Teens have demons. Sometimes they kill themselves. The story shouldn't be "Oh look, another teen killed herself," it should be "Why are we fostering an environment that leads teens to think it's okay to off themselves?"  View

That's strange, twelve unconnected girls develop identical symptoms. I wonder if the private company researched their online environment? I think I understand where they're coming from though. It can be difficult to navigate the cultural climate we live in. Sometimes we tune into others "reality" more than our own dreams.  View

Yeah the guy had a mini-meltdown. But come on, admit it, you've had them too. We ALL have. In today's work environment, some people are so toxic that it's hard not to lose it more often than we do... Should the guy have been more in control while on air? Of course! But he didn't kill anybody. And no babies died. I'm more concerned over the fool who loses it behind the wheel and puts me or others in mortal danger. Or the exasperated mom/dad in the supermarket who completely loses control with their kid who is just being... a kid. This clip is cringe-worthy, but not as bad as some things could be. And to expect the man to give an apology? Are you all mad?! No one apologizes anymore! People have forgotten that apologies are a necessary part of human relations. Now, an apology is simply a sign of weakness. And we can't have that!  View

I can imagine more friendly less stressful places to be dealing with gender issues. And yes, citizen, in an ideal world gender issues, sexuality, would not be the subject of defense as most people with personalities with these items are normal, but in this environment, might be stressful.  View

On the contrary Phillip, he doesn't sound like a crackpot. He's more like a breath of fresh air in what has become a stuffy political environment. More politicians should listen to him and follow his lead. He is the ONLY politician that truly cares about and loves this country and it's people.  View

All acts of murder are justified by the individual. A psychopath has his justification and can not help how his brain works. A child raised as the son of a Afghan warlord, has his justification and can not help the way his environment has formed his belief systems. And we justify murder by saying that "they" diserve it. Free will is not so free as you may think.  View

The acts of the Florida Family Association are completely ignorant. They are actually contacting other companies, via email, such as Home Depot, Chevrolet, Target and even Hasbro telling them to pull their ads on the show. This is disgusting. They even have this comment on their webiste "Florida Family Association places a priority on monitoring shows such as Degrassi which target children with homosexual propaganda and explicitly immoral content." They say that their goal is "improving America's moral environment." I can't think of anything more UNamerican then teaching bigotry. And for this, they are able to be a 503C3 company.  View

Having lived in southern California and witnessed the bad smog of the 80's, I can say the pictures they show are unbelievable. China is a major polluter of the environment and makes other countries look great by comparison.  View

Children need to grow in a loving environment first it won't stop them from working hard in the future. It will ensure a well balanced life. But a working camps with children is barbaric. They will end up like cold, heartless drones like Newt, controlled and no thought of your own. The poor are not there by choice in this economy when factories are shut down, or medical bills tie up finances. They don't get tax breaks like the rich. The poor are usually working at low income jobs. More middle class families are now eating at foodbanks, so the another high price tank can be built or money can be sent to Israel or Irak. Newt insults these families by making them called lazy. They are the people,the future, not the 1% rich. Look up on You Tube what Ron Paul is saying. It is just logical.  View

wow... look at all that conflation... "the poor do not really pay taxes"?? okay... I must be in some delusional construct each and every April 15th.... right hemisphere much? And oh yes, ladies and gentleman, open your US History book to any time period pre-1940 and show America where a life of hard physical work for sub-survival compensation resulted in success and the well being of American Citizens. Show it. Mr. Gingrich cynically proposes to commit our children to that very environment, utterly ruining family values in favor of regionally influenced corporate values. Anyone who stands behind that is a fool.  View
