Entertainment > Celebrity Gossip & News Should Paris Hilton get one million dollars to tell her jailhouse story on NBC?: 15 of 97
Morally she shouldn't be getting paid $1,000,000 as(lets face it)an ex-con. She broke the law more than once (driving over the alcohol limit and driving without a license) and she is a criminal. How many criminals do you know that get paid a million dollars for a little interview. But we live in a totally immoral world obsess... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Government & Policies Should smoking be allowed in public places?: 76 of 363
Where are my rights? That is the most common excuse that smokers have come up with in their defence. They have a point but .....ummm hello your rights kill people-maybe not immediately but eventually and slowly smokers will die and take passive smokers with them. It is not solely the smokers fault that they maintain this atti... More..
Sports & Recreation > Sports & Recreation (Other) Is the new 'Twenty20' cricket version a curse or a boon?: 4 of 17
The future of cricket as a TRUE world sport lies in 20/20 cricket. At the moment there are 10 test playing nations and Zimbabwe's future lies in the balance. Surprisingly there are another 27 countries that are listed as playing organised cricket worldwide but realistically there are only 6-7 of them that could potentially pl... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Thoughts on God Why people believe in God: 61 of 134
For thousands of years people have questioned their own existence. We are a curious bunch of beings-we humans. We have to not only know why but how? The main reason we used to believe in God is a reason for things we didn't understand. The ancients believed in God or pagan Gods because of fear. Thunder struck or an earthquake... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Sports News & Opinion (Other) Should steroid use ever be allowed in professional sports?: 19 of 41
Ladies and Gentlemen please welcome the fastest man on earth Bill Gates? That's an exaggerated comment but the meaning is quite clear. If steroids are allowed in sports the athletes with the greater access to money will win. The clean athletes that have virtually no finances will not exist. I still am amazed when someone from...

Politics, News & Issues > Basketball Why other countries are catching up to the US Men's National basketball team: 7 of 14
It is no longer an issue for the international teams to catch up to team USA but rather the other way around. The US team has to catch up to the rest of the teams. They haven't won a gold medal at either the Olympic games or world championships since Sydney 2000. There are a number of reasons for that.The rest of the world es... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Religion & Spirituality (Other) Should the Bible continue to be used for swearing-in ceremonies and in courtrooms?: 161 of 254
Do you seriously think that a criminal in a court of law is sitting there thinking -"oh no if I lie God will know and punish me". The only thing he/she is thinking is "I can't believe how easy this is to get away with". What is the point of swearing on a bible to tell the truth when you are an atheist? We are living in the 21... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Death Penalty Is the death penalty an effective crime deterrent?: 84 of 118
I am definitely FOR the death penalty not because I am a sadistic bloodthirsty creature from the middle ages but because I don't think the SCUM that murder, rape and torture people especially children don't deserve to live. But unfortunately I don't think the death penalty is an effective deterrent. Anyone that commits a prem... More..
Parenting & Pregnancy > After School Should parents raise their children without television?: 279 of 305
Mission Impossible has often been accomplished in many different fields and areas of life but this would be one mission that would realistically end in failure. Restricting television viewing hours would be a more suitable option.Television is not just about sport, reality shows, movies and naked news-( I honestly never watch... More..
Society & Lifestyle > Society & Lifestyle (Other) Recognizing real-life heroes: 35 of 36
Athletes are extraordinary individuals that do amazing things but that does not mean they are extrordinary human beings. I love sports and the action and atmosphere and drama they provide. But I cringe and laugh anytime someone describes a game and uses the word hero or brave to describe a certain sport star. Gimme a break! W... More..
