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.

Do you think the United Nations is doing a good job?
Could you be more specific? -

Soooo True!
This assumes that there will be a legitimate government in Iraq after all is said and done, which is a big if. There is a good chance that, like all the other countries with elections in the middle east i.e. lebanon, palestine, egypt, Iraqis will just elect terrorist groups to their government... -

Justified?
According to your logic, we should invade North Korea, Iran, and any other country in which there is a remote threat of attack just so we can prevent another 9-11. As for toying with the lives of innocent Americans, I find it ironic that you feel that Bush is protecting Americans by sending... -

Justified?
There hasn't been one of these in a while, so I'll start another one: was the Iraq War justified? I personally don't think so; I don't buy the whole "we are liberating the Iraqi people" argument. Sure, Saddam Hussein was a brutal dictator, but no more brutal than Darfur, North Korea, etc. We... -

Drilling in ANWR not a good idea
Jallman, I don't understand how this comment contributes to the debate; its only purpose is to make others angry. I don't know what you consider a "real debate", but I consider it to be one where people are making intelligent, productive comments, rather than accusing their opponents of being... -

Drilling in ANWR not a good idea
It is clear from the article I started this thread with that conservation would be so much more effective than drilling; so, I guess my point is, why doesnt the government put more emphasis on conservation rather than drilling. There is a huge debate over how environmentally friendly anwr... -

Drilling in ANWR not a good idea
The opposition isn't just hippies who want to hug all the trees... drilling in anwr would disrupt the lifestyle of lots of native tribes according to this article. People always use the argument that all the Alaskans are for drilling because it would create jobs; they don't consider these... -

There is no Human Cause Global Warming.
These websites that you included in your posts are very biased and not very reliable in my opinion; did it ever occur to you that articles written by conservative fanatics who get money from the businesses who have to comply with pollution and global warming regulations may be the ones with the... -

Drilling in ANWR not a good idea
The government could give car companies tax breaks if their average mileage is above a certain amount, tax everyone below that level to hell, slap a tax on gasoline in order to promote less gas usage, stop subsidizing corporations whose cars do not meet a certain mileage level, etc, as incentive... -

Supposed left-wing bias
I've read that thread; just because Democrats may have more donations from large corporations doesn't mean that accusing Republicans of being the rich party isn't a big selling point. One of the main Democratic points is that Republicans only care about the rich. If the media was really so... -

Anti-zionist/anti-semitc?
My mistake, you're right about this. However, I still don't think it was such a great idea to give this land surrounding by Arabs due to a biblical claim to the land. In hindsight, it seems this was a bad idea because it created the Palestine-Israel conflict that still persists today. The... -

Anti-zionist/anti-semitc?
No, I'm certainly not suggesting that they pack up and leave, that would be just as bad as kicking the Arabs out. However, that small tract of land may be the single biggest threat to world peace; it infuriates Muslim theocracies, leading them to declare that it should be "wiped from the face... -

Supposed left-wing bias
I'm not really sure how this pertains to my question, explain Its definitely not a conspiracy theory book, it explains this rise in corporate intervention not because of rich evil geniuses in Washington planning the demise of the poor man, but rather explains how changes in society may lead to...
