The four topics that interest me.
#1 The war In Iraq- I think the war in Iraq can go both ways, i agree we should take our troops out of the Middle East because they are getting killed and they have been there for more than 7 years but if we take our soilders out of Iraq, we might lose our security and we may risk having more terrorist attacks to the U.S. From our troops being in Iraq, we have been spending alot of money on the U.S. armed forces but our troops have been finding dangerous weapons and we have captured terriorst leaders. For example, Saddam Hussein.
#2 Lowering the drinking age- I hear alot of 18 year olds saying that the law should be 18 for the drinking age again, but i disagree. I think the age of 21 should remain because drinking at the age lower than 21, can effect brain development and their would be more teenage deaths, from irresponsible drunk driving.
#3 Don't legalize Marijuana- People are always saying that the government should legalize weed. Marijuana is a gate way drug to more harmful substances like Crystal Method and Crack Cocaine. If marijuana was legal, then jobs and school would have a lower attendance.
#4 Raise Minimum wage- Minimum wage should be raised because people are lossing their homes because its harder to pay bills, its harder to support family, and people are overworking them selves to get little money.

The war on iraq topic is a good topic. Its very controversal, not only the war itself, but the families and troops that are being affected as well.
ReplyDeleteI agree with your thought that they shouldnt lower the age of drinking. Its already bad enough with teens drinking illegally, lowering the drinkning age with make the situation worse. But at the same time will that stop anybody? I am totally against drinking!
ReplyDeleteHi Brandon,
ReplyDeleteI like topics two and four the best! I think you have a good stance on lowering the drinking age and it will be effective since you are someone under 21. Topic four is great because minimum wage definitely needs to go up! Is there another side to this debate? If so, what is it?
Number 4 sounds good. Society is in deep crap now a days and lots of people are getting laid off, and not getting paid enough.
ReplyDelete*War In Iraq*
ReplyDeleteDebate- People for the war vs. people against the war.
My Angle- I am for the war because if we pull our troops out, we risk having more terrorists attacks.
* Lowering the drinking age*
Debate- People for lowering the drinking age to 18 vs. keeping that age 21.
My angle- we should keep the age at 21 because drinking under the age of 21, negatively effects the brain because the brain does not stop growing until the person is 21.
*Don't legalize marijuana*
Debate- People for legalizing marijuana vs. people for keeping it illegal.
My angle- I think marijuana should stay illegal because it is a gate way drug to other harmful substances.
*Raise Minimum wage*
Debate- People for keeping the wage the same vs. people raising the wage.
My angle- I think the minimum wage should be raised.
