Our progress with climate change risk being overturned. A lot of people including our president don't believe in the science of global warming.

Again I will ask how do you personally explain the duality of scientific evidence? The last time I check the currently elected administration is not taking English 102 or 101, sharing fact based articles or an attempt there unto pertaining. How do you personally defend your argument against the duality of scientific research; That in the last 30 years the atmosphere over the Antarctic has repaired itself over 150,000,000 square miles despite the increase of carbon emissions?

http://climate.nasa.gov/evidence/. Here you go Dalton. Now, may I ask where you got your "evidence based fact" from, and do you have anymore from any reputable sources?

The police has to have evidence, before they can search or seize anyone or anything. If there is a search or seizure that is not lawful then the evidence will not be used at court.

There is no evidence scientifically that tax will solve obesity. solution is not education alone. No evidence that soda is the cause, sales of soda are down but sugar drinks are still high Calories are not the issue. soda adds too much sugar and has no nutritional value. Beverage industry needs to be part of solution

Some people against seat belt laws think that the law is unconstitutional. They say there is no real evidence to show that seat belts save lives. However people who are for the seat belt law say that there is evidence to show that seat belts save lives.

This website looks at gay rights to adopt. Because adoption is such a large topic, I think this is unique since it looks at gay and lesbian rights. The site outlines the issue and discusses each side.

Not all states give homosexual couples the same adoption rights as heterosexual couples. There is no statistical data or research to show why gay parents would be any different than straight parents.

Part 2: Search engine used: http://www.metacrawler.com/ URL: http://civilliberty.about.com/od/gendersexuality/ig/Lesbian-and-Gay-Rights-101/Gay-Adoption-Rights.htm Original: 1. "A child is better off with one father and one mother." Even if this claim were true (and there's no evidence that it is), it would be irrelevant. States allow adoption by individuals, and not just by married couples, precisely because they recognize that any healthy, stable family environment is a better option than the foster care system. Paraphrase: "A child is better off with one mom and one dad." There is no evidence that this statement is true, however providing evidence would not make it any more relevant. States not only allow married couples to adopt, but single parents too. This has something to do with recognizing that any environment that is healthy and stable is a more realistic option than foster care.

This site focuses on the right to life and also the right for women to express that right. This article goes over factual evidence of the impact "choice" is making on young girls today.

This article shows how powerful oil giant, Chevron; uses it's vast influence to shirk the First Amendment. To avoid lawsuits Chevron forces journalists to turn over damaging evidence.

This website is basically a blog that provides useful information for women who are VBAC advocates. It offers books, personal stories and advice to those looking. It also states studies and evidence in support of the procedure

Racism in America still exists and probably always will, especially toward the Latino community. Their acceptance in the work place and in education institutions are frequently effected by evidence a stereotypical bias. This is true prejudice at its core and continues to crosses generations.

Growing up in Arizona I had no idea what racism was. My high school was predominantly Hispanic and I never saw prejudice towards them or hatred to me. It wasn't until I was an adult that I began to realize the problem with racism. Although I do believe that America is still the greatest country, any other country that you can say deals with racism better is just more white, and doesn't have to deal with it. I cannot say that there are not people here who believe, for some insane reason, that America is a suppose to be "white" and anyone of a different race is an "immigrant." I am hopeful that as each generation is born a small part of racism dies.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend that healthy children get vaccinated. There is no evidence that proves vaccinations cause autism. Vaccines are required for children who go to school.

This article discusses how the United States is behind when it comes to providing paid maternity leave. The United States does not guarantee paid maternity leave.

I feel like every women should be guaranteed paid maternity leave. The government constantly wants us to re produce to keep the world going, so they should encourage women that they'll be fine with money and won't have to worry about missing work.

Maternity leave should be a MUST. Pregnancy is tough and the delivery is life changing. Mother's go through all different kinds of changes. It is unfair for a mother to have to go through these changes all while worrying about having to go to work and missing and wondering how her child might be doing.

Nasa's website contains facts, articles, solutions and resources regarding climate change. The website displays current information on the front page as well as breaking news headlines regarding climate change.

The graphics in this article made it interesting and informative. The statistics on the increase in carbon dioxide levels since 1950 is astonishing. Discussions on global warming causes and remediation are necessary.

In this article, the author explains the causes, effects and solutions to climate change in an interactive way. The website takes you to different diagrams so that you get a better understanding of the evidence.

This article talks about the FBI was denied access to monitor a mans computer. The reason being is that the feds did not have enough evidence to provide to the judge.

This article provides information about the shootings done by police in 2015. It provides different situations that all lead to police shootings.

This seems like a comprehensive collection of police shooting occurrences. When doing any research paper about law enforcement it would definitely be helpful. It is horrible that unjust killings exist.

It is hard to discern the situation after-the-fact. Police officers are put into life-threatening situations but many times, they are dealing with someone who has a mental illness. In addition, the insurmountable evidence of police brutality is undeniable. I think we should re-evaluate our shoot first, ask questions later approach.

This article outlines how deceiving, and even ignorant the Black Lives Matter movement really is to claim that police are racist. A Harvard Law professor and his students conducted a experiment compiled of more than 3,000 hours of data, and concluded that in fact there is a race that is more likely to be shot by police, Caucasians, as there will be the least blow-back, or media coverage from the public about racial tensions, and racist police officers. The Black Lives Matter organization as of late is based off of the idea that police are killing in cold blood based off the idea that the victims are black. This idea is ludicrous and has been debunked several times before in the past. However BLM uses deceit and raises lots of money in order to recruit, train, and buy weapons for shooters such as Micah Xavier Johnson did in Dallas. The BLM organization has strong ties, and was founded by the Black Panthers, a known terrorist organization that targets Caucasians and police officers. It deeply saddens me that people can so easily tie themselves to a movement with such rotten foundations, which is deceiving millions of innocent people and taking advantage of them, using them as martyrs.

Explore information about eating disorders, including signs and symptoms, treatment, research and statistics, and clinical trials. Examples of eating disorders include anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge-eating disorder.

I think that this situation is sort of a "hush hush" situation so I think it is great that people are talking out about it. If more people talk about it, then maybe people that are suffering from situations like this can be open about it and about getting help. I also think that people opening up about it, will open up societies eyes and realize that people are suffering from this mostly because of the pressure people have to look how society wants.

People are so wrapped up on having the perfect body that they fail to realize their hurting themselves. Eating disorders are very tragic, but are also very common these days. We start to think that just because one plan worked for someone else it will work for everyone. The truth is, everyone's body is different and reacts differently too.

It is evident that a major threat to our personal privacy, and the possible infringement of our rights are increasing due to the use of unmanned aerial vehicles "UAV's" in U.S airspace.

I found this article pretty interesting. I never really realized that were were using the UAV's until my sister in law started flyng one. She is a pilot in the air force and flys the UAV's into enemy territory from her basement in South Dakota. I feel in this case that it is a valuable asset. Atleast we are saving our lives by using that instead of sending soldiers to die.

Should kids be required to get vaccinations? This website talks about how there are now fewer kids getting vaccines because of a number of reasons. some of the reasons are that the parents are simply opting out because of fears or paranoia or just laziness. The article says that the reasons that parents use for kids to skip shots vary, some are related to religion. 

Hi all, I am a parent of three. All of my kids are current on all vaccines recommended by their PCP. I am a true believer. That being said I do think something could be changed for the vaccine requirements. I have spoken to many people about this in my area. I'm actually scared for the un-vaccinated kids so it always sparks curious conversations for me. The common denominator I found with everyone I have spoken to about not vaccinating their kids is, they don't want to vaccinate all at once, they want to spread it out. I feel it's a greater risk to wait or not get a child vaccinated period, but I'm wondering for those who are just not educated on the facts of vaccines or those who are afraid of all of them at once maybe they can have a different vaccine protocol. While it won't be what the CDC recommends initially, I feel that it would still be better than not vaccinating period.

I agree with my colleagues above, the ignorance about vaccines is becoming widespread. We are in an age of refined medical practices and innovation based on factual evidence and research. Parents in doubt should consider two words. (Herd Immunity) for those unfamiliar with its meaning I'll leave you with its definition - the resistance to the spread of a contagious disease within a population that results if a sufficiently high proportion of individuals are immune to the disease, especially through vaccination. "the level of vaccination needed to achieve herd immunity varies by disease but ranges from 83 to 94 percent" We all have a stake in this.

This article is written by a Congressman, Bob Goodlatte. He is describing his stance on personal freedoms and bullet points actions he has taken. The actions include surveillance, privacy, the right to bear arms, and healthcare to name a few.

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."

This explains a persons individual rights and personal freedoms and that the government cannot infringe upon them.
