Excuse me, I have a question

 Okay, maybe a few questions.

For this piece, unlike the Awkward Question of the Week (AQW), more simple and practical questions to the reader, rather than some sort of a ‘gotcha’.

Q1) In the rush to Net-Zero to avoid climate-change, is there any expectation that the majority parents will happily downgrade the quality of life for their children, and their children’s children?

Q2)  Am I expected to agree that it is best to fill perfectly fertile land with wind-farms and solar panels, requiring food to be imported by cargo ships that burn a petroleum byproduct, a ship by the way that can be converted to nuclear over simply taking that nuclear engine and placing it somewhere near the fertile land on a much smaller foot-print?

Q3) Does chemically and surgically altering socially confused and sexual-preference confused pubescent children, the majority of whom are on the autistic scale, falls under the ‘do no harm’ principle included in the Hippocratic Oath?

Q4) If it turns out that the majority of post pubescent people who have transitioned claim that they are same-sex attracted, will the pro-transition crowd apply any level of braking to avoid ‘cutting’ homosexuals out of society? 

Q5) What does Willie Sutton’s response on robbing banks, ‘because that’s where the money is’ tell you about those people who want to introduce K-Grade_8 children to sexually charged materials and exhibitions?

Q6) Do the following talking points adequately explain some of the impacts of millions of square and cubic meters of asphalt/concrete and sewers respectively have on the climate: 

a) Asphalt/concrete is a heat sink, 

b) Rain drainage pipes reduce ground absorption and lower water tables, 

c) Rain drainage pipes reduce water filtering and the nutrient enrichment of the soil?

Q6a) Did you know that Lester B. Pearson International Airport (YYZ), commonly known as Toronto Pearson International Airport has 926,346 square metres of asphalt/concrete for just and only the existing five runways? 

Q7) Recently the United Nations Security General is quoted as saying that “the era of global warming has ended” and “the era of global boiling has arrived” leading to two questions: the first being, was the second quote hyperbolic, with the second question being, in a closed ecosystem where and what will happen to the steam?

Q8) By what measures and metrics do you feel the various assertions that, ‘all cultures are equal’, are made upon?

Q9) Did you know that in Qatar, tourists and residents can consume alcohol in restaurants, bars, and certain licensed hotels without applying for a personal permit?

Q10) Please read the exchanges below, blatantly copied from the British TV show Yes Prime Minister:

[Survey one]

Sir Humphrey Appleby: Mr. Woolley, are you worried about the rise in crime among teenagers?

Bernard Woolley: Yes.

Sir Humphrey Appleby: Do you think there is lack of discipline and vigorous training in our Comprehensive Schools?

Bernard Woolley: Yes.

Sir Humphrey Appleby: Do you think young people welcome some structure and leadership in their lives?

Bernard Woolley: Yes.

Sir Humphrey Appleby: Do they respond to a challenge?

Bernard Woolley: Yes.

Sir Humphrey Appleby: Might you be in favour of reintroducing National Service?

Bernard Woolley: Er, I might be.

Sir Humphrey Appleby: Yes or no?

Bernard Woolley: Yes.

Sir Humphrey Appleby: Of course, after all you've said you can't say no to that. On the other hand, the surveys can reach opposite conclusions. 

[Survey two] 

Sir Humphrey Appleby: Mr. Woolley, are you worried about the danger of war?

Bernard Woolley: Yes.

Sir Humphrey Appleby: Are you unhappy about the growth of armaments?

Bernard Woolley: Yes.

Sir Humphrey Appleby: Do you think there's a danger in giving young people guns and teaching them how to kill?

Bernard Woolley: Yes.

Sir Humphrey Appleby: Do you think it's wrong to force people to take arms against their will?

Bernard Woolley: Yes.

Sir Humphrey Appleby: Would you oppose the reintroduction of conscription?

Bernard Woolley: Yes.

So, do you trusts surveys or polls that only provide the outcome without given access to the original questions used for soliciting a response? 

Q11) At what point does a state that supports a ‘stand your ground’ policy for all legal residents in statute, provide a state level ‘stand our ground’ policy for all legal residents?

Q12a)  According to the ACLU, the US federal government defines a “reasonable distance” for the CBP to operate is 100 air miles from any external boundary of the U.S, begging the question – would you sell your property within that 100 air mile limit and allow your State government to erect a wall thus blocking illegal immigrants on to what ever property you retain and or could purchase? 

Q12b) Considering the number of people who intended to illegally invade the U.S  and died crossing the Rio Grande river, does that river still show itself to be an effective moat for both countries on the Mexico U.S. border considering the number of people who survived the trek? 

Q13) With consideration toward the acts of prostitution and online applications such as OnlyFans and Instagram, should men righteously be held responsible for objectifying women, when so many women present themselves as a commodity? 

Q14) Buhamster, a music chart analysis company, found that the average lifespan of a music track in the TOP-100 charts is 45.3 days, in the TOP-10 charts the result is 44.9 days, in the TOP-3 charts it is 28 days, and the TOP-1 songs live for 16.5 days on average; are you still surprised with the number of personal-pronouns being pushed out by so many youths?
