Conscription In Canada
... were being pushed and compressed tightly into their province by the thoughtlessness of the English Canadians. " How could French Canadiens - the only real Candaians - feel loyal to a people who had conquered and humiliated them, and were Protestant anayway ? France herself was no better ; she had deserted her Canadians a century and a half ago, had left them in the snow and ice along the St. Lawernce surrounded by their enemies, had later murdered her anoited king and turned athiest... if a people deserted God they were punished for it, and France was being punished now. " 1This sort of sentiment was one that was shared by many French Candiens. French-English rela ...

Body Images In The Media

“perfect” female images leads girls trying to defeat their imperfections into their adult life. Parental messages about appearance also have large impacts on young girls. In the Second Edition of Feminist Issues, Susan A. McDaniel comments: “For the female child, to be assessed as ‘pretty’ or ‘beautiful’ is the highest accolade, one that usually makes her parents proud…To be pretty is to be approved of, liked and rewarded.” She also mentions that in “infancy, females are judged by standards of ‘cuteness’ and ‘prettiness’ and this shifts with age into standards of ‘beauty’ and ‘glamour.” Parents of newborn babies tend to emphasise appearance mor ...

Capital Punishment
... would be killers. A person is less likely to do something, if he or she thinks that harm will come to him. Another way the death penalty deters murder, is the fact that if the killer is dead, he will not be able to kill again. Most supporters of the death penalty feel that offenders should be punished for their crimes, and that it does not matter whether it will deter the crime rate. Supporters of the death penalty are in favour of making examples out of offenders, and that the threat of death will be enough to deter the crime rate, but the crime rate is irrelevant.
According to Isaac Ehrlich's study, published on April 16, 1976, eight murders are deterred for e ...

are the products of representative democracy. During the centuries when laws were made by kings and their advisers, parties could not exist because there were no elected officials. Parties began to emerge in Europe and North America in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, when elected legislatures became a dominant force in government.
In the earliest decades in which existed, their memberships were quite small. In the United States and England, for example, most citizens were not ...

In Cold Blood - Death Penalty
... to kill anyone; . The right to reject life imprisonment and choose death should be respected, but it changes nothing for those who oppose the death at the hands of the state.
The death penalty is irrational- a fact that should carry considerable weight with rationalists. As Albert Camus pointed out, " Capital punishment....has always been a religious punishment and is reconcilable with humanism." In other words, society has long since left behind the archaic and barbous" customs" from the cruel "eye for an eye" anti-human caves of religion- another factor that should raise immediate misgivings for freethinkers.
State killings are morally bankrupt. Why do governm ...

Censorship And The First Amendment: The American Citizen's Right To Free Speech
... today. The founders of the United States government tried to protect
this liberty by assuring a free press, to gather and publish information
without being under control or power of another, in the First Amendment to
the Constitution. So why do we need to be concerned if we, as citizens,
have been properly protected under the constitution? Our concerns occur,
on account of special interest groups that are fighting to change the
freedom of expression, the right to freely represent individual thoughts,
feelings, and views, in order to protect their families as well as others.
These groups, religious or otherwise, believe that publishing unorthodox
material is an ...

Should Cloning Be Permitted?
... benefits, including the development of new treatments for cystic fibrosis, other diseases and the ability to create animal with normal compatible organs for transplant. (1."Should Congress Prohibit All Human Cloning Experimentation",Pg 34). From my opinion, I believe that human cloning is just a huge step towards negativism in human life's, rather than simply being the next step in fertility technology. There might be a possibility that human cloning research may result in the discovery of a cure for diseases and the growing of human organs, but the disadvantages are that many years as well as money may be need it. Also several experts told the committee that clon ...

Problems In Air Traffic Control And Proposed Solutions
... All radar screens went dark and all radios went silent. It took 45
minutes to restore radios and bring up a backup radar system. It was more than
an hour before the main radar presentations came on line.
One controller described the sudden quiet in the control suite as "the
loudest silence I've ever heard" (UPI , 1995). He went on to say there was
"panic on everybody's face" as they realized they had been rendered deaf, dumb,
and blind by this catastrophic equipment failure. It took a few minutes for
controllers to realize the shut-down had affected the entire facility. There was
no book procedure to cover this emergency scenario, so most controllers
improvise ...

Both Sides Of The Abortion Deb
... 5).
In the United States about 1.6 million pregnancies end in
abortion. Women with incomes under eleven thousand are over three
times more likely to abort than those with incomes above twenty-five
thousand. Unmarried women are four to five times more likely to abort
than married and the abortion rate has doubled for 18 and 19 year
olds. Recently the U.S. rate dropped 6 percent overall but the rate of
abortion among girls younger than 15 jumped 18 percent. The rate among
minority teens climbed from 186 per 1,000 to 189 per 1,000.
The most popular procedure involved in abortions is the vacuum

Homosexuality Is Wrong
... of my roof." The homosexuals rejected the two virgins. Gang raping two virgins was considered less of an offense than a homosexual act. Lot was willing to sacrifice his own daughters to turn them around, but he did NOT accept homosexuality. Lot and his family escaped and the city of Sodom was destroyed by God the next day.
Leviticus 18:22
Thou shall not lie with a man as with a woman; it is an abomination.
The act of homosexuality can easily be compared to having sex with animals.
Leviticus 20:13
If a man lies with a male as if he were a woman, both men have committed an offense (something perverse, unnatural, abhorrent, and detestable); they sh ...
