How close is to close. This article describes a situation in Mesa. If there is a sex offender they need to be away from schools no matter where they have lived prior to a law being passed. Our children's safety is top priority.

Applied to marriage, assuming what's not true, that marriage between two men offends me, it's not the government's role on any level to protect me from being offended. Whatever one thinks of marriage between two men or two women, the argument that such a union negatively impacts those who aren't gay, or those who blanch at marriage between gay people is not compelling. Here's hoping we don't stop at marriage in expanding individual rights, rights that are natural, and that should exist free of political or voter influence.

This article talks about how Norwegian prisons treat their inmates. They are confined similar to American facilities but they are allowed much more liberties. Norway has the lowest repeat offender rate in all of the EU. Which also reduces the amount of money spent on the correctional system in their country.

This page talks about how transgender activists think that it isn't fair to associate being a woman with having a certain gender part. I understand their meaning behind being offended but I also believe that they didn't mean to offend anyone when they decided to do the walk.

I agree with you 100%. Interesting article.

This article talks about what freedom of speech is. Also how this freedom could be a bad thing, how it could be offensive.

In Monterey, California there is a restaurant that bans crying children; this has defenitely offended some parents. The restaurant owner put up a sign that prohibits crying children, high chairs, and strollers. This wouldn't be the only restaurant that doesn't want kids.

Many of us have heard about the Brock Turner case and a lot of people aren't happy about the outcome of it. Yes, he was sent to jail, but he raped a woman and the majority of people believe that he didn't get the time in prison (he didn't even go to prison) that he deserved. He was just recently sent home from jail. This article advised that in the past college athletes have committed crimes and were not given the right punishment for them. It also talks about Turner being classified as a sex offender possibly being worse than sending him to prison, which is actually a good point.

This is such a horrible case. It shows you how money and athletes can get away with things.
