Politics, News & Issues > Constitutional & Contract Law Should a woman have the right to choose abortion?: 37 of 313
The abortion debate has going for too many years to count. It will continue, no matter how laws are changed, until the end of time. Women do not have the right to choose an abortion. The reasons for this are as many as the years this topic has been debated and will continue to be debated. There is, of course, the religious s... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Politics in the Middle & Near East Should Jerusalem be split between the Israelis and Palestinians?: 4 of 31
Jerusalem should not be split between the Israelis and Palestinians. There is one simple reason for this - God gave all that land to Abraham. It does not belong to any other country, people or religion. Every grain of sand that Israel gives away is a slap in the face of God. God gave that land to Abraham and all his descenda... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Family Law Should polygamy or plural marriages be legalized?: 4 of 26
Polygamy should not be legalized. Polygamy should be punished to the full extent of the law. The laws should be changed so that the punishment is truly a punishment and not just a "please don't do that again." The best argument for this is "Naomi." I do volunteer work at a local domestic violence safe house. I normally help ... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Presidential Elections 2008 US elections 2008: Michelle Obama under fire: 5 of 29
"For the time in my adult life, I am proud of America," Michelle Obama said on more than one occasion. I was taught from a young age that when you open your mouth, you take the chance of showing you ignorance. She certainly did with that statement. My grandfather fought the Nazis during World War II and lost most of his hear... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Politics in the Middle & Near East Reactions to Saddam Hussein's execution: 8 of 40
I cried. Tears ran from my eyes, trickled down my cheeks, and splashed on my shirt. I felt so sad. Deep down, deep down in those we don't want to talk about or even think about, I felt sad. This sadness gripped me in a way that almost frightened me. I was sad on so many levels and sad for so many reasons. I cried because I d... More..

Punishing child molesters is much easier to do than some might think. It is also much more economical, practical, and time saving. In fact, it is probably one of the simplest things to do. The punishment should consist of several steps. The first step in the punishment of child molesters should be letting the father/mother (... More..
Politics, News & Issues > People in the News Commentary: The displaced children of Texas polygamist sect: 3 of 8
The tragedy of bigamy, excuse me,"polygamy," has once again reared it's ugly head. It is a shame that it has come to this, but in that type of environment (sect, cult), it has come to be expected. I have yet to see any good come out of such a lifestyle. I wish that the victims of this cult knew my God. He is a loving God. He... More..

Politics, News & Issues > News (Other) Testimonies: Emergency room visits: 7 of 12
It was the worst medical experience of my life. I was taken the emergency room by my family because they felt it was truly an emergency. While there, I was forgotten by the staff. I was threatened by the staff. And, yes, I was misdiagnosed. My parents, normally calm, rushed me to the emergency room when, suddenly, I was in h... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Baseball MLB: What it's like to be a Atlanta Braves fan: 7 of 12
Being an Atlanta Braves fan is a great privilege. Although, I do not consider myself to be, simply, a fan. I call myself an "Atlanta Braves Connoisseur." A connoisseur is defined as "a person with expert understanding of artistic and similar subjects." When "my boys" are playing, it is art to me. Art that takes my breath awa... More..
