http://www.cnn.com/2009/CRIME/06/09/unabomber.evidence/index.html Resolved: The U.S. Government ought not to sell the Unabomber's possessions without permission from the Unabomber. I just saw this on CNN and was wondering if anyone would like a friendly debate on the subject. Be forewarned, this debate isn't about semantics or legal precedent. I'm looking for a debate on morals - basically: should the government be able to sell a criminal's possessions without permission? If either side...

Calling people insane because they study 9/11 Truth is very ignorant. Why is it so hard to believe the U.S. government planned 9/11? Why is it outrageous and disgusting to believe that government could be hiding something from the public?...

Does the "occupy" protest movement have a clear and common message

Occupy protests lack common/coherent message "Occupy protests need to focus on coherent demands." Student Life Staff Editorial. October 17th, 2011: "The protests have been linked and compared to the tea party movement, due to their similar grassroots nature and extreme ideological stances. However, the tea party does have a centralized message, which the "Occupy" protests lack. The tea party is about reducing taxes and cutting spending to make government smaller. Regardless of whether or not you...

Observations: The use of forced child labor in third world countries basically forces children to work in adult environments. If a limb is cut off then the child is fired without...

The media isn't liberal

BeatTheDevil89
ILoveCheese

Media will be all forms of print (newspapers, magazines, etc), TV news, radio, and the internet. You all should know the definitions of liberal and conservative. Anyway along with the opening: I would argue that the media isn't liberal. In this I contend that their is a wide range of philosophies of reporters and news stations but the media IS NOT overhelmingly liberal. Conservatives have just said "the liberal media" so many times without any evidence that it has become a fact. A...
