Second to learning, safety is one of the most import things that schools worry about. Some schools have police that guard the halls, some have invisible backpacks. Some school have put metal detectors at all of their entrances. Do you think metal detectors make schools safer? Should we have them at ATA? Why or why not?

People learn better when they are well rested. Some people think that we should start school later so students can get more sleep. Some think students just go to bed earlier. What do you think?

should you beable to walk out the classroom without asking so you can use the rest room or get water without desterbing the teahers !

Now, I do not exactly consider myself a Libertarian because I do support Government spending and Progressive Taxing.  I just don't support programs that benefit the poor at expense of the richer.

But I was reviewing older arguments and something caught my eye.  Someone had said that deciding who deserves money is not the government's job (in view of redistribution of wealth).  Ledhead (a major liberal on this site) responded by saying "right, it's instead their job to tell us who to marry, what to put in our bodies" and blah blah blah.  Sure, that argument works against a Republican, and Republicans deserve a comeback like that, but it doesn't against a Libertarian.  Libertarians are for same sex marriage (or against marriage in general), are against drug bans, against bans on all other vices.  They're basically for the government butting out of our private lives. 

This pisses off both Liberals and Conservatives, but I see Libertarians and Conservatives joining sides more often (mainly because Democrats aren't liberal where it counts).  Let's face it, Libertarians have a consistent belief structure and it's very hard to come up with bullshit arguments (like Ledhead's) against a Libertarian.  I am very close to a Libertarian except for the things I've said before, so this may be why I find their logic admirable.  But look to people like Penn and Teller or Trey Parker and Matt Stone.  They seem to be right about everything they bring up.  And they're all Libertarians.

Although, don't get this confused with Geraldo Rivera or Bill Maher, who are basically just Liberals who think it's cool to call themselves Libertarians.

Childhood obesity, diabetes  and heart disease are becoming very common among children and teens. Some schools have started requiring healthy lunches help combat the problem. Do think schools should force kids to eat healthy or should they be allowed to choose for themselves.

Argument happen all the time. Not all arguments turn into physical fights. Is it ever ok to fight someone? Can all problems be solved non-violently? When is wise to walk away? MAKE SURE THAT YOU USE COMPLETE SENTENCES!!!

I believe that many of the new laws and bills that Obama is imposing on the American people are socialistic.  The only thing he is helping is the American people into a economic and moral downward spiral that is going to anihilate the America we know and love.  This started a long time ago with the not-so-simple idea to remove God from every aspect of education and the pledge.  Now Obama is delivering the final punch that is going to knock Americans down and off their feet.  I don't think that we will get up after this one guys!

Opinions?! I want to know if anybody else out there agrees with me on this issue. If u don't you can just get over it!!!  ~!V

                    SHOULD THE PRACTISE OF A RELIGION  BE CONFINED TO A PERSONS HOME? EG;SHOULD GATHERING AT CHURCHES,TEMPLES MOSQUES,ETC. FOR THE PRACTISE OF RELIGION, (OTHER THAN CEREMONIES SUCH AS WEDDINGS/FUNERALS)  BE BANNED. 

You got to pick Daker

House, Cameron, Foreman, Chase, Cuddy, Thirteen to name a few.

The age of consent is 18 & having sex under that age is illegal. Whether it's with someone over the age of consent or if they're the same age as you.

Illegal means if you do it then the police will arrest you or do something else horrible.

Example: A 14 year old boy & a 14 year old girl are dating & really love each other. They go home & do stuff like making out, taking their clothes off, having sex, & sleeping naked together.
Should the government interfere with that?
Should the police arrest them & have them charged with having sex while under the age of consent?                                                                                                                                       Should their parents/guardians take the punishment for not watching them like a hawk 24/7?

The good side (No leave them alone) doesn't mean that you think it's okay or that you support it. You can be a religious anti-sexual who thinks it's evil but you live by the quote "I may disagree with how you live but I will fight for your right to live that way" & decide that even though you are against it you do think that it is not the government's buisness. The good side means you think that underage sex shouldn't be a legal issue. Just a personal issue.

I Evan Gragg do think it's okay for consenting minors to have sex. I am 16 & if I had a girlfriend I would do that stuff with her.

The bad side (Yes arrest those fuckers!) doesn't mean you just think it's wrong. It means you actually believe the police should arrest them & charge them with underage sex. It means you do believe that the government should interfere with them & have charges brought against them. If you vote for the bad side then you are just miserable. I label this as sexual fascism/totalitarianism. 

Every school sets its own uniform policy. Some are very strict requiring a shirt and tie some let students come in street clothes. What are some good and bad things that go along with having or not having to wear uniforms to school. Make sure you cover all of the pros and cons and that every time you post it is A COMPLETE SENTENCE!!!

Should America refrain from implementing capital punishment? Or is it neccessary to keep our judicial system funtioning properly?

So what do you people think about 'Meterosexuals'?

Are you for this new age of men where the boundaries between men and women are being weakened?

Are you against this new age of men doing/acting feminine and/or defining themselves as heterosexuals?

Please note there will be some humour so do not take everything seriously!

Well, I've always used the term as just a simple pejorative, like asshole or douchebag, but there have been some gays on this site that got all pissed off when I used it (guess they're slow with the times). 

Anyone who knows me knows that I don't hate gays for being gay or blacks for being blacks.  I hate people for being douchebags (which are a lot of people), so I call a LOT of people "fags". 

Now, it would make sense if fag was always used as a term to mean "gay" that gays would be rightly upset every time the term was used, but it hasn't.  For however long it has meant gay, it was used much longer to describe a bitter old woman or just someone who gathers firewood.  This is something I always knew, and I've even used it as a defense for myself on this site.  I am very politically incorrect and use other pejorative terms for gays outside of this site (i'm not the attacking kind on this site) just to piss people off.  I say Nigger, FudgePacker, Kike, Spic, Whop, White Trash, Chinc, Cunt, and all kinds of terms that piss off certain groups of people mainly because swearing doesn't have the the same effect it did 50 years ago (you can thank shock jocks and George Carlin for that).  But here I'm careful to just use terms like fag, asshole, douchebag and etc, and that's only for describing third parties.

But now, South Park has made an episode defining a fag as an annoying, incosiderate person who usually rides a Harley Motorcycle.  So hopefully limousine liberals (and other fags) will finally get the message on what fag means to the younger, politically incorrect generation.

On a side note, has anyone else noticed how political correctness might be starting to die off with the younger crowd?  Or is it just the people I hang out with?

"This week an article in The Times of London carried a headline that blared: “Give Up Meat to Save the Planet.” Former Vice President Al Gore, who has made climate change his signature issue, has even been assailed for omnivorous eating by animal rights activists."
