1.) I do in a way, but then again I don't. I think all this stuff about obesity and testing people for it is kind of ridiculous. If someone wants to be fat, and unhealthy. So be it.
2.) No, because muscle weighs more than fat. So it doesn't define if you are fit or not.
3.) If I was a Gov. official I would probably have a different opinion because obese people need more care, and medical attention which would cost money. But can the government really stop us from being fat?

BR 10/28
1.) I have mixed feelings. I mean, I'm in agreement with him, but sort of not. Only because I've never thought of it that way.
2.) I do think is right half way. But, it's hard to choose because I would have never thought in that way.
3.) I still feel like there is an issue because people don't know how to let things go and move in. Like wars and confederate flag opinions.

1.) I feel like this is ridiculous for the man to sue for injuries he will never recover from. Someone that is injured does not push off a giant rock, he is just searching for free money.
2.) He caused the destruction of property, so he should be charged.

BR 10/21/13
1.) It is so hard for people to break away from cell phones in the day and age because we use them for everything. We use them to communicate for personal reasons, work related, calcualtors, calendars, internet resource, just about anything. Cell phones have become a way of life.
2.) Even though it wouldn't be fun, I could survive without it. I use it a lot everyday, but I would just have to adjust without it I suppose.

Now that the government is re-opened, they can start making some better decisions and get their stuff together. While the government shutting down didn't bother me, it did affect many people and their jobs. I'm still slightly confused as to why it was even shut down anyway? But, they could at least get stuff together and do something.

BR 10/16/13
1.) Yes, I think they should be charged because they need to take responsibility for what they did.
2.) A misdemeanor is doing something minor wrong, and a felony is a more major breaking of the law.
3.) I think that bullying is a problem, I really do. But I think the "education" about bullying it a bit extreme. For example, the movie we watched a couple years ago about bullying was taken way to far. I think that kids now have enough decency and maturity to stop bullying if it is being done that badly to other kids.

I think this article is odd. I'm confused as to why the janitor wanted the kids to beat up the other. Was it for enjoyment? Or was the janitor trying to side with the kid being bullied? I'm not sure, but I think this is blown out of proportion and pretty stupid.

This is about how protesters went and protested to open the World War 11 memorial again. I think all the is ridiculous, that memorial was made and put there for the Veteran's, they should be allowed to go there no matter what government issues are going on.

1.) It is not fair for people to pay for our national governments mistake. They seem to be causing enough problems, when and if they can actually make a decision.
2.) I would want to visit Acadia because I want to go swimming there.

BR 10/10/13
1.) It says that the state of our legislative branch is still making bad choices and not thinking things through.
2.) I would probably vote against it because they are making bad choices and I would want to try and change them, or because I would want to see different ideas than what they are offering now.

BR 10/9/13
1.) Yes, I think it should be limited some because it's not fair for someone to win just becasue of their campaigning skills. Campaigning does show your passion for what you want to do, but it should be limited. Plus, it gets annoying after awhile.
2.)  Because it allows McCutcheon to say whatever he wants.
3.) Absolutely not, it's their money. They worked for it, so they should be able to spend it however they please. Would I want someone telling me how and when to spend MY money? No way.
4.) Depending on your and how you campaign, you could win by not doing much.

I think they can change the name of their football team because it's their team. If they want to change it, go for it. I do not watch football, nor do I really care. So, they can do it if they want; wouldn't bother me any.

BR 10/7/13
1.) I think this shows that our national security is not impossible to cheat, or to break the rules. I could say that they could improve the system, but I don't know what else they could do to improve it.
2.) This does not surprise me because even though we think our security is top notch, things can still happen, even in 2013.

BR 10/4/13
The articles talk about a woman driving a vehicle with a child in the backseat. She ended up getting shot and killed on the scene. Both articles discuss how she was mentally ill and and on medication. The articles gave about the same information, but the CNN article was more detailed.

BR 10/2/13
I have no idea why this is such a big deal. Like honestly. It's not affecting my everyday life, so I do not care. The government eventually will re-open after their "shut down." As well as everything else that is on temporary shut down. If I was lucky enough to be one of the people that worked at a place that was shut down, I would be living this up, enjoying my vacation, and quit freaking out.

BR 10/1/13
I think this is completely blown out of proportion. I could really care less about all of this.
1.) Why hasn't this happened since 96?
2.) Why if this was such a "big deal" we were semi-knowledged about this?
3.) Why are people not at work over this?
