Debate Both Sides

Have something to say? Want to debate politics, social issues? Well, here's your chance. All you need is an opinion and a keyboard. So join the Debate Both Sides users and guests in a lively, ongoing, and non-obscenity laced debate of the issues.

Discussion items of global concern from the scientific community.

Threads and discussions that wander or are "off topic" live here. (This used to be the Spammers' Hall of Shame).

So, you think that we can make this place different -- better than other forums? How? Tell us your ideas, thoughts and/or suggestions. Let's start a dialog about what makes this place tick. How can we balance the strong different view points while respecting each other for those differences? The key is respect here, so don't bother suggesting that we need to get rid of all the liberals, conservatives, etc... (Again, while we welcome all opinions, please understand that we may not be able to accommodate all requests.)

Do you think someone is acting inappropriate on the forum? Have they done something that should be reviewed by a moderator? If so, please report it here so that we can keep the focus away from the spammers and on the issues.
