In home school we can’t have civics debate and discussion class like a regular school, so we have to participate in the site the tutor picks. The democrats site is not allowed because they use cuss words.

Your tutor picked a good site. And yes, they do use a lot of profanity at the other place, and we try to avoid it here for the most part.

But there is no rule that states everyone’s opinion is equally valuable and sacrosanct. Everyone on this site has their opinions put under the microscope.

Everyone. And you have to be prepared to back it up. An un-validated opinion, especially one that ignores the facts is going to be taken apart and ridiculed.

It is my opinion that Franklin Delano Roosevelt was one of the most destructive Presidents ever to hold office. That is my opinion. But I am prepared, if challenged, to back it up with facts. You should do the same.

If you say that Zimmerman had strings pulled, you have to say why you believe that, since it has bearing on the overall validity of your opinion.

Failure to do so will invalidate your opinion, and your reputation as a Freeper.

Sounds like you have a good tutor. There is hope for you yet.
