Controversial issues?

[PersocomLover]

Which controversial issues do you feel the most strongly about?

Like abortion? Animals rights? Slavery?

And give how you feel on the issue.

Well to be honest, I've always been really concerned about teens and children. I feel that today's bullies become tomorrow's criminals. I take a lot of time to speak to troubled youths, and think that we all should be doing more about it.

Politics, well, Australia at the least. Correct me if I am wrong but democracy is a system where the citizens vote for their leader. I prefer monarchy because royalty are people who were raised to rule while politicians to me just happen to be a group of idealists (aren't we all?). I believe people should be born to rule and therefore throughout their life, get acquainted to society so they can make more relevent decisions.

but the problem is England no longer have any real say in what happens to Australia. From what I gather another referendum will be put in soon (3 or more years) to make australia a republic

Well, the only say England could have in Australia was the final decision on disbanding a political party like what the Queen did to the Goth Whitlamgovernment. I don't mean to offend the Queen but I assume that the referendum may take place when the Queen passes away.

rape, it angers me to all hell, when you rape someone, you don't only attack their body, your also attacking their mind and their spirit. Not only that but if they belong to a religion and feel obligated to pray for forgiveness, what their doing is saying sorry for something that they had no control of what happened to them, which is seriously screwed up.

Lots of things are a huge problem. I live in the town with the highest crime rate in all of British Columbia. The number 1 reason for this is the Reserves for natives around my town. I am not racist. But the people who grow up there live on a very bad influence and end up being horrible people when they grow up. Countless times groups of natives have beaten up people and stabbed them near to death in my town. I cannot walk down the street and feel safe. But it isn't only natives I have even more to worry about with any drunk walking down the street. Ive been hit on so many times and even had to run once. I'm smart enough to walk safely at night but I can still run into people. I cannot trust that black shadow of a person down the side walk. They could stab me or rape me. This happens a lot in my town.

Some time ago a girl was walking up a dirt road behind some apartments. Two men assaulted her. Knocked her out with a beer bottle and raped her. Ive have heard these things happen a lot.

Now back to the native reserves. On top of those they get money for the government for being born a native and don't have to pay for a fishing license. I believe there shouldn't be any of that. It's been like 100 years since natives where killed and all that went on. We are supposed to be all equal now. Yet these people get money and live out on a reserve full of bad influences. You know what the majority of them do with all that money? Every time they get it they get totally wasted and spend all of their money. There should at lest be a misuse rule going on. These people get drunk, and look for fights. Not all of them but the bad influences make it a pretty big number.

I should probably stop that rant before people start saying I'm racist. I'm not I have met some good natives but its rare to find in this town.

Weed and smoking in school is a problem. There is a smoke pit in my last high school. But with that it could get even more people addicted. Too many kids are getting into smoking, be it from their parents or it's just the cool thing around. They say it helps with stress but it makes you even more stressed waiting to get on that next cigarette. On top of that It will shorten your life span if you continue smoking. With the weed its easy to come buy in school. In my old one we smoked it way back beside a trail covered by some trees. Supervisers have really got to keep a keen eye out. Kids smoking weed will go really far back and hidden. As much as weed isn't really that bad it shouldn't be happening in a school. You are there to learn not get stupider.

I don't find animal rights an issue. But there are still to many people hurting their animals and abandoning them in forests. I read in the news paper a few days ago about 2 kittens left on a island with no food or water. In order for them to be there they had to be taken by boat. When they were found they were weak and starving. They are in a good home how hugging each other to death when they sleep. The question comes up were there any more in the litter? and who would just abandon these poor kittens on a island with no food and no hope for survival?

I also find HARDCORE animal lovers a problem. They say they will save a dog over a drowning human any day.... what? Yeah if you don't go to jail after that it will be all over the news and everyone will hate you for being a heartless bastered towards your own kind.

Slavery does happen worldwide. Even In our own countries. The worst is when girls are sold for sex on a drug where they have no idea where they are or what they are doing. They will get raped and be killed. These girls are kidnapped and they never return.

On top of that there's just plain rape and molestation. It happens a lot to children mostly girls. There's always some 30 year old man out to get a girl who has no idea what sex is and takes advantage of that. Some boys are also raped. I knew a guy who was raped by a teenager as a kid.

Some guys just rape any girl out there. Be it his first time or he just likes it like that. Its very wrong. It scars them for life.

Well I'm talked out there's more but I'm really talked out

This...

I'm really against any type of sexual harassment , Rape can leave a child with a serious mental issues for the rest of their life .

And that was the last thing they did in all honestly, the Queen really has not had a say here in a very long time. She is more a figure head, I believe you are right, it will most likely happen then. But in all honestly being Half English and Half Australian we are better off without the queen.

(whoa long paragraph to quote)

Anyway all of the above you have mentioned I definitely find sickening but lets just say that it is hard for me to improve the situation. I live in Australia and due to the country being on an island, it is easy for authorities to monitor for such situations. In fact, the most dangerous thing that happens in Australia are people trying to imitate V8 Supercars after the Clipsal on a crowded street. This has only happened once anyway with a minimal two deaths.

I feel sorry for you nd forgive me for the vulgarity of it. If I ever had the chance to stop such things from happening i would take it as well. However, it won't only be for the sole noble reason of helping another. My main reaon is that I will find it fun to assist another and put the other in their place. Lets just say I get a nice, ecstatic feeling when I help others.

The Queen or the whole monarchy system? I am personally for the monarchy due to its potential, however, I am also for a system everyone agrees on.

I may be wrong but if we are all messed up then does that mean none of us are? For example, if we are all evil then we are all good as well. These black and white positions only exist to describe the 'other' faction. Who I would consider evil most likely considers themselves good.

not if there is a fixed standard of good to compare one's self to

in light of the good I am evil is the conclusion one would come to

so, no, they aren't the same thing

The whole monarchy system Clock.

Now this will be the first and last warning I give the both of you DO NOT double post again! you see the little button with the "+ click on that if you are replying to more then one person, if both of you double post again I will suspend you both for 24 hours.

[seirachan]

*deep breath* hooff I'm ready for more.

Something that really bugs me is people who go way overboard on things. An example is These people where saying this guy doesn't deserve his kid because he simply laughed at a video of a girl wearing or bear suit getting tackled by a man as a joke. REALLY? just because he laughed your saying they should take his kid away? I did tell them this and they banned me with there heads held high because I seriously couldn't take their stupidity anymore. They want to punish someone who didn't deserve it in the lest bit and talk down on him. They did that all the fucking time. I can't stand people who get so offended and talk so down on the littlest things.

Bad Mother's and Father's still getting the kids is another huge problem. It normally end's up as 50, 50 between the parents. Sometimes both parents are bad people. One of my friends has this problem right now. He is a alright guy but he got the worst girl out there. She was a B.I.T.C.H. Just after the kid was born she bitched at him saying he doesn't please her and that she wants an open relationship. So she slept with some idiot we all know. Then took the kid away. So he went to court and got custody on the kid but it's still 50, 50. She is a horrible woman and a VERY bad influence on her daughter. She is still sleeping around with lots of men so in half this girls life shes going to be seeing a lot of bad things.

I know another bad mother with an 8 month old son. Who knows who the father really is the girl is only 14-16 she has slept with countless men even when pregnant including my married brother, did LOTS of drugs, had sexual diseases and cheated on a lot of men. All I can say is at lest it's a boy.

I'm done most of it but I'm sure more will come up.

Is there a place I can read up on double posting and what to do to prevent it? I am not too familiar with internet language and therefore I am not too sure about what I did. I am sorry if I did anything wrong.

double posting is putting another post after one you already made

[Gringo1323]

I think the thing I consider most important right now is not really a controversy but rather a mindset. I think the worst part of human society is that each and every person in unwilling to take responsibility for his or her actions. Instead each of us points the finger at the other and says, I did it because of them. I think it is this mindset that allows a lot of the bad things that go on today to happen.
