

1.) I don't think they should increase their prices in their dollar menu, but maybe put more choices in the dollar menu.

2.) I don't think they should increase wage because then the food we've come to know and love at a reasonable price would increase too.

1.) Engineering, Technical and Math. But really you should persue what ever field they want to.

2.) More information in the Physics department.

3.) Maybe, I was interested in a field in physics. But likely it won't. It doesn't change anything I thought beforehand.

 Well perhaps it is, but maybe it isn't necessarily either. The report didn't say what exactly they were looking for on these Facebook users, but as far as personal information, all of that is available on the user's profile. But personal messages should not be available to anyone but the sender and recipient. No I have not read them, like, c'mon no one reads those things.
I think it is. But perhaps it isn't either, if the authorities have probable cause it could be okay.
