Opinion piece

Is forced volunteerism good or bad?  There are many junior and high  schools over the country that require students to do certain number of hours of volunteering or community service. I think that volunteering is good for any person. Everyone should do it. But it shouldn't be forced upon someone who doesn't want to do it.

If a school feels that  their students should try community service then they should plan 1-2 field trips a year and show and support community service. I would feel much be

A 19-year-old shoplifter dies last Saturday. The police found out it was a Timothy Milan. He worked as a cook at a restaurant. A guard from Panzer's Department store saw Milan stuff some sweaters down his pants and left out of the department store passing the checkout line.

When a police arrived and cuffed Milan up he collapsed. Later the autopsy determined the cause of the death was not enough oxygen to the brain. Police believes that Milan should have never done this. "Milan should never have run fro

Long Response 1.If I were Michael Flynn I would feel offended. It was disrespectful. 2.No I think if you fired someone it wouldn't be by social media and he probably just did to get the problem out of his way when he should have resolved it like a civilized man. I think that is not being responsible. 3.No twitter is not the appropriate media to start fights on neither any other social media.
