Quote:
Should the world be free of nuclear weapon?
Yes. Nothing good comes from them.
Should English be the international language?
In my opinion, yes it should be.
Does television have a bad effect on us?
No. It is all up to the individual person though. If they choose to re-enact a scene from a movie which involves killing somebody, then that is their own choice. It's like that whole debate about GTA having a negative effect on teenagers. Pure nonsense.
Are the Olympic Games in Beijing a display of power?
No.
Do aliens exist?
Yes. It would be strange to think that they don't exist. we haven't even begun to explore the Universe in it's entirety (I doubt that will ever been done though), and there is bound to be life out there.
Will a third world war occour?
Possibly.
Is prostitution okay?
Depends. If it is what is keeping the food on the table then yes. but if they are doing it just for the fun of it then no. I know that you could have fun while earning money but I hope you get my point.
Should civilian have the right to have a weapon?
No. That's one of the problems that I think America should deal with. That whole gun situation is a bit iffy. Also, what do you mean by weapon? I do suppose you mean guns right?
Is donation a good way to help?
Yes
Are today's toys not good for children?
Depends on how the child uses it.
Should death penalty be banned?
No.
Is the islamic migration to Europe a bad thing?
Not sure.
Is Iran going to be attacked?
Not sure.
Should cloning be done on humans?
No.
Should there be a Palestinian state?
Not sure.
Can a kid be well educated by two female parents?
Yes.
Can a kid be well educated by two male parents?
Yes.
May a thing like the Holocaust happen again?
No.
Should sport be a part of everyone's life?
No.
Will there ever be a complete peace in the world?
No.
Should smoking be banned?
Yes, most definitely.
Should narghiles be banned?
What?
Has the nature been destoryed?
Yes.
Does being religious make you a better person?
No.
Is suiciding okay?
Really depends on the persons situation.

Should the world be free of nuclear weapon? Ideally, yes, but practically this is impossible.
Should English be the international language? Isn't it one already?
Does television have a bad effect on us? Yes, but it has a bad effect in general. Whether it's violent or sexual or not is relatively unimportant compared to the general harm of actually watching it. Of course, it depends on what you watch. I'd say that regularly watching sitcoms or soap operas is a lot more harmful than watching violent movies or movies with nudity in them.
Are the Olympic Games in Beijing a display of power? Yes.
Do aliens exist? Maybe, but I doubt that intelligent ones do. If aliens exist, they are probably most like our bacteria.
Will a third world war occour? Possible, but I don't know.
Is prostitution okay? I would not use it, but it shouldn't be illegal.
Should civilian have the right to have a weapon? There are good arguments on both sides, but, in the end, I have to say No.
Is donation a good way to help? Donation to what?
Are today's toys not good for children? Whether they're actually harming their physical health is doubtful. But today's toys are not much better or worse than the toys of 50 years ago. Unless I'm misunderstanding this question.
Should death penalty be banned? No.
Is the islamic migration to Europe a bad thing? No. But unskilled migration, especially if the migrants tend to live clustered together and live in areas of high crime, then immigration of this kind is bad, regardless of it being Islamic or not.
Is Iran going to be attacked? I don't know. Hopefully not.
Should cloning be done on humans? Yes.
Should there be a Palestinian state? Yes.
Can a kid be well educated by two female parents? Yes.
Can a kid be well educated by two male parents? Yes.
May a thing like the Holocaust happen again? Perhaps, but it is unlikely.
Should sport be a part of everyone's life? It'd be nice, but the government shouldn't mandate it.
Will there ever be a complete peace in the world? It's possible, but unlikely.
Should smoking be banned? No.
Should narghiles be banned? What are narghiles?
Has the nature been destoryed? Obviously not.
Does being religious make you a better person? No.
Is suiciding okay? Depends. I don't think that it should be forbidden, and I think that it may be good in certain cases, but it should be socially discouraged.

It also saves lives: The fact that Israel's enemies are afraid of it's nuclear weapon probably prevented many wars.
Should English be the international language? No
Does television have a bad effect on us? Yes
Are the Olympic Games in Beijing a display of power? Yes
Do aliens exist? Yes.
But probably unicellular and not developed creatures.
Will a third world war occour? Yes
Is prostitution okay? No
Should civilian have the right to have a weapon? No
Is donation a good way to help? Yes
But it's always better to actually go and help.

Should death penalty be banned? No

It's actually happening right now in Darfur, according to what the refugees from there who have come to Israel say.
Should sport be a part of everyone's life? Yes

Is suiciding okay? No

Should the world be free of nuclear weapon?

Should English be the international language?
-Yes, for one it's simple and widely accepted.
Does television have a bad effect on us?
-Yes and no.
Are the Olympic Games in Beijing a display of power?
-Sure they are.
Do aliens exist?
-Would be egotistical to consider ourselves the only sentient race in the universe.
Will a third world war occur?

Is prostitution okay?
-As opposed to dying of hunger? Please.
Should civilian have the right to have a weapon?
-No.
Is donation a good way to help?

Is the islamic migration to Europe a bad thing?
-No.
Is Iran going to be attacked?
-Yep.

-Good heavens no.
Can a kid be well educated by two female/male parents?
-Is that a serious question? Why not?

-It may.
Should sport be a part of everyone's life?
-No, not everyone shares the same interests even though it is a healthy practice to be pursued.
Will there ever be a complete peace in the world?
-Course not.
Should smoking be banned?
-Why?
Should narghiles be banned?
-See above.
Has the nature been destroyed?
-Are you absolute?
Does being religious make you a better person?
-Good one.
Is suiciding okay?
-No but there are cases that I could understand.

I know that this is a weird way to look at it, but it's true. Power is scary. Fear makes you do things differently.

There's another genocide and the world is doing nothing.

Any charity organization.

Then I think that it should be legal.

Darfur isn't really on the scale of the Holocaust, though.
As for donations to charity organizations, I guess, sure, why not?
As for people using hookahs, they're harming themselves, so let them.

It's getting there, so it's better to stop it as soon as possible. On every day of waiting people are being killed.

Quote:
There are 200,000-400,000 dead and 2,500,000 displaced. There were seven million dead in the Holocaust. It has a long way to go before it gets that far. It is still horrible, though. But what to do about it? Invasion doesn't sound like too good of a choice.

The best thing to do is to start with strong diplomatic pressure of many countries at ones. I think that if they realize that so many strong states turn against them because of that, it will have an effect.

Quote:
Should the world be free of nuclear weapon? Yes but this is impossible, because even if all nuclear weapons are disarmed you can't really stop people from making new ones, unless one country with nukes has total power over the rest, which isn't really prefereable either.
Should English be the international language? It's the best candidate we've got. I mean, it's not exactly a perfect language, but I've already learnt it so I don't really care

May a thing like the Holocaust happen again? Not like the Holocaust. Widespread death? most likely. Racial suppression? Yes, but not on the same scale.

I'll write the explanation of what is Narghile again:
Narghile is a Hookah.
It is basically a smoking machine for a several people that comes with tastes. It's uncommon in some parts of the world, but there are a lot of these here. Groups of people with Narghiles usually sit and smoke it together at public parks. It's much more damaging than a cigarette, and also addictive. I never touch these, but a lot of my friends like to use them.

No. There is little point in even saying yes because it will never happen.
Should English be the international language?
No. While one language would be nice, who's to say English is the most appropriate choice?
Does television have a bad effect on us?
No. Everyone takes something different away from TV. It's not TV's fault if you develop bad habits.
Are the Olympic Games in Beijing a display of power?
No. If other major powers are allowed the games, it's only fair China should be allowed to have it as well. Besides, there are better ways to display power.
Do aliens exist?
Yes. With as vast as the universe is, there's no way there aren't any aliens. Also, I've heard they tend to congregate at Walmarts...
Will a third world war occour?
Yes. Too many humans, not enough resources. War, war never changes.
Is prostitution okay?
Yes. Frankly, if a person wants to sell their body and there is a demand for it, I don't see what the problem is. Plus if it were legalized, it'd get rid of the pimps and seedy underbelly hopefully.
Should civilian have the right to have a weapon?
Yes. Absolutely. Self-defense is a basic human right.
Is donation a good way to help?
Yes. Never hurts to give a little.
Are today's toys not good for children?
No. There are some, but not all.
Should death penalty be banned?
No. Why any country wants to keep child molestors and serial rapists alive is beyond me.
Is the islamic migration to Europe a bad thing?
No. The Middle East is becomming a dangerous place.
Is Iran going to be attacked?
Yes. It will be annihilated after it attacks Israel with nuclear weapons.
Should cloning be done on humans?
No. Do we really need more idiots out there?
Should there be a Palestinian state?
Yes. It'd go a long way towards closing the rift. I'd like to think that anyways.
Can a kid be well educated by two female parents?
Yes. I don't see why a male and a female are superior to two females when it comes to education.
Can a kid be well educated by two male parents?
Yes. I don't see why a male and a female are superior to two males when it comes to education.
May a thing like the Holocaust happen again?
Yes. Sad isn't it?
Should sport be a part of everyone's life?
No. I'm not even going to go there.
Will there ever be a complete peace in the world?
No. Never. There is no profit in peace.
Should smoking be banned?
No. If people want to kill themselves slowly, let them. Just don't sue tobacco companies when you get lung cancer.
Should narghiles be banned?
No. People are going to get their hands on it banned or not, so why bother?
Has the nature been destoryed?
No. As with everything else, nature changes.
Does being religious make you a better person?
No. That's like saying not being religious making someone worse. Whether you are good or not has little to do with how religious you are.
Is suiciding okay?
Yes. If you are in cronic pain and terminal, why suffer?

I agree. I think that an easier language should be the international one. A language in which you write the same way that you pronounce. In English, it's not always like that, it takes a very long time to understand the logic of writing for someone whose mother language isn't English, and besides, there are too many exceptionals. There should be one global language, but not English, although it's very common.

But English has a wide base built up already. Plus, many other languges share much of its vocabulary.

If you want to have one universal language, you must pick one that almost nobody speaks to be fair, so I suggest dutch
Seiously, if the world had gone mad and they all want to speak only one language, then I think that esperanto is the best candidate. Easy to learn and almost nobody speaks it.

1) Too similar sounding to spanish
2) it's "western", most asian language lovers won't like it
3) did I mention it's too similar to spanish already?
Yeah I don't like how spanish sounds

Ugh, it's still the easiest (I don't mean prettiest, if you want pretty languages, go learn russian and french) and a better candidate than, say, klingon, elvish or chinese. Since it's still the most neautral and easiest one around.

Esperanto is completely neutral, and that's the most important thing.
Just for you to know, I speak Esperanto (learned it in a few hours), and it only sounds like Spanish. There are a lot of other languages in it too: Russian, Greece, Italian, etc, and a very little Spanish. Another point is it's easiness. Anyone from any place in the world can learn in VERY quickly. There's no need for a lot of practise or anything.

Should the world be free of nuclear weapon? Yes, but no...
Should English be the international language? No, because I find the english language lacking on different expressions, but an international language would be good.
Does television have a bad effect on us? No, but violent games do because the TV said so.
Are the Olympic Games in Beijing a display of power? They have always been.
Do aliens exist? Yes.
Will a third world war occour? Propably, but lets hope it wont.
Is prostitution okay? If the business is legalised and the prostitutes think its okay.
Should civilian have the right to have a weapon? Yes, so that the king of england can't just march in and boss people around.
Is donation a good way to help? Dunno.
Are today's toys not good for children? Were yesterday's toys not good for children?
Should death penalty be banned? Yes, but then there is the Star Wars prequel line: "Too dangerous to be left alive" wich might make sense, but then there is the Lord of the Rings line wich states that you shouldn't kill people who "deserve" death if you can't give life to those who deserved it. I say no to death penalty.
Is the islamic migration to Europe a bad thing? No.
Is Iran going to be attacked? Dunno.
Should cloning be done on humans? Why?
Should there be a Palestinian state? I don't know enough about the subject to answer.
Can a kid be well educated by two female parents? Yes.
Can a kid be well educated by two male parents? Yes.
May a thing like the Holocaust happen again? Yes, but I doubt it.
Should sport be a part of everyone's life? No. Why should it be?
Will there ever be a complete peace in the world? If everyone was on drugs.
Should smoking be banned? No. Bad for one's health, but its their choice.
Should narghiles be banned? what the heck is a "Narghile"?
Has the nature been destoryed? Parts of it.
Does being religious make you a better person? No. So far when people have been "too religious" nasty things have happened I.E. The Crusades and discriminating people who believe differently, but I AM NOT SAYING THAT RELIGION WOULD BE BAD. a Religious person can be just as good and even better than a non-religious person.
Is suiciding okay? Suiciding? If were talking of the same thing then I'd say no.

Esperanto is completely neutral, and that's the most important thing.
From my link Quote:
As noted above, Esperantists often argue Esperanto as an ethnically neutral means of communication. However, it is often accused of being Eurocentric. This is most often noted in regard to the vocabulary, but applies equally to the orthography, phonology, grammar, and semantics, all of which are thoroughly European. The vocabulary, for example, is about two-thirds Romance and one-third Germanic; the syntax is Romance; and the phonology and semantics are Slavic. Critics argue that a truly neutral language would draw its vocabulary from a much wider variety of languages, so as not to give unfair advantage to speakers of any of them. Although a truly representative sampling of the world's thousands of languages would be unworkable, a derivation from, say, the Romance, Semitic, Indic, Bantu, and Chinese languages would strike many as being fairer than Esperanto-like solutions as, for example, India and China together constitute about 40% of the world's population.[1]
There are two common defenses to this: One is to admit that Esperanto is not neutral in the sense that everyone can learn it with equal effort, but that it is fairer than the current system, since everyone makes a step towards common ground, even if the steps are not equally sized.
Critics reply that the steps required vary substantially, and that Esperanto merely substitutes European-language speakers for English speakers as the advantaged group.

Being Eurocentric isn't really a problem. Most of the world speaks an Indo-European language.
