    If you had to smoke one, would you rather smoke five cigarettes or one cannabis joint?

     

  • McDonald’s

    Without looking at the link, which do you think is healthier:  (Here is the link:  Link Link)

    A salad from McDonald’s?

    Some McDonald's salads contain nearly a third more salt than a Big Mac burger and fries

    or a Big Mac From McDonald’s?

     

  • Grades and Discipline

    I was watching “Everybody Loves Raymond” last night and the issue of their child’s grades came up.

    Should a child be disciplined for getting an “F” on his/her report card?

     

  • Cleavage and Politics

    I have posted about how Hillary Clinton has come under fire for the display of her cleavage on the Senate floor.

    The presidential hopeful revealed a changing fashion sense in the Senate.

    I touched on the topic again in my photoblog and this is part of a comment from http://www.xanga.com/squeakysoul.

    “. . . this is just because she’s a woman. I notice no one is talking about Mitt Romney’s package or John Edwards’s pecks.”

    In the interest of fairness . . .

    Do you think that presidential candidate Mitt Romney’s package will be an issue in the next election?

                                                                     

  • Organ Donation

    A surgeon has been charged for giving a disabled patient “excessive drugs” to make him die faster so he could use his organs for a transplant.

    Prosecutors have said that Dr. Hootan Roozrokh prescribed morphine and an anti-anxiety drug to Ruben Navarro so he could use his organs.  Here is the link:  Link

    Have you ever been afraid to donate your organs out of concern they would kill you early for your organs?

     

  • Condoms in Hotels

    China has issued an order to all hotels to provide condoms in order to fight the spread of AIDS.

    They have also ordered them in holiday resorts and public showers.  Here is the link:  Link

    Do you think U.S. hotels should provide condoms in order to fight the spread of AIDS?

    He was upset about her sex video but the jail term for drinking and driving was the final straw.  Here is the link:  Link

    Is it me, or does that sound a little harsh?

     

  • Celebrity Chat

    I received a message from ProfessorTom on the issue of celebrity chats and he sent in a question that inspired this post.

    I have noticed that xanga has recently done a chat with Kelly Rowland and a few other bands on Xanga TV.

    If you could see a chat with one person on xanga TV, which celebrity would you like to see and chat with?

    Dr. Anna Pou gave lethal doses of pain killer to nine terminally ill patients during the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.  She has said she was only trying to relieve their pain.  A grand jury decided not to indict her.

    This has brought up the issue of doctors giving painkiller to patients that are suffering that includes lethal doses.  In fact, I was just reading an opinion article that asked the question “When is it appropriate to give a terminal patient pain medication at levels that can hasten death?”

    Here is the link:  Link

    Is it ever appropriate for a doctor to give a terminal patient pain medication that will cause that patient to die faster?
