Food & Drink > Dining & Restaurants (Other) Should restaurants be required to list calories and fat grams on their menus?

59 of 164

Are we insane? Seriously!I would not want to know what the nutritional information is at a fine French or Italian restaurant. As long as it is fresh, why would it matter? Dining at a restaurant is for enjoyment, taste, and friends/family. How could the restaurants ever give me the nutritional information of the wine I am drin... More..

Politics, News & Issues > Baseball Are there too many Latino players in baseball?

4 of 11

Why do I write opinions on debate titles like this? The last time I stooped so low, was an opinion, regarding Victoria Beckham's reality show. That actually deserved more attention than this one.This reminds me about an issue or comment that came up, regarding too many Africans running the Boston marathon. They take away the ... More..

Entertainment > Celebrity Gossip & News Should Don Imus be allowed back on the air?

7 of 18

I am not a fan of Don Imus, nor do I care about his opinions and views on anything. I take it upon myself to "not" tune into the Imus show. It is not forced down my throat everyday either. His show does not present itself like the plethora of advertisements that find me everyday, which in most cases, I cannot avoid.Too many i... More..

Pets & Animals > Animal Rights & Issues Is it morally OK to wear fur?

15 of 37

I guess it depends on whose morals are tested and which animal is being worn. I have no problem wearing cow leather shoes or women wearing cow fur shoes in place of leopard fur. The cow is not extinct and we utilize every part of it beyond eating. Therefore, I feel it is morally OK to wear animal fur as long as the animal is ... More..

Business > International Business & Trade Will warnings about the safety of Chinese products reduce China's dominance in global manufacturing and trade?

I am a product designer and the majority of products I design are produced in China. I have seen amazing progress in Chinese production practices and knowledge over the past 15 years. The product used to be produced and manufactured in Taiwan, but now all of the Taiwanese agents and factories have set up shop in China with th... More..

Politics, News & Issues > US Military (Other) Should the US intervene in the internal affairs of other countries?

6 of 14

As a tax paying American citizen and true patriot, it is my right to question my government and it's self-interest agenda. I ask my republican government, why it has not intervened US internal affairs, before staging a war for oil in another country? Where are the WMD's? Seems like they are in India, Pakistan, Russia, Korea a... More..

Religion & Spirituality > Churches & Organizations Should Christian churches allow gays to be ordained as priests?

29 of 67

Having unsuccessfully been given guilt trips for constantly questioning Xtianity throughout eight years in the parochial school system as a youth, I have to honestly say that the sexual preferences of priests and nuns never made a difference to the madness. Good priests were good and bad were bad, regardless of whether they w... More..

Politics, News & Issues > US Politics (Other) Does America's geographic isolation make it less tolerant of other cultures?

13 of 30

Tolerant! Such a terrible word. I can deal with you, but don't step over this line!America's mental isolation make it less "accepting" of other cultures. I feel the following are direct links to the problem: American media"And next, the world in sixty seconds." The CNN's of America inject fear in many Americans about our own ... More..

Let the Europeans honor Columbus Day! It was their idea to begin with!Cristoforo Colombo, known as Cristbal Coln, also known as Christopher Columbus sailed under the Christian cross for Spain. If current day US honestly practices separation of church and state, then there is no valid reason for honoring Columbus Day, as it wa... More..
