Glitches in the healthcare system??

Just curious sense you do hear about the glitches in the system. The GOP is using the glitch in the healthcare page as a reason for to push their agenda to delay the plan into taking action. Some democrats are actually now saying that maybe we should consider a delay or at least consider giving extensions to give people more time to get insurance. I feel like even IF there is not a delay there should be an extension.

Below are several takes either democrats or Republicans making their claims.

How do feel about the glitches. I just heard as I type this that there are still problems. Now the Republican law makers want to make Obama's administration to release the number of people who have successfully signed up for the new plans. Should there be a delay or should something like  this be suspected.

Do facebook = increased divorces

Funny thing I was listening to the James fortune's radio show on mypraise 102.5 Atlanta's inspirational station. (best station if you like gospel music by the way). He has a segment called what will you do if this happens to you. Well the topic yesterday was based on an article that stated that 1/3 of divorces have been linked to facebook. I thought that was very interested so I went to search to see if I could find the article. honestly I am not sure if he quoted the site or I just forgot so I am not sure if this is the same one or not. However, I did find one that stated that said that  "33 per cent of the 5,000 behaviour-based divorce petitions filed with the firm in the past year mentioned the site." Here is the full link here of the story here.

So this link only talks about only facebook. So it makes me curious on how many other social media sites have been linked in divorce papers. Do you think that there was problems already in paradise or is it true that these different mass media outlets are making it easier to cheat?

My personal opinion is that it may be true that social media may allow you to link to old class mates or even other people. However, I don't think it makes a person to cheat. I think it's up to the individual to be able to connect with people from their past without cheating on your spouse or even your significant  other. I think if you think it's too hard then maybe you should not get on social networks or not add your ex's or people you think you are attracted to. It's kind of crazy but I love judge Judy and she has been a judge for many years and she has claimed it's crazy on how many people now uses social networks as their evidence. I think that will grow because so many people are so careless on what they put online. I think they forget that once it's online it pretty much out there for ever. Especially with features like snapshot, even you have strict privacy setting people can take a picture of the context on their screen without you ever knowing. so there is no point of deleting anything.

what is your opinion on the increase of social networks being cited in the divorce papers ? do you think it will continue to increase? and also do you think we can blame the networks or was the relationship already in trouble? feel free to answer any of the questions or all if you want to.

It has been successful according to them on the view they have stated he has received over 10,000 responses. I hope he gets his wish soon. Is it ok to use the media to get attention like this. Or just what you think about the story.

Shut down

This shut down is crazy if you ask me. I think they are being a bunch of babies and we are going to feel the end effect of all this. Reason that I am so against it is. One the Republicans claim its to show that they are so against the affordable health care act or better known as “Obama care”. Well guess what is up in running Obama care and what’s not operating the government. Secondly, ironically it’s costing us money every day that the government is shut down. So we closed and literally losing money. I feel that they don’t give rats behind about the smaller individuals that they are hurting by being shut down. So what they are willing to “hold” their check until it’s over. That doesn’t impress me why because they will still get paid while some government officials will not get a check unless they file for unemployment which takes a while and on top of that will not be the same amount that they lost.
  Here are link to who are affected by shut down

So what do you think. I think they are don't doing they jobs and instead of the the other government officals that are losing money. I think they should becasue they are responsible of balancing a budget no matter what. so wha's yur take on the matter. Do you agree with the the stance each side has taken?
