Gun Control

... to protect himself. A handgun carried concealed is a great way to offer that protection What advocates can't perceive is that laws are aimed at the legal buying and selling of guns.

Religion And Capital Punishment

... capital punishment in the eyes of the Catholic Church, God, and the entire body of creatures known as humanity. Damning capital punishment for its immoral nature would not be condoning the gruesome acts of the perpetrators, it is rather a means of identifying a morally wrong problem, which step is a prerequisite to taking steps to remedy the wrong.

Child Abuse

... had just met this woman and she's telling me she hits her son. She tried to justify it as discipline that got out of hand. She said she got upset because he called her an asshole. Let's remember this boy is five years old. He most likely doesn't even know what that word means. The woman left for work acting as if nothing major had occurred and I was left with a little boy with a huge bruise on his face for his first day at a new school.

Capital Punishment

... is that every person has an equal right to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." Within that framework, an argument for capital punishment can be formulated along the following lines: some acts are so vile and so destructive of community that they invalidate the right of the perpetrator to membership and even to life. A community founded on moral principles has certain requirements. The right to belong to a community is not unconditional. The privilege of living and pursuing the good life in society is not absolute. It may be negated ...

C., but it is clear that capital punishment more or less has existed since the birth of mankind (Szumski 25).
