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.

US just finished dead last among 46 countries in media trust
Hello K:
"MEDIA", huh??
Of course, that includes right wing talk radio that DOMINATES the flyover states, right??? Or the most watched cable news network on the air, amirite???
I spose when you add those in, NOBODY would trust our media.
Of course, I do.. Rush Limprod and I go back a long way.. He was very libertarian back in the 80's. Then he got caught using drugs, and turned into your regular, run of the mill, right wing drug warrior..
So, I said to myself, that's FUCKED UP.
And, yes.. I watch Hannity come down HARD on mask wearing, only to have him switch gears a couple nights ago.
So, I said to myself, that's FUCKED UP.
If they get back to Dr. Suess and Mr. Potato Head, I'll watch again.. I'm VERY interested in that.
But, nuff about me.. You're a consumer of right wing radio, aren't you?? Are they still promoting the BIG LIE?? Of course, they are.
Of course, I do.. Rush Limprod and I go back a long way.. He was very libertarian back in the 80's. Then he got caught using drugs, and turned into your regular, run of the mill, right wing drug warrior..
Did you totally misunderstand what I said, or is it libertarianism that you don't understand??
Look. Libertarians smoke pot. I smoke pot.. Rushball did other drugs.. Everybody was COOL with that until Slimeball Limbaugh got busted.. To make a better deal for himself, he snitched on his connection, became a government informant, and a right wing anti drug fuckhead.
Of course, that includes right wing talk radio that DOMINATES the flyover states, right??? Or the most watched cable news network on the air, amirite???
Sure does. But right wingers aren't like left wingers. Most of us don't trust Fox News either. We just find it more trustworthy than left wing media, and that's no compliment, trust me.
I spose when you add those in, NOBODY would trust our media.
Over 90% of the mainstream press is left wing, and in the poll, Fox News actually brings the average up sadly.

Hello W:
There ya go with words again.. You have a hard time understanding 'em... I dunno why.. They're just words
Pregnant is one of those words. It's easy.. You either ARE or you're NOT... There ain't no in between.. Trustworthy is another one of those words.. You either TRUST someone, or you don't.. There ain't no middle ground.
To BUY into the FOX News bullshit because they don't lie to you ALL the time, is STUPID, STUPID, STUPID..
In your drug induced delusionary state you probably can't figure out what day of the week it is never mind why you waste your time here calling people RAYYYYYYYCISTS.
Be advised that most everything is ''beyond you''.
Now hashish head, start calling our former President, Donald Trump obscene names and eff those of a conservative political viewpoint into hell and back out again then accuse others of being haters.
YOU JUST DON'T GET IT, DO YOU.
Attempting to deflect attention away from the idiocy of the bumbling, stammering, shit-for-brains Biden just isn't working.
The entire world is fully aware of his severe mental health issues.

Hello racist:
Delusion??? Dude!! You HATE black people with an unmatched fervor, and you demonstrate that hate here, on these pages, every day. Then you deny you're a RAYYYYYYCIST.. DUDE!
You go on, and on, and on about the superiority of white people, and then deny you're a white supremacist??? DUDE!!
You're all confused there pal, dude, squire, my old china=china-plate=mate, bro, mucker, friend, buster, wee-lad.
All I do is catalogue the inventions and discoveries made by white men that have gone to advance and enhance the ''EVERYDAY'' lives for all of mankind.
These lists can be challenged as being false or countered with equally important creations which are attributable to Bongos at any time and by anyone.
I never receive any such notifications. I WONDER WHY.
I also point out that the world's economic and political systems along with medical procedures, life saving and pain relieving drugs all exist as a result of the white man's inventiveness, ingenuity, inquiring mind and their endless quest to improve on all their existing inventions and further explore/research and develop their discoveries.
In many cases the white man's inventions and discoveries, as is the case with Einstein, can be described as nothing less than pure genius.
All the things we take for granted in the ''everyday'' modern world have been invented/discovered and developed by whites.
I also point out how blacks have a disproportionate predisposition to violent crime and a congenital aversion to formal education.
I ask questions such as:- when did you hear of Jewish riots and looting?
When did you hear of Chinese or Indian Riots, looting and wanton destruction?
DIFFICULT AS IT UNDOUBTLEY IS YOU ABSOLUTELY MUST NEVERTHELESS try very hard to recognise and more importantly, ACCEPT that telling the truth or stating scientific facts DOES NOT CONSTITUTE RAYYYYCISM.
WHY ARE SO MANY BLACK AFRICAN NATIONS STILL IN A STATE OF DEVELOPMENT?
COME ON, TELL ME.
WHY DO THE BLACK AFRICAN NATIONS POINT THEIR BEGGING BOWLS TO THE PREDOMINATELY WHITE NATIONS OF THE FREE WORLD WHEN THEY'RE IN A MUDDLE?
The criminal and destructive activities of Bongos as well as their low levels of achievement are uniform throughout all the nations where they immigrated to freely and were made welcome.
THE BONGO repaid the magnanimity of their adopted nations by killing and mugging the indigenous citizens, raping their womanhood and destroying property.
SUCH IS THE BONGO.
I ATTEST THAT THERE IS NOTHING EVEN SLIGHTLY RAYYYYYYYCIST ABOUT THE AFOREMENTIONED FACTS AND TRUTHFUL STATEMENTS.
So, you've just identified yourself as a SELF DECLARED HATER while accusing others of being HATERS.
Hey man, seriously, cut back on that shit.
You seem to have a mental block at understanding that TELLING THE TRUTH IS NOT RAYYYYYYCISM.
Bongos have made trying to brand outspoken conservatives as RAYYCISTS INTO AN ART FORM, AND TO GIVE CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE, THEY'VE BEEN VERY SUCCESSFUL.
The mainstream media publishers and broadcasters such as Fox news, Glen Beck, Newsmax....and yes I'll say it again, Fox news... are all in bed with the Republicans.
This blatant and unashamed right-wing media bias is viewed by the rest of the free world with extreme disapproval and a certain element of dread.
Try to find the middle ground news sources. Sure some will have a little leaning to either side but the level of extreme alarmist news will blessedly be smaller.
Unbiased media has never really existed in the US: even if there is a centrist publication, it would be biased towards the centre over any other political affiliation.
News sites like CNN, New York Times and MSNBC are left-wing biased, while other news sites like Fox News, Breitbart and NewsMax are right-wing biased. These are two political affiliations pulling in opposite directions, so the average person is confused and not sure which way to lean. Anyway, when I say that news sites are "left-wing biased" or "right-wing biased" I am not saying they necessarily distort the facts, although some do. There are many other ways to influence left vs right bias in a news outlet, such as story selection (choosing news stories which favour a certain political agenda).
