If safety is such a factor in wearing a seatbelt then why not apply the same logic to abortion. If personal rights are a factor in keeping abortions legal then why not apply to that logic to the right to choose wearing a seatbelt or even a motorcycle helmet.

various possible scenarios

1) i see that thieves entering my neighbor's home [who has gone to a party with his family] and i ignore it and quietly start watching tv and let the theft happen

2) if while entering a subway, i see that a young girl is being molested there by 2 big men, and i quietly flee from there, thinking that if i try to do something maybe i myself will get beating [or maybe injury] at hands of those 2 men

3) i see my brother picking pocket of someone while we both were in a crowded market, and i remain quiet with the thought that let him steal, its good for him that he gets free money [thinking that his good is of course my good]

i want to analyse my inaction from 2 perspectives- my 'presumed inability' to affect the outcome of an event in progress, and secondly, my 'deliberate indifference' about something happening. do these 2 perspectives make a difference to my inaction being a crime or not

If this is true, then why are some churches allowed to keep their tax-exempt status while they continue this discriminatory practice?

in N.Y recently i guess, there cant be more than 5 people under 21 in a class, so if some one made that decision to drop out and want to regain there prosperitys shouldnt they have the option of getting one and not have to be held back more, Some senaters have a G.E.D what if they had to wait longer? and on most forms G.E.D and H.S diploma are together and dont mean anything, my girl decided what she wanted to get into after she dropped out and should be able to earn that if she wanted 2 with out being restricted, every kid doent want to go to school at some point but we have our parents to make us, and 2 understand why but her father was lack luster toward her than 2 her brother, but now shes making her own choices and finding dead ends, yes iit will discourage drop outs but should they be giving the oppurtunity to rebound?

I'm an IT Contract & I'm aware of the unsecure nature of the work.However I was recently offered a contract by an organisation & my agency & myself signed all the relevant contracts.I assume the contract is between the agency & myself. The organisation who I would be working at then pulled out & the job fell through.This is after I turned down work elsewhere.Do I have any form of case to take the organisation due to employ me to court? Or is the fact I was going through an agency something that means I have no recourse?

Basically can I sue them for earnings I should have earned? And lost income through other work?

If so, why didn't those liars that you voted for, do something about those issues when they had full control of the government for six years

No attempt to ban gay marriage and only a ban on late term abortion with exceptions.

They had the ultimate opportunity to give you what they promised and thumbed their noses at you.

I believe that if they come here for a better life and integrate then such is life. What I object to, is many of them coming here for a better life and making ours worse. I believe that any who commit any crime here, whatever, should be sent back to their own country after serving their sentence. This is regardless of the type of government in power in their home country. Why should we continue to accept these misfits causing us havoc. Perhaps the threat of return will stop some committing crime, but at least if it doesn't then we can "get rid" of those caught. Why should I have my human rights reduced in order that theirs are increased. Lets stop this criminal behaviour from those immigrants who think that they can continue the violence and crime epidemic in their own country. Lets stop being a soft touch to those who want to take without giving.

Think about it, not many get away with it and for those who do well they are in a way stuck with a guilty conscience? Do criminals have a conscience these days or am I just being naive.

I'd like to hear different point of views about whether or not crime pays. Is it worth commiting a crime?
If there are any statistics to prove your theory then please post them!

we're sure taught a lot about HIV and AIDS. by eight grade, we've seen so many videos and guest lecturers, it's just like white noise to us. "yes you can get it the first time you have sex. no, you can't get it from toilette seats, drinking fountains, or everyday casual contact..."

did you know that if you come into contact with a risky situation, there is a seriese of shots you can get immediately thereafter that will nearly eliminate your chances of contracting the virus? i had no idea of this until my mom, a doctor, told me. this is appearantly a need health care professionals run into fron time to time from treating people--accidentally sticking themselves with a used syringe, etc. when it happens, they get these shots.

why don't we know about them? or was it just me? my thought is: these shots are terribly expensive, and if the knowledge were made widely available, the public would demand that they be administered without charge in an effort to control disease.

many people do not realize that some forms of birth control, i.e., the i.u.d. (i'm not sure but it may only be one of the two models) and the progesterine-only birth control pill, are not contraceptives, but abortificients. meaning, they do not prevent pregnancy: they work by expelling fertilized eggs. this isn't about abortion: it is about our right to know this. women are being given these forms of birth control and not being told this is actually what they do. regardless of her beliefs on abortion, is it healthy for a woman's body to routinely fertilize and sterilize eggs??
