I think it’s the free condoms and the advocation of premarital sex that people have problems with too.

Or not get anything done. Much as I support the UN, I think it can sometimes help underscore the problems in forcing nations with vastly different agendas and culture to coexist. Hence Frenemies

The situation in Syria is much more complicated than you think. Most of the violence is actually the rebels and the western media misreports it as the administration’s fault, because it is easier to blame a […]

vote with your wallet, the capitalist way. I agree, more people need to truly stick to their ideals

it’s such a shame to see another moderate republican switch his beliefs to gain the radical right’s vote. If elected president, it’d be interesting to see if he goes back to his more moderate beliefs, including […]

The reason gun sales in retail stores and background checks have increased is because of stricter gun law reform and regulation in the first place. And don’t you think that the fact that gun homicides have […]

“where there are freer gun controls there [is] less crime with them?” This is a complete fallacy! California has the most lax gun control laws and had 2392 homicides in 2004, 72% of them by guns. Massachusetts is […]

You don’t need to ban guns, we just need stricter laws in place- though I would fully support a ban on assault riffles.

While I agree with the sentiment, why should we not ban chick-fil-a or any company that is openly religious, but we have to take away religious monuments and memorials like the mount Soledad cross controversy in La Jolla.

I think this is amazing. I was watching the opening ceremonies with my dad, who is only 58, mind you. We saw that the USA had a female flag bearer and it occurred to me. This could be a recent development. It was- […]

Gun Control laws don’t work because they aren’t harsh enough. Look at Europe, specifically Germany, and tell me they don’t work. Germany’s citizens have the right to own guns- hand guns of hunting guns, which have […]

How is this controversial? Marijuana was passed medicinally. Why would it not be prescribed and doled out through pharmacies and other prescription facilities? It makes sense. It was never legalized- if you want […]

I think the best thing right now would be to see how it plays out a little longer. Assad won’t leave. Not because he’s power hungry but because he wants what’s best for the people, and to help reach a peaceful […]

Now that we have hit the halfway mark, it could be a good time to evaluate our position in the middle east and in the war. Should we be pulling out? Should we remove ourselves from the middle east entirely? Now […]

I think it’s very possible. Granted Abdul has a biased view of what is going on, so does our typical media, and it is very important to keep a balanced opinion and realize no side is either good or bad, and […]

Interesting point but which states don’t have an income tax?

All I can do is look to the EU. Germany’s citizens have the right to own guns- hand guns of hunting guns, which have to be kept in a locker at a shooting range or a hunting lodge. You don’t need to protect […]

I think that this will definitely exclude people from voting in this election, which is awful. But it will encourage/demand people to get valid forms of ID which in the developing US is a growing necessity.

“According to the Center for Responsive Politics, employees of the international bank have contributed $234,650 to Romney, making them the ninth biggest donor to the presumptive Republican nominee.
The campaign […]

I am so tired of hearing about this. Romney has the right to keep his tax returns, and obama has the right to not release his birth certificate. They are making a point- it took obama a long time to cave in to the […]

Holograms. Stadiums all over the world will be able to virtually host the olympics. That’d be amazing.

Thanks for the information! That helps. I know the UN was proposing a resolution to promote the study and invention of genetically modifying foods to be able to survive a drought- I guess it failed.

This is horrible, but as the world goes through its *climate change, could genetically modified foods be the answer to thriving crops in droughts?

This is an amazing breakthrough, and perfectly discrete for people who, due to whatever reasons, cannot use other ways of hiv prevention such as condoms. This is great.

This is already basically in effect iwth feeder schools- community colleges that will keep students to specifically train them to get accepted to certain universities. If certain community colleges have […]

Well researched and very well put together! Though I could have used a little more “fun” reasons!
