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.
I think interacting with your community is a great way to build understanding with people who may be different from you. It can also help you evolve as a person as you have more people to bounce off of personality-, social-, and cultural- wise. Helping the community can help one identify problems in a certain area and get varying ideas on how to resolve them.
Helping the community is better in that it increases your chances the help will be reciprocated at some point in the future. However, neither option is ideal because -- thanks to mistakes made by various world leaders -- the individualist perspective still dominates society. Many people view helping the community as socialism and so it kicks off their internal self-defence mechanisms. This is why "social justice warriors" often become a target for Conservative trolls.
You can't always help the community, but you can usually help at least one person. It could also be argued that helping even one person IS helping the community.
Helping one person because if you just throw money at a gongregation of people, you might help white people, men or Conservatives, all of which have privilege.

Wow. What a hypocrite. So much for being mr. big collectivist Marxist pants.
You are like a case study in Freudian projection, bronto. You should be publicly banned from using words like "hypocrite".
I am not Bronto. You are a simpletaneous pickled horse scrotum in a jar. You think you are the good guy, but you are just another one picking sides and causing division in humanity.

Hello again, Big:
Yes, they do.. You need look no further than Judge Judy. She TRIES hard, and she's very subtle. But, she cannot keep her contempt for people of color under wraps..
And, yes.. I'm sure she'll tell you that some of her best friends are black.. Riiiight.. That's white privilege.
Can't comment on this untill I factcheck your statement .
Hello again, Big:
There's nobody to factcheck with.. I didn't learn about her from anybody. I learned about her by WATCHING her show.
The thing about white privilege is that it CAN'T be proven.. It's subtle.. If you're NOT observant, you'll miss it. That's probably why I've NEVER seen an article saying what I said about Judge Judy.
If I have black friends, that means I have white privilege? Face palm. You've entered the no spin zone. Having black friends makes you a privileged racist. That's double spin. No, that's lying and spinning and triple lying spin.
Helping the community. So that the politicians can consume your donations
The minimum argument length is 50 characters. The purpose of this restriction is to cut down on the amount of dumb jokes, so we can keep the quality of debate and discourse as high as possible.
