.... government taking away someone's breathing rights? The Bible states "Thou shalt not kill," and this being a sin should have to be amended within oneself. However, the Bible also states "Don't judge others' personal convictions." It is the government's responsibility to punish people that disobey the law to keep our world in tact but is it their right to take away their lives?

So if the government stands strongly by this statement that's on the dollar bill, may they line up all the liars, adul .....

.... death penalty. At this juncture of time, the question of it being just was answered by the majority - and the majority rules.

.... and Mosaic law endorsed the notion of retaliation; they believed in the rule of "an eye for an eye." Similarly, the ancient Egyptians, Assyrians, and Greeks all executed citizens for a variety of crimes. The most famous people to be executed are Socrates and Jesus. Only in England, during the reigns of King Canute (1016-1035) and William the Conqueror (1066-1087) was the death penalty not used, although the results of interrogation and torture were often fatal (Kronenwetter 12).

.... was an argument between teens there was a fistfight, now it is a gunfight. Many are blaming T.V and video games putting ideas in the children’s heads. Cartoons are getting more violent, before kids watched educational T.V like Barney, now it is shows like Mech wars.

.... of individuals, but in order to eliminate the occurrence of rape from our society, we must first examine its causes more deeply so that we can take collective action.

A dozen states in the Middle West and Northeast have abolished capital punishment, two in the last century (Michigan in 1847, .....

.... let's make a shift in terms and distinguish between them. A person voluntarily commits to use any prohibited by law drug. Despite the consequences of such action, the person continues using it. Eventually, some type of physical or mental harm occurs within that person's body, thus, the occurrence of changes in health is the result of one's free choice. Any of the above stages can be easily applied into mother-child scenario.
