The Government should do more to promote Jewish businesses.
Jewish businessmen are renowned for prioritising good value for money and providing excellent customer service over making profits, but, unfortunately, this unselfish commitment to public service means that the Jewish business community is missing out on extra cash. I'm sure that if they advertised the fact their stores were Jewish owned, the public would make a point of favouring them with their custom more often. The trouble is, as well as not caring about money, Jewish businessmen are very mo...
The war in Afghanistan can be won
My position on this topic of debate is that the American war in Afghanistan CANNOT be won. I'm just going to provide some background information on the issue: The United States military invaded Afghanistan after the terrorist attack on 9/11. Concluding that the attack was by Al Qaeda, the United States government immediately sought to punish the criminals by any means possible. Understanding that Al Qaeda was protected by the extremist Taliban faction, the Bush administration demanded that th...
The F.D.A. should not ban flavored Tobacco
Hello before i begin id like to start by saying it's weird to be back after almost a year of absence from my old username "the_conservative". Apparently i wa pretty controversial haha, but let's begin. As we all know a little while back our President Barack Hussein Obama signed legislation giving the Food and Drug Administration power to regulate the manufacturing, marketing and sale of tobacco, which can give them power to ban flavored Dip such as "Skoal Apple" or Chew such as "Beechnut Moon...

We must resist the attempts of gay activists to restrict our freedom of expression
Today, under intense pressure from the House of Lords, the British Government finally backed down and agreed to retain the "freedom of expression" clause in new legislation intended to prevent criticism of homosexuality. It was a very close call though and the only reason the Government did not use the Parliament Act to force the legislation through was because tomorrow marks the end of the current Parliamentary Session. Nevertheless, they intend to impose these new restrictions on our fre...
Failed Nations are a greater threat to the US than stable nations
I stand here in the firmest affirmation that failed nations are a greater threat to the U.S. than stable nations. First I'd like to define some key terms. According to the 2009 fund for peace a failing nation has charicteristics such as -loss of physical control of its own territory -inability to make collective decisions -inability to provide reasonable public services -extensive corruption -un even development -demographic pressures and many more A stable nation is not the exac...
Obama is pushing for longer school hours for children each year.
President Obama is trying to push for longer school days and shorter summer vacations, he believes that American students are at a disadvantage compared to other kids around the world due to less time spent in the classroom. I, however, think this to be a terrible idea. (1) We all know that the U.S. is in a lot of debt right now, how can we afford to pay an extra $1,300 per student each year. This figure was pulled from a Massachusetts program that tried out this new schooling, it added up to...
Democracy is a Violent Religion.
I believe that democracy is a violent religion. Reasons: 1) People who believe and advocate democracy believe in the constitution that gives them there "rights". 2) They believe that democracy is the only acceptable form of social organization. 3) Claim that democracy is synonymous with freedom 4) That states are justified and is the "will of the people" 5) That people control the state 6) Democracy maintains it's ideology through ignorance and scorns people who questions it's legitimac...
Gay marriage should be legal in the United States.
I will be using a dual overlaying teleological/constitutional argument to contend that gay marriage should be legalized in the United States. In this project I will borrow the harm principle, as articulated by John Stewart Mill, to argue that the only reasonable circumstance in which a government can limit a citizen's liberty is to prevent that person from causing harm to others. This view when taken to its logical conclusion would entail the legalization of gay marriage. Contention 1:...
