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.

    a critical assesment of the US millitary

    Yes, they were, which is why the United States put all of our troops under French command and were trained by the French. Unfortunately, both the French and British assumed that the Germans hadn't learned anything from WW1. The French also had significantly less resources to work with this...

    a critical assesment of the US millitary

    No, the French stopped the spring offensive. We just provided the bodies. No, our troops just proved incompetent when it came to anything other than beating up native americans. It's a matter of historical record that the medical students refused to leave Grenada to make a political point...

    a critical assesment of the US millitary

    The Spring Offensive took place after the fact...U.S. troops were already there. Need I also remind you that all tactical decisions were made by French officers and all of our troops were under the command of General Foch? WW1 is not an example of American military might but of weakness. It was...

    a critical assesment of the US millitary

    Hogwash. The French forced the Germans to retreat at the Battle of Verdun and the Battle of the Somme and by the time we got involved they had already retreated to the Hindenburg Line. Not true. The U.S. citizens refused to leave because they wanted to make a political point. Grenada offered...

    a critical assesment of the US millitary

    Absolutely not. Our military was not only microscopic in 1914 but also entirely ill-equipped and ill-trained. We had to rely on the British and French to train and supply our troops for the duration of our involvement. The draft increased the size of our army by over 4 million and the...

    Parliament adjourns in blow to Bush

    Well golly gee. Perhaps if the Iraqi parliament would stop bickering over salary and benefit packages, who gets what percentage of oil revenues, and taking 2 month long breaks and instead would address serious issues such as the 30-40% unemployment rate, the great number of Iraqis who are...

    Georgia's top court hears teen-sex appeal

    The age of consent in Georgia is 16. Georgia law requires that the sentence be reduced to a misdemeanor if the offender is under the age of 18 which applies in this case. The girl is considered to be the "victim" because she was below the age of consent. The sentence was, indeed, far too harsh...

    No, they only give those benefits to same-sex couples who are married, in domestic partnerships, or in civil unions.

    Why is Gay marriage Wrong?

    You're lucky I just finished a sociology paper on this very subject so I'll just post the relevant points here. Aggressive Traditionalists (Opposed to all legal recognition of same-sex unions): 1. Would result in the systematic breakdown of the institution of marriage, a decline in fertility...

    Despite the Web, Americans Remain Woefully Ill-Informed

    Re: FOX News viewers among the least informed about current events The values, culture, and future of society are not primarily determined by people who are "workin and sweatin and bleedin". They're determined primarily by men and women who barely drop a single bead of sweat for the majority...

    Reflections On The Ontological Argument of St. Anselm

    No, because there is always something greater than a car. There is no religion assigned to this.

    Reflections On The Ontological Argument of St. Anselm

    For those unfamiliar with this Argument: 1. God is that than which nothing greater can be conceived/imagined. 2. God exists in understanding/the mind 3. Existence in really is greater than existence only in understanding 4. If God did not exist in reality then there would be something greater...
