    Are people smugglers doing good?

    People smuggling is bad, in two ways (imo). 1. Its a rort, and unfortunately, since its illegal, most cases are in a monopoly situation. People can fork out their entire life savings to get to another country (this continues in to my second point). These smugglers are making enormous amounts...

    Do you support the use of Torture ?

    Unfortunately most terrorists are Islamic today (IRA aren't, obviously), and their faith sets them on the course for Matyrdom (if they've reached that kind of hight in their approach to the situation) if they're captured and tortured. No, doesn't work. Also, has only seen the Criminal...

    If people legitimately have a case of Depression which should be medicated, then they should be seeking help for it, and it is an illness. If people legitimately have a case of Depression which needn't be medicated, then it should be understood that this can effect them as an illness. If...

    Belonging - I make things up a lot

    I haven't actually read the entire song, just the first few lines. But I noticed the repetition of the line "Nothing is sacred...". Obviously theres a point there, considering your song is about changing to belong, the artist's idea there is that you aren't permanently locked in to belonging to...

    Half yearly exams, study from now?

    Depends on how well you soak up information. I've only done mediocre (70's across the board except in Physics), I left study to days before the test. Honestly, you could do pretty well with two weeks of study imo.

    bash an aussie police officer and walk free.

    Mabye all police officers should retire so they can avoid these terrible events! :) Honestly, I'd side with the police even if they were being overly-aggresive. It's better to have that kind of enforcement than none at all, or enforcement which has no rights.

    Is this symbolism? In Bladerunner

    I haven't looked at Blade Runner that way before but, yeah your Symbolism sounds pretty clean there. You just need to tie it in with your ideas/values/context well, in which case they can't really deny you anything.

    Frankenstein and Bladerunnner. Help please!

    You should probably mention that the values of; Mary Shelley; don't allow for much positive light on technology, since she's a Romantic writer, this context was very much anti-industrial/enlightenment, which means that any technology will generally be portrayed in a negative light. Ridley...

    Now tell me this isn't evil.

    If the girl's surroundings (ie, family, government etc.) were all secular, the girl would have the right to choose for herself, and not have ridiculous pressure from other people. Secular Life, you always win.
