Ok, I fixed them. :D

Yea, that's what this side of the argument was tagged as when I joined the debate. I suppose I could have made a new one, but I didn't think it would eventually oppose a problem. I was only going by the title of the debate. Obviously...

Well anyways, yea... don't just hand out condoms. That's not sex education.

What if Susan B. Anthony was aborted?

Oh, and did you point out that slavery was worse than genocide? Maybe I don't understand. Can you elaborate?

I would say it's based more on being detrimental to the lives of the entire family, rather than just inconvenience. It's detrimental to the parents because babies are expensive to properly care for. It's detrimental to the child because it's born into a family that doesn't want and/or love it. No, this is not always the case, but it is often the case.

Preventing this type of family, and many other dysfunctional types, is a good enough reason for it to be a voluntary procedure, no questions asked. Only people who want babies, should get babies.

Do you think Susan B. Anthonys parents wanted her? They weren't disappointed. They had 6 more kids after her.

Bill Clinton gets it. Why doesn't everyone?

This has nothing to do with the debate, Your debate! If you want a McCain vs. Obama debate, go make one. This red herring is getting the blue arrow.

Is society ignoring the other parties and focussing too much on Republicans and Democrats?

I should say so. They are a blip in the media on their best day, and the media decides who we are voting for, what issues we care about, and who we are scared of.

Sex education ≠ "Handing out condoms"

The debate is about weather or not we should teach our kids how all those parts down there work, or just tell them not to use them for anything but peeing and pooping.

How, in any way, does it hurt for the school to teach kids how their bodies work?

This is why I don't agree with not doing something because of potential goods things that could come of it...

There is potential good in almost every action. Maybe we shouldn't have fought the nazis because one of the soldiers might have invented a form of free energy. Maybe our founding fathers shouldn't have fought for our freedom because they might have been great poets. Maybe you should go out and rape and impregnate as many girls as you can because someone influential might pop out. No, The slightest potential for good things to happen should not be our guiding light.

Is there too much advertising?

Way too much. I can't go anywhere without companies trying to brainwash me. How much uglier is the countryside now that most of it is covered with billboards with pictures of fast food on them. This is also another way for big companies to stay on top and keep small businesses struggling.

What good reason is there to believe in any religion?

Whats so wrong with questioning the quality of others beliefs? I live in a democracy. In a democracy, the majority is supposed to be making the decisions. It is my DUTY as a citizen of a democracy to try and spread the ideals I believe are correct to the people. In order to do that, I have to make people question themselves. I have to make people think.

I know there are A LOT of people out there following the same religions. Are they all completely wrong? ...Maybe, maybe. I'm open to debate, Are they?

Should I do this?

If McCain dies in office, this will actually cost us more money on Palins pension. Palin is younger then Obama by 2 years, and women tend to live longer then men anyways.

No way. You have to do five years of cub scouts before you can be a boy scout. You were a cub scout as a new born? I think not.

Funny comment though...

No, I am the Fredist. Fredism, as a belief system, forbids me, not myself.

Are blond jokes offensive?

No way. That was really good for a blond joke.

That's fantastic! I say you go for it, and... um... pics or it didn't happen.

Everything you DO, is shaped by the benefit you may get by doing it, yes. Not everything you believe.

I just don't understand how anyone can truly believe, given the world around us. I obviously don't believe, so I can't come up with what would be a good answer. An example of a reason to believe though, I'd imagine, would sound like...

"I saw a vision one day and Jesus told me to believe" or "My mom was in a car crash and I prayed and she got better" or "My uncle Ahmed had a near death experience, and when he regained consciousness, he said he saw 50 virgins waiting for him.

I don't think these are good reasons, but they are reasons, not benefits.

What do you think about Michelle Obama?

Tue, 23 Sep 2008 11:22:37 -0500

No. Just speculating.

I can see why you would think that, but no, that is not what I am trying to find out. Look up at JoeCs post, he is the only one to answer the question properly, so far. But, I would kinda like to see the accurate debate too....

No way! The cake is so delicious and moist.

Your the only one that answered my question properly Joe. Thank you. That doesn't mean I agree with it though.

Belief, for the fear/hope that it is true, is impossible. There are a lot of religions out there. You can't use this method with all of them because christianity says that you can have no other gods, as many other religions do.

I've heard preachers and reverends say that this is the, "Insurance policy believers" and that," God will know who truly believes when their time comes".

The fear of a story being true, in my opinion, is not a good reason to believe, because I would be too worried about many different conflicting stories of fiction, that I could never appease, if that were my method of discerning facts.

Haha yea, he should have been there too I guess. Not fighting for your country when your FIVE YEARS OLD is pretty elitist i guess. What branch of the military were you in when you were five?
