Girls, 11 and 12, may be charged with cyberstalking

- I think parents have a tough job today. They have to work outside the home and technology has taken its toll. Plus, computers are a necessary tool for homework. However, I think the parents should be supportive of punishing children when they do unthinkable acts like this.

- Good for you. This society babies our children and looks what happens. Honestly, every child has a computer, iPhone, iPod, etc. I had diddly squat growing up. I remember that poor mother on national television last year because she patiently waited until she got to her car to spank her child.

- By taking these young girls to court, they will learn that what they did was wrong and this gives them an opportunity to step up and learn by it. When it is ignored, nothing is learned. Good for the parents of this young girl for pursuing this.
Arizona considering $50 tax for smokers, obese

- Great points. Arizona is one place where free fitness surrounds everyone. It is amazing to me how many people are up in arms about this. They are probably sitting on their butts, smoking and watching reality television. I am overweight and hate it. Yet I get out everyday and try to exercise.

- So you are willing to pay for people's medical bills related to laziness and bad choices? If they want to stay indoors, in a beautiful state with plenty to do outdoors free, then that is there choice.

- Arizona always gets beat up over taking initiatives like this. It is always the ones who dare to step up first to help change the world that get the most criticism. Why should any of us pay for the mistakes of others.
Teens from Texas school killed in Mexico

- There is more to this story than being told. These teens were not dragged across the border. They were underaged and went to a party, across the border.
Report: Mom hit teen daughter before shooting

- I am not justifying what she did - it is horrible and they were just kids. However, I have been in her shoes with a mouthy daughter and I have found myself exploding with uncontrollable anger over the audacity of someone that age talking back to a parent, with so little respect.
Family booted from plane in dispute over infant seat

- I agree. It is a long flight and it is unreasonable. This woman travelled twice this year. Lucky lady. I cannot afford to fly once a year. She absolutely knew what she was doing and counted on a sucker to give her a wider seat.

- She should have bought 2. Her husband and other children could have stayed in economy. I agree with the consensus that she should have spent the extra cash, which was minimal next to Honolulu.

Kim,

Hillary if she were the VP with Obama would have ignited the right wing, not exclusively because of her, but for her husband. She went into this know that this was the case. She never had a favorable national polling over 48%.

Obama had no chance but to choose someone else. Bill went out of his way in their run against each other to be a bit of a smuck. He has such a huge ego and can't keep his nose out of Hillarys campaign, and held a grudge against Obama, that no one in their right mind would bring her on with Bill in the back ground. I feel that is the issue.

I just wish she would have divorced Bill prior to running for the Senate. He has had not just a few affairs, but hundreds of them from the day they met.
The right hate him for that or other things. I feel Hillary is strong and talented, but with Bill around he is an anchor around her neck and around Obamas.

Kim-
My problem is John Mccain cannot answer any question without being prepped first....he is not genuine, and if he relates all of our issues one more time to his being a prisoner of war, I think I'm going to scream!!!
He did bery bad thing stare being held captive...he learned nothing, and now has nothing fro the heart to speak about....if they don't give him a script, he is all over the road...I've beeen watching so closely...more so than the average voter....i'm scared that the public will not be paying attention. I have voted republican since 18 years old....now i'm enlightened, and i watch closely all perspectives more so than any other time in my life...i listen, look, read, and my eyes are opened because something wasn't right....look beyond the surface...it is truly amazing what lurks there.
