This is my favorite because it makes fun of the difficulty of the punch card ballots and how much they confused people. There was some fishy things going on then...that's why we now have electronic voting

Project Citizen

I believe what those Middle school kids did was awesome. They saw problems their school was having and they figured instead of just sitting around not doing anything about it, they would be the ones to speak up and make a difference. They didn't just try to throw anything together, it was actually very well planned a thought out. I really commend these young people for doing this; it shows age is not a factor in making a difference. Anybody can sit around and complain about a problem but it takes a very strong and determined group of people to actually solve a problem. If no one ever spoke out about a problem nothing would ever be done about it. If these young people can make a difference, than so can I or anyone else. All you need is a few people to step up, speak out, and have a very well thought out Plan of action to make to make things happen.

My perfect Candidate

If I could build my own personal political candidate, I would definitely start by making him a liberal.He would also be pretty young, someone in their mid forties/early fifties. This would ensure that he could relate to the youth better. He would be someone who stood up for the common man and not just the wealthy. My political candidate would end the war in Iraq as well as the war in Afghanastan, be a firm believer in pro choice, and women's rights. My candidate would also have extremely strict gun laws. All in all, if I could make my own candidate, he would be someone that was for the people and looked out for us.

I never thought I would be labeled as a conservative...I thought that I was more of a liberal. The fact that the quiz labeled me as a conservative really shocked me

EWWW that's gross

My question to you is do you think this is right?What ever happened to freedom of expression? Is this really offensive? What do you think theadministrators of Tuft University were thinking?

I definately agree with the college's policy. Having sex while your room mate is in the room is totally disrespectful and downright disgusting. If the roomate is fine with the fact that they're roomate is having sex while he/she is in there then that's him, but if the roommate is uncomfortable with it then i believe the offender should be punished to the highest extent. They're not violating anyone's freedom of expression, because sex is something that should be done privately, it isn't something that someone should have to witness if they don't want to. That is totally violating they're rights. i do not believe tUft University's Policy is offensive, I believe it was a good decision they made. I believe the Tuft administrators were looking out for the best interest of their students, because honestly, no one should have to be scarred for life because they witnessed they're roommate having sex with someone else. THat's just gross

The Death Penalty is right

I do believe that the death penalty is a proper form of punishment for cold hearted killers. When a murderer kills innocent people with no remorse, I believe that they do not deserve to live. They should be shown how it feels to have your life taken by another person and it is out of their control. Killing others is bad but when someone murders someone, as well as rapes, tortures, or kidnaps them before they do it, it is not only bad, it is also evil. These sorts of people do not deserve to live. They didn't give their victims a chance to live so why should society want to give them a chance at life? i truly believe in the saying an eye for an eye a tooth for a tooth.

First Amendment

I do believe that former president carter has a point to what he's saying. For someone to just blatently have an outburst like "You lie!!!" in such a serious setting its not only because he didn't agree with his health plan...it's also because he has something against Obama personally and I believe its because he's black. And in the Kanye West situation I do believe he was indeed wrong even though in this country there is the freedom of speech.This is to a certain extent. It was his opinion that Beyonce had a better video than Taylor Swift, but for him to come interrupt her happy moment for him to tell all of America his opinion was not right. It embarrassed her and when his freedom of speech affects other people, its not right. I do believe the media has a right to question his first amendment right because sure we have a freedom of speech but its always a time a place, and a manner to display a freedom of speech. I do believe most of the media story is one sided, most stories take up for taylor swift, however, there are some who try to defend Kanye West by saying he was intoxicated at the moment and that he really isnt in his right mind ever since his mother died. However, I do not believe there was any excuse for his actions

Obama's Speech

On Tuesday, September 9, President Barak Obama gave a speeh to students all across America. In this speech, his goal was basically trying to get students motivated and pumped up about school. He was trying to convince students to stay in school, study hard, concentrate on homework etc. His point of view was that education was the key to success not the false hopes of becoming rappers, actors, and things of that nature. I do think his goal was reached in a way because, his tone in the speech was so relaxed making it easy for students to relate which pumped them up even more about school. I personally do not think it was a montumental moment. This is because all my life I've heard the same cliche speech about how important education was and to stay in school. I don't think just because president Obama said it, it affected me more. I really didn't get much out of the speech simply because I've been hearing speeches similar in nature all my life from other people. His speech did not change my view on education because all of the things he said about education, I was already aware of. 

Is the Constitution really useful?

I believe that the Constitution is as useful as people make it seem. Most of the things written in the constitution are still in affect today. Things such as freedom of speech, religion, the right to bear arms, press, petitioning, all these things are still applied in today's society. Most people take advantage of these things everyday and never stop to think that all these things they do everyday applies to the constitution that was written way back when. So yes, I do believe the constitution is a relevant as people make it out to be.
