Gay kid show characters?

This is not right. Children will become confused. Not that I am against gay relationships or people. Definitely against children watching two princesses kiss. As working at a daycare has taught me, Children do what they see or hear. Just take that and brainstorm what you think the generation will turn into if this was to happen. If a child feels a certain way towards someone just like everyone we all learn what the feeling of butterflies or just having a crush. If your child is feeling that way...

Are mermaids real

I believe that mermaids are real, Because there is so much proof of them being real we are just being blinded/misdirected by the government because they do not want people to be scared and people shouldn't disregard the question because we have only explored 10% of our ocean and they could be any were do you know how big/deep the ocean is they have the best hiding spot in the world....

Disagree: 0.00%

Agree: 0.00%
•	Abortion	ConComments The moment of conception is the only time to determine whether the fetus is alive. Thus, I oppose abortion. Don't feel too strongly though.
•	Affirmative Action	ProComments To resolve past discrimination. If our society deals out disadvantages to blacks in the past, it's only just that they deal out advantages now. If I kicked you in the shins for no reason, would it be unreasonable for you to ask me to pay for your medical bills?
•	Animal Rights	N/OComments Using animals for testing is okay provided the testing is beneficial to humanity and the animal is not put in extreme levels of pain. However, pet owners and pet adoption centers/animal shelters should never be allowed to abuse their pets.
•	Barack Obama	ProComments Good president, largely for economic reasons, i.e. due to him handling the economic recession and making strides in public healthcare
•	Border Fence	ProComments Since there is a fence already up I suppose I just don't think it's reasonable to take it down. In terms of maintenance etc., I think having more people guard the barrier would likely be beneficial. With regards to the wall, no. Not only will the improvements be negligible, but the costs will skyrocket, what with having to take down the fence AND maintain the more expensive material.
•	Capitalism	ProComments Regulated capitalism, with room for government option healthcare, welfare, progressive taxation and stuff like that
•	Civil Unions	N/OComments Irrelevant issue now that LGBTQ marriage is legalized. YAY!
•	Death Penalty	ConComments Deterrence effect is negligible, and the potential to kill innocents outweighs the potential cost benefits. Morality over money.
•	Drug Legalization	ConComments Hard to say. However, whether it's lowering drug punishments, decriminalization, or legalization, liberalizing our drug policies is absolutely necessary.
•	Electoral College	ConComments It sucks, but I don't have a counterplan. Since the question is Electoral College for or against, I'm against.
•	Environmental Protection	ProComments Scientific consensus on global warming tells us yes. Outside of that it should be a perogative to protect the enviornment in all cases
•	Estate Tax	ConComments I lean against but I frankly know little about it. Don't like the idea of taxing death though.
•	European Union	ProComments It seems as if the countries of Europe have become very reliant on the European Union. Countries opting out seems to harm them.
•	Euthanasia	ProComments If they want to avoid their suffering let them avoid their suffering.
•	Federal Reserve	ProComments Necessary for a functioning economy.
•	Flat Tax	ConComments No (regressive, too simple, nice to people with the easy life but hard on people who struggle) but NIT is ok. But let's be real, it's not really flat.
•	Free Trade	UndComments Ugh, I'm split.
•	Gay Marriage	ProComments Not a single good argument against it, unless you can somehow prove to me the inferiority of gay parenting.
•	Global Warming Exists	ProComments obviously
•	Globalization	UndComments To be honest, although I should know more, the results seem mixed.
•	Gold Standard	ConComments Outdated and minimalist
•	Gun Rights	ProComments I'm by no means a right-winger, I could even consider myself center left, but leftist media has consistiently misrepresented the statistics on guns and gun violence. Concealed Carry, based on lots of studies done on the subject, either has no effect or a positive effect on deterrence, and semiautomatic rifles have little effect on crime rates and great effects in home defense situation. The scientific consensus is for gun rights and against gun control. I am pro-gun.
•	Homeschooling	UndComments On the one hand, some homeschools are terrible. On the other hand, so are some public schools.
•	Internet Censorship	ConComments Practically impossible and Orwellian.
•	Iran-Iraq War	ConComments The US Intervention was unneccesary and immoral here. We didn't need to take sides just because of the oil we have. The US, in order to conserve safety, can't get involved in things like this again.
•	Labor Union	UndComments Yes, but regulated.
•	Legalized Prostitution	ProComments mess up your own life who cares
•	Medicaid & Medicare	ProComments Must be a government option. The business owners will survive.
•	Medical Marijuana	ProComments Marijuana eases pain in rough operations. It's not so bad recreationally, I don't see why not.
•	Military Intervention	ProComments In cases of genocide and invasion of allies, occupation/intervention may be necessary. To be honest, if the US won't handle world affairs, no one will handle world affairs. Being the "world police" is sometimes necessary.
•	Minimum Wage	ProComments Some minimum wage to prevent poverty in ultraconservative states.
•	National Health Care	ConComments I think a state option is cool. We don´t need this
•	National Retail Sales Tax	UndComments The innovative part about a Sales Tax is that it's direct and simple, and you could do it in multiple ways: 1) Just do a general Flat sales Tax 2) A Progressive Sales Tax, so that the rich pay more for the same items as the poor, or 3) You could have luxury items taxed higher, and other items taxed lower. People generally buy a lot, so it'd have to be a relatively low tax for it to add up fairly. It's good when handled by smart economists. However, if we're going to pick here, it'd be ideal that we pick this or an Income Tax, not a complicated combination on both. It has a lot of potential, but it's very risky to implement. Also, I know a lot of people on this site, including me, like a Negative Income Tax, so it's one or the other there too. Overall, it's very risky, and depends on how we do it.
•	Occupy Movement	ConComments lol
•	Progressive Tax	ProComments A flat tax is a scary prospect. So in some form.
•	Racial Profiling	ConComments Yeah. That's racism.
•	Redistribution	ProComments Sure, to an extent.
•	Smoking Ban	UndComments Probably wouldn´t work, but ideal considering all of those secondhand smoke deaths.
•	Social Programs	ProComments Some, sure.
•	Social Security	ProComments Fundamentally necessary.
•	Socialism	ConComments I generally believe in regulation, but I still would call myself a capitalist. I think.
•	Stimulus Spending	ProComments Seems like the only option sometimes.
•	Term Limits	ProComments I think this would likely prevent government corruption, the last thing we need. We probably need to have it, changed my mind.
•	Torture	ConComments gnarly and ineffective
•	United Nations	UndComments Although I admire their peacekeeping efforts, many of their members seem as terrible as the countries they try to fix.
•	War in Afghanistan	ProComments Necessary. Not Iraq though.
•	War on Terror	ConComments First off, we can't really define it. If we're talking about fighting Terrorism, we need to have a concentrated effort instead of a campaign to stop it all, because that's impossible. We couldn't really eradicate all terrorism. Plus, money is limited, and that really shows when we're up against all terrorists. Also, this involves too much militarization and unwanted civilian innocent deaths. We need to be more strategic than just declaring a full scale war.
•	Welfare	ProComments Obviously a basic safety net, sure. How far that net goes is subject to debate
