There is a lot to comment on in this article, so feel free to skim around and focus on certain parts. Is there something wrong with making dolls that are so realistic, or paying so much for them? Which uses for the dolls are more understandable for you than others? How do you think you would react if a Reborn was put in your arms?

When to say you’re sorry
When should governments apologise? Is apology a sign of weakness or a sign of strength? Did Obama act appropriately in this situation in terms of waiting until all the information was in? Is Pakistan’s reaction understandable, or are they shooting themselves in the foot? Finally, what can be done to minimise friendly fire incidents like this one supposedly was?
The family that eats together....
This article claims that family meals are on a steep decline in America. Do you agree that this has to do with the economy or are there other reasons? What about Slovakia? How often does your family sit together to eat? Do you agree with the benefits which this article claims are connected to eating together as a family? What about trying to create “family meals” when those involved are not related to each other?
When plain old art isn’t good enough
Would you be interested in seeing some of the “art” exhibits described here? Do you think it is a good idea for museums to cater to a larger crowd by making art more popular and interactive? Is the writer correct that these things do not belong in a museum, or is he being a bit of a snob? Is part of the problem that modern art is trying too hard to be orginal and shocking when nothing is original or shocking anymore?
Why is America still great? Because of the non-Americans there.
Do you agree that immigration is a positive phenomenon for the health of American science? Is science a good measure of economic health in general? How does this compare to the situation in Slovakia? (Don’t forget to click on “continue reading” to get the full article.)
Fighting back against the bullies
This is the last entry you can comment on for December.
What do you think of this mother’s reaction? Is her excuse that it was instinct reasonable? Do you think mothers can become more violent than fathers when they feel that their children are threatened? Did the police react in an appropriate manner? What should be done about bullying?
