On the HPV shot...
The HPV vaccine is given to teenaged girls and young women in a series of 3 shots, and should prevent 70% of cervical cancer cases. It appears to be an extremely beneficial vaccine, but since it has only been around for less than 2 years, it could cause side affects years from now. 2 states in the US have made it a law that all girls MUST get this shot. This is controversial because some families believe that it is their decision whether to get the shot for their daughter or not. One reason for this is because of the unknown side affects. Another reason is that cervical cancer is spread from the man to the women through sexxxual intercourse, and parents believe that if they give their daughter the shot to prevent cervical cancer, they are condoning fornication. I agree that the government shouldn't demand that girls get this shot, at least until we know that there are no side affects, but I don't think that parents should not let their daughters get this vaccine just because they think it might make their daughter have sex. Even if they have the vaccine, they still have to worry about other things, such as STD's and pregnancy, and if they are not concerned with these things, then they're probably not concerned with contracting cervical cancer either. Plus, if that girl grows up and gets married to a virgin who has no STD's and is a very decent person, that doesn't make her chance of getting cervical cancer any less. It is better to protect your daughter now against something the man she marries can't control, than not let her get the vaccine and end up regretting it when she gets older and contracts cervical cancer.
On superpowers...
If I could have any super power in the UNIVERSE, i would want to be able to read minds. That way, I could tell if someone was lying to me, which would let me know who my real friends are.
Plus, people probably think really weird things when they know other people can't hear, so I'd always be amused.

On the perfect vacation...
My perfect vacation would be with a couple of my closest friends. We would start out taking a flight down to Florida, and staying at The Yacht Club in Disney World. After spending a week rotating through the Disney parks, we'd get back on a plane and fly to Bora-Bora. We'd stay in a gorgeous villa over the water, and get very tan. From Bora-Bora, we would head over to Italy. We'd start out in Venice, then visit Florence, Rome, and finally Capri.
It would be pretty sick, not gonna lie....

On dog fighting...
Many people believe that dogs are born fighters. Dogs are only as good as they are brought up, just like humans. Believe it or not, we're animals too. And just like other mammals, we usually grow up to resemble our parents. If dogs are brought up to fight and hurt other dogs or even other humans, then they don't know that what they are doing is wrong. If it is drilled into their heads that fighting is what they are supposed to do, what they are born to do, then they believe that. Dogs put total trust in their owners, and when their owners treat them badly, the dog is not responsible for any actions. This is the same as when dogs are brought up being hit and yelled at every day, they might lunge at a child trying to bite them, because they associate hands with pain. People who abuse and fight dogs are no better than any other animal on this earth. Many of the dogs that go through this pain and fighting are either killed while participating in it, or they are found after being hurt over and over again without any medical attention. The sad part is, most of these hurt dogs have to be put down just because they either can't be healed and are in too much pain, or because they seem ferocious and cannot interact with other people. All these behaviors should be blamed on the dogs owner and honestly, I think the owner should be euthanized rather than the dog.
On illegal immigration...
I believe that illegal immigrants should not be allowed to vote because they are not citizens of the United States of America. Therefore, they should not be allowed to decide who runs a country that they do not belong to. I have no problem with immigrants in general, but if they have not passed the tests, they have no right to be a citizen and vote here. If I was to move to another country and become a citizen there, I would do it the right way: by taking the steps necessary to obtain a citizenship. I don't understand why people from Mexico come illegally into the USA, march on the streets saying that "no human is illegal," and rip down our flag to put up their Mexican flag. If they love it so much, why don't they just go back? No need to take jobs away from actual US citizens and cause chaos on our streets if they are still completely loyal to their native country rather than the one that they want to live in. We have a test to become a citizen for a reason. It's not a punishment, it's a way to keep our country safe and free of criminals.

On the death of a 7-year-old sister...
The two teens that murdered their 7-year-old sister should be charged as adults and get sentenced to at least 25 years of prison. Period.
