  • Pizza

    If you were getting a pizza with cheese and you could only add one topping, which topping would you add?

    A hijab is a religious headscarf.

    He is being charged with racially aggravated common assault.  He may face a prison sentence.  French saw the woman walking with her sister and two nieces.  She avoided making eye contact with him.

    French pulled on the hijab and knocked out the pins that were holding it in.  French’s lawyer said that the hijab didn’t actually come off and the woman had no injuries.  He said that it was “clearly more of a mark of disrespect than an attempt to cause injuries.”  Here is the link:  Link

    Do you think a man deserves jail time for pulling off a woman’s hijab?

                                                                              

  • Christians in Afghanistan

    I was just reading an article about how the Taliban released 21 Korean Christians that were held hostage in Afghanistan.

    The Christians were there to reach people in Afghanistan.  Here is the link:  Link

    Do you think it is wise to send missionaries to a country that is so openly hostile to Christianity?

                                                                                          

  • F1 Through F12

    Without looking, can you describe what any of the F1 through F12 keys actually do?

     

  • Age Difference

    I was just watching a video clip off foxnews.com and an expert was giving reasons why men typically marry younger women and women typically marry older men.

    Why do men marry younger women and women marry older men?

  • Racial Profiling

    A new federal policy has been introduced that requires the checking of hats as part of airport security.

    So after a person has passed airport security, the screeners can still search a hat or pat it down to check for illegal items or weapons.           

    There is a group called the Sikhs that believe that the new policy is focused on those who wear turbans.  They think that the extra check is racial profiling.  Here is the link:  Link  

    Do you think that the checking of hats at the airport is racial profiling?    

                                                                                            

  • Segregation

    Public schools are becoming more racially segregated.  Here is the link:  Link

    Racial segregation in schools is when students are separated in different schools by race.  The government does not separate them by race.  The people tend to move around and segregate themselves.

    The Supreme court ruled in June against local efforts to integrate schools.  Here is the link:  Link

    Should it be a goal of the government or any other organization to insure that there is diversity of races in schools?

                                                                                    

  • Injury

    What is the worse injury you have ever received?    

                                                                                      

  • The Home Depot

    Dustin Chester stopped a thief from running away from The Home Depot with stolen money.

    The Home Depot rewarded him by firing him.  Dustin confronted a man who was standing by a soda machine with a crowbar and money.  When he confronted the man, he started to run.  So Dustin caught the thief and restrained him until the police arrived.       

    Dustin didn’t know it was against company policy to catch or detain thieves.  Here is the link:  Link  

    Do you think Dustin should be fired for catching the thief?
