Not everyone becomes addicted to marijuana. People only become addicted to it if they think they are. Marijuana doesn't create any physical dependence. People do drugs because they choose to, just because you do one drug that doesn't mean you are going to want to do a whole bunch of other drugs.

As we have seen through history prohibition does not work. If people want to do something they will find a way to do it wheather the government wants you to or not. With both alcohol and marijuana, they are substances that will only have a bad effect on your life if you use them in excess or in a non controlled manner. If the government would just legalize it they would be able to collect taxes on it and they would be able to keep much better control over it. That already happened with alcohal when it was legalized and I believe the same would happen with marijuana if the government legalized it. Also not allowing people to do something will cause people to become more curious about it.

WW1 was a very bloody and dirty war. Trench warfare was barbaric and many lives could have probably been saved if different fighting methods were used.

Just because the civil war never happened doesn't mean that African Americans would have never stood up for their rights. Eventually African Americans would have gotten their rights even without the civil war.

While education is important, many families needed their children to work back then so their family would have enough money to survive.

The U.S. would have many problems if we stopped trading with China. Most of the stuff we buy is made in China and we also are greatly in debt to China.

WW2 was Germany's fault. They are the ones who began the war and they killed Jewish people simply for just being Jewish.

Many other countries also had control in the Caribbean at the same time as us. Spain, France, Great Britain and the Netherlands also had claims in the Caribbean.

I do not believe the government should be able to censor the Internet. Our country is built around freedom of speech and expression and censoring the Internet would take that away.

Trench warfare was very brutal. Many soliders died because our technology was more advanced than our fighting style.

People moving west is what populated our entire country. We got land from many other nations so that we could have a unified country.

I disagree, we felt that we were the superior country and that we needed to get involved with other countries to make them more like us. If we had stayed out of other peoples business we probably could have avoided a few wars.

I agree, if we are ever going to get out of debt we need to focus on are own problems, because as we have been helping others our own country has been deteriorating.

They also wanted to go west because of the news of gold. They thought they could move out west, find a bunch of gold and strike it rich.

I agree, if it wasn't for yellow journalism the U.S. public could have been correctly informed and the war may have never started because they would have known the facts.

Who do you think will be the Republican presidential candidate? I personally believe Ron Paul is the best candidate on several different issues. For example, he is the only one who does not want to send our troops back to Iraq.

I also agree with you. Racism is a prejudice that people will always have. The fact that a person looks different than you is always a way that people will use to discriminate. Plus, some people cant help it they are raised in a racist family and they grow up with those beliefs.

I believe that the Panama Canal was a very good idea for the United States because it saved both time and money for people going from one coast to the other. It really boosted the economy on the west coast.

However, some families needed the money desperately and their children had to work wherever they can find a job. They had every right to work.

I agree, the panama canal offered many different advantages such as allowing ships to get from the east coast to the west coast of North America much faster. It also made things much more affordable to ship because the trip would be shorter.

However, at the same time without regulations to keep people from working a certain amount of hours per day families that desperately needed the money were able to work many hours to make enough money to allow their family to survive. Also, if you were careful and did your job correctly the working conditions should be just fine.

I believe the U.S. made the correct decision to enter WW1 when they did. If the U.S. had waited to enter the war later there is a chance that Germany and the Central powers could have won the European front. When the U.S. finally would have entered the war they would have had all of Europe to contend against.

I agree that Pinkertons are helpful. They keep the companies work force who aren't complaining from being harassed by the protesters.

If workers want to strike for better conditions then they should be able to voice their opinions and try to make a change.
