WEEK 17

Many controversies have begun over the Mayan calendar predictions of the apocalypse. Some believe it's true, some don't. However, the recent weather occurences have started to head towards that direction. Do you think the world will really end in 2012?

end of the world

I don't believe that the world is going to end next year. I don't think that God would let people, who don't even believe in him, know when the world was going to end. I do agree that the recent weather changes have been looking that way, but I don't think that it's a sign that the world is truly going to end. I think it is more of a sign that something needs to change and that our economy and the safety of our environment need to be protected. If the world were really going to end, I don't think that we would know about it. Therefore, I think we just need to change a few things.

WEEK 16

The recent death of Osama Bin Laden has blown up the news reel. Many rejoiced after hearing of the assassination of the terrorist. Most recently though, the new problem society is asking for is photographic evidence of Osama Bin Laden's death. The government has decided not to give it out. Do you think this is reasonable?

Bin Laden

Yes. I do think that this is a reasonable decision. Even though Bin Laden was an awful man and did much harm to our country, he was still a human being. His religious traditions regarding death need to be respected. I think it is stupid for society to be asking for his pictures. It is obviously him. Even his widow identified the body as his.
