1.) What does it mean to you to save money? It means a lot. It is important to save money for when theres emergencys or something, and you might need it.

2.) Are you good at saving money? Why or Why not? I think I'm pretty good at it. I realize necessities are more important than anything.

3.) What are some ways for you to get better at saving money? Maybe once I actually start having my own money I'll realize it's important to save it. Just doing this activity makes me realize how difficult it is and how much money I actually need. Don't buy things you don't need.

4.) Why is it good to put money in the bank? So you have a place to safely keep it all.

5.) Do you think it is important to save your money ? I think it's very important. Money is hard to come by and you need to spend it wisely so you don't starve and die.

Japan's foreign minister agrees with this action, and says it is satisfactory. The pressure to leave Okinawa started in 1995 when three U.S personell raped a 12 year old Japanese girl

Arizona immigration laws have changed, causing one man's business to plummet. He sells tortillas for a living. Even though there is a recession going on, the new immigrant laws have had more of an impact on it than that. The new law has torn apart families and communities,and the people claim there are way more important issues than immigration. But not everybody disagrees with the law. You can still immigrate legally, but it specifically calls out illegal immigrants.

Kurt Mix is facing a maximum penalty of 21 years in prison and a fine of $250,000 dollars for each count if found guilty.

They attempted to stop the oil flow by a "Top Kill" but it did not work because the oil flow was too much. BP was telling the public that it was way less, though.Mix is in big trouble beause of this.

1.) What are five things you have learned about environmental abuses during this project? People get sick from polluting the enviroment, everyday little things can hurt the enviroment, trees are important to the enviroment, plastic takes a million years to deteriorate, the U.S isnt as polluted as a lot of countries.
2.) Is this abuse one of the most important problems facing the world today? Yes, i believe so. We aren't planting enough trees to make up for the ones we cut down. We might try, but we are cutting down trees too frequently when theres really not that much need.
3.) Is the solution proposed a practical solution to the problem? Why? Yes. If i saw a recycling bin or garbage can more often, I wouldn't be tempted to throw it on the ground. I would like to be more aware about what littering and not recycling does to the enviroment.
4.) What in your opinion is the most important environmental about facing our world today? why? Cutting down trees, and litering are both extremely important. The garbage pollutes our land, water, and air.  Cutting down trees causes animals and plants to die, and damages the land.

No. Honestly, video games have nothing to do with murderers. They would murder people whether there was violent video games or not. There are plenty of other ways he could have trained in shooting a gun. Does a video game even actually prepare you to shoot somebody? No. You have to have a certain way of thinking to do that, and that has to do with the person, not what they play. This guy was sick.

I really don't care about what i've recently done on facebook. I think it's kind of creepy that they collect data on us and use it to give us ads we might be interested in, and that is how they make all of their money. I believe that if you want, all of your data should be deleted.

There is a clock that does not shut off unless you punch the date into a keyboard in a different room. It is a devil clock, it sounds like. Paul Sammut, a 25 year old engineer invented this clock. He says that he even gets up before the clock goes off because he fears it. The clock cost $350 and took off quickly after he demonstrated the clock on kickstart.com

A man in Norway killed 77 people, claiming that it was self defense. Which is pretty ignorant. He claims he was protecting Norway against multiculturism and Islam.He will face only 21 years in prison if found sane. You can get 21 years for drunk driving and accidentally killing somebody, so how fair is that? He was caught smiling on camera, while he planted a bomb, then attacked and island of innocent camp goers. This is where the death penalty would come in handy.

In my honest opinion, schools do not care about a child's well being, or state of mind. The only thing most of them care about is their paycheck. They can treat us how they want, and let other kids treat eachother as they want. There is absolutely no authority, and if there is, it's over dumb things like how many chairs are at a table, or when we go to our locker. Neither of those things are going to help us to be better people, and get along with eachother. Bullying is an issue, and I'm not saying that it is possible to outright stop it, but there are things to do that can improve how people feel about themselves and eachother. There is extrmely too much inequality.

4/13 man beat and robbed

A man was beaten and robbed in Baltimore. A man is just standing there when he gets robbed. He pursues the thief and gets punched and knocked down. He then got stripped and all people did was laugh at him. I think that it's really sad the world has come to this. The Baltimore police have identified one man included in the crime, and they are attempting to identify the rest. "This behavior will not be tollerated." states Detective Nicole Monroe.

They are legally married. I believe that even if it is a same-sex marriage, it is real under the law, so why can't a normal divorce happen? Who cares about their state constitution, it is REAL.People are ignorant.

Ozzie said that he respected Fidelle Castro. That did not go down well because he is the manager of Miami Marlins, who is basically all cubans. He is extremely stupid.

There has been no foul play suspected, meaning that it was probably some type of accident. After asking to catch up with some friends at the cabin area of Kia Kima Scout Reservation, he disappeared.

Facebook is becoming extremely lame. I think that they need to stay out of every other sites/apps business. I hate facebook accessing crap that they have no business in. It is cool that you can post photos onto facebook and other social networks. That is what makes people want to actually be a part of instagram. But actually linking facebook and instagram will not be a good idea.
