North Korea Attacks South Korea

http://www.wishtv.com/dpps/news/international/skorea-reports-2-civilian-deaths-in-nkorea-clash-wd10-jgr_3656865

The country of North Korea attacked their neighboring country of South Korea. There has always been disputes between the countrys. With this attack the tension has rised and more conflicts may come. The U.S. has said that they will support the South.

I believe that not only do the U.S. need to help the South but others do too. North Korea has nuclear missions and they can really effect the world. We as the world need to stop the North before lives are killed.

NFL Concussions

This passed Sunday NFL receiver Hines Ward was taken out of the important game against the New England Patriots. His problem was he was diagnosed with a concussion after a hard hit. The reason this is become a problem was because he wanted to go back in the game but the doctors and team officials wouldn’t let him. The reason was his concussion. Now he has called out the NFL and said that the play should be able to decide if he can go back in and play in the game. 
I am totally against what Hines Ward is saying to do. A doctor knows way more about health and concussions than plays do. They should be the judge on to wether let the player go back in the game or not. In most cases the player will obviously want to go back into the game especially if it is an important one. Doing this could cause even more serious injuries to a player and make the matters once. A concussion is all ready bad but if the player would get hit again, severe brain damage could be made. The NFL and teams have the right to hold players out because their safety and health is more important than anything.

Drinks Banned

The state of Indiana has just recently banned the selling of high energy alcoholic drinks. These drinks are filled with the same amount of three beers and two energy drinks. They have been taken off the shelves because of how dangerous they are.
             I personally believe that what the state did was a good thing. The drinks were filled with pure dangerous liquid. We don’t need people drinking stuff like this because it can cause extreme danger to the person consuming it and those around the consumer. The government needs to protect its people so they should have the right to take products off the market.

McDonald's Lawsuit

A Brazilian manager has recently sued the McDonald’s franchise for $17,500. The reason for the lawsuit is that the manager gained 29 kg over the 12years that the man was working there. The 32-year-old man says he was forced to sample food products each day to ensure that quality standards remained high because McDonald's hired "mystery clients" to randomly visit restaurants and report on the food, service and cleanliness. He also said that they were given free lunches which also contributed to the weight gain. The man did indeed win the case.
I for one, think this is the stupidest thing that I have ever heard when it comes to lawsuits. The guy is an idiot. All he had to do was quite his job, and go work at another fast food restaurant. It’s his entire fault for what happened to him so he shouldn’t have even worked there in the first place. Its McDonalds, its not like it is a huge job and that it is that big of a deal to find somewhere else to work. He was probably just trying to get a fast pay check.
