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. Registering for debate politics is necessary before posting. Register today to participate - it's free!

Is it insane that the FEC chair needs to inform politicians (read the president) about the law?
This kind of scenario doesn't surprise me in the least. I feel like the only member of a team that has bothered to read the laws and regulations that we as a team have to follow. Half the time people with no knowledge of actual regulations drive policies that collapse under any scrutiny due to... -

OSC Says White House Should Fire Kellyanne Conway for Violating the Hatch Act
The Hatch act Hatch Act of 1939 - Wikipedia (Fully reviewable through the OSC.gov also if I recall) Has a lot of caveats and other provisions. It has been modified a lot over the years. I haven't been able to read the OSC's official findings, but they're normally pretty detailed and neutral...- TTB

2018-2019 NHL Hockey Thread
The Game felt a lot closer than the score. So many shots on goal by the Bruins with no payoff. The Blues were getting outshot almost 3 to 1 at one point...and had a 2 goal lead. I'm glad it was a decisive game 7. It even helped my buddy from New Hampshire handle the loss a lot better than a...- TTB

2018-2019 NHL Hockey Thread
I'm also glad we didn't wait for the NBA arrangement. I'm find this sport far more engaging anyway. I'm less bothered by officiating affecting a game in a series than I am in the NFL, but I still don't like to see stuff like that so directly associated with the outcome of a game. Don't get...- TTB

2018-2019 NHL Hockey Thread
As Northwesterly type person, I was fairly disappointed with last night's game. The Blues scoring a goal right after what looked like a "How to Hook" tutorial video on you-tube soured the game. If it hadn't been the deciding goal, it wouldn't have bothered me I suppose. This has been a...- TTB

Trumpkin Victimology
I will happily join you on this crusade to destroy our starchy oppressors from the potato kingdom! I will hunt and destroy these Fries! No salty double fried batch of enemies will survive engagement. I just hope our condiment arsenal is stocked and up for the battles to come. -TTB -

"Group's plans to hold 'straight pride' parade in Boston." Do you support a permit or not?
Re: "Group's plans to hold 'straight pride' parade in Boston." Do you support a permit or not? Denying the permit would be an actionable item legally. The city granting the permit is just logical from a legal standpoint based on most anti-discrimination laws. Everything the organizers have... -

Solutions to climate change
There are a lot of pro and con situations with MSR and Thorium Reactors this is true. It's one of the reasons I like the thought of standardization of designs and other controls. For instance, even though thorium traditionally is fueled by uranium 233, irradiated thorium produces uranium-232... -

Solutions to climate change
I wish I did. Maybe I should send a topic suggestion into Tim Poole to run a Subverse article for his news and information program. He covers science stuff like that. Other than that, I just normally dialog with folks so I can address concerns with nuclear power while covering the topic. -

Solutions to climate change
I selected Nuclear as an answer because varied Molten Salt Reactor designs are being designed to burn thorium or potentially consume other radioactive wastes to produce energy. I would prefer to reduce carbon output through nuclear plant standardization and proliferation. This can expand our... -

Which TV networks show blatant political partisanship?
I'm just surprised that some people didn't click on all of the things. (Except C-SPAN... it's the cure for insomnia it seems so unbiased.) -

Do 80% of women pursue just 20% of the men in the USA?
If I recall correctly, it said that men rate women's attractiveness on a 1-10 scale pretty evenly and accurately overall, but that most men tend to focus on women that are more attractive than they are when it comes to messaging. I can't get to the study at work as my computer access is fairly...- TTB

Do 80% of women pursue just 20% of the men in the USA?
I think the OP is referring to a study done by OK Cupid, with results paralleled by Tinder. The study showed that women found 80% of men 'below average' as far as looks were concerned. The interpretations of that data have been moved beyond the original context, I think, in many circles. Not...- TTB

Should competitive athletes be placed on teams by their gender identity or their biological sex?
I voted biological sex, but I wanted to elaborate. I think that the top tier of any competition should be unlimited (This does not mean unregulated, substances abuse is not OK.) If someone is capable of competing and setting records against the best in the world, let them. If, due to... -

Obsolete Man Skills You Should Ditch
4. Fixing Things at Home - Instead, Learn How to Decorate - This one is my favorite. When I read that, I was thinking... Oh no! A hole in the wall, I should hang a painting over it! Oh no, there is mold creeping along the trim due to water intrusion... that would go with avocado colored...- TTB
