The distinction is important. Attorneys seeking to overturn a provision of the new law banning convicted sex offenders from living within 1,000 feet of a school bus stop argued that it’s virtually impossible for sex offenders to live anywhere in Georgia that doesn’t violate the law. Witnesses at the hearing testified that sex offenders could no longer reside in DeKalb County, and in much of the rest of the state, where there may be as many as 350,000 school bus stops, the attorneys said.


If true, the new law amounts to banishment, which would make it unconstitutional.

What to you think of the RJ Reynolds TV ads that tell adults to talk to their kids about not smoking?

At some point in time, all current smokers will be dead - trust me on this. Does it make sense that a big tobacco company would say 'future market share, don't buy our product'?

Of course not.

By the way, outside of the US, advertising regulations are much more lax. The tobacco companies are doing a very effective job targeting teens (especially young women) in Europe and Asia.

If one child is spared by a 'don't smoke' message, then the campaign is worthwhile. But it isn't about that.

It's about a megacompany wrapping the cloak of good corporate citizen around themselves (to comply with US ad laws) while exploiting the same (and bigger) audiences in foreign countries.

Is anyone outraged by this spin?

He claims that our country needs to respect "morals", but that is so subjective it's not even funny. Everyone has different morals. Personally, my morals say that potentially saving millions of lives is worth the use of one aborted baby. Feel free to yell at me, conservatives, but I'm radically pro-choice. Our country isn't Christian. Religion created these lame, so-called 'morals', and President Bush expects our whole country to follow them. It seems to me as though President Bush is defying everything that our country was founded on-- the freedom of practicing whatever religion-- if any, that you want. I mean, if the conservatives are so against it, then fine-- but I'm sure that they would be the firsts in line to get the medicine or treatments that are discovered using stem-cell research. I think that our country needs to realize what 'morals' are, and figure out that we don't need to 'respect' them if we don't believe in what they were founded on.
In conclusion, I dislike Bush.

After vetoing a bill to allow life-saving technology purely for his own religious reasons, he then made a speech about it in a room with some babies. He made some comment like "these boys and girls remind us that we all start out as a small collection of cells". I think it was a disgusting stunt that unfortunately most of the American public will not be able to see through. Some of those babies may grow up to suffer from some of the diseases that the vetoed bill could've helped to cure. Or their parents or grandparents might end up with the diseases.

An embryo is NOT a human life. It is a few cells. You could kill more cells by simply scratching your skin with your fingernails. I think the religious freaks need to take a look at how selfish they are being. Who are they to tell people they can't have a cure, just because it offends them?

Both Hizbollah and the palestinians kidnapped israeli soldiers and then cried when the insraeli's fought for its citizens. The arabs go and put their missles and leaders in residential houses and then complain that they are the victim because civilians were killed. If they truly cared they would separate themselves from innocent civilians. If israel would have layed back and been inactive upon having their soldier's captured this would have been just one of many kidnappings. Israel had to send a message that its citizens are important and any actions against them will not be tolerated. As far as the attacks being disproportionate, how can you expect a country to say oh they kidnapped two of our people so lets only kidnap two of theirs? They need to defeat hizbollah and the palestinians before true peace can start to flourish.

Is affirmative action in today's colleges and universities admissions policies fair? Does admitting less-qualified minorites comprimise educational standards? If so, should minorities be denied the chance of higher education?

Can someone explain to me what is meant by that argument against homosexual marriage, that "redefining" marriage would be "redefining it out of existence"? What does that mean? How do you redefine something out of existence? I'm not saying I feel one way or the other, it's just that I keep hearing people use that phrase when they talk about how gay marriage shouldn't be legal, but I have no idea what that means. Can someone explain?

Again, I'm just asking, not taking either side... so don't label me a liberal, conservative, Christian, athiest or whatever. Just curious.

To veto a bill just because he does not agree with it morally and 78% of American's DO agree, makes no sense to me. He is surposed to represent the American people not his own moral issues.
