I don't believe the Iraqi reconstruction was as much of a success as the Southern Reconstruction because the Iraqis have to physically rebuild everything: infrastructure, economy, etc. They also have very little support, with the U.S. Being the only supporters. Also, the whole country was completely demolished, whereas, the south was only a half of the U.S. and therefore, could afford the assistance of the North.

I believe that the Southern Reconstruction was a success because overall as a country, we're a lot better than how many years ago. I mean yes, at first, the South did not want to cooperate with the laws given to the slaves and had formed groups against those laws, however, over time, the country as a whole fought through it, and we are still currently making progress.

Honestly, do you think you could really get in line to vote 10 times? The people would probobly catch you before you make your second vote.

Well, we WANT to get rid of the illegal voting. Therefore, a Voter ID should be necessary.

1 point

Well, I think that voter IDs should be somewhat necessary because people shouldn't be able to vote more than once. However, there are other ways to use as identification such as a Driver's License, however most people don't have a Driver's License and I do believe Voter IDs should be issued. So therefore, even with both a Driver's License and a Voter ID, we can recognize which people are legal or illegal.

You brought up a good point. But maybe those people have a mental disability and they're not able to get a job.

1 point

Uhh I suppose that's a good point, but you know people always have the option NOT to drink soda.

I agree with you as long as their not being disruptive. It's a really good idea to raise breast cancer awarness.

Homelessness is a big issue that I see in this world. In any big city, you will find homeless people on a lot of roads or under bridges. I think that more homeless shelters should open up to help these people. However, I don't think we have enough money to do that stuff.

That's a really good point Barnard. The U.S. has been on Osama's tail ever since 9-11. Therefore, our military has been training and searching for him for a long time. His term just happened to be in the right time frame when he was captured.

1 point

Yeah, but they should obviously know that they have a limited time to do what they said they were going to do. He knew what was wrong with the country and aware of everything, so in that case, he should have done what he said he was going to do.

What's the point of even doing drugs or smoking? You always get screwed in the end either by health terms or maybe financial issues. I don't get why people do it. I guess they think it might be good for them or feel good, but they probably don't realize how much harm it's doing to them.

Exactly, what's the point of doing any when the results always comes out bad? What's the point of seeing which drug does more, if we already know that they are all bad for you?

1 point

Actually, there are more job openings. Like the Ford plant opened up for a couple thousand jobs.

1 point

Not necessarily Tessa. If we went by that ruling, then all the President's would just be a bunch of hipocrytes. A President IS supposed to make the country better.

1 point

I agree with you all the way Kraemer. Scott Walker is trying to fix the debt issue, and all people can say is that he's being selfish by taking away some benefits.

1 point

I think that the courts decision ruling was completely wrong. I mean the African descents are people too and they're working their butts off to survive. Also, why did people even bother bringing other people over to North America for their own uses?

1 point

You bring up a good topic. I would like to know what was going on through those kids' heads. I think they were suffering from depression and bullying and they just couldn't keep it inside and they just had to let it out.

1 point

That sounds really bad and sad. By holding those meetings, there will probably be a big disturbance caused by one in the future.

1 point

Yeah, this sounds like a copy and paste type thing. I don't even think this is true.

1 point

Even though research and tests show that weed doesn't necessarily affect you, it's still a drug and it promotes a bad message.

I would like to bring up the controversial topic of Abortion. I think that abortion is more of a crime than a solution to pregnancy. I don't think that a baby's life should be taken away because someone else's life did. Also, there are other altenatives to abortion like adoption, parenting classes, and financial aid and stuff.

You don't get it. I just said that. Obviously, we are trying to change, but we're not going anywhere with it.
