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.

I can't find any decent colleges in smaller cities
This one has probably already been mentioned by now, but University of Utah is in Salt Lake City, which it's self only has about 200,000 people. The surrounding towns bring that total up somewhat, but it remains a fairly small town environment. -

Tibet: anti-Chinese rule protests spread to other areas
It was actually Lord Amherst durring the French and Indian War who did it. Amherst was the commander of the Brittish forces durring the F&I War. But, of course the F&I War was 1756 to 1763...so the US never used smallpox contaiminated blankets as far as I know, it was the Brits. -

Domestic Drilling & Energy Security
I can see domestic oil drilling as part of the solution to make us less dependant on other countries, but that sort of misses two points. The first is that we live in a global market, where things are constantly moved between all the countries of the world. If we're not dependant on other... -

I want one of these!

Dartmouth Professor Wants To Sue . . .
Hrrm. On one hand if the students went too far I can see what the Prof. is saying. I mean, it's possible that she was harassed by her students and in that case Dartmouth had a duty to handle the harassment appropriately. It's also possible the Prof. is full of ****. Who knows? -

Federal Reserve

Federal Reserve
To answer the second part of your question, No, the Fed system is set up so that it isn't under any of our notoriously corrupt politicians. The Reserve has it's own income, and thus doesn't depend on congress to fund it, and while the President chooses the Chairmen of the Fed Board of Goveners... -

What is wrong w/ Nuclear Power?
