    This website is an argument between Dianne Post and Bishakha Datta. The two women give their own perspectives on prostitution and whether they think it should be legalized or not. Dianne Post believes that it should not be legalized, while Bishakha Datta believes that it should be legalized.

    I do not know how to feel about this article. They both have great points. I have friends who prostitute. I have seen some get there lives destroyed and some that seem to be fine. I honestly think it should be illegal because of the violence that comes from it. No women should have to face it.

    I disagree with the perspective that prostitution should be legalized on a philosophical basis. Dianna in her post made excellent points against the legalization of prostitution so I will not reiterate them. Legalizing something that has been thought of as immoral for millennia I believe would be unwise. I don't think anyone would agree with me if I were to argue for the legalization of murder, so why would we legalize something that is on an equal level of immoral behavior for a majority of people.

    There are many pros and cons of legalizing marijuana. This site gives a bit of more information on what these pros and cons are. For example, Marijuana is no more harmful to a person's health than alcohol or tobacco, which are both legal and widely used, and regulated by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration, and Some Americans believe that marijuana ingestion is immoral, and that their moral standards should be required of all Americans.

  • Malia Kihei on 09 Sep 13
     
    Some of the pros of legalizing marijuana are that it can be taxed, law enforcement could be doing more productive things with their time and that whether one smokes it should be their own decision. Some of the cons include that marijuana could possibly lead to other drugs and that long term use could be harmful.

    This article talks about the reasons why drugs (of all kinds) should be legal. It talks about how legalizing drugs could potentially make streets safer and would aid in preventing prison overcrowding. It also brings up how legalizing drugs would free up police resources, unclog the court system, reduce official corruption and how it could cripple organized crime. It also talks about how legalizing drugs can prevent the contraction of AIDS and other diseases and prevent the erosion of personal liberties.

    I do believe marijuana should be legal due to so many people using the drug even though it is illegal. It definitely would prevent prison overcrowding and if alcohol is legal and kills people often, why can't marijuana be legal?

    This website covers some of the 10 reasons that the Coalition Against Trafficking in Women International thinks of why prostitution should not be legalized. Some of the reasons they provide and argue for is that the legalization would promote sex trafficking. They also argue that it would expand the industry instead of controlling the industry of prostitutes.

    Prohibiting gay marriage is unconstitutional discrimination. However others argue that altering the real meaning of marriage between a man and a woman, will weaken a threatened institution and may lead lto polygumous (having more than one wife or husband) and interspecies marriages.

    Should gay marriage be legal? There are many pros and cons to this topic and in our society today it is a huge social justice issue. Should we stick with the traditional way of life where a man and woman get married and have children, or should we branch out and allow everyone the freedom to love and marry whoever they want?

    Our nation is riddled with debt and many states have considered relaxing drug policies to help budgets.  There are some financial benefits that would come with legalizing drugs such as taxes and savings on both persecuting and housing criminals.

    On this website I found great information what states have already decided to legalize marijuana and the reasoning behind it. The site states that the Obama administration is allowing states to implement medicinal marijuana laws without any federal interference. Of course the website also lists each state that is more than likely to legalize marijuana and the reasons each state has for doing so.

    While Same- sex marriage is now legal, socially, there are still injustices. Everything from being denied service to the side- eyed looks same- sex couples receive on a day- to- day basis proves that while legally things are moving forward, socially, they are not. What will it take to address this social injustice?

    There are many reasons, good and bad as to why legalizing marijuana. Potentially dismantling of The Black Market. But can cause many issues within our country.

    At first I was skeptical as this website is titled "Honest Marijuana," meaning it is dedicated to the idea of marijuana and may be biased. After further reading the page, I saw that the name is true: It is really honest on BOTH sides. It involves both the pros and the cons, and can help people build an argument on whether it would be better to be legalized or not.

    While a popular section of our nation supports legalization, the Executive branch of government still holds the power to legalize the drug. Attempts are being made to reclassify the drug for medical use.
