It seems like almost every day I hear about some young person starting a business, like Kara Forrest featured in this article in today's Daily Universe. I'm amazed at the risks she's willing to take. I'd like to hear from other young entrepreneuers about their experience starting a business--is it worth the risk and hard work?"

Katie writes: "I was pleased to see this article in the Daily Universe about the issues arising from jobs that conflict with Church teachings, such as beer production or casino insurance. It seems that conflicts will arise with any job--is it wrong to work for a company that airs inappropriate content? What about a clothing store that sells immodest clothing? Where should we draw the line?"

I love the atmosphere at BYU and I recognize that the Honor Code has a lot to do with that. It frustrates me when it seems like exceptions are being made for athletes. The silence of the administration on this issue makes me think they just want it to go away so that the football team will be better next year. I don't know about anyone else but I would rather have the Honor Code applied evenly to all students than have a good football team or any other team for that matter. What does everyone else think?"

Curtis writes: "Voice of America is running an article about the increasing problem of obesity in America. They cite a study that indicates that if America continues at it's current pace, more people will be dying each year due to obesity related issues than tobacco. The study also states that obesity costs our economy $90 Billion each year and 300,000 premature deaths. I'm amazed that this has become such a problem. I think much of our problem is due to the fact that our lives are becoming increasingly busy and stopping to exercise and to cook good meals has just become too costly for many people." A good point. What do you guys think about the problem? Is it something you see becoming more of a problem for you as you grow older?

Even among the BYU community heated debates arise over the way LDS Church members should respond to homosexual marriage laws. Some feel that although we disagree with their choice to act as a homosexual, we ought to be tolerant of them and allow them the right to be married (See People should be allowed to make their own choices and mistakes and Homosexuality is the threat, not marriage). Others feel that Church members have a moral obligation to take a stand against gay marriage as Jon Evans pointed out in Society's moral decisions affect everyone and as Barbara Dayton discusses in The prophet has warned us. What are our rights? Is gay marriage a right? Does it infringe on the rights of others? How far do we carry our moral convictions?

Lexi writes: "I saw this article in today's Daily Universe about 'Metrosexuals'--defined as men who 'are not afraid to show off their feminine side and spend ample time and money at the best spas.' I think it's interesting that the homosexuality culture seems to be becoming popular whether you choose to be homosexual or not. So amidst the ferver of homosexual debates, is there anything wrong with a straight metrosexual?

John writes: "I'm a big fan of the "on-campus" nap, so I was excited to see this Daily Universe article that highlights some of the best places to nap on BYU campus. I've always wondered though if it bugs people to see others sleeping on campus. Like I've heard some girls complain about women sleeping on the couches in the restrooms in the HBLL and other places. Is it an annoyance? Where should people sleep?"
