Nuclear Threat
Yikes! Today's topic is a pretty scary one. Currently 9 countries around the world have nuclear weapons, and many others are trying to acquire them. Do you feel threatened by the prospect of nuclear proliferation? What do you think should be done to eliminate the threat of nuclear weapons being used?

Legalize Drugs?
The topic of legalizing drugs is very controversial. Many people think that legalizing drugs will reduce the crime associated with the production and distribution of drugs. They also argue that legalizing drugs would allow governments to tax their production and sale, which could fund addiction programs and other government services.Those who argue against the legalization of drugs belief that it would cause a dramatic increase in the rate of drug addiction, and that it would also result in an increase in crime.
What do you think? Should drugs be legal? Would you only legalize some drugs, or would you legalize all drugs? Why?

The Environment
Over the last 300 years (but more specifically the last 60) mankind's population has grown at an incredibly rapid rate. This "population boom" has led to the consumption of more and more natural resources, and potentially catastrophic problems, like global warming.
- What are your personal opinions about the environmental changes taking place?
- What are the popular opinions in your country?
- What is your government doing (or not doing) to fight global warming?
- What should people, governments, and countries around the world be doing?
