I must say that other threads have been much more pleasant to read the last couple days. And I don't mean that because it's an echo chamber (it isn't) - I mean it because the debate is once again substantive. It's been quite some time since you could read a thread without wading through a bunch of logical fallacies, spam and personal nonsense totally unrelated to the topic.

Exactly. I don't come here seeking to determine whether abortion is right or wrong, or whether the government should be spending more or less money. I know that already. I come here to debate how to change the status quo and poke holes in liberal arguments.
