America After Obama


What do you think will happen to America after Obama? Do you think America will be better or worse than we are today? Based on all the changes that Obama wants to make (gay marriage, pulling troops out of Iraq, Partial-birth abortion), will they help our nation, or make things worse?

Cloning--a good idea?
















Should human cloning be legal? If so, why? If not, why not? What are the ethical implications of human cloning? How are these different for animal cloning, and why? What are the religious implications of human cloning?

Considering the controversy of this issue, do you think cloning should simply be banned in all cases? Or do you think it's acceptable in some instances? If so, when is human cloning acceptable, and why?

is she too young?




My wife and I are ten years apart in age. Does this difference matter? Would it be preferable somehow if she were ten years older than me? When dating or choosing a spouse, how much should age matter? Why? Have you ever dated someone significantly older or younger than you? If so, how did that go? Thanks for your time--

How far is too far?




In the days of our grandparents, people with tattoos were something of an oddity. Today, men with piercing and women with tattoos are not really that big of a deal. A new subculture has arisen, one far more extreme than has ever been seen. Gauges and other odd piercings, subdermal implants, and in some extreme cases amputation of certain limbs. What do you think is going on? Are people going crazy or should people be allowed to truly do what they want with their bodies?


Thanks!

Gay adoption . . .


Do you feel that gay couples should be able to adopt? Does it really matter as long as they give the child what they need as far as attention, care, and love in the household? Do you think it’s better for a child to be raised in a gay household over a heterosexual household that’s dysfunctional ?
Thanks for your help--

War on Drugs. BUST?!


Does the war on drugs work? In 2005 it was estimated that the government spent 12.1 billion dollars on drug control alone. They spent an addition 30.1 billion incarcerating drug law offenders. Is this a waste of our tax money? Could they better be spending it on our economy? Do you think marijuana should be legal? What actions do you think the government could take to help the war on drugs actually work?

Cardinal Sins?


As Americans, do we need to learn and do a better job of not breaking the cardinal sins? (Lust, Gluttony, Greed, Sloth, Wrath, Envy, Pride)


Do you think this will make the United States a stronger and more unified country?


If everyone did follow them, do you think the stereotypes of Americans would change? and how?


What would the United States be like if everyone did follow the Cardinal Sins and didnt break them so offten?

Are judges in family courts always correct?


You are in the middle of a child custody battle--the ex-husband and his girlfriend decide to fight for custody after having nothing to do with the child for 2 1/2 years. The mother has done nothing wrong except to try and bring up her child. The ex-husband and girlfriend lie and pull in their friends to lie, the judge buys their story, and the child is taken away from its mother. You can appeal but no new evidence is permissible. What do you do?


Do you think that judges are fair and impartial? You find out after the battle that this particular judge always goes with his favorite attorney, his friend so to speak. What do you do? Where do you turn? If you know that people are lying in a case, what can you do? Should our judges have the final say? What can we do as citizens to prevent this from happening?

Fine arts


1. Were you any part of the arts in high school? Which ones and why?
2. How did being a part of it affect other aspects of your life?
3. Are you a part of any now? Why or why not?
4. If you could be a part of any one… which one would you pick?
5. When you see someone who is passionate about one art or another, how does that make you feel?
6. Do you believe kids these days are getting enough of the art in their schooling as opposed to sports?

thanks!
