Marijuana With the United States recovering from a painful recession‚ the fiery debate over the legalization of marijuana has once again come to the forefront of American politics. The arguments from both sides are valid and convincing. For some‚ it’s a simple moral issue. For others‚ it delves deep into issues of personal freedom and economical wellbeing.

If “retardchicken” had to partake in an ethical argument against CD piracy‚ I think he would have a very easy time based on the perennial duties we should all live by.

ISIS to torture people for the intelligence that they needed? Well anyone with the right mind would answer‚ no of course it’s not ok for ISIS to torture for intelligence‚ That is where you have your answer. Due to the fact that all arguments have two sides‚ if one argument doesn’t fit with one side‚ it must not fit with the other.
