Why stuff for college should be free.

I believe college books should be free. I also believe Dorm rooms should be free. I believe living on campus should not have to cost you anything. Think about it, lets say York College dorm rooms were free, they would have so much more people coming to their school rather then commuting or choosing a different school. It costs a lot just to stay at school, but if they changed that they would have more money to spend to build new rooms, and expand their school.
I believe books should be free too, because its ridiculous to pay $300 for a book, the teacher tells you you'll need, and you never use it! It's not fair when you sell it back and get $75. That's not right at all, colleges are just finding ways to make you open your wallet and give it to them.
If dorm rooms and books were free I'm sure we all could go to a bigger college because we would have that extra cash to spend of admission and classes. Just spending that $300 on a book I could get another credit at HACC, but yet you couldn't because of that expensive book you'll never use.
I'm sick of colleges making you pay for things you shouldn't have to. Dorm rooms should be free since you have to furnish them anyway, and books should be free since you give them back almost always anyway.

Is open admission policy at HACC a good or bad thing?

I believe the open admission policy is a good thing. The open admission is a good thing because, it gives everyone an equal chance. It's also a good thing because, if you are an older student who has a family and can not leave them, it is easier to go here.

The open admission policy is a good reason because, it gives everyone an equal chance. Giving everyone an equal chance is good because, the other local colleges around PA need a specific GPA, and other things to get into the school.
For families with a parent going to school it is easier for them to go to HACC and not move, then to spend more money and go to a bigger college. It's good for the parents, and children.

The bad reason is also they give everyone an equal chance. It's also a bad reason because, it lets everyone in, even the people who do not do good. The people who do not try could hurt the schools standings in performance. Another bad reason is it also takes money from people who will not succeed. It also is a bad reason because the classes that people need to graduate fill up quickly because of how many people are coming in. There are so many people now that specific classes, and teachers fill up to quickly for anyone trying to finish their degree.

I think the open admission policy is a good thing because it gives everyone a equal opportunity, and it's also good for the families with parents in school.

Privacy is a good thing.

Privacy is a good thing, I know when it comes to my belongings, or anything I love my privacy. I don't like when people go through my things, in my room, or on my phone. I'm a very private person towards stuff like that. I can not imagine what being a celebrity would be like. Take Tiger Woods for example, everything he has gone through with the mistresses, and sex rehab. He never had a moment that was to himself, everyone knows about his whole life. If I was in Tiger's shoes and going to rehab for anything, I know I would not want anyone knowing why I was there. Tiger on the other hand had no choice, people followed him, and photographed him. He couldn't get away. I believe people should have their own privacy rights. Tiger is a professional golfer, but it's not like he asked for people to stalk him and take pictures of him. He just does what he loves and gets paid for it. He's job doesn't call for all the attention off the course, but yet everyone follows him.
Also take Britney Spears, and Kevin Federline. Britney and Kevin were going through their divorce and there was so much media coverage over it. Headlines read "Who will keep the kids?", and "What Happened to the Couple?". If I were to go through a divorce I would not want everyone reading what was going on in my life, as if it isn't hard enough to face your problems as is, everyone else is talking about them. Privacy should be up to the people their talking about. They should have to ask before they take pictures, post pictures, write about them, anything. Even small families are sometimes in the news, maybe because of a homicide. If it isn't hard enough for them to go through with what happened, their life stories are put in the local newspapers. It's not right for reporters to say, and do what they do. They wouldn't like being followed, and written about.

Video Game Violence.

Video game violence in the past ten years has risen to a new time high. The ratings on games are Mature, Teen, Everyone. The mature, and teen are the worst. They have high graphic blood and gore. You can kill people, rape, and just about anything else. They are disgusting things for children to watch, and or play. If I had children I would not let them even watch the commercials. They are so graphic even in their commercials. They show killings, explosions, and more.
If we wanted the world to be a safer, less complicated place why would we put our younger generation in front of a television set and let them play these games? It's not a good thing to have these games out for anyone to get their hands on. Parents will go into the store, buy their children the mature game, and let them play it with no problems about it. It's not right. I believe that video games should dim down their violence and bring out stuff that does not have so much of it. If this were to happen then maybe we wouldn't have so many murders, car thefts, and whatever else these video games are showing to our children.
I do believe video games are at cause for whats going on around cities. They have an effect on some people, that may want to harm others. If they can do it in a game, why not in real life? I know I've played some games that were way to graphic, and it just disgusted me. I couldn't kill a person, let alone an animal in the game, but some people can do this stuff in real life. I believe video games encourage them to do it more.

Technology is Good.

I believe technology is a good thing.Technology I believe is the usage of computers, Internet, cellphones, radio, and television. I think technology is a good thing because it updates you with worldwide and national news fast, saves environment, and it makes jobs easier.
Technology updates you with worldwide and national news. It's important for you to know whats going on with the world,and in your town. You can watch news channels to find out from as little to if its going to storm, or to see if whats going on across the oceans.
Technology also saves the environment. It saves the environment by cutting back the usage of paper, so it saves the trees. You can find online things called online books, their like regular books but no paper needed. Just look at the computer screen.
Technology even makes jobs easier. It makes jobs easier by having storage on computers, organization, phones to communicate, and much more.
Technology are great things, we should be very glad that we have it. To keep us updated on news, to saving the planet. It also makes peoples jobs easier. Technology will always help this world doing new things every day.

Helmets Should be Worn at all Times.

As we all know, the law is you may ride your motorcycle without wearing a helmet. I think that law should be changed. Many people don't know but in the year of 1998 2,284 people were killed in motorcycle accidents, and 49,000 we're injured in just highway crashes in the United States. Since the law was passed around 2000-2005, the numbers have shot up. In 1998 500 people's lives were saved because of helmets, and 307 people's lives could have been saved.
In 1997, there was 2,116 fatalities for bike accidents. In 2004 there was 4,008. These are just accidents, it doesn't count the accidents that people were wearing and not wearing helmets. Helmets don't mean that they will save people's lives, but it does give you a more protection. Motorcycles are dangerous vehicles. They are hard to see when your driving a bigger vehicle, but wearing a helmet could save you. I do believe wearing a helmet could save you and others if you choose to wear one.

Health Insurance in USA!

Health care is social insurance for the ill and injured. What we all know is the the United States does not let everyone have health care. What I believe is that we should give it to everyone. The country of France has health care coverage for everyone who lives in that country. You must live in France for a certain amount of time before you become eligible for free health care, but you can stay in the hospital have surgery, eat, and sleep there FOR FREE. I know that sounds ridiculous because over here we pay so much money just to get a stitch. I know there are tons of people the in the US that do not have jobs, and people think that it would be unfair for them to get health care, but the way I see it is if a person without a job has cancer. Why would you throw them out on the street, and let them die? Why wouldn't you help them? I believe everyone should have the same rights. It is not fair to have some people with health care, and others that don't have it. Everyone should have equal rights.
Health insurance in France is free. I do believe that it should also be free over here in the United States. I think it is just rude to tell someone they can not help them because they do not have health insurance. There are sick people out in this country who need health insurance but may be to sick to work. To even get it. I believe this country is just to rude to care about its people. The only thing I think the United States cares about anymore is war, and the new technology coming out. No one is opening their eyes to the real problem. The people of the United States. The ones who make this country what it is today. We need health insurance for everyone. Just to be fair.

People said it was to dangerous, why didn't anyone listen?!

The Winter Olympics are being held in Vancouver, Canada. We all probably have watched some part of the Olympics this year, but what I'm sure you've seen or heard is the young 21 year old, Nordar Kumaritashvili. Nordar was a luge slider, and was taking a practice run when he lost control of his sled going over 90 mph. Earlier Nordar told his father that he was scared of the track. The track, Whistler Sliding Centre was said to be the fastest ever. My concern is if so many people were wrecking, and getting hurt. Why would you continue to let them use it. A young man lost his life on the Whistler because, it was simply just to fast.
If people complained about it being to fast why wouldn't they try to fix the problem. Still to this day all they have done is moved the men's starting point down to where the women start, and they have built a wall where Nordar went off course before flying into the pillar. This course is horrible I believe. It's putting peoples lives in danger. Not only the competitors but the fans also. You watch the Olympics and the fans are right there, in the action. So close they could almost touch them. If one person loses control of their sled, they could be seriously hurt, or killed. I believe they should of taken the time to re-do the track. They should of got many workers to work on the track until the racers felt it was safe for them to ride on again. A man lost his life here, and they barely made any safety precautions to change it.

Abortion

I am against abortions. The reason I am against abortions is that I believe that everyone should have a chance at life. I do understand that some women are raped and do get pregnant. I still believe that child could be raised with a different family. There are three hundred million families that are willing to adopt a child. I never have had a child, but I've know the pressure it is to carry around for nine months and then give it away, but it would make another families dreams come true. I am against abortion completely.
I do believe I am against abortions because they seem so cruel, to take someones life. You never know how great that somebody could be. Having a child could be, or would be one of the greatest accomplishments in your life. Keeping the child or not, having a child will make you a much stronger, wiser, and loving person. If you have an abortion that will stay with you forever knowing that you had a child and you ended their life.
I am a pro-life, I believe everyone should have a chance at life. Giving your child up for adoption would make yourself, your family, and the family receiving the baby much happier. I do know a couple that has to adopt because they can not have a child of their own. They recently have adopted their son, from a couple who did not, or were not ready for a child. The couple was not planning on keeping it. Their choices were abortion and adoption. I do believe they made the right decision giving up their child to another family, and not ending the babies life.

To feed Haiti, or to not feed Haiti?

As we all know recently Haiti had 7.0 earthquake. An estimated 3 million were effected by the quake. Many countries responded to help Haiti. Including The United States. The countries helping are giving food, medical aid, pledging funds and much more. I think it is very kind to give them this. There are people in the United States that are more worried about us then them. I do understand that we are really in need of money and food for some of our people because of the economy lately, but if this earthquake would of happened to us I believe other countries would of helped us even if we are one of the richest countries.
I don't understand why people have to be so rude, it's peoples lives, families, and friends. If this happened to you I know you'd be a wreck. Just think if it was your family wouldn't you want someone to take care of them? Wouldn't you want people donating their time, effort, and love to helping your family or friends to get better and back to where they came from?
If I could, I believe I would go to Haiti and give my time and effort into building houses, buildings, and anything else I could do to help them out.
I do find it rude that the famous people hand out millions of dollars to go to this country, when they could of donated it to something in this country we really needed. They could of donated it to cancer research. They could of given it to any Charity, but it is still a very good cause. I do believe we should help Haiti out in any way, it is the human thing to do

Illegal to use your cell phone while driving in PA?

I recently heard that the PA house passed the law it will be illegal to talk and text while driving. It will go to the senate next, before it is put into action. I'm a firm believer that when you shut that driver side door, and turn the key or press the button the road becomes like a swimming pool. When you walk in and the sign says "No lifeguard on duty, swim at your own risk." Driving is a thing you do at your own risk. If you think you can't handle sending a text message while driving, it's pretty clear to not do it. If you think you can then go ahead, your doing it at your own risk.
I not very good at sending text messages while driving. I wait for red lights or back roads where there is no on coming traffic, so I'm not putting other peoples lives at stake. I also do not text with other people in my car. I know I can carry a conversation and still be able to drive, so I believe I'm okay to talk on the phone while driving. Others I don't think can handle multi-tasking. If you can barely drive right not doing anything, don't talk on your phone! Everyone does this at their own risk, and I'm sure we all know its not safe, but it's not going to stop everyone. We will all be on the look out for cops now.
I believe it should be legal to use your cellphone while driving. Its a thing you do at your own risk. What's next, We can't turn our radio station, or light a cigarette? Driving and using your cellphone is very dangerous, so if you feel you can't handle it, don't do it!

MISTAKEE not a post

Tiger Woods a professional golf player was recently accused of cheating on his wife. After he was said to have an affair with 10 women. When AT&T found out about his mistresses they ended his deal for his sponsor, I do feel bad about him losing fans, friends, sponsors, and his wife. I just do not think Tiger Woods should have done what he did. Tiger has respected by many people. Now the news lines are filled with Tiger Wood's life. I believe his life is being invaded. Although he did do something frowned down upon, I believe Tiger should have some privacy with this tough time.
Recently Tiger has been said to be in "Sex Therapy" because he is addicted to sex. This clinic is located in Arizona. The clinic said it will take four to five weeks for Tiger's treatment to be complete. I do am a firm believer that sex therapy would not work. The clinic also specializes in substance abuse, and compulsive disorders such as gambling and sex.
At the time of Thanksgiving Tiger and his wife Elin Nordengren had a fight. After this fight he has been spotted in five different locations. Long Island, Bahamas, in Africa, on the Oregon Coast, and Wickenburg. Tiger does not have any privacy anymore. The man can't take a vacation without someone wondering what he is doing there, I feel bad for Tiger.
When Tiger was said to have his car accident the local police said Tiger Wood's was not drunk. They think Tiger wrecked his car because his wife was chasing him with a golf club, and she smashed out the back window in Tigers SUV. They say she did this because she found out about the mistresses but no one is really sure if that is true. I just know I'd do the same thing. She had every right to be upset with Tiger.
