High school students should not be required to pass an exit exam in order to earn a diploma.

Please... no more exams. How can kids want to "learn" when learning doesn't help them as much as test-prep does? There's no fun in learning how best to answer exam questions. Students should show that they can apply what they've learned throughout their school years - this is not the same thing as "exams".

A naturalized citizen should be allowed to run for President.

You are either a full citizen or you are not. How does it serve the country to prohibit the people from electing the candidate of their choice because he "hit a triple" instead of being "born on third base"?

Transgender athletes should not be allowed to compete in the Olympics.

I really can't imagine why anybody would think this is a good idea. I am completely against unnecessary medical procedures - cosmetic surgery that is reconstructive is fine, but not that which is purely aesthetic. I don't see how the medical profession even justifies surgery to take a human body that has no physical problems and convert it to the other gender. So a 400 lb guy becomes a woman and competes as such in the Olympics???? Excuse me for being intolerant here, but that's outrageous!

Military academies should not permit athletes to forgo active duty to play professional sports.

If you can't forgo active duty to be there for your child during his first year of life, you damned sure ought not to be able to forgo it to be an obscenely-paid circus performer!

Beijing's air pollution will not affect the performance of athletes competing in the 2008 Olympics.

Athletes learn to compete in a lot of different conditions. Will someone win only because someone else had more trouble breathing the same air... that's a hard argument to make....

States should charge sales tax for online purchases.

Why have a double-standard that hurts the people that bring jobs into your local economy? Would you really prefer that people buy from Amazon than Mom and Pop?
