Food & Drink > Dining & Restaurants (Other) Should restaurants be required to list calories and fat grams on their menus?: 4 of 163
Mandatory nutritional info on a restaurant menu is a ludicrous suggestion for several key reasons.Firstly, how would you regulate those restaurants that change their menu daily to bring us the freshest, seasonal food and ingredients? You would be discouraging some of the best restaurants and chefs from practising their art. D... More..
Politics, News & Issues > US News Latest campus shootings: Are violent TV, movies and video games to blame?: 4 of 54
To say that violence in films and video games is to blame for campus shootings in the USA is to deny the underlying issues and enabling factors that allow such incidents to take place. Surely the incident itself is only able to happen as a result of how easy it is to obtain legal firearms in America? While some of the ideas f... More..
Travel > Europe My favorite holiday destination in France: 2 of 14
France is a wonderful country. I've been to most parts over the years from beautiful Brittany in the North to the Vende in the west, Haute Savoie in the east and fabulous Provence and the Cote d'Azur in the south. My favourite part, though, has to be the Cote d'Azur.Many believe it's too expensive for real people and it's onl... More..
Arts & Humanities > British Authors Is J.K. Rowling turning the Harry Potter series into dark literature rather than youth literature?: 6 of 36
Like many others in this debate, I believe that Harry potter has always had a dark side. That's part of the appeal of the books, even for the younger readers. I don't believe however, that J K Rowling is necessarily turning towards 'dark literature'. To me, it would appear that she is ensuring the level of story telling and H... More..
Personal Finance > Banking Basics Are banks making too much profit?: 2 of 12
I generally subscribe to the notion of Capitalism but I'm becoming increasingly concerned at profits being made at the expense of society and people who can ill afford to line the pockets of multi-national companies.Take banks these days for instance. The 'credit crunch' affecting the worldwide banking sector, can be partly a... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Police & Prisons Civilians, soldiers and the rules of war: 6 of 35
It seems absurd that we should even be discussing the 'rules' of war. Rules are irrelevant when it comes to war - think about it. The whole point of a war, as we know one to be, is to stop your 'enemy' and their philosophy, way of life or outlook. Generally this involves stopping that outlook or view from impacting upon your ... More..
Society & Lifestyle > Mythology & Folklore Is the Loch Ness Monster real?: 9 of 47
As a Scotsman, I have to say Yes - of course the monster exists: haven't you seen it yet? I do actually believe that there could be something lurking in the loch; given the vast area and immense depth of Loch Ness, there could be a lot of things down there that we don't know about.As a mystery, it's one of the best. The roman... More..
Politics, News & Issues > International Politics (Other) The world and its presidents: 15 of 68
I don't believe for one second that GWB is protecting the interests of the average American. From day 1 he has wanted to control the flow of oil from the Middle East so that the US can continue to consume fossil fuel and energy resources like no other nation on earth.GWB has had oil connections in his successful and failed bu...

Hobbies & Games > Kids Games & Toys Are Bratz dolls appropriate for young girls?: 12 of 44
Like many writers in this debate, I have a problem with the attitude portrayed by Bratz dolls. As a father of two young girls, I was disturbed to see the types of clothes being presented to my children as 'normal'. I wouldn't let my girls dress like that until they are much older and understand what it means to dress in such ... More..
Food & Drink > Liquors & Spirits The difference between brandy and whisky: 2 of 7
Brandy is a wine-based spirit, usually made from the juice of grapes, but can be made using other fruit varieties or grape pomace. It is made using a fermentation process. Whisky, however, is a spirit made from a grain mash (sometimes malt) that uses a distillation process as opposed to fermentation. Both are then aged in woo... More..
