Ok. So I am an American citizen and want to know how people across the seas feel about certain topics. Tell about what people are saying about one listed below(they are big topics in the US) or tell about another huge topic in your country or city.

Racism
Cross-Race Marriages
Same sex marriage
Terrorists
Obesity
Global Warming
Or: Do tell about a topic everyone is discussing in your country or area, I am curious.

As usual everyone in my area is talking about rugby, sheep and how much better the place would be if they separated us from England.:p
If there are more topical conversations going on I tend to shy away from them as I'm a big believer in what I don't know, can't hurt me.:cool:

Racism
Didn't belong in any century, let alone this one.
Cross-Race Marriages
Fine.
Same sex marriage
I have no problem with it, but I don't think calling it "marriage" is feasible, since the Jesus Freaks will never let it slide. Call it a Civil Union, and then work on having religious nuts stop claiming they own that like a trademark.
Terrorists
Justified torture (for extraction of information from known terrorists, not for identification of suspects). Again, a situation where a combination of religion and pure stupidity have a negative effect on society.
Obesity
Being overzealous with the safety of kids certainly isn't helping them keep active.
Global Warming
Yes, it exists. No, there's no certain proof it's caused by humans. With between 36-70% of the greenhouse gases being attributed to water vapor, are alternate fuel sources (like hydrogen power, whose byproduct is water vapor) really the solution anyway (assuming it's not a natural climate change)?
Or: Do tell about a topic everyone is discussing in your country or area, I am curious.Big Brother season Infinty Plus One, with a close case of a sexual harassment suit; and people are only just now starting to realize how freaking stupid the whole reality TV thing is. Tools.

...and people are only just now starting to realize how freaking stupid the whole reality TV thing is.
I thought them idiotic 3 years ago.:cool:
Racism: Will always be here. (regardless of what politicians say)
Cross-Race Marriages: In a hundred years or so, all people will be brown.
Same sex marriage: Agree with unions and not marriage.
Terrorists: Will always be here. No war will end it.
Obesity: No change. Fatter and fatter. Will get worse.
Global Warming: No evidence to support effects on a long range basis.
Just my Continental between the Pacific and Atlantic thoughts.:cool:
