In a civilized society, should anyone or any government ever force anyone to do anything against his or her will as long as that person does not infringe upon the life, liberty, or property of another?

World Cup needs instant replay

Although not politics (even though many governments get involved in their country's soccer team), a statement about the World Cup is needed. It's time to use instant replay since the officials are terrible. Adu's (U.S.) goal was nullified because he was called offside when he wasn't; England's goal was not counted because the official missed that it was one foot over the line (would have been the equalizer against Germany); and Moller got a yellow card for a ball that he unintentially let hit his upper arm (Germany was way ahead at the time, the end of the game, so it was a non-factor), he then missed the match against Spain which dramatically impacted Germany's offense.

IT IS TIME FOR REPLAY! Let's get with the times, FIFA - it's not 1930 anymore.

could you not say that baseball needs a replay as well? Many die hard fans disagree with the instant replay system attempting to keep baseball "classic"
