What if you failed a test?And perhaps, got &quot;legally&quot; killed?How would you feel? If your state allows the death penalty, did you know that the citizens are also responsible?And if they got the wrong guy, they just took away an innocents persons life?It&#039;s just a cruel as murder, that&#039;s exactly what it is.Whatever you think about, it unjust and evil to do such as thing, to anyone.No one...<br />

Maybe it&#039;s just me that thinks this. Opinions?]]></content:encoded>

<br />
So, before you call me any kind of ranting kid who never grew up and be a real man, let&#039;s get real here:Is homework really that necessary?<br />
My home is far from school.I wake up at 5:00AM and go back home at 6, 7 or even 8PM.Wash a bit then eat a bit, it&#039;s 9AM already.Then I remember that bunch of honework I haven&#039;t finished.Then some caffeine, some writing, and it&#039;s 12AM already...<br />
Homework is a lot.Essays, math, chem, presentations, etc...They really just got me...<br />

Be prepared to back up your position with facts, because defending something purely on opinion is not productive in any way.<br />
<br />
I&#039;ll state my position on American guns, I think that the current laws are enough, so I&#039;m pro-gun, there&#039;s just so many guns in America that even if they were banned, guess who would be the only ones with...<br />

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[There is a philosophy thread, so I see no problems with posting a  religious discussion thread. I have a feeling that it has been avoided  for obvious reasons: to avoid conflict. However, there is a way that we  can approach this to both educate members who are not familiar with a  particular religion in the religion&#039;s theology as well as promote loving  and tolerating, and that is to keep discussion <b>free of argument</b>. While it is true that a particular religious belief or system may...<br />

<br />
Since we have a new Debate Forum I thought I may as well put it to use. <img src="images/smilies/grin.gif" class="mceSmilie" alt=":grin:" title="Grin    :grin:" /><br />
<br />
It&#039;s not a new question by any means but I&#039;m interested as to what other people think, mainly due to me being undecided myself.<br />
<br />
So what is it that makes a person who they are?<br />
<br />
EDIT:The question is less about <b>&quot;what is a person&quot;</b> but more <b>&quot;what is it that makes a certain individual who they are.&quot;</b><br />
In other words, how much would need to be changed for...<br />

In extreme cases like communism, the government can have too much control over the people and control the whole economy.<br />

With conservative politics, it focuses on more power to people who have usually earned it. The rich. This drives more people to become rich. It&#039;s not always that easy, but it works to an extent. In extreme...<br />
