• 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.

Moderator's Warning:
In order to post someone else's material (copyrighted material in particular) there are a two (2) guidelines that must be followed.
#1 All material posted from copyrighted material MUST contain a link to the original work. All means all and must means must. All such material must contain a link to the original source.

easyt65, your piece did NOT have a link to the original source. All material posted from copyrighted material MUST contain a link to the original work.

And in ADDITON to this

#2 Please do not post entire articles. I'm not sure how to clarify this.
easyt65, you posted the entire article. Please do not do this.
What you should have done:
Proper format is to paraphrase the contents of an article and/or post relevant excerpts and then link to the rest.

Additionally, a recent addition to the Forum Rules:
Starting a Thread: When starting a thread it is best to express your own thoughts in your own words. Threads w/o original content may be summarily closed.

It's fitting, fine, well, and good that the initial, thread-starting post (called the thread's Original Post- OP for short) quotes another person or document. References, particularly in matters of fact, are encouraged. But they are no substitute for your own thoughts in your own words.

Using your own words in your OP encourages participation. By starting the conversation with a contribution of your own time and effort, you show potential participants you are serious in your intention to engage in dialogue. It says that if they reply to your posts, you are likely to respond to theirs.
So, wrap it up, feel free to restart the thread. But, if you do so, please do the following:
1) include a link to the original work;
2) post only about a tenth or so of the original work;
3) paraphrase what you can't get across with the directly quoted excerpts;
4) Include some of your own thoughts in the OP (original post that starts the thread).​

These guidelines, as well as others can be found here Forum Rules

Thanks, your humble mod,
SWM
