I read about this over the weekend and that's nuts! It honestly surprises me that a white and black never attended the dance together as a date. I think its dumb to even raise the money for two proms, because that's extremely expensive in the first place. In the 21st century you would think we wouldve had an integrated prom in GA.

I think its ridiculous that they think strapless dresses are distracting to young boys; its the halter dresses that push up their boobs is the problem. Also, it's not like the boys are doing school work during the dance, so they're allowed to be distracted. Dresses are made to make women look beautiful and feel beautiful; it's seriously not a big deal to have your shoulders out, and its extremely hard to find dresses with straps that are cute. If the little boys can't concentrate, because women are wearing their shoulders out are going to have a serious problem.

Civics Assignment 4-17-13

1. The consequences are harsh for people who commit acts of terrorism, and can result in life in jail, death penalty and high security prisons. I believe the difference between a citizen and a non-citizen committing these acts are that a non-citizen is not required or promised due-process. Which means the penalty comes much quicker and can be much harsher. However, there are still rights reserved to those without citizen-ship and we cannot commit any cruel or unusual acts upon them.

Information that coordinates:

The dates, times, places, and amount of people running in the race all coordinates. In addition to this information, all the sites state that it was Boston's 117th marathon; which is the oldest and most prestigious race.

Information that is different:

In all four sites, it does not coordinate the amount of deaths; some say that more than three died, some say that 2 died and some say that exactly three died. Some of the sites state more than 100 people were injured, however a couple of sites stated that less than 100 and more than 130 people have been injured. Also, different people are being blamed for this tragedy on all the sights. A few mentioned the guy on the roof and others talk about someone putting the pressure cookers in the trash cans.

1. I think its extremely dumb to make it that available to people, however I don't think it should be illegal.

2. I will never give my zip code again. Even though I doubt they care that much about me to do that research, I feel like it is an invasion of privacy.

3. I don't feel like we should make decisions after tragedies and in spite of those tragedies, but out of facts and that is not what is happening in Manchin-Toomey's bill. These decisions are not being developed from fact but from feelings and that is the reason they are (literally) being shot down by the Senate. Manchin is going to have a hard time fighting for his spot when we vote for our next Senator.

I think it is going to be hard to defend our country from others when we are blowing ourselves up. Also, even though I have no idea if this kid really did do it, I think we shouldn't racially profile. He may just be here for schooling! We searched his apartment, because we saw him running away from the explosion like a normal person. I think the person who was carrying two bookbags should have been checked.

That is absolutely ridiculous! If it is passed that one is not allowed to BEAR arms outside of the home to protect oneself then we might as well right a sign on all the young women stating "rape me, I have nothing of which to protect myself" and telling all muggers that they can steal my grandmothers' purse. I would love for one official to make a decent statement about why it is wrong to be able to protect yourself, and then I will finish my rant about how DUMB gun control is. Let's bring D.C into this argument- not allowed to carry a weapon at all- highest gun violence rate. Let's think about how effective that legislation was.. oh that's right, It WASN'T!

All this says is that a man bought a gun before he was cleared in the system and that was illegal. This is why harder background checks are not going to make a differnce while purchasing a gun.
