    In this article, a man named Mark Aguilera is expressing his views on the law that was passed here in Arizona about making immigrant carry identification to show that they are legal to be in America. He makes a good point in comparing it to when Jewish people had to wear a yellow star of David so that they could be identified as Jews. he also states that if this continues the it will soon be out of control and made into a America law.

    I may not agree with same sex marriage but when you look at the fundamental rights that a couple would have, it seems like the right thing to do is to allow it. They should be given the same rights that a typical husband and wife have.

    The regulation of physician assisted suicide is always questioned. The American Psychological Association will play an important role in determining the regulation of such an act if more states are willing to legalize this act.

    The Park 51 project in New York City is again under fire, this time for applying for funds from the 9-11 rebuilding fund. Critics and protesters think the project development is a "slap in the face" as people continue to debate its proximity to Ground Zero. Yet, how can the appropriation of public funding be legally withheld from a specific religious or cultural group?

    Some parents have the idea that allowing their teenagers and friends to drink in their private homes as opposed to attending unsupervised parties is a safer alternative. However, adults can end up legally liable or even in jail for supplying alcohol to other people's children.

    Most of us are aware that there are significant benefits to breastfeeding. One should know the laws and the resources to go to if one is discriminated against for breastfeeding in public. One should also be considerate of others when breastfeeding in public.

    This is crazy its about how the copscan arrest you on the spot if you can't prove your citizenship status. Further more it states that if you buy a gun made in Arizona you don't have to register it.
  • dsmoliver1 on 31 Jan 15
     
    The weapon of choose becomes their Constitution right to bear arms. Perhaps that prospect will make police a little more concerned about who they round up on the streets. We doubt it. Weapon's instructors in Arizona feel cheated by the state's law makers as they are killing their business.
  • anonymous on 31 Jan 15
     
    It is wrong to be stopped by patrol just because you don't seem to look like you're from the US. As for the weapons not having to be licensed also defeats the purpose. I think anyone who owns a concealed weapon should be trained on how to use it, and with that you have to own a license.
  • anonymous on 31 Jan 15
     
    I defiantly disagree with both of these laws. I don't think it is right that a cop can pull someone over just to make sure they are legal. I also think in order to be allowed to handle a gun people should go through safety classes.
  • lukemclellan on 03 Feb 15
     
    I think there should be a little more added to both these laws. If you want to search someone regardless of race, gender, religion or whatever you should need probable cause. Also I think if you are going to handle any type of weapon you should have some background with weapons handling; maybe off free weapons safety classes at public ranges?

    This yes or no article sums up why same sex marriage should or should not be legalized. With each yes and no they provide a detailed reason supporting it. When it came down to it, the yes column won with 9 reason why they should be allowed to marry while the no column only had 6 reason.

    Same sex marriage also want families just like traditional marriage. Adopt increases in gay couples because they can not have kids the natural way. This way benefits adoption and kids around the world. Although, people say that gay couples don't help childern develop. However, same - sex adoptions have yet to become widespread.
  • anonymous on 31 Jan 15
     
    Gay couples should be able to get married due to many reasons. First things first marriage is about love, and if a law is the only thing holding a couple back is wrong. It does not hurt anyone, and everyone should be allowed to be happy.
