I am trying to think of emotive but balanced and current topics to line up for debating. things like: "The upcoming ban on smoking in pubs is good for the country." "Ireland would benefit if Eircom went out of business." etc... I'm also trying to think of good debating threads or threads that created more light then heat…

Subliminal Messages and the use of in Irish Media and on the Internet.

We are bombarded with these hidden messages every day of the week. Some are used for good effects, like the Driving Ads on tv that try to stop drink driving and to slow down etc.

But they are also used to intice you to do things you may not want to. Encourage you to buy utilities/food/clothes etc.

In my signature I have even used them. Puting the different smilies next to the different ISP.
