My husband and I are beginning school at Brigham Young University. They have a very strict Honor Code that all students must sign and agree to follow before being admitted. The Honor Code basically states that all students must live a Mormon lifestyle while attending the school.

You can see the honor code here:
http://honorcode.byu.edu/index.php?option=com_ezine&Itemid=4613

We have signed the Honor Code and have no problem with abiding by it's rules.

Our personal belief is that if the school is private, they have every right to set specific guidelines for their students public and private lives. As long as the students are told up front the rules and are required to sign a contract stating they will obey the rules, we feel there is no problem.

I am wondering what others think. Should private universities such as BYU, Notre Dame and others be allowed to set such guidelines? What about private high schools or grade schools?

who just happens to be this skinny, petite, little girl. I mean this guy had to be about 4 times her size. The beating happened because she wouldn't serve him anymore alcohol. What do you think his punishment should be?

If so, how far along do you think they are, what is the probability of it actually occurring, and what do you think the results will be?

(The Economist, Feb 3rd)
"You've never had it so good
A 14 page special report on Britain"

I waited months for that report, and found that although a lot of people are not doing well, on the whole Britain has never been better. Inequality is terrible, I don't know if worse than the tories got it. I don't think New Labour have put hundreds of thousands out of their home, like the thatcher government.

So why is there no good publicity for them? The article had a lot of praise. Is the popular press all conspiring in favour of Thatcher and the tories? Blair has kept in power under nothing but criticism and biased news presenters. I don't really like him but Thatcher's reign wasn't as credible.

The Alvin Ailey company had just recently flew in from New York and today they attracted media. My friends and I tried to get their attention but they only focused on one of my friends. Me and my other friend are both asian. My friend that attracted media is jewish. When a reporter from channel 5 came to interview our dance group he said that he only wanted to talk to my jewish friend. Then when he was finished he asked who wanted to be interviewed next out of our small group. And only me and my other friend raised our hands. Then the guy just went on to this other girl that was in our group even when she didnt want to get interviewed! she turned him down and he went on to another group. I had notice that all the journalists and reporters had only wanted to interview the american and mexican kids in our class. Doesnt this sound rascist?

After news of his wife getting cancer, this time in the bones. This is one of the worst kinds to get. Do you think it's right for him to run for president anyway.

I did. He pretended to be a recently home veteran of the Iraq War, and then (allegedly) stole my credit cards and car. He's dangerous, and probably in the area of Edmonton, AB. Have you had contact with him? Tell us about it! Perhaps the authortities will finally do something to put him back in jail.

Animal rights Activists are calling for this young endangerd Polar Bear cub, named Knut, to be put down. Do you agree with their reasoning? (Copy/paste links to read the Daily Mirror article and the Yahoo!News Video)

I'm fully for keeping this young creature alive. there is nothing wrong with it's health, and it has EVERY right to live a full and potentially prosperous life

My friend saw the live broadcast about her cancer and John Edwards said he hit his wife?? I assume it had to be some kind of joke - but can not find anything in the rebroadcasts... who saw this?

It appears as if they have cut it out of anything playing online now. I find the statment odd to begin with, but find it even odder that it is cut out now. Have to wonder what else we don't see in our evening "sound bites".

I'm sick of this site called www.votefortheworst.com; it's the main reason Sanjaya is still there and I want him gone! The only problem is that it's backed by Howard Stern.

I am wondering what is the current situation in China and health care.

is it expensive or something?

I heard a rumor that prices are so high that people will commit suicide instead of paying for doctors bc they can not afford it.

(this info coming from the article on the urine-tea scandle. Doctors saying their urine was infected so that they woulkd have to buy drugs, even though it was actually TEA, obviously not infected)

Television ratings have been designed to assist parents/guardians in determining which shows may be inappropriate for children. What are the limitations of the current television ratings? Why are they inadequate (or adequate, depending on your perspective)? How might ratings alter television content?

Many critics point out that television often presents violent, sexual, or graphic content. However, we can probably say this about many mediums (music, movies, etc). Why does television face so much controversy? what makes television different from a violent movie we see in the theater, or a song we choose to download off the Internet and listen to?
