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.
Researchers have discovered that women in Britain have the most shapely bodies on the planet. A recent global survey of breasts discovered the average British woman wears a size 34D bra -- meaning she has bigger boobs and is more slender than most around the world.
I can honestly say none of my friends fit that description, but some of them aren't British. Really don't post things like that, it's disgusting and crude
Islam will never gain the same political power as it has in Europe, so I wouldn't worry. People in this country are ridiculously prejudiced against muslims so any muslim that wants to be taken seriously has to jump through hoops in order to show that they aren't like the extreme muslims we see in Europe protesting against freedom of speech.
You see you've stumped me, but not because your arguments are convincing but that I actually don't know how to respond: there are way too many options!
I could argue that the link you posted about muslims in America deals primarily with African-Americans who have converted to Islam, and that this demographic is radically different from the muslims marching and protesting through the streets of European cities. Primarily this difference has to do with the fact that those muslims who converted have already gown up and adapted to American culture (most importantly the significance of freedom of speech) and therefore wouldn't be a threat unless you're just afraid of the Islamic religion in general.
On the other hand I might point out that, unless there is a mass exodus of muslims to the U.S. it would take many generations for them to even become even as significant a minority group as Asian Americans, much less African-Americans or Latinos (not to mention the fact that Latinos are the fastest growing minority group, and are mostly Christian).
I could also point out that muslims growing up in the U.S. for multiple generations are (once again) far less likely to be similar to the extremists in Europe.
Maybe I could ask for some actual statistics about birth rates of different demographics since you didn't actually provide any, but instead relied on unsubstantiated stereotypes. None of the muslims I know have 6 kids in their family so until you give me some evidence I'm gonna have to call bullshit.
I could go on, but I don't think that's necessary. Instead I'm going to ask you to stop being so alarmist...I mean the world's gonna end in 2012 anyway, right?

I did not say that they were all terrorists; few are. However, they are gaining in numbers. You claimed that they wouldn't read high numbers in America.

Well, I did say 'generations' and that they are reproducing at several times the speed of other Americans.

Did we directly state that they were?
STOP PUTTING WORDS IN MY MOUTH!

I may be making a mistake here, but I'm confused. If you aren't concerned that the muslims in America are radical extremists, why are you worried that they're going to "take over"? What is the harm in peaceful, constitution-accepting muslims becoming a bigger group in the US?
Then, of course, there are the conspiracy theorists who are convinced that this emigration out of Muslim countries is purposeful; eventually, they will 'rule the world' so to speak simply by their sheer numbers.
Bulls^& America bends over back ward to make sure that in public places and matters that minorities, especially muslims, are not only not offend but receive the bigger slice of pie. There was a controversy a while ago where a collage band a cross from it's chapel claiming that the chapel was for the worship of any religion. perfectly acceptable, but a while later they then planed to add through out the campus Islamic foot washing stations. Christians aren't allowed to have a piece of wood but Islamic get away with thousands of dollars and massive plumbing renovations for there convince. yes there exist extremist Muslims but the average American is no more afraid or raciest against some one because of there skin\religious values. People are always looking for the easy way out so they blame other people. There was a guy(black) who i was talking to who claimed collages are rasicst and only whites and Asians. This is also bulls^& when there are fifty thousand African American affirmative action programs and Africans get a scholarship bonus because of there race. As it turned out he had a 2.5GPA as well as no sports or extracurricular activities. he was so convinced the world is set up against him that he convinced himself that he was denied scholarship not because of his intelligence but because of his race. The only reason people think that discrimination is such a problem is that people listen way to much to laments of scorend babies who are blaming the dog on the mess in the kitchen and people like YOU how go on forums and complain about racism.
I just realized that England is filled with liberals... so I'm staying put with the not so curvy women here. A man has got to get his priorities straight ;)
I'd sooner go to Iceland. They've got great females, along with very few people (no crowds), and one of the highest longevity rates in the world. They've also got an extremely high literacy rate and are a very multilingual nation.
Can't you do that just about anywhere with a rural area? Thoreau did it here in the U.S. and then wrote a fine piece of work called Walden.
I would say go to the American Midwest or Appalachian at least where you can speak the language in case shit hits the fan and the government is much more stable.
But if you're going to live like a hermit, doesn't that render the country having a high literacy rate and being multilingual moot?
Ireland is good but the unemployment and the EU shafting are making things difficult although the girls here are much classier then the British. I would be in Sweden tomorrow the taxes are high but so is the standard of living, the country itself seems to want to progress and the women are jaw dropping.
