http://mobile.nytimes.com/2014/11/30/opinion/sunday/hydrogen-cars-coming-down-the-pike.html I'm glad to hear that new cars will be coming soon to help climate. It will be better on gas so it can be used more efficiently but it also will cut down on pollution in areas. Here in the U.S. pollution isn't bad but in other countries where it is bad will need them. Plus with the cutting down on gas will help our economy.
I agree! I feel as if everyone used a fuel efficient car it would help our ecosystem tremendously. Its scary to think about how many people win the World are driving and polluting the air. Our society seems to not be worried about problems with pollution but its something we should be worried about because we only have one chance to take care of our planet and we will never be able to go back in time to “undo” pollution. We can only prevent it and I think these cars will help!
I agree that having hydrogen cars is a good thing, however they will take a long time to be put into place. Like the article said it's going to take ten years for California to put in just 100 hydrogen stations, and we're still working on the electric stations. In Oregon the electric charge stations have been put in pretty much everywhere but in other states it's more difficult to adapt to these changes. Places like California that have the money, and the population to do things like this have an advantage, other states may take a long time to get these, let alone wait for everyone to rid their old cars for these new economicaly better, but much more expensive cars. Even the "hydrogen fuel" will cost more.
That's really great. I would expect the west to adapt more quickly with these new cars. Over the years cars have gotten more and more fuel efficient. Hopefully most cars will produce little to no emissions. It would definitely help out the environment.
http://mobile.nytimes.com/2014/11/30/opinion/sunday/can-mushrooms-treat-depression.html I for one say if this can work I say that it should be legalized. Depression is becoming a more serious problem with the newer generations and sooner or later everyone will have it. This would prove bad for everyone. But if there is even a chance it could be slowed helped or stopped then we should look into it.
This article brings up the point that they need to find a new pentagon chief that best suits Obama but what about what best suits the people? Since Obama is on his way out and he is representing the people shouldn't our government be turning to us for some input on who we think would serve the people and our nation the best?
I completely agree Asia. I think we need to find a new pentagon chief that best suits the people of the United States and will represent us well. My question is why we need to find a chief that best siuts Obama? Even though he's our leader we should have choices too.
After what happened in Missouri these past few weeks Ferguson has become the new F bomb. It is being brought into every argument and dispute between a white and a black. This article just clarifies that what people go through should not be based on race. They ever burned the American Flag in the protest. Not only going against whites but the entire country.
i love reading articles about racial problems because i like to see peoples problems on this subject. its a tough subject, i agree. because there's so much controversy. i like what the writer said about how the complaint and angry about the system, not just the system itself. see like i personally think theres a problem with the system. not just in a judicial perspective, but in a local point of view as well. officers are supposed to protect, not all officers are bad, but i have heard plenty of stories of arrogant officers seeming to seem bigger than the law because they wear a badge. theres been a recent story i just heard about a black male getting choked to death by an officer. you'll probably hear about it soon but this whole racial profiling, which overall isnt true. just twisted minds and media gassing up the fume to a situation.
This article is actually pretty wonderful. I agree that i love reading articles based on racial problems . I think that most of the cases shouldn't even be able to be said that they are about race. Calling a problem "Based on race" just gets the media wound up . I think it was very disrespectful that they burned the American flag, and it really just shows that they really are disrespectful and idiotic.
http://www.nytimes.com/2014/12/01/opinion/women-who-work.html?ref=opinion This article is about a pregnant woman who was treated unfairly. She had unpaid temporary leave and UPS didn’t accommodate her needs. It talks about how many woman in the workforce will/have become pregnant and still need a job even if the doctor doesn’t allow them to lift heavy things or do things that the person does on a daily basis. UPS doesn’t want to give pregnant woman more advantages than other people but I believe that what needs to be done is giving the women jobs that don’t require hard labor such as an office job during pregnancy. UPS is changing their policy on January 1st but the rules still seem unfair.
I agree that a pregnant women should still be able to keep the job but have a more easy task because of her conditions. Giving the pregnant women more advantages is not unfair because she is not able to perform the same tasks as others can do. Of course many pregnant women live in a harsh economic so they need the job. I believe that not letting the pregnant women keep the job and do something different is unfair. I understand people might get upset because they are doing something more easy without earning the way up but also they have to understand she's not able to accomplish the same activities as others.
http://www.nytimes.com/2014/12/03/opinion/is-obamacare-destroying-the-democratic-party.html?ref=opinion its selfish for Schumer to accuse Obama of basically picking Obamacare over the Democratic party. For one, this act was promised and promised all along in Obama's speeches, annoucements, and even part of his campaign. He had to go through with it, and while helping the poor or the elderly get the care they need, it backfires somehow into it being all Obama's fault for the senate floor taking a Republican majority. It seems that Obama can take one foot forward then 10 steps back in the media.
http://www.cnn.com/2014/12/03/justice/ferguson-protests/index.html?hpt=hp_t2 I've been following along on this whole controvarsy and I never heard about Mike Brown's stepdad potentially "aggravating" the riot. On one stand point, if anybody should be mad, its him, that was his stepson, his family. On the other hand, since he was so significant during this case and stands for Mike Brown, when other rioters heard him say "Burn this place down!" they felt it was okay. He should of handled the situation better, and frankly, if the family was so concerned on keeping peace around this whole case, the stepfather should not have been in this scenary to begin with. The court probably decided not to press charges because they can understand his motive, and with Mike Brown's stepdad coming forward with an apology, it makes things easier and more obvious as to why he did it.
i like what Ben Carson has to say. he basically explains how america has depicted the words of people and have made people scared to speak their mind. i like what the article says because right now, when people read the link to the page, they see "NAZI GERMANY" and think holy crap! nazis. and will click onto it faster than i eat cookies with milk. but back to my point, Ben just speaks the truth about how the government has made the people of the US fear being heard.
In this documentary piece by vice Mark Danner talks about how the Bush administration failed to show how much of a disruption we would create in the Middle East. It didn't just start with the Bush administration, it started with the Reagan administration when they gave power and money to the militant groups of these areas. The funds and weaponry and information we gave them to fight the soviets backfired and led to us being attacked on 9/11 by the very same groups we helped. In term we helped Al Qaeda grow and ISIS is just its spawn. A more heated, more angry spawn. 2,996 died on 9/11 the wars after killed 2,500,000 people. http://youtu.be/GU2avVIHde8
The Federal Communications Commission is auctioning off wireless frequencies. Much of which are going for tens of billions of dollars. Show the world how truly much telecommunications markets are booming. Even though these companies are bidding for this it doesn't seem right to the FCC for what they are auctioning off. Due to the president trying to limit the companies such as Verizon and Sprint from having too much of a share in a market aka a monopoly. But some of the money raised will be used for firstnet which is used commonly by police and fire fighters and other public safety agencies. We however suspect that these bidding's will go to court if Obamas plan goes into place.
I think this story is interesting because it raises the question, how much regulation and control does the government have over new technologies? Many would say that radio frequencies are something that shouldn't be touched by the government, but I side with the FCC on this. The monopoly that companies such as Verizon and Sprint have on the market is startling. The precedent for slowing down the growth of this monopoly was set when the merger of AT&T and T-Mobile was blocked, so the auctioning of wireless frequencies by the FCC should comes as to no surprise.
http://www.nytimes.com/2014/12/04/opinion/gail-collins-of-taxes-pigs-and-congress.html?ref=opinion&_r=0 In this article, the author expresses her frustration regarding Congress’s failure to pass any significant tax policy legislation. This article specifically is written in the wake of Congress passing a tax bill that will expire in several weeks. I disagree with the way this article was written. The author employs poor humor throughout the article to express her distaste for Congress, but backs it up with little evidence. Tax policy is never going to be as cut and dry as the author wants it to be because there will always be someone that is hurt by the new policy. If Congress acts one way, the rich outcry, and if they act the other way, the poor are enraged.
http://www.cnn.com/2014/12/03/justice/new-york-grand-jury-chokehold/index.html?hpt=us_c1 In this article it's talking about all the people who are protesting in New York City because of Eric Garner's death. A 350 black man and father of six children who was put in a choke hold because he was suspected of sailing tax free cigarettes. A police officer put Garner in a choke hold, which is prohibited by the NYPV, and later he was declare dead. I believe this is an unfair act the police officer committed because Garner wasn't committing or showing any harm to the police officer. Garner had history of asthma and I don't blame the police officer for not knowing but the law was prohibited for a reason! Many people are protesting this as an act of racism and connecting it to the death of Michael Brown. I believe this is no act of racism, it was just something that shouldn't have happened and it also happened during the wrong time.
http://www.nytimes.com/2014/12/03/opinion/modern-slavery-grows.html?partner=rssnyt&emc=rss&_r=0 In this article, the author talks about a problem that I have heard about, but until reading this article, never realized how bad it really is. The problem of modern-slavery is growing. The United Nations estimate that there are 21 million people trapped in forced labor. The global slavery industry is estimated to make a staggering $150 billion dollars a year. India has the most slaves followed by China, Pakistan, Uzbekistan, and then Russia and those countries make up 61% of the worlds slaves. What I find really sad is that most of the slaves are sex slaves, so women and girls who make up 70% of the total slaves. Individual countries have made laws, but the trafficking still goes on illegally. I think that this should be something that the United Nations steps in on and enforces as one of its top priorities.
So, according to this article Jeff Sessions, a Republican from Alabama announced that they have decided not to impeach President Obama for passing the immigration bill, but they probably use Congress' power of the purse and force the White House to back down. Until the next October, through this fiscal year, they are going to try and pass a short-term bill to over turn President Obama's actions every month which might result in a financial shutdown of the government every month. Some of the politicians of the same party argued how stupid basically, this would be but they were quickly shot down. I agree with the author in saying that it is outrageous that those people in congress are willing to shut down the government just to achieve their goals.
This is another racial issue that is going on. The article states "In city after city, white and nonwhite citizens have surged through the streets chanting or bearing signs with Mr. Garner’s final words: “I can’t breathe.” Others chanted: “Hands up; don’t shoot” or “Black lives matter” " I think this is completely irrelevant. They make it seem like no one cares about the other races living in this country. My personal opinion is that if we didn't care we wouldn't let other ethnicity's into our country. Everyone just turns everything into a race issue when in reality, these officers are doing there jobs to protect the citizens around them .
http://www.foxnews.com/us/2014/11/29/citing-hostility-and-assaults-in-their-homeland-scores-russian-gays-seek-asylum/ This article is about gay Russians seeking asylum here in the U.S. I first want to say that I think it sad that these peoples are treated badly over in their home country. The fact that this person got beaten is really terrible. Honestly those people that are so bothered by it need to stop being so tunnel visioned and leave those people be. They don't biter them in any shape or form by them loving a person of the same gender so why hurt them. As for Russia having an anti-gay climate I think that's bad. People need to learn to accept and love each other no matter what. This is something they need to fix as an entire nation. While as for asylum I feel as it should possibly be granted as a result of those people being a risk at their home country so it makes sense to help them.
http://www.cnn.com/2014/12/04/politics/republicans-voting-immigration-bill-shutdown/index.html?c=politics&page=0 This article is about immigration. I wish that those people against the reform would just slightly put themselves in the shoes of those immigrants that have to go day to day living in the shadows. I don't understand why they don't like the idea. It wouldn't effect anybody negatively so why would they worry so much. In fact it'll be helping many people to keep their families intact and be here okay and be able to work. When they say it isn't correct. I can't seem to see how it is "correct" to separate many families and cause children to suffer as a result of that. I don't think that's what America is about. I think that America is a land of opportunity for people of all races. So I feel that these immigrants should be granted the gift of being able to stay here legally.

This is becoming way too common. I feel like everyday we hear about a a cop killing a black man. There has to be some change because this is not right. And a lot of the times the victims are unarmed.
This article is about the unrest in Ferguson and the rest of the nation. Everyone has heard about the case and the effect of it across the nation. If has brought the subject of police brutality and discrimination again. Similar incidences are coming up everywhere. In New York a Black man was choked to death by an officer on camera. The man said he couldn't breathe bit the officer killed him. The officer was not indicted. New York and other cities in the USA are protesting. Many believe, including myself, that the justice system is unfair and against our black men. Could these cases bring about a new movement?

ReplyDeleteThis article is about the unrest in Ferguson and the rest of the nation. Everyone has heard about the case and the effect of it across the nation. If has brought the subject of police brutality and discrimination again. Similar incidences are coming up everywhere. In New York a Black man was choked to death by an officer on camera. The man said he couldn't breathe bit the officer killed him. The officer was not indicted. New York and other cities in the USA are protesting. Many believe, including myself, that the justice system is unfair and against our black men. Could these cases bring about a new movement?
