Gay Marraige Should Be Allowed.
Gays should be allowed to marry partners of their choice just as heterosexual couples do. It is ignorant in today's world to deny such a basic right to an individual because of something that is innate. Yes, sexuality is not a choice, it is innate. For my first point, let me state that a civil union is not a reasonable compromise for a legal marriage. Most civil unions don't have the same rights as a legal marriage has. Even if we made all civil unions exactly equal to legal marriage but cal...
Mufasa (the EEPster) should shave his head.
Why should Mufasa shave his head? 1. His huge hair is a breeding ground for bacteria. It is impossible for him to thoroughly wash his hair because he has never learned strategy from teaching figures. A strategy does not start out perfect. Parents generally do not shower with their children, so strategies were invented and never corrected. And think about it...how can such a huge mass be washed? Generally, boys don't care that much about their hygiene. They neglect to do certain things tha...
Gay Marriage Should Be Legalized.
Gay Marriage should be a legal form of marriage for the simple fact that disallowing LGBT groups to marrying is taking a right that should be theirs. I'll let you go first, as I am contending that there are no substantial legal reasons to disallow same-sex marriage, and thus it should be a right for any LGBT couple to marry....
Religion should not have special immunity from criticism.
"The first proposition, that the sun is the centre and does not revolve about the earth, is foolish, absurd, false in theology, and heretical, because expressly contrary to Holy Scripture... [and]... the second proposition, that the earth is not the centre but revolves about the sun, is absurd, false in philosophy, and, from a theological point of view at least, opposed to the true faith." - Judgment of the Inquisition of Galileo Galilei, 1616 Definition - Special: distinctive; unique....
Marijuana Legalization
I think marijuana should be legalized. For the purposes of the debate, let's assume laws under legalization would make pot similar to alcohol (21 age limit, no driving under the influence, etc.) 1. Other substances Alcohol impairs you more, yet is legal. Cigarettes offer all of the same health concerns, but offer no significant benefit (high) and most cigarette smokers smoke more than marijuana users on a daily basis. Also, marijuana has been medically proven to be non-habit-forming, unlike...
The Newfoundland seal hunt should not be abolished.
I don't think I'll have a hard time finding somebody who is against this topic, unless everybody here actually understands the significance of the Newfoundland seal hunt, which I would be thoroughly surprised if somebody did. To begin I would like to clarify why the seal hunt still exists after 300 or more years: 1. It is one of the main incomes of the province of Newfoundland, next to oil. Newfoundland I'll have you know is one of, if not the poorest province in the country of Canada and...
Immigration is changing rural England life
Britain's face is changing. More than half of all babies born in London last year were the children of foreign-born mothers. Across England and Wales, the figure was approaching a quarter. Recent polls, including the Ipsos Mori political monitor, last month, have put immigration at number one in the public's list of concerns. This used to be a polite way for people to tell pollsters that they were racists. Yet race is no longer the issue: not since the arrival of more than 600,000 white East...
