If your asking if friendships live forever, I would say no. Everything dies eventually: people, nations, ideas, it's all the same. /pessimistic
No, just look up absurdism. I believe that people, as part of their innate survival mechanism, desire to have or be a part of something greater than what is around them; it gives them purpose and hope in this painful life that seems to lack it.
I use to be all for it being illegal, but after a while I started seeing it as a new type of tobacco; it would be much more cost effective to just legalize and regulate it. Besides, it's your own fault if you want to breath in a harmful substance.
I like having my information, even if it leads to dissatisfaction.
In the Name of Jesus Christ i command he demons speaking through you to be silent right now.
Fuk you.
I know i have authority over you, because Jesus Christ has given it to me.
Oh, so now you have authority over another person because "Jesus" has given you it? That's dangerous thinking you know; soon you'll be saying that you have authority over everyone, and when that happens you'll be the most foolish person ever.
Also Satan is the father of lies and the enemy of Jesus Christ, so i renounce any allegiance i have given to Satan, in the Name of Jesus Christ, and I confess that Jesus Christ is Lord and no one else is. :D
I'm going to call you out as a troll. Though I myself made jokes throughout my responses, I did still give some actual questions to critically discuss. You on the other have just basically been saying "praise jesus". You are a fail troll whom is far too easy to identify.
Is it cool if I call my girlfriend my "little white chocolate love"? :D
Are you a satanist?
Ave Satanas
Also by the way, Jesus Christ has power over Satan.
Damn, really? I always thought Satan would be the man in the relationship :D
I have had demons screaming for mercy by mentioning the Name of Jesus Christ.
You must be pretty bad-ass then. Do you dress in leather and spandex too? It's okay, we're all a little kinky sometimes ;)
When you give a command to demons in Jesus Name they have to listen to you.
What if they don't?
The Name of Jesus Christ is above every name.
So it's the best name? Wait... if it is the best name, then shouldn't there be a lot more people with the name of Jesus? Or is Jesus like Hitler and too egotistical to allow another person to have the same name?
Every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.
Counter-example: I say that Satan is Lord.
Because he gives some of the most brutal treatment to his followers.
Some of us like it brutal ;D
He has been a liar from the day he was thrown out of heaven, and forever will be.
We all lie once in a while.
His doom is the lake of fire.
Hot tubs are nice.
Satan wants to destroy all that God has created, including us.
We all have to die some day. Plus some of gods creations are stupid anyways (aka viruses, mosquitos, etc)
God gave us life, and He wants us to live with Him for eternity, with no pain and suffering, and loss, and no sin.
If that was true, then why is there pain, suffering, loss, and sin? If god simply eliminated it all, everything would be alright. So pull the free-will card so that I can respond again, yea? :D
That is the best thing that could ever happen, living forever and ever worshiping Jesus Christ
Why does he need to be worshipped?
sacrificed everything for me
So what?
Amen
Ave Satanas
Yes. God is real and Christ is his son who died to save us. Will you be saved?
I think it could be, though I believe most people who are Irish are okay with the stereotype as it provides excellent marketing opportunities as well as a sense of easily identifiable cultural identity. To clarify my last point, let's use a Canadian example (as I am most familiar with them):
Stereotype: All Canadians live in igloos, use dog-sled teams as transportation, and worship the beaver.
General response I hear from my Canadian pals: "Hell yea! We're Canadian!"
Like, the stereotype seems to be used as almost like a proud label to distinguish one from the regular masses. I don't know, what do you think?
I don't know... if I find someone who I really love (and who loves me back), then shoot I guess I would drop it like a hot potato.
For the empire!
Plus, look at the Roman Empire and how it was held together from immediate collapse via the five good emperors.
I focus on education so that I can get a really good-paying job so that I'll have more money and time to focus on pleasure :D
This is going to sound selfish but whatever:
Sacrificing myself or someone I care about for random other people? Pffft, hell no.
Random person sacrificing themselves for others? Good job, your good (even though I would never sacrifice myself for you).
Sacrificing myself for someone I care about? Sure.
Someone I care about sacrificing themselves for random other people? I'd try to convince them not to, but it is ultimately their choice so.... yea.
Chemistry (looking at becoming a chemical engineer), Star Wars (hell yea!), cats (they're adorable!), mathematics (currently have 100% in pre-calculus [beat that, fakir]), abstract ideas (philosophy and stuffs), and good books with an honourable hero in a story of true love (sounds kinda sappy but whatever; I like books like that).
After reading the controversy section of the wikipedia article on her, my opinion is that she is more negative than positive with her criticisms and comments about society.
:O Standing in the sidelines watching this epic flame-war play out on my thread
German culture; I really like their traditional food. Also, I admire that Germany has almost always been a leader in technology and societal development.
If I had to choose a culture other than German, I would choose Icelandic. Once again I admire that country has been at the forefront of societal development.
What if one were paralyzed from the neck down and had average intelligence (100IQ)? Of course Hawkings is beneficial and useful but what if someone were not that smart? Just because they have a conscious awareness that mentally retards don't does not make their brain a utility.
I find that there is a distinct difference between someone who is stupid and paralysed and someone who is mentally retarded. I believe that a mentally retarded being (depending on the severity of the retardation) cannot even measure up to a stupid person in terms of intellect or even personality.
To put it simply, I do not think a stupid paralysed person is even remotely similar to a retard in that they still have a life: they can still learn, communicate, share ideas, have goals and dreams, and generally still be a person (albeit restricted).
Dang, I had no idea stuff like this existed. Anyways... I believe it should be banned because as the old saying goes:
"If what you are doing is really innocent, then you shouldn't have to hide it"
:D
For my argument I would like you to think of a human that is so mentally handicapped, that they just sit in a chair and drool all day. The human cannot feed itself or properly go to the bathroom. Any attempted communication consists of random incomprehensible screams and wails.
Physical disabilities? No.
Mental disabilities? Yes.
I find that people with with mental disabilities (particularly severe retardation cases such as anencephaly) are a problem to society. Because of their mental state, they are not beneficial to the world in the way of contributing something.
For comparison, a person with a physical disability (such as a missing arm or leg) can still contribute to the world via mental skills and abilities. A person with a severe mental disability that renders them incapable of even the most menial tasks cannot do anything; they are literally (I feel) just a parasitic drain on resources.
If an incapable being is completely unwanted by everyone and anything, is it immoral to consider its termination? Is it wrong to destroy such a thing just because it is alive? Think of it as this: Would you keep a cancerous tumour alive?
To put it bluntly I believe that beings that match what I have described above, should be terminated to maintain the integrity of society.
Note: I've got the feeling that my post is going to be flamed hard; therefore I have brought hot dogs and marshmallows :D
This video explains everything regarding Pluto and it's title of "planet"/"dwarf planet".
Heck no. Too many weird hypothetical complications that come with being immortal.
Do you know what happens if a person is alone too long? They go crazy.
The Empire in Star Wars was based off of Nazi Germany. Who wouldn't want to be a stormtrooper?
"For the Emperor!"
I don't think it should be oppressed, but I also don't think it needs to be "expressed".
I am given the impression by the debate description that Wicca should become more public and common; I disagree with this. As I said before Wicca is just another bat-shit-crazy religion to me, and as such I do not not see any major positives for it becoming more known and possibly spreading. That said, I also think that it should't be oppressed as people have the right to believe anything they want to.
Does this clarify my argument?
Honestly, to me it's just another bat-shit-crazy religion.
Edit: Switched Sides of Debate
The poor fellows are restrained from every pursuing true greatness and knowledge.
Gawd... this could easily turn into some really dark and twisted humour XD
Do fictional religions count? If yes, I admire Mandalorian and Vampire (from House of Night books) religion. I don't care for any human religion.
Could I be a beautiful woman for just a couple of days? Just long enough to film myself doing things? ;D
To respond seriously, I'd choose male as I like being a guy; plus I don't want to deal with monthly calls.
I'm in agreement with you. What type of new energy source do you think will replace oil though? My guess is nuclear fusion.
I was going to address most if not all of your post, but you seem to be too much of a cunt to see past your irrationality. I will not reply to anymore of your posts due to the reason I have given. My last statement to you is GTFO and KYS.
It seems like a good idea, but then what about crazed criminals firing metal rounds? I'm just thinking that overall it is more effective and efficient to take on baddies with equal armament.
Wtf?
a) My original post was not aimed towards black males, nor do I think any previous posts were.
b) You could be considered racist with your generalization that black males are "much more endowed"
c) I don't have anything against other races; if any of my previous posts seem or are racist, you should take note that I did not intend them to seem or be that way.
d) I like to describe myself as an nihilistic atheistic existentialist
Not much else to say but to call you a cunt and tell you to fuck off so...
Fuck off cunt.
I know so many people who really need to read your argument and actually become intelligent. Thumbs up for being a smart person.
I agree with your argument.
From my point of perspective, life does not have an inherent or grand purpose; however that doesn't mean you can't enjoy it by creating purpose. I want to live my life because I want to experience good entertainment, fantastic food, and love with another being. Though my life isn't worth much on a cosmological level of value, it is worth a great amount on a human level of value.
I find that whenever something like this comes up, Christians immediately jump to the argument of "You're all interpreting it wrong! Praise Jesus!" or some other delusional BS. Still, it is interesting...
The world would be a better place without you correct?
Maybe, maybe not. I know it would definitely be a better place without you. KYS? :D
The self love and arrogance of pro choice loonies is beyond rational.
Depends on your perspective. I feel the same way about pro-life loonies such as yourself.
The utter inhumanity of any people to sacrifice others for their own sake is beyond hideous.
That's how the world tends to work; deal with it.
It is my personal belief that he would look like this). I also believe that he would start a new revolution against the bourgeoisie and establish another magnificent utopia of equal persons.
I agree, unwanted bastard children just pose problems to our society :D
Pretty much. lolzors and starchild123 are either trolls or mentally insane.
Urban Dictionary:
The worst day of the week. Sucks because you would rather be hitting arms, or shoulders, or chest, or even back, but you are stuck working the part of your body that shows the least. Usually involves a large amount of walking around, stalling, and hype. If you skip leg day, you will be deemed a bitch and be called such from then on out. Best pump, but usually involves the most work
"Hey tom, you hittin leg day?"
"Fuck yea brah, I ain't a bitch, leg day every day!"
I don't get it....
Sorry for an confusion, but I mean valid as in having a sound basis in logic or fact. For you argument, can you explain how the information is valid?
think about if your parents aborted you.
If my parents aborted me I would not care, as I would not exist.
However, that baby is a human
Please define a human.
It is alive and thriving
Mmm... like a tumour.
and will potentially be born as a full size baby human.
Potentially. Sperm also has the potential to become a full size baby human, but it still does not have any rights.
If a mother gets an abortion the day before the child is due, it is considered a fetus, but if that baby has come out of the womb it is a baby?
I would not even consider a newborn baby a person yet... please refer to my post on the other side of this debate.
but if that child speak it would say "I don't want to die."
That's just it, it can't. That "child" isn't even aware of it's own existence yet.
The conclusion is that from the moment of conception, that "Fetus" is a human, and they should have rights.
So far you have just given BS answers as to why a fetus should be considered a person. Seriously, give me a good definition of what is a person and then see if a fetus applies to the definition.
My opinion:
No. In order for a fetus to have rights, it must be a person. I define a person as something that is self aware and exhibits theory of mind.
From Wikipedia:
Self Awareness: Self-awareness is the capacity for introspection and the ability to recognize oneself as an individual separate from the environment and other individuals. Researchers have demonstrated that the awareness of ourselves begins to emerge at around one year of age and becomes much more developed by around 18 months of age.
Theory of Mind: Theory of mind (often abbreviated ToM) is the ability to attribute mental states — beliefs, intents, desires, pretending, knowledge, etc. — to oneself and others and to understand that others have beliefs, desires, and intentions that are different from one's own.
ROFL, your whole argument is just so bad. Seriously, actually gain some intelligence before you post.
But those laws were changed by Jesus , that was why the Jews hated him and had him killed .
That^
What exactly do you mean when you say an objective moral? Do you mean some sort of action that is always absolutely good or evil? If that is the case then my opinion is no, as what is "good" and "evil" simply depends on what we perceive it to be.
Also, I am saying that morality itself is subjective.
What is "moral" simply depends on how we perceive it.
For example; a high ranking Nazi officer would most likely see Hitler's actions as just, while a Jewish prisoner in a concentration camp would see Hitler's actions as unjust.
Dictionaries have been under peer review since they have been first published. They consider all definitions relevant; Why don't you?
Because some definitions are completely retarded and are in need of revision/update. Some of the most intelligent users on this site have agreed that the definition (the one LeRocky posted) is completely generalized and can apply to anything; not to mention how it still isn't the most relevant one listed on Oxford and Merriam-Webster. So again, it is retarded to use that definition when it is so logically flawed.
I'm guessing that you consider yourself to be on some higher plain
To be completely truthful, I do (to a degree) think that I am on a higher plain as I am not restricted or hindered by some stupid stone-age belief of the existence of a magical sky wizard.
and therefore there isn't a need to use all information just bits and pieces.
Oh you mean like Christians when it comes to quoting the Bible?
How far is Heaven from you?
How far is rational thinking from you?
No, you do not understand the etymology and true meaning of the words "pursuit" and "devotion".
Are you sure you understand those words? This is more or less turning into a semantics argument.
And it is not my definition, but the official definition of both Oxford and Merriam-Webster dictionaries, although the latter phrased it differently.
From Merriam-Webster:
religion: the belief in a god or in a group of gods
From Oxford:
religion: The belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, especially a personal God or gods
The definition you gave is the third one listed on Oxford and Merriam-Webster. It is retarded to use that definition because it applies to almost anything.
/still a dummkopf
"A pursuit or interest followed with great devotion."
So stamp collecting, masturbating, bird-watching, teaching, eating/drinking, pretty much f#cking everything is a religion according to your definition.
/dummkopf
but no proof shown
Theists are the ones with the claim, therefore they are the ones who must prove "god".
God is real! And until you show or give me evidence of his non-existence, he is real!
Fairies are real! And until you show or give me evidence of their non-existence, they are real!
See how irrational your argument is?
I am going to assume that by "god", you are referring to the Christian god. Here we go:
- Absolutely no empirical evidence for "god"
- The attributes people describe god as having (omnibenevolent, omniscient, omnipotent) are impossible; the impossibility of these attributes can be demonstrated with questions like "can god create a being more powerful than himself?"
- Morality is subjective, so there is no "absolute" evil or good (in reference to god and the devil)
- The Bible is not a source of evidence for god as it was written by century-old retards who understood nothing about the world/universe
- The Bible actually demonstrates god's immorality rather well
- Is it easier to say "I don't know how or why the universe started" or "some magical fantastic space wizard wanted to create the universe because he.... wanted a few laughs?"
There are many, many more reasons that I could list but you get the point.
I think there might be something to "autism", but I honestly think most of it is just BS. I feel that most of the "symptoms" are too easily recognizable and justifiable.
Religion is defined as such: a set of beliefs concerning the cause, nature, and purpose of the universe.
Please actually google and view the top results of the definition of religion before you post.
Majority of dictionaries define religion as something like this:
"the belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, especially a personal God or gods."
So yea....
Don't have one. I've seen many fantastic movies but to have one "favorite" would be excluding the rest.
I would die for someone I care about, especially a romantic partner or a son/daughter. And I would kill for survival of those I care about and myself.
Hhmm... that's literally everything I would die/kill for. I honestly couldn't care less about a "cause", such as the survival of a country or the administration of justice; as long as those I care about are good, I'm good.
As an extension to my response I will say that if a cause is in the best interest of someone I care about, then I will fight for the cause. Example: I will fight for a country if those I care about who live in said country, may be harmed if it falls.
Not really, but it does show the original poster who upvoted them.
I consider something "overrated" if a large amount (or majority) of people like it despite myself finding horribly distasteful.
Example: bacon (it's so greasy and gross)
Majority of the time yea... they are, after all, my opinions...
Overall, I'd say yes. Capitalism makes competition in the market which helps increase technological and product advancement.
The only downfall to capitalism is that it can lead to greed, corruption, injustice, and unfairness among social classes, if not monitored and controlled.
One also has to take into consideration that there will always be the poor and the rich; it is impossible to truly have everyone in society on an equal level.
Hmm... I started my username as Idiotbox914 on a video game that I use to play. Since then I have just always used it as a username. Unfortunately, I misspelled it when joining this site and it came out as Idiotobx914.
As for why my username is Idiotbox914, it is a reference to Spongebob.
