Open Chat... All Day, Every Day! Express Your Views, Debate, and Challenge the Views of Others!

In order to keep up with the nature of free, spirited debate, I wanted to place the chat feature at the top of the homepage. This ensures people can come here and share their views on anything they wish and not have it be related to any specific discussion. Here, people can share ideas, links, and views "unmoderated" and an their own pace. To me, this makes The Elephant in the Room blog truly a place for debate.

  1. This Trayvon Martin $HIT is getting out of control. The public opinion court keeps protesting and chanting for justice, but it seems their only form of justice is if Zimmerman gets arrested. What if GZ IS telling the truth 100%? What if he was attacked and defended himself? Sure, you can make the argument "well, TM only had skittles" but that's irrelevant. GZ shouldn't be put through any kind of punishment or harm at all. No degree is okay. He should protect himself. The point is, the court of public opinion needs to simmer down and let the justice system do its job. Just because this was a black kid doesn't make it any different. The media is blowing this out of proportion to make "gun-yielding GOP types look bad."

    Say, where was the media during these cases: http://sistertoldjah.com/archives/2007/05/14/christian-newsom-murders-media/

    Oh, I guess blacks killing whites isn't good enough for a protest?
