Topic: Benefits
Question: Should teenage mothers have their benefits strictly controlled?
Description: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-23309095

[Empired]

Um I was discussing this with my family a little while ago because my mum and grandma are Christians while I'm "firmly" agnostic. The question is: Assuming God does exist, is suffering and illness a punishment from Him? I suppose this could also branch out into whether or not this means God is all-loving and forgiving as well.

Not sure if this has been covered or semi-covered in a different debate to do with God but yeah..

Any ideas for debates regarding recent news? death of Cory whatshisface and drugs etc? all reasonable ideas will get a +rep from me.

What about:

Should the punishment for those who use drugs be stricter and harsher for people we deem celebrity or highly visible in the public spectrum compared to say every day citizens who use drugs but wouldn't have such contact with large amounts of people? What can be done to counter drug use and it's influence on younger people when celebrities use them and pass away such as the case here with the Glee star?

In regards to that slightly old story about Justin Bieber driving into someone wearing a white shirt and 'getting away with it'. Could do a question similar to "Do celebrities deserve exemption from certain aspects of the law/reduced sentences?". I know the vast majority would say no, but there are some deluded people on the forum (and all around the internet tbh) who were quite quick to say Bieber did nothing wrong and shouldn't be prosecuted etc.

I don't think this has been brushed up on much, I'm not too sure.

Do video games reflect your actions in real life?

Games such as GTA, does it enhance speeding, stealing and violence, things like that.

Do diets actually work?

To expand on that you could say do slimming groups actually work?

Should nursery proms be held?

I read a article today about how a few nurseries hold proms for 4 year olds, they drink mocktails and have a special slow dance with their partner. On the flip side, they get to have a buffet, play children's games and get entertained by a children's entertainer.

An expansion of this could be should proms be held at all?

Your topic name: Has the human race taken over evolution?
Debate Question: ^
Brief Description: I found a study of when white people will effectively become extinct. They also said that black people will as well, only asian people with be left... if we was still pretty basic and not as intelligent nature would guide us, the 'fittest' race would survive but now we can support each other with tech and medicine and now survival of the fittest has changed a lot. So, has humans taken nature (evolution) and formed a new version?
