death penalty should be abolish

Aika

I think that death penalty is too cruel. In spite of the fact that somebody kills someone it does not matter that our society has rights to kill too. It means that we are murderers too. I believe that istead of death penalty it's better to give them life sentence. Because life without freedom, it is the worst think in our life. Also, we knew such situations were suffered innocent people and it is awful. That's why, before talk about every kind of death penalty, we must think about the meaning an...

Bullies should receive much harsher punishment

Bullies in grade school can torment an individual to the point of the victim wanting to commit suicide or actually going through with it. Most bullies get suspended for a few days, or simply get a slap on the wrist and have to go to the principal's office. Bullying continues because the situations aren't handled correctly and their punishments are not as severe as they need to be. I feel in some instances, bullies should be permanently expelled from the school or spend some nights in a jail cell...

Society should be more tolerant of 'the love that dare not speak its name'

Personally, I am very tolerant of men who are, you know, good with colours, just so long as they don’t try and queer up little boys, of course.

Naturally, I find repulsive the thought of what men who iron their socks get up to in the bedroom (or in public lavatories in the case of George Michael) but I believe that gentlemen who are fans of Billy Elliot have nothing to be ashamed of and that friends of Dorothy should be more widely accept...

The United States Is A Christian Nation

Oxymoron
Magicr

Thesis:

The United States was heavily influenced by Christianity and its basic tenets and are thus a Christian Nation. As Pro, I will defend the resolution by making it clear that the Founders explicitly state that they and the United States were molded by Christianity.

First Round Is For Acceptance

Islamic advertisements on the television.

I took a trip to America yesterday, and I was walking behind some gargantuan-boned natives who seemed to be very critical of the muslims in front of them. Although quite hysterical and unusually clever, calling muslims names like "Mad-hatters", "Bush-beards" and "Poo people" came off as quite offensive to a politically correct individual such as myself. These chocolate-chewing fatsos then started rambling on about the two numbers they knew, eleven and nine (although not in...

Western governments should not block the sale of genetically-reconstructed Neanderthal slaves

brian_eggleston
Jarhyn

These are exciting times here at Eggleston's Ethical Enterprises: the good people who brought you The SkyShrine fast-track prayer device; The Pak-a-Spak Rucksack commuter accessory and EuroPimps ethical soliciting services for punters with a social conscience. (1) That's because our scientists are busy building on recent research done at Harvard University (2) to create artificial Neanderthal DNA based on the genetic code found in bone samples taken from the preserved remains of a long dead m...
