    Should teachers be allowed to smack children?

    Social Services (Child Protective Service in the US) are garnering more power over parents, however, in some circumstances this is warranted.

    The US mass shooting thread

    It's awful, and very sad all of the knife crimes in the UK...that's another good point too. When you take away the guns people will find something else to use instead, like knives.

    The US mass shooting thread

    America needs to get back to "family" however that's defined. People need support systems. There will always be guns in the US...you could take the guns away from the good guys, but the bad guys will never give up their guns. It's a serious problem, but I believes it starts with people caring...

    Should the voting age be lowered?

    I'm not sure, here in the US, one party wants to lower the voting age, but for the wrong reasons. I still think 18 is good, but there are very mature 16 year olds that I would trust voting. Double-edged sword?

    Should all police officers be allowed to carry guns?

    Yes, I'd rather be around a good guy with a gun, and I'll take my chances in a bad situation.

    Should there be kids and teens in government?

    Nice thought and it's always great to hear from young people and their opinions, just not sure of their ability to vote maturely though? I think social groups in high school may help to fill that roll if those students have direct access to government institutions to share their voice.

    Should school uniforms be abolished?

    The purpose of school uniforms are to send the message of uniformity, conformity, and blurs the social enequity of students. Not saying I agree with it, but that's just my observation. I think there's a place for shirts with logo's in a tech industry where one is going into businesses for...

    Are footballers paid too much money?

    I've always thought that the payment scale for entertainers and sports was way off the scale. In my world view, I'd rather fund academia, science and inventors where those amazing people can make a difference in our lives by our monetary support rather then the billions that goes to the...

    royal family/coronation

    Since I'm American, I'm not too qualified to have an opinion, however, I tend to agree with the part of privilege that's funded by tax payers.

    Is the internet and technology good for kids' development?

    Indeed, TL. ;) The internet can be an amazing tool, if used in the right way with monitoring of course with small children. I would even go further to add that certain games can really spring board a child's reading and speech skills because they want to learn everything about the game. That's...

    Is the internet and technology good for kids' development?

    If the internet is introduced in the right way, a child's experiences/exposure to the internet could accelerate their achievements in any academic skills so much faster then without the internet.

    UK firearms laws

    Define the medical conditions that would prohibit someone from acquiring a firearm? There lies the problem. Just the other day America had another mass murder at a Kentucky bank. The guy that shot 6 people and injured 9, did not have a record. He was a stellar athlete in high school and also...

    China jails man who scared chickens to death

    Rabbits are very fragile. We used to have some. They also can be very sweet or very mean. The does (doe-females) can actually be pretty mean and I found the happiest and more gentle were the bucks (males). Go figure?

    UK firearms laws

    I don't think risk assessments based on certain conditions should be part of a background check as much as determining criminal background history. However, the caveat, is there's always a first offense and often times, one is not caught and gets away with it or the records don't show the...

    ChatGPT discussion thread

    I have a very skeptical stance on most new tech until it's proven to be safe and non-threatening. Skynet of Terminator comes to mind a lot as this new ChatGPT technology takes over. As miraculous as it is to have AI write your term paper, the loss of the human equation in creating an original...

    USA gun laws

    I will also have to read your articles when I have more time. I've been keeping up with the Second Amendment and laws on my website, so good to see discussions elsewhere too.

    China jails man who scared chickens to death

    Rabbits are the same way. If you startle them, they will freeze up and perish very quickly. I've personally witnessed this. It's very sad, as I love animals.

    NHL Chat

    Love hockey only because I was a figure skater a century ago, and a lot of my friends were hockey players. I don't watch it though, but I would if I had time.
