matt_dimick — 2023-09-06 15:45:42 UTC

carlosc3411 — 2023-09-06 18:39:18 UTC

Yes, but with actual justified reasons

2023-09-06 18:39:56 UTC

Yes, because then you can pretend to be that religion and not get drafted.

saul

2023-09-06 18:40:05 UTC

no go fight bro

jadynn073 — 2023-09-06 18:40:14 UTC

yes, people should be able to choose whether or not they fight in the war. it could be a life or death situation that people should not be forced into

leobardo serrano

2023-09-06 18:40:17 UTC

no, we need more people like Desmond Doss

2023-09-06 18:40:55 UTC

yes but they have to have a good reason because they can lie so they wont have to fight

Anthony Hernandez

2023-09-06 18:41:06 UTC

I think that no matter what your beliefs are, if your country is in desperate measures and you are old enough, it should be mandatory to help out your country in some way.

maxw343 — 2023-09-06 18:41:07 UTC

I think no because we should all fight the country when in need

Max Grayson

maxg340 — 2023-09-06 18:41:12 UTC

I think no because if your country needs you and is in danger, they'll need everyone they need.

Hser

2023-09-06 18:41:17 UTC

No, because if the country was in actual danger you can't just sit back. We in this together.

Luca Viana

2023-09-06 18:41:35 UTC

I think that you should not be given a break based on religion becuase then it would be unjustified to non religous people. If the countries need you they need you.

ar

2023-09-06 18:42:04 UTC

will be considered exempt from compulsory
military service

taylora498 — 2023-09-06 18:42:28 UTC

no because I think if the country gets put in a bad situation, then we need as many people to help out as possible.

Donna

2023-09-06 18:42:33 UTC

I believe people should be able to choose whether or not they should fight for the country they live in. Some people didn't choose to live in a certain country and may not be able to move elsewhere. While it's important to protect your country, people shouldn't have to be torn from their family for the better of their country

Isabella

2023-09-06 18:42:57 UTC

Yes because you should have the choice to fight if you want.

Jose Garcia

2023-09-06 18:43:09 UTC

I feel you should go to war even if you don't believe in war you have to go serve your country if they need help

zoe

2023-09-06 18:43:15 UTC

yes because nobody should have to kill others against their will.

Alexis

2023-09-06 18:43:16 UTC

Yes, because it depends on their religion and their beliefs, unless they choose, they do want to join.

2023-09-06 18:43:46 UTC

No, in times of desperate need I think people should fight.

mwajuma

2023-09-06 18:44:12 UTC

yes because we should all fight for our country

saulp871 — 2023-09-06 18:44:13 UTC

no because then no-one is going to fight for the country and we're gonna get invaded

andrewg501 — 2023-09-06 18:44:51 UTC

I think that people can have the right to not have to use a weapon but I think everyone if needed should have to serve and fight for their country

jessicar311 — 2023-09-06 18:45:47 UTC

I think they should be justified from military service because conscientious objectors have a personal reason to not want to fight. If something goes against someone’s beliefs nobody should force them to do it. Even if they are forced, they probably wouldn’t share the motivation to fight because they would be forced instead of actually wanting to help.

guillermom389 — 2023-09-06 18:45:54 UTC

yes but they have to have a good reason because they can lie so they dont have to fight

fadumoa115 — 2023-09-06 18:46:03 UTC

I just believe that you shouldn't just be put in the military without consent cause you don't want to be signed up to die. But if you want to fight for your country just do it cause we will need it at some point.

masonf023 — 2023-09-06 18:46:34 UTC

Yes, because then you can pretend to be that religion and not get drafted

Dimi Fataki

dieumercif006 — 2023-09-06 18:47:47 UTC

yes I believe people should be able to support there country no matter what.

alexanders661 — 2023-09-06 18:52:28 UTC

i think people should fight for their country when needed

carlosc3411 — 2023-09-06 18:55:43 UTC

No, as for animals are living beings with feelings too

maxg340 — 2023-09-06 18:56:15 UTC

No because I feel like it's inhumane.

maxw343 — 2023-09-06 18:56:15 UTC

no because animals have a place in the world with a purpose

hserh500 — 2023-09-06 18:56:19 UTC

No, they gain nothing for the loss.

guillermom389 — 2023-09-06 18:56:36 UTC

no because it's a living thing and i think it should have a chance to live

masonf023 — 2023-09-06 18:56:43 UTC

only if the remainder of the animal is used. Such as using the meat for food and hide for warmth or something like that

no

saulp871 — 2023-09-06 18:56:49 UTC

it shouldnt be allowed unless its a chihuahua

lucav663 — 2023-09-06 18:56:50 UTC

No, beacuse that is just cruel bro.

jadynn073 — 2023-09-06 18:57:00 UTC

no, animals should not be harmed

Anthonuy

anthonyh621 — 2023-09-06 18:57:01 UTC

No because animals are natures creations as are we so we could just test them on humans instead.

donnah910 — 2023-09-06 18:57:30 UTC

No, animal abuse is wrong. They are living beings too. We should be more ethic in animal related practices

taylora498 — 2023-09-06 18:57:43 UTC

no. its just wrong

jessicar311 — 2023-09-06 18:57:49 UTC

No because people should still respect the rights of everyone, animals included.

leobardos729 — 2023-09-06 18:58:02 UTC

NO, no animal should be sacrificed. life should be valued.

alexanders661 — 2023-09-06 18:58:04 UTC

no thats animal cruelty

joseg592 — 2023-09-06 18:58:21 UTC

No because animals aren't made to be experimented on, it's a living creature.

zoe

2023-09-06 18:58:22 UTC

Yes, it's important to respect other religions and cultures. If you eat meat, you can't be upset when other people kill animals when it isn't for your own benefit.

Dimi fataki

dieumercif006 — 2023-09-06 18:58:39 UTC

no because animal they have foamily and kid just like us.

andrewg501 — 2023-09-06 18:59:08 UTC

I dont think it should be made illegal because it's an every once in a while accurance it's not like they are killing all of animals a day like major food companies who slaughter thousand of animals every day

isabellaw340 — 2023-09-06 18:59:51 UTC

I think it should be allowed if its part of your religion. Ancient people used to do animal sacrifices to appease their gods, or for a good harvest.

Ava Smith

2023-09-06 19:00:19 UTC

I think it should be allowed. Most of us eat meat anyways and if an animal is used in this respectful religious way, I think people should do it if they believe.

mwajuma

2023-09-06 19:01:00 UTC

no because animals have kids like us

ahmado422 — 2023-09-06 19:01:18 UTC

I think yes because each year KFC and McDonalds kills more than millions times.

fadumoa115 — 2023-09-06 19:03:11 UTC

yes, I'm very used to it so why won't the people just accept it if they already kill animals too but just for a different reason.

alexisl920 — 2023-09-06 19:05:30 UTC

Yes, we eat animals anyways. Animals are killed to make food, religious just sacrifice them.

alemi reyna

alemir882 — 2023-09-06 19:06:03 UTC

no because experience fear and pain

carlosc3411 — 2023-09-06 19:09:43 UTC

It should depend on the family's income

ANthony

anthonyh621 — 2023-09-06 19:10:05 UTC

I dont think they should because its the choice of the parent to send them and not the responsibility of others.

no

saulp871 — 2023-09-06 19:10:10 UTC

I don't wanna pay for other kids education with my tax money pay for your own

masonf023 — 2023-09-06 19:10:10 UTC

No, only if they can pay for it themselves aint nobody else paying for it

isabellaw340 — 2023-09-06 19:10:12 UTC

No, if parents really want their kids to be taught religion in school they should have to pay for it themselves.

guillermom389 — 2023-09-06 19:11:19 UTC

no because the parents want them to go there

taylora498 — 2023-09-06 19:11:26 UTC

I don't think so because it could discourage public schooling, and the funding for public school would diminish.

lucav663 — 2023-09-06 19:11:34 UTC

I think if the religous school if unafforable to the certian family then yes. But for the most part it is a choice and would destroy the public schooling.

fadumoa115 — 2023-09-06 19:12:26 UTC

yes, cause some families wouldn't be able to pay for it depending on their income

maxg340 — 2023-09-06 19:12:30 UTC

No because it's the families choice on what they want and it all depends.

Bruh

hserh500 — 2023-09-06 19:12:31 UTC

1: I don't want to pay more taxes
2: We can use that money for better options

maxw343 — 2023-09-06 19:12:44 UTC

It depends on the family's income but if you want your kid to go to a school the family should then pay for it, it is their decision.

zoe

2023-09-06 19:12:53 UTC

No because nobody would want to go to public schools and private schools already offer scholarships for some low income students

Ava Smith

2023-09-06 19:13:19 UTC

I think the parents should receive some type of financial aid, perhaps depending on income rates. Or have a few students on scholarships. But if a family can afford to personally pay for their child to go to a private school, then they should pay in full.

jessicar311 — 2023-09-06 19:14:23 UTC

I think parents should get a voucher for private school kids because if they would be going to a public school, then the state would be giving that money, but since they go to a private school, they are saving the state money.

andrewg501 — 2023-09-06 19:14:43 UTC

I don't think that people should get a voucher if they choose to send their kid to a private school because that money is for kids who go to public schools

donnah910 — 2023-09-06 19:16:45 UTC

I think it depends on income. Those with lower incomes should be given a financial aid

Dimi

dieumercif006 — 2023-09-06 19:17:17 UTC

I don't think because parent they choose there kid school.

joseg592 — 2023-09-06 19:18:10 UTC

No, only if they could afford it for themselves.

mwajuma

2023-09-06 19:18:18 UTC

it depend on their parents

alexisl920 — 2023-09-06 19:18:23 UTC

Depends on what the people choose. Whether you want the kids to go to religious school or not.

ahmado422 — 2023-09-06 19:18:23 UTC

I think yes it does not matter if you want go to privet or not but you should get the same thing like other people and for example if state pay 9000$ and privet school need more it is the parent responsibility to pay the rest.

alexanders661 — 2023-09-06 19:18:35 UTC

no because this would discourage people from public school and thats not good

alemi reyna

alemir882 — 2023-09-06 19:18:53 UTC

no because nobody would want to go public school

leobardos729 — 2023-09-06 19:21:18 UTC

no because no one wants to pay extra taxes

Anthony

anthonyh621 — 2023-09-06 19:23:31 UTC

Saying that the religious people shouldn't really be there because of their differences.

masonf023 — 2023-09-06 19:23:44 UTC

that is not cool you need to respect other religions and their beleifs

WHATS GOING ON!

hserh500 — 2023-09-06 19:23:46 UTC

The teacher is telling Allah to get out. My theory is that Allah religion is not allowed

carlosc3411 — 2023-09-06 19:23:46 UTC

They're treating one religion more important than other (violation of the separation between church and state)

maxw343 — 2023-09-06 19:23:51 UTC

I think it has to do something with freedom of religion. Where we can't chose what to believe in.

andrewg501 — 2023-09-06 19:23:55 UTC

I think that they favor the Christian God over other Gods that people believe in

lucav663 — 2023-09-06 19:24:10 UTC

This cartoon shows that they are kicking out allah out of the classroom becuase he isnt the religion that they want the other students learning about that religion or that god

jadynn073 — 2023-09-06 19:24:21 UTC

I think they're favoring one religion over another

fadumoa115 — 2023-09-06 19:24:23 UTC

maybe they are kicking out the religion that is not most taught through the children

Ava Smith

2023-09-06 19:24:58 UTC

Public education should be hypothetically secular but that doesn’t end up happening. There is preference towards the Christian faith.

leobardos729 — 2023-09-06 19:25:02 UTC

I see discrimination because they're telling Allah to get out

donnah910 — 2023-09-06 19:25:09 UTC

The teacher is discriminating against other religions and prioritizing one god over another based off the different religion

alexanders661 — 2023-09-06 19:25:12 UTC

she's telling the guy on the left to get out(not respecting other religions.

isabellaw340 — 2023-09-06 19:25:17 UTC

Most schools in the us are more likely to implement the christian “god” instead of another religion’s god

alexisl920 — 2023-09-06 19:25:24 UTC

looks like they're kicking out a religion or god because they don't want it at their school.

Alemi Reyna

alemir882 — 2023-09-06 19:25:41 UTC

have respect for the religion of others.

maxg340 — 2023-09-06 19:25:42 UTC

They aren't treating religions the same, there's no separation between religion and state

taylora498 — 2023-09-06 19:25:54 UTC

The cartoon represents a school valuing a religion over another.

carlosc3411 — 2023-09-06 19:26:04 UTC

He's getting offended by the nativity scene?

saulp871 — 2023-09-06 19:26:07 UTC

they're kicking out Allah because he isn't the Christian God which is the dominant religion in the US

ECCK! HOW OFFENSIVE!

hserh500 — 2023-09-06 19:26:11 UTC

A guy think religion is offensive while thinkging other "trash" are not

Dimi Fataki

dieumercif006 — 2023-09-06 19:26:21 UTC

that are two religious they are fight which one of them will teacher the kids.

masonf023 — 2023-09-06 19:26:38 UTC

messed up because he is saying something religious is offennsive even though there is the xxx magazines video store right there

mwajuma

2023-09-06 19:26:41 UTC

i think they're favor the Christian god over others

saulp871 — 2023-09-06 19:26:45 UTC

besides there being so many depictions of violent crimes and lustful imagery, the guy gets offended over Jesus.

Anthony

anthonyh621 — 2023-09-06 19:26:45 UTC

I think the cartoon is showing that someone is always going to find something offensive.

donnah910 — 2023-09-06 19:26:54 UTC

The guy appears to be more offended toward religion vs a violent movie or sexual undergarments

maxg340 — 2023-09-06 19:26:54 UTC

It's showing a guy mad at a religion but he's ignoring all the other inappropriate things around him

maxw343 — 2023-09-06 19:26:56 UTC

this cartoon is showing how the guy is offended by a religion thing while there is things all around him that are more offensive than a little child with its beliefs.

Ava Smith

2023-09-06 19:26:58 UTC

Just because you don’t believe in something, doesn’t mean that thing shouldn’t be around in a public space.

fadumoa115 — 2023-09-06 19:27:34 UTC

it's probably because the little girl is showing a religious belief but in front of something that is not very religious like the lady behind her in the picture.

lucav663 — 2023-09-06 19:27:36 UTC

This is showing how all these ads on traditionally bad things are justified but then the nativity scence is shown as bad.

jadynn073 — 2023-09-06 19:27:53 UTC

the guys offended by a nativity scene instead of all the graphic posters

taylora498 — 2023-09-06 19:28:21 UTC

It shows a person being offended by others' opinions rather than other offensive things that are surrounding them.

jessicar311 — 2023-09-06 19:28:23 UTC

He gets offended by the nativity scene, but not by actual offensive things surrounding him.

isabellaw340 — 2023-09-06 19:29:00 UTC

People are more sensitive to religion than media

andrewg501 — 2023-09-06 19:29:01 UTC

It's showing how the store owner is offended by the nativity scene in front of all these religiously negativel viewed stores

leobardos729 — 2023-09-06 19:29:09 UTC

the guy seems more offended by the nativity scene which is related to religion.

guillermom389 — 2023-09-06 19:29:14 UTC

he's getting offended by the nativity scene

joseg592 — 2023-09-06 19:29:41 UTC

I think it shows a person being offended for their religious beliefs

Alemi Reyna

alemir882 — 2023-09-06 19:29:58 UTC

the people always going to find something offensive.

joseg592 — 2023-09-06 19:30:08 UTC

It shows how they didn’t want religious people there.

alexisl920 — 2023-09-06 19:30:16 UTC

He's getting offended by the little girl's beliefs because of his beliefs.

mwajuma

2023-09-06 19:30:21 UTC

i think he taking about offensive something religious

Dimi Fataki

dieumercif006 — 2023-09-06 19:30:45 UTC

I think they trying make you people to choose which is the best for them.

alexanders661 — 2023-09-06 19:31:17 UTC

the guy is offended by a kids religion when he is surrounded by other very offensive things

2023-09-06 20:06:21 UTC

Yes! Because people should have the right to say no to the potential of killing other people, even if they are enemies of our government, and to potentially dying or facing extreme psychological and physical harm. It’s not morally right as a government to force your public to be harmed for something that is not in their ideals!
-Acqua Stacey

Ellie Moss 4(A)

2023-09-06 20:07:56 UTC

Yes, people have the right to decide whether they want to put themselves in that situation, since war is life or death. Peoples lives and opinions matter above government needs, at least in this circumstance.

2023-09-06 20:11:27 UTC

Not unless the animal’s remains are put to good use. Killing an animal, no matter if it’s for a personal belief, without actual usage is wrong. Some serial killers kill animals because of their own personal beliefs, and would you let that happen if you happened to stumble on a sawed off deer head while on a hike? It’s animal cruelty. Especially if it’s an endangered animal! No bueno.
-Acqua Stacey

Ellie Moss 4(A)

2023-09-06 20:18:31 UTC

If a citizen is allowed to hunt for their own enjoyment, why shouldn't others be able to use animals for their personal beliefs? I think we should respect each others cultures and religions and all mind our own business.

sean kelly

2023-09-08 15:15:16 UTC

No, they should not be exempt, if other people dont get time off then why do they?

Sean Kelly

2023-09-08 15:18:12 UTC

No, Animals should not be sacrificed. the only reason we should kill them is to eat them

sean kelly

2023-09-08 15:20:06 UTC

no definitely not. Everyone has their own believes and it would be totally unfair to do that

2023-09-08 15:20:38 UTC

none

traed883 — 2023-09-08 18:09:02 UTC

Yes, Because I believe people should have a choice to go into war or not. People have different beliefs and decisions.

traed883 — 2023-09-08 18:10:34 UTC

No, Because I feel like it's inhumane and wrong.

traed883 — 2023-09-08 18:12:20 UTC

I think they should because families have different income problems and other life problems to the point that they would need a voucher for their child's sake.

Christopher Garcia

2023-09-11 18:30:49 UTC

This cartoon is showing how the guy is offended by religion all the things around him.

yes but they need a good reason for why

2023-09-26 17:26:38 UTC

Yanick

2023-09-26 17:30:30 UTC

yes but they need a good reason for why and depending on the scenario they should have the freedom to do so cause thats what this country was built off of freedom and not follwoing that would damage this country in many ways than one .

yanick

2023-09-26 17:32:59 UTC

Agree

jaelynn tu’uao

2023-11-16 16:44:43 UTC

The Human Rights Council, and previously the Commission on Human Rights, have also recognized the right of everyone to have conscientious objection to military service as a legitimate exercise of the right to freedom of thought.

jaelynn tu’uao

2023-11-16 16:49:17 UTC

United States v. Seeger was a case in which the Uniter States Supreme Court ruled that the exemption from the military draft for conscientious objectors could be reserved not only for those professing conformity with the moral directives of a supreme being but also for those whose views on war derived from a "sincere and meaningful belief which occupies in the life of its possessor a place parallel to that filled by the God of those" who had routinely gotten the exemption.

jaelynn tu’uao

2023-11-16 16:56:52 UTC

no because the Supreme Court ruled in favor of a Santeria church that had been charged with animal cruelty after sacrificing a dozen chickens.

jaelynn tu’uao

2023-11-16 16:58:43 UTC

the Supreme Court affirmed the principle that laws targeting specific religions violet the free exercise clause of the First Amendment.

jaelynn tu’uao

2023-11-16 17:01:07 UTC

The inclusion of parochial schools in voucher programs would violate the establishment clause of the First Amendment by diverting public money to private religious schools.
