    Why are the pro-gun people trying to distract us from the real issues by talking about mental health?

    After Columbine, it was video games. The NRA said that guns weren't the problem, but kids were playing violent video games on the internet and learning to become violent. So we didn't change our gun laws, and we had a few more massacres over the years. This time the excuse isn't video games...

    Why do people send their kids to Christian school and then complain about indoctrination?

    Will Canada allow US citizens with health problems to immigrate?

    I'm just wondering. I know that it's usually very easy for Americans to immigrate to Canada, but what if there was an American who had major health issues and maxed out their insurance and then tried to immigrate to Canada to get their health care without having paid taxes for it? Would Canada...

    What do you think of my gun control law for mental illness?

    This is my proposal: any school, university, church, or other organization that believes that one of its students or members is mentally unsound should forward that person's name to the government so it can be put in the background check database. Those people will not be denied gun sales, but...

    Should there be affirmative action for college faculty?

    Over 90% of the faculty at most universities in the US is liberal. Conservative professors in history, politics, and law are almost unheard of. This is equally true at public and private universities. Should the government mandate that universities hire conservative professors (assuming...

    Why can't Congress debate the actual health care package rather than stupid...

    ...things like abortion funding? Abortion funding makes up a tiny portion of the overall spending, yet that's all people seem to care about. Why can't Congress focus on the big picture rather than minor hot-button details.

    What exactly is the logic in not allowing illegal immigrants to PURCHASE public

    health care? I could understand if it was taxpayer-subsidized, but since Obama's public option is going to require payment of premiums, what is the sense in not allowing illegal immigrants to get it? If they get sick without health insurance, taxpayers are going to have to pick up the tab anyway.

    I heard it from beginning to end, and I didn't hear a single thing in it that was even vaguely controversial.
