  • Has anything ever actually become of the Politics & Gov. Section?

    All I see are people ranting on both sides of the aisle, presenting bullshit speeches rather than questions. Nobody ever actually sits down to have a drawn out debate, and nothing ever comes of the rhetorical banter asked here.

    Y'know, it kinda looks like a model Congress.

  • If Ron Paul would were to run in 2016, would you vote for him?

    I don't want a Left vs. Right flame war here. I would just like to see who would vote for him and possibly why.

  • When are people going to stop playing the game?

    We are so at war between parties because the whole of our government has turned it into this. Going through this section, filled half with trolls, I find that very little people take the time to explore the whole both sides of an argument intelligently. We sit on one side with the strict intention of proving something after we've decided to argue it. Will people ever explore all the information of a subject before they type something. Will we ever start arguing with the government, rather than ourselves, like the creators of this system intended. To me, it seems as if they want us to argue against eachother; it lets the reigns down on them.

  • How can I ask this question in Mandarin Chinese?

    I'm trying to ask this girl to our prom in Chinese. The problem is, I don't know anything about the language. So, I was hoping one of you friendly people would translate this (I just need to know how say/pronounce it, not how to write it):

    "Would you go to prom with me?"

  • Why do so many people care about politics and parties?

    Lets face it, politics is now just a shitstorm of slandering between parties, with all the real work being done behind doors. BOTH parties are ridiculous, and if you don't think that you really aren't paying attention. Should we as a nation work to rid parties? I know they are important but there are a lot of consequences. Also, why do people care so much about religious affiliation? Can't you see that it is damaging to collide politics with religion?

  • What's making my computer crash?

    I have a lenovo and lately it has been crashing pretty often. I've shared this computer with my brother for about 3-4 years. It has about half of it's 430 GB hard drive filled, and we use it mostly for video games. It seems to have started crashing about a month ago, and is starting to crash more often. It only seems to do so when we are restarting the computer up, or immediately after we get on it. I'm not very educated with computers and I was hoping that anyone might have any suggestions as to what might be the cause of this problem. If you have any questions about the computer, just post and I'll answer them. thank you, and please help if you can.

  • Would a #1 ranked Edu. System solve most of our problems?

    Basically all of domestic problems sprout from the central idea of a lack of information and critical thinking. If the U.S. had an etremely good education system, would most or many of it's domestic conflicts vanish?

  • Anyone up for funding/building a rocket that will take a few of us to a new world/society?

    Obviously, there's nothing left to be saved here. Might as well get out before things start to get to their worst. You can come as long as your not stupid, biased, or inconsiderate of others. I will also need money for a super computer that will decide what is moral and will determine justice. Sure it might not be perfect, but its a heck of a lot better than what we have now. You may only bring your family and friends. I was thinking about somewhere near 50 light years from here. It'll be a long ride, but at least we won't have to see the bright fire that will be from this one. Anyone up for it? Its ok if you don't want to, but I'm telling you, your gonna miss out.

  • Has politics turned into more of a gang war than actualy representation of belief?

    It seems like people are just picking right or left because of the environment they grow up in, and have, mostly, no clue about its beliefs and leaders'. Do people still actually think about political science, or has politics just turned into a stupid, worthless, and messy "gang war?"

  • Do most colleges factor in the quality of a highschool upon application?

    How much do they factor in the difference of an athletically and academically exemplary school known around the nation as compared to an average public school or a low-grade inner city school? What about really good colleges, such as say, Stanford? (Just in general terms, but specifics are good too)

  • Any politicians that openly oppose our Socialistic Edu. system?

    The big question is: Are there any major politicians who openly declare their opposition to America's Socialistic form of public education? I recently discovered the sad truth about our public schoool- its socialistic set up and beuracracy. Its a bussiness and job maker not a learning structure. Its why China dominates our kids at everything educational. In this China is being more republican and less communistic than we are. Please tell me there is someone who may have any impact on changing this. Thanks.

  • Help/suggestions for arguement about schedule against parent...?

    I'm a Sophomore in high school, and it is exams week. I have a debate tournament occupying Friday, so I have to make up the 2 exams I'm missing next Friday after-school or Saturday morning at 8. I want to get them both out of the way that Friday afternoon, but my mom wants me to wake up early and take 1 of them on saturday morning. I already told my mom that I want to take them both on the Friday so I can get them out of the way and so I also don't need to wake up at 7, but she is not taking my side. Is there any thing I can say to persuade her to let me take both of them on Friday?
