Sandusky Tries To Strike Back


Jerry Sandusky was convicted for child sex abuse. He was convicted in June of 2012. There have been audio clips of Jerry Sandusky trying to discredit one of the eyewitnesses in the case against him. Jerry Sandusky said that he did not understand how someone could walk in and hear sex noises when they were goofing around. I personally believe he is not innocent and he should stay in jail for his full sentence. Even without the witness that said that he heard “Sex noises” the kids he sexually abused came to court and testified against him.

Church Refuses Same Sex Marriage Until Gay Marriage is Legal


A  North Carolina church is stopping heterosexual marriages until the state legalizes gay marriage. The Green Street United Methodist Church announced that through a strong statement asking congregation’s pastor to perform a gay wedding instead of the official marriage rights. Unfortunately the United Methodist Church is restricted to only heterosexual marriages. Throughout our entire nation we are trying to legalize same sex marriages and to allow them the same rights as opposite sex marriages.  The people of the Green Street United Methodist Church believe that all people should be allowed to marry no matter if they are Gay straight or bi-curious.

Children are Apples Biggest Buyers


Apple was sued by parents because their child downloaded a free game but then the child would make multiple purchases in the game for the in game extras with the parents knowing. Apple is now offering a $5 iTunes Gift card for any parent who has claimed that their child has made and in game purchases without the consent of the parent. If the bill exceeds more than $30 and the parents can prove it happened before the lawsuit then they can receive cash instead of iTunes credit. A Florida father reported that his 7 tear old child charged a total of $613 on his credit card playing a game called “Tap Fish.”  It is like Farmvill but underwater.  After that Apple had to revise its in app purchasing policy making it so that you need to reenter your password before you buy an in-game purchase.
