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. Registering for debate politics is necessary before posting. Register today to participate - it's free!

Your opinion on Coke's version of America The Beautiful? [W:1014]
I agree. Stupid decision, but people are free to make the choice. I don't mind the ad. This is all really free advertising for Coke. -
Your opinion on Coke's version of America The Beautiful? [W:1014]
The Chinese guy isn't the waiter. I particularly like American Chinese food; if you watch them cooking your food you will see that everyone who works for the restaurant cooks the food. Unless you were being very specific to PF Chang's or something like that, then maybe you have a point. but they... -
Your opinion on Coke's version of America The Beautiful? [W:1014]
A Nigerian cab driver who doesn't know English wont be able to function in any major city. Therefore he may go to the wrong place and put somebody at risk. A Chinese guy who only understands "numbers" wont know what health codes are and places everyone at the restaurant at risk. I am not... -
Should the minimum wage be raised?[W:30]
Re: Should the minimum wage be raised? I would guess that the first fast food service robots to be in place within the next couple of years, not 30 to 50. Applebee's already has a pilot to replace servers with Ipads this year. but i do agree that some jobs will be harder to mechanize than... -
Should the minimum wage be raised?[W:30]
Re: Should the minimum wage be raised? Actually the lower service jobs will disappear eventually as robots are miniaturized. The vending machine for pizza show us that there are no repetitive task jobs which can't be completed by a robot. And we may have a different idea of education. I don't... -
Do you favor Congressional term limits?
I am okay with repealing the 28th. I just think it should be fair all around. We should be able to keep a president if we want. But since we can't, I don't think we should be able to keep congressmen or SCOTUS judges either. The 28th should be repealed or expanded but I don't think it should be... -
Should the minimum wage be raised?[W:30]
Re: Should the minimum wage be raised? I am slightly okay with matching the minimum wage we have now to adjust to inflation. Though even this seems unfair as no other employee gets this benefit; why should the minimum wage people get tied to inflation instead of everyone. I am completely... -

Supreme Court as the Ultimate Arbiter?
While I respect your opinion, the 18th is the prime example that the constitution is written and is defined by the people. We the people determine our constitution and no one else. -
Supreme Court as the Ultimate Arbiter?
I am surprised a the responses here. Neither Congress, not the President, nor SCOTUS is the ultimate arbiter of what is constitutional. The People of the United States are the final say. We always are. -
Only property owners should vote
Everyone pays sales tax. And everyone pays into SSN taxes so I am not sure who doesn't pay taxes to the state and federal level. I think you would only be disenfranchising homeless people which doesn't seem worth it to me. Please if only people who are engaged in the issues can vote, I doubt you... -
Should a Man have an Absolute Right to Choose to Abort His Baby?
Sorry, you are wrong. Some states have set limits but the federal allowance of pregnancy if for complete and outright abortion at any time before delivery. -
