So many games
So little actually talking
Wanna chat?
So The last conversation thread I made revolved around just around political talking, This one goes to just everything, And theres always news going on so theres always going to be something to talk about.
So what have you heard on the news that concerns you? maybe you want to see the views of other members?
Not going to be a boring chat just talk about things
Here we go
Some starters~
So Some things that I've read recently is the schools in the same state of sandy hook (The school that that crazy gunman killed little innocent kids at) have decided to change the lockdown when a gunman arrives from hiding in rooms with a lock down to asking kids and teachers to fight back.
The idea is to have teachers secretly armed with at least a pocket knife in their room, if a gunman comes it (passing the locked doors) Small kids are told to throw little items to distract the man while the teacher tries to overwhelm the man.(while the kids get out to get other adults)
Older kids from middle school to high school are told to do the same but help the teacher by again overwhelming him and also using supplies they have (because you know, we have more carry arounds, a heavy book would help)
Others say schools should just have a officer assigned to each.

So do you think its a good idea to have teachers both armed and kids trained to fight? It's a choice to go through this kind of training to prepare.
(once someone responds i'll give my view)

Just to get to the point on this one, everybody knows the middle east has been fighting since men could pick up a stick, The Us army is there trying to settle everything and just doing what they are told,
Do you think we should take our boys out or let them "Help" Reaching a compromise?
I personally think aid is great to most of the countries but not our life, we spend to much time in other peoples mess instead of solving out our own.I think we need our boys to come home instead of sending them off.Helping the fighting way might look good in the presidents eyes but overdoing it shouldn't

So this group of people in Japan are taking some of the worlds deadlyiest, human disorienting sickness and combining it into some super mega killer.(I dont know all of them but they have some animal ones like bird flu, other long term flus and rabies)
They are doing this because they hope to find cures for all of them at once and make sure we are prepared for future deadly threats.
Now I just think thats stupid, People have messed this up before spread something bad, combining them changes that one main sickness, You have a hole new problem, Whats to say the cure you make cant rid that one disease but only all of them together? I just think they should take them all on without trying to combine them, Study what you have and work on that, not go ahead and try to create the next human killer
the best I can find after a while would be a little look through from this en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2013_in_science (should be under bird flu somewhere)

So what have you heard thats interesting?
