Okay people!
The rules are as such, and not that hard to understand. Please follow them, or suffer the consequences:

General Rules:
1) Anything goes! I don't mind swearing, but please assume that anything you post will be seen by someone you don't want to see it. Also, excessuve swearing is a good sign of a poor argument. I don't suggest doing it.

2) PM me if you're having problems with people. There are no blocked words on this forum (words are words), but basically assume that you are talking to someone you can't see. Inasmuch, refrain from ethnic slurs or other offensive language.

3) Please try and make sense. Nothing aggravates me more than "PS2 is teh RoXoRz, AgmeCube teh sucks". These will be deleted without warning, and constant writing of this crap is warrenting of possible demotion.

4) Base yourself on truth. This is for the debate forum mainly. Don't use "Over half", or "Americans think". These are unfair assumptions, and you have no power to say what the whole place thinks

Debate Rules:

1) Only National or International news is permitted. No city news, since many don't live there. I'll accept state/province news, provided you have a source line.

sources (ideas):
[URL]www.cbc.ca[/URL]
[URL]www.cnn.com [/URL]

I do not accept Fox news as a source.

2) Debates are to be written as something you would hand in for an essay or project. They are to be at the very least 1/4 of a Word page at 12 font. Don't deliberately make something overly long, just write what you need

3) Please don't write something without basing it on something. That means that things like "Bush rules!" will be deleted unless you provide an argument.

4) The debate forum is used for serious debates ONLY!! This means things like "Is Ashley hot?" will be immediately removed and the person responsible will lose posting privledges there for about 2 days.
