Beheading planned in Saudi sorcery case
This news article made me laugh, how dumb can some people be? A guy in Saudi Arabia had a television show where people called in and he predicted their future. Then the religious police of Saudi Arabia arrested him for SORCERY! They think he's a sorcerer, and he has magical powers. The jury actually found him guilty of sercery and sentenced him to death, by beheading I guess. First of all if you thought someone was an actual sorcerer and could tell the future, wouldn't you want to keep him alive to TELL YOU THE FUTURE? Also if you thought he actually was a sorcerer with magical powers, why would you want to upset him by arresting him, and sentencing him to death? If he actually had powers, and that's what they think, couldn't he cast a spell on you, and make you go insane and kill everyone that was involved in arresting him. Or couldn't he just teleport out of the jail cell?
Haiti gets nearly $10B
So haiti has gotten nearly 10 billion dollars in donations for reconstruction, and food and shelter and stuff. The U.S. pledged 1.15 billion. Now, don't get me wrong, Haiti needs our help, and people should help them, but donating that much when our unemployment is high, and we have people in the U.S. that need help as much as Haiti. So I think we should put some of that money to help the people losing their homes in the U.S. too. I also think it's dumb that the whole world started donating after the earthquake destroyed everything, wouldn't it be better to help build better buildings in places like that before disasters happen?

HealthCare
Having universal healthcare will give a lot of people healthcare that don't have it, but the upper and middle classes will have higher taxes to pay for it. So should the government supply healthcare? Or should it be the individual that has to pay for themselves. And should we get rid of social security, medicare, and medicaid? I personally think that we should, and that we should save our own money to support ourselves in the future.
I think that the individual should be responsible for getting themselves healthcare. We shouldn't have to pay more than what we are paying so other people can have healthcare. I don't think we should have to pay for other peoples things is what im saying. I think we should get rid of social security, medicaid, and medicare, people should save their money when they are young and working, and put a little bit away each week/month so they have enough to retire without other people paying for them.
