Hot Button Topics

So basically, because I find hot button topics interesting, there will inevitably be some hot button topics on the blog.  Not all of them, but some that are either effecting me personally or that are really effecting culture at the time.  

Obviously the first blog post was a hot button topic,  I would appreciate it if everyone would be very careful to keep things conversations civil, and to conversations instead of arguments.  If you are reading something and it makes you angry, take an hour before you reply, think about what you can say in a non argumentative way.  Then post your response respectfully of the other posters who disagree.  I am the first one to fail in this area and thus need to work on it myself, but lets all work on this together and make this place a fun place to come and discuss issues without them breaking into arguments.
