...other hand, aren't really individuals and don't have individual rights. If Asians are not quite individuals, then they are not quite human. Asians are, in this view, little more than worker drones willing to sacrifice themselves in an instant for the good of the state. This argument, is in essence, identical to the statements of people warning of "The Yellow Peril" in the 1950s. The Chinese regime is more than clever enough to use these beliefs against...
...companies are wise to raise questions about free speech, since there is an argument to be made that banning the sale of such papers sets a dangerous precedent. But presumably the district court will not be misled. The ability of businesses to capitalize on plagiarism has nothing to do with individual expression, and as such has no place under the banner of free speech. Term paper companies point out that a large portion of their business consists not of students but of other businesses seeking to have research done for them. If this is the case, they ought...
Brenda Klutz, deputy director of licensing for California's health department, calls that decision "very distressing and emotional," but she doesn't call it wrong.

When dealing with the sexual abuse of children that may have occurred at the compound, the documentary adopts a specious argument based on parental consent, then places blame on the ATF for using this abuse--an area for which the agency has no jurisdiction--as a basis for involvement. The film, like the ATF itself, shifts blame through technicalities...
...based on a rather narrow view of morality and society, one based solely on our culture. I also did not get the sense that your editorial was well researched. Instead of relying on emotionally stirring words such as "evil," "chattel" and "murder," you might have presented a better argument. I am not trying to paint China as "good," and I certainly am not trying to make America look bad; I am simply asking that you be more realistic in the future...
