This week Scottye and Greg tackled some big topics that ranged from Bigfoot to the Welfare State. No topic is off limits here at Opinions & Attitudes, and as always we try to handle controversial topics with respect and the usual flair the guys always bring to the table.

Scottye started off this week by discussing the confirmation of the Higgs Boson. The so called “God Particle” that holds the universe together. It turns out the Higgs Boson isn’t a stable as originally thought.

Greg shot back with the most controversial topic in the shows history; does Bigfoot exist? He cited numerous sources of evidence and tried to sway ever skeptical Scottye to believe. Do the guys think Bigfoot is real?

The final free flow topic was Pope Francis I. Scottye felt it was important to discuss the leader of the Catholic Church in a little detail and brings some disheartening information about the new pontiff.

This weeks main topic was the perpetuation of the welfare state. Greg started off by saying that people would starve without social welfare. Scottye took the more philosophical approach to the topic asking if it was morally acceptable to take from one group of people and give to another. It was a long back and forth with the guys handling this complex issue as only they could. Tune in and listen!
