Thank God It's Monday Thank God It's Monday

We're taking it way back to our first episode ever. Why? When it comes to explosive topics like the death penalty and abortion, we've realised that it's easy to get caught up in the legalities and our own ideas and opinions. While discussing these topics in office, we've had to remind ourselves that the people we're talking about are still human.

Enjoy this throwback and remember, humans deserve some form of basic dignity. Whatever that looks like to you, take some time to think it over. 

A conversation that never gets old... Abortion. It's been at the focal point of political debates, dinner discussions and social media posts. Pro-lifers and pro-choice communities have been fighting for decades. This week we discuss our views on abortion and where we lie with our beliefs on whether or not we agree with it. It's a tough topic and one we believe each person needs to make their mind up about through educating themselves and having open, honest discussions with those in their community.

A much-debated topic... Should the death penalty be instated as punishment for heinous crimes? Where does human dignity come in? We present to you two contrasting opinions... One that fights for human dignity and allowing people the opportunity to rehabilitate within the security of prison and one that strictly advocates corporal punishment.

If you’d like insight into someone’s worldview… Ask them about soulmates. This episode sure was enlightening as we discussed, debated and at times, clashed heads about our beliefs on soulmates. Believing in soulmates means you believe in that one person that completes you, that makes your life better and without them, you’d be lost. With that in mind, join us as we tackle this topic.
