Should there be a minimum qualification to enter politics in India?

In most countries state schools teach children of a wide range of abilities together, in mixed ability (comprehensive) schools. In some countries, however, secondary education varies according to ability, with the most able children attending selective schools (grammar schools in the UK...

Museums are expensive to run, with the costs of acquisitions, conservation, maintenance, staff salaries and special exhibitions all weighing heavily upon their budgets. In many cases much of their funding comes from the government, whether at national or local level, with the remainder made up...

Many middle schools, high schools, and even some universities have began issuing laptops to students, particularly if they do not have the means to access them on their own. This is seen as a way to connect students with the Internet and the learning potential there. Others do not believe that...

Overpopulation indeed can and quite possibly will become a huge issue. Although, by having overpopulation, that means you have tons of excess people who need shelter and food and what not, but you also have tons of people working with jobs and paying taxes. So it somewhat evens out. Would you...

Open marriages defeat the whole purpose behind getting married. Marriage is supposed to be about finding someone you're willing to be faithful to for the rest of your life (or theirs), so if you're not willing to do so you may as well stay single instead of getting married but still living like...

All living creatures deserve a second chance. You don't see orphanages killing off kids, now do you? Benefits of euthanasia: -more space -smaller cost Deteriments -animals being murdered -cost of chemicals to euthanize the animals -cost of cremation. Is it unnecessary for animal shelters to...

We should try and separate politics and commerce as much as possible, to keep elections from being "bought and sold" like any other commodity. A corporation is not a person and so it should not be allowed to influence elections. What do you say to that?

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia "in progress." It is not an allowed source for a college paper, but it does list references that can be useful. Hence wikipedia is not a real encyclopedia. What do you think?

Most teachers just make us copy down notes, and explain nothing. Then when you ask for clarification on a question, they simply restate it slowly, and assume that it helped. Teachers do not teach anymore, they just instruct. Your thoughts?

Community service plays a very important role to a teenager. It teaches them that there is a lot they can do in their own communities to make a difference. If this was required to graduate, students would learn many other valuable lessons for their everyday life. Community service should be...

Not only do they co-exist, they go hand in hand. If there is a real God, that God knows that science rules. Scientific reality is God's own creation. God plays by God's own rules, and God's rules are Science! Can God and science co-exist?

If "eye for an eye" really solved the issue we wouldn't have millions of different legal systems and laws, we'd all simply have Hammurabi's Code. And not even the region where eye for an eye was created still uses that. Do you think 'an eye for an eye' has any place in today's day and age?

Competition is about bringing the best out of someone.The problem with beauty competitons is they objectify people based on looks and that is the final message the kids will get. If it were a talent competition, then by all means. However the focus will only be on what can be seen and the...

Prostitution should be legalised as a profession. I believe that there should be companies for women choosing that profession. They can even file for taxes like every body else. This would help the cause of the women who are into prostitution. Do you think it is too much to expect of a country...

The UK Police admitted there are too many pedos to monitor and track effectively. Furthermore, once they have been caught, they leave and they re-offend, they cannot be 'cured'. There was once a report that there were eight hundred thousand pedophiles in the United Kingdom. It is not possible to...

It's probably true that wealth and poverty are largely self-perpetuating, even self-intensifying, left to their own devices, and that the natural tendency of a free market economy is to accentuate extremes. Democracy is a tempering force, however. People vote for policies which limit the...

Are The big jewelry companies showing their desperation in this Economy with their overly sentimental advertising blitz? These commercials are ridiculous. It never happens that way in real life. A wife would slap his husband if he spent $1000 on a diamond for her, when they could spend that...

The UK government is going to reintroduce cookery classes in school. Will proper knowledge about the food which the students get during their cookery session at school make them have a proper healthy diet? Do you think it is the parent's responsibility to make sure their kids have a healthy diet?
