Formed by two mighty tribes, the bores and the bored.

If Hitler Said Sorry Before He Shot Himself will he have gone to heaven.
Anything can, but it would be helpful if those participating had some basic grasp of the facts. I'm constantly bemused by people like Dawkins whose militant atheism betrays an astonishing lack of knowledge about the subject he's attacking. He should stick to the domain he knows stuff about as his science books are very good (or were, I suspect now he'd find himself unable to stop himself attacking theism no matter what he's writing about).
As for whether men can debate abortion, of course they can but as it's obviously a subject which affects women far more directly than men. Personally I don't feel I could tell a women they could never make that choice as it's not a position I could ever be in.
An interesting twist on an old favorite.
No debate is permitted on the holocaust. It's also close to the point where discussion of the global warming scam will be illegal. Most people self-censor because they are pitiful. Others censor by shouting their gob off non-stop. For me, everything should be open to debate - especially, particularly if it makes people feel uncomfortable or angry or causes offence.

Oh the ironingMost people self-censor because they are pitiful. Others censor by shouting their gob off non-stop.
Shouting you gob off is not always the same thing as shouting your gob of to stop others speaking. In fact it's hardly ever that. So you saved yourself on the ironing.
Oh the ironing
As for the global warming scam - the fact so many have been convinced by such obviously bogus science and in spite of the evidence all around them will be make the top ten list of "What was it like in the modern dark ages" when kids absorb their history implants in 2114. Takes about a century for these forms of idiocy to wind out.

Go on then, I'll indulge you.
What evidence?
