Osaka, Nagoya, Tokyo and Seoul 3.) 11 years 4.) 10.46 yards per play 5.) 27 Long Response  1.) since we live in the suburbs of Austin, we do not see any homeless people in the area. I do know that the homeless population is increasing downtown but I have not been able to really sea it, only on the news. 2.) In my opinion I do not think that we should have stricter rules on the homeless camping in parks. At the end of the day we are all human and should be helping each other. Instead of a conversation like this one where they are talking against people, they should have a conversation on how to actually help people. 3.) I do nor think there really is one answer. Who are w to decide where they are going to be and how they should live. We should have a conversation with them and no just decide where someone is going to go without them even there to help them make the decision. 4.) For one I think we should be serving each other and it's not all u...

Mass shootings around the country have left congressional republicans waiting for he White House to find out what they are going to do about the situation. Many are waiting for President Donald Trump to decide the legislative response to the shootings. 2. The "red flag law" allows guns to be taken from people who pose harm to themselves or others. 3.
