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.
What's "women can shit" suppose to mean? What do you have against women? What are you going to do now? Insult me because I'm a woman? If you do you better watch your back then. I will take no shit from any man who insults me.
Now not having seen the movie myself, having simply googled "miracle" skiped the first link as that refered to "a miracle" and checked the next two links all I can assume is that although some of the events may have been embellished for the sake of entertainment the general outcome was that the USA did indeed win at ice hockey in the 1980s winter olympics beating the much favoured Soviet Union.
I DO!!!reason is that a miracle is only something which is beside the ordinary and a possibility is that later on science might prove it that it can happen than its something ordinary but for the time the miracle happened its a MIRACLE!!!
Miracle what? Miracle Whip? Or do you mean miracleS? No I do not believe in miracles. We make our own lives, good or bad. I believe that there are many outcomes of life and some seem pretty surprising, and may seem like "miracles." If there were truly miracles (I assume you mean from God) then God isn't fair, as there are many who deserve miracles and who do not receive them.
I find it funny how people in first world countries like the United States and other european nations can pray to get promotions at their jobs, or that their children excel in school and for some reason god will grant them their prayers and people will view it as a miracle from god.
But when a kid in africa is starving to death, and prays for food and water each and every day, god will not answer and grant this child his miracle. Most Africans are christians or muslims, so they believe in god.
God is too busy giving us western countries our promotions and pay raises, he doesn't have time to grant the starving children in africa the miracle of food and clean water.
Is there anything we need to know in order to see miracles happen in our lives? We hear about miracles happening all the time. Why have they not yet happened in our lives? Here are some guidelines from Mark 6:35-44 that may help you: "By this time it was late in the day, so his disciples came to him. 'This is a remote place,' they said, 'and it's already very late. Send the people away so they can go to the surrounding countryside and villages and buy themselves something to eat.' But he answered, 'You give them something to eat.' They said to him, 'That would take eight months of a man's wages! Are we to go and spend that much on bread and give it to them to eat?' 'How many loaves do you have?' he asked. 'Go and see.' When they found out, they said, 'Five-and two fish.' Then Jesus directed them to have all the people sit down in groups on the green grass. So they sat down in groups of hundreds and fifties. Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves. Then he gave them to his disciples to set before the people. He also divided the two fish among them all. They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces of bread and fish. The number of the men who had eaten was five thousand."
I do no believe in miracles because nothing good ever happens to me so why should I believe in miracles and I want no shit about why I should. I don't mind if you put it in a kind why but if you get all shitty with I hope you like not sitting for the rest of your life.
What about the fact that you're alive, that you exist.
What about that you have money to buy a computer, which I bet you have, since you have to use either a computer or some kind of phone to be on CD.
Can you walk, can you talk ?
You can write so I bet you can read too ?
Can you see, can you hear ?
I don't think miracles have to be only good, it can just be general stuff we see in our daily life. Like friends and family.
There are millions of deadly diseases. Isn't it a miracle you haven't got any and haven't died from it yet? thousands of thousand people die everday, isn't it amazing you aren't dead yet?
I know you didn't want people to tell you 'shit' - but when you post an argument like that, then you should just learn that people will comment on it. If you don't want disputes, don't write an argument.
Life is a painful nightmare of suffering and futility.
It is not a miracle that I am still alive, for I know I will die, as all people do.
Perhaps I will die slowly of brutal goring or a physical accident, filling my last moments with mind breaking pain, or perhaps I will die of disease, rotting slowly from within.
Perhaps I will be shot to death, experiencing the greatest fear imaginable, or maybe I will just be old and forget everyone and everything, slowly wasting away until I am no more.
Soon we will all die, and that "miracle" of life will stop.
-
The greatest curse is life, for life is suffering. The only miracle is finally dying, hopefully painlessly.
From the brutal work of trying to survive to simply being born less fortunate, most people live a life of agony and suffering, showing hope for a few brief moments before being crushed again, suffocating you with the mindless futility of living a doomed and painful life.
-
There is no worse thing to be than alive. Even miracles seen on the news are nothing more than praising death.
A plane crashes, and a single child survives, protected by the soft corpse of her mother as the plane impacts.
Now an orphan, and requiring surgery, perhaps crippling her for life physically, and most certainly mentally, a miracle has occurred.
Life is a nightmare from hell, the most horrific and diseased, wretched and absolutely corrupted experience that can be imagined.
Miracles do not exist, nor does hope.

(I am only playing devil's advocate. Life isn't that bad. =D)

You're life hasn't ended yet. You can walk outside and you have a chance of dying - but you haven't. No plane has landed on you, you haven't been run over by a car (you might have, but you didn't die)
There is a big risk that this will happen everyday, but so far for you, it hasn't.
It is not a miracle that you will die, or any other person for that matter. But it is a miracle that you're still alive considering how many death threats you receive everyday.
Just by sitting home watching TV .. imagine what could happen ? Your house could get on fire, you could be unable to escape.
Your TV could explode or something.
It's also a miracle for me, that all my friend&family;are alive. It's amazing that no one of my loved ones has died today.
And even so if I haven't made you think that life is a miracle .. then think about our universe. It is in FACT a miracle that the universe was ever created.
Especially for atheists. I mean, for religious people it isn't so miraculous because there was a God and stuff.
But for Atheists there was .. practically nothing. You could say there was big bang but isn't that a miracle that big bang happened if it happened?
Isn't it miraculous that a tree pops up .. suddenly. It's amazing that if you combine sun, water and earth you can get a million types of plants and trees.
It's amazing and miraculous to know, that if we were missing something on this planet, we would never exist.
Like photosynthesis, O2, clouds or protein. Without those and MANY many other stuff, there would be no life on earth.
Isn't it a miracle that just because we have sugar we have life ? Isn't it amazing to think, that without sugar, we would never be ?
It's horrible. Like you said, I could die at any moment for any reason.
I live life in morbid fear, waiting for the day when I step outside and DO get hit by a car, fly out the window and have my legs run over, sticking my bloody stumps to the ground like a squashed insect, leaving me to flail and struggle until I finally die.
That could happen ANY moment.
The very fact the universe exists at all and can support life is the greatest travesty and disaster possible.
All life is a disaster. Pain, misery, disease, starvation and death, all compounded by the blood thirstiness of all animals, including humanity.
Wow...that was so emo.. I agree and understand your position as "glass half empty" I see it as we got this 1 in 9999trillion chance to not only have this galaxy and planet, but that I have this LIFE. yes, there is danger. Yes we all eventually die. But I see life as incredible luck and an amazing experience. I get to smell, see, learn, and do all these incredible things for about 65-75 more years if I play my cards right.
Why would you want to extend your life more than 30 years?
Holy crap, are you mental now too, as all others seem to be? Life is poison, time is pain, and every second that I exist, the closer I become to dying.
Life is purest misery, a clock waiting to break down.
It keeps not time, but pain and suffering. The wait of pain is broken up not by content happiness, but only with brain shattering feelings of hope, soon to be smashed into infinite pieces, jagged with the dimensions of agony and memories of laughter never to come again.
Why do we live? It is not a miracle. It is a curse.
1) I hate life and there is no point in living anymore.
2) I'm 14 and I'm on my iPod touch I got for Christmas and no my parent did not by it for me. And yes I believe in Santa so shut the fuck up if you are going to make fun of mex
3) I can walk. How do you think I get to school?
4) yes I can talk but I don't talk much because I'm an anti-social person and I'm not against religions of you are thinking that anti-social means that. Look it up on google and read the second definition. That's how I go by anti-social.
5) I wouldn't be typing if I couldn't read or write stupid!
6) are you making fun of me because I wear glasses?
7) of course I can hear. I don't having hearing aids stupid. I wouldn't be going to a school that teachers talk would I?
8) I don't wan people getting shitty with me because I posted something that I don't believe in.
I hate life and there is no point in living anymore.
You're still living so there got to be some reason you are.
I can walk. How do you think I get to school?
Your ability to walk is a miracle to me.
yes I can talk but I don't talk much because I'm an anti-social person and I'm not against religions of you are thinking that anti-social means that. Look it up on google and read the second definition. That's how I go by anti-social.
How much or less you talk doesn't matter to me, you can talk - miracle.
But who thinks anti-social is atheism ? What people do you talk with ? of course I know what anti-social means, I'm not 5 years old.
I wouldn't be typing if I couldn't read or write stupid!
Miracle!!!
are you making fun of me because I wear glasses?
No ? How should I know if you wore glasses?
of course I can hear. I don't having hearing aids stupid. I wouldn't be going to a school that teachers talk would I?
Why is that so surprising that you can hear ? For your information, lots of deaf people go to school and get education. What's wrong with not hearing, and why do you take it for granted that you do?
You talk like its obvious that you can hear - it's not.
I don't wan people getting shitty with me because I posted something that I don't believe in.
I wasn't 'shitty' with you. When people disagree with you, it's not because they hate you or think you're stupid. Simply they disagree with you - that's life darling.
I'm 14
Thank you! This explains so much.
This explains you lack of matureness, common sense, logic and reality. I will no longer bother you hun'.
I came here to debate with people, not little children. So you will not here a thing from me from now on sweetie <3
I am not a child! Please don't not call me darling or hun'. I do not like. In fact I can sometimes be wise and mature but nobody knows because nobody eer wants to hang out with me because I'm the lamest person in the world!
I am no good at fun. I drive everybody away because I want to talk scientific. I don't have anything interesting going on in my life and I wish people would stop saying stop feeling bad for your self and make some changes. How can I? I spend most of my time in a library! Nobody wants to hang out with an anti-social freak who spends most of her time in a library!
How am I suppose to get people to respect me when they push me down all the time and make fun of me? I'm too shy to stand up for myself. I don't dare to tell anybody anything because I'm afraid of being hurt even more. I'm that kind of person who doesn't do anything to protect themselves. Im that lame of a person. If I'm gone nobody will care let alone even notice that I'm gone. I'm like invisible ink to everybody around unless people are picking on me.
Then ignore people. Don't do as they say, just ignore them completely.
Don't waste your time with false friends and deceivers. Just live your life.
Those who want to take advantage of you will be no more.
Don't worry about now. Just get through school and learn as much as you can, and when you're 18, BAM, you'll be a genius and you'll be respected for that.
I bet you're awesome to hang out with. But you aren't mature, I've read your arguments, and you are just like a fourteen year old should be - immature.
Fourteen year old girl aren't immature, so don't think you're an exception.
Don't be so hard on your self, log off this lame website. This is for nerds who have nothing better to do.
I suggest you go out and make some friends, you will feel better.
Sorry I don't have any friends because nobody wants to hang out with a geek! Sorry if nobody wants to hang out with me because I'm the lamet person in the world! Sorry if I cant make any friends! Sorry if I can't do anything! Sorry if I was ever born!
You just told me you were mature - do you really think this is what a mature person would say ? seriously.
OH my god I'm so lame, ugly and I have no friends.
You know what, instead of whining about it, why don't you do something about it ? Friends don't come knocking on your door, you have to make them first. Make your friends, if the coolest girl/guy in school doesn't want to hang out with you, then ask a less cool person.
There are plenty other people that feel the same way you do, so go make friends with them.
What about guys? I've seen like only one guy at my school who's very matured. He's only 14 and I know that because he sometimes talks to me. All the other guys at my school are morons and idiots and not very matured.
Almost anybody can do these things how are these miracles. I hate my life because I don't have a reason to live. What's the point? I'm the anti-social freak in the back of class. Unless you have a good reason for me to live then I have no point and would love to kill myself before I'm 15
It is a discovery once you realize gods are delusions and all life is just a chemical reaction and nothing more.
Without purpose, and with infinite time after you die, all that you do will be forgotten by yourself after death, and by all humanity after humanity is no more.

However, that only means what's above. Clearly you are alive and thus have the ability to live life how you desire.
There is no reason to NOT live, for you die anyways. Why not do something amazing?
Only you have the ability to live your own life, so I can't give you a reason, but you can.
Why should you live? Screw society's goals. What do you want to do? What can you do?
Science allows for advanced technology, art allows for your creativity to be shown, philosophy can help you figure out the mysteries of life and just being with friends on the internet can help pass time.
You can do all sorts of things if you want to. Or you can just die.
Death happens anyways though, so why not have some fun?
Science and math are my best subjects. I'm not stupid but I am obedient. I do what people say without saying anything back to them. I'm not good at typing with all my fingers. I'm on my iPod touch typing with two thumbs.
I can barely work a MacBook. That's how bad I am at computers. I'm really really really that bad. I have the most issues with them and I guess that is why most of the teachers this year get annoyed with me. This is the first year middle schoolers have lap tips so basically everybody but me is a natural at it.
Sorry if I prefer to use books over dumb laptops! You know what? Some people aren't good at using laptops either! My dad wasn't! And I don't do online shopping because I really don't trust online shops!
The only mental one is my sister. I can't believe she even got into preschool but yet also got to skip it because "she was too smart". I use exclamation points to show my points not to show anger. Obliviously you don't know what an exclamation point means.
And you can't tell me what to do because you can't make me. I can be on any website I want. What are you going to do about that now? I'm crazy not mental. There are big differences between those two.
Sorry I didn't think for basically all my arguments. I guess I'm a stupid dumb blonde who should have never been born. Maybe I should just go die in a ditch then because I didn't think at all.
You know what? A big person fights and a bigger person walks away. You don't have to reply to me. This is the last reply you will ever get from me. Now is who is the more mature one now? Not you because I walked away from this fight so I'm the bigger person now.
If you don't think for all of your arguments, then the logical thing to do would be to start thinking for all your arguments....right?
Instead, you just whine about being a dumb blond that should have never been born. Stop pitying yourself. It's pointless and won't help.
The way to stop being dumb is to go learn things, oh and actually thinking before posting an argument would help too. People who don't think don't appear very intelligent. Therefore, you're causing your own problems by intentionally not thinking.
Wow I can't believe some people these days. I can believe whatever I want to believe and you can't change a thing about that. If I believe I am a dumb blonde then I believe I am a dumb blonde. My grades do say other wise that I'm not really dumb but in fact I am some what intelligent. If I shall believe that i am dumb then I shall believe that but nobody can change a fuck about that. If people can't handle me being depressed and pitying myself for things then they shouldn't even talk to me. If I want to be sad and depressed then I shall be sad and depressed no person can make feel what a person should. Each person in this world has a right to feel what they feel and I shall feel what I wan to feel! Nobody can change that fact! I have a right to feel what I want to feel! I have a right to believe and follow my own things that I believe and nobody can change that. I shall feel what I want to feel and I shall do what I want to do and I shall believe what I want to believe. The way you guys are putting things is like how a Christian shouldn't be a Christian.
Yeah but hun - this is a site where people want to debate about stuf.
Not complaining about themselves. I think the site you're looking for might be twitter or some kind of blog. Because this really isn't what you're looking for.
Why use a debating site for your personal story or whatever you're trying to tell us, when there are real sites for that ?
I mean .. there are blogs. You could really use a blog.
What I am trying to tell you is, that this is a site, where people don't give fucks about how many friends you have in school, how ugly or fat you are, and we don't care about whether you are social or not. So clearly this isn't a site for you, so go pick another one.
Just becaus I do what hey say doesn't mean I let them control my life well if I had one. Usually if I do something someone tells me to do I don't get hurt for the rest of the day. That's why I do everything everybody tells me to do.
1) I hate life and there is no point in living anymore.
Then go away.
2) I'm 14 and I'm on my iPod touch I got for Christmas and no my parent did not by it for me. And yes I believe in Santa so shut the fuck up if you are going to make fun of mex
You believe in Santa? That explains a lot then.
3) I can walk. How do you think I get to school?
Crawl
4) yes I can talk but I don't talk much because I'm an anti-social person and I'm not against religions of you are thinking that anti-social means that. Look it up on google and read the second definition. That's how I go by anti-social.
Then go away.
5) I wouldn't be typing if I couldn't read or write stupid!
Earlier you said "mex", clearly you cannot. My point is proven.
6) are you making fun of me because I wear glasses?
No, I'm making fun of you for being an idiot.
7) of course I can hear. I don't having hearing aids stupid. I wouldn't be going to a school that teachers talk would I?
That makes no sense.
8) I don't wan people getting shitty with me because I posted something that I don't believe in.
Wow! Like I care what you have to say to me. I have the freedom of speech you know and just because you do too doesn't mean you can tell me what to do. Jut because I misspelled one word doesn't mean anything. It was one word. It doesn't prove that I'm an idiot and can not spell. You need to grow up to the fact that everybody makes mistakes. I may be immature but at least I'm mature when it comes that fact that everybody makes mistakes.
Miracles lies in oneself. you can define a miracle as an opportunity and Opportunity in created by oneself.
