Request to Debators
People be hatin. I have gotten two reports in the last day for the most minor crap. One was for the God Damn America post, mainly the title, because it comes up on the main newsfeed and it was offensive to someone, and the other was the amendment 1 post, basically saying the entire post was vulgar and offensive. All I am…

Leashes for Kids
What do you think of something like this? Cruel and inhumane or Smart parenting?
Food Stamps / EBT cards
I don't know how many times I have been in the line at the grocery store and watch people purchasing t-bone steaks, filet mignon, and other high dollar items then pay with foods stamps or in Florida EBT cards. I work about 50 hours a week and can't afford to purchase those items. I believe that the assistance programs…
Dem. vs. Rep. Views on abortion and logic
I know logic and politics don't mix, but logically the stereotypical stance on abortion by the parties seems backwards to me. Republicans are in support of keeping every fetus alive, but less likely to support the babies with public funds after birth. Democrats seems to goble every fringe group they can in support of…
"Common sense" gun control
"Bad guys don't get guns"? Seriously though, I'm a hunter, and i would imagine my squirrel rifle classifies as one that "common sense" might say is bad (semi-auto and I have a 25 round clip for it, as if anyone could actually buy 25 .22 rounds anymore). How do you target the people or guns you want controlled and not get…
What does "praying" actually do?
Growing up catholic (Atheist now) have always had the terms heard : I'll pray for you, we'll pray for you, pray for a good recovery, etc. Now if god doesn't interfere and destiny is already set, how does praying change anything? No amount of prayer is going to change god's "mind" about and event that's supposed to happen.…
Spina Bifida
Scenario: You or your SO is pregnant and the child has spina bifida. Would you keep it? Me? Yes, I have suffered 11 miscarriages (documented) and would give any child life. What would you do?
The Second Amendment, how far is too far?
So as some of you know I live in Texas, more specifically Tarrant County. Well we, like other states have and do, have groups that are pushing for open carry laws and the right to bring their guns into any place they are allowed. For example, city hall. The Tarrant County chapter of Open Carry Texas has been openly…
Cameras on police officers
Lot of talk about this going on and thought it would be a good debate topic. Should we do it? Should we not? Pros/Cons? I kinda like the idea of cameras there are 3 sides to every story and I think the camera can help with the 3rd side, but at the same time police officers don't have the luxury of hesitating and thinking…
Socially acceptable body shaming
Hello MFP, it has been a while but I am back. I recently had a conversation that got me thinking about body shaming. A group of people were looking at a magazine with a female body builder on the cover. They blatantly stated that she looked disgusting(I thought she was hot). This is not the first time that I had heard this…
Political Correctness
British actor Gary Oldman is bound to get people talking with his controversial new interview with Playboy magazine for their July/August double issue, in which he defends Mel Gibson and Alec Baldwin for their much-publicized racist and homophobic rants. "I think political correctness is crap," Oldman, 56, tells the…
