  • Why are there severely mentally disabled people in school?

    Now, I don't want to offend anyone- I don't mean people with Down Syndrome or Autism. I mean SEVERE mental condition. There are people in my school who are not able to talk, feed themselves, or even acknowledge another person. Some are both physically and mentally disabled and are pushed around in wheelchairs as they drool and make random noise.

    I just don't get the point of sending them to a school? (This is a rigorously academic highschool)?? A school is made to learn. I pity them because they are incapable of learning even remotely close to the level of the other kids. Isn't it better to send them to a hospital or something? They create disturbances in the hallway and in the classroom when we are taking test we can here some guy roaring maniacally in the Special Ed Classroom next door.

    After all, we don't send small babies or three legged-dogs to school. Why should we send these people when they should be seeking professional medical help?

    Thanks for your opinion.

  • Do you believe Oscar Pistorius's claim?

    He is not denying he killed Stevenkamp, but he says he thought she was an intruder. But he shot her FOUR times AND hit her head with a cricket bat without even bothering to check who it was? I personally think there is too much evidence against him.

  • Why do Native Americans call themselves Indians?

    They're not Indians. Indians live predominantly in the country of INDIA in South Asia.

    It's annoying, because when I want to know the demographics of South Asian Indians living in America I search on Google "Indians in America." And all the results refer to multiple Native American tribes who for some reason call themselves Indians. Despite the fact that there are actually more South Asian Indians in the U.S. than Native Americans.

  • Why can't we own bombs or tanks?

    It makes me upset that we Amurricans can't have any tanks or bombs. After all, the 2nd Amendment gives us all a right to own basically whatever weapon we want.

    Liberals are killing the 2nd Amendment! What do we care about endangering peoples' lives? We want them dangerous weapons, and we want em now!

  • Are there cheetahs in India?

    I was in Karnataka (state in South India) for a visit, and we were staying on a coffee plantation farm. I noticed that one of the local neighbor's who owned many cows, would fence in the cows inside before going to sleep, even though most would just let them roam around free.

    I asked him why, and he said because "he doesn't want the cheetahs to attack them"

    To my knowledge, there are no cheetahs in India, so I asked him if he meant leopards. He said very clearly he meant cheetahs, not leopards. It is not just him. All the other local people spoke of not going out alone in the early morning because of the cheetahs.

    I thought cheetahs were wiped out in India long ago. Are they still confirmed to be living there?

  • Is the Indian media racist?

    I watched several Bollywood films, and all the actors were very light-skinned, as much as average Caucasians. Most Indians are brown-skinned though.

    Also, when I visited Karnataka, I watched a little television. For the commercials it always showed light-skinned women holding up toothbrush, or something. However, in Karnataka, a majority of the people were darker-skinned, almost as much as Africans.

    Do you agree with me, or am I exaggerating?

  • Why are their so many African-Americans in pro basketball/American football?

    NOT TRYING TO BE RACIST!!!!

    I was watching a game of basketball one day, and I noticed about 80% of the players were black, while a lot less of the general population is black. Nothing against that or anything.

    Just wondering. Is it a cultural thing or what?

  • Should there be mental health test for buying guns?

    I can't believe there isn't in many states! Why would we need more guns in the hands of people like Lanza?

    I applaud Martin O' Malley.

    Why should an average citizen be afraid of a mental health test or a fingerprint test unless they're a criminal?
