South Ossetia Has Every (Philosophical) Right to Secede from Georgia.
The South Ossetian people are no longer satisfied with being governed by Georgia and have decided to secede (with Russian help). In my opinion, they (South Ossetia and Abkhazia) have every (philosophical) right to secede....
The United States is a Democracy.
The United States is not a democracy, as clearly stated in Article IV, Section IV of the Constitution. Also, the words "democratic," "democracy," or any variations are not mentioned in the Constitution....
The class struggle is as important now as it ever was.
The most privileged in today's society have never had it so good yet, at the same time, ordinary working people face an ever-increasing struggle just to pay for the essentials in life. As fuel prices soar greedy oil barons and their grasping corporate backers are reaping the rewards of record profits. At the same time, many ordinary motorists are forced to cut back on all but the most essential journeys. Similarly, wealthy farmers are benefiting from the sky-high cost of food, which is the...
The New US Dollar Coin: A Disgrace to Our Principles?
I am recycling a debate I had just did, I know, so please do not complain about that. Yes, the new dollar coin is a disgrace to the very principles that this country was founded on. The reason for this is because it is missing one word, which will be revealed after I say the (legible) words on the new dollar coin: Obverse: "GEORGE WASHINGTON [Portrait of George Washington;] 1st PRESIDENT 1789-1797" Reverse: "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA [Portrait of the Statue of Liberty;] $1" Rim: "2007 D[e...

E PLURIBUS UNUM. IN GOD WE TRUST." What word that is the core principle...
We Should Have Continued to Use Our Colonial Scrip System Instead of the Bank of England Model.
Colonial Scrip was a monetary system invented by Benjamin Franklin, because the Colonies had, simply put, no money. So he created money backed by real estate (I don't know exactly how, but I wish I did.) that inflated at 3% per year to keep the price of goods almost the same as time goes on. This monetary system was so successful, that the average American farmer was wealthier than the average British aristocrat. The Bank of England got upset that they couldn't cash in on this success, so the Br...
We Should Drive on the Left Instead of the Right.
I think the United States should have never used the Lancaster Turnpike's rule of the road (Spurring most of the world to do the same), as it is much safer. Since most people are right-handed, if they drove on the left-hand side of the road, it would be easier for them to navigate traffic and give (appropriate) hand signals. Driving on the right side of the road used to have a practical purpose (People using Conestoga wagons and had to use their right hand to whip their horses, but didn't want t...
Are You in Favor of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA)?
If you like your pets, you shouldn't like PETA. Also, they are against livestock and domestication of animals by human beings of any kind....
"Crap" is a Curse-Word.
Crap is not a curse-word, just a substitute for one. Unfortunately, many people think it is. Is this 100 characters yet?...
Fox News is Bad
Fox News is not bad, nor is it evil. For this, I would like to here concrete evidence why you think that they're evil....
