About me - ShortyGU12

I am a thinker. I'd rather contemplate about things than be sloppy about the life that I live because everything has consequences.

Politics, News & Issues > Government & Policies Should smoking be allowed in public places?
16 of 208

Should smoking be allowed in public places? If its places like restaurants, pubs, airports, airplanes, etc. No. If its outdoor places then yes, because it's airy. I live in England and they've banned smoking in public places throughout - even in pubs and for me, I'm glad! And honestly, it hasn't brought down the number of cu...

Politics, News & Issues > Political Issues Commentary: School shootings as a political issue
3 of 27

What happened in Illinois, Virginia and Ohio are all tragedies, however they were not "deranged". Only one of them (the most recent) supposedly had a mental illness. Columbine and VA Tech were done because the students were forced to be outcasts. There is no political issue at hand when it comes to these sort of cases. Just ...

Politics, News & Issues > Justice System Assessing the death penalty
12 of 97

In many countries they have capital punishment as a legal decision towards people who commit murder, genocide, and so forth. The capital punishment of America's legal system is the one in question at the moment by the other writers of Helium. Some bring in religion, statistics, and others just bring in personal views. The bi...

Politics, News & Issues > Police & Prisons If the US government restores $2 billion cut from state and local law enforcement, will crime be reduced?
1 of 6

Most of the people in an *American* prison are first time drug offenders - not homeless people committing crimes. It's not unusual for people to commit crimes in desperation however, in the U.S. there are agencies that will help people with money if they actually want the help. People in foreign countries such as Canada can'...

Society & Lifestyle > Feminism & Women's Rights The lover as rapist: An alarming trend
4 of 23

There's no doubt that a spouse could be forced to have intercourse and therefore it being rape however, if one is in a marriage then hopefully they are adult enough to communicate to each other about what they really want in a relationship. Rape - unlike someone has stated - is not about having non consenting sex, it's about...

Politics, News & Issues > Drug Laws & Prevention The case against legalizing drugs
1 of 5

There is a never ending argument about legalizing current illicit drugs - especially Marijuana. People state that it isn't dangerous and can't be linked to any health issues what so ever. Even if this were true, there are still legal issues that surround Marijuana - as in, it's illegal. Others say that legalizing current ill...

Jobs & Careers > Employment Law Should employee performance reviews be abolished?
5 of 23

An employee performance review is definitely something that should not be abolished for three professional reasons; the first is that it can affect employees in a positive manner where they can take their result(s) and try to strengthen their faults. It can help someone realise that they need a better eye for detail, to mana...

Politics, News & Issues > US Elections US Elections: Why you should not base your vote on gender or skin color
2 of 9

People stating that U.S. Elections are fair and square need their eyes opened, checked, and then sewn open. Elections *are* based on everything and anything under the sun - especially ethnicity and gender. Rev. Jessie Jackson tried running for the U.S. Presidency - did he win? No. Why? Because he's African American. Everyone...

Jobs & Careers > Employment Law Knowing what constitutes discrimination in the workplace
2 of 9

Something that a lot of EOE (Equal Opportunity Employers) agencies need to stress is that there is discrimination within work places that need to be identified. For example, if an employer from India owns their own company in the United States and most of his employees are from India as well except for one. They pay the majo...

Religion & Spirituality > Wicca & Witchcraft Reflections: Witchcraft
2 of 8

On Helium, I saw someone's article about their experience of being in the Army and being a Witch and how they have been discriminated against. I wrote to them with empathy because I too have had the experience of being discriminated against based on faith. When I was around 15 years old I became interested in Witchcraft beca...
