I see many are applauding the President on Gun Control and I do as well. However, our opportunity for gun control was in 2009-2010 when we held both houses of Congress and for a little while had 60 Senators. That was the time for the President to pass comprehensive Gun Control. We had it in our hands easily. Suddenly when we do not have the Congress at all, the President is asking Congress to pass what should already have been passed. How can he not apologize to every American for not doing the job already. I am so disappointed that nothing was done during that incredible opportunity. The Republicans couldn't even complain about it because they couldn't stop it at all. We had a blank check!
I suppose I will be bashed by this but I imagine everyone will agree even if they don't want to.
Unusual College Classes 2015: Beyoncé, Zombies And Harry Potter Among Course Topics
The link has the actual classes that are offered. And we wonder why not only are students raking up big loans for unnecessary classes but then complain when they have a Bachelor's Degree that is useless. We need to wake up because the rest of the world is studying Chemistry, Physics, and Calculus.
Here's a tip for incoming college freshmen: Class doesn't have to be boring. If you plan your schedule carefully, you will have time for some fun.
Course offerings change every semester, and many schools peg seminars and pop culture classes to current events. Chances are you'll have to take ancient history or molecular chemistry courses at some point, but you'll also have opportunities to explore topics you genuinely think are interesting, like zombie survival tactics or Harry Potter. Check out a few of the offerings at various institutions for the upcoming school year

Oktoberfest
I was just watching (BBC News or world news) and there is talk of canceling Oktoberfest this year. The situation with the refugees and having alcohol, food that is not typical for the refugees and clothes issues may make a choice of canceling it for they year to allow the Refugees to not have to deal with crowds of drinkers and other issues.
At first I was like....what? I went in 2007 and had a blast..........
but then I thought about it from the Refugees perspective and I think canceling it for this year is probably a good idea. They are guests of our country and we want them to be treated well and having the craziness that does come with Oktoberfest might not be a great way to show off their new country. I believe that they will have Oktoberfest in 2016 though.
Stunning number that should make our blood boil
I know this is not a source that is great at all, but that title made me do a double take. I saw it on Facebook and almost fell over. I don't know how we can get rid of 400 million guns, but I am stunned that we even have that many here in the U.S.
