This website gives all kinds of information about maternity leave. Its provides for the definition on maternity leave as well as other kinds of leaves that people have available to them. It gives info on what kinds of leave are available and when it is the right time to take it.

This is definitely interesting and especially because some companies don't follow these laws and regulations.

I definitely believe each one of these coverages are important and should be offered to everyone. I personally work a job in the service industry, which I understand is my choice, and I do not have any of these available to me and it can be very stressful at times.

This webpage talks about the Family And Medical Leave Act that provides family with Unpaid leave for up to about twelve weeks. That is to say that the only law that was set in place and only amended a couple of years ago doesn't provide full coverage leave.

Even though we have enacted law that allows men to take paternity leave, few do. Why?

Leave it to Arizona to come up with something like this.

We have a right to bear arms, but there is still alot of controversy arising with this 2nd Amendment right. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and mine is that if you are a responsible human being, and you are using the weapon as protection and leaving it in a safe place with the right precautions than you can have one, and you aren't abusing the right to have one. But if you are going to obtain a gun and bad decisions and leave it in places where it is easily accessable to those who shouldn't have it than you are irrisponsible and shouldn't be allowed to carry one. But, how are we supposed to sift through these personalities and find out who is capable of following the guidlines. Well...that is the million dollar question now isn't is?

A group plans to burn Korans on 9/11 to show the dangers of Islam. This shows a lack of religous freedom in this country, as well as ignorance towards world religions. It's appalling to see this. If you don't want to practice Islam don't, but leave those who do alone.

Wow, that sounds horrible. I'm not sure I'll get the courage to watch this. Thanks for sharing!

As much as i feel the constitution is outdated and is failing and we should create a new version of it using modern ways of living and looking at the world, the second amendment is something that should stay. This article points out quite a few reasons on why we should keep our guns. Some of the arguments are strong but the one about Jesus was a little ridiculous. The biggest argument I can think of is, if you take the guns away, the law abiding citizens will hand them in leaving the criminals with them still and leaving everyone unarmed.

Branding leaves a third degree burn to the skin and can be done with a cautery tool or a method known as striking. Striking seems to be the more painful as a sheet of metal with a design is laid onto the skin and heated with a torch. Cautery is much more precise as a surgical tool is used and the nerve dies quite quickly.

This site discuses President Obama's plan for welfare reform. It says his plan is to leave it up to the individual state to deiced how to go about the use of welfare.

The right to bear arms is in the constitution and how could the government change that in a good manner. I don't feel the problem is owning a gun, it it how people secure their guns at home. You can't have a gun at home and leave it accessable with children running around. We need to look at all the other causes of violence going into childrens heads like television and video games before we blame guns.

published Aprl. 15, 2012 ; how the TSA can elimate the banned item list and become a little more fluid in the items they disallow to carry.

It is broke. I think we should look at the way Israel handles their airport security.

I looked up how Israel handles with airport security & find this news article: http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/explainer/2011/01/whats_so_great_about_israeli_security.html Sadly, I was not aware of Israel's security. However, I relate to this a great deal since this past May & June I went to Afghanistan - and I was traveling with an Afghan citizen. I understand why they would be more cautious. Our coming back flight stopped in Dubai and we expected to have problems coming into the USA, but we also faced issues in Amsterdam. We were questioned a little longer than the other people - almost missed the flight because of it, twice - in Amsterdam & in the USA to coming to Phoenix. However, it did not bother us - we knew we would face issues. I don't even know how many times I was x-rayed - or how much time we spent talking to officials a little longer than everyone else and it happened everywhere we stopped, not only in the USA! I agree with these terms of not being so strict when leaving the USA, but coming back I could understand why the security was a little tighter.

Whenever we post on Facebook, twitter, or instagram, we leave traces of our lives and actions. Police can gain access to your social media sites and use it against you in court.

President Obama - the son of a single mother and the father of two daughters - understands that women aren't a special interest group. They are more than half of this country, and issues that affect women also affect families.
