Rules of engagement.

My name is Wes I am the creator of this blog. This site is intended to give people a place to express their opinions and beliefs without being insulted and misrepresented. I have posted some rules that I think will give everyone a fair shot at being heard. If the rules are not followed I will not change the post in part I will delete the post in it's entirety..

        1. No profanity or insults of any kind.
        2. No "straw men " No misrepresenting other's views. Because there are perceived flaws in other people's ideas does not make your position valid. Defend your own position and give rational reasons for that position. A diatribe against someone else's view is not helpful to them or to your own position.
         3. Keep your posts brief. No more than can be read without having to scroll too often to read the comment or post. You may finish your thought on another post but no more than two posts in a row without a comment or new post from someone else.
        4. This site is not about individuals but about Ideas and beliefs. We don't need names of people who may or may not share the views you ascribe to them. It is the views and ideas that are important.They need to be clarified and expounded on.

       Helpful Hint :  Be Civil, Kind, and Brief.. Saying certain people or most people or no people agree or disagree with your views is not a defense of your views..If history teaches us anything,  individuals no matter how credentialed or majorities no matter how large are wrong at the very least half of the time.

  Hopefully the majority of the posts will fall into these very interesting and provocative categories ..Politics, Religion , Culture and Science..

        Thank You....Now tell us what you believe and why !
