11/1/10 U.S troops were involved in the torturing and killing Iraqi civilians. Shiite took over Iraq security forces and tortured and tortured Sunni prisoners, and American soldiers did not do anything about it. Iran has been involved with arming and training Shiite. Americans were accused of killing Iraqi citizens, in total of all there are about 100,000 Iraqi deaths. The //New York Times// has contributed in exposing how outscored the Iraq war was. I highly doubt this article's information is true. The soldiers are there to protect the people, if what they say is true then the soldiers aren't doing anything. Also if they did kill civilians they would be in like mega ultra huge trouble. Also how it says "U.S soldiers //sometimes// witnessed the abuse without protest" seems to be a little overloaded. I'm sure this was very rare, but since it happened even rarely the term "sometimes" is appropriate. I do think it is terrible of what the Shiite are doing and it was wrong of them. Overall, I think this article is somewhat trying to insult our troops.

10/7/10 I chose the article about gay adoption. I agree that the law was struck down. It is wrong to prevent gay people from adopting children. They have every right to adopt them. However, I don't think they should adopt a child. I just think that they should be allowed to, but it is not a good idea for them to adopt a child. The reason i say this is because a child should have a mother and a father, not two fathers or two mothers. If they have two mothers or fathers it can change how they think or act for the worse. They would not understand what having a mother or a father would be like, and they may possibly be lead to think people are supposed to be with their same gender. The child will not have any aspects that the father or mother would normally give them as well.


 * What happened to my other comments? Ok, easy fix... Tell us about the story first. Don't tell me what you chose, just tell me the story as if you were a newscaster. Then, you can give your reaction based on the story you just told me. Give it a try next time!**

9/22/10 My reaction to the "End to child begging" article was astonished. It was right of them to stop children for going out to beg for money. Not only was it wrong for them to get whipped, but putting them in the street barefoot was also very abusive. If they need money they need to get a job or go beg themselves. They could put on some music and break it down! They would get a lot of money off that. They can also fish since there is an ocean right next to them and catch some epic stuff like sharks and what not. they can also play music to entertain some people, or even jump off a 40 foot high apartment like that guy in the article above and land in a sandbox full of candy! Who wouldn't pay to see that? Anyway, what they said about how it is a custom from their ancestors, if it was then other Muslim clerics would do the same thing, but they do not.

9/15/10 My reaction to the acticle was much more than amazed. It sounds awesome besides that the car got destroyed and the guy almost died. If the person would not get mad and i would not get hurt i would so do that. Its like sky diving but no parachute. Anyway I think the women should press charges against him even though her car saved his life. It was completely the guy's fault her car was destroyed and he should pay for it.If he jumped on my car I would make him not only pay for the car, but for saving his life.
