CreateDebate is a social debate community built around ideas, discussion and democracy.
If this is your first time checking out a debate, here are some quick tips to help get you started:
Arguments with the highest score are displayed first.
Argument replies (both in favor and in opposition) are displayed below the original argument.
To follow along, you may find it helpful to show and hide the replies displayed below each argument.
To vote for an argument, use these icons:
You have the power to cast exactly one vote (either up or down) for each argument.
Once you vote, the icon will become grayed out and the argument's score will change.
Yes, you can change your vote.
Debate scores, side scores and tag scores are automatically calculated by an algorithm that primarily takes argument scores into account.
All scores are updated in real-time.
To learn more about the CreateDebate scoring system, check out the FAQ.
When you are ready to voice your opinion, use the Add Argument button to create an argument.
If you would like to address an existing argument, use the Support and Dispute link within that argument to create a new reply.
Republicans stand for initiative, hard work, SELF RELIANCE, and taking full responsibility for one's own life.
Republicans recognize that we're all in a COMPETITION, the COMPETITION of the 'cut and thrust of life and condition themselves mentally to be ready and able to succeed in this conflict of SURVIVAL of THE FITTEST, just as mother nature intended.
The parasitic idlers and weak minded look to those with a political dogma which supports the altogether unnatural and totally false hypothesis that we can all live in a SOMETHING FOR NOTHING Utopia.
Such feeble minded fools like to refer to such left with sentiments with phases like, 'THE CARING PARTY, when what they really mean is, 'I don't want to work, accept responsibility for my life, but would like someone to provide me with taxpayer's hard earned dosh and take control of my affairs,as I'm too lazy and incapable.
Through 'NATURAL SELECTION mother nature intended these wasters to become extinct but we keep them alive artificially and pay the price every day as these Democrat supporting blooding spongers suck the life blood from the economy.
@ x. As a local manager for a major manager and then as a business owner I can confirm your sound logic that engaging or promoting staff on any other criteria than merit would have been entering onto the road to disaster.
Of course there will be the lunatic element who will know better, the bankruptcy courts are full of such shitrheads.
I suppose, to a person such as yourself (who has earned no merit), such a system would be a 'nightmare'--as you are unapologetically held to the position you deserve (no influence)
Lol. In spite of your lofty proclamations, you have as much insight into my personal merits as you have into academia generally. Which is to say, literally fuck all.
Every cretinous reply you write is based upon the exact same false premise that you are telepathic and hence are qualified to tell other people what their qualifications are, how they feel and what they think. It is a fantastic expose of your own narcissistic and delusional character.
To be clear, I asked Antrim a question as I am interested in his thoughts--not yours. You jumped in (uninvited) eagerly stating your thoughts on the matter. Then, I suggested that there are rather obvious reasons why a drunken fool (such as yourself) would hate the idea of Meritocracy as opposed to 'Democracy', considering such a person would overwhelmingly likely never achieve much. Thus, the system would unapologetically shut them out of political influence, while in a 'Democracy' one is granted such political influence (in principle) regardless of whether they are a highly-ambitious, intelligent, knowledgeable individual or an ignorant, lazy, fool
To be clear, I asked Antrim a question as I am interested in his thoughts--not yours.
Ah, but you have written at least three replies to me within the space of the last ten minutes, which implies the precise opposite of what you claim.
Furthermore, it is strange that you simultaneously never think to question whether I am interested in your own silly walls of poorly veiled, jealous sniping and childish insults. It doesn't even cross your mind while you sit there with your underpants on your head, fishing in the dark for hurtful things to say. I mean, your efforts are just pathetic. Calling me a drunk? Lol. I don't drink alcohol at all, and the last time I was drunk was probably a decade ago.
Calling me a drunk? Lol. I don't drink alcohol at all, and the last time I was drunk was probably a decade ago
Within the last few days or so, you declared your behavior & habits very proudly (amazingly so, considering how contemptible the scene/situation described was/is)
Now, I asked you in a separate thread just last week, and you have (as of yet) failed to respond
Hang on, you just said not five minutes ago that you aren't interested in my thoughts. Well, which is it, you stupid, schizophrenic moron? Are you interested in them or aren't you?
You can't blame me if you are stupid enough to contradict yourself during a debate. That's on you.
Republicans stand for initiative, hard work, SELF RELIANCE, and taking full responsibility for one's own life.
What laughable bullshit. Republicans stand for none of these things. The only thing Republicans stand for is their own bullshit, which, if you refuse to swallow of your own free will, they will happily force down your throat with an impressive portfolio of smear attacks, slander, Freudian projection, straw man argumentation and astonishing lies. No intelligent person would believe a word which leaves the mouth of a Republican. We are talking about the party which tried to force Joe Wilson to say he witnessed a uranium deal which never happened, and tried to have his wife -- a CIA agent and long-term patriot -- killed by foreign intelligence when he refused to comply. The party which gave us the prince of liars Richard Nixon, who paid ex-CIA agents to break into opposition headquarters and steal information he could use to rig the election. The party which used the CIA to illegally smuggle and distribute cocaine, heroin and weapons, while it was simultaneously sentencing civilians to life in prison for the same offences.
Everything you say is a carefully worded lie because you are a dangerous sociopath with an unmistakable God complex. People like you gravitate to the Republican Party for the simple reason that they reward immoral behaviour.
Through 'NATURAL SELECTION
We've been through this, dickhead. Natural selection is not using artificial capital to negate my natural strength and intelligence. That is the precise opposite of natural selection.
Stop twisting reality around like silly putty, clown.
All the character strengths I listed are totally alien to layabout filth like you so you're confused and disorientated.
As a self confessed alcoholic junkie you have automatically disqualified yourself as a fit and proper person able to express an opinion on this or any other subject.
You've always been a loser, you are a loser and you'll continue be a loser.
You were never really able to grasp the reality of the world in which you love so you hit the booze and drugs.
SHITBAGS LIKE YOU WANT A FREE RIDE AND KICK AGAINST ANYONE WHO THREATENS TO DERAIL THE GRAVY TRAIN.
By the way, I never read any of your drivel as, like the tedious, repetitive shithawk you are, once you've read one you've read them all.
Obviously republican, no one likes liberals.. literally no one. Thank goodness we have Donald Trump instead of Hillary because if she was president, the world would be in more chaos than it is today
Technically you don’t need any, just claim everything is fake news and discredit all your opponents with non-factual Russian born attack adds, then take Mob money and attempt to become the next dictator in the New Soviet Republic of America.
I believe that the question itself is invalid. Any rational thinking breathing person will have their own viewpoints that may run the gamut on positions throughout the spectrum of diverse views. What I’m saying is, is that to think of two separate position ie: two different political parties, as somehow representational of all the voters myriad of different positions is insane. An incredibly huge portion of the population would find themselves divorced from reason as their party endorsed some sacrilegious point of infantile reason. In point of fact people’s opinions and views seemed to be claimed by one party or the other forcing a person to come up with a party of evil, and then one of lesser evil to vote for as they sort out thier moral values and the prevailing views that can be substantiated by their local politician. This is the sad Fact of a two party system that is owned by corporations for personal familial gain.
Independent moderate. The polarization of politics and the monopoly of the Republican and Democratic Parties are ruining this nation.
I believe in being good to people but also not breaking the budget as you do it.
I believe in letting people live their lives how they want to as long as it's consensual and not hurting someone else.
I believe a good idea can come from anyone anywhere along the political spectrum and if you shut them out just because they're not the same as you then it's actually you who are being the idiot, not them.
And I believe there are a lot more people like me than like the opposite extremes of conservatives and liberals. The extremists (and/or trolls) just want you all to believe moderates don't exist and don't get anything done and are a waste of time. It's part of their smoke screen.
Now watch for FromWithin to post below his standard smear about abortion.
