Actually, i understand this article, but it's not many ways to tell about this article. For example, facebook is good for find people and asking for help to people. whatever, messenger or facebook is help for people many ways. Jang H.jun

To answer Lauren's question, I don't think I would put that in my status before consulting an organ donors clinic and whatnot....if worse came to worse, yes, my plead for a kidney would probably end up in my facebook status. But in smaller ways, I see people asking favors and questions on facebook all the time, like homework help for example. -Amna Khurshid June 7 2010

I believed this Facebook connecting idea, which is great idea for someone who need to share the important massages to the peoples, that make happy to share to all.Facebook is a social network and it really helps to getting messages out there and help inform people quickly.share the massage like Eli and other peoples.It's really faster to awareness the massages to some people who want to be an Organ donor or other essential things.It's great awareness to raise donor for Kidney as well. The answer of Amna question is over here,Internet connects us with the people all over the world.World is now very small with the internet.We can know what is happening in and around the world with the help of internet.With out the internet all these are impossible to find out wrong or right. It is the fastest technology among all others technology."**Life will be as difficult as if searching a black cat in a dark room wearing black glass with the internet in this modern world.As oxygen is essential for respiration like that internet is necessary for the entire external life process".by Damodar.K**

Well I mean I guess that's great, but also not really a huge deal in my opinion. Although, I guess it just goes to show the benefits of networking websites and whatnot; connecting with anyone at anytime from anywhere. I'm glad to live in the technological generation, it brings us so much ease! And to think that the internet was only invented in 1989. My question is, how do you think our lives would be different without the internet? -Amna Khurshid

I think facebook can help people in many ways. what this man did was really good and proved that facebook just isnt for drama. Our generation is so used to technology that if we didnt have technology, alot of people would be lost. Technology helps us to stay in contact with people that we lost over the years. What do you think made this man turn to social networking to find a matching kidney ? jenna, june 6 2010.

Facebook is a huge network thousands of people use it if you look at some of you friends profile they might have a question because they need help and people comment. people put status's asking questions all the time. This man must of known it would work, he lucked out and got a kidney. People look at your profile and news feed and normally if you see something wrong with someone everyone looks at it and tries to make it better. My question is would you ever put something like this in your profile facing maybe no one wouls help?- lauren june7 7:18

This kid is going downhill fast. If at 2 years old he's already addicted to cigarettes and cries when he does not have one says alot about his parents. I agree that the parents are loving the attention, matter of fact I bet they are the ones that recored that video in the first place. But people please.. 2 years old and 40 cigarettes a day. Im suprised he's still alive! His tiny undevloped lungs are probally already filled with tar and have gone completly black. If this kid keeps it up and nobody steps in he's going to speaking out of a voice box by 5. Or even dead. Adam Kileel June 2, 10:36 PM

Lauren has a good point with the thought that the family is probably embarrassed, I never thought of it like that. Honestly, I wouldn't do anything if I saw a toddler smoking, because they are not my responsibility, nor would I care enough in the moment. Although obviously if the person was part of my life I would take away the cigarettes and seek help from professionals. I don't have much else to say on this topic. Amna Khurshid, June 2, 8:37PM

This boy is 2 years old, and hes throwing tantrums and hurting himself, maybe not directly but indirectly, hes still hurting himself, think of down the road, when hes maybe 5, all the money that was spent on his cigarettes, all of that money could be used in making his life alot better then it will be if he does not stop. At his age it will definetly lead to bigger problems when hes older, it could lead him into drugs, and cause serious problems to his helth, and that will take more money out of his (or his familys) pocket, and posibly lead him into stealing to get the money to do so. This is a problem, obviously. The people of his town should feel the need to say something to the mom, its a good thing that they're geting him to quit, but seriously, AT TWO YEARS OLD, this should never have happened, even if its "amusing" for the towns people. Would u do anything if u saw someone so young smoking, and his or her parents not stoping them? june 2/2010, Mathieu King

I can't believe this situation. 2 years old toddler doesn't know which one is good or not. I mean they need parent's help.I think this case is 100% his parent's fault. Give cigarrete to toddler is kind of violent. It could destroy his body and he might get lots of bad diseases. Jang H.Jun June 1st, 2010

That video was combination of many things...shocking, humorous, ridiculous/outlandish, and yet very believable. Here is my opinion and attempt to answer Damodar's question. Coming from an underdeveloped country myself (Pakistan) it's not uncommon in third world nations for things like these to be considered "part of their culture", simply because the population was educated about the harmful effects much later than other nations, and therefore not taken and handled seriously enough by the public. Another thing; places like these are so densely populated and are under much more "important" pressure (like government problems and poverty) that issues like these are often dismissed or passed on as entertainment. After living in a place like Pakistan, these observations are made very obvious. You can tell that the mother here does not take the problem very seriously, considering the fact that she even ever //thought// of buying a pack of cigarettes for her toddler (and then complaining about the price!). As for my question, does anyone think that the family of this boy might just be loving the world wide attention and not properly addressing the toddler's smoking addiction? -Amna Khurshid, June 1st 8:16 PM

The child's they don't know which one is right or wrongs.The parents should teach their kids. "They are the future of the country" don't let go for smoke.And the issue from my side is, Why tobacco and smoking are not control in Indonesia? BY Damodar.K May-31-2010**
 * -I Absolutely say the children's smoking in Indonesia was not really right age to smoke. Under 18 children's are not allowed to Smoke but Aldi yanked was only 2-year old boy how surprise was that."** **Smoking has been a part of our culture, carry a baby in one hand and a cigarette in another by chairman of Indonesia's National Commission for Child Protection said". I didn't believe this statement. the** **upper part of statement should be STOP in Indonesia. Smoking is the high risk for health,poisonous for children's and peoples, and it cause Cancer.One things is parents,National Commission for Child Protection and other health organizer should be control the smoking.why they believe smoking is the part of their culture?

I can't believe that this boy is hurting himself and crying because he is craving a cigarette. This is obviously not normal, and most likely his parents fault that they keep on giving him the cigarette's in the first place. Two year olds dont really know what is right and wrong at that age, their just beginning to realise at that age, and smoking is very wrong. Why do the parents give him the cigarettes when he wants one if they want him to stop? Are the parents or the little boy doing this for attention by the media ? Jenna June 2 2010

Well this is an interesting story..People who have an addiction can't just stop,maybe they are doing it for the media but at the same time its embarrassing for the family dont you think? i mean the whole world is judging you on the way they raised your child. So i am going to say no i dont think they are. Also you don't see the parents that much and shows another kid. I think the mother of the child brought it on herself, people who are pregent know not to smoke people of the third world country might not think so but if the mother knew she had to stop after birth she knew before when had the child. What do you think?Lauren June 2/2010

Lauren has a good point ... Why would she stop when the boy was born, but she smoked when she was pregnant, why couldnt she stop then? Dont you think they would be ashamed that their 2 year old boy is smoking? It seems like parts of this story is missing, it all doesn't make sence to me. Yes, people with addiction just cant stop, but when your 2 years old, you shouldnt even be worrying about that, no kid should be, also it says they were at a market and the mother turned around and he had a smoke in his hand, you would think that after one smoke a kid wouldnt want a smoke again, or get addicted, so why would she continue to give the smokes to him? Jenna, June 2 2010.

I don't know if you guys read my last post or not because it seems to have magically disappeared... But anyway I think the best solution to this problem would be for the two leaders from North and South Korea to sit down and talk it out. But as Amna just said, this is very unlikely due to their long and violent pasts. I think the West should defently stay out of this, but other regional countries could act as a middleman, Ex: China, Japan even Russia. I think the best country to step in would be China but recent reports from the news has said that China is staying neutral in this situation. And really who can blame them. Adam Kileel 11:26 May 31st PS: I agree Amna, these things are so stupid but sadly this is how the world works.

= = =Link 1 = = = Wow, where is my last post? Anyway, I disagree with Mathieu in his statement that the US should do something about this conflict between South and North Korea, simply because Clinton doesn't //actually// have anything to do with this. Damodar has some pretty good points, but I think punishing North Korea wouldn't solve anything, it would just send the two nations into a plummeting spiral of nonsense! As with anything else, I think the right thing to do would be for the leaders to sit down and converse and really figure out the problem--but obviously this will not happen as the world is a violent and unreasonable place. My question is, does anyone else think that things like these are absolutely absurd? --Amna Khurshid, 2:21 PM May 31st =I believe the Clinton respond to the south Korea Leader because the North Korea blame to people who do sinking in S. Korea, had no allowed to go other country and they did have close relationship with powerful kingdom because of that Clinton told that was unacceptable provocation to the South Korea. S.Korea should give some consequence and punish to N.Korea because of they try to stop sinking, threatened to ban cross tragic and their blame to S. Korea.Anyway Did you think S.Korea give punish and some serious consequence to N.Korea?= = = =U.S should be involved on the Serious cause of tension that happen by N.Korea sinking the ship of S.Korea.That made the misunderstanding of two country would be solve.Thats the good idea to involved and give some courage to small country.I think it didn't cause the War between the two country.Do you think why U.S involved and support to S.Korea?by Damodar May 30= = = =After looking at the map of Asia, and seeing how big China is, and to know that North Korea is supported by, and in kahoots with China, its overleming to think that China could be supplying North Korea with military arms and pushing North Korea towards attacking other countries. If this were to happen, and North Korea ended up attacking one of their two biggest enemies (South Korea, or Japan) it could turn a large amount of the world against each other. I do think that the U.S should do something about it, and the U.N should also continue helping out the smaller and less powerful countries, and prevent future conflict. But what if China gained more power from the actions of North Korea, what if China grew larger in power and decided to continue to attack South Korea? What should the U.S and Canada, as part of the U.N do then? May 30/2010. Mathieu King=

JangH. May 29, 8:21pm
 * I think U.S.A SHOULD TRY TO figure it out which country attempted to sank south korean ship, because , South Korea associated with U.S.A for a long time and if this situation is ignored, this case could lead to serious war like World war III. What do you think?

I believe that it could cause world war 111 because north korea is allies with China causing China to maybe turn against us.We would have north korea and China against us and the world would be unsafe for everyone. But i have to agree with Amna Clinton has nothing to do with this situtation what so ever. I think that the US always feels like they have to control other problems and that doesn't do any good. If north Kora wants to become violent than they will. We can't stop them if they really had there mind to do so. I think that they should try to talk it out. -Lauren May 31/2010**

I think that everyone has had a strong opinion and backed it up well, but i'm going to disagree with a lot of the WW3 predictions. I don't believe a ship sinking is big enough to have a world war about. I also don't believe that country's should be pointing fingers on who did it until there is a clear evidence on who did it. I also don't get why Clinton even got into this matter? Is there a reason that US got into this matter? If someone knows why US butted into this trying to be a "hero" give me a shout and let me know. - Brendan may 31/2008
