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.
Holy hellfire. This Dana garbage was going on from when I last came here almost a third of a year ago. What the hell did she do? Why is she worth the entire forum circlejerking about her? I did a debate on whether consensual pedophilia is wrong, and I didn't get this much hate. What'd she do?
I don't really think this is a good idea guys. To be honest I don't think she should be left out. If one of you guys were the ones that got left out you would probably feel bad as well .
Eh. I don't really care either way. As bad as I can get I at least can try to respect the viewpoints of others, despite differences. Unless the other person is a total bastard/bitch/whatever, then I could care less what they say.
I feel as if that would be a wrong thing to do. Excluding her from debates seems mean. As if nobody wants her here. I dont want her to feel abandoned or anything. Maybe she just attention or is trying to convey something.
I was pointing out that you are way too nice to people and in being consistent with your personality, you have to be nice to every one. Dana included. (I'm just stating that your good person)
I beg to differ with you, because she brought this on all by herself. She has blocked me and numerous other people just for stating an opinion different than hers. The major problem with this is not that she banned us, but she responds to the argument and then bans the person so they cannot respond back.
(Fictional example):
Random debater "Republicans are better than liberals, because .............."
She bans me from every debate of hers, simply because I always have a differing viewpoint from her and she can't accept that I don't accept her viewpoint. Then she whines that I'm shoving my beliefs down her throat when she's the one doing that.
So whether it's fair or not, block the bitch. She'll just do the same thing to others when she's bored with me.
Honestly, I kind of abandoned the whole 'right and wrong' mentality a while ago. The entire world's fucked up, so what's the point besides preserving a stagnant society that refuses to see change at any cost.
So yeah. I'm getting preachy, so that's the end of that.
I don't remember you ever liking me. And even if you did, I'm not forgiving you for past offenses you have yet to sincerely apologize for and admit 100% fault for.
So I can't say I care one way or the other. See ya.
She may be a little crazy, but banning her from every debate would just make matters worse in the end. It is important to demonstrate tolerance through our own actions in the hope that she will learn through them.
There is a difference between respect and tolerance. Respect does have to be earned, but tolerance is a viture that we must practice ourselfs. Just because we may not agree with someone does not mean we should try to mute them.

She's not blocked.... it was a joke. She started pre-blocking me from her debates so I did the same to her and she got all bent out of shape about it and tried to start some silly Challenge Debate with me. LOL
Oh damn! You were banned! Nows my chance to leave you multiple responses that you can't reply to.
Ummm... if you don't pity yourself, then you want pity from others. And the "judge not lest you be judged" shit is getting really old. Do you have any other phrases?
Oh, nevermind. I forgot that you can't respond. LOL!
Oh, Dana. You already know that it is human nature to judge. This is a literal fact of the human psyche; judging is what helps human survive; to make choices to survive, or not.
You tried to claim you were the most liberal person on the site and a centrist on the SAME debate... I pointed out how utterly stupid that is and you got your panties in a bunch... besides, all this drama directed your way? It's EXACTLY what you live for and everyone knows it.
Who am I ganging up on exactly? And who am I trying to push off the site? You've been here for a minute yet you seem to know more than everyone else. Kudos to you! :D
It's obviously Dana. It pleases you it seems to make bigoted points and troll, some people may think that frivolous. I may be a FLOP on this site but I am a FLOP who knows how to behave.
I'm not Hellno, I don't know. I can only make my assumptions, hence the reason I'm just clarifying. I don't think this debate is meant to be attacking, and as of his last response to me I gathered that his endgame is to teach you a lesson.
Unfortunately she's played the mentally ill card. She can be a very unpleasant person but because she keeps saying how mentally ill she is I have to think that she doesn't have the capacity to engage in debates in any other way that she does now - i.e. being offensive and seemingly purposefully missing the point.
The best thing to do is just not to engage in any lengthy debates with her and see her replies in light of what I've just said.
:) ur most welcome. anyone should be allowed to express their views on anything. i'm sure banning is when people post irrelevant arguments for points or spams.
You are hateful person who is in the wrong. You call me confused yet you are a "libertarian" who voted for a liberal. Hypocrite. You started this whole thing just because I dared to call myself a liberal which is my right. I have been a liberal for a while and I just did not know it. Who are you to judge me? Oh wait, no one.
:O no i mean a lot of people on CD, although there are some who don't like her arguments and beliefs. but loving people who you debate with all day long isn't really a love mantra. :P
and seriously, she's not that bad. she's just... really.. stubborn? its her way. we can live it out can't we? ;)
you are just a bitter, judgemental, confused alcoholic who is so bitter over your life being a complete failure of your hopes and dreams that you seek to spread misery. Get help.
Again with the broken record... you got any facts to back up your wild accusations? What is it you always say to others? "You don't know me!" "Don't judge me" LOL! You're a lost cause sweetheart! Pathetic.
