Homosexual convicts should serve their time in solitary confinement.
Who amongst us can honestly hold their hands up and say that they've never broken the law? Not many, I bet. Now, let's say you had an all-day session down the pub and, after drinking your age in pints, you drove home and on the way you ploughed through a group of orphans who were on a charity fun run raising money for baby bunny rabbits with AIDS. Then, when your case came to court, the judge sentenced you to a month in prison for every orphan's life you'd snuffed out and, consequently, you w...
Die deutsche Bundesregierung should quarantine HIV-positive people.
There is currently no effective cure for HIV, which leads to AIDS and, subsequently, thousands of Germans die of this highly contagious disease each year. Die deutsche Bundesregierung (German federal government) should screen the entire populations for HIV and those found positive should be segregated and transported in sealed railway carriages direct to isolated convalescing camps where guests would be provided with food and accommodation in return for working in factories located within the...
Religion should not be imposed on children, to allow them to choose for themselves
I am not saying religion should be banned!!, but that children should not be indoctrinated from a young age to believe and accept the religion their parents choose them to. Surely it is in everyones interest that we give our children the right to choose their beliefs for themselves?...
Islam does not resrict women.
The hijab, the main reason people think islam oppresses women, is a personal coice, and is meant to liberate them from men who look at them and judge them based on physical appearance. So, by wearing a hijab they free themselves from that form of opression. In the western society, many people do end up with unfair treatment based on their looks. Also, nowhere in the quran does it actually say that you MUST cover yourself, it is just what the propheets wives did. Islam simply sugests that you dre...
London is the best capital city in the world.
By best city in the world, I do not mean, most economically important. I view london the best city in the world from a cultural standpoint. If you live in london you begin to realise that what ever you want, london has to offer. The blend of victorian housing and ultra modern sky scrapers and office towers, means London has an image that is unique. The cultural diversity, though not liked by all londoners, creates a charm, that I think is also unique to this fantastic city! Please challenge my i...
Inheritance taxes should be abolished.
Lets say you receive an email from a lawyer in Nigeria informing you that a wealthy relative (that you never knew you had) had been killed in a road accident in Lagos and has left their entire fortune to you, and after sending the lawyer a transaction fee of $5000 he transfers $13,530,051 into your bank account. I believe that this windfall, like all unearned capital gains, should be subject to taxation so that society as a whole can share in the good fortune of those people lucky enough to r...
To murder Christiano Ronaldo on the high seas would not only be desirable, but legal too.
I don't have his telephone number, so it might not be possible to see this through, but I was thinking of inviting Ronaldo to join me on board my boat for a short cruise. Assuming he accepted my invitation, as soon as we were in international waters, where one is not subject to any national law, I'd chuck him overboard (making sure first that there were no vessels in the vicinity whose crew might not know who Ronaldo is and rescue him by mistake). In my opinion, Ronaldo is a cheating ponce who d...
westernization degrades todays youth

Education Has Nothing to do With Race..
Education and race are to different things. African Americans succeed, Whites succeed, Hispanics succed even though other education rates may be higher than others. Believing racial issues effecting education plays a big roll in kids today makes no sense because i as an african american am on the honor roll, get grades over 85%, and already got the opportunity to stay at a college dorm for a week {not trying to brag at all, just making a logical point} Now i understand that im only 1 person but...
Soft porn serves no useful purpose.
People who like porn don't like soft porn and people who don't like porn don't like soft porn. So what's the point of it? It's not as though parents can watch it with the kids, is it? I mean they don't even show full frontal nudity on some of them. As far as I know, there are no religions that have doctrines like "Thou shallt not look upon moving images depicting the private parts of a woman, nor shall thee view any "think of the money" shots, however, thou art permitted to view topless women, t...
