Which social issue is going to be the hottest in 2018? (48)
ChesneyChristManchester, Greater Manchester, England UK7,144 PostsA poorer generation that fought wars is coming to the foreground. Culture wars losing ground to class politics, pizzagate and LGBT+ sidelined by pocketbook issues. A momentum building against austerity and the wealth divide, also this heatwave is making people think about climate change as a bread and butter issue.
Snowflake-ism and everything is OK- social anarchy...
The minority ruling the majority...
Lack of social consciousness...
But probably the biggest issue will turn out be putting a fee on CS...

I reckon transgendering and gender fluidity will be the big issues of this year and next year possibly....
I'd say water.
Cape Town, before some fortuitous rain, was going to be the first major city in the world to run dry, just a few months ago.
Who would have thought that Ireland would be on water restrictions?
We're all going to have to manage a very precious resouce a whole lot better.
Oh...and refugee placement.

Race relations.
online today!I hope euthanasia becomes an important topic, I watched a documentary from the Netherlands about it, I hope we can move forward on our laws here they way they have.

Euthanasia???Oh, you mean legalized murder?
online today!how can you call it murder when the person wants to die.
online today!murder is taking the soul away from someone who does not want to die, anyone in the army is guilty of that.

Ah OK, so people who join the army are murderers?But people who persuade dear old Aunt Jane to consent to "a peaceful and dignified death" so they can get their hands on her money are just good and caring citizens?
An interesting world view, my dear.
online today!i guess you have not watched videos on this, it takes a long time for it to be decided, it is not just done because the person requests it. They do not euthanize healthy people mostly it is for the terminally ill. I have ot question your human compassion if you can watch people suffer in pain.

I have no doubt that you mean well. But remember what they say about the road to hell......
In Belgium and the Netherlands, voluntary euthanasia has now given way to the involuntary killing of babies and infants.....
The Slippery Slope is not a figment of the imagination......
online today!all i am saying is if someone wants to die they should have the right to.
marlindap: all i am saying is if someone wants to die they should have the right to.
I don't disagree.But what you are proposing is not that people who want to die should have the right to take their own life (they have that right already).
What you are proposing is that people should have the right to take the lives of others.
online today!no i am not, yes they would be assisting them, but it should be the choice of that person and only that person, if it is the choice of another person it is murder.

Am glad you share my disgust at the murder of toddlers in Holland and Belgium then.Let us be frank. The number of people who genuinely want to die, but are physically incapable of killing themselves (and therefore "need" someone to do it for them) is microscopic. Negligible. To be "humane" to these people you want to open the floodgates to old ladies being pressured to die, to children being killed without their consent, to a culture in which young people are given the message "if life sucks, just die, you'll be happier".
Things have consequences, and the issue is not quite as simple as you seem to think.
