7Ben replied to 7Clara's discussion Should the death penalty be abolished?

7Ben replied to 7Kennedy's discussion What belongs at the top of the tree?

7Ben replied to 6Anastacia's discussion New Year’s Resolution: Problem or Solution?
"I will not have any New Year's Resolutions this year, and I have never had a New Year's Resolution previously. I think they are beneficial because they will not harm anyone, even if they do not significantly help many people. I have never heard of…"

7Ben replied to 4Tobina's discussion Should smoking in public be illegal.
"I think it would be a great idea to ban smoking in public. The problem with this would be difficulty in passing and enforcing a law. If this was a law it would be very beneficial for those who smoke, as well as people who are affected by second hand…"

7Ben replied to 2/7Adam's discussion Should Students Participate in Standardized Tests?
"I believe that students should be required to take standardized tests. However, I do not think we should have to take them every year. I think we should have to take standardized tests about once every three years. This is because we already take…"

7Ben replied to 7Ben's discussion Daylight Saving Time: is it Necessary
"I understand the annoyance of changing the time, however, I do not think this is a good enough reason to remove daylight saving time. I believe this because the time only changes twice per year, and your life returns back to normal very fast."

7Ben replied to 7Ben's discussion Daylight Saving Time: is it Necessary
"My sleep schedule is also affected by daylight saving time, and that is one of the most obvious disadvantages of the practice. As you said, sleep schedules return to normal quite quickly, therefore, I do not believe this is a good reason to abolish…"

7Ben replied to 7Ben's discussion Daylight Saving Time: is it Necessary

7Ben replied to 7Kennedy's discussion What do we tell kids about Santa Clause?
"I believe that parents should allow their kids to believe in Santa. A problem is created if they wait too long to inform children that Santa is not real. The reason for this is that kids will be more excited about a magical man with a flying sleigh…"

7Ben replied to 3Kelsie's discussion Are e- cigarettes less harmful than smoking?
"I believe that cigarettes are far more harmful than vapes and there is evidence to support this. One reason for this is the diseases and illnesses cause by smoking. The most obvious illness is lung cancer which is more commonly causes by cigarettes…"

7Ben replied to 7Ben's discussion Daylight Saving Time: is it Necessary
"Although I understand each reason that you have provided, I disagree with your opinion. This is because many of the evidence that supports the continuation of daylight saving time is more signicant than your reasons. For example, if daylight saving…"

7Ben replied to 7Ben's discussion Daylight Saving Time: is it Necessary
"I do like the thought of the relationship between sunlight and time. However, shortly after the time changes, it can be more confusing to guess the time based off of this. Another potential problem is the time of sunset changing throughout the year…"

7Ben replied to 7Chloe's discussion NASA's Europa Clipper

7Ben replied to 5Annabelle's discussion Is Panera Bread Being Rightfully Sued?

7Ben replied to 7Lejla's discussion Which is more popular, Turkey or Ham on Thanksgiving?
