The Advantages Of Stupidity
Number of words: 937 | Number of pages: 4.... Yet these are all true, there are still many advantages to
stupidity.
The first advantage is very easy to understand. Stupid people are
never asked to do a lot. Many have noticed that people tend to steer away
from someone they feel may be stupid. This is for a very good reason.
The stupidity which they posses makes a name for themselves, a name which
can be very difficult to shake. Possibly, it is a word which describes
the working habits of the person, such as "crappy". Yet, this creates a
positive situation for the stupid person. They will have a lot of free
time on their hands for more of lifes truly meaningful pl .....

Gay Marriages-Acceptable To God And America?
Number of words: 1559 | Number of pages: 6.... was a bunch of stupid, homophobic morons. These days crimes targeting gay and lesbian couples are heard on the news frequently, and it sickens me that such ignorance exists in America. I grew up attending a church that viewed homosexuality as a sin, but my personal feelings would always conflict.
I believe the argument can be derived from the nature vs. nurture perspectives. Groups such as the Christian Coalition and the American Family Association (AFA) state that gays are perverted pedophiliacs that lure young, unsuspecting boys to become gay as themselves and one becomes gay by cavorting with other gays. After r .....

Traffic Jams And The World's Patience
Number of words: 1398 | Number of pages: 6.... kind of patience they have in store for themselves.
I happen to glance over at a cowboy and his father in the truck next to me. I glance over as they watch the lane to their left move. They seem to wish that it is the trailer they are pulling that is moving instead of the one with the jet-skis on it. Their trailer has a bulldozer on it, which makes me wonder if they are simply trying to move from yesterday's job, to tomorrow's duty. If this is indeed the case, then their patience is one of grace. They seem to be enjoying the radio, and each other's company, but deep inside they look bored. Their patience is one like a person .....

Child Abuse
Number of words: 1658 | Number of pages: 7.... Child Protective Services said the report was not submitted within 24 hours, so they couldn't do anything. We had another case that we reported just two weeks ago to Child Protective Services. Another five- year old was involved. The teacher noticed a bite mark on his cheek. She asked him what happened, and he responded "my dad bit me." The teacher asked him if his dad was mad when he bit him and he said he was very mad. We reported this to CPS, but were told they couldn't do anything because the skin was not broken. These instances really make me question the system we rely on to protect our children. The question is are we doin .....

The Police And Corruption
Number of words: 1393 | Number of pages: 6.... different aspects in which police are
capable of exceeding the parameters of their power and authority: police and
use of discretionary enforcement, “Police justice”, police harassment, and the
unwarranted use of police authority.
Police are allowed to and must use personal discretion in their
determination of law enforcement. Unlike a judge or lawyer a police officer can
not gather information and take time to make a prognosis to make a decision
affecting the fate of a person. He must make a quick decision based on his
discretion to determine the fate of a person.. “...a quick decision is required
to protect the inte .....

on plans. They have such a full life a schedule is necessary to fit
everything in. A couple of weeks ago I ran into an old friend, an old yet
single friend. We talked for a while, reminiscing about high school and
past boyfriends, and decided we had to get together some time soon. She
and I tried to set a lunch date, or even a dinner date. After I offered
several possible days and times she concluded that she would have to get
back with me. She had no idea what plans she had already made.
Married people often think back to their single days as being days

World Population: The Present And Future The Growth
Number of words: 881 | Number of pages: 4.... capital is controlled by a small percentage of the population and the proletariat is forced into poverty. To someone with little or no sociological background, the above paragraph has nothing to do with population as a social problem. But if you fit population into Marx's description of the capitalist system, it is more relevant than at first glance. The best way to make this point clear is to provide two hypothetical situations. Family X is a middle class family that is doing well financially and they tend to have more children than if they are not making so much money. But as the bourgeoisie gains more and more control, famili .....
