Thanks for noticing. I have been cleaning up the spammers. Over the last six weeks I have deleted 8000+ spam accounts as well as over 4000 debates. I am almost to the point where I am able to clean all the new spam each day. I have also asked my developer to add some additional measure to prevent spamming. I have also been deleting duplicate accounts as I find them.

Dear spchtchr, The membership here can be over zealous at times. I have asked them to stay off of debates that are clearly education based debates. I think the best opportunity for you would be to create you own public community. It is free of charge and while anyone can join, most people don't look at the other communities. Here is a link to setup your own. It takes less than one minute. Then you can post your debates safely there. If any of our members join, you (or I) can ban them from your community.

Under education select get started and on the next screen choose the free option.

Then provide your students with the link to your very own community and let them debate!

Let me know if you have any questions via the messaging system.

Best regards,

Andy

I think it depends on the school and current hours, but I do not think school hours should change. If we shortened them children would lose out on education time. If we lengthen them, we short them sports, extra circulars activities and the opportunity to work a job.

We can't control what isn't controllable. We can't stop the problem at the border as it goes much deeper than that. There are too many issues going on in Mexico and Central America. We can't solve those problems, they need to solve the problem. It will take decades to affect change. So we should support efforts to fix it, but we need to be realistic.

There is no way most countries will follow Biden on this. It is too risky and the countries that do follow it will become less attractive than the ones who don't. My opinion is no.

After watching the trial so far, it is clear that he used too much force for too long. I don't think they will be able to Convict on third or second degree murder, but they are setting up and will likely be able to prove the second degree manslaughter charge. From what I read that will give him up to 10 years in prison. I am concerned that he has three charges against him and they all will be considered separately. Therefore, he could be convicted on all three charges!!! I think that is bizarre and is only being done because they want a conviction. All I can say is that this is a tragedy for everyone involved and needs to be quickly dispatched.

If you are against the question you would post your supporting statement and evidence here.

If you support the argument you would post your supporting statement and evidence here.

Well, it is unfortunate that everyone feels that way. I did my best to run the site for 10 years. I gave it my all for the first six or so. Then everyone started complaining about this member or that member. I ran them off, but they came back and id horrific things to the site which I had to spend thousands of dollars to fix/clean/prevent. Running them off caused a vacuum on the side of certain debates. So now what is left? Only those people who have similar mindsets or one or two trolls that I have not been able to get rid of (yet). If you have ideas and want to help I am all ears...they just can cost a ton of cash to implement.

BTW, The site costs about $300 to run each month and I see about $30 in advertising revenue a month.

So should I just shut it down ?
