Do you think they deserve forgiveness

You hear occasionally of an accident shootings in different parts of the world where a soldier either accidentally shoots a innocent standby or they aim to kill. Are theses shootings really there choice to make? An accident is an accident or someone commanding you, there is nothing you can do! But if you are a person and you try to kill in scent people for fun then it is wrong, and you do not deserve forgiveness. If someone commands you to do something and you do not follow their commands you could be in trouble or even loose your job. In the survey "which of the acts below deserved forgiveness?" It gives an sample of a soldier obeys his commanders order to shoot an unarmed mother and child. I think he should be forgiven no matter what because he had to follow his command form someone higher up then him. If he would have shoot them just for fun or for the sake of it I would not forgive him but he had to do what he had to do to save his job, because he was probably trying to support a family back home. That women most likely had a family and a husband to support that was back at home. As you can see I think that you should forgive him because he had to follow his command and so he does what is best for him. So yes you should forgive him.

Is My Twitter Safe?

 Are social networking sites really safe? Is your Account secured? Recently there has been a outbreak of people hacking into peoples twitter accounts, Approximately 250,000 accounts. Twitter has come out and said that noting that the company now is among the “recent uptick in large-scale security attacks aimed at U.S. technology and media companies,” Twitter is already taking action and has sent out emails to the people who's twitter was hacked and they have required a reset of passwords before any hacked handle can be accessed again. When people think that it is not a really big deal all they have to do is reset there password and move on it dose not seem like a big deal, but it is. Its the fact someone else has been on your account and you have family, friends, and probably bosses the on occasions check your page out. Its the image it has on yourself.
As a owner and a member of social networking sites i do not think to have a hard password, Now I may be changing my mind in this case. My pastor (every day) gets on all of my pages on social networks to try to catch me doing something wrong, I would hate if someone posted something bad and he would think it was me because I would get in a lot of trouble. What really concerns me is that twitter should have some control over the where abbots these logins are coming from. I remember when I was in California and i logged onto Facebook and there was a warning thing and i have to reset my password and answer security questions just because they were moderating all accounts. In the article it said twitter handles about 0.125 percent of the 200 million active twitter accounts.
As a active member of twitter i have asked myself what are ways I can help protect myself and my accounts,  they told us, and I quote " Twitter is taking this opportunity to remind the other 99.9 percent of its users to ensure that their passwords are strong, with “at least 10 (but more is better) characters and a mixture of upper- and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols – that you are not using for any other accounts or sites.” This connects to me because I have a twitter account and most likely I am not that 0.125 percent that is watched over.

Railroad Crossing Danger

The United States is a dangerous place, We have to watch out for Toxins,diseases,Accidents and other Tragic accidents. Rail Road crossings is just another thing to add onto the list. In Tuckerman Arkansas there was a tragic accident involving a 18 year old, a 16 year old and a 14 year old. The three teenagers where traveling through Tuckerman and came across a rail road crossing where they were hit by a Train. The 18 year old was ejected from the car and was killed instantly, The other two teens where taken to the near by hospital where the youngest one had to be air lifted to Arkansas Children's Hospital  where they are in critical condition. Residents and eye witnesses say they heard no sign of a train and there was no rail road crossing arm and the cops have concluded that the music could have been turned up to loud where they could not have heard the train.

As a teenager I drive my vehicle to Little Rock and back three times a week, meaning I cross a rail road about six times a week. This puts me in a high risk for coming in close contact to a train. I think that this accident could have been prevented, Putting a rail road arm could be a starter. I think that all areas where people cross should have a arm guard for showing when a train is near and help prevent someone from getting seriously hurt. I know the 16 year old boy from Newport, we used to be great friends. This is connecting to me in many ways, driving across rail road crossings a lot, and the boy from Newport. 

In America we have a lot of things that could tragically happen to us everyday, we try to avoid these as much as possible. Putting these rail road crossing arms would really help save more peoples lives, And protecting me more safely as I travel every week.
