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.
You stupid little twat. If everybody needs to self-finance then obviously different people's financial interests are going to collide with each other and hence why 1 in 5 people have to live on less than a dollar a day.
Honestly Jody, people like you are just so stupid. By your very own admission you grew up poor, and yet you spend your entire life demeaning the poor. Fucking idiot.
Yes, the truck drivers, should refuse service. No one has the right to defund police, because police protection, is a right. The people who defund the police, have never had their lives saved by the police. I have, copy that?
The public does not have the right to support crime.
What are you even talking about you stupid goddamned idiot? The public funds the police service. If the public wants to use those funds on something else (perhaps on something more effective at fighting crime) then that is up to the public. You don't dictate to the public what it can and can't spend money on you stupid retard.
Oh does it? That's strange, because I'm on the left, and I don't want to defund the police. Here's a counter theory: you are a retarded wingnut fool who believes everything she hears on Fox News. You are a total fucking retard, and that is why when some half-witted college radical suggests defunding the police, you automatically assume that means the entire left wants to defund the police.
And I decide whether I believe you are attributing false labels to yourself. Reciprocity is a concept lost on you because you are too self-centred to understand it. If you have rights then I have the same rights.
You would lie about your own, Mother. You slandered me several times, so I took matters into my own hands, and made this account. You are a true Marxist.
The only liar here is you Dana. You are a liar who just yesterday accused me of sexually harassing you. Lol. You fucking ugly bitch. You could literally be the last person left on Earth and that would never happen.
You have in detail, said what I can do with my fingers, you have said I allegedly lied about being raped, you have called me a rapist, you have said I raped you at your house on one of your debates, need I say more?
The police are a much needed, public safety, resource.............................................................................................................
Spoken like a tolerant, leftist. Someone disagrees with your opinion, so you spew hate. EVERYONE has the right, to not be a crime victime. Why do leftists, love crime?

Oh, of course. It's the left that does that, not the right. 😆 Except wait, isn't that what Trump has been doing ever since America disagreed with his plans to create a fascist state in November?
In fact, isn't that what you are doing right now? Spewing hate and anti-left wing bigotry? Kinda ironic that you can be doing something while you are accusing the left of doing it, but then again I guess that's how crazy the American right has become in recent years.
Darling, all political Parties, are a lie, on one thing, or another.
Just out of interest, if all political parties are a lie, why do you only ever attack the Democrats and/or the left? Why did you vote for the Republicans?
Here's a thought. Instead of telling other people to study things they have actually studied (at degree level), how about you spend that time finding an opinion which corresponds a little better to your own words?
That is just my history, on here. I was mass attacked on sodahead.com back when that site was active, for a few, reasons. Anti Arab hate is just as fucking evil as hate against black, Jewish, Mexican, do you get my point? I would see some nasty things said about Arabs when Obama ran for President because some racise assholes thought he was an Arabs and wanted to hate him. I would troll them in Arabic, and ask who cares, if he is purlple, you know? When I said healthcare is a right, I ws called a libtard. I have been called both a libtard, and a contard, depending, on said issue, chavrim.

Chief among them being that you don't listen to reason even when you are categorically proven wrong beyond all reasonable doubt.

That is particularly important even though you probably don't realise it. The American centre has been moving to the right for many decades in comparison to the rest of the world, and one of the reasons for that is something Noam Chomsky labelled flak. That is, when you don't agree with the far right's extreme viewpoint, they attack you for being too far left. They do this even if you are on the right or in the centre in a deliberate effort to drag you -- and everyone else -- along for their ride into extremism.
No, you do not. Ever. There is not one person on this site who would agree with you. You are a stupid annoying idiot who sticks her fingers in her ears and refuses to even acknowledge the other side of an argument.
That is not the issue, and some people have agreed with me on some things, like healthcare, and multiculturalism, which I support. I also support racial unity, and ethnic equality.
I beg to differ. The issue is not the websites you use. The issue is you.
and some people have agreed with me on some things, like healthcare, and multiculturalism
The issue is never when people agree with you. The issue is when people show you that you are wrong you ignore them and refuse to listen. You are completely and unapologetically irrational. That is the issue. It is a common issue in America, but even still you are a rather extreme case.
I also support racial unity, and ethnic equality.
You do not support class equality though, and I'm afraid that puts you on the right.
You are a liar. U have supported racial unity and ethnic equality, since I was 14, and I was 39, now. I believe all skin colors are equal members, of one human race, and all ethnicities, are equal. I celebrate equally, all skin colors, and ethnicities. You are a liar, and a slanderer. Maybe I should say you sleep in a bed full of butt plugs, listening to Celin Dion music, as you sleep. Tit for tat, playaer.

Do you even speak English mate? I mean, wow.
I believe all skin colors are equal members, of one human race, and all ethnicities, are equal.
And you evidently can't read English either. If you can't speak English and you can't read English then why are you here? I never refuted that you believe all skin colors are equal members of the human race you retarded bitch.
Despite your opinion, I think a lot of the government in both Parties, can go fuck themselves. If you still want to think I am this or that, that is your choice, not mine.

Despite what you now say, you only ever attack the Democrats and the left generally. You freely admitted that you voted for Donald Trump, so shut your ugly lying face please. You quite literally disgust me. You are a disgusting person.
On this site. On Facebook, I critique, all points, of veiw. This is not a theatre. I am not obligated, to perform all of my beliefs, for your, enjoyment. I enly have to prove the claims, I post. You are free, to ask questions, though.
This is on topic. If truck drivers refuse to do their jobs (deliver to cities who 'defund the police'), should they be fired? It's a caveat to your statement.
IMO they have the right to refuse, but the companies then have the right to reprimand them as they see fit up to and including firing. If produce isn't delivered in a timely fashion, who is going to eat (pun not intended) the cost? No corporation wants to lose money and that cost is going to come out of something. Essentially, you have the right to refuse, but there will most likely be consequences and they have to expect that.
If companies themselves begin to refuse then their competition will fill the gap for a premium. If crime gets really bad in these areas then delivering to them will become pretty lucrative. The increased cost will be reflected in the higher prices for regular goods in these areas. And if it's so bad that even the shipping cost is more expensive, then the prices on the ground will be very high indeed, and more people will go without.
Leaving the hypothetical trucker aside, areas where riots occur suffer economically for decades. Areas where theft is higher already has higher prices on the shelf. If true refunding of police occurs, poor people will pay not only in higher rates of victimization, but in higher prices as well.
