If music piracy is not eliminated, the music industry will come to an end
Many musicians presently earn a living through many activities including performing, merchandising, and copyright royalties. However, recorded music arguably generates the most revenue for popular and independent musical acts. It is estimated that 12.5 billion dollars are lost every year due to music piracy (1).

Bioshock is a work of art
The Harry Potter book series is better than the Twilight book series.
poem debate
I was cold and hurting lost out in the night wandering and searching for heaven's light I saw the night sky clearing when you spread your rainbow wings But little did I know what joy you would bring From that moment on a friendship did start you kissed away my tears and sheltered my heart I bless the day God sent him from above But then I grew fearful for I had fallen in love I told you this feeling and what did you say?

People should be allowed to erect public statues of whoever they choose
The American Government will today unveil a statue of former US President, Ronald Reagan, in London's Grosvenor Square.

Reagan is not universally loved in Britain because he was a mentor to the hated former Tory Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher, and he was the inspiration for many of her crimes against the British working classes. Similarly, many people were strongly o...
