Starter Should loyalty to an employer ever outweigh a better job offer?

Loyalty matters when an employer has made concrete reciprocal commitments.

Starter Should friends tell someone that they dislike their partner even when no abuse is involved? Honesty can protect a friend or become an attempt to co…

Say what you have observed once, without making the friendship conditional. Repeating a verdict can drive the friend away rather than help them think.

Starter Should national pride be taught alongside serious criticism of the nation? Belonging should survive an honest account of failures.

Yes. Pride grounded in an honest history is more resilient than pride that collapses whenever someone mentions a failure.

Starter Should families be allowed to create a chatbot of a deceased relative without prior consent? Grief does not automatically grant the right to simula…

Prior consent should be the default. Family members may disagree, and the deceased person cannot correct the replica's invented responses.

Starter Should private space companies pay for rescuing their stranded crews? Public rescue should not silently become part of a private business plan.

Rescue people first and settle costs later. Otherwise a billing dispute could become an excuse to delay a life-saving response.

Starter Do wealthy people have a duty to give away most of their surplus wealth? Calling something legally yours does not settle what you owe others.

A duty to contribute does not answer who decides the amount. Strong public institutions may distribute resources more fairly than individual donor preferences.

Starter Should every official vote be accompanied by a public written explanation? Voting along party lines should not excuse someone from explaining their…

An explanation helps only if journalists and voters can challenge it. Otherwise every vote gets the same paragraph written by a party communications team.
