I agree with having prayer.because I do believe that there is a God and Christianity is the most common religion and most reasonable. I think that that Congress needs prayer. If people don't believe or are against this type of action then, they shouldn't have to participate. Nobody has to be a Christian to pray.

Mandatory organ donation:

Organ donation is a big part of our world and is always needed around. But, It's not a freedom to us if we are forced to do it. I vote for the Con group because everything that they said makes sense, but also Karla from the pro group also had a good point that it is in-human to let someone die when you know you can save them.

I am mutual. I feel like it's not good that Kmart did what they did. I feel like Thanksgiving is a holiday to just relax and eat a nice dinner with family. Kmart should just open later on for black Friday. I also feel like people are making a bigger deal out of it then they should. People get too worked up about things that shouldn't matter that much." Just calm down." That's what i would tell them.

Fridays debate:

Fridays debate was a good one. Both of the sides had great arguments.

After all when a person turns 18 they are legally and adult. I am pro.

10/31/13

1. There is any way to look at this letter, I see why she is doing this. But, I think she should just let it be. Let the parents parent their children the way that they want to. It shouldn't affect everyone else. It's not her, or her children so she or anyone else shouldn't worry about it,unless they are the ones that are obese.

2.It is her right,she has freedom of expression. I just think that it's a little harsh to the children,They might be obese, but it's not their faults. the letter would lower self-esteems on a holiday that's supposed to be fun.

Jane Addams:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jane_Addams

(Laura) Jane Addams (September 6, 1860-May 21, 1935) won worldwide recognition in the first third of the twentieth century as a pioneer social worker in America, as a feminist, and as an internationalist.

http://www.biography.com/people/jane-addams-9176298

Jane Addams wrote prolifically on topics related to Hull-House activities, producing eleven books and numerous articles as well as maintaining an active speaking schedule nationwide and throughout the world. She played an important role in many local and national organizations. A founder of the Chicago Federation of Settlements in 1894, she also helped to establish the National Federation of Settlements and Neighborhood Centers in 1911. She was a leader in the Consumers League and served as the first woman president of the National Conference of Charities and Corrections (later the National Conference of Social Work). She was chair of the Labor Committee of the General Federation of Women's Clubs, vice-president of the Campfire Girls, and a member of the executive boards of the National Playground Association and the National Child Labor Committee. In addition, she actively supported the campaign for woman suffrage and the founding of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (1909) and the American Civil Liberties Union (1920).

Jane Addams was almost seven years old when she first sensed that city life was not all ice-cream cones and visits to the toy store. The daughter of a well-to-do Illinois businessman, Jane often went with her father on his trips to the mills that he owned. She loved playing in the great heaps of grain in the storerooms. Such a trip usually ended with a stop at the local candy store.

I don't think video games are the cause of this. The man was probably mentally ill like the doctors said.

He was obviously mentally ill and just needs some time in prison for killing these inicent people.

I feel that security is a very important thing in everyones life. Everyone should feel safe and secure wherever they go. Privacy is also a very important thing and and a good thing. The issue is that people don't have as much privacy as they think, and people don't feel secure like everyone should.

    Martin Luther King Jr. was a very nobel person. He knew what he wanted in life and he wasn't going to go down without a fight. He believed that All whites and balcks should and need to be equal, and I agree 100%. All he wanted was peace. His dream was simple. and after him, many things did change, but it wasn't untill a little bit ago that people became equal. Even though it has improved since then, some people are still very raciset. I heard of a story where an owner of a bar wouldn't let a guy in because of the color of his skin...but should it matter? in my opinion, we are all people. That is how Mr. King feels too. His dream is for peace. who doesn't want that?
