Does anyone remember a fairly recent commercial where a mother (a white mother) takes her daughter to a playground, and just after arriving, a friend of the daughter's (a black girl) shouts from nearby to come over and play with some friends (some black friends)? The mother quickly holds her back suggesting she play 'over there,' pointing to a group of white children. The daughter just looks at her mother and asks "why?" The mother has no answer. End of commercial. That question of "why?" has always been on my mind, too. I've never understood racism. There is no basis for its existence. It's as if, long ago, someone of authority and respect decided he or she (probably a he) didn't like a dark skinned person or persons for some stupid reason, and his followers thought he was right, so they decided to be prejudiced, too. Then they taught their offspring that idea and so on and so on. Sadly, racism is very much alive and well even now in 2010. There may not be separate bathrooms and drinking fountains, but the racist thoughts still exist in many minds throughout the world. However, there are also many who have come to realize just how ridiculous, immature and ignorant prejudice actually is. Those are the only types of people I will associate with so I guess that makes me prejudice against the prejudiced. I can live with that. What's your opinion?

At what point in your nation would you draw the line and start/join a revolution?

I know major oil spills don't happen everyday but why do we continue to risk the devastation from them? When will we as a nation move on to better/cleaner forms of energy? I realize the changes would be difficult, costly and lengthy but it would be so good for our country. Imagine if we didn't have to depend so much on foreign countries for our energy needs and our environment was never again polluted by these accidents or the exhausts of our millions of cars. I hope that because of this recent oil disaster in the Gulf of Mexico, not a single additional oil rig is ever constructed out there. What's your opinion?

First let me start by saying that i am against all forms of violence except in the case of criminals with weapons in their hands or a home invasion.  That being said.... 

In the news today a black girl walked up to a white girl and said hey pretty little girl and threw a cup of Acid in her face. The black girl ran away and it is not yet determined who she was.  Anyway the white girl was taken to the hospital , her face was disfigured. The television crew interviewed the lady and she said that she had no enemies and she did not want to look over her shoulder for the rest of her life. she...she said she just wanted to know...why.

I watched this on television today and a tear rolled down my face. I could feel the pain the white girls voice and the anguish in her little heart.  And i thought "is this the kind of America that the future holds?"  

Then I thought her Question....why? I'm sure blacks ask the same question. Why are so many drugs  being placed in our neighborhoods? Why are our schools so run down that some of them don't even have enough books? If my dad can't find a job why is the littlest infraction taking away his freedom and making it even harder for my dad to get a job? How come the utilities are so high that my mom and dad can't even turn on the air conditioning? I...I can't hardly sleep at night it's so hot and i'm so tired in school that i can't really focus in class. I am so freakin hungry everyday my little stomach hurts. I stole a candy bar the other day but i got caught.now i have a juvenile record....whats that? Why is life so rough? my friend got caught selling dope the other day, his dads in jail too he couldnt find a job either. Why are their so many police hanging out in my neighborhood waiting for somebody to do something wrong? my clothes stink, moms welfare check was barely enough to pay bills i have to wash my clothes in the bath tub. Hey..how come all the white girls fathers have jobs? Their dads barely finished high school so how come their dad can get a job but mine can't? How come they always have lunch money and their clothes don't stink. And they have air conditioning in their home and i saw their dad smoking a joint the other day and one day he was using a water bong but he never goes to jail......why                    

                                                                    Q       

I don't know if Jesus Christ ever used his name in vain but his father more than likely did.  I mean, I can imagine his father saying stuff like, "Jesus Christ!  Sit down."  and "Jesus Christ!  Stop making all that noise."

President Obama is claiming firmly and finally the ending of U.S. combat missions in Iraq.
Okay, sounds good but what does that mean for Iraq? Since there is still no established government or strong enough army/police force, violence is on the increase and I'm sure plans are afoot by a variety of factions hoping to take power when the opportunity arises. America still has tens of thousands of military personnel in the country taking their chances as they try to continue to establish order in this "wild west" location. All I can say is "good luck". I believe the invasion of Iraq had nothing at all to do with protecting "our freedom" so my deepest sympathies go out to all the soldiers who were killed, maimed or emotionally disturbed by their experience and to all the innocent civilian Iraqis who suffered or died and will continue to, as our goals to change the ways of this primitive, often barbaric country are never realized. And don't even get me started on all the money spent that we could have used right here in America. What is your opinion?

OK, imagine yourself as a teenager (this isn't hard if you are a teen ;) now.... instead of waiting outside the dely hoping that someone will agree to buy you beer, or instead of running in, grabbing a six pak and running out, wouldn't it be easier to just turn water into wine?  And I'm sure that his parents would have condone him abusing his power on special occasions.  For example, if they had some friends coming over and they run out of wine, they'd be like, "Yo, son..., you mind?"  Hell, they may have asked Jesus to perform infront of their guess, "Oh yeah, well our son can turn water into wine.  Hey Jesus, come here for a minute and do that neat trick of yours." 

You might be a liberal if:

    * You think big government will save us from big business
    * You think it’s wrong to draw conclusions about groups of people (like Muslims) based on the actions of a few, but think all opponents of the Ground Zero Mosques are bigots … based on the actions of a few
    * You think murderers have the right to live, but unborn babies don’t
    * You think drugs should be legal, but fast food shouldn’t
    * You are a fervent supporter of the first amendment, but think Glenn Beck and Bill O’Reilly should be forced off the air.
    * You think racism is wrong, but draw meaningful conclusions about a social or political movement based on the fact a majority of its proponents are white.
    * You think it’s wrong to legislate morality and prove it by consistently legislating morality.
    * You think conservatives are Nazis, bigots, homophobes, “tea baggers” and nutjobs, but stand firmly against hate speech.
    * You believe in freedom of religion (there’s that pesky first amendment again) but hate Christians and find the word “God” offensive.
    * You have a “coexist” bumper sticker, but think all conservatives should die.
    * You think Che Guevara liked black people.
    * You think the government should stay out of your bedroom, but want it to interfere everyplace else.
    * You believe in a free Internet, completely controlled by the FCC.
    * You refer to the nation’s most successful news network as “Faux News,” while getting your information from Media Matters and Huffington Post.
    * You think Andrew Breitbart should go to jail, but Mumia should be freed.

    * You think there’s anything courageous about restraint.

    * You are a strong supporter of feminism as the idea that women are strong, independent and powerful, but Sarah Palin should STFU.
    * You think all “minorities” should be treated equally, but ridicule any member of such a group who doesn’t think or vote according to the progressive agenda.
    * You think a handful of anti-Muslim incidents proves all conservatives are evil, whereas thousands upon thousands of suicide bombings and terrorist attacks by radical Muslims says nothing about Islam.
    * You support gay rights, but are convinced all gay conservatives are self-loathing and should be silenced.
    * You report this post as spam or abusive because you don’t like it.

matthew 5:17-18

This in short tells us that all laws are correct, indefinately correct. Therefore the laws in the Old Testament are correct.

 Deuteronomy 21:21
'All the men of the town must then stone him to death. You must banish this evil from among you.'

I think about the Questions a child will eventually ask at a certain age like the birds and the bees and the purpose of having a sexual relationship. How he or she was born, puberty and getting married. I'm not so sure it's a healthy idea to have same sex couples teaching children about life.  Gay couples are using sarrogate mothers carry their child and then they raise the child but at some point in the childs life he or she will ask Questions. Like why did you bring me here like this?

So...is it emotionally healthy to allow these situations to occur? And should the mental and emotional future of the child be considered in the discussion?

I myself am 14 years old but many of the people I argue with appear to be much older than me so I set up this debate to find out how old the average debater on CD

also when arguing can you put your age please

Abortion should be made illegal execpt in certain cases. I think that the fetus has a life and that fetus did not asked to be planted in the mother. For those of us that supports abortion, do you think that abortion will make a person become more responsible for their actions? How many people are having reapeated abortion? Can we not consider adoption instead of abortion? Why sould the government continue paying for the repaeated abortion of those on welfare causing a constraint in taxpayers?

I suggest you guys read up on the case Roe Vs Wade whic hwas decided by the Supreme Court and the real truth behind this case and abortion.

Guys post your thoughts. Anyone who would like to challenge me, i am open for challenges. Also check up my other arguments such as death penalty etc.

TITLE: DOES WHITE AMERICA PRACTICE WHAT THEY PREACH?     

PARTICIPATION: MEGA DITTOS & QYMOSABI     

IS THE POINT SYSTEM ALLOWED: NO  

  DISCRIPTION:  1) DOES WHITE  AMERICA TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR ACTIONS? 

2) DOES WHITE AMERICA TREAT NON WHITE AMERICANS FAIR AND BALANCED?

You know what they say, pay back is a bitch.

And if they can't take a joke, screw them ;)

Ignoring whether there is a God or not, is the Christian God, in the context of the Bible, evil?

Firstly, look at the word 'unethical'. It doesnt necessarily mean 'illegal'.

Then, think about why and what kind of scientific data is collected unethically.

Now, please, present your argument :)

Are private prisons a good thing or a bad thing?
