• A comment on Conversation: Debate: Should students rely on technology for their homework?

  Nov 4 2012: My answer to this is sort of in the middle of both sides.
  My first take on this is that a lot of college courses now are online so students have to rely on technology in order to take the class. This has been very helpful for me and I love online courses.
  
  My second take on this is that I believe students should crack open the textbook for papers and assignments from time to time instead of turning on the computer and typing in their question for google to figure it out for them

• A reply on Conversation: Is a Fetus a Person?

  Nov 4 2012: Edward,
  The UDHR states that everyone has a right to religion and their own beliefs. And in Roe v Wade it was concluded that any woman, for any reason may have an abortion.
  my belief is that this is a good law because under the circumstances of rape no woman no matter the age should have to go through with having a baby after having sex without consent. We should not be able to control a woman's choice of having an abortion it is their choice to make not ours.

• A comment on Conversation: Do we really care about world peace?

• A reply on Conversation: Should countries abolish the two party political system ?

  Nov 4 2012: RE Casey: but the news and media system is corrupting our view on what is happening during the debates as well

• A comment on Conversation: Should countries abolish the two party political system ?

  Nov 4 2012: No, I feel that a two party system allows for the system of democracy to work in a way that a Republican might appeal to others while the democratic side appeals to the rest.
  It is good to have a two party system because that's what has worked for years.
