Three Issues-

1. The first amendment should protect pornography from government censorship.

I am greatly against a specific topic in this issue; I am against the ratings of movies limiting the audience that can attend the event greatly. Being a fourteen year old I love to go to the movies. But I can only see movies that are rated pg-13 at the movie theaters. There’s going to be many movies that are rated pg-13 that I will like and hate. But there is always going to be more R rated movies that I can’t see. The movies that are rated R can be rated that for very small reasons. I would love it if the government would stay out of movie ratings for the economy and businesses to make more money. Also for all of us children to live our lives to the fullest in movie watching experiences.

2. The death penalty is a cruel and unusual punishment

I believe that no one deserves to die. If someone killed a love one of yours and you had a choice to kill the murder what good would it do to kill him? It would go from injuring you family to injuring yet another family because of the death. You have to understand that one death won’t affect one family. That family has cousins, sisters, and friends that would be affected. Those friends also have relatives that could be affected by one death. So ask yourself, would you rather have another branch of human beings go through the death of a love one isn’t to make yourself feel better?

3. The giving of a prayer before public school sporting events, activities, and other programs should be aloud.

I believe that a prayer before a sporting event, or something along the lines should be aloud. You could ask any child if they cared about a brief prayer before a sports event and they would all say no. Even further, if a child did care he wouldn’t be forced to do it. Also it would depend on the coach if he was a bit religious or not. The children could also use it as a morale booster to make them feel better and that they can win this game easily. What I am trying to say is that it can’t hurt for a little prayer at sporting events.
