Adoption

  • Do you think Americans should focus on adopting children only from America since there are so many who need homes?

  •  Is it okay to adopt from other countries since those children need homes too? -- or should that be the other countries' problem?

  •  Does it matter where children are adopted from as long as they are given a good home since the focus should be on the children?

  • Will it affect the child to be adopted into a family that is of a different denomination?

  • Should there be certain requirements to adopt a child? 

Thank you for your thoughts!

Welfare programs . . . for who's welfare?

Do you think that people should have to pass a drug test every month before they are allowed to receive welfare, food stamps, and other government assistance? Does it seem right to you that in Illinois you have to pass drug tests in order to be employed but you aren’t required to pass a drug test as you sit at home and collect the working people’s tax money all day? Some parents are blowing the money they are given for their families on drugs and alcohol instead of making sure their children get fed and have the things they need.  How do you feel about the people who use your money for drugs and alcohol instead of everyday necessities? Because the state cannot monitor everything that people spend their money on, do you think that there is any way to address this issue? Do you have any other thoughts or opinions on welfare and other government assistance programs?

Autism

 

What do you know about Autism?  Do you think that vaccines, environment, or a combination of both are causes?  Do these causes (vaccines, environment, or a combination of both) explain why some have more severe forms while others can function well?  Do you know where to go for information about Autism?  What do you think about Dr Andrew Wakefield?
