I think in many cases that pornography is a gateway to someo people becoming sexual predators...Kinda like marijuana being a gateway to try other drugs.
Another thing that would fix this county is our so-called "War on Drugs" . This is really only a war against the poor. If we wanted to really eliminate drugs we would target our efforts on the big guys and not these neighborhood drug pushers. It takes a lot to get these drugs into our country; however you rarely here about the head international drug smugglers and their supply chains. Why don't we stop this problem at the source?

That statement is complete and utter right wing propaganda. Marijuana is NOT a gateway to other drugs. It's the only so called drug out there that is not addicting and naturally available in its final form (meaning there is no processing involved) There is also substantial research that shows that marijuana has many positive benefits, not just in medicine where it has shown to be very effective in treating things from Cancer to Multiple Sclerosis, but also in industry, with all the useful products that can be made from hemp.

Capital Punishment is a Great answer. In Japan they still hang people in the street.
I agree. Bring back public execution and make it painful and slow. Maybe that'll actually deter people from committing the same crimes!

And their crime rate is lower by far.
america is the worlds number one producer of pshycopaths and sexual deviants. I can only think of one cause, pandering. they arent really going to be cured but if they know their unit is going to be burnt off or they are going to be summarily executed for doing what they do then they are less likly to do it. and the ones who do would only do it once. I personally would rather be wrongfully executed than have one child molested.

HAHAHA!!! I remember the days when I made that same argument! Wow, haven't seen those words in a while.
Oh, but you forgot how beer causes so many more deaths per year and yet IT'S still legal, and all that stuff...
Did I mention, LOL!!!

True, I forgot to mention that no one ever smoked themselves to death whereas people drink themselves to death every single day!

And all the car wrecks! All the unprotected ---, all the irresponsibilityness caused by alcohol. No benefits to alcohol at all, yet it's still legal.
Without a drug test, almost nobody loses their job with pot...etc...

i think this is the first thread i started without having any arguments started yeah, i agree with public execution theories what better way to make someone think twice about wronging someone, and the pot thing, if they would legalize that and make alcohol illegal i think there would be alot less unwanted pregnancies, car accidents, and spousal/child abuse plus numerous others, letskeep this one going thanks everyone...tobin

They do that. When your light turns red. All lights are red for a few seconds. Its not the people who run yellows but the people who run reds a few seconds after being red.

Marijuana does have some positive medical benefits; however most people that smoke it abuse it. After you smoke so much of it its harder to get high, so people are more likey to move on to other drugs that will give them a better high. No this doesn't happen in all cases but I bet you that most of the people who are addicted to drugs such as meth, heroin, cocaine, and etc...smoked marijuana first.
The problem we have as a country is over indulgence. We abuse everything and if you have everything its not enough, and you have to get more. Nothing is wrong with alcohol if you drink it on occasion and don't abuse it, the problem arises when people abuse it, the same thing is probably true about marijuana.

I just don't get why the opinions of the few people who oppose religion get to dictate their views on the majority who don't. I also don't get why they only teach you the theory of evolution and no other theory such as the universe was created by a supreme being.
Oh, it's not about a particular religion? Hmm...
Would you be so concerned if the prevailing religion of the US worshipped multiple gods? Do Muslims or Buddhists "oppose" religion?
...If so, that's news to me. Your statement expresses the exact reason for taking the Christian God out of school/government...it's extremely one-sided, unfair, and unequal.

what about the Athiests and Pagans? forcing prayer, swearing on bibles, "in god we trust" on money, etc...
I guess the one true answer that is going to answer the question is this:
We need to vote into office politicians that see the same way the every day public Joe sees. We all realize the country is screwed. The only way to fix it is to start with the laws and the way the laws are enforced.
