He was no angel but does that merit a death sentence

http://www.philly.com/philly/news/20120327_Jenice_Armstrong__TRASHING_TRAYVON__He_was_no_angel__but_does_that_merit_a_death_sentence_.html


    This article was about how the boy named Trayvon Martin was murdered while on a visit to see his father in Florida. This article states that the boy (Trayvon) was on his way back to his dad's fiancee's house. as said in the article "Zimmerman, a self-appointed neighborhood-watch volunteer, noticed him walking through the neighborhood and dialed 9-1-1. A police dispatcher told Zimmerman not to follow Trayvon, but Zimmerman did anyway." then when the cops came they saw Trayvon laying there with a gunshot wound, But the man never got arrested.
    At first mostly all people were on the side of Trayvon, but as they found out that the only reason Trayvon was visiting his father was because he got suspended from school for having a bag with marijuana residue inside of it, some people changed their point of view about the killing of Trayvon. Now some people think that Trayvon may have provoked the man who shot and killed him, but still no one will actually know what happened before Trayvon got shot.
    The real question is, even if Trayvon provoked the man, did he have the right to shoot and kill him? I do not think the man had any rights to shoot Trayvon. The reason i say this is because when Zimmerman called the cops and told him about the situation they told him to stay in the car. But he took things in his own hands, he got out the car, followed Trayvon and killed him. Another thing I think is that even if he did provoke him, Trayvon still had no weapon on him, and no one should ever get away with murder no matter how good of an explanation you have for killing someone.
    

Against Knicks, Sixers doomed from the start

http://www.philly.com/philly/sports/20120321_Against_Knicks__Sixers_doomed_from_the_start.html?cmpid=137039688

    This article is about the Sixers on their lost against the New York Knicks and how they lost to the knicks. Some of the reasons why they lost to the knicks (as said in the article), "Wow, you start out 0-for-14, that's tough to fight out of, said coach Doug Collins" then he said, "We're going to have to be ready to learn to play when people get into us and run our offense, get the ball to the right spots." another reason why they lost is because they did not play very physical.
    I think that the Sixer can beat the Knicks if they really tried to and gave all their afford. The Sixers is a very young, talented, and healthy with great defense. All they need to work on is getting more physical, hustling for loose balls, and fighting threw contact to get easy points in the paint. Another reason they are not as great as other teams is because they have no star players, no one to rely on in close game situations.
    Even with the Sixers not be physical and not having a star player they still managed to come out with a good record this season, they may not be unstoppable but they play their hearts out every game and that's what makes them a great team. If the Sixers continue to play smart, and get a little more comfortable with their teammates, I think they haves what it takes to be the best team in the NBA one day.

For Women Under 30, Most Births occur Outside Marriage

    This article was mainly about how the percentage of unmarried birth has raised over the past years. It also tells how kids who are born to unmarried parents can be effected by this and why most kids are born to unmarried parents are most likely to have learning or behavior problems. But even with people knowing this they still chose not to get married.
    As said in the article, "Ms. Kidd, 21, said she could not imagine marrying her son's father, even though she loves him"
, & "Ms. Strader said her boyfriend was so depended that she had to buy his cigarettes. Marrying him never entered her mind."
   One of the reasons the articles gives you for why less and less people are marrying before having children is because of globalization and the pill , that is a good reason for less marriages.
    I think that most women are not getting married for good reasons, because most men these days still act like kids they don't want to get jobs but they want to have babies or they just get in a relationship and depend on their girlfriend to do and buy everything for them. But I also believe that if two people are going to have a baby together, at least love the person your having a baby with and think about if you can see yourself with him/her for the rest of your life. If you dont fell that way then you shouldn't have kids with that person.
  

76ers maul the Celtics

http://www.philly.com/philly/sports/20120307_76ers_maul_the_Celtics.html

    This article is about how people felt about the 76ers point guard Evan Turner and were concerned weather he was just useless to the 76ers or he just needed more playing time. On Wednesday, March 7, 2012 Evan proved that he was a big part of the 76ers starting line-up. He scored his career high of 26 points and led his team to the win over the Celtics. This changed everyones perspective about the point guard.
    I think that Evan Turner is a great player & i believe he is good overall on both sides of the floor, Offense and Defense. But the real questions are, is Evan Turner a soon to be all star,? is he clutch,? and can he hold his to to going to the Championship this year? Nobody knows what they are soon to see from the point guard.
    I believe that if Evan Turner continues to play at they level he played against the Celtics he will have no problem taking over for his team. I also think that if he had a little more time in the game he could get a better feel for the game and contribute more to his team, in points and steals.
    Even if Evan doesn't be the best this year his time will come one day, if you work hard and put in 100% effort its no way that it wont pay off.
