Politics, News & Issues > Climate Change Global warming: What's the real truth?: 2 of 86
By now we all know about Global Warming and CO2 emissions. The Polar Caps are melting, Venice is sinking, forests fires increase, jellyfish overtake most of the Mediterranean Sea (two-thirds to be exact) and our taxes get bigger and bigger. Everybody knows the story as newspapers from Europe to Asia and beyond talk constantly... More..
Computers & Technology > Phone Technologies & Issues Should cell phone use be banned while driving?: 13 of 270
The fact that there is no law that bans the use of mobile phone while driving demonstrates the stupidity of the Government. Numerous deaths have occurred because of this matter. Every week tens of people die each State die because they are talking on the cell when they should have their full attention on the road.Last year a ... More..
Politics, News & Issues > War in Iraq The Pentagon reports rising violence throughout Iraq: Who's to blame?: 3 of 38
I am astonished that there is even a debate about this matter. The answer is plain and simple. The blame is in most part on the US. President Bush has clearly lied and brainwashed the public in sacrificing themselves in their millions in a war which is a lie. Unfortunately he specially sent the messages on to the Southern Sta...

Arts & Humanities > British Authors Is J.K. Rowling turning the Harry Potter series into dark literature rather than youth literature?: 4 of 31
The Harry Potter books are definitely getting Darker. But this is an obvious choice as Harry, Ron and Hermione and the characters around them grow older. Also the appearance of the Dark Lord would not have been half as strong if this was a youth series. The books had to evolve with the plot to leads it characters to mysteriou... More..
Society & Lifestyle > Social Values & Norms The youth of today are not ready for the challenges of tomorrow: 11 of 42
The youth is more than ready for tomorrow's challenges. Adults today have become more conservationists in their views towards young people. This is because they could not make the big changes that they expected to do between the 60's and 80's and have become; like the generation before them, closed of to any new ideals. But t... More..
Computers & Technology > Computer Buying Tips If you only have one computer, should you choose a desktop or a laptop?: 9 of 32
A few months ago I had this discussion with my father. We came to the conclusion that a Desktop was much better than a Laptop for a number of reasons:1. Desktops have much more space than a Laptop. Ever since I was a small child I played computer games and I still do. The requirement at the time was about 32MB, but now they r... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Justice System Is the death penalty just or unjust?: 14 of 46
Is or is the Death Penalty not just? The answer is not a simple one. It depends on the circumstance of the event and the crime committed. On most circumstances the Death Penalty can be avoided. Even in some murder cases the culprit can have a sudden revelation of the devastating consequences of his actions. Yet cases like Al ... More..
Politics, News & Issues > News Industry Should the government control talk radio to make it more "balanced"?: 34 of 110
Allowing the Government to control our radios is like handing the keys to your house to a burglar and hoping he doesn't take your property. This was the 1950's US. People lived under the belief that the Government told them the absolute truth about everything. Then the Hippies changed all that for a while. Now today the Gover... More..
Entertainment > Movie Genres Zombie movies: Which are more effective, fast zombies or slow zombies?: 20 of 58
The truth is that it depends on the genre of film being watched what the speed should be like. Action films tend to have faster zombies (in a ridiculously large army, but then again Hollywood has become the Wow' factor in cinema.) Comedy like the British Shaun of the Dead', Thriller', and Horrors like The Night of the Living ... More..
Business > International Business & Trade Should the US continue the Cuban trade boycott?: 12 of 29
Continuing boycott with Cuba is just plain pointless. The US needs to forget the events of the 1940's and stop their tries to convert every single country into Democracy' as they have failed before and will continue to do so. After all, if they did not trade with Communists then why do they trade with China, one of the last s... More..
