Michael Nebab I agree particularly with Salem and Chris Miller. Instead of attempting to play with the look of the site, focus on what you initially set out to focus on (or claimed to focus on) -- hosting quality content. As for encouraging civil dialogue a...

In Business, Gender Quotas Aren't the Way to Go

Gender quotas hurt business by discouraging merit-based performance and undermining company performance in the process.

Thirteen years after Matthew Shepard's death, does the "It Gets Better" campaign to combat bullying provide the right message to children struggling with their sexual identities?

Michael Nebab I must second Tom's warning, Salem. Please, for your sake (and for many of us -- you've punched out so much great content for your fellow users in your first couple days), stop talking about your drug use so unabashedly and so publicly.

Why the Death Penalty Isn't the Problem

In the wake of Troy Davis' execution, criticisms of the death penalty have been unconvincing, but do raise questions about the imperfections in the criminal justice system.

The continued use of the death penalty in 34 states is reflective of an inhumane criminal justice system racked by hypocrisy and contradiction.

Michael Nebab A little less than half of the voters in this country back in '08 thought that Sarah Palin was qualified to be the Vice President. Yes -- anything is possible, and it's a very terrifying thing to think about.

Proposition 8 supporters say that Northern California District Judge Vaughn Walker's decision to strike down the ban was improperly influenced by his personal life as a gay man.
