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.
It's this level of discussion (from all sides, and on virtually every subject), that is the reason why I engaged with this site (which is a very good idea), for a few days, before never coming on here again. I picked this thread almost at random - just leafing through the subject titles is enough to leave a person feeling depressed.
I don't think the internet is the right place to discuss issues of any importance. People are just too abusive, enjoy too much feeling that they are right, don't listen, and ultimately perhaps a little too cynical to engage in open, sincere discussion.
If anyone knows of a site where this kind of discussion does happen, let e know by private message. If not - good luck with it all. You do know that it really should be 5 year olds who talk like this right?
I suspect the originators of this site had really good intentions; but the problem is that people naturally create their own hierarchies. There really isn't a democracy of opinions. And I suppose the hierarchy here is to disengage completely.

That is a description of people generally. The internet is not a factor in that. People are perhaps more abusive to each other on the internet, but that is only because they are being protected by a certain level of anonymity and/or distance.
You can't blame the internet for people. People were here first.
Turns out the U.S. isn't even in top 10 worldwide for deaths per million.
The US has not come anywhere close to hitting its peak mortality rate yet you stupid, backwards idiot. Navarro predicted half a million deaths in the memo your boss ignored and then lied about ignoring, which will put it top of that list.
THE US HAS THE HIGHEST RATE OF INFECTION IN THE ENTIRE WORLD, THE FASTEST RATE OF INFECTION IN THE ENTIRE WORLD, AND THE HIGHEST NUMBER OF TOTAL DEATHS IN THE ENTIRE WORLD.
Spin it all you like you piece of shit. Your boss fucked up and he fucked up big. Now millions of people are going to die thanks to him and his lies.
"A model by the The Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington projected that Sunday would be the peak day for deaths from COVID-19 in the United States."
Ahahahaha! You are literally madder than a camping weekend with Tom Cruise. You begin by saying I'm wrong, then post a bunch of sources which prove I'm right!!!! The USA has not hit its virus peak yet, and your sources prove it, retard.

Or, you said it was nowhere near the peak when leftist outlets say it's less than a week away or that we are in it. I'm good with my opposition being dumber than a can of spam. Keep up the poor work.
Nom:
The US has not come anywhere close to hitting its peak mortality rate
Again. Excellent work at playing a helmet wearier.
THE US HAS THE HIGHEST RATE OF INFECTION IN THE ENTIRE WORLD
Yes, countries with 330 million people have more of just about everything than countries with 5 million to 70 million people. I'd explain to you why, but your head might explode. But without explaining basic math to you, let's take a peak anway, shall we?
Oh for God's sake shut up you delusional, raving mad bastard. China, India, Indonesia, Pakistan, Brazil, Nigeria, Bangladesh, Russia and Mexico all have HUGE populations too. All of them well over a 100 million and all of them third world countries light years behind the US in terms of medical technology. Christ, some of them don't even have basic sanitation, and yet they ALL have a lower rate of infection than the USA.
Here, open a book, and read something which wasn't written by Hitler for a change:-
China, India, Indonesia, Pakistan, Brazil, Nigeria, Bangladesh, Russia and Mexico all have HUGE populations too. All of them well over a 100 million and all of them third world countries light years behind the US in terms of medical technology.
And all of them with lower rates of infection that the USA, you utter goddamned idiot.
And better than European countries, Socialist or otherwise. Point?
See how that works genius? Probably not. I would introduce you to the magical world of fractions, per one million, and per capita, but I doubt it would help to explain to the chimp why the banana is not a meat product.
You're just mad mate. Absolutely fucking mad. You jump from one fallacy straight to another one without even taking a breath between. Stop contradicting yourself and shut the fuck up you weirdo. Every single European country other than the three you cherry-picked out have lower rates of infection. You literally ignored forty one countries in Europe you stuttering prick.
What's the matter buddy? Why cant the Socialist utopias beat third world countries? Explain it to us. We're waiting with anxious anticipation for some of your Never Never Land logic. Give it to us. We must know.
I must admit that it is entertaining to watch you try to attack the U.S. with a list of countries with less cases then claim I'm the one that picked the countries on your very own list. I'm not surprised that someone with the inability to do basic math is a leftist.
I see exactly how it works you stupid little scumbag. You've picked out the three worst hit countries in Europe and the two least hit countries from the list of ten countries I gave you. There are FORTY FOUR countries in Europe you unbelievably dishonest little retard, and other than the three you have picked, they all have lower rates of infection than the countries I just listed for you. Check the graph if you don't believe me. And while you are there tell us which country is sitting right at the top you bumbling Nazi shitbucket!!!
I see exactly how it works you stupid little scumbag
Cool. Then caclulate for us what percent the UK's population is of America's population. Then calculate for us what percent the UK's deaths are of America's deaths. I'll wait.
No, not cool. Having a conversation with an habitual liar is pretty far from cool. All you want to do is deflect attention away from the fact that Trump has killed 20,000 Americans -- by any means necessary. It's boring and it's stupid. I've just busted you for omitting NINETY FOUR PERCENT OF THE RELEVANT DATA to produce a completely false claim about Europe, which you were only trying to use to deflect culpability away from your idiotic orange fuhrer in the first place!!!!!
I've said it before and I'll say it again. What you are is a pure, unadulterated scumbag. Nobody will weep when you die. You know it and I know it.
Having a conversation with an habitual liar is pretty far from cool.
Yet being the magic truth fairy that you are, you can never disprove my positions or prove yours. So, either you're willfully ignorant or simply a trashcan of inability to prove or disprove anything.
Christ, some of them don't even have basic sanitation, and yet they ALL have a lower rate of infection than the USA.
And lower than Britain's. You guys must not wipe or brush your teeth.
Of course, even if we did use your illogic, most U.S. deaths are in the most lefty leftist parts of America. Maybe it's just leftists who don't do hygiene.
