.... are more harsh than other worse crimes. Why should someone in the possession of an ounce of cocaine be given more time in jail than a rapist, or murderer? At least if you commit those crimes you can have the chance to appeal and get out on good behavior. Seriously what can be the good of keeping these laws? The worst thing about the is that they just don’t work. The enactment of these laws has not stopped the use or the sale of drugs, an new method for dealing with drug crimes is needed. This may mean more education, or more rehab facilities, or even still sending th .....

.... the 1930's for its dangerous effects. However, earlier and more primitive cultures were able to safely explore marijuana's usage for both medicinal and hallucinogenic properties. The usage of marijuana has existed for thousands of years in many countries world wide and can be documented as far back as 2700 BC in ancient Chinese writings. In the earlier cultures, marijuana usage was accepted and its effects documented. However, the United States government overlooked all of the information and banned the drug. Recently, however, there has been a resurgence in the opinion of .....

.... In New York State, possession of under four ounces of marijuana is a violation, and is punishable by only a ticket, and possible probation. Possession of four ounces or more can result in jail time. One argument in favor of legalizing marijuana is its potential use as medicine. Many of the effects marijuana has on the mind and body are helpful in fighting several diseases. Marijuana has often been used to help cancer patients ease the pain of chemotherapy. It is also used against AIDS. Many AIDS patients have very little appetite. The effect marijuana has on peop .....

.... needs to be proven. To defend against this, the accused could claim it was an accident, self-defence or consent of the victim. Consent is just if the victim said it was all right for the accused to do what he/she did. The other two are self explanatory. The maximum penalty is 5 years imprisonment, but commonly punishments include fines, good behaviour and community based orders. A recent case in Australia was of a man who was stabbed outside a nightclub by a group of people. Rape Rape is any introduction of any object into the vagina or anus of another person wit .....

.... not a first, and will receive the stiffer penalty for second offences. For the first offence here is the penalty and the defences you can make. Driving a vehicle while your ability to drive is impaired by alcohol or drugs is one of the offences. Evidence of your condition can be used to convict you. This can include evidence of your general conduct, speech, ability to walk a straight line or pick up objects. The penalty of the first offences is a fine of $50.00 to $2000.00 and/or imprisonment of up to six months, and automatic suspension of licence for 3 mon .....

.... the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. (Hofstadter, 1970) This brings us to the question: what is gun control and how far should our government go with these laws? You want to make the nation a safe place to live, but you also need to abide by the Constitution, which is the basis of our nation. As you can probably expect, there are many arguments on the pro side that are sound and quite relevant. Many of them are merely statistics that will help you see why many citizens demand a more staunch form of gun control. The first area of this pr .....

.... live in a moral community must be so highly honored that those who do not honor the life of others void their own right to membership. Those who violate the personhood of others, especially if this is done persistently as a habit must pay the ultimate price. This must be done for the sake of the community which was violated. We can debate whether some non-lethal alternative is a suitable substitute for the death penalty. But the standard of judgment is whether the punishment fits the crime and if it honors the nature of the moral community. LOVE AND AN IDEAL SPIRITUA .....

.... For example: 7-11? Once an American dream, before the Illegal Aliens came into the picture! Conceive that you walk wearily into a 7-11, yearning for a large Pepsi, filled with ice, and brimming with tiny bubbles popping at the surface. . . But no!! the cashier can only say, "Thank you, come again" in a bad accent. You've probably also taken an extensive trip once or twice along a barren interstate. But before leaving, you want to make sure your family doesn't starve on the journey. So you drive through at McDonalds, and order 2 big macs with cheese, 2 quarter pounders with .....
