  1. In my culture, the government are really stick about the gun law. People allow to buy gun when they turn 21 and they also needed a permission from their parents. The gun law should not be a really big issue because if the government allowed people to buy gun, which mean the government gave the permission to them.
    The problem is you can buy a gun, but you cannot carry it without the permission form the goverment. People don't really like the law because it is really strick. If we have a gun why we can't carry it!! It's your own gun, life,and decision. If they murder someone it is their false, nothing to do with the government.

    1. I agree with you, because gun never kill people, people kills people, so if someone want to kill others, he will never care about does he have the permission or not. gun control will never work!!!

  2. In Colombia, we have the same rules that it is interesting. I think that the problem is people don't have the criteria to use a gun. Actually, United States has a lot of problems by the easy way to obtain a gun. The government is discussing the genocide problems in the schools because young people take the father's gun and kill the school friends by bullying.

  3. I would make legal the limit of velocity in Colombia. Actually, the limit of velocity is the 80 km/h. If you pass the limit velocity, you need to pay 300 dollars to the transit minister. I think that people have the capacity to decide the limit of speed. They are conscious that they more increase the speed of their car the capacity to stop the car is decreasing. They have the license because they have the skills to take good decisions when they drive a car.

    1. I'm absolutely agree, People who can drive are old enough to make their on decision. How fast they can go it should not be a big deal because sometime people are in emergency case. Imagine, if one of your family member are in the emergency room at the hospital are you going to rush to see them or you will take time and relax...

  4. I have a good example. Traffic fines in Finland are calculated based on the income declared to the tax authorities. Here is a link to show you how that can affect your traffic fine if you are millionaire: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/1759791.stm

    Do you think that this could work in Colombia?

  5. BlaBlaCar or Uber are user led communities on the Internet to connect drivers with passengers who want to go somewhere. There is no evidence that is illegal but is not totally legal. These two "companies" work as intermediaries making it easier to travel from a point to another. There is only one requirement and it is free: to register on the website and make a profile with your attributes.
    In my opinion, this kind of "service" should be legalized because it is a good way to travel faster and cheaper. These companies are non-profit according to their regulation, so the only payment is when passengers have to pay to their drivers. This payment is according to the destination distance, therefore there is no extra money to the drivers just to cover their expenses in petrol.

    1. I totally agree, that service should be legal because it faster and cheaper as you said. It really make sense to me because I have the same problem at home.

    2. I agree with you too, because people who get the drive license mean they can drive safely and if they are over 18, they should be able to drive others so I think uber should be legal

  6. I agree with you. The last year, when Uber entered to the the market in Colombia, it had a lot of problems with the Transport Minister. Today, it has a lot of parameters to transport people but it is an excellent service to the passengers.

  7. I think brothel should be legal in the world, it is sounds crazy but think about their is too many benefits of it.
    first, government can charge tax on it, the money can go back to public
    second, that is woman's freedom, because that is their own choice and it won't hurt anyone else.
    third, there have been some country already legalized brothel, and nothing happened bad in there, so why not legalized in the whole world.
    If porn can be legal, strip club can be legal, then brothel should be legal

    1. I basically agree, but we have to concider that health condition.
      If it is legalized, the number of venereal disease will increase, which is a serious problem. In that case, we should require employees to have a periodic medical examination, as well as guests have to bring medical certificate. Medical inspection should be strictly managed by government.

  8. I would like to make "Secret Information Protection Act" illegal.
    That law has recently legalized, which restricts the freedom of speech and expression. Although Japan is a democtatic country, information is prerry much controled by media. I really worry that Japan is getting rightisit. Being restricted the right to free access to information, there would be more discrepancy between Japan and the rest of the world.
    This would mislead people and prevent entire world from peace.
