  17. 1. I disagree
    Everyone should have the right to live they way they want. They can't change their race, so accept who they are. If you discriminate, the government has the right to oppose you.

    2. AGREE !
    It is very offending to hear racist remarks about Asian-Americans

    3. I agree
    If you can afford it, why not?

    4. I agree
    There shouldn't be a difference from rich and poor. More laws will let the people who don't earn as much feel better and not be put down.

    5. I disagree
    Even though you want to pay back for what you've done in the past, paying with money won't do. You can just say "Oh, I've done wrong in the past. Here's money to repay it. We are equal now."

    6. I agree/disagree
    How are people going to live without having a job? For old people, since they can find a job, they still need money to live. However, the people can't depend on the government for long. I think the government should give a money every few months.

  18. 1. If you own a house or apartment you should be able to rent it to anyone you want without the government telliing you that you can't discriminate against people of one color or religion? Agree or disagree?
    Agree. Why wouldnt you be able to rent your house that you own to someone, just because they were a certain race? It makes no sense.

    2. Racial discrimination against Asian-Americans is a big problem in the US. Agree or disagree?
    Disagree.
    I never see asians really get discrminated against.

    3. Everyone in the US should be able to buy a house anywhere in the US that they can afford. Agree or disagree?
    Agree. If you are able to pay for it, thats all that matters.

    4. There should be more laws in the US to protect poor people from being oppressed by rich people. Agree or Disagree?
    Agree because sometimes people are poor and its not really their fault.

    5. The US government should give each African-American citizen a sum of money ($1,000?) to compensate them for what their ancestors suffered under slavery. Agree or disagree?
    No. What they went through was horrible, but its over now. Also, if you gave money to all of them, you would have to give money to every ohter race that was discriminated against at some point, and thats almost everyone!

    6. If you lose your job the government should protect you by giving you a check every month that would pay your rent and food bills. Agree or disagree?
    Agree, but only if the family is trying to get a new job.
