This is a political forum that is non-biased/non-partisan and treats every person's position on topics equally. This debate forum is not aligned to any political party. In today's politics, many ideas are split between and even within all the political parties. Often we find ourselves agreeing on one platform but some topics break our mold. We are here to discuss them in a civil political debate. If this is your first visit to our political forums, be sure to check out the RULES.

Point of the story: If you are stopped comply otherwise be shot! Here in NYC they are checking bags etc... if you don't like it take a cab.... screw you wacko's for crying out b/c its against your civil rights. The greater good is at stake and you have other options for travel. If you act... -

The London bombers were set up:(
Eskiboy, I suggest you listen to your clip again or try and get the whole broadcast. The priciple consultant interviewed did not say that the events of July 21st were actions of his company. Rather his said that it was ironic b/c his company had been working on scenarios similar to 7/7, which... -

What happened to the good guys: Red Sox Note
LMR - I actually agree, hence the original thread. I don't know why this is happening all of a sudden... $hitty attitude for $hitty fans (not all but most). I too would love a CWS/CHC world series... all these story lines during the year help keep the long season interesting. I had hoped the... -

What happened to the good guys: Red Sox Note
First off.. let me say I am a Yankee fan.. but not a typical in your face fan that you would find in any major city. Has anyone else noticed the good guy, 'one for all -all for one' image slowing washing away from the face of Boston baseball. Rigth away there was a fight over the last game... -

Al Quaida Man of The Year: GEORGE BUSH!
I respect your opinions on both Bush and the War, though I may not agree with them nor would I indulge in the same slander. However, your words are as powerful as mine b/c they represent the freedoms we both share. Simply put, they hate our way of life and will do anything they can to disrupt... -

What to do with child sex offenders?
Unfortunately, a lot of 'air time' has been spent showing the darker side of our local communities. Lately, it seems as though we can't go more than a week with out hearing about these repeat sex offenders. My question: What do we do with them? What do we know: 1)Well we know that child sex... -

Supreme Court Decision on Ten Commandments
Why is there even arguement over this? This is a waste of time. If you have time to protest this (or any decision) you need a job. Who cares.... call me crazy but there are larger problems to take care of right now.... the freaking crazy religious right and 'give it all to the needy' left have... -

Your favorite sports? (and why)
Your forgetting the best sport in all the world... rugby! Although soccer ranks atop all the others in the world rugby by far is the best sport. Combines the stamina of soccer, strength of football and the brains of all of them put together... If that won't convince you go to your local... -

September 11th conspiracy theories
Re: 911 WAS an inside job. Lol... gotta love all this stuff. These Videos and many like them only proove that we are given freedoms very few people have. Although, I don't agree with this premise (or consipracy theory) it goes to show that most anything can get done in America. Try living in... -

Reason for the Iraq war
I think this Petrodollar theory is crap, frankly. If the war is about Oil then why the hell haven't we seen any benefit from it ? We just hit $60/barrel two days ago. In addition... all these opinions are 2 years old... I would like to see what they are saying now? A majority of the oil comes... -

States 5th right for taking your land
Actually a mall might not stand up in court... however, the City is using parcels of the 90 acre plot to develop commercially (next to the new Pfizer plant I believe). They are building parking lots, condos and a community center. Apparently, this was enough to hold up in the Supreme Court. I... -

Eminent Domain
Certainly.... its written in the constitution. The 5th Amendmant allows states to take personal property from citizens in the event that the property will be used for public purposes. In the 'City of New London' case, the 5-4 Supreme Court decision went in favor of the City b/c of their... -

States 5th right for taking your land
It will be interesting to see how the Supreme Court decision on the City of New London case will play out over the next couple of years. Will their 'economic development plan' hold up in this emminent domain cas -

5th Amendment Upheld by Court
I just read the Justices' opinions from their recent affirmation of the State of Ct Supreme Court ruling in the 'New London' case. Quite and interesting precedent we may be setting here. Althought the 'development plan' lays out the strategic use of the land I am still not convinved it is for... -

US DEFENSE BUDGET TO BIG? 2006 Fiscal Year.
Did you know China spends the most on its defense... 3% of its GDP. I agree our numbers are quite staggering but I don't know if I can support your proposed reduction. How about we first try and spend the money 'better' than we can start pulling back and putting the funds into social programs...
