"Purple Politics" by Dan May

All right, so you probably saw this in your update and thought, "Oh, interesting," and then saw it was written by Cinders, and now you expect something sarcastic. But no, I am being very serious. Even as a self-described liberal, I do love conservatives, I want conservatives in this spot to SPEAK UP and I am going to tell you why.
I have very strong opinions, as I am sure many of you are familiar. Some of you agree with the things I say, some of you don't. And I welcome both reactions to the things I have to say, especially if you disagree. As I call myself a liberal, those who tend to disagree with me call themselves conservatives. Whether or not either one of us adheres 100% to the labels we assign ourselves is beside the point. Liberals and conservatives have been two halves of a feuding family for years-- but they are still a family. Which is why I decided to compile this list.
Why I Love Conservatives
1) Dissent. A person might believe that if everyone thought the same way she does, then the world would be a better place. In fact, several people believe this. Some hypothesize that agreement on morals, laws,...

This article is basically about something i keep seeing around the debate spot or on other debate forums and it is, in my opinion the rudest and most insulting thing you can do in debate
no I am not talking about swearing
no I am not talking about denying the existence of someone's believes
no I am not even talking about flashing your opponent to distract them
I am talking about the one line comment
some of you may be slightly confused as to why I get so annoyed by this so let me clear things up
I have no issue with people bringing up a new point that they have just summed up in a short space, I also have no issue with people making a comment on the on going debate itself or with people just asking a question or injecting a piece of new information, all them are perfectly worthy one line comments and contribute to the debate.
what I am complaining about (yes I am not denying this is just a big fat rant) is when someone writes a completly pointless one lined comment in response to a well researched and thought out decent piece of debate, that someone has put effort in to.

Pamela Anderson goes PETA.

Originally submitted for school on December 6, 2006.
PETA – Is It Really Ethical?
Who would think twice about questioning the motive of a nonprofit animal-loving organization with the word “ethical” in its title? The word “ethical” usually refers to someone who is doing the right thing. After all, who wouldn’t want to treat animals ethically?
I sat behind an avid PETA supporter one year in my high school English class. PETA, as I was later informed, was an acronym for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, and was an organization dedicated to saving animals and promoting veganism. Hardly a day went by that this girl wasn’t talking about that oh-so-wonderful organization, or passing out leaflets, catalogues, and stickers. Early on, I didn’t care or know much about this organization, but it got harder and harder to ignore the countless leaflets shoved under my nose. Finally, one day when I ran out of things to do, I decided to look through one of the ever present PETA catalogues. I wasn’t very impressed; it seemed to me that it was a pathetic attempt to make money. The catalogue was filled...
