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.

Where in the constitution do peolpe get Freedom of speech as a right?
Narph's Original Post is inherently incompatible with Constitutional law. He seems to believe that a right does not exist unless some Government somewhere approves it; the Framers of the Constitution held the opposite view: every right exists, unless some Government denies it. That is the... -

Will Gay Bashing Help GOP in November?
I am referring the ridiculous argument that gay marriage will lead to incestual marriage or bestiality becoming legal or pedophilia becoming normal or whatever other thing they use in their "slippery slope" argument. That argument in essence equates homosexuality with predatory or other... -
Solution to Draft Shortage?
Compulsory volunteer work for The Machine™ is not acceptable in a free society, even if you're only weaving shoelaces. -
Will Gay Bashing Help GOP in November?
Government shouldn't have to recognize anyone's marriage. But since they do, it's not right that they simply refuse to recognize one type of marriage because a significant portion of the population can't keep to their own business. It is not government worrying about it to permit its practice... -

WHY would allowing gay people to marry have anything to do with these perversions anyway? Gay marriage will not lead to incestual marriage or polygamy any more than straight marriage has led to it. You are assuming that homosexuality is a perversion, or automaticaly immoral -- which is an... -
the Sanctity of marriage
Of course, the very term "sanctity" carries religious connotations and definitions along with it. Implying that gay marriage somehow violates the 'sanctity' of marriage is only a polite way of saying that it offends God. And they only say it politely because that way you have a better chance... -
Is there a line?
By that logic, drunk driving shouldn't be illegal, since it is based on a "potential" damage to property or people. Obscene monopolies shouldn't be illegal, based on a "potential" detriment to the economy and the consumer. If we follow your logic, absolutely nothing would be illegal until real... -
Socialism
Of course, absolute beaurocratic socialism is not an Enlightenment ideal. Let me say that before 1,000 people start "calling me" on it. The Enlightenment was about society escaping the grasp of cruel dictators and the philosophy that the right to govern was given by God. It gave birth to the... -
Socialism
A person picking fruit could make $10 an hour if there weren't a few people making $10,000 an hour. Our goal in economics should not always be to let the chips fall where they may. If that is the case, then the only reason to have civilization is to allow the wealthy and powerful become even... -
Socialism
Obviously. I don't want welfare to be a free ride, either. You should have to work or produce some verifiably valuable service in order to afford those things. The amount of work you do should be repayed with an appropriate compensation. Welfare is there to keep people from starving or... -
Socialism
It would seem that socialism is all for your need to provide for your family. And your wife's too, if you allow that sort of progressive behavior under your roof. The redistribution of wealth would ultimately be enforced from the very top down --you know, the wealthiest 1% of Americans. It's... -
Solution to Draft Shortage?
Hi. I found this on thomas.congress.gov :) LINKY It probably won't pass, but WHO VOTED for the guy responsible for this drivel? If you support this, I'll just be a shameless liberal here, shame on you. -
Will Gay Bashing Help GOP in November?
If same-sex marriage is bad because it will expand Social Security, then any significant jump in the marriage rate should also be seen as bad. But most conservatives will say that the marriage rate is not nearly high enough, and that the divorce rate is way too high. You can't have it both...
