  •  
    It has happened in many cases, where people get raped because of the pictures that they post so i would suggest that everybody thinks twice about what they post before they do.
  •  
    There is a new show on MTV about a killer who finds his victims on a social media/dating app.While this takes it to an extreme it's ideas are not far fetched.
  •  
    I would think this is common sense, only post what you feel like you wouldn't mind everyone seeing, that includes your boss, teacher,etc...
  •  
    When posting anything on social media you have to accept the fact that everyone and anyone will and can see it. Also, there's no going back! Once it's out there it will most likely always be out there.

    Social has become a little too invasive. I enjoy social networking but sometimes it is way more information than I want to know about someone.

  • NEWSReagan, Promises And The DraftBy T. Calkins | May 11, 1985Concerning your recent editorial entitled "Time to reconsider the draft": If President Reagan suddenly decides to join those who are advocating a return to the draft, it will prove once and for all that his promises are basically worthless. After all, in 1980 he declared that he opposed a peacetime draft or registration as an unwarranted intrusion into personal freedom. Within two years, however, he decided to continue registration, in his words, in case of a national emergency. NEWS

Abortion Freedom - 3 views

  •  
    as part of our personal freedoms women should be allowed to have an abortion, or as many as they want.Many American believe abortion freedom is as important as the right to free speech, and the right to vote.

    I don't believe that, why should a woman be allowed numerous abortions? These women need to take precautionary measures so they don't end up in the same situation.
  •  
    I believe abortion is a personal freedom. Why is it anybody else's business of what YOU decide what to do with YOUR body? Don't get me wrong, I do not necessarily think that someone should do it, but it is not my choice. It is theirs. It's kind of like gay marriages - if it is not a problem in your everyday life, then don't worry about it! Also, people always protest it until they are put into the situation - it's scary and life changing and some people are just not ready for that kind of responsibility. To be honest, and as bad as this sounds, I rather allow abortions to be done if the individual knows for a fact that they can't take care of the child.
  •  
    Abortion has always been a tough topic and I still have yet to decide on a solid answer. When you hear of women getting raped and pregnant its hard to tell them that they should have the baby. That would probably be the only case in which I believe abortion would be some what okay. On one side I believe it is a woman's right to do as she pleases with her own body, but at the same time she's not only making a decision for herself but also for what could be a baby. Your stopping a human from having a chance at life. I understand that some women may not be ready to take on such a responsibility but I would rather support adoption over abortion. As far as numerous abortions go, I think that if a women would ever need more than one then she should probably take a sex education class.
  •  
    The freedom for a women to choose to have an abortion is her personal freedom its should remain her and only hers. This freedom has been allowed to women by the scarifice of thousands of women before us.
  •  
    This topic is a difficult one to discuss. I feel as if birth and pregnancy is a miracle and its such a beautiful thing. Women able to be pregnant should be proud and feel blessed as some women aren't as grateful. I feel as if their is no excuse to take an infants life for the mothers fault. The only time i feel that there should be a debate about it is if the woman was raped.
  •  
    The right for a women to get an abortion or even several abortions is ultimately one of her personal freedoms. There are many different scenarios that happen that lead to an abortion and who are we to questions anyone about to get one? Its a woman's private decision and freedom and should be left that way.

Voices on Human Gene Patents: It's Time to Free Our Genes - 1 views

  •  
    this article is about how myriad genetics has a patent on our DNA. I always thought that my body was my own, including the very thing that makes me the unique individual that I am today.This article is arguing that there should not be a patent put on our DNA because of the cost and the ability to get second opinions on what could be life saving. If we can't even have the personal freedom to say what is ours on our own body, than what is personal freedom anyway? This is a really interesting topic!

They talk about how the media appeals to overweight women in an effort to sell diet products and on the contrary how these media types cause women to be depressed and cause other eating disorders. There is also lots of information about how other countries portray and regulate how women are portrayed in the media.

Prostitution ProCon.org -- Should prostitution be legal? - 3 views

    This article is split half and half. They have proven a lot of legit reasons as to why prostitution should be legalized, but many people feel so strongly against it at the same time.

    I think prostitution should be illegal because then it would only further the spread of STIs and end up causeing a lot more problems in the future.
  •  
    It's definitely a touchy subject with both pros and cons. If it was legal they could regulate it with certain standards that brothels have to uphold. On the other hand, someone's body should not be for sale. If it was legalized then more questions would rise like should prostitution rings be legalized as well. And no matter what happens people will still continue to do it under the table (no pun intended) because they don't want to follow the regulations.
  •  
    First, nice one Phebs. Now when it comes to this it should definetly be illegal, because it only leads to more problems.
  •  
    I think it should remain illegal because it could lead to legalization of pimping and prostitution rings. The dirtbags who are willing to sell women for their bodies deserve to rot in jail. Even if prostitution became legal there would still be jerkoffs who won't want to follow the state regulated standards put in place.
