They should build something more productive to society. They should re-build the World Trade Centers, or at least build something as beneficial as them. I don't care if it's a Mosque, a Church, a Movie Theater, a supermarket, whatever. They should build something worthwhile.

Every side has people that use name calling. I know for a fact that there are Liberals that use name calling, and I know for a fact that there are liberals that don't use name calling (just like there are conservatives that do the exact same)

No. It's absolute truth that a triangle drawn on a 2D plane will have 180 degrees. It's true that the ratio of the diameter to the circumference of a circle is pi. It's true that the integral of velocity with respect to time represents position.

That is "absolute truth." We put restrictions on those statements so that they will be absolute truth. I don't see how you can say that it's not absolute truth that a triangle on a 2D plane will have 180 degrees just because it doesn't apply to every other case (meaning cases that that law doesn't apply to).

Wow, it's insane how obvious of a troll you are. Guys, please, stop posting on his arguments. Don't feed the troll!

Impossible to confirm the age of the user. Any measures that would be taken to confirm the age would just be irritating at best.

Because He doesn't exist. It's as simple as that for atheists.

I know I shouldn't feed the troll, but I'll bite.

Most of your argument is based around the "Clockmaker" argument. Basically, you're arguing that because the universe is so complex, some sentient being had to create it (ergo the "Clockmaker"). Know what else is complex? A Kangaroo. How do kangaroos come about? Two kangaroos have sex. So, using your logic, the complexity of the universe is evidence for a mommy and a daddy universe having sex.

If you want to stereotype, then don't let anyone in the Special Forces! Most men are not able to even almost get into the Special Forces

"The Amazing Race, as well. They were in India - traffic lines virtually blocked out the sun!"

The amazing race?! What an excellent source!

"China is already developing this condition of leadership."

Ah, and so that means that india has not chance of beating them to it.

What do plans matter? They matter a lot! I mean, maybe you've never had any hopes or dreams other than alienating people and acting like a douche on some low-traffic debating website, but most people find that fulfilling dreams and having plans makes life worth living (or at least better).

To quote your own source: "Other findings were that those in Abstinence programs were slightly more informed about and less likely to see condoms as protective against sexually transmitted diseases" So, according to your source, Abstinence programs are harmful.

I'm not saying that a teenage mom is bad in and of itself, I'm saying that people should be taught methods of contraception so that they are well-informed enough to make the decision of whether or not they want to be a teenage mom.

Teenage pregnancy is bad because it destroys whatever plans you had before you became pregnant. You can get pregnant after you complete highschool, or complete college, or do whatever you want when you're young. But once you crap that kid out, your previous life is destroyed, and whatever hopes and dreams you had beforehand die with it. That's not to say the teenage mom isn't happy, I'm sure she is, but she could get that same happiness after she had completed all those other hopes and dreams if she had used contraception methods.

People will get AIDS how ever their taught, so we should just not care about teaching them in schools? Good point! You know... people are gonna die eventually, so why not just make murder legal? See the flaw in that logic?

Maybe, instead of saying "Blah, they'll just have sex without condoms anyway!", we should promote the usage of condoms!

Also, where are you getting your numbers? Only 27%? I find that hard to believe.

First off, right after saying "How exactly does it harm people," you concede that it helps to spread AIDS and other STDs. If you don't consider that harmful, I don't know what you do consider to be harmful.

Do some research. Studies show that people that do abstinence only sex-ed are 10% less likely to use a condom when having sex. It also attaches a social stigma to sex.

There's a definite correlation between our high rate of abstinence only sex-ed and the fact that we're the #1 first world country in terms of teenage pregnancy.

It's because we live in a world dominated by men. There are sports where women are as good as, if not better than, the men. In shooting, women are naturally better than men. Shorter torsos compared to total body height, more control over their bodies, better at keeping focused, the list goes on. Just look at the 2008 summer olympics results. I shot 50m .22 caliber competitive riflery for my military school in virginia, and I'm a certified Riflery instructor by the Civilian Marksmanship Program, I know what I'm talking about.

Which I replied to... Look at my original response. Respond to those instead of implying that I ignored your other arguments.

I'm saying it'd be irresponsible for the catholic church to not give their kids proper sex education. Like I said before, people are entitled to their own beliefs up until the point that it begins harming other people.

Also, this is not about the viability of teaching sex-ed properly, it's "Should gov't funded blah blah blah..."

I'm sorry, you posted other scenarios where we would need more women?

1 point

That is irrelevant to the situation! We're fine, we have 300 million citizens in this country.

That's the point, Abstinence only education doesn't work. One is entitled to their own beliefs up until the point that it begins harming people. Something as obviously harmful as higher rates of teenage pregnancy (the direct result of abstinence only sex education) is a problem.

I'm not talking about teaching the exact same curricula. I'm saying that when it comes to something as important as sex ed, they should be held to a high standard.

That's cute that all of your arguments are insulting other people. My parents taught me to respect everyone around me. Clearly your parents haven't gotten to that yet. If I can be of any more help in your upbringing, Messenger, Vanguard of Hypocrisy, just let me know!

They should be bound by the same restrictions, or at least held up to the same standards! I go to a Christian school right now, and the only "sex-ed" that is being taught is abstinence! This is a legitimate problem, and one that needs to be fixed.

1) Special forces involves a number of different branches. While it is true that in popular culture media, special forces is shown as being simply a group of well trained soldiers, their jobs go far beyond that. One of the most important things that special forces do is to go behind enemy lines, support resistance forces, train native peoples, etc. When that group is presented as a group of guys with guns, that can be a very imposing, threatening image. However, if women are involved, there is the aspect of caring that comes natural with the image of a woman.

Not only that, but there are situations where the more elite of the special forces groups must blend in with the native peoples in order to complete their mission. The groups that do this sort of thing (SEALs, Delta Force) are part of the special forces (Delta doesn't technically exist, but for all intents and purposes, it's part of the special forces). Adding women to the equation gives much more flexibility.

2) But the point is that population isn't a concern right now, so expendability is not a deciding factor.

The problem is that there are exceptions to the stereotype, and those exceptions should be allowed to attempt to join.
