5 topics

1) Abortion- Should Partial-Birth Abortions Be Legal?-  This whole argument consists of whether abortion should be legal or not.  Obviously someone who is against abortion all together is not going to endorse partial-birth abortion.  However, how many out there that believe in abortion believe in this specific type? At what point do people who believe in abortion find it ugly and repulsing?
2)Gun Control-Although this topic is widely heating up right now based on the recent presidential election, peoples opinions are rather stagnate about gun control.  the website brings up the idea that guns are only made for one thing- killing people.  However, the concept of people carrying self defense weapons does drop the robbery and mugging rates.  Therefore, should concealable guns, and guns in general, be legal to own and use?
3)Immigration- Should laws be passed to allow people to come to our country more easily?  Right now we are going through a recession and jobs are hard enough to find for those of us who actually live here.  Why then would we want more people in the country?  However, should we force others to live in unbearable conditions in slums in other countries where they will never reach their full potential?
4)Driving Age-  What should the minimum driving age be?  For instance, there are many people who are mature enough to drive, yet aren't old enough.  Also, there are plenty of people who are of age who have no business to be behind a wheel.  This being said, what qualifications should be in place for driving?
5)Alcohol Age-  How old do people need to be to drink?  Many believe that it is more of a decision of how well you can hold your alcohol than of age, but does age actually matter?  Some scientists have decided that the human brain isn't mature until 21, but if people are going to drink underage,  why shouldn't we just lower the age?
