• 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.

    Belgium- Muslim Political Party Seeks Islamic State- What Should be Done if Voters Agree?

    There are actually heaps of things to worry about in Europe in general and Belgium specifically. To name just a few: The rise of old school nationalism and fascism. The exponentially increasing poverty due to neo-liberal pseudo-austerity policies. The decline in quality of education à la USA...

    Trump trade war: EU ready to PUNISH 200 brands as US threatened with tech tax

    Hmm, let's check: Cheapest Corvette, a Stingray, starts at €82720 while the cheapest 911 is €101253. You were saying? Oh, and the Mustang is €39000 while the M3 is €81000 (!).

    [R.I.P.] Stephen Hawking, modern cosmology's brightest star, dies aged 76 [W40]

    I don't disagree with the essential point you make, but placing him outside of the top 100 is taking it too far. His early work, specifically in general relativity and black holes would earn him a place inside the top 50 I think. But yeah, the perception of science and scientists in pop culture...

    Left Wingers: What is the worst ideology?

    Other: Nazism. It's the only that has genocide not only as an inherent aspect, but even as an explicit goal, an Endlösung. It defines it.

    Multiple victims hospitalized after shooting in Las Vegas [W:34;W:62:319]****

    Re: Multiple victims hospitalized after shooting in Las Vegas [W:34;W:62] Speaking as another European, your argument completely ignores the fact that there is an enormous global black market for guns. If you really want them and you can't buy them legally, you buy them illegally, simple as...

    EU 'not capable' of signing deal says Canadian minister

    Democracy is expressed through politics and not through corporations. If one puts a corporate structure above any and all democratic institutions including institutions such as the ECHR or the ECJ then that is the de facto abolition of the democratic system. If the ICS gets introduced any...

    UK EU referendum [W:40:728]

    What's also to be expected is a brain drain away from the UK. Academics will have huge incentives to relocate now that the UK will no longer be part of any EU-organized and EU-funded scientific and academic projects and cooperations. Heck, even Oxbridge will probably suffer from this.

    UK EU referendum [W:40:728]

    Re: UK EU referendum [W:40] Dream on. On its own, especially in a reduced form after the now inevitable secession of Scotland, England/Wales has no leverage to make demands on the EU table. Futhermore, the protagonists of the City will start moving to Frankfurt, leaving even less weight for the...

    UK EU referendum [W:40:728]

    Re: UK EU referendum [W:40] Why? Scotland will secede, there'll be new Troubles in Northern Ireland, the City will move to Frankfurt, the NHS will collapse,... None of those immediately of course but that's the logical outcome eventually.

    UK pilot of driverless cars

    What a naive belief in technology.... What operating system is your driverless car going to run on? Windows? :mrgreen: Just think about how many times your computer has crashed, frozen, refused to boot, rebooted spontaneously, etc. One could claim it would run an embedded OS but all who have...

    EU voting -> good tools to see where you stand and where your poltiics stand

    Well, they don't. As you can see in this study (pages 19-21), trust in the European Union was at 34% in 2011, trust in the national parliament at 27% and trust in the national government as low as 24%.
