Members of congress get to see Osamas death pictures

theyre described as "gruesome". having heard that, now i really want to see them. only a selected few in congress got to see these photos, there was about 15 that were taken in Abbottabad compound.

we can only wait and hope that they are leaked, fingers crossed..

Discussion Day 1

I think it started off a little slow, but once we picked up the pace it was back and forth with SMART and FACTUAL arguments. i would rather stay away from personal opinion because that will separate the class as a whole.

cant wait till tomorrows conclusion, go out with a baang

Hannity's Obsession, or main arguement

If it's ok to shoot an unarmed man in the face(Osama), why is it not ok to have enhanced interrogations against terrorists?

Debate

Tonight The GOP hopefuls come together for the first presidential debate tonight. Lets see who brings what to the table shall we

NOsama Pictures

Damn, so im pretty sure i am not the only one bummed about the photographs of Osama not being released. i dont know what it is, i just want to see them. it could just be the sick human curiosity, frankly i hope it is that, because if its not then i should really be worried haha. Obama said that the pictures are very gory and brutal. and apparently there was a video taken, now im not too sure if that is correct, but if there is I WANT TO SEE IT

Sea Burial

why at sea, i though like everyone else. but after i read an article on yahoo.com, i read some really compelling reasons why at sea. like, what country would want to bury a mass murderer in their countries soul? i know damn well i wouldnt want to bury him here. another reason is, where ever he would of been buried would of attracted extremists everywhere as some sort of shrine like burial ground.

OSAMA BIN LADEN DEAD

Apparently Osama bin laden has been killed over a week ago by a military bombing. No other information is out at the moment it has just been released on FOXnews.

Classroom Discussion reflection

HOT HOT HOT
this topic got really intense and i loved every minute of it. there were many moments where i thought some peoples feelings were going get hurt, but everyone was respectful and strong. im kind of saddened that most of the time we were talking about how emergency rooms are filled with illegal immigrants, and thats why it takes forever to see a doctor. a little bit of a let down, but as soon as we got past that little scuttle we moved into dangerous territoy like race and the color of peoples skin. i didnt like the fact that people were making generalizations and stereotyping, but i guess you kind of have to in a situation involving race. overall i enjoyed this discussion as i have enjoyed the ones before, but this one seemed to hit a little closer to home for some kids in the class.
and thank you to mr palo for staying quiet the whole time and letting us do our business, i think we accomplish more when you arent there holding our hands guiding us through what we should be doing on our own.
i look forward to any discusions i have with people now about topics like this, because now i know i can actually talk and understand the whole story not just what everyone generally knows.
