Should the anthem be changed? Is the Canadian anthem as bad as the anthems in the second article? Are there any things about your national anthem that could be offensive? How important is it that a country has a proper national anthem? Do we need them anymore? Is this an unimportant issue that should not be discussed?

Also, be sure to read the comments. The language is a little bit tough, but you can do it!

What concerns you the most about genetically modified foods? Is it the food chain, your health, permanent changes to the environment, scientists playing God, etc.? Should genetically modified foods be clearly labelled on their packaging?
