Debates


 * The debates for this week are...**

__Is BP really doing enough to stop/clean up the oil spill in the Gulf? (by: user:allie_cheer)__

//__Do you think wearing uniforms in school will make it better? (by user:Fengclaire)__// -No. The reason why schools are failing has nothing to do with what kids are wearing. Plus, I don't want to wear a uniform. :) ~Addie -Yes and No. A lot of kids get teased and bullied because of what they wear. If someone can't buy a lot of clothes they can hide that truth.But the downside is that we can't express ourselves.~Doggie-Fashion

__//Is the death penalty cruel and unusual punishment? (by user:fengclaire)//__ -Uhhh.......yeah. ~Addie -Ouch. Not necessarily unusual though, because many countries use that. But for cruel---I'd rather keep that punishment out of the country. ~LEAF YES! OF COURSE IT'S OUCH! -Amy -I don't like it but some people want to shw the pain to the person who caused pain to them. Suppose they killed many people. Someone related to the victims may want the killer to know what it feels like to die since they caused so many people to die.~Doggie-Fashion -Of course! It's really cruel! -charlottechikorita

__//Should kids be able to vote? (by user:klopfercaitlin)//__ -Sorry to say it, but no. Though some kids are into that kind of thing and would be able to be mature enough to, a lot of kids aren't. For instance, if a man and a woman were both running for president, most of the girls would probably vote for the girl and most of the guys would vote for the man. ~Addie -I say some should, and some shouldn't. But if some aren't allowed, then it shouldn't be allowed generally. Here's why I think that way... Yes: Kids should get the right to vote! We are as good as any adult! No: Some kids will make the wrong vote, meaning they vote because of peer pressure or because someone will bribe them. They don't care enough about it to vote for what they want, instead of what others want. ~Leaf No because most kids are stero-typical. If there is a really good candidate is running for president for instance, some kids might not vote for him/her because of the way they look. They don't care what the candidate thinks or whatever.-Claire Feng -I say maybe a little lower age range like 15 or 16 because if it is a president it would affect their lives as an adult since they would be an adult when the person elected would still be in office. And since they are older they may think it through. But any age younger than 15 would not be effected really by whoever was ellected. But I think children should be able to recmmend rules for the city maybe lke 11 and up that way they would actually think about it.~Doggie-Fashion
