Forum Introduction and Rules
luke.fallon Mon Apr 18, 2011 10:12 am
Hey all!
After some long emails discussing some of life's moral questions, Vinnie and I have decided to create a place where people can openly and intelligently discuss/debate issues that we are facing today. No topic will be off limits, be it religion, abortion, politics or the human moral code.
The forum will work as follows.
1. People wanting to join the discussion must first register. You can do that by clicking the register button at the top of the page. Do invite friends, families, republicans, liberals, conservatives, atheist, religious and socialist. The more diverse the members the better the discussions!
2. Once registered please introduce yourself in the 'Who am I' section. Please include such information as Name, Location of Residence, Age (Approx age for those who do not want to reveal there name) and Job. I would be great to attach a photo of yourself to actually see who we are talking to!
3. In order to get discussion going people will need to suggest topics, this can be done by posting in the Ideas/Suggestions thread. Please keep your ideas/suggestions very focused don't just say religion....discuss or is abortion bad. We are more looking for things like "would the world be better of without religion" or "i believe that nature plays a bigger role then nurture because...."
4. Every 2 weeks Myself and Vin will choose a new question debate/discuss
5. Rules - This is a place for intelligent/open debate so please stay on topic and speak your mind without fear of judgment. If you truly believe in something judgment should not stand in your way of speaking you mind! Obviously profanities, racist comments are to be kept out of else post will be deleted. I know in some subjects there are fine lines between opinion and intolerance/discrimination so speak rationally and honestly and we wont have a problem.
6. Try not take offense of other peoples opinions, they are allowed to belive in what they belive all we can do is present a case to why i believe in XYZ. This can be best summed up by a Kenneth A. Wells quote i like "A good listener tries to understand what the other person is saying. In the end he may disagree sharply, but because he disagrees, he wants to know exactly what it is he is disagreeing with.”
7. Like life, have fun with the topics we don't always have to be serious!
