Prohibition doesnt work. Today marijuana is not exceppted by our government system and is illegal. But people do not seem to care because if you walk through most towns and ask for marijuana, your are able to get it within 30min.

Alcoholl makaing helps our socioty by creating jobs and making profit off of it because so many people drink.

yes but it also caused a war which killed thousands of Americans. i think that it distroyed our country

The government over exaggerated on how other countries were so bad and what they were doing even though it wasn't.

yes they found out and then wanted nothing to do with it. If they had know what it was like before the go into it. they wouldnt have even bothered.

i think that slavery was one of the worst things that happened in America.

i think that we should worry about our own problems before helping other countries. all the millions of dollars and tons of water and food we send to other countries that have natural disasters. We have millions of people that are starving and homeless that could use all of that aid

now it does. every country that does not like us thinks we are trying to over power them or take control

i also agree. i thnk that most of the wars we have entered have been pointless. most of them we have nothing to do with and the others that we do have to do have been over stupid situations

yes but i think that you pretty much have to work 40 hours a week to survive. Now a days everything is so exspensive that you have to work to live.

The Revolutionary War let other countries know that the US wasn't going to back down; the Spanish American war just showed that we were wreckless, didnt care about others and our own people

i agree. if we were imperialistic toward china, we would want all their land or want to take control of them. All we want is to get good from them

Entering the war for us was kind of pointless. All it did was cause problems and get a lot of our people killed.

yes but it was also the fact the most of it was faught very close to one another. A lot of the war was in the trenches and that was just a mess.

Yes and if it wasn't for christopher columbus there might still be the Native Americans and America might still be nice and wildlife everywhere. i think that America would be a better place besides the fact the none of us wouild probably be here right now.

I agree, and i do think they are in it mostly for money. yes they are in it for the land but the majority of it is for money.

I think spanish american war was kind of foolish. Yes the United States wanted more land but they shouldnt of had to fight for it. They could have made a treaty to share the land. I think that the US is way to greety.

i do not think that it was a good idea. yes it saved money but a life is worth a lot more than a canal.

I agree, i think that they staged it also so they had a reason to start a war. They wanted land and that was a motive for them to start a war.

I agree, I think that they wanted to get as much land as they could so they would fight against anyone and wouldnt stop until they won.

We wanted the land that the Spanish had so it was a easy way to make it look like we were under attack. It would make sense to create a reason to attack when we wanted land. We knew we could win and if we won we would get the land.

I think that the United States blew up the USS Maine own ship to give them a reason to fight the Spanish.

Progressives are taking are rights away. I think that they are taking jobs away by trying to outlaw the sale of alcohol and other products. I think that we need to make more jobs because the unemployment rate is a lot lower than it should be.

I disagree because an employer isnt going to fire a person who has been there a long time if that person does a good job and works hard everyday. I think the employer should have the right to fire somone if they are not working as hard. If an employee works but not to their full potential then they should be fired so a person that will work their hardest everyday can have the job.

True, but I dont think an employer is going to fire a worker for no reason because that is just another thing that the employer has to do. Most employers dont want to do anything. If a person gets fired then they probablly did somthing that got them fired.

I think that if the government is going to take money away from people they should have to take it from everyone, not just a certain group.

I agree, I think that they should be able to come to America because they will work more hours than Americans want to work. They will work longer and get paid less. American are compaining because they think that they are working to many hours and not paid enough.

Yes, but if immigrants are willing to work harder than Americans then they should be able to come here. I think that they should be able to come here because they are willing to work hard and get paid whatever I want to pay them. If you want your job back then you have to prove that you will work a lot harder then what they are working.

I am for the immigration reform because being a business owner I can pay them less because they are immigrants. They will be happy making whatever I choose to pay them. I also think this is a good idea because it helps me find better working people and stronger people the will get the job done faster. I want the job done as fast as possible so I can make more money.

I think that if they are willing to work long ours and have a tough job you should let them. Plus, the more ours they work the more money they will bring home and that will help the family even more.

Yes but dont you want your kids to help out and bring money home to support the family. I think that the kids should go out and get a job to help bring in money.

I am against this bill because as a business owner I want everyone that is willing to work to be able to work. Especially kids because they will do more because they give in more to pressure and I can pay them less than an adult. Kids should be able to choose if they want to work or not and if they want to work then let them work. They are trying to help out with their families.

Then those children shouldn't be working and if they chose to work that is their problem. They are also getting paid for their work so they should complain.

The business owner should be able to pay you whatever they feel like because if you dont work very hard then they should be able to pay you less. I think that they should be able to pay you whatever they think that you earned.

I agree, I also think that the amount of money we pay a worker should depend on the level of work that they do. If they work hard then they should get the full $7.25 but if they do not work very hard then we should be able to pay them what we think they earned. To keep my business running I wanted the people who work the hardest and work hard all the time. Those people will then get paid the full $7.25

I disagree because what if you are not a very hard worker. If you don't work very hard them I am losing money by paying you when I could find someone else who will work harder and I can pay them the same as I pay you. I think the amount of money you make an hour should depend on how hard and how much you work.

Yes we are wealthy business owners, but you will have more money if you work more hours. You are getting paid for all of the hours you work. If you bring home more money your family will be happy because you will be able to afford more things

Being a wealthy business man, I want to make as much money as I can so I want to pay my workers very little. I want to pay them the least amount possible because if I pay them more them I'm just losing money that should be im my pocket.

I am a wealthy business man and I think that the 60 hour week is better because they are getting paid for working and if they work longer, the business will be better because it is up and running longer. I want my business to make money and by having people work longer we can get ahead of schedule and make more than other companies. By making more product the company itself can be better because it will have tons of money that it can use to upgrade and make it able to run better.
