I this article by Manny Gonzales of the denver post it talks about a shooting that happened downtown. Everyday we hear about somebody getting shot, but why the things people argue about today are pointless and get escalated for no reason. Why is it that people in the world today always seek violance to anwser any porblems they have. By the way this shootin that happened was over a parking spot! Imagine that you are pulling into a parking lot and you pull into a spot that someon else wants, ok nothing will happen. Now imagine the person who wanted that spot gets out of his car starts yelling and then pulls a gun and starts shooting. Thats a pretty strong action to take over a parking spot. How can things like this keep going on in the world around us. There are wars in countrys because they dont belive in the same religion, people get shot over one hundred dollars, many people every year are killed because they live a couple of blocks to the west. Yet with all the law enforcment and anti-gang units, people are still being killed over a hand signal being held up in the wrong place. It has escalated to the point that a closer parking spot to where youyr going is worth causeing bodily harm or potentialy killing. Everybody just needs to calm down take deep breaths and say to them selves "its just a parking spot."

Birth control in schools
http://www.denverpost.com/ci_7334151 By Jeremy Meyer
This article in the Denver Post is about how some schools around the country and in Colorado want to make it easy to access birth control pills through your school. Wait what? Who thinks up something like that, who would think "hey if we need the number of teen pregnancies to go down why don't we just encourage teens to have more sex." To me this doesn't make sense at all and is just plain weird. Sure by giving these teens access to birth control will drop the number of teen pregs, but it also gives teens who are not active to get the right protection so that they can start . In my opinion I think that the parents should play a bigger part in this decision and have the final say whether this goes on in there child's school, or at least talk to there kids them selves and be a little more responsible. Its a lot different then every day decisions and parents I think need to really take things into consideration, because if somebody decides to call in sick and not go to work they can maybe get away with it or just get yelled at but if they don't take responsibility with there children then they have a angry pregnant 14 year old. So if the school chooses to do this then that's good for them but i still think that a parents role in the children's life will keep them safer then birth control

Halo 3 in churches
http://thefischbowl.blogspot.com/2007/10/three-ordinary-articles.html By, Karl Fisch
This about three different articles but I'm going to concentrate on the Halo in churches. In this article it talks about how churches around the country are using the hit game Halo 3 to attract young people to the church. I think this is very strange, how does a church that is there to teach religion and spread the word of god going to hold Halo nights to get more teens to attend church. Even though its seems morally wrong, it would make me go to church more. If my church offered halo nights in return for an hour of worship then I'm game! Even though I've been in splints and a cast for about three weeks I keep up on my "gaming." Yet It still puzzles me how a place of religion and peace offers one of the most violent games outhere just for teens to go to church, but what ever floats your boat I could really care less what decisions they make.

local/ Brandon Marshell gets DUI
http://www.denverpost.com/ci_7250465
In this article it talks about Denver Bronco receiver Brandon Marshell getting a DUI this weekend. Really! I understand you're of the age and had just upset the Steelers and you want to celebrate, but call a cab. If you're a professional athlete then act like you deserve to be one, if you make millions of dollars for playing your favorite sport then why take any chances by doing stupid things like drinking and driving! That just ties into all the other things happening around the league! For example, Mike Vick who just a couple years ago was the highest paid man in the NFL but I guess he loves torchering and killing animals more than playing pro football and making hundreds of millions of dollars. The list goes on and on for NFL players getting into trouble, Pacman Jones, Mike Vick, Terrel Owens, The Bengals and so on. But the thing that really turns me green are players who get caught for drugs. It is the stupidest thing in the world! Playing pro ball isn't fun enough so you have to snort some drugs and make it rain on dem ladies (Pacman!) NFL players are some of the dumbest people. Don't get me wrong NBA and MLB and all the other pro sport leagues have there fair share of stupid people, but its mostly NFL and NBA. They all need to look in the mirror and be reminded that they are role models for people around the world and leaders of there teams, and they need to grow up and start acting like professionals.

http://thefischbowl.blogspot.com/2007/05/wikipedia-4-out-of-5-experts-agree.html By Carl Ficsh
In this article it talks about how 4 out of 5 scholars agree that wikipetia is accurate and is good for research. Honestly I think it doesn't matter. If somebody thinks that it is not a reliable source good for them just look it up elsewhere. Except they don't they feel it necessary to complain about it and go on about how bad it is. That's nice but its only your opinion and I could care less what someone thinks is a reliable search engine. If i like it and they don't am i supposed to just see the light and change my mind and then be another attention wanting person who wants to complain about every little thing? So if it truly helps someone sleep at night knowing that they just made them selves look like a three year old that feels it necessary to whine all the dang time!

6 year old wants snack. PLN Local
http://www.denverpost.com/ci_7128230 By Kirk Mitchell Denver post
In this article a 6 yer old boy who was hungry and wanting a snack took his car set and put it in the drivers seat. He then turned on the car and backed out to go to applebees, but he couldn't make the car go forward and hit a electric transformer. This article is funny and you can laugh all you want but where were the parents? I can understand a child getting out of sight but long enough for him to set a car seat u and back out of the garage and into a transformer. Its just bad parenting. At the bottom of the article it states that the child wont be charged, that's all good but maybe they should fine the parents or sentence them to parenting class or something because that can not go unnoticed. It might be just me but i would lock my car from now on if i were them., soon enough he will learn to put it in drive.

Ed. Blog 2
http://thefischbowl.blogspot.com/2007/10/more-thoughts-on-filtering.html
In this article in the Fisch bowl it talks about the rights being taken away from the students and teachers who try and use websites like youtube but cant. Schools have put such a strong restriction on sites and other materials that it is taking away so much information that could be used. It also takes away our rights to read and view these websites. Just the other day my Spanish teacher needed to use youtube to show us a dance from a spanish country but could not. I one hundred percent agree that teachers and students should have more freedom on the internet at school.
