Antigay forces launch new international hate group - 1 views

  •  
    Brian Brown of the National Organization for Marriage launches a new anti-LGBTQ group, the International Organization for the Family. He believes in "pro-family" and "defies the LGBT culture". Should marriage only be between a man and a women?
  •  
    This is extremely sad to see but not surprising. Homophobia is still around and these people are hateful. The hope is hat they don't manage to get any laws past that might hurt LGBT people. The supreme court ruled that for marriage equality.
  •  
    I agree, this is truly a sad state of affairs, but in the current political climate not at all surprising.

Are hate crime laws strong enough? - 0 views

  •  
    Although we have laws put in place to punish those who prefer hate crimes are they strong enough? With such laws in place there are still hate crimes that are committed with no fear of the repercussions. What should be done to stop these crimes?

Drinking and Driving - 3 views

  •  
    Making the right decision some time means safe life's. Drinking and driving is one of the big mistakes that people make during their life's.

    Drinking and driving is very common in today's society. I like this article because not only does it provide facts about faculties, but also provided a visual emotional touch while reading. People are effected everyday due to someone driving under the influence or while intoxicated. It's good we have things like Uber, taxi's, and buses that help lead away from driving drunk, which in return will lead to safer roads.
  •  
    It's still upsetting to me how much of a problem this is in society. It's not anything new yet it still hasn't been stopped and that needs to change.
  •  
    Drinking and driving is not only wrong, but its completely selfish. You are not only putting your life in danger, but you are also putting others in danger. There are many different routes you can take rather than just getting into your car intoxicated.
  •  
    Ugh, I hate that no matter how many times you can say to someone "please call me and ill pick you up" and they still choose to drive themselves home because they do not want to "bother" you. This is such a big issue in our society that everyone needs to learn to stop doing. I feel that Uber is helping in some way lately though!

Animal Rights - 2 views

  •  
    The article talks about a book on how animals should have rights as in equal consideration. Animals have the ability to suffer as well as a human being. Why should or should not animals have rights?
  • ...2 more comments...

    Good points. Are you vegan or vegetarian? Most animals have the ability to feel pain. Adolf Hitler stated that prey species such as deer, elk, gazelle, antelopes, etc. are healthier and can run for longer periods of time and promoted healthy eating (though he was a hippocrate and ate meat himself). When people eat meat they get tired easier, need more water, and have less energy. Without a moral foundation one can justify almost anything. Do you think Christian doctrine is to blame? After all, God told Peter to eat meat. Maybe it was the best choice in order to make peace with the gentiles and not eating meet would have made Peter look aloof. Then again, in Genesis it states that God gave mankind plants to eat and not meat. From a convenient point of view is it practical to only buy products that are not made from animals? Even makeup has animal products in it. What about shoes, clothes, purses, etc? Also, if you have time, I would suggest researching Ralph Smart. Have a good day.
  •  
    I enjoyed reading this article as well. Animals have very similar traits as humans. They eat, feel, and suffer just as humans do. Why should we strict them of their rights? Just because they do not have a voice to defend themselves does not mean we should ignore the equality they deserve.
  •  
    I loved this! Animals have such a huge place in my heart and definitely deserve all the rights as us humans do. I hate hearing stories or seeing videos posted on Facebook of animals being neglected.. I don't understand how some people can do such a thing to an animal who cannot even defend themselves. They just want to be loved and nurtured.
  •  
    The article made some great points. Animals do suffer. They feel pain and fear. Because of this, they definitely should be given rights. Like the article stated, I grew up eating meat, but have made the transition into vegetarianism thanks to my wife who is a vegan. All it took was for me to be educated on where our meat is coming from and the conditions of the animals being slaughtered. If people could read these types of articles and watch documentaries like "Earthlings" and "Cowspiracy" I am sure they might also consider vegetarianism or veganism.

How Trump's Rush to Enact an Immigration Ban Unleashed Global Chaos - 0 views

  •  
    This article is talking about the immigration ban. Again Donald Trump is starting a chaotic mess that isn't necessary. We are the land of the free where many people come to escape their countries where they are treated terribly. Now we aren't a place for those people to feel safe.
  •  
    I feel our Presidents immigration policy is a double edged sword. I agree that we need to protect our boarders but I feel that he is going to far with his executive orders and way too fast. We don't need the world to hate us any more then they already do.

Women's Rights - 6 views

    Since 1972 the ACLU has been working to secure gender equality and ensure that all women and girls are able to lead lives of dignity, free from violence and discrimination, including discrimination based on gender stereotypes.

    This link shows everything wrong with our world right now. I am constantly outraged by the wage gap, and how employers are allowed to get away with it. It blows my mind that so many people claim that men and women are CURRENTLY treated the same way, when clearly they are not. p.s i actually book marked this link on my computer, that way i can send it to anyone who disagrees.
  •  
    This has been an ongoing issue for us women since day one. inequality in employment, wages and opportunities is extremely unjust. I think the more its brought to the surface and the more we show we still haven't forgotten, we will eventually get somewhere. Just like when we all came together for women's rights on inauguration day :)
  •  
    Women's right are changing. Women's need equal opportunities in workplace and education. This link is showing us how unfair is society with females. Hopefully in the future everybody is going to be equal and we will have the same opportunities.
  •  
    It seems that for all of the changes that have been made, a lot still needs to be done. There is no excuse for our country or any other country to still be dealing with unequal rights for women. The violence is disgusting, as well as discrimination and unequal pay. Thank you for sharing.
  •  
    As a woman, I believe we have definitely come a long way. However, I believe we are not completely equal to males yet, which we should be. More changes need to be done.
  •  
    The fact that women and other people in our country and other countries have to even fight to be equal is disgusting. We are all the same and deserve to be treated the same. The fight must continue.
  •  
    It is crazy to think that in 2017 that we as humans can't treat one another the same as you would want to be treated yourself. I am not a woman but I do have a wife and daughter that I would hate/despise if they were treated any less than myself for any reason.

    Anti-smoking is always advertised. Smokers claim they have the freedom to smoke as long as they know the affects that it can cause them in the future.

Gender Equality - 1 views

  •  
    Gender equality still remains a big factor in women lives when it comes to career choices. In the article it compares the level of consideration between males and females when they pick their careers. This issue isn't going unnoticed by the press however and top influence's are doing their best to improve women's comfort ability and confidence when it comes to career choices.

    I believe that in general, regardless of gender, a person should pursue and be whatever they want to. Gender roles have substantially changed over the years and continue to do so. Chasing careers and hiring for jobs should focus on the person as an individual, not by their gender.
  •  
    I hate to admit, being a woman in society is definitely challenging in numerous ways. It's horrible that a person's gender determines if they qualify for the job or not. Although, throughout the years I believe people have improved and for the most part, people have stopped becoming so simple minded. Women are finally given the credit that they deserve.
  •  
    I think its important that we consider that its Gender Equality and not Female Equality. Both sides of the fence face the same descrimination. I am personally in a position where I am more than qualified to move up, but am noticing that only women are being promoted. There are struggles on both sides.

Justice for baby Brianna - 3 views

  •  
    This was very upsetting. The video briefly descibes Brianna's death and her killers. Following is an article that says Brianna's killers will not serve their full sentence due to good behavior. Her mother who was one of her killers will be released after serving only 13 of her 27 year sentence. Where is our justice for our innocent lives?
  •  
    I have a hard time reading about the mistreatment of children. This was difficult to watch and read. I think that the biggest issue here though is that murderers are being released without serving a full or fair sentence simply because they know how to behave well in front of the prison guards.
  •  
    I too have a difficult time hearing about how mothers, especially mothers, can harm their children. I have children of my own and I don't understand how some one can do that to their child. I hate how Brianna's killers can get away with it, and yes I do think they got away with it because they aren't rooting in jail for the rest of their lives just because they played the part and acted innocent while in jail.

    This is a great reference, it does a good job of explaining things in a relatable and understandable way.
  •  
    This is a awesome article, I like how it explains in depth about the challenges immigrants face. It is always important to understand from a different perspective on what immigrants and refugees face.
  •  
    This article shows a great understanding of how it is to immigrate to the U.S. Hopefully this can bring some understanding to those who feel hateful to these groups of people.
