.... that we have to express ourselves as >backed by the Bill of Rights. They edit radio broadcasts, place “black-bars” over televised images, and even try to refine works of literature so that they meet certain “standards.” As US citizens, we should be appalled that such practices are allowed. Not only are we deprived of rights, be we are denied wants. If I want to go home and turn on my TV to see a woman sans clothes and hear frequent vulgarities, then by all means I as a citizen of this free country should be allowed. The majority of us want to view things deemed “degenerate” or “depraved.” This is why a FOX broa .....

.... "pot", "buds", "reefer", "weed" or the more direct, "smoke". Marijuana goes back over five thousand years. It is one of the oldest agricultural commodities not grown for food. Hemp, first cultivated in China as early as 2800 B.C., soon stretched to central Asia where it spread like milkweed or thistle. Marijuana soon began to crowd out neighboring grasses and reaching heights of three to twenty feet stretched over large plains. Local people began to use the plant for its strong, durable fibers which they used for rope and to construct material similar to linen. Early in the Christian Era, Marijuana reached the Mediterran .....

.... cannot be given another chance. A prisoner discovered to be blameless can be freed: but neither release nor compensation is possible for a corpse" (1). How can anyone be so inhumane that they, the jury, take someone else's life into their own hands to say whether or not they should die? There are people out there that take people's lives, but a jury should not decide the life of a human being. There is too much room for error in a death penalty trial. People fell sorry for someone who has been wrongfully robbed of a loved one. What if the person on trial was not the person who committed the crime? "According to the 1987 Stan .....

.... The world is filled with obscene things. And it would seem that parents are just trying to protect their children from the outside world. But does it really help? My friends sister was upset with her parents for raising her in such a sheltered environment. When she went away to college, she got a taste of what the real world was really like. These days, an average elementary school student knows many things. They are influenced by a wide range of sources, from television and other forms of media, their environment at home and school, to their personality and background. What they read does not necessarily mean that they wi .....

.... isn't necessary. In addition to this, many doctors have stated that marijuana gives the athlete a disadvantage over others because it could make that athlete tired, or weak. Rebagliati's urine test showed trace amounts of marijuana. Doctors say that it is very possible that one could inhale this small amount, strictly from being in the same room as other people who were smoking it. Ross Rebagliati told the press that he had not smoked marijuana since last April, 9 months before the Olympics, and the last time he come in contact with the drug, was at a party about a week before the Olympics, where others were smoki .....

.... A section speaking of personal injury states that penalties were imposed for injuries received during an unsuccessful operation by a doctor and damages caused by neglect in other trades. Rates were fixed in the code for a variety of services in trade and commerce. Hammurabi’s Code had no laws dealt with religion. The basis of criminal law is for equal retaliation that is comparable to “an eye for an eye”. It offers protection to all classes in Babylonian society; it looks to protect the weak and poor, which includes women, children and slaves against injustice from the rich and powerful. The code is humane for it .....

.... be setup between the child in question overseas, and the Australian courts. The changes stated above were required to not only protect abused children residing overseas, but to prove that the Australian Government is in touch with the community values within Australian cities. The amendments made to the law were needed because of the shameful amount of Australians indulging in sex practices with minors in countries other than Australia. Before the law was amended the general feeling among those involved in the process was that the Child Sex Tourism Act would have to carry severe penalties with it. The reason for such hefty pen .....

.... far should our government go with these laws? You want to make the nation a safe place to live, but you also need to abide by the Constitution, which is the basis of our nation. As you can probably expect, there are many arguments on the pro side that are sound and quite relevant. Many of them are merely statistics that will help you see why many citizens demand a more staunch form of gun control. The first area of this pro argument is the number of guns that are available in this country. As of 1992, there were around 212 million firearms available for sale or that were owned by citizens of this country. This total inclu .....

.... as arson, assault, breach of the peace, burglary, kidnapping, larceny, murder, rape, and robbery. The second group includes crimes of a “rapidly growing urban society.” These crimes include violations of income tax laws, liquor control regulations, pure food and drug laws, and traffic laws. Crimes in the first group usually involve severe punishments while crimes in the second group are generally punished by fines, notices to follow the court's orders, or other relatively light penalties. Crimes are frequently classified according to their seriousness as felonies or misdemeanors. Generally, felonies are more serious than m .....

.... result? Have we not learned our lesson from Prohibition? It only took us a mere 14 years to repeal prohibition (Lewis A15). Why don’t we legalize narcotics? I do not know what will happen if we try this; nobody does. It has never been tried in America. It has been tried in other countries. One of the countries that have experimented with legalization is Switzerland. In an effort to reduce the number of HIV infected individuals, Switzerland conducted an experiment from 1992 to 1996 in which the government controlled heroin, methadone, and morphine. Before this experiment, in one of the cities of Switzerland, the drug user .....
