Who's up for a Debate (civil, please)?
2004-06-01, 1:26 PM #1
I must be out of my mind. I just am in a desperate mood to talk about some heavily discussed, pressing issue in our society. Abortion, guns, homosexuals, mass media, religion, rights of the people, court cases, Iraq, U.N., the U.S. elections, other Liberal/Conservative issues, environmentalism, pollution, racism, or maybe even NASA and the space program, or anything else in general.

No flaming/swearing, try and keep an open mind, consider and respect others opinions (you don't necessarily have to agree, considerate being the key word), and discuss the subject matter in as concise and polite a way as possible. Let's have one for the Massassi track record - a clean debate! [http://forums.massassi.net/html/smile.gif]

[Note: This may seem pointless, no I am not suicidal, it's just that I admire several people on Massassi who have keen and open minds, and I would love to have a civil and enjoyable discussion/debate with anone interested. Thankyou!]

Care to prompt us on something, or should we just blurt something out?

If someone chooses a topic then i'll join in. It seems kinda weird to have a general debate thread without a topic. How do you expect us to go off topic? :P

Excellent. I haven't had a lively debate about cheese in a good while.
I bet you think that's funny, don't you.

I believe that the age of pie consent is too low in this country. I think that I am mature enough to have pie if I want it, and those damned christian fundementalists can not take that away from me!!

(Im just having a little fun until the real topic starts)

Depends on what the * is. Mormons are scarier than Shih fundamentalists with a nuclear briefcase, but still not as scary as flame engulfed demons bent on the destruction of mankind and all we stand for.

Somehow I knew this would happen! [http://forums.massassi.net/html/biggrin.gif]

But honestly, let's start it off with something moderately innocent and light-weight like, say the NASA space program, and work our way up from there.

So, someone post their opinion concerning NASA and how they operate the U.S. Space program...

NASA is a corrupt institution controlled by aliens so that we never learn the truth and spend the entire existence of humans blind to other forms of life and better ways of life. It's a fascist conspiracy.

Ahh, how about I start it off.

Do you think NASA should be spending billions on the Space PRogram, when it could be used to help starving children across the country?

But we don't know it's empty.

We're spending billions of dollars to find out it's empty.

Heck yeah! (notice I didn't swear [http://forums.massassi.net/html/wink.gif] )
//-------- ['Nother Debate Topic] ----------//
Speaking of swearing, I think the whole 'swearing = punishment' thing is crap. Why in the fark must just a few words have bad and unacceptable attachments and words that mean the exact same thing and are used the exact sae way have an entirely acceptable meaning? Why can't the ppl who ultimately decide which words are "bad" and "good" just lay down a single, set list of words that are "wrong" and those that are "ok"? I'm getting in trouble for picking up saying "farking" instead of f###ing because "it sounds like the real word". Pu-leez! Shoot sounds like the real word, and so does dang -- how come I don't get in trouble for saying those? That's it! If they don't see my view, I'm going to make "the" a bad word.[/unaggressive and polite tone]
