Ironman34698's Waterfall RSS

This personal waterfall shows you all of Ironman34698's arguments, looking across every debate.

I believe our laws reflect what society defines as evil. if evil were subjective, how is it that there are things in this world that nearly everyone considers evil. as far as I know, every country in the world considers murder evil and punishable by law. illegally invading a country is considered 'evil' and part of international law. most governments of the world have unified to define what is acceptable in the world, and what is not. stealing to feed yourself may be subjective, but according to the law it is not.

gay people are like anybody else. if you don't feel comfortable being around somebody, there's no law written in the books that says you have to hang out with them. just don't think all gay people are alike. not all are flamboyant.

the assertion that they cannot help it or control it has been scientifically disproved. the Xq28 chromosome, like any gene, cannot completely control one's behavior. it can only affect it. it you can make one more likely to behave in a certain manner,such as affecting one's mood. however, genes cannot make someone gay, alcoholic or abusive.

they all think they're emperors. perhaps I am just the cynical one, perhaps the realistic one. Bush was no different. power gets to peoples heads. the President of the United States is arguably the most powerful man in the world. so we see.

What about the possibility that science can prove both? Both sides seem to have some evidence that can be proven scientifically.

I have a friend of mine from work who told me the very same thing.

So in essence what you are saying is that science proves both of them?

Would I act on the privilege of being able to kill someone. Well, I personally think that is what sets us apart from people like ISIS. we actually have a conscience, and I don't think I could live with my conscience on something like this, unless it was self defense. Unless you are a person who has experienced death, it is impossible to know how much it really does hurt when someone you know or love has died. Unless I or someone else was in danger I couldn't do it. Back in the day groups like the baldknobbers used to have free license to kill. they were vigilantes. It was quick, swift justice without the court system. it was all good until the baldknobbers started to just kill people at random, and for minor offenses. That would be the fatal flaw with that system.

No, I am not for obamacare, nor did I sign up for it. One thing Mr Gruber must realize, though, is that many of the bills that are passed in Congress are not even fully understood by the congressman who are passing them ( thanks to earmarks). how much less, then, does the American public know about them? The American public gets what they are fed through the media. And then, a great deal of it is passed by word of mouth. The American public does not have surveillance on our politicians, so how else are they supposed to know everything there is to know? you could say that they should pick better media sources. So where do they go? Writers from any media source will have some sort of bias, for the most part. I have even seen biased opinions from very notable sources, such as the WSJ. Also, most sites on the web are either far right or far left.Food for thought.

Oh yes. it's the memories that can help you to get through it, even though the memories still hurt. I feel for seniors. I really do. before my grandma passed away, I made sure and spent all the time that I could with her, as well as my wife. my suggestion to anyone who has a family member or loved one dying: spend every moment that you can with them. when they actually do pass away, you will have no regrets (hopefully). at the very least it can help you know that in the end you were there for them.

Thanks! Really enjoying it. I love to debate topics, so when I found this one it was very interesting to me. Especially in light of the fact that you can create your own debates. Really cool site.

It seems to be a non partisan report and I agree. Business seems to be doing well in my area too

Sorry. I forgot for a few minutes we are on a debate site, and not "dear Abby". It sounded kind of lame, huh?

I am laughing my f------ ass off!!!! Holy crap!!! Wow. That was probably the funniest thing I've seen you post on here, man. Lmfao

Absolutely yes. It is foolish to trust someone who is untrustworthy. Forgiveness is simply letting go of the anger toward that person ( and saving yourself a lot of stress). That doesn't mean you have to be buddy buddy with them so they can burn you again.

For those who do not know, GDP measures the national income + output of a nation's economy. In basic terms it compares what people earn compared to what they spent. It is an efficient way to gauge the size and health of an economy.

If you were to ask that after my divorce, I would have said hell yes. Should there be counseling from a weird lady wearing a strange rag on her head with a crystal ball? Hell yes. But in general, not really ( unless there are financial reasons involved). Just long enough to really get to know how they really are. If you're upfront and real at the start instead of phony, you can get a real idea of how compatible you are with that person, and if they're really the one for you. Yes, I've been divorced but since then had a successful marriage. You never really get to know everything about somebody until after you're married. Trust me on that one. That's Dr. Steve's advice for the day. I feel a bit mother Theresa-ish (LMAO). Did my daily good deed. Hope that helps.

Yes, politics are important. However, being fanatical for one side over the other, I believe, is pointless. Neither one seems to be doing what is best for this country. Republicans and democrats alike serve the interests of the lobbyists and those with big money. Greed has killed our political system.

Its worked for us against Russia! I agree with you. The USA has employed that very strategy.

Excellent points on not only the Iraq war ( which I was against) and obama care ( which I am also against). These last two presidents are rated the worst ever in several polls. whether or not that's true, who knows? Do you think both parties would be served well to simply avoid these two names? Do you think they will?

I believe there are many factors that go into these things. While young teenage minds are not fully developed, their capacity to reason is also underdeveloped. Video games may numb a young person's senses to death, but nothing more. Family dysfunction and mental disorders would play a far larger role in causing these catastrophes.

Why not? Why not make stricter laws for people receiving government benefits. Do people realize that if more than 50% of the country begins receiving welfare from the government, our system will collapse. Look that was happened in Greece. 60% of the country was receiving welfare-it's simple math. more money coming out of the government than is going into it. what is the latest number? something like 40 percent of Americans receiving some sort of government assistance? We are close to the threshold.

No way. unnecessary, total overkill and more waste of US tax dollars. We have a militarized police, the world's most powerful military and the world's most powerful intelligence and surveillance entity (NSA). Why on earth do we need 30,000 (the number congress voted for) drones flying over our heads? Our transition to a police state is becoming complete. Is it too late to move to Canada?

Do you think he realizes that or do you think he did it out of spite? Maybe he's just trying to cause a fight, or wait to post the correct response tonight?
