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.

Book thread.
Damn, I must be the only one who thought that Wicked was an overwrought book that tried far too hard. Good idea, poor execution. I really must be the only one that didn't like the book since the musical of it seems to be quite popular here. My favourite author is probably Kurt Vonnegut. I... -

Nine U.S. warships enter Gulf for training
Wait a minute. Are you suggesting that the U.S. government and the Iranian government are on equal footing? That's kind of what this sounds like. The Iranian government is a repressive regime that brutally keeps their people in line while advancing their apocalyptic views through supplying... -
Being truly prolife will force us all to give our body parts away
What is it with all these absurd arguments? If you support abortion, say so and speak about abortion. If you don't, say so and speak about abortion. But to try to equate the argument to things that have no relevance does nothing regardless of which side you are supporting. -
Chinas Submarine Inventory
I spent six years on a U.S. Navy submarine, so this is something I have a passing acquaintance with. I'm far more concerned with their blatant disregard to their citizen's human rights and repression of free speech than their submarine force. And I guarantee that same repression will prove to be... -
Replacement Anthem
Good Lord, we're upset over a song? I'm a West Ham fan, and I think the Forever Blowing Bubbles song hardly qualifies as a "fight" song, but I'm certainly not about to start bitching that there is a larger plot. Honestly, the American national anthem is kind of a pain in the ***, and nobody... -
How many of our Troops lives will it take before we DEMAND they pull out of Iraq?
You must love those smilies; I think you use them more than anyone else. But smilies and flags do not a point make. Now, I snipped out your accounting tendency with lives lost, but I've left this gem in your quote. I like how you say forget basically everything as if the violence was something... -
Americans Born Out of Wedlock
Those are powerful phrases indeed to cause such calamity! Being married and having kids is hardly a guarantee of raising kids properly either. I'd be happy if responsible people who loved each other and wanted to raise kids were the only ones that did so, but it ain't going to happen. To assume... -
Nine U.S. warships enter Gulf for training
I can't believe you would be so naive as to assume that Iran is not a threat. Therefore, where would you like military training to occur? Antarctica? Yes, this is clearly a muscle flexing exercise as well as preparing the navy for a situation that has more than a passing chance of occurring. I... -
Scissor Sisters
Grr. I hate both the Scissor Sisters and Mika. I love living in London, but I truly find the European musical tastes to be bewildering at best. What ever happened to Rock n' Roll? Or at least music that is somewhat interesting and not designed to be played on whatever MTV affiliate as a... -
How does Ronald Reagan rate in history among presidents?
I do think there is a certain amount of adoration for Reagan that isn't warranted. But such is politics. We would love to think that those who lead a nation are somehow above the foibles of the mere mortals. The left and the right both have their shrines to the near deified. What I find curious... -
Worm attacked voter database in notorious Florida district
The new commercial. -
A Belgian arrested in Israel
I'm not sure if I'm merely a skeptic or merely a cynic here. I think that their stated aim is vague enough to avoid outright indignation, yet uses all the keywords that are popular with militants. Maybe I just doubt them because, for all their earnestness, they're going to do puppet shows for... -
What to Do About Khat.
An oldie but a goodie. And this is hardly an isolated story. Perhaps we should ban tobacco? -
Sublime ~ Doin Time (Summer Time)
I love Sublime, especially in the summer. Their music just seems to fit that time of year. Of course, there songs weren't as pretty as Brad could make them sound. Like in Doin' Time. The tension's getting harder I'd like to hold her head under water.
