.... his favor on the emotional distress claim, stating that he should be awarded compensatory and punitive damages. The Court of Appeals agreed by rejecting Hustler Magazine, Inc.'s argument that the “actual malice” standard of New York Times Co. v. Sullivan had to be met before Falwell could sue for emotional distress. However, because the jury decided that the ad didn't describe actual events, it was considered an opinion protected by the First Amendment. The court ruled that the issue was whether or not that opinion was outrageous enough to be considered an intentional infliction of emotional distress and awarded Falwell money. This case then went to the U.S. S .....

.... with armed robbery and sentenced to 15 years in prison, why should they be released in five years or less? We must make criminals pay for their crimes. If individuals are incarcerated for the full length of their given sentence, I believe that there will be less repeat offenders and an overall smaller crime rate. Some say that if we cut down on prison terms we will save loads of tax money. There will be less need to build, maintain, and expand existing staff if there are fewer prisoners. But how much more can we cut these sentences, aren't they short enough already? The average jail sentence is seven years and eleven months, but the actual average tim .....

.... feel that the arguments against it are not at all convincing. Some people argue that capital punishment is morally wrong. They feel that killing some one for their crime is murder. In any dictionary it states that murder is the unlawful act of killing. Since capitol punishment is within the law it is not murder. Also if executions is murder then prison is kidnapping and charging taxes is extortion. There is a difference between crime and punishment. Are police officers wrong for speeding to enforce the speeding laws? No. They also say that we should value all human life. Even the most despicable. It is because we value human life so much that w .....

.... a form of deterrence does not work, as there are no fewer murders on a per-capita basis in countries or states that do have it, then those that do not. In order for capital punishment to work as a deterrence, certain events must be present in the criminal's mind prior to committing the offence. The criminal must be aware that others have been punished in the past for the offence that he or she is planning, and that what happened to another individual who committed this offence, can also happen to me. But individuals who commit any types of crime ranging from auto theft to 1st-Degree Murder, never take into account the consequences of their actions. Deterr .....

.... get banned, but the bullets were made specially for law enforcement and licensed dealers. All of these laws should be considered unconstitutional because it goes against the right to bare arms. So these gun control laws should be stopped. They should find other ways to deal with gun related crimes and violence. This country was founded on the people of the country owning guns to protect what they think is right. The constitution gives the people the right to bare arms and protect themselves. Any law against guns should be unconstitutional but the laws were made because it is what some people want. The ban on assault riffles took effect in the may of .....

.... of living with the victim, and is it their own lifestyle that they are truly fed up with? In the Robert Latimer case, as in many other cases of euthanasia, it can never be proven whether or not Latimer killed his young daughter Tracy to ‘save' her, or to save himself. While I have never experienced living with someone who is severely disabled, I have had the chance to discuss the issue with many friends and associates. From what I have learned, it is, indeed, an extremely tough matter to deal with. While no-one I have spoken to has been suicidal over the matter, they have seen the true pain and misery that some severely disabled individuals are forced t .....

.... punishment will be applied for not complying with principles of such law those individuals should be able to recognize differences in the meaning of a common term. In order to ease such recognition let's make a shift in terms and distinguish between them. A person voluntarily commits to use any prohibited by law drug. Despite the consequences of such action, the person continues using it. Eventually, some type of physical or mental harm occurs within that person's body, thus, the occurrence of changes in health is the result of one's free choice. Any of the above stages can be easily applied into mother-child scenario. If a mother becomes, at some .....

.... by definition the death penalty is not murder, but justice. Furthermore, as stated by Ed Koch, a former US Government official, "the execution of a lawfully condemned killer is no more an act of murder than is legal imprisonment an act of kidnaping". Finally, the same Bible that condemns murder also advocates "an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth". This statement could be further developed to include a life for a life. It is argued, the death penalty should be banned to prevent the execution of innocent individuals unjustly convicted of capital murder. Statistically this has occurred; however, given the lengthy appeals process, all but few u .....
