Should newspaper reporters be required to reveal their sources?

If they are asked to, yes. I'm not expecting them to have a bibliography at the end of their article, but if they get asked where they got their information, they should be required to tell.

Should the government provide child day care centers for working parents?

Yeah, I think so. Or at least for when the children are still really young, like right after maternity leave is up. The problem with some daycares is that they have hours. If both parents are working, it can be difficult to get the child. Some parents would have to take off work. Some parents work nights. With this economy, most families have both parents working. It would be easier if the government would provide child day cares, specifically at the work sites. I know, not all work sites are suitable for children, but it would sure be helpful, not to mention beneficial.

Do "beauty" contests (Mr. America, Miss America, etc.) serve any purpose in society?

I don't think so.

Personally, I think those kinds of contests just contribute to society's standard of what beauty is. Society has America thinking that this is the definition of beauty

Which, don't get me wrong, she is beautiful, but this is the standard that America is set at. This is what little girls look at and are told they're supposed to be like.

But this is beauty too.

So she's thicker. What's wrong with that? Both of these women are gorgeous.

So, no. I don't think those contests really serve a purpose. For most girls, they set unrealistic standards and only cause trouble.

Should homosexuals be permitted to serve in the armed forces?

Do you see anything wrong with this picture?

Should homosexuals be permitted to serve in the armed forces?

Should homosexuals be permitted to serve in the armed forces? Let's think about this.

Should homosexuals be permitted to serve in the armed forces?

YES. Why? If someone is willing to serve their country, should it really matter if they prefer men to women? Or vice versa?

If a man is willing to serve his country, should his sexual orientation matter? He wants to serve the country. He wants to do his part to help. Why do you feel the need to reject him? Because he likes guys? Because he might try to hit on other men?

A MAN IS A MAN IS A MAN.

A WOMAN IS A WOMAN IS A WOMAN.

We're all humans and we all deserve the same rights. Even if we like the same gender.

You should accept the help you're offered instead of recruiting people who don't want to, just because they're not gay.

Little Shop of Horrors

Hey all
I know I haven't written in a long time, but I'm here now. Okay, to the point of this blog. I am in my school's play again this year. This year, we're performing Little Shop of Horrors. It is at FAIR school. We start at 7pm and goes to about 9pm (just a estimate). Opening night is Thursday the 17th. We're going Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights at 7pm each night.

If you would like to come, email me and I'll give you the address of the school, and maybe directions (if i can think of them). My email is as follows.
