if the dictator was good yes, problem is, there is a 1 in a 100000000000000000000000000000000000000
you make so very very weary.....
you do know this kind of whinny shit storm is exactly why every other country is embarrassed to be seen in the same room as America for the last couple of decades?
and while were on the topic of him being a communist did you also know hes a Muslim? and went to a racist church? and is the anti Christ? also he part of the Illuminati, wants to eat baby's, is creating death panels, and oh, free mason's, just throwing it out there
Glenn beck is whatever hes getting paid to be. case and point, the gold company he was being funded by
they need to make that into a song parody
"Another communist country bites the dust!"
but ya, woot and all, but we don't know what reform might lead the Cubans to, could be something worse then communism...like..super communism..is that a thing? that's a thing right? fuck it im trademarking that shit
actually there is 1 that is unforgivable
Mark 3:22-30
"he who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is subject to eternal condemnation"
Matthew 12:31-32
"Therefore I say to you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven men"
this is actually what made me convert from being a Christian, it pretty much means that if you say, or even think that god could not forgive even once for a split MOMENT, then your going to head, so yeah, the biggest crime in Christianity is THINKING.
EDIT: some mistakes.
have you ever tried making it rain in a strip club with pieces of gold? it leaves bruises, that's my excuse in court anyway

depends really, if the Germans got the japs to attack Britain instead of the Americans, Britain would have been defeated, there is no doubt in my mind about that, even though we had a smashing air force it wouldn't have been enough to defeat the Nazis and the japs. but we would probably get back our independence if the soviets won against the Germans, although if the soviets did win by themselves then they might have tried to claim Britain for their own. and if I'm not mistaken the Americans convinced Canada to join, although i might be wrong about that one.
and i must disagree with the statement "we were doing fine" we had been chased out of mainland Europe and British soil was held by the Germany.
and we cant forget the humiliating defeat of Singapore

i guess really we could never know
"shows a change over recent year."
this is what i said.
"Merseyside Police said in Croxteth and Norris Green there has been a 23% drop in firearms discharges since then."
and this is what the article said
so yes, violence has been decreasing,
"Meanwhile, anti-social behavior in the area decreased by 30% between April 2006 and April 2009 and violent crime dropped by 34% for the same period. "
(from the same article)
so yeah we have them (sort of). still not the cool hover car, but its a step
admittedly that is a very good evidence, i found this that shows a change over recent year.
fuck no, he wanted to carry on WW2 with the Russians, he was a psychopath, although admittedly what we needed to beat the Germans.
if you bothered reading my argument you would notice i said gun related violence, and did not cover increase in all cases of violence, which the article you linked tackles.
the US has a higher murder rate then the UK
http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/
and ill also relink the amount of murders in the us with firearms compared with the rest of the world
http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/
"create more violence."
this is one of the only parts i disagree with.
the restrictions on guns in the UK are huge and we have very few gun related violence incidents
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/
"the Second Amendment was intended to supply the nation with guns if the current government oversteps its authority with exorbitant laws of tyranny through the elimination of freedom and liberty."
you have got to remember this was ages ago, when the government wasn't very strong, and a rebellion was possible, its not in the US today i believe.
(I'm tired so i might have read some things in the wrong context)
(EDIT: and heres something i just found, don't know how accurate it is
though)
http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/
don't know how accurate this site is, but it gives a good idea of what hes done
http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/
seems hes doing alright so far
its glenn beck what do you expect?
find a better source then glenn beck and well talk,

fuck you we have
"Long may she reign:
May she defend our laws,
And ever give us cause
To sing with heart and voice"
well done you can spit out some useless song. shes a danger to our freedom in the way that she can, if I'm not mistaken,
· declare war and send troops abroad;
· to make international and European treaties;
· to make appointments and award honors;
· to make major changes to the structure of government
that to me, is a blatant insult to the people. and no amount of titles should ever make her opinion and choices more important then the average citizen
homosexual families have every right to adopt children in fact according to a recent study
"however, they were surprised to discover that children in lesbian homes scored higher than kids in straight families on some psychological measures of self-esteem and confidence, did better academically and were less likely to have behavioral problems, such as rule-breaking and aggression"
so yeah, gay families raise children better then straight families.

i think that most religions are fairly irrational, a lot of the times they do harm, do i think people shouldn't be allowed to have religious beliefs? no, they can believe whatever they want as long as it doesn't effect me or other peoples way of life, but when people like the one in the videos start trying to force their ideology on to people, then theirs a problem.
yet, i bet we both knew Africa was a Continent right?
its been shown before you don't need to be smart or right to make money.
some of the greatest and most creative people have died poor.
Nikola Tesla
Harvey Ball, (he created the smiley face, http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_JN5N5r9mbo0/
and Socrates.
depends what you mean by normal,
where i live they arnt "normal" as in common, but where i live neither are blacks, should i treat blacks differently? nope.
besides, being gay is genetic, and natural, there are many examples of animals in nature being gay.
and many of the worlds greatest people have been homosexual
freddie mecury
leonardo da vinchie was suspected of being homosexual
richard the lion heart
to name a few
heres some arguments for abortion.
Nearly all abortions take place in the first trimester, when a fetus cannot exist independent of the mother. As it is attached by the placenta and umbilical cord, its health is dependent on her health, and cannot be regarded as a separate entity as it cannot exist outside her womb.
The concept of person hood is different from the concept of human life. Human life occurs at conception, but fertilized eggs used for in vitro fertilization are also human lives and those not implanted are routinely thrown away. Is this murder, and if not, then how is abortion murder?
Adoption is not an alternative to abortion, because it remains the woman's choice whether or not to give her child up for adoption. Statistics show that very few women who give birth choose to give up their babies - less than 3% of white unmarried women and less than 2% of black unmarried women.
Abortion is a safe medical procedure. The vast majority of women - 88% - who have an abortion do so in their first trimester. Medical abortions have less than 0.5% risk of serious complications and do not affect a woman's health or future ability to become pregnant or give birth
In the case of rape or incest, forcing a woman made pregnant by this violent act would cause further psychological harm to the victim. Often a woman is too afraid to speak up or is unaware she is pregnant, thus the morning after pill is ineffective in these situations.
Abortion is not used as a form of contraception. Pregnancy can occur even with responsible contraceptive use. Only 8% of women who have abortions do not use any form of birth control, and that is due more to individual carelessness than to the availability of abortion
The ability of a woman to have control of her body is critical to civil rights. Take away her reproductive choice and you step onto a slippery slope. If the government can force a woman to continue a pregnancy, what about forcing a woman to use contraception or undergo sterilization?
Teenagers who become mothers have grim prospects for the future. They are much more likely to leave of school; receive inadequate prenatal care; rely on public assistance to raise a child; develop health problems; or end up divorced
Like any other difficult situation, abortion creates stress. Yet the American Psychological Association found that stress was greatest prior to an abortion, and that there was no evidence of post-abortion syndrome.
personally, i think it should be a choice, why should someone else, who has no idea what a person is feeling have the ability to make a decision for them? although i believe abortion is always a very bad choice, and shouldn't be considered, but it should still be a option.
"Precisely why they were good candidates"
ill refer you to my comment on how palin didn't know that Africa was a continent.
trust me, people with a lot less of a reasone have won that award.
http://www.cracked.com/
ahh...well...there goes my argument...while i try to think of a new argument wacth this video to the end
they might have done something i liked, but not much, since their against a lot of what i believe in.
and if they were elected, even though it doesn't seem physically possible, America would become definitely become a lot more alienated, every European i have talked despises McCain and palin. and most Europeans think the hard right in America is a joke.
yes lets let the person who didn't know Africa was a Continent become vice president. /face-palm
there was a lot of infighting between the 2
http://www.youtube.com/
letting Sarah palin have any amount of real power is incredibly dangerous.
"Unless you back this up with some sources, I refuse to believe such nonsense."

"You know why they failed? Because back then, people had larger brains."
nice argument, maybe you can use your own brain next time.
everyone? what are you on about? most of the educated Greeks knew the earth was spherical. the Native Americans knew it. and so did many medieval scholars. pretty much everyone did, the thought of "everyone thought the earth was flat" is a myth.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
"These people wrote first hand accounts of what they saw and heard" so if i write about how i owned the world and then made puppies fly out of the air, it might be true?
"No, so normally you trust historical accounts written by people who lived in that period of time." the bible isn't a historical account. most of the historic texts about Jesus and co, described him as a "troublemaker" and didn't describe his miracles. and as Ive said time and time again, the bible is full of contradictions, making any "historic account" in it unlikely and flimsy
http://www.infidels.org/library/modern/
"Also, you say the Bible has contradictions? Where? Until you point them out to me, I think this is completely untrue."
http://www.project-reason.org/
enough contradictions for you? or do you need more?

now explain.

and the real meaning of "theory" in scientific terms.
it is believed that these organisms came from a meteor that hit earth, and unlike creation, there's plenty of evidence for evolution. we have already observed micro-evolution, natural selection and fossil records. Evolution has been a developing field of research for the past 200 years, and is supported by science, and creationists has shown nothing to prove their beliefs.
"When men strive together one with another, and the wife of the one draweth near for to deliver her husband out of the hand of him that smiteth him, and putteth forth her hand, and taketh him by the secrets: Then thou shalt cut off her hand, thine eye shall not pity her" - Deuteronomy 15:11-12
"to teh women he said: i will greatly increase your pain in childbearing: with pain you will give birth to children. your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you" -Genesis 3:16
If a betrothed virgin is raped in the city and doesn't cry out loud enough, then "the men of the city shall stone her to death." (Deuteronomy)
Heaven is to be inhabited by 144,000 virgin men who have not been "defiled" by women. (RE 14:1-4) [One wonders how this squares with God's command to, "Be fruitful and multiply...(Genesis )]
(war or peace?)
EXO 15:3 The LORD is a man of war: the LORD is his name.
ROM 15:33 Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen.
"I'm trying not to be racist but all the black Americans voted him because he was...well...black, so they thought they would get better benefits because their president was black."
I'm not trying to generalize but all the retards voted republican because their...well...retarded and do retarded things, which retarded people like.
see what i did there?
did Europe become a country while i wasn't looking?
but even if they tried a joint effort, it would ultimately fail,
Europe is pretty a continent made out of hate.
Britain hates itself, try getting a welsh man to work with a Englishman, or a Scotsmen to work with a Irish man, or a Irishman to work with a Welshman, or a Welshman work with a Scotsmen, or a Scotsmen with a Englishmen (i think u get the idea) the whole of Europe is pretty much that.
papers pretty plentifully, so, why not.
and the scene of someone throwing bills off a building that float safely down, is a lot more appealing then throwing many coins off traveling at terminal velocity
http://www.youtube.com/
(i could only find that version)
imagine that, but with a couple hundred coins
yeah, atheist make fun of theists, but there's a reason
xbox 360 because unlike like the ps3, it has a MANS CONTROLLER. GRRRRRRRRRR!!!! MANLINESS!!!!
but nah, 360 just has better games at the moment, which is why I'm for it. and Sony a dick heads
http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/06/
come on...just look at that picture...could they be anymore racist?
cough GLEN BECK cough cough
so yeah. i call BS
and i let Lewis Black explain.
(sorry for misspelling the title did it in a rush)
after traveling around Europe for a bit, and living in Britain for a large part of my life, i have normally got the consensus that a large portion of Europeans think the American republicans are nuts. I'm not talking about all republicans I'm talking about people like Glen beck, and Sarah Palin.
"even an American who knows"
pretty much everyone realizes hes American except people with a case of paranoia.
"is not honest and unfit to lead" hes more honest then that chimp bush, or the majority of politicians.
"he tell the truth no "
about what?
yes they are...but so are British...and french...and Chinese... and pretty much everyone else...
just a few days ago 2 people blocked the road side by side to have a 5 min chat on one of the busiest roads in the area i live in. that might just be them being jackasses but if i wasn't in a good mood i would of road raged and rear ended one of them.
no way, the monarchy is only sucking up money at the moment. they can veto any law they want, so 1 person who hasn't had to work a day in their life has more power then nearly anyone else. Nowadays the monarchy is just for tourists, and even they are not that important to the tourist industry. when my cousins from the US come over to visit they really only want to see the palace and stuff, they could care less about who's in charge.
it costs around £100 million a year to keep them

its ridiculous that the tax payers have to cover their asses.
and to anyone that says its part of the British heritage
THEIR DAM GERMANS!
did i ever specifically say "i hate Islam" i don't think i did, and i apologies if i have, i don't hate people because of their religion, and i try not to hate people at all. but this is a debate site which is why I'm debating.
i have tried multiple times to connect with god, and i thought i had with multiple religions, until something proved that it was a lie. he found a belief he can follow, good for him, but why should i ? Ive never felt any real divine intervention, and until i do, or something comes up that has enough to sway my belief to follow a particular god(s), i shall continue being a atheist.
