			<description>You know, I have noticed how comments about the jokes in the &quot;Joke&quot; section just keep popping up in almost all of the other sections, so I'm wondering:



Who gets to decide when a joke is appropriate? Why do we all have to get offended if we accidentally read a joke that we don't like? Can't you tell from the first line or so if it will be something you find morally offensive? If it is, do you really have to comment on it?



I, personally, get accused of not being able to take  ...</description>

			<description>Okay, so this question stems from Beth's journal section. 



Do you think it's okay to compliment a person other than your spouse or significant other on his or her looks? Or does it just depend on how it's given? 



For example, Bran said that he vowed to &quot;denut&quot; anyone that ogles his wife. 



How exactly do you define ogling? According to Webster, to ogle someone is to stare at them impertinently, flirtatiously, or amorously. Do you agree/disagree? </description>

			<description>How do you feel about the bill they are trying to pass saying that all women about to get an abortion must first have an ultrasound?



I think its a great idea. I think, especially with younger women, they don't understand exactly what it is they are doing. If they can first see what it is they are killing, then they can make a more educated decision (hopefully that killing this tiny little being is wrong).

Of course, the people for womens rights (idiotas) are saying its emotional blackmail....well  ...</description>

			<description>So I need to hear some other folks opinions on this subject.... (please read the two articles posted in the News section) so I can get a broader understanding.



Here's what I'm thinking right now... true, your sexual orientation does not effect your ability (at least physically anyway) to serve in the armed forces.... but what Pace said... it's immoral.... and they don't accept adultery in the ranks (of course that is when they find out about it) so why should they allow homosexuals??

			<dc:creator>Amanda</dc:creator>
			<description>Do you think children should get allowances? Why? Why not? 



Personally, I think it's a good idea as it teaches children to be financially responsible. If a child spends all of his/her allowance at the beginning of the week, and then see something they want or just have to have on Friday, they will begin to realize that not all purchases are wise decisions and thought should definitely take precedence over impulse. 



I do not think that the completion of basic household chores should  ...</description>

			<description>On the topic of debating... I think it works better if everyone gives their opinion on the subject... that way we can all see everyone's opinion.  



I think where our system fails/problems begin is when everyone gives their opinion on everyone else's opinion.  That is when personal attacks and resentment begins.

			<description>I would like to debate/discuss abortion.  I thought we would all have the same views anyway but Gavin said &quot;you never know&quot;.



I think any form of abortion is wrong.  But then I heard someone (tv/radio I can't remember) say something about cases of rape and incest.



And I thought... well....   



And Gavin said, it's still murder/killing, no matter how the conception came about.  And I thought, true, and having the abortion isn't going to get rid of the memory of the rape  ...</description>
