These glasses could also recognize street names to help you navigate through unfamiliar areas. </p> <p>Would you use glasses like these? Could you see yourself using it at business functions where networking is paramount? What if you don't have bad vision would you "fake the funk" just to look like a smooth party goer? Or do you think that using gadgets to help you with memorizing people is cheating? </p> http://citizensreport.org/forum/topic.php?id=3#post-8 Tue, 19 May 2009 00:24:20 +0000 JV2 8@http://citizensreport.org/forum/ <p>Of course it is going to affect people. in the current economic climate the first thing a company does to cut costs is get rid of employees. this is the true definition of capitalism, its survival of the fittest...plus when a company has a fiduciary duty to shareholders the pressures of delivering are pressures we will never face. </p> <p>I will always offer support for people who have been laid off...if, as discussed in the first post, you are fired due to the economic crisis then you will never have to work again because that is illegal. </p> http://citizensreport.org/forum/topic.php?id=2#post-7 Tue, 19 May 2009 00:15:44 +0000 JV2 7@http://citizensreport.org/forum/ <p>I am shocked by the two reponses. How do we know that ALL men don't take reponsibility for pregnancies? Yes single mothers probably outweigh single fathers 4-1 but there are many other variables as to why there are single mothers AND fathers. </p> <p>I would support male birth control simply to make sex safer but not because men are the bane of women's existence. Not all men are Shawn Kemp's </p> http://citizensreport.org/forum/topic.php?id=2#post-6 Tue, 19 May 2009 00:12:02 +0000 kevinp 6@http://citizensreport.org/forum/ <p>1) it will encourage male infidelity haha. 2) man boobs...problem is always lurking 3) if the pill isn't depressing our women then who will? 4) the hormonal version may need to be cut with progesterone. see # 2&#38;3 from above. 4) by the time it hits the market i will be driving all my kids around in my own school bus! maybe some funding for the version that makes the tail not work. that would be the bomb as long as unwanted preg were not affected. women pill gives them younger skin thru 40's. not a bad thing...consider it spf 50 in a pill </p> http://citizensreport.org/forum/topic.php?id=2#post-5 Mon, 18 May 2009 23:05:54 +0000 brendan2325 5@http://citizensreport.org/forum/ <p>it's high time men are held accountable for pregnancies, std's, etc. so yes, i fully support a male contraceptive. </p> http://citizensreport.org/forum/topic.php?id=2#post-4 Mon, 18 May 2009 22:52:42 +0000 angelascooper 4@http://citizensreport.org/forum/ <p>100%! For centuries, birth control has so often been the responsibility of the woman and in many cases it has resulted in unwanted pregnancies, unsafe abortions, single mothers etc. which all watershed into other larger issues like hospital/school over crowding, insuficient healthcare and a myriad of other issues. If there is a safe birth control option for men, I definitely think men should step up and take some responsiblity in preventing unwanted pregnancies. </p> http://citizensreport.org/forum/topic.php?id=3#post-3 Mon, 18 May 2009 22:35:26 +0000 Melanie Watson 3@http://citizensreport.org/forum/ <p>A clinical psychologist at the University of Alabama Birmingham School of Public Health suggests that you regroup after loosing you job. Experts are suggesting that people tend to their mental health before diving into the job hunt.</p> <p>What do you think? Have you got laid off or fired due to our current economic crisis? What were the largest hurdles that you had to overcome after loosing your job?</p> <p>I know many friends who are unemployed and I realize how it not only affects the person without his or her job but also those around them. It's important more than ever to offer support to those without a job and to remain positive in the light of rising anxieties. </p> http://citizensreport.org/forum/topic.php?id=2#post-2 Mon, 18 May 2009 22:25:10 +0000 Melanie Watson 2@http://citizensreport.org/forum/ <p>Citizens Report posted a video about a video from CNN in which Dr. Sanjay Gupta said men could be given a male contraception injection.
