Politics, News & Issues > Government & Policies Should smoking be allowed in public places?

72 of 313

I think that the personal freedom of the smoker is just a valid as the freedom of the non-smoker. When we limit the freedoms of one group of people for the convenience of others it is freedom itself that is being violated. I am not saying that people shouldn't be respectful when they smoke and take other people wishes in to ... More..

Politics, News & Issues > Terrorism Does religion have anything to do with terrorism?

13 of 51

Yes it does. Actually religion and the lack of religion both contribute to the cause of terrorism. That is not to say that any one religion has the market cornered. Terrorism has been around for ages, this is not a new phenomena. The question though asks a very interesting point. In this era of political correctness though i... More..

Politics, News & Issues > Justice System Should former North Carolina District Attorney Michael Nifong face prison time or just fines for his falsified case against the Duke lacrosse team players?

One of the most trusted public positions should be the prosecutors. These are the individuals that are given the trust to bring charges on the citizens under which they serve. It is their job to uphold and support the law. To determine given the evidence by police if a crime is committed and to try the people involved. Whene... More..

Arts & Humanities > Marketing & Selling Writing Is Publish America a legitimate publisher?

5 of 12

There is a little doubt that they are a legitimate publisher. They may not be the best or equal to the bigger publishing houses, but they are legitimate. I have a book published with them (Passage To Dawn) and have been receiving my royalties as per the contract. I have had little to complain about them except that they do a... More..

Politics, News & Issues > Family Law Should abortion for underage children require parental consent?

25 of 52

I sit and wonder about this question and the path of morals that it leads to. The fact that questions like these are asked at all is scary. We are discussing rights of citizens and both the child and the parents. Who's right to what begins and ends where? The parent is responsible for the child's actions until the child beco... More..

Society & Lifestyle > Personal Morals & Values Honesty is the best policy

Well sometimes the oldest statements are true on the surface but we have to look at all areas of the statement. Honesty can be and is in itself very good policy and I try to tell my kids that they should never lie. That being said it is because it is better to teach them that than to teach them how to lie both politely and e... More..

7 of 13

If you mean by Terrorism you are speaking of Terrorism perpetrated by Muslims ? Then yes it will. What we have to understand and address is the difference between terrorism, non-conventional warfare and resistance to occupation.

Politics, News & Issues > International News Is the modern world filled with more fear than in time's past?

13 of 23

Absolutely not. The fears we have today are strong, and the effects wide spread. The fear of war, crime, tyranny? They still exist. We haven't even perfected them yet. All the fears of yesterday still exist today, and we have a few more to boot. Nuclear, chemical, and Biological warfare. The fear though has lessened, not inc... More..
