Adoption - Unmarried Equality - 2 views

  •  
    Should single people to allowed to adopt? This website fights for the equality of unmarried people and it discusses whether or not unmarried people should deserve more equal opportunity of being able to adopt a child. it explains first that there are so many children waiting to be adopted. Then the website also talks about how unmarried people actually want to adopt.

    I really do not understand why adoption agencies are refusing to adopt children out to same sex couples, or single people because if someone is going to love and provide for that child, what does it matter who they marry? The number of children who are looking for a loving family is endless, so many children need to be adopted.
  •  
    If the couple is same sex or single and make the requirements to adopt then why not. There are so many children in foster care that are waiting to be adopted. It shouldn't matter a persons sexual preferance to be able to adopt as long as the couple loves and can provide for the child. It also shouldn't matter if one is single. Again as long as the person can love and provide for the child there shouldn't be a problem.
  •  
    Being married should not have any precedence over those who are not. Love is a universal concept that everyone has to offer. Women no longer need a man to provide for them, so why should one have to be married to love and care for a child? Especially if the willing parent has no issue providing the means to support the child. It is better than just leaving the child in a system that gives them no actual emotional support, which only contributes to abandonment and self-worth issues.
  •  
    Personally I think anyone who is willing to tell themselves that they want to take in a child that is not born from their blood line and care for that child as if they are then all power to them, there are too many children out there that don't have homes and are put in the system until they age out and I think equality for single people is the right thing to do.

Obesity in Children - 5 views

  •  
    One third of children in the U. S. is overweight or obese, and this number is continuing to rise. Children have fewer weight-related health and medical problems than adults. However, overweight children are at high risk of becoming overweight adolescents and adults, placing them at risk of developing chronic diseases such as heart disease and diabetes later in life.

    Obesity in children in our country happens to have the highest percentage in comparison with other countries. I think we, as parents and we, as responsible adults can change this. We should have in schools mandatory pysical education classes, at least once a week. and it would still make a difference. Also, the school snacks or lunches, the menu needs adjustment and changed to a more nutritional one, not one that is high in calories. Now, I know that kids love fast food, but if that can be limited I think would change something. Sometimes us, the parents we are making this mistake, being in a hurry out of convenience, we buy some fast food and dinner ready. Of course, the child loves it and everyone is happy, but if we do this over and over, the result is child obesity and health issues related to that. The change needs to start with us, as adults in the choices we make.
  •  
    Diet and activity is so important especially when it comes to children. Adults are supposed to engage children in daily activities and teach them while they are young to have a clean eating diet. The U.S. definitely has the highest rates when it comes to obesity. With all the fast and processed foods around it just makes it convenient for us all to buy.
  •  
    Parents who let their children become obese are abusive. Also these so called "healthy" menus at schools are often nothing more than calorie restrictions. For example, my former high school Ironwood often only served a slice of pizza and that is it and charged $2.75. Students would instead by 2 slices of pizza from vendors for a dollar each. Also many students just skip lunch all together and snack after they get home from school. Another problem is the budget. Cafeteria workers make very little money and have a small amount of money to spend,. As a result cafeterias serve junk food because it is cheaper. Also many parents use the busy excuse to be neglectful of their children's health.
  •  
    To say that parents who let their children become obese are abusive have never struggled with weight. But that too is a generalization. There are so many children that are on fighting diseases and are given medication that has side effects of weight gain.One of these drugs is steroids. My daughter is fighting several different battles she was born with. She is on steroids, by the doctor, to fight one of the diseases. She is also a love vegetables and fruits. She swims every week. She takes tap, ballet, jazz and gymnastics. She is overweight, but very fit. Some diseases are ruthless. To say that being overweight is because you eat pizza and that you are unhealthy is just wrong. There are many ways that you can be unhealthy. Looks can be deceiving. Don't judge that book until you read it
  •  
    High blood pressure at such a young age is horrible. The parents are not the only ones at fault but our society is at fault for allowing to go as far as it has gone. As "aus2127741", states about the school systems lack of nutritional value is absolutely correct, it being disgusting.
  •  
    Obesity in children is often sad to see but it is becoming very prevalent in American society. In my opinion, a mixture of an extremely sedentary lifestyle as well as poor nutritional choices at school and at home contribute largely to this issue. Because children now have a multitude of indoor activities that don't necessarily get them on their feet and a lack of overall knowledge on what is a decent, balanced diet I'm not really surprised to see this issue skyrocketing.
  •  
    Obesity is still rising especially because of the pandemic that we are going through which made families quarantine for a long time. It is very sad that the obesity rates only have increased.

Gay Marriage: Personal Freedoms and Equal Rights - 0 views

  •  
    Article about Gay marriage and how it effects personal freedoms. Also about peoples feelings towards new laws.
  •  
    The new California gay marriage law has taken effect, and thousands of couples are clamoring to exercise that right at secular offices and religious institutions throughout the state. These thoughts were inspired in part by an email, received Monday, with a link to the New York Times review of a new movie, Chris and Don: A Love Story, about the British-born writer Christopher Isherwood and his life-long companion, the artist Don Bachardy.

    This website looks at gay marriage as a right. It provides facts surrounding the issue and gives a history of the issue in different states. It also brings our attention to the issue and asks us to look at the controversy.
  •  
    Its been stated that same sex coupes should be given the same rights as heterosexual couples. But there are still some that argue that allowing this will do more harm than good. This site list pros and cons to same sex marriage.
  •  
    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.
  •  
    This website is all about gay marriage. It includes information about what states have legalized gay marriage along with pros and cons of same sex marriages
  •  
    This is a website displaying the pros and cons to legalizing gay marriage. This website is non biased and approaches the debate from both sides. It has to do with personal freedoms because people should have the freedom to marry whoever they would like.

  •  
    Gay marriage is legal in 19 states. There are many reasons for both sides. This website shows the pros and cons.
  •  
    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?

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.

Should men get paternity leave from work? - 2 views

  •  
    Do you believe men should get paternity leave from work? This site provides both sides to whether fathers should get time off of work to help raise and care for their children or not. Comment below your thoughts!
  • ...6 more comments...
  •  
    I noticed that some of the arguments against men getting paternity leave are that the women do all of the work, so the men do not deserve it. I think this is a foolish argument because it is contradicting. If the mom does all of the hard work, why not give the father paternity leave in order to help her with the baby? The father cannot do anything about the growing baby in her stomach and all of the side effects that come with it, however, he can help feed the baby, change the baby, and put the child to sleep. It is not a vacation, it is time given to spend with their newborn child and assist in one of the most difficult phases of being a parent.
  •  
    I fully support this debate. Men should be afforded the right to be a parent just as much as a mother is.
  •  
    I agree, men should be able to get time off from work so they can also spend time with their new baby!
  •  
    I had a conversation with a coworker recently. We didn't understand why men are not offered Paternity leave at several companies including the one I work for. I believe that men need the time to bond with their children just as much as the mother does.
  •  
    I would have loved it if my husband could have taken time off from work when my children were born. Things aren't as clearly defined as they used to be. There aren't mens jobs and womens jobs. My husband helped me with all of my children, as well as working a full time job. It's up to each family to decide what works for them. We have stay at home dads now and moms who work and everything in between.
  •  
    This is an interesting topic, that I haven't herd before. It should be up to the man. although the women are the ones who are actually pregnant...
  •  
    I would have loved if my husband could have had paternity leave from work when I had my children. It also depends on the circumstances in the family household. Can they afford for both to be on leave?
  •  
    This website is a debating website that states a question and shows you people's responses from both sides (yes or no.) It doesn't necessarily hold factual information from one person, but can give insightful opinions or facts from a lot of people to help build your own argument.

Why Isn't Pornography Addiction An Official Diagnosis? - 1 views

  •  
    This article explains why there isn't an official diagnosis for porn addicts. because of lack of research they can't provide. Porn kills love shows why there should be a diagnosis.
  •  
    I completely agree that pornography is one of the most addicting drugs in today's world. It is destroying families and people's ability to love and build relationships with other people. If we are able to diagnose it, we better find how we can stop it.

A Closer Look at Puppy Mills - 0 views

  •  
    Dogs are constantly bred in harsh conditions to keep the puppy industry strong. They are not bred in healthy conditions and are marked up for a massive profit.
  •  
    I have a very strong love for animals & its awful what they have to go through. That's why I always tell people to "adopt & not shop" because people who shop are contributing to these harsh conditions that animals endure.

Wrongful Convictions - 1 views

  •  
    Over the years many innocent men and women have been wrongful convicted of crimes they never committed. Each day many are proven innocent and finally able to see loves ones and walk as free men and women again.
  •  
    My heart hurts for people who are wrongly incarcerated. After they are released it isn't enough to apologize or give them large amounts of money. There are no transitional programs to reintegrate them into society. It's usually up to local organizations to help people get back on their feet.
  •  
    Wrongful incarceration is a really big deal in our country. Black men and women especially are being incarcerated at higher rates due to petty crimes or crimes they didn't even commit and I think that really needs to be fixed.

10 Ways to Save Water at Home - 3 views

  •  
    Conserving water is a must. We need water to do most of our living. We really don't think about water when we wash our hands, taking a shower, or even watering our lawn.
  • ...2 more comments...
  •  
    Definitely agree big time with this one. Water is used daily, and so much of it too. People don't realize how much water a single person uses daily, and there is millions of people in Phoenix alone. We don't have an endless water supply and it's very important we watch how much water we use everyday. I love how the website you provided lists ways to save water!
  •  
    Water in Arizona is very limited. We are always in a drought and this article definitely helps people to open their minds about this. I love this article because it shows how simple it is to reduce.
  •  
    Agreed! Water is essential for everyone and we are wasting tons of it. Lots of us not even knowing! We recently had a person from our water company come to our home and tell us we were using too much water. Turns out we had a toilet constantly running. Makes you wonder how many other places are affected not even knowing.
  •  
    Wow, the US used 170 gpd per capita while other counties like Australia only use 36! That is crazy. I completely agree that we should limit our water usage not just because it is wasteful, but also in my article it pointed out the benefits on our ecosystem.

Sorting Out Obama's Gun Proposal - 0 views

  •  
    The article covers the announcement of Obama's gun debate in 2016. It talks about the many concerns of gun restrictions as well as President Obamas proposal on these issues and more.
  •  
    I love the fact that Arizona is a right to carry state. I think the biggest thing that people need to think about is this.. Most people that commit crimes with guns did not go to their local Wal-mart and buy a gun and go kill someone. Most people that use guns for violence came across those guns illegally. Whether they were stolen or bought from an illegal arms seller, they were obtained illegally. These are the guns that need to be controlled, not the ones that were legally obtained.

Whale Wars How Sea Shepherd Works - 0 views

  •  
    When Paul Watson says that he and other members of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society risk their lives to save whales, he isn't joking. Every winter, the Sea Shepherd staff and crew set sail to the treacherous Southern Ocean to stop Japanese whalers from catching and killing nature's largest mammals.
  •  
    I used to love watching their show on discovery channel. I agree they do risk lives every time they go out to stop the Japanese whalers. I do feel that the conservation of whales is important to our environment. I went whale watching in San Diego over the summer and they are magnification animals.

Trumps proposed band on refugees will have global consequences - 0 views

  •  
    Trump has proposed a policy to stop refugees coming into the country. That has horrible consequences. It says to the world that the US will not help offer help in times of need. It also leads to families being separated as refugees already in the US won't be able to get their families to come over too.
  •  
    Thank you for sharing this article, I personally and politically believe in helping refugees. One of the great things I have loved about America is how helpful and open the US has previously been in accepting refugees. I'm saddened that this may no longer be the case with the Trump Administrative.
  •  
    The same proposition was put into place during world war two after Japan attacked Pearl Harbor. Just out of curiosity, do you believe it was appropriate then?

Bishops Denounce Abortion - 2 views

  •  
    The U.S. Roman Catholic bishops issued a pastoral letter that would criticize abortion and end the disgrace of having an abortion under law.
  •  
    My mother was born to an unwed 15 year old in 1940. My mother was given away in adoption to a family member. My grandmother wanted to have my mom (she had fallen in love with a service man who was killed in German) but her mom wanted her to have an abortion. It was illegal in those days and my grandmother refused to go to the "special doctor." So she was shipped away to a home for girls like her in Chicago to have my mom. My story is different then most. I am a product of a saved baby. Without my grandmother fighting for my mom, myself, my brother, my children, we would be dead. It is harder to speak to a child that survived abortion. No one has the right to tell me that we do not have the right to live. I am so grateful that abortion was illegal. I am so grateful that my beautiful children are alive.We are blessed.
  •  
    Whenever this issue comes up one thing always pops into my head. My body, my choice. I am a female that was born and raised in the Catholic church and had to listen to this stuff for years. It never made sense to me why so many people try revoking this right from women. If you don't support it, fine. However, to take the option away from women who do want abortion as an option opens up even more negative doors. When women do not have a safe environment to discuss these options and the operation itself is made illegal then women who are desperate are more likely to go to back alley doctors or try to perform their own abortion. This often leads to more deaths among women whether it be from a botched, cheap operation or a horrific infection. It should also be noted that each woman is different. They might want the option of abortion for various reasons. Perhaps something is wrong with the child, and the doctors note it won't live past a couple of days, maybe the woman was raped and ended up pregnant, perhaps the fetus was dying and was also killing the mother, perhaps the woman just doesn't want children. You never know the circumstances of why a woman chooses to have an abortion, and they should never be judged for it or have that right revoked.

Federal Child Abuse Numbers Climb Again * SJS - 1 views

    This page is about child abuse. According to the page the amount of children getting abused has gone up over the years.

  •  
    Such a interesting read, it may apply to some individuals.
  •  
    It is not a surprise that the rates are increasing. There are so many forms of child abuse.
  •  
    There is no way we could go door to door to help the children out but I think teachers play an important role in protecting children who might have been exposed to domestic child abuse.
  •  
    Uhhh this sickens me, A baby! A simple child! How can you abuse someone who you are supposed to love the most?It sickens me most because there are so many different alternatives to use if you arent able to parent yet, Take them instead of putting your kid in harms way.

Report: Foster Kids Face Tough Times After Age 18 - 3 views

  •  
    In this report it talks about foster kids and what happens to them after they turn 18. While some states, a small handful, have programs for the kids others do not. It spoke about kids turning 18 then getting dropped off at homeless shelters. I hope in the near future there will be a change for these kids. They crime rate, young parent rate and homeless rates are just not acceptable. Please read and see how you can help in you community.
  •  
    There was a group home next door to my home for years. These kids had no support even when they were in the system. They were often locked out of the home when the state workers needed to go somewhere. My family and I ended up being family for many of these children. One afternoon, Charles who lived in the group home, rang our doorbell. I came out and he was yellow and falling over. I asked him where are the workers. He let me know they had locked them out again. I put him in my car and rushed him to the hospital. I knew it was bad when the emergency room nurses took him immediately. The staff at the group home had been giving him the wrong medication and he lost most of his liver. Charles calls me mom. His children call me Grandma. A lot of the kids that were living in the home, call me mom. I refer to them as one of my kids. The best way to take care of these children is to invite them into your heart, lives and family before and after they turn 18. Demonstrate the way to success by showing them love.
