Not sure if this will help anyone, but it's worth a shot. Re:
  1. Ronald Reagan - Good or evil, it doesn't really matter, he's gone, and there's no benefit to arguing over how his life affected this world.
  2. Death - We're all gonna die, like it or not. "Respect for the dead" is a little baseless, unless you're religious, but at least respect someone who isn't present to defend himself.
  3. Good and Evil - These are myths. There's no such thing as objective Good and Evil. Every situation can subjectively perceived as either good or evil depending on perspective. Calling someone evil is a very ego-centric and borderline narcissistic.
  4. America - Wow, people really love this country and all the people in it. Too bad we could give a sh*t less about the rest of the world. Last I checked, all humans were essentially the same. Why, then, do we worship those people who serve only to build up "our great nation" and leave the rest of the people of the earth to rot? I say we should push for a universal government and economic system, and minimize government as much as possible. But hey, that's just me. I know most Americans would be against that, because it would lower our quality of life a little.
  5. Choice - It's debatable whether we have a choice in anything. One could say that a being of infinite intelligence and knowledge would be able to predetermine any and every event for all of history. This is a derivation of hard determinism. If you believe in an omniscient god, you may pretty much believe in it. I could debate this one issue for hours, but I'll spare you.
  6. Homosexuality - Ok, let's say we believe in choice at all. If that's the case, sexuality is, like most attributes of people, a combination of genetics and socialization. This is a fact. There are genetic attributes that will make a man more prone to homosexuality, but there are also social circumstances that will lead to the same. A great example of a socialized homosexual is the "lipstick lesbian". These are women who aren't genetically predisposed to liking girls, but practice lesbianism mostly because it's fashionable. It's still arguable that it wasn't really a choice, but it's certainly not a genetic predisposition.
  7. AIDS - The more we cure diseases by way of medicine, the stronger the diseases get and the weaker humanity gets. Read up on Darwin a bit. Not that I'm saying this is a bad thing. Remember the objective good and evil thing? If humanity destroys itself, it's certainly for the good of something. Maybe nature?
