Im doing a debate on who are heroes in society. For example how people who are materialistic, arrongant, and try to be rebels are more often viewed as heroes rather those who are compassionate and respectable. Any ideas for main points, people, or subjects that can be used would be much appreciated.

We (USA) have the worst healthcare system in the free world, a social security system that isn't secure, an educational system that's in the crapper, and a war in Iraq that isn't going too well.
Why does anyone care about keeping gays from marrying?

Ever seen someone screw up their face and say "Something smells!" then they sniff deeper?
Shouldn't it be that if something smells, try to avoid inhaling more of it?

When I turn the furnace on for the first time the house gets that oil smell and I grew up sitting right on top of the heating vent so I could be as toasty as can be and I could smell the furnace that was in need of cleaning....so now that I am an adult, that oil smell brings me back to childhood. What silly things bring you back to childhood???

That are wrathful (characters that express anger), sullen (characters that repress anger), and people that enjoyed every kind of pleasure because they believed that the soul died with the body.
For example, the wrathful could be Thomas Jefferson that had a very bad temper. Thank you =]

I like to wear a elaborate Jar Jar Binks costume and mask as part of my every day life. I went to the grocery store, and saw how depressed everyone was so I thought I would help. I started dancing in the aisles, and yelling at people, and running up to people and taking things out of their cart. It was great fun. Then when I went to check out, there was only one lane open and a long line. I screamed and screamed while in line and danced, bumping into other people. I opened a box of baking soda and threw it around. Finally I got to the checkout. I started making noises at the cashier, and I kept pressing buttons on the computer. Some people in line were groaning because the line was getting very long, but that gave me even more incentive to make them laugh. I climbed onto the table and started kicking peoples groceries on the floor and singing. The manager and one of his goons pulled me off and said I could never shop there again. Can I sue for harrasement or possibly assualt?

Why do people want to put their name or stamp on something substandard or shoddy? I can remember back as far as high school when the drama teacher had a prop I did repainted because it was not well enough(and I knew it, but still)I was ticked. Not so much that someone else painted over my work. But that I was not able to do it well enough and gave them the opportunity to knock it. When people see something I do I want them to go "Oh WOW!" Pos, not "OMG! Who in the heck did that!?" Neg. I never wanted to have my name attached to something substandard so I always did everything I could to make sure what I did was top notch, But a lot of people do not seem to care. They will do the very minimum and not more. And don't care how well the end result is.

Walmart is soooo awesome!!! I love that place. It has a wonderful atmosphere in every store. They offer goods at low price and offers employment for their community.

I think a lot of people hate walmart because they've been out-competite only because they been charging high price, ripping off their customers and they are so jealous that Walmart are the good guys!

How do you feel about gay Marriage? Should gay marriage be recognized in the United States? Should gay couples be allowed to adopt, married or not? Why or why not?

This is for a school project. I asked these questions separately a month or so ago, but apparently I didn't ask in the manner that my instructor wanted me to, so here it goes again.


Thanks.

I've seen so many questions or answers on here so far that automatically label certain people as terrorists based upon their ethnic origin or religious background. So, in your opinion, what is a terrorist? Is a terrorist to you simply anyone who wears a turbin? Or maybe its the person next to you on the subway in a business suit reading the morning paper? Have you ever asked the IRA what a terrorist is? Have you pondered asking a Muslim what their idea of a terrorist is? Feel free to answer however you wish.

The death penalty is stupid and doesn't really punish the pertrator. Wouldn't life sentence be a better option? Life would take away their freedom, where as death gives them freedom.

The Germans that enslaved Jews have created monetary funds for Jewish culture and heritage groups. Why can't the US own up to the 300 years of repression they inflicted and afford some quality schooling for black children? This is not a mere handout but an apology. I cant think why anyone would be against it.

I was forwarded an article about a certain Asian who filed a federal lawsuit against a private institution over "unfair" advantages afforded to blacks and hispanics.

I had 99% Math, 98% Verbal scores, score all SAT II's 95% plus I made it to city finals in Track and Field and Cross Country, was president of the Engineering club and volunteered and tutored. If anything from such bad public schools, that alone warrants extra points.

Although I didnt have perfect SATs, most Asians I know dont have any strong sports records and show little or no community involvement.

I think that Asians hate the fact that colleges consider extracurriculars and use affirmative action as a lightning rod.

Some say that once the brain dies the consious state seperates and awareness goes leaving nothing but just energy. Some believe the heaven thing. Do you think we still know who we are? Do you think we may refilter through to create another life(rencarnation)?
