1. It will change the way the men get accused of rape. Most of the time men will have to fight for their innocence of being accused of rape.
2. I believe it does make it harder to charge fellows who do get accused of rape, but didn't actually do it. It makes it harder because if the person can prove that the other say yes, it won't be as easy to charge someone with rape.

1. I believe people in West Virginia look for jobs that don't need a college degree. Many of the jobs in West Virginia doesn't require a degree. For some graduates, it is hard to find a job with the degree that they have.
2. I believe the percentages is so low for multiple reasons. I believe that some residents in West Virginia don't have the money to go to college because it can be expensive at times. I also believe that some adults don't believe they can go to college because of education issues.
3. I believe if people was guaranteed a job after college, there is more of a chance to for people to go to college. If colleges lower their tuition, it can also increase the chances of students going to college

     In this article, it explains how the ISIS has improved from the past.It explains how the ISIS made it through drone attacks and civil wars. Recently,  they formed an "Islamic State".Information was learned that the ISIS has formed a some what government. They are doing this for when they win the battle they will have people to run the area. They have advanced from just being war based to actually proving food and shelter for the people living in that area. They have a council to decided on who should beheaded and who shouldn't be. In order to keep peace, Islamic state is separated into Syrian and Iraqi branches. We now get to be able to see that the people who are in charge of the military influences the government side of things.

I believe each parent has their idea of reasonable punishment. There is always a certain point when the punishment gets out of hand. If the whipping get out of hand here should be legal issues. I believe that the way discipline has change dramatically. Now days If someone sees a parent whipping their child, most people will call the cops on them. In the old days, a lot of families used whipping as punishment.

The fake towers go against the the US Constitution because of the privacy laws. If people are tracking in on people's phone calls or texts, it lets them know information on someone that they shouldn't know. I believe they are located near military bases to gain information about the military. People can be trying to find information about our military services and use it to their advantage.I believe that the government is not involved with these fake towers. They already listen to our phone calls without them, so there would be no need for them to  make towers.

In the response of the attorney not getting the correct punishment, Rick acted out. He said that he will cut all funding that goes to the attorney, if the attorney doesn't step down. After she refused to quit, he stopped the funding. He believes that charges he got were unjustified. Do I agree with his reasoning?

I am not surprised that something of that level could happen. It has happened to many of people before. I always do think about what I post online. because you never know who would be seeing the post and how it could affect someone. Sometimes I do worry that people would get offended from some posts. I do believe people should get prosecuted because they are doing something illegal by hacking into I cloud.
