3-27-12 Assisted Suicide

I think that assisted suicide should be illegal because there are to many unknowns because as the article states there is the danger that people could be pressured into doing assisted suicide by relatives who don't wan to pay for medical bills anymore. It is a danger for society because people could take out life insurance  on other people and then force them into doing assisted suicide to collect this policy.

3-23-12 What would you do for your best friend

What I would do for my best friend is probably go into a burning building to save them, protect them if were being attacked, and help them financially.  

3-21-12 Good Friend

What I think that makes a good friend is someone who  will come and help you out when you have gotten yourself into trouble. Another quality that friend should have is that they can talk with you for a long time.

3-19-12 State funding for radio

I do think that the state should fund public broadcasting because it allows people with no access to a television or the internet to receive news that they would have not gotten. Public radio has programs that are both entertaining and compelling to listen which would be nearly impossible to broadcast on a television. My belief is that public radio is not a burden that is like corporate welfare, but an active part of peoples lives that benefits through providing news and broadcasting entertaining programs.

3-15-12 Pink Slime

Yes, I do think that pink slim or "meat" should be banned from school lunches and stores because it is unhealthy to be eating this. The USDA should try to provide schools with healthy food and not try to cut corners by buying food that is made from ground up, unusable body parts.

3-13-12 Rush Limbaugh comment

I do agree that a person should not be silenced because they made a comment that enraged the population, but I also think that Rush Limbaugh should be punished because he has made these types of comments before. Mr. Limbaugh does have the Constitutional right to say what every he wants because of the First Amendment.

3-8-12 NFL bounties

I think that NFL teams should not be allowed to put bounties out on other players because it endangers people and it is unfair if a player is targeted because they are a key part of the team. I think that the saints should be punished because they target players that would have made it harder for them to win. These bounties are dangerous to other teams and promotes more injuries.

3-6-12 Limitation extension

Yes, I do think that the limit for reporting sexual assaults should be lengthened to at least twenty years because these events can be very traumatic for people. My belief is that it is idiotic if the limitation for sexual crimes is not lengthened because six years is a pretty short time to get over trauma.  

3-2-12 Teacher's mean joke

I think this teachers statement and actions should be taken seriously because anything threat could escalate into violence where people die. This teacher crossed the line with his comment about how he would take his students up to the roof and shoot them.
