The final debate between Allen and Webb was on TV. Allen as always spun and spun and got nowhere, he even tried making it up with minorities by invoking African American supporters and Latinos!

Among other things, the candidates debated on affirmation action, big oil, profiteering, economics, education, energy and dependency on Middle Eastern oil, environment, health care, infrastructure, nuclear and sustainable technology, immigration, Iraq, Afghanistan, Mark Foley, our media, and of course race! Allen had a well-scripted rhetoric, probably borrowed from Bush’s camp. …

Adrian MacNair lists the top 10Â ”Worst Internet Topics to Debate” in his blog the Unoriginal Gangster.com, here is my take on the very topics, in that very order.
10) Religion: As an agnostic, I doubt your argument on religion, it is not that we know god does not exist, we just doubt it, just like everything else.
9) Feminism: Women, I can argue, I just can’t win.
Abortion: Suit yourself, if abortion is killing, so is electrocuting serial rapists, get over it.
7) Same Sex Marriage: I don’t understand why they want to, but if they do, so be it, but don’t adopt kids for f***s sake.
6) Immigration: Often confused with illegal immigration. I am a proud, legal immigrant, and I think I deserve it more than anyone else (who were here when I got here). Don’t like it, too bad, move to Canada. Â
5) Iraq, only a Republican would not want to talk about Iraq, after all, why should they, they f***** it up for the rest to fix. What are they doing there now, still looking for WMDs?
4) Terrorism/911. Yeah, still hot in 2006, will be for a while, some baby boomers wish the communists were still around, at least we do not have to learn new words like ‘Jihad’ and ‘Haditha’.
3) Middle East & Israel, I do not have anything to say, except that “they can all kiss my a**”
Â
2) On “Racism”: Adrian says, “Especially when it’s pretty clear the white race is the most superior. “Superior” in what is the question? There are more white gays than other races, which makes them “superior suckers,” right?
1) Nazis. You’ll need more that just a great leader to lead the Aryan race, I suggest y’all get an albino monkey, I heard they are ruthless vegetarians and like hiding in bunkers.
Nothing personal Adrian, just thought it makes for a good post.

Or Affirmative Action as we all know is just what it is. Morally I support it, after all, it was intended to “promote a group/class that have traditionally been discriminated against�. But ethically, in a Secular state like India, such programs make for a “disastrous brew�.
There are two fundamental issues that stem from such provisions, allow me to explain:
Issue A - Say group #1 benefits from affirmative action because group #2 discriminated against group #1’s ancestors. Does that mean, group #1 benefits just as much from their ancestors suffering (or being discriminated) as group #2 did. if so, does two wrongs make one right? If not, why does group #1 not subjected to the same provisions (or lack of) as group #2.
