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.
Nope everything costs money. I pay around 400 a month for my public health care. If I couldn't then the state would pay it for me. I will never ever die because I lack money nor will any of my loved ones. I have no idea how it must be to be terminally ill and have to worry about whether you can afford treatment. What a hellhole - literally - its almost as bad as suffering can get.
I mean, as far as mother nature is concerned (as all good environmentalists should be also)...
I'm tired, I was going to write about how its our evolutionary duty to look after ourselves first, animals second, but, I cba to structure it properly, you can work it out for yourselves. I don't buy the "we're intelligent enough to be responsible for the planet" argument either, the planet and life is way older than us, and if we fuck it up it'll fix itself eventually. if you wanna save the planet, do it for humans, not birbs. Although birbs are cute too so, do it for them :)
It's simple inductive logic. Can anybody be as stupid as nom and use his idiotic lingo? Maybe one person. Can two people be as stupid as Nom and use his idiotic lingo? Bzzzzzzzt! Not a chance in hell.
You hypocrite! You support killing viable unborn babies for any reason up to birth when you vote for these radical Democrats, and then have the nerve to preach to ANYONE about suffering?
Get off debate sites. You constantly embarrass yourself.
Are you serious? That's what abortion is all about, "killing" the unborn baby. The fetus is inside of the womb, making it not born yet, but it's still alive and developing. Go do some research.
Am I serious that things cannot die before they have been born?
Hmm, I guess you are serious then...
Are you autistic?
Nope.
Obviously you are so reprehensibly stupid that you do not understand what cause and effect is.
Obviously you haven't done any research, let alone have any common sense. Let me lay it out for you. A fetus is a living human being inside of the mother's womb. During its life inside the womb, it is developing into a baby. While it's developing, it is gaining nutrients from the mother, developing a beating heart, forming brain activity, etc. When abortion happens, it aborts or "kills" the fetus inside the womb. You can't "kill" something that is not already alive.
Just organise your country a bit better, stop speding so much of peoples taxes on building nuclear weapons, improve your welfare system a bit more. Not saying Britains perfect. No where near but look at our NHS. Its amazing. and here in wales you can even get free prescribed medicine from the Pharmacy
NO ONE takes 3/4 of your paycheck for health care! They take what you pay in for SS & Medicare so that your Mom and Dad, at LEAST can have enough health care to (hopefully) save their home if they get seriously ill. It works "fairly well", in that it's kept MANY out of poverty for MANY years. What it HASN'T done is keep OUR health care from being THEE most expensive in the WORLD, among industrialized countries! THAT'S because it's left to the capitalists to charge "whatever the market will bear"! If you are losing 3/4 of your paycheck to the government, it's because you're not using the capitalist's tax loopholes well! The ones that make everything ELSE more expensive!
EVERY "socialistic" health care system in the world is cheaper than ours, AND we, last I checked, were only 37th best, along with 55th MOST EXPENSIVE! Lose Medicare, put it all in the hands of the capitalists that MAKE it more expensive, have an accident OR get ill, seriously, give your home and everything else to OTHER capitalist's, and you'll wish you had that other 1/4 BACK! You'll WISH you HAD spent that 3/4!

GRANDPAW what kind of rant is the above ?
You don't know much Grandpaw because you are programmed to be STUPID !
Four of the six children airlifted from Guatemala for treatment in Galveston after being severely burned during the eruption of a volcano are in critical condition, a hospital spokesman said on Monday.
A statement released by Shriners' Hospital for Children in Galveston updated the condition of the six children admitted last week after the Volcan de Fuego eruption on June 3. Four of the six children are in critical condition, while two are in good condition.
"The families of these children and the staff of Shriners Hospitals for Children greatly appreciate the overwhelming outpouring of love and concern from the public," said Mel Bower, chief communications and marketing officer for the hospital, in a statement. "We ask, however, that no visitors come to the hospital as the focus remains on the intense care, treatment and recovery of these children."
Grandpaw these children should have been flown to a Socialist Country for the healthcare they needed !
I agree.... when these corrupt liars talk about free College, free healthcare, free, free, free, they are as deceptive as it comes.
Socialist's hate the working man. They use him to buy votes from those who think they are entitled to other's money.
You will notice how these Left wing loonies constantly use catastrophic life threatening examples when trying to push their Socialist healthcare plans.
NO ONE IS DISPUTING GIVING LIFE SAVING MEDICAL TREATMENT FOR SOMEONE IN NEED OF IT. But they will use these scare tactics in the same way they use Life of Mother abortions to justify their radical support of No Restriction abortions of viable babies for any reason up to birth.
The GOP and thinking Americans understand that Healthcare costs too much to force the working man to cover every low income person's common cold!
It's funny how these low income people can always find money for booze, cigarettes, cell phones, casinos, etc. etc. but for their health? Nah, they just can't afford to pay anything for such important things as their health.
These low end voters are the Democrat's Party's base! You know a person by who their friends are.
Pfft, every side and each outlet and individual are guilty of producing propaganda. Which side is more susceptible to it, and which produces more.. Now, that's not for me to answer ;)
Tbh I did get bored with some of the debates on here... Especially when you prove someone wrong and they're too proud to admit it, just makes it a waste of time :')
I happen to agree. Though I think the right wing is (traditionally at least, when the world isn't on it;s head!) far more aggressive in its approach, though usually more honest about it. Modern folk are making words like "liberal" "left wing" "feminist" etc bad words... I guess it's their turn? xD
Fifty years ago in America, Liberal and Left wing were words used to describe politicians who differed on tax brackets for income groups.
Today the words Liberal and Left wing describe politicians who want activist Justices transforming our Constitution. They want it to be called a living document whereby the notion of more power to the people is transformed to more power to a Socialist Government.
Can you imagine any person wanting more power given to these corrupt power hungry politicians today?
This is why Republicans believe in smaller Government. Government bankrupts everything it touches.

Hello From:
In 1968, the nation was TORN apart.. Right wingers wanted to continue the war in Vietnam. And, left wingers were getting BEATEN in the streets by the cops..
I had no problem with people peacefully protesting the war in Vietnam. That was something I could actually respect because the war in Vietnam was never meant to be won.
I would welcome those days once more whereby Liberals were not blatant Socialists trying to transform America.

How do you get sooo much wrong??
SUPER STUPID which Demorat President led America into war with Vietnam ???
As to getting things WRONG you claim to be a VET there SUPER STUPID !
Nahhhh… Here's how the math works.. It's not too difficult..
When you take the TOTAL amount we, as a nation, spend on healthcare, and SUBTRACT the part the insurance industry takes, we'd have enough left over to pay for EVERYBODY'S health care, plus a few billion to buy some aircraft carriers..
Look. As a staunch capitalist I'd LOVE to keep the insurance INDUSTRY in tact.. But, they've outlived their usefulness.. What do they DO, by the way, except deny coverage and pay your bills?? If EVERYTHING was covered, we won't NEED anybody to deny coverage.. We'll need somebody to write checks, and Medicare does that pretty good..
I run a company.. My employees don't depend on ME for their employment.. I depend on THEM for my employment.. They don't work for me.. I work for them..
I know you don't understand this.. Ain't nothing I can do about that.
