Should and Killer Be Murdered?

This question brings me back to the question i asked in class last week. I ask if God looks at killing by execution as a violation of one of the 10 commandments that say thou shall not kill. Ludicrous and immoral is the way that the action of murder is looked at so why shouldn't the person who killed be punished? I don't necessaraly disagree with the solution of execution but I don't understand how to look at it from a religious point of view. I do believe that if a person has the courage to kill some one than they should know that their soul is already condemed to hell, so its like they're already dead. As far as cruel and unusual punishment goes, it was cruel and unusual for innocent people to have to die so i think that people on the death penalty are getting exactly what they deserve (if they actually comitted the crime). Execution is the courts way of dealing with it for the people sake. The people who want justice to be served now not on judgement day(if they believe in this). But in my opinion, in God's eyes its already taking care of.

Oh No He Didn't!!! Yeah I Think He Did

As of this week we are examining the fine points of America's Constitution. Obama gave a speech earlier this week and was called a liar by U.S. Rep Joe Wilson. Former President Cater stated that, "The act was based on racism and rooted in fears of a black president". I feel as if he does have a point in what he said because the comment was made by a white male. No one ever voiced that President Bush was a liar when it came to his alligations of weapons of mass destruction even though they all thought he was lying. I dont believe that anything would have been said about President Obama's accidental lies if he were President Obama the 45th white male president of America instead of President Obama the first Black President Of America.

When Kanye West voiced his opinion about who he believed should have won the MTV music award I deemed it ignorant. That complies with my right to free speech just as Kanye exercised his on Sunday night. I don't think they'er questioning his rights at all. All they are doing is using their right to free press and free speech. The media is not handeling the situation in a neutral way because they are all on Taylor Swift's side. They are not taking the 1st amendment into consideration they are looking at morals. No one has came out and said," Well that's just Kanye for you, always doing some out rageous, ignorant, and rude." Thats what I said when I first saw it but to each is own. He is a talented person who needs to find himself again. The media has turned on him and its basically going to turn and bad situation into a worst one.

Ohhhbama!!!

On September 8 2009 the president addressed the students of america. Obama's goal was to speak to the young people and get their attention about why they should stay focused in school. I believe that the president did reach his goal to those who were allowed to watch the broadcast. Most of the teens today our for President Obama so they will tend to listen. It was a monumental monment because no other president has ever tried to reach out to the student during their classes. What I got from his speech was that school is difficult but you need it to succeed. If you try your hardest you will most likely get what you deserve; a diploma and a good career. This speech did change america's view on education because we see that if he can over come obsticals so can america.

John Locke's Social Contract Comparison

A social contract is an exchange of promises between two parties. In John Locke's writing he basically states the rights that he believe should be giving to the people such as laws designed for the good of the people etc. In a social contract you would promise some of the same things for instance, if i offer you "this", you can offer me "that". He also believes in natural rights which in a typical social contract could be defined as a benefit. Natural rights are rights inherent in human beings, not depedent on government. Many of Locke's view in his contract can be compared to that of a social contract.
