Dubai kissing couple face jail as appeal fails
A couple of tourists kissed themselves in public in Dubai. A law in Dubai is that people can't kiss themselves in public. They where caught kissing and touching themselves intimately. This couple have a 30 day to have the court decision that will be a month in the jail plus a $300 fines for drinking alcohol.
We think this is ridiculous because when you are in a relationship you demonstrate your love by kissing and hugging so this is very weird. This country should understand that this people are tourists they come from a different culture were people show there love in a physical way.

Mexico Apologizes after soldiers kill two students
The Mexican government is apologizing to the families of the students Jorge Antonio Mercado Alonso(23) and Javier Francisco Arredondo Verdugo( 24) after two soldiers killed them early Friday. These Mexican soldiers where chasing some criminals, the soldiers shot, and killed the two students. The Mexican government feels very bad about this and the federal government will intensify this investigation to find out what happened. Both students where scholarship students.

We think that it is a terrible loss that two good students where killed by accident. We can't believe that the police shot these kids, even though it was an accident. It is very good that the government apologizes for this accident, but it won't cure this big damage.

19 killed in firecracker explosion in China
During chinese new year, firecrackers are being burned. Sadly, 13 people where found dead. Six people died in the hospital, too. Chinese people can't take the firecrackers off the ceremony, because they are a big part of it. We think that the firecrackers are good, but that they should be more careful about it. We also think that firecrackers are big pollution, and that it is very sad that people die in their celebration, because of the firecrackers.
