Should spitting in the street be banned? - 0 views

  •  
    Spitting in public places is disgusting, many Americans agree. Although it is a bodily function and is sometimes necessary, it should be banned in ALL inside public places, and banned also in places like on a sidewalk, or in the parkinglot. Unwanted germs can spread on someones' shoe and get in to their car.

Do Mandatory Seat Belt Laws Violate Individual Rights? - 0 views

  •  
    It is a well known fact that is is the federal law to wear a seatbelt when in a motor vehicle. This is due to the thousands that have died because they didn't wear one and got in an accident somehow. However, many feel that this law violated their personal rights. They are convinced that they should be able to wear one or not wear one. It should be up to them.

Is There a Right To Own a Gun? - 0 views

  •  
    Every American has a right to own a gun even though not every american exercises this right. Every American should rally to defend this right because owning a gun is one of the core values of being an American. To take this right away would be denying being an American.

Freedom of Dressing - 0 views

  •  
    Everyone knows that men and women dress differently. Typically, women dress more provocatively than men. However, people sometimes have to deal with naked civilians. Sometimes people go too far and that is why some stores, restaurant, etc., are strict on wearing shirts (for guys or girls), or shoes and so on.

    This article goes over the California laws on smoking in public. States have been banning smoking in public due to health problems of second-hand-smokers. California has already set up a law stating that a child has the right to breathe in only clean air. So, the law is that no one is allowed to smoke in an area where there is a minor under 18.

A Salad and A Pedometer - 0 views

  •  
    The number of obese children in america is growing every year. Kids are decreasing the amount of exercise they get and increasing food portions. Many studies have been done that prove this leads to heart problems. In a lot of homes in the US today, children are able to sit around and eat as much as they want, and what ever they want. This is a continuing problem because the children will carry this on to their children. Child obesity also leads to mental and emotional problems.

Romney make a passionate case for violating personal freedoms at state level - 0 views

  •  
    This article is a bash on the ObamaCare plan. It states that in places like Massachussetts and Maine the taxpayers are paying 20 percent more than they used to because they are also paying for others' medical bills. Many also say that Obama is trying to support "free riders" and is not making everyone be responsible for themselves.

Oregon No. 1 For Personal Freedom, Libertarians Declare - 0 views

  •  
    Recently, Oregon has been named the "top state in the union for personal freedom." Apparently they have no problem with people riding bikes naked, but smoking marijuana, a problem. However, another section of the article stated that rankings, or polls are "essentially meaningless jumble of arbitrary numbers."

Bum Rap On Spanking - 0 views

  •  
    A lot of controversy comes up on the matter of spanking children. A growing number of parents are using rather calm approaches to their kids misbehaving. Yet, many still spank their children and unfortunately, some do more. In public, though, it is a different story. Most people these days feel uncomfortable spanking their children in public because they feel like they're being judged.
