Why is race so fucking important to your debates? Who cares what wars your grandfather has fought in, or how many times your country has been invaded? This is why racism is such a huge problem today -- because people refuse to even TRY going past that kind of thinking. These posts are clogged with racial, national and religious insults and it's disgusting... they are almost as hideous as the spelling and grammatical conventions that seem to be adhered to here. What is important, or more acurrately, what should be important to your debates are the ideas that each person has, and the thoughtful and logical argument of these ideas, not childish name-calling.
