Since I enjoy a healthy debate and want to include everyone, I thought I'd open up the writers spots here on the site.
If you wish to become a writer, whether it's a one time only shot or on a regular basis, that's ok, but I have a few guidelines. Please note, the only one I really care about is the libel one. All the others are merely guidelines and can be ignored if you wish. If you are interested, email me on the link to the left titled "Writers Wanted!"
You can write about any topic that you wish.
You can be any political ideology that you want and can write from that point of view. In other words, if you're a liberal and want to write about how piss poor George W. Bush is, that's ok. I'm all for open debate and that includes opposing viewpoints.
I will correct spelling mistakes, however, your article will be posted as is.
You cannot libel someone else (obviously). You can write about things that are true, or things you have backed up with evidence. But you can't come out and say random things like "Hillary Clinton once molested 20 children on a school bus" without backing a statement like that up.
I don't care if you write something "controversial", however please be adult about it. If you write something and believe those words, don't offer an "apology" when the heat gets to be too much. You can if you'd like, but it's my own personal belief that if you say something and mean it, don't apologize for it.
Try not to give away too much about you personally. You can if you'd like, that's up to you, but I just want you to be comfortable about what you write and what people know about you.
Yes, you can swear as much or as little as you'd like. I don't believe in censorship and I certainly don't want you to feel like you're being censored. However, if someone is "offended", you can bet that you'll probably hear about it in the comments section. :)
Your article will likely be seen by thousands of people, so you can bet that if you say something that's wrong or misleading, you'll be corrected by someone out there. Lord knows I've had my fair share. :)
If you are interested, feel free to contact me and/or send me your article. I will then post it on the front page.
