 | | Safe-haven Law: Method of Psychological Abuse to Children of Complete Awareness of Their Surroundings | | by Dialga, Nov 16, 2008 | | In the state of Nebraska in America, the safe-haven law is in effect. This law allows parents to abandon their children under the age of nineteen, which is the age of legality in Nebraska, at designated hospitals scattered throughout the state. Since the passing of this state law in July, more than thirty children have been abandoned by their parents, some of which were seventeen years old. Can you believe this madness!? | | Comments(0) Liked It: 0 |

 | | What Caused the Salem Witch Trial Hysteria? | | by BOBOBOBOOBOBOBOBOBOBOBOB, Oct 13, 2008 | | It was 1692, and nobody was safe from being accused of a witch. This was the year the Salem witch trials began, which were a series of killings of people because they were thought to be witches. What caused the Salem witch trial hysteria of 1692? Some say it was caused by ergot, a poisonous fungus. Others say it was because four teenage girls wanted fame. Some even said it was because people wanted land. | | Comments(1) Liked It: 2 |

 | | Human Rights | | by Chanman, Sep 28, 2008 | | Australia's current legal system has limited scope for human rights. The Constitution provides several express gaurantees; the common law system has protected some fundamental human rights too. However, these "protections" are insufficient. The common law system is shackled to the chains of precedent and are subject to change at Parliament's discretion. The Constitution has stood the test of time but its formulation prior to Federation has made it a product of its time - entrenching only the values deemed important at its formulation. In response to these limitations, both statutory and Constitutionally-entrenched bill of rights have been put forward. Should we follow the United States of America with a Constitutionally-entrenched Bill of Rights or should we follow Victoria and Canada with the (Victorian) Charter of Rights? | | Comments(0) Liked It: 1 |
