1. They are protesting for the ability to vote in the next election due to the fact that only a select few people get the privilage to vote.

2. The rights that are being taken is the freedom of petition, speech, expression, the right to vote at age 18 and the right to bear arms.

1. It shows that either not many people care about getting a degree, or the jobs they hope for does not require one.

2. I think that some people are just too lazy to put in the effort to get a bachelor's degree. Other's probably think they just can't. The select few that don't have them probably hoped for a job that didn't require it.

3. One solution could be to show people they could achieve a college degree and encourage them to try it.

1. President Obama basically attempted to get more global action against the ISIS threat.

2. I don't think he was completely unsuccessful in obtaining his objective. I think certains countries would assist in controlling these threats.

This article is on Isis and what it has become. Obviously, the leader is clever if he managed to keep his group alive through civil wars and is able to make sure there is things like food and gas for him 'followers.' And the fact that they have went from a military group to something scary and powerful. Isis is now becoming its own government instead of just a group.

1. Reasonable punishment is pretty much exactly what is says. It is punishment given for a crime or for discipline within reason.

2. When I was younger, a whipping was viewed as discipline, as long as it did not leave bruises or marks. If it did, it was child abuse; which is completely true. Now if you whip your child as parents did twenty years ago, it is apparently child abuse. I honestly believe that is why children today are so much more unruly than they were twenty years ago. Yes, you should discipline them, but within reason. A disciplinary whipping should never leave any kind of mark, and if you mean to teach them it never would. In this article, the father used a switch. That, I believe, was fine and wasn't child abuse as long as it didn't leave a mark.

This article is basically proof that you never know who you're around. The fact that there is a former WWII spy in West Virginia kind of surprises me. I would have thought they all were either deceased or living in a big, well-known city. What this man had went through and his actions just amazed me. I haven't heard of many people who would endure torture and still fight for the same cause. He is obviously very smart; due to the fact that he fled Germany when Hitler took power and then ended up becoming an American spy pretending to be an injured Nazi soldier. That would take a bunch of courage, knowing someone could always find out the truth at any moment, but doing it anyway.

1. It strips away all privacy and it could possibly allow other people to recieve personal information on other people.

2. The only reason I could come up with for them being near military bases is that someone is either planning something or the government is doing something else.

3. It is possible that they could be responsible. Maybe they are trying to find something that they believe is inside a military base. Maybe someone was giving out inside information and this could possibly be a way to stop it.

Bellringers 9/2/14

Honestly, I'm not surprised at all that something like this could happen. It was bound to happen I think. I do think about what I post and worry about what I send; therefore, I almost never post things on social media and I make everything private. That way, only people I really know would be able to see it. I think they should be prosecuted.

1. I believe this will have a huge impact on India because they are basically saying they will attack India.

2. I'm not entirely sure as to why they would be targeting India. It could be something to do with Jews and Hindus, or it could have something to do with British borders.

3. I think the U.S. should be on alert as well. If one place is being threatened, and two American journalists have already been killed, the U.S. should also get added security.

1. Rick Perry is accused of withholding funding for a Democratic general attorney's program; threatening the pull of $3.4 million from an annual state funding by abusing his veto power; one count of abuse of official capacity; and one count of coercion of a public servant.

2. I disagree with what he did. It was an obvious abuse of power. Although, I don't think that general attorney should still be an attorney at all, I still don't believe he had a good reason for doing what he did.
