Honest debates? We have a rigged system here in the USA on presidential debates- the private corporation that runs those final televised debates in the fall excludes anyone they don't want who is outside the main two parties. In 2000 the Green party candidate Ralph nader was excluded from the debates, because his following was too small to make a difference. Then when Al Gore lost the election to Bush, they said, that Ralph Nader's votes were the reason Al Gore lost to Bush- so HE DID make a difference after all. Duh?

Original opinions, fine--ad hominim attacks and simply cutting and pasting rubbish from mainstream sources, not. If I want cut and paste, I can turn on the news on TV or pick up the USA Today papers and read it there. And the attacks on people, I believe it already violates guidelines because it usually involves either spamming, insulting someone for their beliefs, or hate speech (or inciting hatred based on political beliefs).
My belief: If more people don't quit quoting things right off the mainstream media (here, and everywhere else), and start coming up with their own original beliefs, those who are trying to enslave the world are going to in fact succeed. And this is as true whether the birth certificate is real or not, whether Mitt Romnet comes from Massachusetts or not, and all those other distraction issues.

- You can discuss politics as long as you are discussing things.
- If you just post copy-and-paste propaganda it will be deleted.
Yay! I've been waiting for this for a long time.

That's so unfair. What would Duderino have to talk about?

I support these rules.
Polictical discussion should be an important part of this forum. We are no longer witnesses we now live in the world....the real world. However some are still witnesses in mind and spirit. Your opinions do matter and your vote counts.

Duderino and a few others were not here to debate they were here to make a mockery of debate.

If it's the inane "Obama can't prove he was born" or "Romney is an alien" crap then it will be deleted.
What about articles or youtube vids that prove 9/11 was an inside job? Please tell me those are still allowed.

and start coming up with their own original beliefs
Hahaha, do you realize how many people have lived their entire life without having had ONE original idea? --Epiphanies don't come easy for most people.
I see no problem with posting a couple paragraphs- see Simon's TOS #4
