Pain Killers
Is society too dependent on pain killers? Should people be able to take certain pain medicines if they feel they need to? Should doctors consider more whenever they perscribe a pain medicine? Keep in mind how addictive they can be and how some abuse pain killers to get high, skinny, etc. How do pain killers affect their lives and the rest of society? What can be done to prevent these problems?
Thank you for you time and responses!

Legalize Marijuana?
Legalize Marijuana?
Should smoking marijuana be legalized? Why not? What about for medical use? If so, should it be taxed by the government? Do you think the crime rate would drop if it was legalized? Do you think private companies should grow and market it? Should you be able to smoke it out in public, or should it have laws similar to alcohol? What should the minimum age limit be? If it was legalized would you try it?
Thank you for your input, Jeff

GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS
It seems people everywhere are jumping on the band wagon, whether they need it or not. A lot of pressure is being put on different city budgets across the state. Government programs are supposed to be a hand up, not a way of life. Do you think these programs are a burden to society? How do you feel about people cheating the system? Why is it some people needing help are refused? What do you think about a woman having a baby every two years and is on the program so she doesn't have to work to support herself or her children?
Thanks for your response, Jesse
Same-Sex Marriage
What are your views on same-sex marriage? Should it be allowed? Should same-sex couples be forced to accept a "separate-but-equal" approach towards the recognition of their union (civil unions, domestic partnerships)? If you feel that they should be allowed domestic partnerships/civil unions but not marriage, do you feel they should have the same rights as a heterosexual married couple? Should religion play a role in the government's decision of whether to allow same-sex marriage or not? Do you know any same-sex couples? If so, has their relationship affected your views on the topic?
I have tried to include all sides of the argument in the links below--the first being neutral (ideally), second being pro-marriage, and third being opposed. The fourth link is to a list of the 1138 rights only allowed to married couples.

Illegal Immigration
What do you think about illegal immigration? What do you think should happen to all the illegal immigrants already living and working in the United States? Should children born in the United States to illegal immigrants be allowed the same health benefits that the children of the legal poor receive?
Thanks for your input.

Age Differences in relationships
Does a 20-year difference in age make a significant difference in a relationship and can such a relationship stand the test of time? Do your views change if the relationship is interacial?
What do you see as the primary drawbacks or benefits to a relationship in which one person is several or many years older than the other?
How much older/younger than you would you allow your partner to be? Why?
Thank you for your help!
