• 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.

    replacing coal power plants with nuclear power plants

    The network is actually all interconnected. There are separate power companies, but they are all interconnected, and they sell power to each other. There is a lot of protection built into the network, such that if a line gets overloaded and starts sagging too much, explosives are set off to...

    Creepy or romantic?

    The world is a sadder place because of these unfortunate stories. This makes the world more systematic, more bureaucratic, and we lose the human touch. This goes directly counter to all the wonderful heartwarming stories.

    Assisted suicide for prisoners?

    Our dislike of suicide comes from our evolved fear of death, that we feel death is the worst, and that life, even in pain, is better than death, simply because in the past, we could reproduce as long as we are alive.

    Lol, I actually do have a degree in ECE. There has been a tendency in this thread to think of buildings as independent of others, but the smart grid works by grouping buildings together. Also, I'm curious, what was wrong in my post?

    Hu warns Chinese culture being 'Westernised'

    Listening to rap music and watching Hollywood movies made the Chinese dissatisfied with their conditions. There is nothing wrong with Westernization, if Chinese culture has equal or even more exposure. Let the Chinese choose their own destinies, and in such, their own culture.

    SCOTUS determines Constitutionality?
