Interesante manera de aprender.
Me gusta la manera en que los estudiantes se enteran de las noticias y opinan de lo que sucede en el mundo. Sobre todo que aprendan a darle otro uso al internet.
Robber Sues Store He Robbed (CRAZY!!)
The story is in http://www.wxyz.com/mostpopular/story/Convicted-Thief-Sues-Store-He-Robbed/w4w0m74_aU-c_swInXW2rQ.cspx%20
Scott Thomas Zeilinski is suing a store he robbed in 2007. Zeilinski is serving an 8-22 year sentence for the robbery because he threatened to kill the employees before grabbing some cigarettes and cash. As he was leaving, still making threats, an employee grabbed a gun and shot him in the arm and back. His lawyer says Zeilinski is asking in excess of $125,000 for pain and suffering and emotional distress (crazy person) what about all the people he threatened to kill for a few bucks and some cigarettes. The employees could have sued HIM for emotional distress, he held a knife to their necks and he wants money for it, what a jack-ass! The owner spent thousands of dollars to increase security so the people are safe because of Zeilinski. Makes people suffer and then sues them. I can't believe this is legal.
P.S.
I think he should be in the loony bin instead of jail.

"Backwards"
Pathos(emotional appeal)-The video shows pathos on how Schwarzenegger promises lower taxes and a better time than before, so he brings in adults who don't want to pay too much for taxes, yet there have been tax increases and many people have lost their jobs forced to live in their vehicles or anywhere they can find to live.They show the little kids skipping, and smiling at the end of the video so he brings in more people that want to be happy and worry free.
Logos(logic)-The video uses logos by saying the opponent wants a $10 billion tax increase so people don't vote for him, and they say Schwarzenegger will protect the California Dream, and they pull in parents by showing the little kids at the end running through the park holding hands.People who don't earn enough don't vote for the opponent because with a tax increase it will be harder for them to pay taxes, especially if they earn minimum wage.
Ethos(credibility)-It shows ethos by talking about Arnold Schwarzenegger.Who doesn't know Arnold?Hes a famous actor and hes familiar to people so they pick him.They know him from "Terminator" so he gets more votes, the other candidate isn't very well known, and the Schwarzenegger campaign says Phil Angelides wants a $10 billion tax increase, and no one wants more taxes than they already have.
