I think that it does have an effect on the way people write and spell but not how they speak. A main reason I believe that texting effects how people write and spell is because once you do something on a regualr basis you get use to it. If someone is always texting and spell things like "r", "wuts up", and "im goin out" the person may know how to spell those words correctly but over time may forget or just not even pay attention and spell things wrong anyways which can also effect a persons grammar.

No they should not because it is wrong for the government to secretly be monitoring people who just look suspicious rather than spending more time watching ones who have already committed a crime. It is an invasion of privacy and people should be able to live a normal life instead of becoming paranoid of everything they do just because the government could secretly be watching them.

I think its better to have a lousy father than no father at all. Having a lousy dad means having that second parent in your life that you can tell things to that you may not be able to tell your mom. If you have no father you never get the chance to know who your dad really was or what he was like or even what you had in common with him. A lousy dad may not be the best kind of dad but he's your dad and will love you no matter what. Even if you really don't like him at times, he's your family and you should be thankful for the people that are in your life, especially family.

I put my argument on the side saying "yes" but in reality it really depends in my opinion. If my husband killed someone in self-defense, I'd rather them kill the person than my husband die, but if he just killed someone for no reason I probably would turn him in because love may be strong but it can also be blind. I would not want to be married to a murderer because what if one day he decided to kill me?

I believe it is more important to have personal pursuit because if you even want to begin to help others you have to help yourself. It's not bad to want to help the common good but if you're always putting other people before yourself you may start to forget about your own needs and wants in life. But I do think that you can have a balance of both.

I think that Shakespeare should be studied in high school because even though people don't speak the way they did back in his day, its good literature and makes people think about what he was trying to say and portray in his plays. People seem to not want to read it simply because they find it boring, but if you actually took the time to try and understand what it meant and was saying, you may see why so many people back then enjoyed his plays/literature.

I agree with this statement because typically when bad or good things are done to people it makes them have a certain mindset about things, so if you've been treated bad it may effect how you use your freedom.

Okay, whyyyy in the world would you trust Obama for president? He is trying to solve alll of our problems with money! Money can't fix everything! He is just going to worsen our economy and he is trying to do a little thing called "redistribution". Let me first explain why that isn't "equallity" for anyone! There are people in this country who take advantage of things such as welfare and don't go out and get a job because they are too lazy or drunks or whatever, then there are people who went to college, studied hard and worked their butts off trying to make something of themselves and did! Now Obama is wanting to take peoples money who earn more than others and give it to people who have done nothing with thier life! I understand some people just got dealt a bad hand in life, but life isn't fair and people who have worked hard for their fortune, should'nt have to pay for others expenses. Not only that, McCain can do the same things as Obama without having to use so much money and put our economy even more into debt! Finally I would just like to point out the fact that McCain has been involved in politics since the 1980's whereas Obama is new to all of this!

First of all, why should schools sell condoms when kids that age shouldn't be having sex. Thats the last thing we need is for kids to be encouraged to have sex and are able to get condoms from their own school, thats just saying "hey if you want to have sex, go for it, we'll even give you protection". I agree thats its your own personal choice to choose when you want to have sex but I don't think that condoms should be sold in schools, its just sending the wrong message to kids.

School IS for learning, not buying sex products

okay after a while it WON'T be pocket change, plus their hard earned money will be going to other people who either are lazy or didn't get higher education in college. Obama just wants to use money to fix evvverything which is just going to worsen our economy
