Question #9: Is pornography harmful?

The traditional view is that pornography is both degrading to women and harmful to men and women in many facets of life including marriage, health, etc.

Some now say that a libertine view of sexuality is not only acceptable, but is healthy and should be part and parcel of the fabric of our lives. This includes viewing and creating pornography.

Is pornography bad for men/women/both, good for men/women/both or completely neutral?

Question #8: Are elevated arguments harmful to marriage?

I recently read the following:

Even happily married couples can have screaming matches-loud arguments don't necessarily harm a marriage.

Others maintain that while some couples may be able to survive a screaming match, the actual screaming match itself is intrinsically harmful.

Question #7: Is Tim Tebow Wrong?

There have been a couple of columns written denouncing Tim Tebow's open faith. One columnist put it this way:
Certainly, Tim Tebow must be applauded for the good he does working on his father's missions, but he should be seen, too, as one who promotes a form of belief that makes unwelcome judgments about everyone else's religion. Let's not forget the twinge that is felt by sports-loving Jewish kids and parents, for example, or by champions for interfaith cooperation, when adored sports figures like Tebow use their fame to push a Jesus-or-else message.

One counterpoint was phrased this way:
What is important to see is that [Tebow's critic] is advocating for a different worldview (a religion, if you want to call it that) that you can read more about in his piece. It’s the religion of "no one is right, so let’s stop talking and just get along".

The question is not, "Should Tim Tebow shut up?". But rather, on what basis should anyone speak about what they hold to be The Truth?

Question #6: Do Women Have a "Domestic" Instinct?

Domestic is defined as work associated with the home.

Some say that men and women are different by design. And by that, women naturally are want to take care of the home, children, etc.

Others say that while women may have an inclination for protection of children, their upbringing and environment are what generate the lion's share of domesticity.

Question #5: Do You Think The BCS Should Remain The Determinant For College Football Champion?

Pretty simple. Some say it's a great tradition while others say that the status of the free world is in jeopardy.

Question #4 Is the current economic downturn a great evil to overcome?

It has been stated that we should use any and all means to stimulate the American economy (we see this mentality play out with the multiple stimulus packages by the current and previous administrations).

Others say this is a necessary correction of the market and that, furthermore, it should lead to a great quake in the lives of Americans to shift their excessive ways.
