The legal drinking age for the U.S. should be lowered if the situation is being supervised in certain environments. Many drink underage to "rebel" against society norms so lowering the age would not call for such rebellion. Binge drinking would not take place if environment is being supervised.

Should the legal drinking age in the US be lowered to 18? Articulates that young adults should be allowed to drink in a controlled environment.

I agree and don't think it is any different than teaching young adults how to have safe sex if they choose to have sex. If someone is going to choose to drink at 18, 19, or 20 or 40 for that matter they should be held responsibile for their actions at any age. Why do the laws say purport that a person is an adult at age 18, can drive at age 16, but can't drink until 21? I think it's hypocritical to say someone is an adult at age 18 BUT, you can't drink until your 21.

Many insurance do not cover midwife care in their policies.Midwife access is also limited in hospitals and many states limit the access and privileges of midwives. With healthcare costs on the rise, many families are looking at midwifery which is a far less expensive option than that of an OB. In other countries midwives do a majority of the births and maternity care which results in a fraction of the US costs.

Here's an interesting article about a study that found that births assisted by midwifes can help lower healthcare costs. It makes sense, since it would be more expensive to deliver a baby in a hospital. http://www.wiley.com/WileyCDA/PressRelease/pressReleaseId-107254.html

The Stand Your Ground Laws provide the right to self protection in the event of emergencies. This set of laws provides security to individual citizens seeking protection for themselves and their loved ones;while providing an outlet to the would-be criminal persecution that ensues following a controversial arms related incident. The victim in question will be protected from criminal persecution under theses laws, and the perpetrator will be tried and treated as such.

In an attempt to preserve all that they believe is great about a free and just America, Arizona has opened US culture to two words that previously were the exclusive province of Nazi Germany and the communist bloc: "Papers, please."

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.

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?

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.

The law will go into effect on Sept. 1, 2007. A law originally enacted in 1973 required Texans to attempt to retreat when criminally attacked.

The Second Amendment - "A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed" - mentions nothing about self-defense. In modern American politics, however, much of the gun rights debate has centered on the aspect of using guns for defense of life and property.

When people sign up for an account on a social media website, they agree to terms in which it states that your information could be used for anything they wish for.
