It can cause diseases, but doesn't mean it will. It's meant to protect the developing penis. A religious reason is no better than a cosmetic reaso. Islamic people mutilate the clitoris of women, this is basically the same thing. Keeping the foreskin will do no harm in the majority of the population. Although some people do do it as a religious identifier, why not do it later in life? Give The guy the choice. It'd mean a lot more spiritually if he gets to make the conscience choice

You're correct, except that illegal immigrants do pay taxes. In the United States, everyone needs a viable SS number to work. Most illegal immigrants get "falsified" ones. They pay taxes into the system that most won't be able to use later.

Yes it should be. No parent should be able to change any part of their child's body for cosmetic reasons. Plus it is painful to the infant. If the Guy wants to do it when he's older then that will be his choice. If it causes issues, then sure, remove it.

It sure is a big risk. My gay friend refuses to date bisexual guys or even to get involved with them. He says that half the time they are 'shady' and two faced. Plus, he knows they probably crave the beauty of the female form, something he says he can't really Provide. Therefore, there is higher chances of them cheating and what not.

A religion is not responsible for the actions of extremists. Should we consider Christianity an issue because the KKK is Christian? Nope, I don't believe so. Extremists commiting terrorists acts is an issue though, I agree. Uncontrolled immigration is not as bad as you might think. History has shown that there has been times of an influx of immigrants, yet they never posed a real threat or even harmed the economy significantly. Maybe in these troubled times of debt we are scared, but only because we aren't secure because of our high national debts. Socialist ideas are not all that bad. I agree that right now, adding more spending isn't the best idea. However, taxing the rich extra (most have way more money than they will ever need, use) and give back to the little guys would be a good solution. Mostly because these little guys already owe most of their money to the rich before they even get to see it. Finally, conservatives in the USA want to go to war again, and that's what caused the darn national debt in the first place! So they're not a good option either. Switching from liberals and conservatives in this debt system offers no real solution, that's why it's such a huge issue

I stated the U.S. national debt as the main issue in the paragraph. The second paragraph was just a secondary argument/question from this debt system we use.

Not only did they see it figuratively, he gave them hope. He reinstated the military for the defense of the country. He helped I'm rebuilding and fortifying the German infrastructure. He also fought to regain "German" territories stripped after WW1. He was a terrible human being and did disgusting things, but I can see why he was voted in and loved in the beginning.

True, but even with insurmountable evidence that leaves with beyond a doubt that the theory is true, it still has the slight chance of being proved wrong. Theories can be disproven, the Big Bang is just what makes sense right now with what we know and with what we can interpret from that evidence.

Yes, it is a plot to dehumanize them. You say someone is not a citizen and automatically all their rights are stripped. Just look at what we call illegal people. We call them illegal aliens. It's a lot easier for people to get behind you and criminalize people, when you don't even call them people. I come from two illegal parents and I have been a proud American my whole life. You say we don't assimilate and that's completely false. You say we survive off of welfare and steal your money and jobs and that's also completely false. There is no other reason that most republicans are trying to get rid of us other than fear. They were against gay marriage because of fear, they are against some women's rights out of fear. They don't want to ban guns out of fear. I have no idea why they fear the majority of us, but we are not hear to harm any Americans or the American way. We are here to be a part of it and help the country grow as we ourselves grow economically.

Yes it's 18 here, but it isn't always rape. If a 16 year old has sex with another 16 year that isn't necessarily rape. Could rape have taken place? Sure ...but not everyone sexual interaction in highsschool is rape. Now, this case in question is always rape. I do agree with that.

No, my birthday is in August ....so I at least have one party to prepare for.

I think we should support overweight people, but in the sense that we don't shame them, but tell them there is a problem. The way I see it, you are telling them they are beautiful people and shouldnt have to hide behind food. People with depression, or other issues, sometimes use food as a comfort. Shaming only makes it worse. Most know they're overweight, but they feel they aren't worth changing habits or they're at a point when it's not that easy anymore. A lot of them are beautiful people and deserve a chance to feel beautiful in order to start making a change. You need to love yourself first in order to better yourself.

No one said one was ok over the other. If you eat Doritos off the floor you just have to understand that there's risks of getting sick. Same with putting genitals in your mouth.

Oh I know I'm a sinner, I never said I wasn't. I'm not making myself better than anyone else, I'm saying everyone has that opportunity God's forgiveness/mercy. I clearly said that being a good person is a start, not being evil and asking for mercy. You stated yourself that if someone denounces God that He still loves them. What you are saying is, that if when they meet him they repent then they may stand a chance. Born again Christians, for example, found God late in life, yet I believe they have a place in heaven. Can't you do the same in death? Hell would have more people than heaven if God didn't show some sort of mercy by noticing that your good outweighs your sinning.

And unless she is raped, it was her decision too. What if she didn't take precautions to avoid getting pregnant? What if a condom breaks, that's not necessarily a man's fault. You can't shame people based on their sexuality. You can, however, make women take responsibility for their choice as well. If I don't want the child, but she does there should be something in place where I can opt out of paying child support. Or if I do want it, and she doesn't, there should also be some sort of agreement where I pay for everything and then get full custody.

Maybe Cubans just want something like in China ...maybe something more. However, the commie government has go listen sometime. If the people don't want them anymore and are willing to risk it all, the governemt won't have anyone to govern. But if they don't want the government out and just want more opportunities, why not try to help?

Good Will Hunting. One of the only movies to make me cry time and time again. One of Matt Damon's best performances and Robin Williams was phenomenal. The whole basic story has similarities with my own and that's why I love the film.

I consider myself egalitarian as well. And although it is a broad term, this allows you to keep an open mind on various different issues. You don't look at anything from one perspective or the other and you are able to keep an open mind. I'd even say that feminism is a sect of egalitarianism, but they focus on gender issues with the perspective of Women. If you consider yourself feminist, it's clear where your mind set is. If you're a woman and a feminist, usually you support various gender issues through the world view of women. You don't take the time to understand the male perspective or the perspective of the people in the middle. If you're a man and a feminist, you're also supporting gender issues through the view of women or what you perceive what the view of women to be. Also in some instances it's just to be on "the good side" of women. If the latter is the only reason then it's kind of detrimental to the whole movement.

For the most part, yes. Except in the rare cases where the two people involved are kids. I think the youngest parents ever were around the age of 10. In this case, I wouldn't consider it rape. Is it wrong? Possibly. But was anyone raped, no.

Yes, and the rights of being a father only come into play after the child is born. Then comes all the responsibility. All responsibility and "rights" come into play especially when matters of child support are in question.

No, he doesn't owe me anything. He did promise forgiveness, however. And being a good person throughout life should give you that. Like I said, how do you know what it takes to get into heaven or not? We can only guess ...unless your second point is true. If you know God personally then you are a prophet and I obviously cannot debate your standing. I pray to God, I see signs of his existence. I see signs of his forgiveness and love. Love is unconditional or else it isn't love.

I wouldn't say women are more privileged than men. However, it's also unfair to assume that men are more privileged than women. Sometimes women have the upper hand, and at others men do. In the United States, for example, Men and Women have equal opportunities.

Although I don't think abortion is something that should become as common as removing a tooth, I'd have to say that in this case it's a definite because a young girl was raped. The abortion should be done with the upmost care though, because of the age of the girl. We should look to see if having the abortion will damage her in any way, and then do what is necessary to prevent any further harm to this innocent child.

No, you're implying that I think my goodness is at his level. All I said was that God loves all his children unconditionally and therefore he can show forgiveness. It's not a weakness to show forgiveness, it's actually a strength. You're also implying that you know God personally and know exactly what he thinks and how he behaves. Where did you learn this? In all actuality none of us know if we are good enough for God. I highly doubt God is as judgmental as most religions make him to be. Mostly because all the scriptures, although holy to their sects, were written by men trying to interpret God's word. Who's to say they got it right? God is something none of us mortal beings can ever fully understand. God branded us with a sense of morality in a sin filled world, however. So I'm sure as long as you make the right choices you will he fine when the time comes.
