Jarus: Ok, let's settle for that.

I'm just thinking that it's too early, four weeks to debate, and we may have better topic before the one-week-to-debate deadline.

State Police: Are we ready for it?

Deep Sight:
Hallo Jarus, I'd like to indicate my interest in the monthly political debate. I am particularly interested in the SNC topic. . . . . .

Sisi_Kill: Raising hand for State Police (Not supporting it or not supporting it, saying I support it as a good debate topic )

OAM4J: Yeah, "State Police" will be a good topic.

Kilode?!:




@Jarus, BTW, I thought you said two debates: Saturday/Sunday, or did I read that wrong? What happened to the SNC debate last week? No takers?

cheddarking: Jarus

I definitely want to argue AGAINST state police if chance dey

Negro_Ntns: Jarus and OAM4J,

I believe in one of your posts in this thread you guys inferred that this debate project is aimed at coordinating ideas and insights with government proposals and policies. I am yet to see anyone align their ideas to the human pain and suffering of the common man; inspite plenty of theories have been shared and argued already.

We are quick as citizens to complain and lament that our elected officials are not responsive and are insensitive to our pain. Well we are demonstrating now that we lack the skill as well that it would take to be good administrators and social planners when our turn comes to sit in their positions.

I wonder why you are plucking topics from the air...state police will be next topic;.....and how will this discussion attach to and address pragmatic issues for society?

Anyway, here's a suggestion.....I propose that we use the order of business in our national assembly as topic for dialogue and debates in NL. What they discuss and pass into law impact us directly in society. Discussing it here will bring knowledge sharing and opportunity for research and as well attunement to national issues...it enriches awareness and promotes civic knowledge and empowerement.

Take a look and if you agree then make it available for us on this platform. If you do not agree with me then please review and tighten the expectations on current project delivery so as to extend the benefits of an idea or theory beyond the cerebral point......assuming that social upliftment is still a commitment for the initiative.

Obinoscopy: How about the second debate topic? I'm thinking of 'State Creation' - for or against?
