Weekly Debate Thread

I don't understand a lot of the fancy wording that's used these days by the media and by government (i'm sure they don't understand it either), but I do understand the fight for women's rights.

Spoiler

NO MAN should ever be allowed to vote on women's bodies. EVER.

I could go on, but I don't think that's where the thread was intended to go. So i'll just end with this:

But this isn't about men especially since there are plenty of women who dictate how women should live and what they can do with their body. texasrighttolife organisation is primarily filled with females, so it's not just men and it never has been. Also, this isn't about abortion because Seriously Thoughs question was:

Should filibuster threats that aren't followed through be penalised (as they often scare the other party and shut down a bill) ?

To which I respond with, no. Standing for for more than 3 hours to make a point is one, but for 13 hours!? But then again it depends on the topic as well. Because:

Or do certain situations warrant blocking democracy in favour of avoiding a ridiculous bill being passed ?

If there was filibuster on why we should segregate blacks from whites and that lasted 15 hours, that's ridiculous. Ah hard to say. There's always rules and then you find exceptions to it.
