Trooper Tickets Woman In Labor

(The story officially starts at 1:43)

It's moments like these that make you question Police power, but shouldn't we really be questioning Police training and abilities instead of their power? When you consider what Officers deal with on a daily basis, was the Trooper really wrong asking her to open her jacket to confirm her pregnancy?

Abortion

That is the real question! When does it begin? And who should be allowed to dictate it? Should we consider only the woman's rights over the child's? Is it even a child? And if it is a child, what if the man doesn't agree with the abortion? Shouldn't he have the right to have a say in what happens to his offspring? In this instance, are we considering a woman's right's over the man's without equal consideration?

Should Marijuana Be Legalized?

Is marijuana really the gateway drug? Has science conclusively proven that it is not a serious health risk? Is marijuana really not an addictive substance?

Alcohal: Legal, Marijuana: Illegal, but the important question is, which is more dangerous? Is the alcohal-marijuana debate yet another example of double standards in America?

The Death Penalty

What drives us to believe one way or the other? Is it our moral, political or religious compass? Which has more baring on our stance? And, should we consider it "An eye for an eye"? Or should we view people eligable for the death penalty as a burden on society that should be eliminated?

Barack Obama: Should We Re-elect President Obama?

Affirmative Action

If one loses his or her job to another based on race, isn't that a form of racism? Having said that, doesn't that technically make Affirmative Action a legal form of racism? So the real question is, is Affirmative Action a good idea? Or is it just a good idea in theory?

What Double Standards Still Exist?

What examples do you have of double standards? Or do you disbelieve in them?

Should Welfare Recipients be Take Drug Tested?

If you have money to buy drugs, why are you on welfare? If a person is receiving government funding, why shouldn't the government be concerned about where their money is going? Would one prefer the government fund a drug habit because of some legal loop hole?

Parent Television Council and The Freakin FCC

The Parent Television Council has filed a number of indecency complaints to the FCC not just about Family Guy but, about various TV shows including The Golden Globe Awards, Friends, Nip and Tuck, That 70's Show, Two and a Half Men, Survivor and many other well known shows. While it's no doubt TV shows sometimes take things too far, the real question is, has the Parent Television Council (or The FCC) taken things too far also?

Fox News: Shirley Phelps-Roper "God Hates Fags and America!"

Most everyone knows the scripture I am about to quote, in Matthew 7:1 the bible states clearly:

"Judge not lest ye be judged". Having said that, the bible also states in James 1: 22 "But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves". It goes on to say in verse 26 "If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain."

What's interesting to me is that Shirley Phelps-Roper finds it easy to forget aboout 1 Samuel 15:23 "For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hath also rejected thee from being king." By making inflammatory comments, sanctimonious speeches and possessing the "Holier than thou" attitude, is she not rebelling against the bible? If so, is it not safe to assume from 1 Samuel 15:23 that she is just as sinful as the crowds she condemns?

The "Race Card"

Body... Modification or Mulilation?

Body modification has been documented throughout the history of various cultures around the world. But how extreme can the art of body modification go before it is considered outright body mutilation?

Sex Slave or Prostitute?

Lucilia, the 13 year old prostitute.

Does the absense of Human Trafficing mean she is just another prostitute?

What does it really mean to be a sex slave?

11 Month Old Weighs Over 60lbs

Are these parents feeding their child with love? Or just love feeding their child? According to the CDC, a child at this weight should be between the ages of 7 - 8 years old. Which begs the question, how morbidly obese can a parent make their child without being held accountable for medical neglect or child endangerment?
