 Do you believe this is a frivolous law suit? Why or why not?
Yes. It's a rock, get over it. He saved some kids life shouldent you be proud.

2, On another note, do you believe the men who toppled the rock should be charged with destruction of property? Why or Why not?
Uhm no. You cant just walk past some kid when a rock is about to fall and kill him, but then again it is a special rock which is way way way more importand to them. This is a joke. Get over it the kid gets to live another day. just put the freaken rock back where it was. Super glue and duct-tape will do it

10-17-13 Video game violence

Well video games. Most of us like them, some think its a waste of time. It's just awesome being able to play with friends and family and people across the world! However people are saying that it affects school performance and brain issues. In my opinion games is what gives us something forward to look to when we get home. I dont see how it could affect your brain. School shootings occur the first thing that comes to there mind is video games. That is just nonsense. Sure I love killing zombies and other people (on video games ) that doesn't mean im going to go a random killing spree in real life. That is just maniacs that do that crap! Studys say that video gaming is actually good for your brain. Say your in a video game thats intense lots of things going on and you got an objective. Your brain acts as if it was actually happening.

The downside of video games. Is school performance! Yes we know you wake up say oh god school. Video games just give you something to look forward to. Playing a different game or another level. That being said. When you enter school, your really not thinking of the stuff your suppose to be thinking about. Your brain is set to gaming. Which decreases your school performance. As in grades or behavior. Studys show that violence in schools is what causes alot of fights. Thinking you just got this fighting game and you wanted to try out some new moves. Note this is younger kids in middle school or younger. If your an adult. I'm sure you know whats right from wrong.

Overall. Video games is just sitting in between so its hard to say which is good for you or bad. Good to say that video games will no be going no where anytime soon in my lifetime so it really don't matter to me.

1.  Should the two girls be charged?  yes or no and explain your answer

Criminal law act in some certain county's. Felony is basically everyone has your record and comes up in system in most states.

Should be beat up by teachers or other students, or be sent off for 1 month the first time and if it happens again then be sent off for 2 years. Then again Just jail time for life or electric chair haha.

Is it fair to force the states to pay something that is the responsibility of the national government?  No. They should not have to pay for that. Its a government shutdown. Big whoop for most Americans, Just keep the parks shut down. People can wait its not the end of the world yet!
