In my social studies class we are discussing "how much control should the government have over limiting our right to freedom of speech, what limits should be set?"
i was just wondering what other people's opinion on this were? do you think the government should have the power to censor the media or ban certain things from being said? Or do you think society would benefit from having books and various other things, even what people are allowed to say, being banned just because a few people find it offensive?

anyways i was just curious as to what other people thought. i hope i explained my question well enough.

Because the former is nothing without the latter. Simplistic, I know - but perhaps there is something to it?

Is it strictly for voting in primaries or is there anything else to it. Perhaps I don't like the way the GOP is headed--should I register in that party so that I could have the chance to fix it.

I keep getting harrassed by this company looking for my brother in law. They call the house sometimes up to six times a day looking for him, I tell them he doesn't live here and he has no phone. But still an hour later they are calling again. When I told them that I couldn't give him the message the woman called me rude and I didn't have no right talking to her like that. It is frustrating because when I tried to make them leave me alone I was treated like garbage and I personally have great credit. My husband doesn't want to change the phone number but I am afraid I am going to have to anyway. Is there something else that we can do about this?

Personally, I think Bush is a horrible president. But that's just my two cents.

My 6 wks of maternity leave are nearly over, but I need more time before I go back. My union steward told me I don't have the 1250 hours worked that's required to take the leave. I can't go back, I work the night shift and still haven't been able to find childcare in my area that stays open late. Also, I want my new daughter to be older than just 6 weeks before I leave her in childcare. I don't have the seniority to go to the day shift. Are there any other options? Do I have rights to reapply for hire if I'm fired?

There are people who think homosexual acts are immoral, and there are people who don't think that they are. That's fine, people can disagree. But why does the debate have to become so hateful from both sides? Is it so hard to put yourself in the other person's shoes and try to examine their argument from their perspective? I can understand why someone might think that it is not immoral, but I disagree, that's all. It's like drug control. Some people think marijuana use should be illegal except in rare medical cases (using pills, not cigarette smoke), and some people simply don't think drug abuse is immoral. Some people think polygamy is immoral, and some people think that it is perfectly acceptable, because the people involved are all consenting adults. Others believe that just because something is voluntary that does not make it ethical or moral.

No matter where you stand, is it possible to debate the other side without using ad hominem attacks like "sinner" and "homophobe"?

so many people on here talk about the attacks of 9/11 being carried out by our government like it's actual fact? I can't believe there are people who would continue to live in a country they believe to be capable of such an act. Sheep being led to slaughter....God help us all if they take control of this country.

I asked this question but it must have come out wrong as the answers did not address the question – I will tray again!
Does sexual harassment, discrimination or abuse based on sex, age, religion, origin, etc. have to be proven in order to support a charge of a Hostile working environment? I am under the impression showing continued and significant harassment or undue intimidation resulting in degraded performance and subsequent loss of pay is also considered hostile work place. Right or wrong?

He has almost completed his training and will be done at the end of October... We have a daughter that will be 7 months old on the 20th of this month. He joined when she was 4 months old. I'm starting to wonder if we thought about this as much as we should have? What in the world will we do if he gets sent to Iraq? I have been so sad lately, and after visiting him at his basic training graduation everything seemed so much more real that it had before. I just don't know what to think. I pray every day that this will never have to happen to us. I can't imagine what other families with the mothers or fathers deployed are going through. How do I cope with this anxiety? How should we mentally prepare ourselves? If he does get sent over, would it be stupid to think about getting pregnant again before he goes? I'm just so upset, I don't know what I would do if this ever happened, and especially if anything ever happened to him... A lot of people are gone for a whole year...

I heard there was a furnal somewhere in Afghanistan. With a whole bunch of Taliban leaders attending. The military made a decission not to shot them. Heck, I think that was a mistake. They wouldn't take the opposites with us, if our American military leaders where at a furnal site. They would kill us. How do you feel about this?

Anyone know where I can find the "George Bush and Little Richard Address The Nation" clip online? It was on the Daily Show with Jon Stewart the other night and it's unbeliveably funny. I checked comedycentral.com but the clips they have from that night are all of Bush with no Little Richard. I don't need to download it, just a link is fine (although a download is better). Thanks in advance!
