The paper seems to outline how to avoid an argument more than anything. With regards to never throwing the first punch, thats dangerous advice. Every situation is unique. An intelligent argument should never get to that point, and if it does, how has anyone won the argument? If emotions are that high during an argument, then you should probably think about backing off and leaving well enough alone.

This is a well studied and well written essay. I appreciate the fact that you documented places in the Bible that describes different reasons people should be put to death. Many people are not aware of this. You acknowledged this had still managed to build your case against the death penalty. Nice job!

It was John Locke who wrote of life, liberty, and estate(or property). Later, Thomas Jefferson changed it (while writing the Declaration of Independence) life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. For further study using Supreme Court cases look up Loving v. Virginia, Meyer v. Nebraska, or Butchers' Union Co. v. Crescent City Co.(111 U.S. 746)

Very informative essay. I'm particularly interested in the Maya. We owe a lot to them for their efforts in astrology. They were able to develop a very accurate calender and predict different celestial phenomenons.

Lots of informative material. No doubt these agencies (KGB & CIA) helped keep America and the Soviets from all out war.
