Celebrities and Politics.

New Debate!!

Should celebrities keep their mouths shut about politics or should they be able to endorse a candidate? Before you make your decision here are some points from both sides.

Yes: Celebrities should be able to endorse candidates by wearing shirts, having bumper stickers, even talking about their favorite candidate on TV.
Celebrities should be treated just like normal people. If a normal person was to wear an Obama or McCain t-shirt, you wouldn't yell at them, would you? Just like anyone else, famous people have the right to vote and it's great that they're taking time out of their busy schedules to do so.

No: Celebrities should keep their opinions to themselves and stick to what they do best, whether it be acting, singing, dancing, directing, etc.
Let's face it, some Americans are so obsessed with their favorite celebrity that they could go from a McCain supporter to a Barack fan the minute the celebrity says 'Obama!'. An average person should not be influenced by Hollywood.

With that said, post your opinions in the comments below! Make sure to keep it clean!

Illegal Immigrants

Do you think that both mexican and chinese immigrants should be allowed to live in the US? Or do you thing that only mexicans or only chinese...ian immigrants should be allowed? Or do you think neither should be allowed? What do YOU think?

Personally, I think that they should both be allowed. Is it really THEIR fault that they weren't born in the US? Or that they live in China, Mexico, or any other country? Obviously, the US is doing way better than those two countries. So, of course they will want to live somewhere where their children can grow up and have a better life than they did. Which is the key to this whole situation - all they want is a better life. So unless the US can find some way to get them a happy life in Mexico by making more jobs, better houses, more food, etc., why can't we just let them in the US for now? Imagine yourself in the shoes of one of those countries' citizens. What would you do? Would you stay there and suffer? Or would you try to get your family over to the US ASAP?

Is it fair that some children are smuggled to America against their will? What do YOU think?

No! You should be able to have a say in whether you want to come to America or not. Many of these smuggled children and up alone and on the streets, having to work their poor butts off trying to send money back to their parents. Yeah, so their parents just want their child to have a better life. Has it ever occured that being separated from your family and having to work as hard as they can isn't exactly a better life? Unfortunately, that isn't really my definition of 'better life'. How do you think you'd feel if you had to work for 12/13 hours a day, 6 days a week or something? At your age right now? What if you never saw your family again?
