"The deal with ripping the paper is that it was a government document, and destroying government documents cannot slide. No matter what level and for what reasons she committed this crime, she still comitted a crime and whatever punishment is…"

"A lot of people would say that the 2016 election didn't reflect the will of the people because Trump lost the popular vote. Those same people favor the demolition of the electoral college. I think the election reflected the will of the states more…"

"Tensions between parties have been higher since the 2016 elections. With Trump winning the electoral vote and Clinton winning the popular vote Democrats have been upset as well as many Americans forgetting the value of the Electoral college which…"

"It is possible that someone else may have done the same thing, but a hypothetical situation doesn't make the violation of a law more acceptable. We could say that another person would have comitted a murder if someone else hadn't, but that doesn't…"

"Both sides act childishly. This time however, Pelosi may have violated a law which should be investigated. If she was in violation of that law she should face the consequences, but I think that putting her in prison would be too harsh. She will…"

"I hope they continue the investigation so that she can be justly punished for her selfish disrespect. Her actions were out of malice and a political statement and she potentially acted rashly and now has a potential wave of consequences heading her…"

"Under that same logic, democrats should seek to investigate Pelosi and Show the republicans who is the "bigger man" by giving support to the investigation. If Pelosi did in fact break the law then it is under that law where she should recieve the…"

"They should look into this event and if she was in violation of this law she should be punished. I think that a year in jail may be a bit extreme in addition to certain job loss and prevention from holding a governmental office again. I think that a…"

"Politics are all about inflating situations to aggrivate their opponents. The democrats tried with all the evidence they could gather to Impeach and remove Trump from office and now republicans are taking the opportunity presented to them to do the…"

"I agree that this should be looked into and if she indeed violated a law she should be adequately punished. She acted out of hatred and political bias, but by ripping the speech she discounted the acheivements of Trump and America before they could…"

"I agree, it was extremely disrespectful. I believe she could've done her fact checking and "Trump is a liar" spiel after the event itself rather than ripping the speech in public view for political prstige. Now she has potentially thrown herself…"

"There are some veiws which both parties have shared in the past, but they will always change their platform to spite the other. Their childlike responses are one of the few things they do share.  At the farthest end of the spectrum politicians are…"

"I got the impression that it was a completely planned political statement, rather than an ethical one. She nonchalantly ripped it without any hint of emotion and that to me screams that it was planned rather than a quickly and recklessly made…"

"All politicians are greedy to a degree-- some people more than others. But neither side is clean from corruption and greed-- not democrats and not republicans. While I agree that Pelosi's actions should be investigated every action against the other…"

"I agree that they should continue the investigation because no one, even those protected by a political circle, should be exempt from the law. She ripped the speach to make a point and political statement, but discounted American acheivements,…"

"I agree, and I wish people on both sides wouldn't act so childish. She discounted the accomplishments of America and even if some things were false I believe Trump deserved the benefit of the doubt in the moment and fact-checking can be done later."

"I agree. The democrats and republicans should hold their representatives to the same standards they do their own party members. Since there was an investigation on Trump for potential illegal activity, they should investigate Pelosi for the same."

"I agree that the two sides should be more respectful to each other. Pelosi immaturely ripped the speech to rally support of the democrats, but it is completely possible that the republicans who are looking to convict her are also acting imaturely…"

"I agree with you that it was a poor representation of our country. Democrats and Republicans fight like siblings, constantly trying to undercut and one-up eachother. By ripping the speech she discounted Trump's and America's accomplishments even if…"

"Alex3 created another forum post that relates to mine in its topic. They talk about how Pelosi did a test rip of the speech before she had even heard it-- as if she was planning to rip the papers no matter what was contained within it. Because this…"

"I understand that China did not want to create panic, but by hiding news about the corona virus they crippled their people and medical system. Without this knowlege people did not exercise sufficient caution and caused the virus to spread. China…"

"I am not an inherantly argumentative person, so I highly doubt that I would engage in any passionate argument with a stranger. If I were a member of the man's family I would have tried to de-escalate the situation before anything violent had the…"

" Fourty-Niners fans are definitely disappointed as they were favored to win and choked right at the end of the game, but it was a close game so I hope their fans are happy that their team made it to the bowl and put up a good fight. I'm not in a…"

"Because they were illegally selling data I hope that those affected file a class action law suit against the companies because they were profiting off of their user's personal information. Now there are several companies who have access to a…"

"He should definitely be fined heftily for not only stealing the animals from their habitat and violating phillipine law, but also for the inhumane manner in which he trafficked and caused the death of some of the lizards. It is also possible that he…"

"If I were responsible for him I would not fire him, but I would warn him to be more cautious with what he says regarding the holocaust and Hitler because of their conotation today. He should have been more careful when he interviewed, but what I got…"

"No he shouldn't be punished, or at least not so severely as losing his job and hope of another employment opportunity. The coach clearly has no malice toward minority groups and did not support Hitler's deeds or motivations. The holocaust is a very…"

"The tip lines are without a doubt helpful. They have prevented many suicides and shootings and give students a person to place their trust in outside of the school staff. I have not used a tip line before, but I definitely would if I felt that it…"
