Should Councils Stop Paying for Speed Cameras

Yes if they stop the speed cameras that would be good because they are not really useful. The reason they are not useful is because they that the fastest way they can make money and that is all the world it about today money. The people running this business spend pver 400,000 thousand dollars worth of cameras on the streets when it can go to better use people could use it on.

Swedish Theme Park

In swedish over the weekened there was an incident that happened. In one of the theme parks o one of the rides their were full at the time of the incident. The ride is called Rainbow it spins up and down. It is crazy how the theme parks dont have enough saftey in their parks when they make so much money. I remember hearing on the news when they were talking about how at six flags their was someones leg who got stuck on a ride and it kept going. When those things happen you have to be prepared because they can easily sue. They should make a monthly test to check all the rides so that when you dont have problems on the way.

Aid groups mull leaving Somalia

When i saw the title of this article i was thinking all man they are going to be talking aids in Somalia. As i was reading this article i did not know that innocent aid workers could be killed just because they have aids. The violence in Somalia have majorly increased now and through passed weeks. Half the people in Somalia have o food to eat. Two men were shot and killed to death in less than 24 hours which is crazy because they didn't do anything wrong its people who are cruel who are doing these things.

The Early Word: Obama on Iraq, Afghanistan

As i was reading this article i was comparing it to yesterday because i went to the obama rally and there were two sides one supporting and one going against him. It was interesting how it was because they were on the other side shouting horrible things and it was to me that we were being segrated all over again which wasnt very fun. They had signs that were saying things like 911 was an inside job and i was thinking Sen Obama wasnt the president so what is making you go against it. I understand that Obama wants to increase the amount of soilders which i understand that people might not want their families to go to war but you really cant do anything because they signed up for that life so they have to take risks. I was watching this show called army wives and they were pretty much saying the same thing. there was this one lady whos daughtter got into some trouble and her mom was being deployed which was going out to iraq. So she understood what she had signed for she was also concerned about her child. So she asked not to leave until she gets things straighten out with her daughter her granted is listed and approved which is good because they have time to talk but its not always going to work that way.

Basketball Diary: In Baltimore, Preparing for Beijing

I think this is a good experience from alot of people to go to beijing and to get involved in other foreign countries games. From the year 2004 the nuggets have traveled to beijing to participate and made it a yearly practice. They travel all around the world to help kids feel they can achieve the goals that they set their mine to. Over 2000 people come out each year for Carmelos annual get together with fun games and olympics mainly for the kids.

Missing US Iraq troops found dead

The war in iraq has got to stop because so many innocent people are dying and loosing their families. These two soldiers have been missing for over a year which is outrageous. People in the war i understand have courage and lots of wisdom but its knida of sad when they risks their chances of dying. The U.S troops have been through so many problems and have spend so much time and effort on us that its our time to give in. These two mans were very young, strong and knew what they were doing. they were passionate about what they did and believed they could do anything if they out their mind to it. Imagine if you get a call or visit from a person and they tell you your son or daughter is dead you be devistated because i know i would.

Global Warming Talks Leave Few Concrete Goals

In this article it talks about how all the goverments are looking towards president Bush on this issue until someonelse comes in and take charge because its so important. Looking at this it says by the year 2050 the heat and gas would be half of what it is now. By reducing heat and gas is only the first step of settling down Global Warming. Global Warming is continuing to get very bad and it will get worse if we dont get something going about it, it is going to be a big disaster. When i first i heard the term Global Warming i thought of wheather which what it sorta is. Global Warming is produced by Carbon dioxide and other air pollution that is collecting in the atmosphere Coal-burning power plants are the largest U.S. source of carbon dioxide pollution -- they produce 2.5 billion tons every year. Automobiles, the second largest source, create nearly 1.5 billion tons of CO2 annually. Also Cigarettes because the heat from the smoke or just the smoke is caught and trapped into the air. It is mostly heat.

Siemens Details Job Cuts

This article is saying ho they are cutting over 16000 jobs worldwide to cut down cost. I think that there are alot of new opportunities soon to come but soo their is ot going to be any because they keep cuting jobs each year. This world is goig to end very soon if people dont do anything because that is all people care about is money. It is good to save money which this company is trying to do but it is going right back to them so they are gaining from the profits they used to make.

Health Dept. Creates MySpace Page for Teens

In reading this article i think this website that NY has created which they are trying to reach out to teens through myspace will get through a little but not much because myspace is a place to talk to friends not to get thrown at with junk mail as they would put it. I think its great trying to help the kids get in contat but when you put it upon them it makes them feel forced into what they are doing. The NY company who made this website chose to make it in connection with myspace chose it because so many teens are on there that is the perfect way, which is really not the way.

Student stabbed and set alight

As i was reading this article i sad how could people be so cruel, killing two innocent men. I am saying to myself you cant control people they go through certainstages of their life and that is how they were brought up. You dont know if they have a criminal record but their should be people on duty to protect since that is their models. Reading the beginning of this article i thought they were innocent but in the middle and towards the end it seemed like they were into something. They were abused in so many ways stabbed over 100 times, injured in head, neck, chest. If these two men were looked for by whoever i think that they had to do a bad thing because they were stabbed and then set on alight.

Obama backs faith in public life

This article really reminds me of an inclass text about church and state because in this article it talked about should religious things be taught in schools and obama is talking about how he could increase religious groups. And what i said was since people go to church on sundays they can practice their religion on those days and during school they can do the basics. You dont want to fill a kids mind with just one subject that isnt related. Personally i think that their are so many religious groups out their that it would just be a waste of time because so many people are into other things that it is not enough time. Religious beliefs are a big issue in the world today that bringing in more is just asking for trouble. Canadites should mainly focus on issues that are useful; rather than religion because it is a big part but it can wait it should be focused on real world today.

Oil Demand Will Grow, Despite Prices, Report Says

Gas prices are very outrageous at this point, it is at the point where people do not want to drive because it is getting so expensive. In most foreign countries oil prices are expected to rise more than 3 percent during 2008-2013, and that is crazy because its not worth driving soon most people are going to depend on public transportation. The thing with public transportation is that it takes a while for you to get to your destination, and with a car you can easily drive there. Since the oil prices are at nearly 5.oo dollars a gallon it should stop now because soon most people wont be able to afford it because it is still expected to rise over the course of 4 years. I read that most car dealerships are trying to sell there cars at lower cost because they cant afford a car and gas so hey have to lower at least the cars to get them out the lot.

Starbucks

This article talks about how starbucks is closing down so many stores and they are trying to cut back at least 600 more stores worldwide. Most of these stores that are shutting down all over the world havent really been open that long so they are trying to find other positions for the employess to work within the company. When i read this article i was thinking to myself so many people go to starbucks and soon there is going to be a limit where they aren't going to be able to get because it is out of their way. Starbucks is going to loose so much money because most of their business is going to be lost. In the long run its going to be good because staying open is going to hurt their company if they dont get any business so i think its good to close some down they will save and make money. It is alo good because if their is least starbucks people wont get tired as fast as if it were right down the street.
