9 societal fixes for personal freedom - 0 views

  •  
    This guy has some interesting ideas. Ending the war on drugs by legalizing drugs and taxing them for profit and allowing people to consume or not consume anything they choose seems a bit extreme. I do agree that a rebalance of taxes would benefit the hard working middle class families.
  •  
    A really good article with a lot of good ideas. I especially liked the idea about fixing the infrastructure. I saw a special a few years ago talking about how the infrastructure was deteriorating and I can only imagine it's gotten worse.

    Depending on how people interpret laws, they might believe that they might have lost them but some other people are still satisfied by the fact that they still have some rights. I really like how she expressed her opinion and it really got me thinking onto how our rights might change in the future.

Eninem Lyrics-Drug Ballad - 0 views

    While there are some parts that seem to show that doing drugs is a bad idea it is mainly most of the following: As ecstasy got me standing next to you, Getting sentimental as fuck spillin' guts to you We just met But I think I'm in love with you But you're on it too So you tell me you love me too Wake up in the morning like "yo, what the fuck we do?" I gotta go bitch You know I have stuff to do 'Cause if I get caught cheatin' then I'm stuck with you But in the long run These drugs are probably going to catch up sooner or later But fuck it, I'm on one So let's enjoy Let the X destroy your spinal cord

Marriage for Same-Sex Couples | American Civil Liberties Union - 1 views

  •  
    Under equal protection, same sex couples should have the freedom and support to marry their loved ones. Religious faiths that are opposed to the idea are free to not support the couples. Under DOMA each state was given the right to define marriage.
  •  
    If same sex couples meet the set forth requirements to be a common law couple they should be able to marry and be treated equally.
  •  
    Provisions of DOMA were recently struck down which gave same sex couples equal protection under federal laws. A recent development that's getting little attention is churches are changing their bylaws to protect themselves from lawsuits by the LGBT community. The bylaws are taking up where DOMA was struck down, declaring the church only recognizes marriages between a man and a woman.

End Compulsory Schooling - 0 views

    Individuals are finding another way to educate their children. As each state has an education law that requires children to but in school. With home education children have the ability to learn and embrace their interests.

    This article is about how school mandates are restricting personal freedoms. The ideals of authors viewpoints on the subject.
  •  
    Where should learning take place? Home schooling is an alternative to public education. Children are place under a greater amount of pressure due to testing, having to learn the curriculum taught in a short amount of time, tests, when they start school and attendance in school. With home schooling most of the stress is erased.
  •  
    In this article, the author talks about the public schooling system as a forced act on our society that actually makes the future of education worse for us. Instead of letting our children think for themselves, learn the trades they wish to learn, and force them to attend for a certain amount of time, we are taking away their personal freedoms of education. Many people are pushed to thinking that a set school rubric will help every child to get the education they need for their future, but according to the views of the author, they don't. The author's view is that society should be looking more into home schooling and trade schooling to help the United States grow to be more productive for the future. Every generation, school is seen more as a prison; molding our future to think as the way the government wants them to think. But if we were to give freedom to complete schooling outside of force, children will regain their excitement for learning and pursue to better our nation on their own free will.
  •  
    An interesting article on the state of our education system and how the direction we have gone with it seems to be lacking. Lending itself to breaking the ideas that people have about how a child "must" learn, the article offers up that those ideas are not often the case.

    This tells the pros to why prostitution should be legalized. Some including improving neighborhoods and safety, reducing crime, puts law enforcement to better use, and it promotes liberty and privacy. But as we all know there are cons that go with it. You will have cons with everything. This article is good to read if you have an open mind. Some of the ideas do make sense.

Can You Hear Me Now? - 0 views

  •  
    This article describes the idea of a "roving bug," which is how the FBI can tap into your cellphone conversations. Apparently, all cellphones have built-in tracking devices that enable the government to listen, and to track you. This assists the government in catching criminals, but makes the public feel as if their privacy is being invaded.
