Now I know you all like to bash Bush and Kerry, Bush more, but at least do it with manners, here is a guideline:

1) You can't insult the man personally
2) You can't not insult the person you are debating with
3) It is recommended you use proper grammer, people take ya more seriously ya know
4) You can insult/criticize the policies of each respective person
5) You can't insult a belief
6) You can question a belief

And of course the most important rule:

THOU SHALT NOT DEFY THE UBER MODS!

Just my opinion on how a good debate should carry, care to add more? ;)

I think this should apply to more than just presidential candidates.

I don't insult Bush personally, it's a simple fact that he is, well, "not very intelligent". Then again, Kerry is a spoilt rich boy too. Meh...can I be an exception as long as I bash both?

Bush may not be intelligent in the realm of politics, but that does not automatically qualify him as stupid. Besides, I think Bush would probably spell "spoilt" [sic] the same way you did.

I don't see how Kerry is spoiled though. Didn't he morgtage homes to pay for his campaign? Isn't he running out of his own pocket? Don't he and Teresa have a pre-nub?

You really don't have to listen to me, it's not like I'm a mod >.>, but I think it'd civilized the debates

Spoilt is an acceptable past and past participle form of spoil. You can use both spoiled and spoilt.

Kerry inherited $600 million. Basically in the US election you have a choice between two upperclass people with their own interests at heart.

Edit- and to refute your point, to quote www.politics1.com

"That now makes Kerry the richest member of Congress with $675 million (note: he repeatedly says he will not spend it on this campaign -- "It's my wife's money, not mine" -- and, legally, he's correct in that he cannot unless it was a "joint asset" before he launched the campaign)"

Unless I'm mistaking they both fall into the spoilt little rich boy category.

True. It could be a ploy. Or maybe its to scare the little countries. What's more intimidating than someone like Bush with their finger on the button? Not much.

Yeah, thats what I mean.

Haha. No.

Seriously, I think your thread is beyond saving. Take heart in the fact that most people only read the first post before replying though.

2) You can't not insult the person you are debating with

Aw, gee, sounds like too much trouble HAVING to insult the person. ;)
Santa Cruz bumper sticker "Some other (expletive) for president!" about sums it up for me.
