    Why the Death Penalty is a Good Thing

    I would say that they are apples and oranges. Leeching blood was junk science that, if anything, worsened whatever urgent medical issue was at hand. Whether or not the death penalty should exist or not or whether or not it should be carried out within public view is not the same thing as...

    Why the Death Penalty is a Good Thing

    When did I blast liberals...? If you didn't notice, I am a liberal myself.

    Should prostitution be legal?

    Best point I've seen made all day on here. I hear this argument all the time, coming from both the libertarian right and the left in general. The fact remains that every law is based at least somewhat on a sense of morality. Hence why things like murder and rape are illegal; it's because they're...

    Why the Death Penalty is a Good Thing

    I'm not quite sure why this issue has become so controversial over the years. I have always believed in the generalized principle of "an eye for an eye", and although it is a "biblical concept", my understanding of it is from an entirely secular point of view. The fact remains that if an...

    Kris Humphries told ex that Kim Kardashian's sex tape was staged by her own mother

    Re: Kris Humphries told ex that Kim Kardashian's sex tape was staged by her own mothe Wouldn't surprise me, especially from a family that's famous for...what? Being related to someone who defended a celebrity in a hotly contested court case from twenty some-odd years ago? Not to mention the...

    Do the Rich Pay Their Fair Share of Taxes in the United States?

    Absolutely agreed. In my opinion, a true patriot understands that taxation (at reasonably levels) is necessary and vital for a strong and functioning society to flourish. Sometimes taxes must be raised for the good of the nation. While it makes a wonderful political talking point to say you're...
