On the debate of nature v. nurture with homosexuality. My mom and family blame me for the changes I have caused. Aside from the fact that I voiced the problem... family is to blame for both nature and nurture. They gave me my genes, they raised me, yet they are resentful at me for not being the way that they want.
How can certain family members resent me for not giving them children, but at the same time vote against gay marriage? If I can't even have a civil union, how would I responsibly (and financially) raise a child?
Has everything in the world been researched? If that is the case, that no topics are technically undiscovered, maybe the next step (our generation and the ones to follow) is to put the research into action.
How can I be raised by narrow-mindedness and then be yelled at for having a set opinion? I believe in reincarnation, I think the Arabs and the Japanese helped the world, I like Hillary, and a huge amount of men in the Navy currently are flaming homosexuals. There, I just offended every single grandparent.
We need more people like Elly in the government. I don't believe over-experienced one track politicians or hardcore political knowledge necessarily helps conflict. We need more people that are simple concerned individuals who listen and don't criticize instantaneously. I've said things to these people at my school about class and life that received harsh looks and criticism... that is not what this country needs. Elly for prez. :)
Schooling in Spanish/Immigration: we can't find a solution that is ideal, we need a solution that is practical. We need more bilingual teachers that emphasize teaching in English, but are able to aid Spanish speaking children so that the transition into English schooling would be more acceptable and easier. We could raise a bilingual elite for the future... free from cultural discrimination. America needs to step off its high horse and get rid of the ideal "white" American dream. We have a shit load of immigrants, we have to adapt, no question about it.
Drug cartels: they have a positive and negative impact on society. Places like Colombia and Afghanistan receive so much capital from drug trafficking, yet have so much negative influence in the governments... we can't just make them illegal... we should be more focused on regulating it. Once again America needs to be more practical in realizing the diversity in the world and the impact current mass movements of people and products currently have.
