... 10). While all that is true, it does not compare to the effects of other harmful substances. For instance, alcohol’s cause of cirrhosis to the liver, and tobacco causes lung cancer and coronary heart disease. The plain fact that both tobacco and alcohol are carcinogens to speed up all cancers, are all good examples of how bad alcohol and tobacco can be. Alcohol is the source of half of highway fatalities, arrests, and homicide. Meanwhile it is accounted for a fourth of all suicides. The risk of mortality associated with pot is lower then that associated with cigarette smoking (National 151). When comparing the three, marijuana is not addicting, like alcohol and tobacco. In 1972 ...
... material, etc., but also tends to prolong the conversation. The longer the conversation, the more chance there is for a skill investigator to find out what he wants to know. Many times a police officer will ask you to accompany him to the police station to answer a few questions. In that case, simply thank him for the invitation and indicate that you are not disposed to accept it at this time. Often the authorities simply want to photograph a person for identification purposes, a procedure which is easily accomplished by placing him in a private room with a two-way mirror at the station, asking him a few innocent questions, and then releasing him. If the investigator becom ...
... be forced to be more strict and control their children because, as the ministers believe, parents are the key to reforming youngsters' behaviour.And that has to be done before they grow up, because there will be no conrolling them then.So no more anonymity, and no more "Blitz Boy" kind of nicknames which only glorify the young troublemakers and make them look like heroes, but full publication of offenders' genuine name.And we'll then see how many will dare doing something that will result in that. Because a thing like that not only humiliates the offender, but also destroyes his future, and eliminates his chances of finding a proper job. Yours faithfully ...
... lethal injection, then electrocution, the gas chamber, firing sqad, and hanging. Lethal injection is more humane because is less painful than others. A Leuther from FRED A. LEUTHER ASSOCIATES INC. who is specialized in the manufacture and restoration of electric chairs, gallows, gas chambers, and lethal injection system, said that in the future he would produce microwave helmets. It would destroy brain and all brain functions. It would shut down both the automatic and conscious nervous system. Within a second the executee’s brain would be cooked from the inside out. While executions are being abolished in most parts of the world (except Iran, Iraq, China, Yemen and some former Soviet s ...
... offence here is the penalty and the defences you can make. Driving a vehicle while your ability to drive is impaired by alcohol or drugs is one of the offences. Evidence of your condition can be used to convict you. This can include evidence of your general conduct, speech, ability to walk a straight line or pick up objects. The penalty of the first offences is a fine of $50.00 to $2000.00 and/or imprisonment of up to six months, and automatic suspension of licence for 3 months. The second offence penalty is imprisonment for 14 days to 1 year and automatic suspension of licence for 6 months. The third offence penalty is imprisonment for 3 months to 2 years (or more) and automatic sus ...
... of the murderers. Another concern of executing murderers is the possibility of killing an innocence person. With our improving technology, what we now believe is beyond reasonable doubt might a verdict filled with errors in the future. One very good example of this is the recent acquitting of a man jailed for raped and the murder of a girl. If he was executed at the time, he would of never had the chance to prove his innocence with the D.N.A. tests. He as an innocence man would have been killed. Legalizing execution for the punishing of murderers is a very important decision for Canadians to make. The result of the decision will decide of government have the right to kill its citizens. ...
... "super predators"; young people, often from broken homes or so-called dysfunctional families, who commit murder, rape, robbery, kidnapping, and other violent acts. These emotionally damaged young people, often are the products of sexual or physical abuse. They live in an aimless and violent present; have no sense of the past and no hope for the future; they commit unspeakably brutal crimes against other people, often to gratify whatever urges or desires drive them at the moment and their utter lack of remorse is shocking.(9) Studies reveal that the major cause of violent crime is not poverty but family breakdown - specifically, the absence of a father in the household. Today, ri ...
... worth more than others. When the value of life is lessened under certain circumstances such as the life of a murderer, what is stopping others from creating their own circumstances for the value of one's life such as race, class, religion, and economics. Immanual Kant, a great philosopher of ethics, came up with the Categorical Imperative, which is a universal command or rule that states that society and individuals "must act in such a way that you can will that your actions become a universal law for all to follow" (Palmer 265). There must be some set of moral and ethical standards that even the government can not supersede, otherwise how can the state expect its citizens not to ...
... case should be held at a later date when President Clinton is no longer in office. It takes away from his job which is to run the United States of America. Fifteen years ago, the Supreme Court blocked a damage suit against Richard Nixon with a five to four vote finding that the president is immune from being suied for his official acts. If the president gets in trouble, the whole nation is also in trouble because after all we did elect him. Our confidence in our political leaders will suffer, and out system of government will be impacted negatively. If Paula Jones is allowed to sue the president, then others may follow, creating an even greater impact on the president and his duties. ...
... Has there ever been an American culture? If a culture does or did exist it is then a mixture of the many subcultures brought to the United States by immigrants. However, each subculture added has substantially made the American culture richer. An incredible example is the broad range of cultural foods found in the United States. In how many other countries throughout the world can you go to almost any given city and find Italian, Chinese, Japanese, French, Tex-Mex, Cajun, and Mexican food. Economically we can not afford to decrease the annual rate of immigration that we have. False statements that are passed between many Americans about immigrants are complaints that we are pa ...
