For years, capital punishment has been a controversial issue in our society. Many arguments can be made in favor and against it. It ultimately, however, comes down to personal beliefs and opinions. Personally, I feel that the death penalty is a very serious punishment, and should be used very car

Ectasy
Drugs are a ridiculous way to handle all kinds of things. A recent Teen Magazine survey noted that: 86% of respondents had tried drugs before, 77% of whom are under 16. 63% have tried marijuana, 16% have taken a trip, and 32% have no worries about drugs. That is pretty heavy. The top 3 reasons for t

Sex, Erotica, nude women, three some, these are some keywords for finding pornography

on the internet. The

censorship of pornography has a positive affect on the United States of America and is a

good thing because

pornography leads to crime, pornography has no positive affects on society, and censoring

against the law ( 179). Pornography was found to have little redeeming social value by

artistic criteria and is

close to worth less ( 218). The censoring of pornography is not against the United States

Constitution. The

reason why pornography is not included under the constitution is because it was

demeaned by the United States

Supreme court in 1973 to be lewd and obscene material ( 173). The first amendment was

intended to protect

political speech in America not the speech that includes the exploiting of women and

photography of women

being raped ( 183). The founding fathers did not intend for their bill of rights to be
