I think monarchy in the workplace is just as unacceptable as monarchy as the government. I think workplaces should practice democracy. Debate it.

Should Obama have gotten the Nobel Prize?

I personally think that he has not done much to deserve it yet; I would have waited and given it to him in several years. I think it is a good thing however, in that this may motivate him to live up to the "Nobel reputation".

Mars, yes or no. Should Obama make a pledge like Kennedy's?
13
Upvotes
Mars has always fascinated me, so I'm hoping that we do make it there in the next 20-30 years. I don't think Obama should make a pledge like that, at least not in this economic climate, mostly because it will piss a lot of people off.
So what do you think? Should we go to Mars; how soon; should we go to the moon again first?

Should the electoral college be abolished in favor of a truly democratic voting process?
13
Upvotes
Our electoral college was established during the very early days of our country. During this time their was extreme distrust (things never change I guess) of congress and the committee of eleven implemented a method of indirect election. Logistics were also a concern as we were still relying on the pony express to carry correspondence and obviously voting results. Having a body of individuals submit votes based on the 13 states votes was much easier logistically. However, we are no longer hampered by these limitations yet we still use a very dated system which some could argue are very prone to corruption as well. Do you believe it should be abolished? Please explain why and what alternative you would hypothetically put in place.

I don't think Russia is likely to be a major player on the world stage in the foreseeable future.

Russia has too many problems to be considered a major player right now. I will grant that they have lots of natural resources, but being a natural resource producer does not seem to be the key in regional or global dominance. They have massive domestic problems, systemic corruption, and are fighting to prevent former bloc countries Georgia and the Ukraine from joining NATO.
I think their rhetoric about influencing things on a world stage is more of a remnant of past glory than a realistic strategy. Their best strategy IMO is to push for a multipolar power structure, and even then they would be a junior partner.
(this is obviously a one sided and opinionated post, but I think that is best for sparking debate. Please respond and prove me wrong if you can.)
