    Should SATS be scrapped?

    This I agree with. It's a shame they take something that is around 5 years earlier than their leaving date from school to determine the predicted grades they will get that will set them up for the rest of their life.

    Are confederates sour losers?

    When someone loses, they will never be happy and it is always best to walk away and let them lick their wounds and come to terms with it. I guess it is the same for anyone who loses something, especially after they thought they would win and got their hopes up that they would.

    Those who believe COVID is a conspiracy.

    I believe this is the best way to be and how most should be, you will however get some people who will take things too far and try to get many to believe we are being tricked.

    The idea of lowering the voting age to 12 years old.

    I feel if they know they can get away with it and they know it will benefit them, they will do it regardless and no one will be able to have a say on if it is in law. It's a shame because in a sense they are abusing their powers to allow minors who do not have a clue just to vote because they...

    Should voting be made compulsory?

    This is pretty much similar here in the UK, most do not know who to vote for or they have no faith at all in those who are offered to vote on and they instead, choose to not use their vote. If they were forced to use their vote and had to choose anyone despite having no faith in them, that would...

    Should junk food be banned for children?

    Many would argue that it was taking away their right to decide what they wanted to eat it being their body. I wouldn't say banning junk food outright is a good idea but instead limit how many fast food places there are and have rules and restrictions in place when it comes to offering deals. I...

    Should firework sales to the public be banned?

    I can see where you are coming from, businesses would be affected badly if the sale of fireworks were to be banned and a lot of the time, the issues caused are from those who get fireworks and misuse them. I have often wondered if maybe a fireworks license or permit would be a better option to...

    Dying in war = hero?

    When it comes to deciding whether someone is a hero in war, first you should look at the kind of war, how it started and whether it was a war that should have happened. As mentioned in this thread already, 9/11 and the war in Afghanistan and Iraq are ones that I would say are not where...

    Capital Punishment

    I am for the death penalty under certain circumstances such as crimes committed against minors or murder but something that always worries me as it has happened in the past is when people get falsely accused and are falsely found guilty only to be found not guilty many years later. I feel if...

    Should the right to online privacy be considered a fundamental entitlement?

    Online privacy is something we are all aware of if we use the internet frequently and as much as we are entitled to our privacy online, there may be times when that may not be feasible, which needs to be looked into for legal reasons. What are your thoughts on this? Do you feel online privacy...

    Is AI a threat to employment?

    AI is becoming more developed each week that passes by and we are starting to see people who are worrying about whether AI will eventually become a threat to employment and possibly even their job. Are you worried about AI becoming a threat to employment?

    Does the death penalty serve as an efficient deterrent to criminal behaviour?

    The death penalty is not something that is used everywhere in the world but it is still a form of punishment in some places. Many will argue that the death penalty is too severe due to how many people have been found not guilty years later whilst others feel it is a good form of punishment...

    Is it the duty of social media platforms to address and counteract misinformation?

    We know that social media is one of the worst places for misinformation and fake news but it seems that it is not clear as to who should be held accountable when things like that are posted that cause issues. Do you feel that social media platforms should be held accountable when it comes to...

    Do you like to play video games?

    I know this feeling. It's nice when you can get on and play for a little, especially if you do not tend to get a lot of time to play video games which I don't now due to work. Any chance I get I try to game and it almost feels like a reward when I can.

    Have you ever been admitted in the hospital?

    That is very lucky. I have never been a fan of hospitals at all so the times I have had to go in and stay in have not been something I was happy with. As much as I always had the option to discharge myself, I knew staying in was the better option due to the reason I was admitted. I now tend to...

    Gypsy Rose

    Many of you will have heard of Gypsy Rose Blanchard, a young woman who was abused by her mother and made to live a life as a disabled young girl lying about having different health issues to benefit her mother. It got to the point where her mother was being handed almost everything but Gypsy...

    Do You Believe in Karma

    I never used to believe in karma until I finally got out of a mentally abusive relationship I was in for around 11 years and I later found that life for him was not going as well as he thought it would. Since then I have always been a believer that what goes around comes around and karma will...

    Is abortion murder?

    This is something I would not do myself as I do not agree with it but I know that other women may have different ways of looking at things. I know from 16 weeks a test is done to check for Down syndrome and there is the option to abort if you wish to but this test is never 100% meaning if you...

    Neglect in hospitals

    I understand that hospitals can get busy and things can get crazy for those who work in the health sector but neglect is not something that we should be seeing in hospitals at all and any kind of neglect should always be reported and dealt with as soon as possible before it gets out of hand.
