You have to blame the assaulter unless there is a reasonable explanation such as self defense. Otherwise, it it is like saying that a murderer shouldn't be blamed or tried for murder. Take a car accident in which a car hit a victim as an example; most of the time the victim is innocent even if he/she jumped straight at the car. This is because the assaulter (in this case the driver) should have contained a limit and could have more or less tried to have avoided the accident. The same goes for an assaulter harassing a victim, the assaulter has to have a reasonable limit or else it is the assaulter's fault and he/she should be blamed.
I hope everyone understands that helmets in Football are for safety and not for fashion or something useless. It is like saying, why should a car have breaks? There are a lot of concussions during football games, but even if there werent, wouldn't it make sense to wear a helmet just in case.
The government should not fund extra-curricular activities for children. The question is why should they and what is the point? Unless the US is not in debt (but they are in debt of almost 20 trillion dollars) and have nothing better to put their money into, then they could waste it on extra-curricular activities. What are the benefits of extra-curricular activities such as music lessons? It is rare for a child to become a huge money making musician. How about extra-curricular basketball; when was the last time a kid who went to these activities became a famous/money making player. Usually the kids who become famous out of these activities do it in their spare time at home or outside without the help of these extra-curricular activities. Why should the taxes people pay, be put into useless extra-curricular activities. If the government really wants to waste money, rather then wasting money on this, let the government waste money on a better education system (which most kids will actually need to make money in the future).
Both sides of the argument can be supported through a general statement such as: the lack of belief in a god or the belief in the lack of a god is the same thing. However, when going into depth on this topic, the view of the lack of belief is preciser and a more viable option. By definition, "Atheism is not a belief system nor is it a religion" (atheism.org). Therefore, atheists have no belief, disproving the second argument. On the first glance, yes, the 2 options looked similar, but it became clear to me that atheism is the lack of belief because of the definition of an atheist.
