Gun Control In The United States
... How would we even begin to go about confiscating all the guns from the law abiding citizens. The law enforcement agencies of this country have stated that most firearm owners in the opublic are better armed then they are. How then, will they be able to disarm such a enormous group. If you pass a law that wiolates their interprtation of the second amendment you have left these people angry, and with no way out. They will fight. Are the gun control advocates ready to take responsibility for the hundreds if not thousands of deaths that will occur? Since the law enforcement agencies already admit to thier lack of ability to diarm these people, are they going to ord ...

Violence Against Women Act
... common welfare.
However, Congress has a clear Constitutional right to regulate
interstate commerce. This act is based solely on interstate commerce
and is thereforeConstitutional. Because of abuse, Sara Benenson was
afraid to get a job because it would anger her husband. She was afraid
to go back to school and she was afraid to go shopping or spend any
money on her own. All three of these things clearly interfere and
affect interstate commerce. Women like Mrs. Benenson are the reason
the act was passed. ...

The Seat Belt Law
... drivers who do wear belts are three times more likely to buckle up their kids. Of course, I had to wear my seat belt and sit in the back seat. I did not always do what my parents asked, but I did tend to wear my seatbelt all the time. It became habit to jump in the car and buckle up. Without a seatbelt, I feel as though I am missing something and I feel completely naked without it.
In the past fifteen years, I have, unfortunately, been a passenger in approximately ten car accidents. A few of these were significant enough to cause minor injuries. But in two specific cases, the police officer reminded the driver and myself of the luck we encountered by wearing ...

Marijuana Should Be Legal For Medicinal Reasons Only
... in using it as treatment sparked in the late 1970’s (14, p.2). Today, marijuana has a positive reputation for helping cancer patients overcome the nausea associated with chemotherapy, treating glaucoma, and in stimulating the appetite of AIDS patients (14, p.3). Studies have shown that marijuana clearly controls nausea and vomiting in many chemotherapy patients, helps AIDS patients gain weight, and greatly reduces damaging pressure in the eye caused by glaucoma (4, p.1). The fact that smoking marijuana to relieve medical distress is still illegal is alarming. If marijuana can help so many suffering victims of these ailments, then why keep it out of use? Mari ...

International Law
... in accordance with the
annexed Statute, which is based upon the Statute of the Permanent court of
International Justice and forms an integral part of the present Charter.
The commands of international law must be those that the states
impose upon themselves, as states must give consent to the commands that
they will follow. It is a direct expression of raison d'etat, the
"interests of the state", and aims to serve the state, as well as protect
the state by giving its rights and duties. This is done through treaties
and other consensual engagements which are legally binding.
The case-law of the ICJ is an important aspect of the UN's

Under Age Drinking : The Problems It Creates
... drinking can have on a person. I grew up in a town that
has the most bars per capata in the state of Montana and is in the top ten in
the United States. This has a huge effect on under age drinkers. The bars card
at the door and as long as your 18 your in. And since the bouncers will stamp
nearly anyone they know or like the number of kids is always high. It dosn't
help that Dillon is a college town and ther are many under age college kids
there. Now lets imagine another party where kids are drinking.
The bonfire is roaring, Bubba just decided that singeing everyone's
eyebrows off by throwing some gasoline on the fire would be fun. Of course
nobody thoug ...

The Death Penalty
... for several sins. Sins such as the following:
- Pre-marital sex
- Practicing a different religion
- Prostitution
- Blasphemy
- Adultery
People might as well eliminate the death penalty for murder as well. In fact, according to the Bible an individual who dies without being "saved" (during an execution) will go to Hell for eternal punishment. By killing the person, we are eliminating some individuals' chance for salvation. Human life has intrinsic value, even if a person has murdered another. Nobody should ever be killed, even by the state.
Moreover, human beings such as the poor, males, and racial minorities are over-represented among those executed. A ...

Capital Punishment Is Murder
... it, it doesn't make his actions right. To borrow and old phrase, two wrongs don't make a right. No matter what someone does to you it doesn't make it okay to do it back, right? I believe this exactly. This is the reason that I disagree with capital punishment. and nobody is justified in killing another human for what they've done in the past.
There's really no other way to say it. A murder is a murder, there are no two ways to look at it. When one human loses their life due entirely to another human, what would it be called beyond murder? Capital Punishment does just that.
These people that are on death row in the United States are criminals. There is ...

Outline: Negative Debate On Effects Of Hate Mongering
... to
assume that committing a criminal act on someone because of their race is
terrible? Is it then also reasonable to assume that committing a criminal
act on someone because they have refused your advances or simply because
they got pleasure out of hurting people is also terrible? Are you than
saying that the former case , the ones that you would call "hate crimes"
are more terrible even if the actual act is the same? You do realize that
this is what you are saying by assuming that hate crimes deserve a more
severe punishment?
Possible inherency 3. Rise in hate groups promotes violence. - People
