I dont think that prohibition ever worked or ever will work. Limiting people to something they have easy access to such as alcohol or even drugs today, makes them want to more. People are always trying to break the law and always take it as far as they can until they get caught. During history, prohibtion never slowed anyone down. I believe that their should be laws against using drugs or drinking alcohol while operating vehicles because it impares your judgement and many other things. But can we really stop people from using marijuana today? Shouldnt we be more worried about the cops catching rapists or murderers and not trying to catch someone for smoking marijuana that isnt affecting other people. I also think that doing it publically should be illegal because it can affect others around you. Even though it isnt right and morally we know that we shouldnt hurt our bodies, we can't stop everyone from doing it and it is never going to be stopped so we need to worry about other more important crimes.

The twin towers was a spark on the war today just like the USS Maine in the Spanish American war. The only difference is that we had evidence that Iraq and the Al Quaida did it and the Spanish were never proven guilty for blowing up the Maine

They were all told that they were supposed to go to war to support their nation and werent really sure why they were there. This is probably one of the reasons that they lost because with soldiers not knowing what they were supposed to do, they werent going to know how to fight and what they were fighting for

This link shows other effects of the war including the fight over Cuba and Puerto Rico. That shows that the explosion wasnt the only thing that started the war

There are some signs of racism seen every day by name calling and the racist jokes that are being said. I believe that it begins with the parents of the children. The children learn from their parents and if they hear their parents talking about it they will bring it to school and spread it to others. The only way we can stop it is by getting the adults so grow up and not be racist

I agree that it is all the knew. They were taught that the were doing it for their families and I think that this made them feel more like adults and like they werent children anymore.

I think that even without it we would have began the war because we already had major tension before that. The Zimmerman Telegram did spark the war at the end but other things could have happened besides the telegram that could have possibly sparked it if the telegram was never sent

I believe that it can be a distraction sometimes but it definately allows you to research more and gain more information from other sites. I think that it depends on the people that are using it.

Yea this is true but why? why do you think that though? I think that they showed it by bringing the war into another country and by beginning the war in the first place. The yellow journalism began the war and the US could have stayed out of it but instead the went to fight Spain over something that may never have happened. The "explosion" of the USS Maine

This is true because the Canal shotened the trip extremely and let us use less gas which saved alot of money because of the high prices of oil.

This sounds right because they are trying to get oil from the middle east and by doing that they have to take out other countries. They want power all the time and the should come to agreements instead of always wiping others out. http://www.thedebate.org/thedebate/iraq.asp

I think Imperialism is a good thing because if you want to be a great country you need power. You can't be the best without the most power. And even though it caused wars, it was countries trying to become the best. Everyone wants to be the best at what they do and you have to be good or powerful to do it.
