"I prefer natural grass, but turf is a lot easier to play soccer on because turf doesn't get muddy or bumpy. The reasons I prefer natural grass is because when it is taken care of properly, it looks better, and it is softer. Also, if the turf has the…"
"I think that NATO should be watching the satellite, but shouldn't take it down until it starts being a risk to a country's safety. If North Korea is serious about starting a war with NATO, I'm pretty sure NATO will win, so I don't see much harm…"
"I think that semester tests are necessary to show that students have retained information from the throughout of the semester. However, I think that all the semester tests should weigh 10-15% at most because there are no retakes. Projects/group…"
"I think that smoking in public should be banned because everybody has the right to be safe and healthy. The only arguement for public smoking I can think of is that people could just stay away from common public smoking areas. This could cause…"
"I think that the paparazzi should be illegal. If the celebrity is posing for/encouraging the picture, than it would be fine, but taking involuntary pictures is a complete invasion of privacy. I definetly would get upset with the paparazzi. I like…"
"I think that as long as the driver isn't being an idiot, the autopilot is perfectly safe. The driver still needs to pay attention because the computer in a Tesla can't predict if an animal is going to run in front of you or another car loses…"
"I prefer to be able to pick where I sit, but assigned seating can be more beneficial. Teachers and new students will learn everybody's names easier, and the teacher can tell what kind of person you are. The biggest downside of assigned seating for…"
"We probably should ban single use plastic, but I don't think that would ever happen across the entire country. They are too affordable for businesses and really convient for everybody. I don't know anybody who doesn't use the plastic bags from…"
"I think that most of the required classses we have are necessary for most things later in life. The only one that I can't understand why we have to take it is English past 8th grade. I haven't learned a single new thing all year in English. Instead,…"
"I don't think that we should keep the penny in circulation. At the very least, we should stop making pennies if they cost more to make than they are actually worth. Also, they're just a hassle to not lose, and actually using them is almost never…"
"I think that with all the padding hockey players wear, fighting isn't that bad in most cases. Also, with an hour long game, 2-5 minutes is pretty fair. I'm sure the fighting is a big reason people like hockey. I don't know any hockey rules, so I…"
"I haven't and probaly never will use a chatbot because I don't really have a reason to. I do think that AI would be useful in the workforce as a helper or assistant to people. It would be able to save money and time. I would hate it if my job was…"
"(I got these stats after a brief Google search)Currently there are 391,000 kids in the foster care system in the U.S. In 2021, only 54,200 kids were adopted. Looking at these numbers, I don't think that it's better to have a baby and then put it up…"
"I have never experienced problems with anxiety, but I think that practicing mindfulness could be helpfull for people, especially those with anxiety. I don't think that schools need to force students to practice mindfulness because I don't think it…"
"I don't think bringing back extinct animals is ethical. Humans should not be playing God. If Project Colossal is successful, what's going to stop someone from bringing back a dinosaur. What we should be doing is saving endangered animals from going…"
Emus are large, flightless birds related to ostriches, kiwis, and cassowaries. They are found (in the wild) only in Australia. They lay about 8 eggs in a breeding season, which is in winter. The male will incubate the eggs for 58-61 days. Then the…
"I have siblings and I definetly wouldn't want to be an only child. Being an only child would mean getting all of my parent's attention and that sounds terrible to me. Also, I would probably be even less social than I already am. Although, an upside…"
"I think a sports psychologists for college sport teams is a good start, but isn't the entire solution. According to the information in this post, coaches need to lighten up on their teams during the offseason. Although, that would make the teams…"
"I think the Minimum Legal Drinking Age at 21 is pretty fair. You're old enough to make responsible decisions and you're no longer in high school. Teens binge drinking really only happens cause some think it's cool to drink a ton of alcohol. I don't…"
"I think that everybody should be required to wear seatbelts. If something keeps you safe and stops you from dying, why would you not use it. If your reasoning is that seatbealts are uncomfortable, there are ways around it. You can move your seat or…"
"I am in my second year of Spanish and will be taking 4 years of it, but I don't think that foreign language classes should be required in high school. However, I know that it would be beneficial to start learning a different language sooner than…"
"I know that walking in a single file line is better for organization and not serious evacuations, but if there is a bad, out of control fire at school, I want out of there fast. On paper, this seems like a great idea, but in an actual emergency, I…"
"I think that MAID should be allowed for the people that are eligable right now. These requirements make sense to me. If you can't make your own decisions or are to young to understand what you are doing, the person offering the pill should be…"
"I have heard about this and it is a terrible thing to hear about another school shooting. Sadly, mass shootings are becoming more and more common in the U.S. The shooter's motive probably had to do with bullying during her school years and as an act…"
"I knew that palm oil production was bad for the environment, but I wasn't aware of how much deforestation is caused by it. I don't pay attention to whether or not there is palm oil in anything I use because my parents buy everything for me and my…"
"I think there are several reasons the number of students in sports is going down. Injuries and technology are probably the reasons. I think that the reasons participation in football is going down, while participation in soccer is increasing, are…"
"I don't drink energy drinks, but I understand why others do. If you're someone who falls asleep around midnight usually ( a lot of teens do), you are not getting enough sleep and might need something to keep you awake. I think that a 16+ age limit…"
"I think the death penalty is justifiable. Crimes that people can commit to get it should include murder, rape, and terrorism. Obviously, I would never get rid of the death penalty completely, but I do believe that a life sentence can be worse. Death…"
"Fast fashion is defenitely a problem because the cons outweigh the pros. The workers need to get paid more and can. The companies they're employed to are big, famous companies with a ton of money. My family has donated some old clothes and since I…"
"I don't think that the police department and sheriff office should be unified. If we are losing police and taking the rest away from the biggest town in Shelby county, there might start to be crime and there will be less first responders. Also, if…"
"I don't know every detail surronding these allegations against Trump, but if someone has had this many legal problems, he has to have done something illegal. Based on the fact that his ex-lawyer has even accused him of bribery, I would say that he…"
"In my opinion, concealed carry should be legal if you have a permit. This world is dangerous and while people should be able to defend themselves, there needs to be a lot of regulation on who can own and carry weapons. Without regulation, those that…"
"I think that a religion class would be acceptable so long as there are no biases and students would learn about multiple different religions. If this were to be a class, it would have to be an elective because not everybody will need a level of…"
"I think that while wind energy isn't the best source of energy, it is better than burning fossil fuels. Better sources might be nuclear (if taken care of properly) or hydropower. Wind turbines are great for somewhat clean energy, but…"
"I don't think that standardized tests directly help us learn. My ISASP scores probably don't show how well I'm doing in classes because in 5th grade, there was an advanced math class and I wasn't in it. I was put in average 5th grade math and told…"
"I am in my second year of Spanish and I plan to continue it for four years. If I get the chance for five years, I will probably take it. The reason I started taking Spanish was to be able to get into more colleges and to get a better pay at my…"
"I prefer online assisgnments because they're impossible to lose and take up no space in a folder. Schools should definetly use technology because every single job uses it, its cheaper, and it saves trees from being cut down. Also, online assignments…"
"Schools having free lunches sounds great, but the problem is that most public schools can't afford them. Free lunch just means that students don't have to pay. Schools would still spend the same amount of money, but without getting any back. Having…"
"Vaping is definetly worse than smoking cigarettes because there is more nicotine in one vape than an entire pack of cigarettes, it's harder to notice, and causes lung damage. E-cigarette companies are targeting a younger audience so they can get…"
