Although it would be nice to involve politics in debates on occasion, it would also be nice to keep major Politics elsewhere me thinks.

The idea of a debate here is attractive to me because I am not an academic who grew up with a standardised learning curve and often struggle with focusing on studying a subject beyond an initial encounter. I am a creative thinker who rarely sticks to a plan but sees one as a guideline for things as they unfold around me and always open to evolution.
That said, debating something would be a great way for me to keep coming back to a subject with a commitment to stay focused and see it through until the end while at the same time learning and expanding the old grey stuff. A good opportunity for research too.
Regarding the subject matter, I do like the concept of "Parents should be 'certified' prior to parenting". I have thought for many years that procreation as a human entitlement can be the root of so many negative things and for many people, not just the creators. It also affects the whole world over time in a way that is hard to measure in much but unconnected statistics after the fact. A philosophical approach would be useful to provoke the thoughts of others and extend the timescale for considerations.
I enjoyed the first debate here and it was cool coming back to read each response as it unfolded. Nothing too extreme but plenty of food for thought and very civilised.
Perhaps pencil me in for a debate at a later date so I can observe others and build up some confidance. My ADHD is my enemy but also my adversary.
Thanks Maxmars for sorting the thread so we can respond and discuss.
