Your Turn: Illicit drug use can lead students to early grave
Mar. 9, 2009I was disturbed several weeks ago when I read in The Post that there was an increase in illicit drug abuse at OU. This is sad. Many good lives have been destroyed by drug abuse and many a young life has been taken because of it. Drugs are bad news. I lost my brother because of a cocaine overdose. Young students drink and combining that with popping pills can send you to the hospital or an early grave. Alcohol is fine in my opinion, but experimenting with illicit drugs can be deadly. My advice is to stick to the alcohol and leave the hard stuff alone.

Your Turn: Prostituted youth need help
Mar. 9, 2009The Post article on child prostitutes shined some light on the problem but did not tell the whole story. First off the term child prostitute doesn't truly describe the situation. Ken Lawson, a vice cop from Columbus, prefers the term prostituted child. It is his belief that no child would on their own volition choose this lifestyle for themselves. I would like to pull out two phrases that were in the article - enslaved and domestic trafficking. These children are victims, they are modern slaves; calling them child prostitutes turns them into criminals. They are for the most part forced into prostitution by pimps, drug dealers, and sometimes family members.

Your Turn: Incorrectly presented facts skew Israel-Palestine crisis
Mar. 9, 2009Alex Homan not only states incorrect facts in his op-ed article, Between the lines: Israel breaches international law to punish Palestine (March 9), but it also seems as though he is looking in the wrong places for credible information. First, it is incorrect for Alex to mention the numbers of overall Palestinians killed in comparison to Israelis, given the fact that three fourths of Palestinians killed are members of Hamas, a Palestinian terrorist organization. He stated that 400 of those killed were children, but in reality, according to the most cited Palestinian source, Palestinian Centre for Human Rights, the total number of children killed up to January 21 is 280. Of these, 55 were males aged 15 to 17 and it's fair to assume that many of those males were likely to be Hamas combatants.
