Education > College Life Should colleges punish marijuana-smokers more severely than underage drinkers on campus?: 5 of 7

Marijuana, unlike alcohol, is illegal to everyone, regardless of age, time of day, and how much is ingested. Therefore, it should reach a higher degree of persecution. Most of the time, marijuana will get a student kicked out from either their dorm or college, while underage drinking only requires the student to take an alco...
Entertainment > Movie Genres Zombie movies: Which are more effective, fast zombies or slow zombies?: 28 of 37

Inaccuracy does not mean efficiency. Slow zombies are, you could say, scientifically proven to be more realistic without the science, itself. Zombies are rotting human beings. They are not going to be able to run fast, nor have the cognitive capacity to make themselves exert such force. They simply need to feed, and since th...
Politics, News & Issues > War & Peace Are Republican leaders pulling away from their support of the War in Iraq?: 14 of 17

George W. Bush and the Republican party want to end the term with a bang - and pulling their support away from the War in Iraq is a strong way of saying that we are finally bringing troops home. The method to their madness is to start a program, an effective program, for finally ending the War in Iraq and bringing troops hom...
Relationships & Family > Dating Commentary Are online daters real couples?: 20 of 24

A couple of emails, a few instant messages, a direct connect, and a picture - the perfect recipe for a relationship - not quite. Online dating, now-a-days, seems like a way to find a girlfriend or boyfriend if you're either A) completely desperate or B) cannot find someone to date you in real life. Seriously, why would you b...
Politics, News & Issues > US Immigration Should US immigration reform focus on amnesty for illegal aliens or tighter enforcement of borders?: 16 of 19

Creating the next Berlin Wall to keep illegal immigrants out of the United States is not going to stop these actions from taking place. Instead of "tightening borders," literally, we need to focus on making our policies stricter and making it impossible for illegal immigrants to take what they desire from the United States, ...
Politics, News & Issues > US Elections Should the US government help fund election campaigns?: 12 of 14

It's not a question of "should" they help fund election campaigns, it's more like "are they willing to" help fund election campaigns. If the US government, especially concerning the parties, wants to help fund a certain candidate's campaign, that's perfectly legitimate. Often times, the candidate running will gain so much mo...
Society & Lifestyle > Racism Can't African-Americans, Hispanic-Americans, etc., just be called Americans?: 38 of 44

"I am an American." If that was true, nobody would refer to themselves as their ethnicity other than American. Purebred American. "I am an American," is a falsehood. African-Americans and Hispanic-Americans are often considered minorities in America, thus causing reason to wanting to stick out with a separate name. Being con...
Politics, News & Issues > Politics in Africa Can UN peacekeepers bring peace to Darfur, Sudan?: 11 of 11

Taking part of a mock United Nations for two years in high school, it became apparent that the only purpose of the organization is to make it seem like something is getting done about very serious, sometimes deadly world-wide issues. In reality, bills are passed, and strides are taken in achieving the goal. In a bill involvi...
