When it comes to the pro-choice-pro-life debate, there are several valid arguments on both sides. Whether you support pro-choice or pro-life isn’t the issue I wish to address; it’s more of a logical analysis of laws that contradict each other. Above and beyond every argument that supports pro-choice, the driving force behind Roe vs. Wade was the premise that a woman has the right to make her own decisions when it comes to her body; it was primarily a rights issue. So, given this assertion, why can a woman legally abort her unborn child, but if she has sex with someone for money, she gets arrested? Isn’t it her body? Isn’t she entitled to do whatever she chooses to do with it? Is consensual sex between a man and woman a greater moral offense than having an abortion? If it’s legal for a woman to abort her child, how can our lawmakers justify arresting her if she has sex for money? It’s her body, isn’t it?

Ilove how there are some people out there that believe that cops are the most evil thing on the face of the earth besides politicans. I see that if the officer does something to a person that just shot, ran over, stole from, or any other crime that they may have committeds, the public will be hounding the officer and second quessing every sec of movement that the officer did. Example is when an officer shots a male that had just shot into a crowd, the public wants to know why the officer did so and if the officer couldn't have shot a certain area of the offender. This will play in the media for weeks and all sorts of human rights people come out. Same offender shot s a police officer and no one cares and the media airs the news for 3-4 days. ARE WE NOT WORTH THE SAME????

The United States has become a world power, controlling most major decisions made internationally. With the 2008 elections approaching, should the effected countries, especially countries that have been recently invaded by the United States, have a say in choosing the next president?

We have been living in a property for 7 months now and our shorthold tenancy has just switched to 'month to month'. (it was for 6 months)
do they have to give 1 month, or two months notice? also can they come and change the locks while we are still living in it?
we have not broken the agreement, we have been good tenants, the only reason we are being kicked out is because my partner has had an operation recently and is still recovering, so he is on incapacity for a few months untill he can walk again. she classed this as dss and said we had to leave. even though i'm still working full time and the rent is always paid on time and in full.
thanks for the help X

Ive always worked in the background but recently Ive been asked to run for a local office that id likely win but I am an EXTREME introvert but have just done a good job of hiding it. I was invited to a political function(which Ive been trying to avoid) and found it hard to strike a conversation and quite frankly came off like a dufus. I didnt think it was obvious but the next day I got a call by one of my friends/financial backers that I came off as shy and standoffish:'( He also said that hes trying his best to keep his people from pulling the plug on me because of it. I dont have a problem talking to a crowd of people or fullfilling my duties. My biggest problem is part of politics people dont see like going to all the functions, parties, fundraisers, etc. If I dont go I could get ostrizised from party leadership and be seen as not loyal. Being a lawmaker is my dream job But is this lifestyle something an introvert can live?

Neoconservative hawks who championed the invasion of Iraq are leading a new campaign to persuade state and local governments, as well as other institutional investors, to "divest" their holdings in foreign companies and U.S. overseas subsidiaries doing business in Iran. they call their divestment strategy the "nonviolent tool for countering the Iranian threat." The initiative, is also backed by major pro-Israel and Jewish groups, including the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, the American Jewish Committee, the Anti-Defamation League, and local Jewish Community Relations Councils whose membership is worried that Israel will be threatened by a nuclear-armed Iran. Potentially at stake are billions of dollars controlled by state pension funds and other institutional investors that have invested money in companies – based mostly in Europe and Asia – operating in Iran. New York pension funds alone own nearly one billion dollars of stock in three Fortune 500 companies tied to Iran.

Truth seekers of 911 are asking us who understand critical thinking, to research on our own before blindly falling into line by simply accepting what the U.S. Government says about 911 just because we are Americans and must trust our government. Blind faith? Do they deserve it? If presented with two choices; the governments 911 Commission Report or the many Americans who have educated themselves and come armed with facts-- If you are truly a person who values critical thinking; then you would at least consider the possibility that the 911 Commission's report is not actually credible, but that means you would have to read it. Did you read it? Remember, not based on anything other than reading the 911 report, do you honestly think it's 100% accurate? Do you think there may be errors in it? Is it possible that our government made some huge errors that fateful day? After reading the 911 report, is it possible that the report is wrong? What's odds that it is 100% accurate?
