Should a rating system be required for song lyrics?

There should be no rating required for song lyrics. If they end up getting a rating system like video games that would be so silly of a thing to do. There is already like a half fast rating system of lyrics. Explicit and Non-explicit songs. There is either songs with curse words or songs with no curse words. The radio already edits songs that are explicit and would be bad to air on their radio stations. If people don't like a song they can easily change the radio channel. It is as easy as hitting one simple button to change the station. Seems like it would put a bunch of pressure on artists and they wouldn't make as good as music they do now. Seems like a giant hassle to deal with if they did make one. For me it would make music different and also different to listen to becuase of the rating.

Should children be required to attend school past the age of sixteen?

My opinion is yes they should. The child's brain is still growing and can take in valuable information. Seems like a dumb idea to not attend school. Knowledge is power. Having knowledge will help you later on in life.

It could end up helping you get a better job in life. Even in a game show like who wants to be a million air or jepordy. Yeah kids may think school is boring and dumb but it will help them later on in life.

Should English be declared the official language of the United States?

      I think that it should be delared the officical language. There are around 50 countries around the world who has english as an official language. The United States is not one of them. Even in 1780 John Adams was pushing to make english the official language of the United States. Americans been here since Columbus sailed the ocean blue in 1492. People who make an attempt to have english the official language of the U.S. have had no successs. Even though the United States is considered a "melting pot" I still think that it should have and official language and it should be english.

Should tobacco companies be held responsible for smoking-related illnesses and deaths?

I would say no to this question. Everyone has a choice to smoke or use the tobacco companies product. The tobacco companies also have warning lables on the packages of their products to tell the consumer what harms it causes to the human body. Having the warning lables on the products protects the tobacco companies. On the other hand you would also have to think about the alcohol I think alcohol causes illnesses and death and I haven't heard anything about holding alcohol companies responsible for illness or death.

In the end the companies should not be held responsible and it is the consumers choice to use the product the companies are selling to the public.

"The Man with the Golden Voice"

I am glad for Ted. The first time I seen this guy was when a friend was on youtube and told me to watch this video. I thought it was awesome how good he was. That video of him blew him up. Ted has gotten really popular and I have heard that he anonces the a football team in the NFL. I don't recall what team though. I hope Ted's life turn's around for him and he has a good life. Very cool that the news like NBC and stations allowed him to be reunited with his mom after ten years.
