  1. Al Roker defends dressing as white character for Halloween
    Why dose it matter if you dress up as a white or black character. Now we have racism in costumes. That's just retarded. Halloween is about dressing up as who ever you want to be no matter the color.
    Day of the Dead a lively celebration in Mexico
    What a lot of people don't know about day of the dead it starts on Halloween and ends November 2. Pretty much we visit the dead bring them gifts and food for them to have in their after life but for them to receive the gifts you need to have a photo of some sort of them up. Then the famous sugar skulls represent the departing of the soul. This holiday is celebrated with many Mesoamerican people. The only thing that is different is how they dress up in different part of Latin America compare to Mexico. But everyone has the traditional flowers to lead the loved dead ones to your home. Pretty much this holiday is so you don't forget the dead in American eye's. But in a Latin eye's it a way to communicate with your loved dead and give them gifts so you can show them how much they are loved.

  2. The stricter laws stem from a 2013 Supreme Court decision that struck down parts of the 1965 Voting Rights Act, which required the approval of the Justice Department before states made any changes to their voting laws.

    1. The Supreme Court has the Voting Rights Act where people can vote to see if they have a right or not. I have a right to vote when I turn 18. I think the Justice Department had needed people to obey the law.

  4. After going on Fox News I saw that "hundreds of brand-new Maseratis and other vehicles were destroyed at a seaport in Italy this week when floodwaters acted as the catalyst that exploded the luxury cars’ batteries into a raging inferno, reports said". "A severe storm sent rising seawater gushing through the port, engulfing the vehicles. Reports said it was the salt from the seawater that triggered the explosions. The luxury sports cars were reportedly swallowed by flames in just seconds". Also after looking on CBS, it seems like Japan is working on something called a "iBot". This robot is very intelligent and can answer almost every question.

  5. Google companies in Asia and Europe are having a huge amount of employees protest against how google deals with sexual harassment. These employees are tired of the adulterated business they are working for and are deciding to stand up to it by walking out. Over 150 people walked out in India alone. This is a big problem for google because with no workers, the famous company will surely plummet financially.

  12. In current events, there are a lot of rumors about the last Tyler Perry Madea movie. Many people are saying that this is the movie that Madea will die. In actuality, this is the movie that Madea plans a funeral for someone else. Madea is not dying. This is just the last movie that will have a Madea character. Similarly, The Big Bang Theory is filming it's final season. This is truly devastating to me because I have seen this show and these actors have the chemistry that everyone can relate to on and off the set.

  30. The new iPhone update allows you to FaceTime with up to 32 people, and that's way to many people to be face timing at one time if you ask me. And also there is also the smartphone prices that are rising in India. The only reason why they are rising is because their currency is going down.
