Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

Restoring Family-Planning Cuts Without Ruffling Feathers

Using taxpayer dollars to finance family-planning services has become politically thorny in Texas, largely because of Republican lawmakers’ assertions that the women’s health clinics providing that care are affiliated with abortion providers. In the fiscal crunch of 2011, the Legislature cut the state’s family-planning budget by two-thirds, with some lawmakers claiming that they were defunding the “abortion industry.” Researchers at the University of Texas at Austin, found that more than 50 family-planning clinics had closed statewide as a result.
I think all derpy republicans should go to Texas, and Texas should secede. It'd be interesting to watch.
