Regulating Eugenics - 0 views

  •  
    Despite how people feel about eugenics whether it be that it is morally wrong or unnecessary they United States will always be faced with this issue of how to regulate it. For many years people have tried to eugenics under wraps so nothing can be done with it, but as we all know there are loop holes and where there is a will there is a way, and people have found ways around them and thus gotten genetic engineering regulated. *Unfortunately the group who wrote it chose to not reveal an author sadly so hard for a bibliography.

    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.

Health Care reform - 0 views

  •  
    This article summarizes 10 top facts about Health Care Reform. Insurance companies will regulate more heavily. they will be told the minimum for services that they will cover. Everyone will have health insurance or they must pay a fine. Employers will be mandated to provide insurance to the employees or they will be fined also. Which sounds good to me, my employer thinks he doesnt have to give anything at all.

Europes Privacy Laws and How It Will Impact U.S. Companies - 0 views

  •  
    How the European Union (EU) decides to move forward with their online privacy laws in regard to personal information, will greatly impact how the U.S. proceeds with theirs. The "economic partnership" between the two nations are so heavily intertwined, that legislations across seas will impact U.S. companies. The EU has implemented legislations protecting the rights of online customers. Meanwhile, in the U.S., companies have been reluctant to work with the government in providing U.S. online customers the same protection, because the majority of their profits stem from online advertising. These advertisements work so well because companies have been able to track consumer activities and in turn cater to them according to their habits. Implement government regulations that prevent big companies from doing that and their profits will plummet.

The Issue is Freedom, Not Soft Drinks - 5 views

  •  
    The subject of the child obesity epidemic has been high in the last 4 years. Did the government have to right to force what is or isnt allowed to be served, sold, and purchased on school campuses? This artical has it all explained pretty well.

    Jonathan S. Tobin is a well know Journalist who has won over 50 journalism awards and has had his articles posted in papers such as the NY Times and USA Today talks about how the governments is slowing taking away our freedom. The fact that the government feels they have the right to to tell us what we can or can not eat is amazing to me. To ban soda just because it is bad for you is unreal. If Americans chose to dink soda then that is their choice and they have to deal with the consequences. 
  •  
    Mayor Bloomberg(New York) banned all sugared soft drinks in containers over 16 ounces, because they are thought to be the main cause of obesity. People are outraged, not because they can't have soft drinks, but because a grown adult should be able to make their own decisions.
  •  
    New York City Mayor Bloomberg struck what he claims is another blow for the cause of public health yesterday by announcing a ban on the sale of all sugared drinks in containers that measure larger than 16 ounce servings. Although sugared drinks may cause weight gain, we as Americans should have the choice to drink as much as we want.
  •  
    I agree that it should be an individuals right to choose what they consume or do not consume. There needs to be more education as to how drinking soda in excess effects the body. The child obesity issue is getting out of control as children spend a lot of time using electronic devices rather than going outside to play. I also think that because of fast paced lifestyles and both parents having to work to support the family, children consume more convenience foods/drinks. I think the responsibility is on the individual to make healthy choices not for government to infringe on our personal rights.
  •  
    "... medical costs of the illnesses caused by drinking, eating and smoking are affected in one way or another by the public and that gives government the right to regulate and/or ban such items." I get why they are doing it, I really do. This is a personal freedom I think we should regulate ourselves. This article does have good points. I get sometimes we do need help, but why not attack the big soda companies as well.
  •  
    New York City Mayor is trying to ban sugar drinks that are larger than 16 ounces because it is one of the main causes of obesity. People argue that although they agree with the fact that soft drinks are indeed unhealthy, the government should protect the freedom of the people.
  •  
    taking away the drinks are going too far but the idea is right, obesity is a huge problem in the US and although it is an argument of freedom to eat, drink etc whatever you may please but when it comes to health that is a whole differnt concern.

Tattoos and Law Enforcement - 0 views

  •  
    In this article there are examples of situations that arose that caused employers (law enforecement) to regulate if or what types of tattoos are allowed if employed by them. The author also discusses the fact that "there is no constitutional right to display tattoos at work". Employers have the right to regulate if they hire someone based on their tattoos and may face liability issues if they hire someone with an offensive tattoo.

Gun Control Timeline - U.S. Government Info/Resources - 1 views

  •  
    This article shows the timeline of the governments plans for gun control laws over the years
  •  
    I feel like the gun control that is currently in place is good, but we need to help people get trained for better safety if a situation arises!
  •  
    Gun control in my opinion should be regulated, not be taken away from the rights of Americans. Some people can be dangerous with huge amounts of firearms without regulations.

Ban on Happy Meals with Toys - 0 views

  •  
    This law was proposed in order to fight childhood obesity. It was vetoed, however. This is such a close argument I can see one going either direction, but it is a private company so they do have the right to regulate their own menu. Parents also have the right to make smart decisions.
