I dont think that the technology that shows peoples emotions should be for everyone.I think it should just be for scients to see more into human emotions and to see how it effects us. Letting anyone to have the ability to see emotions just from one simple picture could be harmful at times. For example, someone could b...

Many people think or believe that they should get rid of the Electoral College vote for the president. Well in my opinion I believe they should not keep it because why do we even need them for?

I say that making driverless cars would be great you would be able to talk in a car more efficiently, watch your kids, play games do all the things you've ever wanted to do in a car, done!

My argument is about how the landform is just a natural occurance. I may have proof to why it may just be another hoax N.A.S.A. may be involved in. If you look closely at the pictures took within the time period of 1976-2001 you can tell there has been a mistake because you look at the (Face on mars) and you think what...
