Anyone interested?
Apr. 21st, 2008 04:19 pmI am interested in debating topics of interest on a weekly basis. People may post, invite their friends to post and suggest topics to be discussed as you please. You do not have to be on my friendslist to debate, though I will be happy to add you.
The rules-
1) All posters must be civilized. Obscenity and insult should not take the place of wit.
2) Anonymous posters are not permitted, nor are sockpuppets and trolls.
3) "God wills it" is not a defensible argument. If you are explaining a belief, that is one thing. Trying to shut down debate with this is not permitted.
4) Invoking either Godwin's or Snacky's Laws is only acceptable in discussions of WWII or high school.
First topic- Rehabilitation vs Retribution.
Should prisons focus on rehabilitation or retribution? Should we encourage job training and skill building, or concentrate on punishing offenders?
