Here is a list of hot political debates. Just tell us what you think of it.

Abortion - Pro-life  
Death Penalty - Against it, again “Pro-life”  
Taxes - High rates for the rich; low rates for the middle and lower classes.  
War in Iraq - I’m still debating with myself, right now I am unofficially against it.  
School Vouchers - So strongly against it it’s not funny.

Please, please, add your own.

My opinion is that you need to e-mail a Moderator and ask them to relocate this thread to the **IMHO** Forum where it belongs. (That is the place for the statement of opinions; this is the place for actual discussion of the merits of any _one_ position at a time.)

I’m anti-life. Bleah. Life. It smells bad, all of it. And it consists primarily of oozing glop. Even the most enjoyable activities I can engage in involve leaving a big messy wet spot on the sheets. And almost all life on Earth is bacteria, too – you won’t see me rooting for bacteria any time soon. Feh.

Sinful – Great Debates is the place for just that – **Debates**. Not just “state your opinion here.”

If you want to start a thread on any of those topics (because the IPU knows we’ve never had a thread on any of them), please feel free to do so. But I’m closing this one.
