Here's a topic I would guess most of you would be disinterested in. Prove me wrong or something. I'm very interested in debating/arguing/discussing as you could say politics are my passion. Anyone have a good topic they'd like to discuss?

I would like to discuss politics but I can't think of a topic.

It is true that ben and I are similar in political views, but I'd prefer if you'd ask me about them rather than judge me for them. Not saying you are judging, but many people do.
Let me start the discussion off with the Iraq war, seeing as how its 90% of voters main reason for going to the polls this year. Anyone have any strong opinions about it they'd like to share? Let me just say that I for one am opposed to it and I can clarify more if people are interested.

I would have to do more research to take a side and have reason to do so.
However I am interested to see what the Libertarian view on it is. I suppose its because its costing money??

mainly because of that, but also because they broke the constitutional standard of declaring war to send out troops. Which to me makes it an unjust war, even though it has happened in several other of our previous "wars". I have other reasons too, but those are the main ones at least.

Hehe. you should've seen me last night. I was so curious. Ben and I were watching the news together(wonderful bonding moment), and I was curious about politics, I was like, "What the Libertarian view on war?" "What the Libertarian view on gay marriage?" "What the Libertarian view on illegal immigration?" "What the Libertarian view on carrots?" It was wonderful, I feel so Libertarious. ;D

So you've adopted the views? or are you just joking about the Libertarious part? not that it's a bad thing.
As for me I don't think I can place myself in one category. I do what I think is right at the present time. Usually this is a bad idea but I can't really do anything else.

I don't know. Most of them I suppose. The only thing I'm not sure about is abortion. I think they're proabortion right? I'm not sure if I can say thats ok. Otherwise, I think Libertarianism is cool.

we are not pro abortion, nor do we take a stance on it on the federal level, because we believe it should be a states issue, not a federal issue. There are some people on both sides of the issue in our party.

As for abortion I can't accept it as a states issue.
#1 People could simply hop a few borders to get an abortion.
#2 Murder is not a states issue.

This might be getting off subject, but I would have to say that its nice to see people actually discussing something serious. I would get on the forum and post more if it weren't for the fact that no one seems to actually discuss truly important things. As it is, getting on the forum seems like a waste of my time.

NO! If they think that it is a waste of their time to get on here then I don't think that they should get on here at all. Its not like this is our first serious subject!!! This forum was created for the fun and enjoyment of the youth at Christ Wesleyan!! I WILL NOT COOL MY JETS!! If that person finds it a waste of time then I think that they shouldn't even get on here at all!! It isn’t like this is our only serious subject. Its not like they ever posted a serious subject! They could but do they? NO!! Then they criticize our desire to have fun and enjoy ourselves on this forum! There are other serious subjects like Swearing, Anything and Miracles past and present. Anything is designed for the needs of others who might need help with something need to ask a question or even prayer! Swearing deals with the subject of swearing. Miracles past and present deals with the spiritual world and others opinions on miracles and lots more if they cant find them then I think that they shouldn’t get on here then I think that they shouldn’t get on here at all!!!
