Cicero's Waterfall RSS

This personal waterfall shows you all of Cicero's arguments, looking across every debate.

He's not forced by anyone to do anything, he could starve if he wants. It's in his own self-interest to not die.

How is an organization relevant? I honestly missed your point.

1 point

Why can't the capitalists be productive without the poor? They can get menial labor jobs in services and manufacturing and still be productive.

What happens to the laborers if they have no one to pay them?

Prevent Karl Marx and Friederich Engels, and all other potential communists from surviving past the age of 3.

Why is this debate even here? There are at least 4 just like it. This debate is as pointless as Qymosabi's and those theism debates.

1 point

That is pure speculation. How do we know if that is a bad thing? They had such cheap oil, I sure would like that now.

1 point

Ad Hominem attacks have been deeply ingrained in American politics for over 2 centuries. To rid us of them now would be a great discredit to our rich culture.

I just have a question, what happens when the government runs out of money?

And by the way making absolute assertions such as "all expert econimists" is very dangerous because they can be disproven much more easily than saying many expert economists.

Yes these things are impossible without government. But government is a necessary evil. I think what the person you are disputing is saying that the necessary evil shouldn't have too much power to become a malicious evil.

I can't believe you're seriously arguing that monopolies are good. If you check the debate record I never said that monopolies are good, I was just doubting their abillity to exist for extended periods of time or at all.

2 points

It isn't charity if it isn't given freely. If it is forced it only breeds contempt for the needy instead of the love all men need.

1 point

The key word is promote. It does not say provide the general welfare.

1 point

Rockefeller's Standard Oil dropped the price of oil to less than that of water. And the price kept going down. How is that bad for society?

1 point

Besides the fact that yours are facetious, you forgot that Americans hate protracted war. Why do you think the end of the war was celebrated? Truman would have committed political suicide if he authorized an unwinnable war.

1 point

And when people can't afford them they won't buy them and the price will drop. A monopoly cannot exist forever. Furthermore no monopoly has ever risen up naturally.

What degenerate place were you born that didn't teach you English?

1 point

The creator of this debate has no ability to speak English. His debate does not have any merit as "Ronald Regan" is not in any history book.

2 points

There's a reason why the government has a monopoly on force. The force is divided (in America) between the military, the courts, the police, and the militias.

Patton was the best general alive at his time.

If Patton was so good why wasn't he the ranking officer of the Allies? Why was he relieved of duty for slapping an infirm? Rommel was the best of his time.

So they can be invaded again.

That'll be the day, they were invaded by the Mongols under Subutai. That was before Russia had any unification. Try it now and you have no chance.

The Russians had been spying on the US bomb efforts since 1942.

If we had attacked Russia, Europe would most likely have sided with us.

How could they if they were dead?

At that time China loved us.

In 4 years time China would become communist. I highly doubt Mao loved Americans and their capitalism.

Theres more in the Middle East, and Alaska

Our allies owned the Middle East, we couldn't invade them. Alaska's oil reserves are still there untapped and will remain there until someone overturns Roosevelt's national reserve laws.

Who was stationed there

The Soviet Union was going to invade Japan until the US dropped the bomb so there must have been a lot of soldiers stationed there.

1 point

First of all Patton was no Hannibal.

Second Russia has only been successfully invaded once.

Third Russia would have developed an a-bomb before we ever totally conquered them if we could.

Fourth we would have had no allies as Russia could have destroyed them with their millions stationed in Europe.

Fifth China would have aided Russia, and theoretically they could amass a larger army.

Sixth Russia has a lot of oil and the American economy cannot function without it.

Seventh our base closest to Russia was Japan, who would've been wiped out by Siberian forces, and the Japanese militarists.

But in a laissez-faire economy competition can arise. Therefore Wal mart would have to slash prices to nip them in the bud, therefore their prices would drop.

Well there hasn't been a libertarian country in years. How would you know if they were flawed. I'd rather have freedom over serfdom anyday.

If Patton who was relieved of service already was allowed to invade Russia, whose army outnumbered the West's by 2:1, whose country had only been conquered once in its entire history by a nonrussian, and who pretty much could strangle all of Europe at that time, bad things would have happened.

In my opinion China is really a fascist country and not a communist country because they have economic freedoms but no political freedoms.
