Michael Vick

I think that this can go both ways, but thats just me. For one, what vick did was totally wrong and horrible, why would someone have dog fights for entertainment. I mean thats just not right, and especially considering that he was one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL, why would he risk everything just for entertainment and a little extra cash on the side, I mean why not deal drugs, that makes you some bank right there. what they are trying to do with Vick is probably one of the smartest thing that they could do because if they do have him do a brain scan and it comes up positive for psychopathic tendenies, then i think that he wont be aloud to go back into the NFL because he is still a danger to animals if not anything else. But, if he was to come up negative with the scan, then i think the NFL would accept him back, but most likely under some circumstances that Vick probably wont like but he will have to deal with or he wont play. I think that Vick learned his lesson doing 23 months in prison which isnt even up yet, but I am sure that in the time he was in there he regrets doing all that with the dogs and I think that he would most likely rather play football than go back to jail for dumb reasons like that. If he is allowed to come back to the NFL, Im not sure if he would be able to do as good as he used to two years ago, I mean before the dog incident, he threw for 2472 yards and ran for 1039 yards, so Im sure he might still have some of these skills. but why not give him a try, he was one of the best rookie quarterbacks ever in my opinion, he was like a tank, he could throw from all angles, he could run like a running back, and he had vision like an eagle, which made him a triple threat. I think if he proves himself worthy with animals, I mean like doing everything he can around his community to do anything and everything for animals showing to everyone that he has changed then i think that he will be allowed to play again.

Where Education and Assimilation Collide

I do not think anything should be changed because if they cant do what we do, then maybe they shouldn't be here. I mean wherever their from they know whats up and how to do stuff, then they come here and expect us to teach them everything about us and its kind of lame. I think at least they should learn to speak fluent english before they come here and try to live off us and take our stuff just like the Indians, but the immigrants take all our jobs that nobody else does so I guess that helps at times. If I was to help one of these students assimilate or whatever you call it, I would probably get really mad really easy because they don't know much about what's going on or whatever so. I dont have the most patience of most people, I hate waiting and having to repeat myself more than once so I would probably have a hard time helping one of these students.

stem cell research

yes i think that the United States should have the right to oppose the federal government on stem cell research. abortion opponents believe embryotic stem cell research is an assault on life in its earliest form. fertilized embryos are destroyed when stem cells are extracted from them for research. legal experts said the state measures restricting stem cell research raises constitutional concerns in a largely untested area of law. in georgia, a meassure that would ban some forms of stem cell research on fertilized embryos is moving quickly through the state Senate. the bill would outlaw the destruction of fertilized embryos, which the legislation defines as a person. it is expected to face a vote in the full state Senate later. obama's new approach will enable federally funded researchers to use hundreds of new embryonic stem cell lines. supporters believe the research could lead to treatments for major disorders such as Parkinson's disease and spinal injuries.

Computer Vision Syndrome is one of the most common health risks involved with computers. Studies have shown that 75 to 90 percent of computer users may suffer from computer eye problems like computer eye fatigue and computer eye strain. The symptoms of Computer Vision Syndrome fall into three broad categories. visual, ocular and general. The visual category includes blurred or double vision, changes in perception of color, glare and flickering sensations. The ocular category includes irritated or tired eyes, burning or itching eyes, excessive tears, dry eyes, excessive blinking, squinting, sore eyes, discomfort in contact lenses, sensitivity to light, etc. Finally the general category includes, neck and shoulder pain or tension, pain in the back or arms, headache, drowsiness or excessive fatigue, prone to making errors, nervousness and irritability. The most important cause of CVS symptoms is that the eye blink rate that should ideally be 16 per minute is reduced to 1/3 of this. This reduction in the blink rate causes dryness, irritation excessive tearing, itching, burning and redness of the eyes.

One of the dangers with computers is carpeltunnel, that can mess with you for the rest of your life and make it to where your not able to do everything you wanted to do. Another danger is people have researched that computer screens can mess with your eye sight, possibly have birth defects and even cancer, but its not for sure. It's worse if you stare at your computer screen in the dark rather than the light too. One way to prevent this is to get one of the new LCD monitors when you purchase a pc. One of the most simplest things but which is also one of the most dangerous features of a computer is Toner dust. Toner dust has been classified by the FDA a class-A carcinogen, which is believed to cause cancer. Some of the advantages of having a computer though are that with computers, there is such a broad span of accessories that can be accessed within itself that can help you do just about anything you can think of. Computers are used for information getting, school work, fun, research, weather, news, just about anything you can think of, a computer can do it with just a couple clicks.

Some disadvantages of computers include: they will increase educational costs and harm the equity of education, when it becomes prior for teachers and students to have computers to actually learn, it puts the lower class people in quite a pickle, they dont have the money for a pc which means that their kid cant learn what he needs to learn which isnt right just because of a lack of money. When a teacher and her class are using computers, it should be made sure that everyone knows how to operate one to do what they need to do or whats the point of having one if you cant do anything with it. We are still finding problems with computers all the time, being able to upgrade them, and they are always making newer versions so its really hard to keep up with the technology to get the maximum potential of the computer.
