There are so many different types of media and product reviews. Some are really long and very analytical, some are very short and say practically nothing, other are in between with a little background and a bottom line opinion. With everyone so busy, long reviews seem a bit too tedious. What about you - which do you find more suitable to your needs?

Should we be forced to be bilingual in our own country?

88 answers, +6 raves

So many job descriptions of late require applicants to speak Spanish and English. The last time I checked this was America, and America is an English-speaking country. Why is it we have to know Spanish to write for an English-speaking publication? To work at any local business that does not deal directly with Spanish-speaking countries? Even an office assistant in a doctor's office is required to speak both languages... They even tried to make Spanish the primary language in some South Florida schools. I am sure there are other similar circumstances in other parts of the country as well. It is my opinion, if people come here they need to learn to speak English. We did not go to their country they came to ours. And if we had moved to their country, then we should learn their language. I don't think it is right to "require" people to know Spanish or any other language for a job in the US that does not directly deal with other countries.

No! We speak English in the States thanks.	80% (70 answers)
Yes! We should cater to people speaking other languages, even if it means not getting a job.	8% (7 answers)

Local Radio Stations - Does their music suck?

17 answers, +3 raves

I don't know about the places where any of you live, but the radio stations here in South Florida are beyond horrible. The only thing most places seem to be able to play here are tunes from the 80s and 90s. And then there is the "broken record" syndrome as they play the same songs over and over and over again...all day long. Never do we hear any good new tunes...it is always the same slop. And the morning shows - not funny... Anyone else have bones with their local radio stations?

Yes! These guys wouldn't know a good song if it bit them in the ass.	65% (11 answers)

Should a mother have the right to sue friends of a girl if she drank herself to death?

27 answers, +5 raves

A woman is suing a bar and a group of friends of a girl who drank herself to death celebrating her 21st birthday. Apparently, she was often drunk. She had two drunken-driving arrests on her record. On the night in question the girl passed out at the bar and friends took her to an apartment. One friend put her to bed at about 12:15 a.m., and four of them checked on her about 15 minutes later, according to the suit. She had been unconscious for about an hour and had vomited twice when a friend placed her on her left side and left her alone. Next morning they found her dead.
