I think you are right there, Addy. There's no reason why Matt Fraser had to write his speech the way he did, or deliver it in the manner which he did. His choice to do so disrupted the learning of others, and so I agree with the Supreme Court's decision. Fraser overexercised his freedom of speech and did so unnecessarily.

But sometimes the only punishment that is suitable for a person's crimes is the death penalty. Take, for example, Ted Bundy, the mass murder. He died on January 24, 1989 in an electric chair. You can't say he didn't deserve to die after taking the lives of over 30 other people!

Such a controversial topic, Morgan... I agree with you that you shouldn't have the right to take the life of a human being before it is born. But then again we have the case in which the woman was raped, and has no means to support the child, nor a want/will/desire/etc. Should she have to go through with the pregnancy? If you say yes, then you are forcing on her the burden of childbirth and either putting the newborn up for adoption or caring for it. If you say no, then the human being will lose its life... to be honest, I couldn't decide one way or the other.

Sorry April, but I have to disagree with you on this one. In order to get a concealed carry permit, a person must pass a background check and pay a fee. With such a great responsibility attached to this permit, any infraction such as misuse would be punished severely. If a person who had a concealed carry permit decided to, for some reason, shoot an innocent person, you can be certain that the shooter would go to jail and possibly recieve a death sentence. People who carry a concealed weapon do so because they want to prevent crime, not start it.

Exactly Maggie! Every person should get treated the same way, their sexuality shouldn't be a factor. There's no reason why we can't treat LGBT people the same way we treat heterosexual people! Two of my friends that I know of are homosexual, and they are awesome people! They don't have a problem with the way others think about them, because they are proud to be who they are, and I think that's a great thing!

I don't think Obama needs a chance; he had 4 years to change this country for the better and where did we go? The opposite direction. We spent more, and fell deeper into debt with him more than any other president this country has seen. Do I think this is ALL necessarily HIS fault? No, but he is partly responsible. I don't think he needs a "chance" because we already gave him one.

I agree with you, Maggie. Nothing is changing, nothing is getting fixed, etc. It isn't necessarily just Obama's fault either; there are so many people arguing and taking sides that people are now caring more about the political aspect of the issue of debt and less about resolving it. Every day our country spends more and more, and each branch is responsible in part for pulling the country down a little further, merely because they aren't helping America pull herself out of this hole. The branches of government are quite necessary, but they aren't doing much good right now.

Obama has not done anything specific in order to get himself impeached. Yes, I think he is not helping America at all, but that doesn't mean that we can just take him out of office; you have the chance to do that at the next presidential election. I don't think he did anything he promised to do while campaigning for the presidency, but you can't exactly expect this entire country to pull itself out of debt overnight. It's still going to take a fairly long time to get out of debt, if we ever do.

Exactly. The main group of people that are pushing for weed to become legalized are not terminally ill, they just want to get high. There shouldn't be any reason why weed has to be legalized other than for medicinal purposes. Take California as an example, if you say you have a headache, you can get weed. The people that are dealing it out know you aren't sick, you just want the drugs. In my opinion, that should be illegal.

You are missing the point completely. Any individual with a criminal record CANNOT GET A CONCEALED CARRY PERMIT OR OWN ANY FIREARMS. You have to be a very responsible person to carry. The right to concealed carry is not something that is taken lightly and many steps are taken to make sure that right is NOT ABUSED. Why would you want to kill an innocent person just because you can? You can go to jail for many years or even recieve the death penalty for doing so.
