Prostituion and the sex trade.

Use this thread to discuss issues with prositution and/or the sex trade. Some possible thoughts: Is prostituion a woman's choice, or something they are forced into? Should it be legalized? You can look at global case scenarios (i.e. Amsterdam vs. Bangkok), or discuss events closer to home.

Terrorism - ISIS

Use this thread to discuss recent events concerning ISIS there is more than enough material on them. If not you can delve further back into the past: Ireland, Quebec and the FLQ and deal with the broader issues of terrorism, but remember it needs to be an issue and you need to take a firm stand backed with credible sources.

GLBTQ

Use this sexual orientation thread to discuss any issues as they pertain to Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer. Please stay focussed on the issue and large and stray away from announcing any personal issues you may have encountered due to your own orientation - that can be discussed in class if you wish

Russian fighter jets enter Canadian airspace.

Comment on the following news article if you wish - you may tie this into the greater issue of sovereignty. i.e. who owns what land, air, ocean. What threats are posed by this? Is it intentional?
