This is defiantly a situation that needs to be talked about because people really get this confused. I don't understand why people think that because you are defending yourself that is still considered to be murder. I understand that some people do use self defense as an excuse when they shouldn't because i mean people think they can just kill people for no reason and i don't think that it is right at all.

Japan's foreign minister agrees with this action, and says it is satisfactory. The pressure to leave Okinawa started in 1995 when three U.S personell raped a 12 year old Japanese girl

Arizona immigration laws have changed, causing one man's business to plummet. He sells tortillas for a living. Even though there is a recession going on, the new immigrant laws have had more of an impact on it than that. The new law has torn apart families and communities,and the people claim there are way more important issues than immigration. But not everybody disagrees with the law. You can still immigrate legally, but it specifically calls out illegal immigrants.

He deleted text messages that authorities had requested about a huge oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. They attempted to stop the oil flow by a "Top Kill" but it did not work because the oil flow was too much. BP was telling the public that it was way less, though.Mix is in big trouble beause of this.

I think this guy is just looking for an excuse to get out of killing all of those people. It happens all of the time. People go and do something stupid, and then they regret doing it, so they blame they're killing spree on violent video games. It happened with all of the GTA series of games. This excuse almost never works in court, many people have tried using it. He didn't kill all of those people because of Modern Warfare, and the judge is going to realize that and give him a life sentence in prison, or possibly more.

I really don't care about what i've recently done on facebook. I think it's kind of creepy that they collect data on us and use it to give us ads we might be interested in, and that is how they make all of their money. I believe that if you want, all of your data should be deleted

Paul Sammut, 25 years old, invented an alarm clock that keeps going off until you get out of bed. It has no snooze button, and if it is unplugged a battery takes over. Once it goes off, to stop it, you have to actually get out of bed and go into the kitchen or bathroom and type in the days date into a keyboard. He invented it because he needed something to force him out of bed on time. This is a good idea for someone who needs to wakeup on time, but I personally wouldn't buy it.

I just think this guy is completely insane. How can you possibly kill 77 people by just defending yourself in just one month? That is completely impossible. He should go to prison, but should also get  psychiatric care! You can not murder that many people and just brush it under the table by putting him in psychiatric care, he needs to be in prison, and not just for 21 years! He needs life in prison. Let him rot!

Bullying is a major issue in the world today. There is bullying all around us, sometimes we just don't open up our eyes and see it. There are kids everyday getting bullied to the point where they want to kill theirselves, and some of them do. That is not how it should be. No one person should have the right to physically and/or emotionally scar someone. You would have to be bullied for a long time to actually get to the point of suicide. Think about what you do before you do it, you never know what you could do to someone without even knowing!

A man was beaten and robbed in Baltimore. A man is just standing there when he gets robbed. He pursues the thief and gets punched and knocked down. He then got stripped and all people did was laugh at him. I think that it's really sad the world has come to this. The Baltimore police have identified one man included in the crime, and they are attempting to identify the rest. "This behavior will not be tollerated." states Detective Nicole Monroe.

I believe if you are legally married, no matter where you got married at, you should be allowed to be divorced wherever you please. I don't believe that you should be allowed to get married if you are the same sex, but if you do take your time and get married where it is legal then you should be able to get divorced no matter what state you are in. If it's legal then you should be have the same rights as others.

Yesterday we talked about the Miami Markins baseball team. They used to be the Florida Marlins, but they decided to change it to try and get more Cubans to come to their games, although their manager decided to say some choice words that many didnt agree with, so he got suspended for 5 games.

Facebook is becoming extremely lame. I think that they need to stay out of every other sites/apps business. I hate facebook accessing crap that they have no business in. It is cool that you can post photos onto facebook and other social networks. That is what makes people want to actually be a part of instagram. But actually linking facebook and instagram will not be a good idea.

A four year old boy from Arkansas was found in a river dead. He was at a boy scouts camp when he asked if he might be able to catch up with the rest of the group, 300 yards away. No foul play was expected.
How awful it would have been if he drowned. I know I sure wouldn't want to die that way. I want quick and painless, not slow and torturous.

People are deciding how much power congress will have. It is kind of a competition against the state and federal government. There are some main issues; Constitutionality of the individual mandate. Whether the individual mandate is a "tax", Whether other parts of the law can survive if the mandate is struck down, Federal vs. state conflict over expansion of the cooperative Medicaid program
