.... do you mean?” Chad said, “l like Amy also, and whoever I liked no one tries stepping in, do you understand?” “Whatever dude” I said. Chad said, “Now listen, I like you and its is better off that way.” So naturally I did what I wanted to do, I asked Amy for her number. That weekend Amy and I went out on a date. I sure did have a good time. That following Monday, Chad heard about it that date and got very upset. Just after second period I heard someone yell out “HEY , YOU ARE GOING TO DIE” I sort of had an idea that said it, but I just ignored it and kept walki .....

.... younger age with no guarantee of a father by their side. Many girls are left with the responsibility of supporting young children financially, and many girls aren’t even ready for the responsibility of caring for another human being. In order to solve this teenage pregnancy problem society as a whole needs to come up with a solution that will guarantee that no unplanned, unwed, or under-aged teenage pregnancies occur. I have come up with a solution that I feel will eliminate this problem. Before any girl enters into elementary school it will be required by law that they get a vaccination shot that will ke .....

.... of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV), known in the mental health field as the clinician's bible, does not recognize battered women's syndrome as a distinct mental disorder. In fact, Dr. Lenore Walker, the architect of the classical battered women's syndrome theory, notes the syndrome is not an illness, but a theory that draws upon the principles of learned helplessness to explain why some women are unable to leave their abusers. Therefore, the classical battered women's syndrome theory is best regarded as an offshoot of the theory of learned he .....

.... still harmed, the family is still going to grieve, and someone must be punished” (Staff editorial 1). Whether a person is killed for money or drugs or out of hate or prejudice, the fact still remains that he or she has been killed. With hate crime laws, the hate is being looked at, more so than the crime itself. Even though hate is a terrible thing to have in your heart, all Americans have the right to hate whatever or who ever they want (Hudson 1). Besides, if officials start punishing hate or unholy thoughts, they might as well make a new category of crime— tho .....

.... arrested for driving while intoxicated. Under New York City's new drunken driving policy: motorists with a blood alcohol level of .10 percent -- the legal limit -- or higher will have their vehicles seized on the spot; while the motorist faces prosecution in criminal court, the vehicle seizure will be part of a separate proceeding in civil court under state forfeiture laws; because civil proceedings require only a preponderance of evidence for guilt -- rather than guilt beyond a reasonable doubt -- motorists acquitted of drunken driving in criminal court may .....

.... court decides to revisit it later. This case was brought up by sheriffs in Montana and Arizona who said that running background checks would take valuable time away from other law-enforcement duties. This is a valid argument in less densely populated areas of the country where doing checks would bring manpower to a below minimum level. This argument is not valid for large cities, however, because it is needed more there than anywhere else in the country. In large cities there are many more police officers and they can afford to put a few on duty doing these .....

.... tend to wear my seatbelt all the time. It became habit to jump in the car and buckle up. Without a seatbelt, I feel as though I am missing something and I feel completely naked without it. In the past fifteen years, I have, unfortunately, been a passenger in approximately ten car accidents. A few of these were significant enough to cause minor injuries. But in two specific cases, the police officer reminded the driver and myself of the luck we encountered by wearing seatbelts. I have been very lucky. On the other hand, I have had a few not so lucky friends .....

.... hockey for the rest of the season. Also a reason why I think professional athletes should receive such high salaries is that the athlete will not be playing the sport that they play for the rest of their life. Most athletes retire after the age of forty. And if that person does not have any skills, other than sports, then they need a way of support financially. Look at John Elway he retired this year. John Elway's wife has cancer and if John was not paid the high salary that he was paid he would not be able to pay for his wife's cancer treatment. The last reaso .....
