What impact do Wal-Mart's business practices have on the US Economy?
I really don't like these 'US Economy' questions; I don't like questions that center around vague terms like that one. Similarly, I don't know what exactly 'business practices' is supposed to mean. ...

What is the net impact of Wal-Mart on local communities?
This question assumes that Wal-mart's presence in local communities will always have the same impact--or at least that its impact on all communities can be qualified singularly, in spite of any and al...

Is Google's Code of Conduct a realistic standard for a publicly traded company to adhere to?
"Will the google team be forever able to live up to its Code of Conduct, as outlined on the following webpage: http://investor.google.com/conduct.html"This eliminates the subjective question of good v...

Should Google be required to get explicit permission for inclusion of copyrighted material within Google Print?
This should definitely be under the 'Copywright' topic list, wherever that is. I don't know what Google Print is, which makes me think that many others don't as well. So I'm not exactly sure what th...

Is New York City the "Capital of the World"?
Obviously, this is a biased question. It might as well be asking, 'Are you as biased a New Yorker as I am?' I think this is the sort of thing we should be looking to avoid.

Is New Orleans dying?
Honestly, I don't think this question is appropriate. For one thing, cities don't die, so it would need to reworded. For another, it's presumptuous and offensive to state as fact that the city might...

Is there an ultimate meaning to life?
I'm not sure that this question belongs on this site. But it's a perfectly fair question, so post it if people want it.

Should the U.S. use propaganda to influence foreign opinion regarding the war on Iraq?
I think Jacki's question is good; except that it needs to read 'by using propaganda,' not 'with propaganda,' or it sounds like we're asking about influencing 'Iraqis with propaganda,' an under-represe...

How does the media portray war protestors?
I like Clark's question. Give equal say to both sides of the issue in the question and the answer. Otherwise, simple as the question is, it's a little too muddy, and therefore too biased.

How should the U.S. military approach its foreign military bases around the globe?
I think this is a good question. Everyone just picks a side, and defends it.

Alex comments on this issue

Is the U.S. military budget appropriate?
The word 'appropriate' will certainly allow for a wide debate. But I'm not sure that makes it the appropriate word. I would choose the word 'justified' before 'appropriate,' in asking the question B...

Does the market react rationally to market events?
I wouldn't say that the question is biased; and it certainly would spark a debate, (though perhaps only about the meaning of the word 'rationally'). So, by that standard, I give it the OK. It strike...

Do living wage regulations help the poor?
Again, this is a much better type of question. I think this works well as is.

Alex comments on this issue

Should the minimum wage be raised?
Esperanto's is a good point about the different types of minimum wage. I think this is a great question, though. I think it makes a lot more sense to have questions like this, listed under 'US econo...

Alex comments on this issue

Are current consumer debt levels a danger to the US Economy?
I like the idea of this question a lot. I think it's an important question that doesn't get asked enough. Just what effect does all of this consumer debt have on the country? I personally wouldn't ...
