A woman's place is in the home
Research shows that the majority of people believe that a woman's place is in the home: looking after the children; attending to domestic duties and ensuring her husband's dinner is on the table when he comes in from work. [1] Sadly, many women these days have chosen to abandon their feminine duties and pursue careers in industry and commerce instead - and it stands to reason that their families have suffered as a result of their neglect. Meanwhile, there is mass unemployment with the resu...
Animal experimentation for the benefit of humans.
Animal experimentation should be illegal and frowned upon. It is unfortunate that many people are selfish enough to believe just because we are humans that we are the only ones that deserve to survive. Animals have a right to be treated with value. Injecting monkeys with AIDS and exposing certain other animals to toxic chemicals and radiation is unacceptable. MILLIONS of animals die each year because of experimentation. Not only because of the things that they are exposed to but because they wer...

Con I have always found that mercy bears richer fruits than strict justice, Abraham Lincoln. Because it is that I believe that it is the jobs of the juvenile Justice system to teach juveniles the wrongs of their actions and to help them grow into productive members of society I must negate the resolution: In the united states, juveniles charged with violent felonies ought to be treated as adults in the criminal justice system. Before starting my argument I would like to offer a few definit...
Flag Burning
Maybe you won't cop out of this one!! The American flag stands for everything we believe in and everything that soldiers long gone have fought for. No, they did not just die for the material that the flag is made out of, but rather laid down their lives for their country and what they thought was right. Haven't they been disgraced enough over the years, why is it so hard to have some respect.The State of Arkansas imposes a fine of up to $1,000 and a jail term up to one year on those convicted of...

Gay Marriage Should Be Allowed
I belive gay marriage should be alllowed for simple reasons. I myself am a heterosexual man, but I believe that every person has the right to live their lives as they see fit. Not allowing gay marriage is effectively infringing upon other people's lives, and not allowing them to be with the sex that brings them fullfillment. I understand that the Bible condemns homosexuality. Understand though, that the Bible was written when the Romans and Greeks, famous for their horrible sexual practices w...
