The economy is hurting, can we get our money back from France?

The Louisiana purchase negatively effects our economy in a very bad way, and we probably send more there in welfare and social programs than those states earn in Gross Domestic Product.

If we really need to we can turn elsewhere to find states to raise our obesity, crime, and poverty rates.

Thanks! Websites would be preferable.

Why is it perfectly normal to bother people that smoke? But its considered wrong to bother obese people about their weight? No I don’t condone smoking nor do I feel need to force them to quit. In 2004, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) ranked obesity as the number one health risk facing America. It is even come to point were the new generation is going to instead of increasing life expectancy, is going to decrease. Obesity currently results in an estimated 400,000 deaths a year in the United States. All im saying is that if your going to crackdown on health issues why is that you feel need to stop after smoking? Just pisses me off when people look at smokers like their second class people. I personal careless if your obese or a smoker just don’t say one thing is bad and another isn’t. Note obese is not the same as overweight.

Omega-3’s and disease prevention
The more we learn about omega-3’s, the more amazing they seem: how can something so simple, so affordable, and so readily available be so good for us? Because of their anti-inflammatory properties, omega-3’s have been linked with prevention and treatment of a whole host of health problems, including:

Heart disease
Stroke
High cholesterol
High blood pressure
Diabetes
Obesity
Arthritis
Osteoporosis Depression/bipolar disorders
Schizophrenia
Alzheimer’s
ADHD
Burns
Skin disorders
Asthma
Breast, colon, and prostate cancers
This list goes on and on.

I have a 15 page paper due in a class called social systems and problems. As it sound it focuses on the problem in our society, for example, we have come to a point where we have to be so nice to people and watch what we say that it is taking our freedom of speech away because it would be against the norm to say what you truly feel. Probably not the best example but gives you an idea of the class.

The problem I’m having is coming up with a topic to write about that I can incorporate psychology, sociology, political science, or history (I only have to choice one but I would like to use psychology and sociology). I was going to write about the topic of obesity and the psychological effects it has on a person. It seems like that would be easy to find but this is where I’m getting caught up. Its sources have to come from a scholarly journal and must be peer reviewed. I have a perfect site for that so I don’t need suggestions, however, all the articles they have are just not what I’m focused on.

So here is my question, finally, can someone please help me brain storm and think of a new topic to write about. Nothing to over used like homosexuality or abortion but something that will catch the teacher and the classes attention. Yes, I have to do a presentation! Just throw as many ideas as you can think of and maybe something will spark my thinking.
