    I have heard it all now. This article talks about the fact that you need a permit to have a garage sale. On top of the permit you need to pay a fine. For what? you have to pay to sell your own stuff.

    The advantage of course is the price. The disadvantage is the amount of time a short sale can take. If you place an offer you need to plan ahead. It may take a couple of months to get an acceptance, and once accepted it can take 60 days or more to complete.

It brings up the argument of whether or not a person should be allowed to join an entirely female organization just because she identifies as female.

    it isn't new to the media circuit, but chick-fil-a doesn't support gay marriage. Gay rights groups and rallying against the restaraunt saying that if you support their busines you're supporting hate. There's people on both sides of the fence, but chick-fil-a was actually seeing a boost in sales after this "controversy."

    For young adults, the "right" to eat healthy food may be more closely associated with the right to understand how food choices impact their health. Without information and understanding, it can be argued that young people may not be in a position to advocate for themselves or to act in their own best interests. In this article, a secondary issue takes center stage: there are economic implications for the availability and sales of junk food to young adults.

    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.
  • Jessica Espinoza on 30 Aug 13
     
    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.
  • Jodi Coffman on 31 Aug 13
     
    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.
  • alexis morgan on 02 Sep 13
     
    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.

    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.
  • phebs14 on 22 Feb 15
     
    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.
  • nebulus369 on 23 Feb 15
     
    First, nice one Phebs. Now when it comes to this it should definetly be illegal, because it only leads to more problems.
  • phebs14 on 24 Feb 15
     
    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.

    President Obama's executive action to expand gun sale background checks has opened up a legal can of worms. Specifying he means that background checks were a joke before he came into office. Anyone was cable of buying a gun with with no worries since President Obama been in office its mandatory for everyone to get a background check before the purchase of the weapon.

    WASHINGTON - House Republicans vented their rage against Planned Parenthood on Friday, voting to block all federal financing for the organization, which they accused of profiting from the sale of aborted fetuses for medical research. It was unclear, however, if the vote would mollify conservative lawmakers who have threatened to force a government shutdown over the abortion issue.
