Resolved: I-am-a-panda is a Panda
Panda defined - "Giant panda [Most common reference] - A black and white bear-like animal, Ailuropoda melanoleuca from the mountains of China."

A police car [in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland]. (All 1)" I-am-a-panda is definitely not a member of either the species Ailuropoda melanoleuca or Ailurus fulgens, and is definitely...

It is a form of direct democracy." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Initiative "A democracy is nothing more than mob rule, where fifty-one percent of the people may take away the rights of the other forty-nine." - Thomas Jefferson California's Proposition 8 results: Ye...
The Constitutional Basis of Roe v. Wade
Listen, I am pro choice. I am not against abortion, I'm just for state's rights. However, I have done some research, and I have determined that the ruling of Supreme Court on Roe v. Wade has NO constitutional basis. The Supreme Court ruled in Roe's favor because of the Fourteenth Amendment's Section I (specifically the Due Process Clause), which is shown below: "Section I: All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United...
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 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...

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...
"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?...
