You may say that profiling is wrong, but what if doing so saves lives? I am not discriminating against a ceartain race or religeon, but in most recent terrorist attacks, there has been a common race and religeon. If we take this information and use it in airports and other high risk places we could save lives. Stepping up security on profiled individuals may make security longer and make things more stressful, but people should be prepared for that. If profiling saves lives then it should be used.

I believe the ONLY reason torture should be used is if it is absolutely necessary. Necessary, for example, say you have a person that has valuble information about a murder, or they know something about a hostage. That would be maybe one of the only circumstances where torture should be justified. You may try and argue that if someone hurts you, that you should just turn the only cheek. But when a human life is in the balance, i don't care about my "cheek." My final statement is that torture should only be justified when it is a matter of life or death.

If students got to choose which high school they attended there would most likely be massive overcrowding. Everyone wants to go to the best schools, but they also want to be with their friends. You would have all of the jocks going to best athletic schools, and etc. This would also created horrific transportation problems. Kids from Irving trying to get to a school in Plano, then some people from Dallas trying to go to school in Fort Worth. FIrst of all this would just add to the congestion of the metroplex's highways. Secondly, if you have kids that their parents can't take them, you have busses going from city to city trying to pick up all the skragglers. The only exception i see is if your district has a magnet school and you are accepted.

Just because a president is popular doesnt mean that they are doing what is good for our country. A president may have ceartain qualities that people like, but they may be spending monney on wasteful things or be sending troops to where they dont need to be. And also if a president makes a promise, they should be able to fulfill it in those two terms. They should know how long they can potentially be in office and know their limitations.

I do not believe that presidents should be allowed to serve more than two terms. First of all, I believe that after eight years of being in office the president may end up becoming a dictator. I am not putting Obama down, but as an example, from my point of view the government is taking over everything. They took over GM, they bought out banks, now they even passed a law about how the NCAA does playoffs. Secondly, just because a president is liked, doesn't mean they are doing what is good for our country. Some presidents are liked by a majority of people, but they have only hurt our country. Allowing more than two terms would just make it more likely that the "popular" candidate would get reelected, therefore potentially giving them the oppurtunity to hurt our country more.

I do support the deportation of illegal immigrants because they are coming in and taking away potential jobs and money from legal United States citizens. It could be argued that the process of becoming legal is too long or expensive, but it is something that must be done. Deporting illegal immigrants helps to open jobs up to legal citizens, and it also helps lower the crime rate.
