1. If people want to poison themselves with cigarettes, they should be free to do so, as long as it isn't directly harming the health of anybody else. Just another example of the left wingers trying to engineer society into what a few perceive as a proper utopia.
2. That's BS. If a kid can't get away from getting tagged, he
should feel like a loser. He is a loser. He lost. He should be taught to keep trying, and make himself better so he won't lose again.
3. The pledge should stay. If you don't believe in the "under God" part, don't say it. Simple enough. That's what I did when I was in school.
4. If kids, as a group or alone, want to pray for whatever reason, they should be able to. But nobody should be forced to join in a school wide prayer. Nor should there BE a school wide prayer. Organized prayer ran by the school = unconstitutional. Plain and simple.
5. Plenty of people can drive just fine with a cell phone. Those who are irresponsible enough to not pay attention to the road regardless of any in-car activities will not become responsible when the inanimate object is removed.
6. OMG! Allowing consenting adults to marry one another even if religion A or B doesn't approve! FREEDOM IS DYING! OUR RIGHTS ARE BEING TRAMPLED! AHHHHH!
Just another example of the right wingers trying to engineer society into what a few perceive as a proper utopia.
Obviously you personally don't approve of homo or bisexuality. Fine and dandy, certainly your right to voice your displeasure. But forcing somebody with a different sexual orientation to live as sub-standard citizens by removing the same rights and abilities a heterosexual person has is the very core, the very essence of tyranny. Don't fool yourself into thinking that just because you hold the opposite end of the political opinion than the left on same sex marriage that you're the good guy, or pro-liberty. You're not. You're just a different flavor tyrant than them.
