Well, yesterday I discussed a liberal website called Outside Asylum, and my experience with it. For me, the best websites for political discussion are neither conservative or liberal, but unbiased. There's nothing more boring then talking to like minded people, but a website that can have a dialog between opposing minds without resorting to name calling. I found a huge website that everybody should know about, it covers everything from your hometown and state, science, religion and politics. As long as you follow their rules, you can have a good entertaining discussion. I use a different monikar there, but it's a good place to go. http://www.city-data.com/forum/#u-s-forums
You posted about an Audio website yesterday, where you got banned for political posting & they were too liberal to accept your viewpoint. Today you’re suggesting another website besides FR to discuss politics. These kinds of suggestions get the PTBs upset because FR is the premium place to post politics on the web.
I tried your approach over at America’s Debate. I posted as Kevmo
http://www.americasdebate.com/
It didn’t work. They have an overwhelming number of jerk liberals posting there, and as far as I can tell all of the moderators are liberal.
Perhaps you should consider Argue With Everyone, yes, it really does exist:

I still debate at Intrade. It is the least biased platform because their focus is on making money from contracts rather than ideology.

However, their ownership has exhibited genuine bias in the past, at one point even criticizing a poster who spoke ill of Obama. At least he was open about his bias — he died last year climbing Mount Everest. In addition, Intrade is going through a major upheaval by pulling out of the US market due to regulation.
So, what you’re seeking does not exist. You might consider starting your own version of America’s Debate.
They leap and they tear and can mack your ass in half-a-minute.
I stay out of those counties now.
I understand that you are a n00bie but don’t you realize that this post is about as asinine as a post can get?
Why don’t you try to open a lemon aide stand in a restaurant? Or take a cooler into an NFL stadium and sell beer to the fans?
I don’t know about your saying the website for debate I’m seeking does not exist. This website seems to be a pretty good place.
Doesn't square and wash with what you said in your article:
" For me, the best websites for political discussion are neither conservative or liberal, but unbiased. There's nothing more boring then talking to like minded people, but a website that can have a dialog between opposing minds without resorting to name calling."
And then you continue:
"I found a huge website that everybody should know about, it covers everything from your hometown and state, science, religion and politics. As long as you follow their rules, you can have a good entertaining discussion. I use a different monikar there, but it's a good place to go. http://www.city-data.com/forum/#u-s-forums"
So, not only are you saying unbiased is great, but hey you found a huge website everyone should know about for unbiased discussion!
Same here.
Trying to forward traffic from here to somewhere else is frowned upon in these parts.
Those counties coincide with our coffee deer experiments?
Sudden drive by moosing.
Interesting.
Are you saying that there is so much internal debate that it could occupy you and not get “bored”?
Or are you saying that you don’t really need to seek an unbiased moderation website?
Or something else? What are you saying? Now that you’ve seen some of the response to what you’ve said, are you backtracking a little? Just be up front and real, no need to be cagey.
First of all, there isn’t another site out there that compares to Free Republic. This is a safe haven amid the liberal lunacy that surrounds us, a place where conservative principles and love of God and country are revered and exalted. Talking to liberals? I’ve waded over into the DU sewer. Aside from being godless and delusional, it’s not enjoyable or interesting. Freepers are generally well informed on a wide range of subjects, and are also hilarious. I learned alot about issues, government, and history by lurking here for a decade before signing on nine months ago. Just watch, listen, and learn. This place is full of amazing people who share our conservative values.
Yeah, push another site here on FR? Nice job. Take a hike nOOb.
This sounds like a place to go to “reach out to those across the aisle.” Well guess what-we don’t want to reach out to those who seek to tax us to death, seize our property, and take away our personal liberty. We want to expose and defeat them!
Hey, chump, you found what YOU are looking for - GO! Are you such a WUSS that you want others to hold your hand?
Hmmm... I always have a problem with the word ‘troll’. I was chastized by another website for ‘trolling’. I guess I don’t know what a troll is. I always thought it was an unsavory, unwashed, and longhaired curmudgeon that lived under a bridge. Here I am, an old retired curmudgeon rocking in my rocking chair living in a house trying to stir up a political debate as a source of entertainment, and I’m being called a ‘troll’. So,what exactly is a ‘troll’?
It’s that same old crappy discussion software that does nothing in terms of facilitating discussion. You’ve got to admit it. Others have. Free Republic discussion software is unmatchable. Nothing is even close.
