Three opinions with reasoning... Here they are below
- There should be an exam to be allowed to become a parent
Before becoming a parent, I had never noticed the level of decay modern parents have reached—children left to their own devices with parents who don’t even watch where they’re going because they have to check their phone, and then they lose them. They go to restaurants and stick a phone or tablet (at 2 years old or younger!!) in front of them with cartoons for hours because “they want to eat in peace,” and you see these kids in a trance who don’t even speak, staring motionless at the screen, because playing with them is a hassle. Same at the supermarket—phone in hand so they don’t ask for anything. Parents swearing at 3-4 year old kids, calling them little shits, assholes... People clearly incapable of being parents shouldn’t become parents, only to raise kids who end up troubled or with problems.
- Euthanasia should always be allowed, especially in cases of illness
I believe that a person should be free to do whatever they want with their own life. If someone no longer wants to live, then it’s right to let them. Obviously, if someone just comes and says “I want to die,” and they’re physically and mentally healthy, they should be thoroughly evaluated. But someone with a terminal illness, a neurodegenerative disease, or who suffers daily unbearable pain—let them go if they want to go, because that’s not living, it’s just daily torture.
- Circuses with animals should be banned worldwide
I hate seeing animals exploited and mistreated. The circus where animals live happily and joyfully playing is a child’s illusion—when you're an adult, you know the reality behind it: violence, abuse, mistreatment, animals taken from the wild or raised only to be exploited. Enough. There are circuses without animals, and they are just as beautiful, if not more, to watch—even for children.
