i'll start

origin of symmetry is the best muse album ever

[Steph]

I have never heard of the album so will have to say Disagree.

Footballers are overpaid.

[wadey]

agree

animals absures should be jaild for life

[Steph]

That's a difficult one-on a purely emotional level, I agree because I think animal abuse is evil and despicable, but, looking at it on a practical level, I have to disagree purely because this country's prisons are full to bursting anyway and a fair percentage of those in prison are serving life sentences or, if not whole life sentences, long sentences with minimum terms of at least 12 years, so to add to that number by jailing all animal abusers for life would create an even bigger problem.

The paparazzi are responsible for a lot of mental health issues with celebrities.

counsilers should stop building new things, and should be looking at how to save/help endanger species, instead of taking away their habitat

[Steph]

Agree.

The use of so much technology has ruined handwriting skills.

[JamesStanley]

Agree

Murderers should be jailed for life

[Steph]

Agree for the most part-the only area where I disagree is when it's a woman who has been abused by her husband and kills him in self defence (or something similar) although those types of crimes tend to be tried as manslaughter rather than murder anyway.

Sentences for criminal offences in general should be stricter.

[JamesStanley]

Agree

The conservative-lib dem coalition shouldnt be running the country

[07williamsdj]

agree (probably say that for most parties)

They should put less adverts on TV.

[wadey]

argee

summer hoildays should be shorter

[Steph]

Disagree-I would have said Agree when I was at school myself as I used to find the summer holidays boring particularly at secondary school where most of my friends lived abroad so I didn't have anybody to socialise with during the holidays but, now I work at a school with teenagers with severe challenging behaviour (one of our lads is going to end up in a secure unit after he leaves us), I need every minute of that summer holiday to enable me to relax and build my energy back up for the next term.

Private schools should have to stick to the same half terms as state schools rather than having two week half terms in some cases.

[wadey]

healthy food should be cheaper

[07williamsdj]

agree
Too much money goes into football.

[Remus]

Agreed.

Waterloo Road is a fantastic series.
