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?

As the challenger, there is topic number two!

For the last three years or more, police have been spending a lot of time and money arresting pedophiles (adults who like children). At the same time, Halloween costumes (and general clothing) for young girls has been getting more and more provocative (please look this word up). Why do you think this is happening when it is clear that thinking sexually about young girls is a terrible crime?

Also, should these types of costumes be illegal?
Should parents allow their children to wear these costumes?
What do people think about little girls who wear these costumes?
What do you think about little girls who wear these costumes?
Is there Halloween in your home country? If there is, what do people wear? If there is not, is there another holiday when people dress up in costumes?
