what is the difference between objective and subjective arguments in a court case?

2007-09-16 07:24:57 · 4 answers · asked by marisan f 1 in Psychology

"Abortion should be legal because when it was illegal, women and girls were having 'back alley' abortions, giving them infections that often resulted in dealth"

I hear that argument ALL THE TIME...

OK, well drugs are illegal. And there are individuals who still find a way to get high, snuff hairspray, spraypaint, etc, which often results in sickness or death.

So should drugs be legal? If you follow the pro-choice logic it appears that way...

So my point is..how is that a good pro-choice argument??

Orthodox Jews have called Madonna`s interest in the faith an abomination.

Is it and is she merely a covert spokeswoman for the PLO?

Can one really convert to become a Jew or is it a tribal thing dating back centuries?

When in New York I was privy to the situation of a Jewish girl marrying a non-Jew who converted. The mother is an Israeli who cuddles the kids and calls them `mamele`. Pretty funny when one of the kids is called `Reilly`.

It`s all got pretty mixed up. What with the current trends toward multiculturalism, orthodox Jewry doesn`t stand a chance and slippery slugs like Madonna merely reflect the slide toward Jewish obsolescence.

In terms of regression: The women of the 1960s and 70s, our mothers, etc. are a strong group of people, independent, ready to take the world by the horns. Talk to professors, feminists, psychiatrists, you can find many great women of that generation and even the ones who chose to be housewives often still have ideals.

Looking at todays girls, they are so aimless it is silly. There are some outstanding individuals, of course, but as a population? Pathetic. No ideas about life, politics, religion, education... just "getting by"

The way I see it, the feminists fought hard to get women opportunities that are just wasted by this generation. They fought for equality in education, but they didn't want you to sit around doing nothing. They fought for sexuality so you could share yourself with your lover as you saw fit and enjoy it, not so you could exploit men and be tramps with low self esteem.

How did such strong mothers and good role models end up with such useless daughters in the end?

What’s the difference between being in love with someone and being infatuated with someone? Can a person be in love with someone and infatuated with the same person? By the way, I’m not a kid. I’m a guy and I’m 25. Thanks!

Sometimes I felt like I wanted to talk to someone with all this personal issues I'm facing right now, but then I'll realize that who am I kidding, I can't do that.

I don't have a life partner, or the kind of friends that I can talk to (they don't do that with me either). I can't talk to my parents either, besides it being damn awkward, they'll never understands.

So I never really get to talk to anyone about all my problems, but I'm just wondering had I have someone I could talk to, would things be different for me?

For details, enter (Targeted Individual, TI) into your Yahoo ANSWER 'Search for question'.

Can certain effects claimed by many 100s of TIs around the world be detected, measured, and recorded. I believe they can be. Don't we, as concerned citizens of America and of the world, have an obligaton to find out the truth concerning claims made by so many human beings, TIs? I think that we do. If it is true what TIs claim about targeted effects they suffer, then don't we have a moral obligation to determine the truth of the matter and to have those that perpetrate such acts, appropriately punished? I think so. Then I challenge the mental health community to take the first step and conduct scientific based sleep studies on a group of TIs. Based upon my own research, I am confident that if carefully orchestrated, a sleep study would expose certain externaly projected energy fields that are common to most TI's, affecting both body and mind, remotely, from a far.

why are all the same mexican last names so big and widespread? I am Anglo and went to a highschool that was close to 50/50 (in Arizona)

Now its common to see multiple, say, "Smiths" or "Johnsons" etc, but there are also a ton of weird white last names that you only ever see one family with. Same for Asians or Black folks. As a "Carlson" my name is fairly bland but its still uncommon to ever meet another one, I've met 3 or 4 outside of my family amongst everyone I've met in my life

So my question is why do you see tons and tons of people named Lopez, Cardenas, Hernandez, Fernandez, Martinez, Coronado, Gonzales, Gomez, like so many Mexican people with not that many last names

If you took a yearbook from my highschool and looked at any year for anyone of those common last names, you could find like 10 kids in a row with the same last name, but they aren't even related to eachother

I am not trying to be judgmental or say that is bad or anything I just want to know why that is that way?

Can somebody please create a hero that can "fight" and provide hope against one of today's societal/political issues? Please include a superhero name and an explaination as to how your hero's powers (superhuman or regular) fight against specific parts of this societal/political issue you've chosen.

Also can somebody create a villain/monster that goes together somehow with the hero. Please include a villain name and explaination as to how your villain's traits help him attack or threaten something in society at this time... what emotions he/she/it stirs up in people and preys on (why is this considered particularly bad in our era?)

All suggestions are greatly appreciated ASAP
Thank You

I have no confidence at all and it is ruining my life and my relationship. I am a 23 year old female and have been in a relationship for 4 years. I have never had much confidence but things have got worse, i work monday til friday then spend my weekend in the flat on my own because i am too scared to go out. If i do go out then it is only to my parents house. My boyfriends asks me to do things but i always find an excuse not to. I get into moods where i scream and cry because i am so angry with myself for not being able to do these things. I am scared of everything and i am not sure how to stop doing this. My boyfriend was understanding at first but i think he is starting to resent me as i am holding him back in life and i do not know what i would do without him. I would love to do all the travelling he suggests but it scares me even when he asks me to go to the beach i say no because that scares me, i don't know why it just does. I am scared of talking to people and scared that people
