Help me out - Controversial issues
I think I spelled controversial wrong... but that's okay.

Guys, please help me out...

I need a list of issues that many people disagree on so that I can write a persuasive paper.

Now, it can be something like Abortion, or whether Pete Rose should be in the baseball hall of fame.

AHH! Help!

Nothing as silly as "McDonalds or Burger King', but it doesn't have to be toooo deep, you know.

Thanks a lot.

Canada is better than the US by a long shot

The Figure skating judging fiasco of the Olympics last week.

Whether or not there is any solid proof to go after Iraq.

I was still very angry that the Russians recieved gold as well.
I didn't watch the ceremony but I hope they were heartily booed.

<br>You're really enthusiastic about the music that you like. You attempt to discover your new favourite
band every week. You continually try to get your friends into the music you like, which annoys them, but you don't know it. At least you're not arrogant about it.

Messing around with DNA... whether it be gene therapy, cloning, or the human genome project (i dont know, is that contravertial...? cloning is for sure)

over here the MMR vaccination is very topical at the moment, I dont know if that would be relevant for you Phil.

What about fox hunting? (topical because its just been banned in scotland) and Boxing... also topical just now what with whats-his-name being given a liscence in washington DC. Crazy.

umm... i had more but they've left my head. sorry.

I disagree. While I feel the Canadians deserved to win (and therefore the Russians didn't), the Russian skaters didn't do anything wrong (morally). They skated to the best of their ability, and got a gold medal. I feel bad for them, because they have taken a LOT of abuse for something that wasn't even their fault.

That being said, I was very pleased to see the Canadians get their gold medals.

IHL,
Mickey

You cannot fault the skaters themselves as they weren't in on the whole scam. You can fault the French judge and the others involved, but not the skaters themselves.

They'd all be saying, "Isn't that like, a Protestant thing?" Sorta like how most of us were with Lent.

I think the Russians should have refused their gold medals knowing that they did not deserve them. They took something that they know they recieved though cheating even if they didn't know at the time.
