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.
This is the first argument. You must dispute or support this argument. If you click on the orange "add argument" button above, you will be banned and forfeit the win.
I created this debate because I have noticed that having the most logical argument doesn't always win. The winner seems to be whoever has the last word. So I want to know who has the stamina to go the distance.
I also created this debate because I have never banned anyone from any of my debates and I would like to use that feature after all these years.
Well look what the cat dragged in. I haven't seen you around in a while. Glad to see you're still with us. Because if you are not with us, you are against us. ;)
Is the Universe whoever has the last say, or feeling the need to reply to another post out of the perception that that other post has only been posted to have the last say?
I think I had those accounts since before you took over the site. There is one account, Headless, which I don't have the email address for but I do have the password ;)
And they get more fragile by reliance on external agents, such as computers.
Also, I could control your computer, mind, everything. But that takes a lot of resources, and it won't be economical to do it on you.
Also, I find it boring to be a cyber equivalent of Moriarty. But as a cyber security specialist lawyer, that won't be very hard. (I'm not really specialising that much, probably, because I don't like programming.)
I hypothesised that it must be terrifying to consider that a lot is now memories, and even though it might now seem to have passed quickly, the time has always been moving as slow as it seems to at any moment. (Considering the astronomical accelerations to be negligible.)
But rather the memory of what has been. It must seem to have passed quickly, as if just a few days ago was the...well, all things. (At least the way you chose to remember them in future the last time you did.)
And now that's all gone. No matter how quick it might now seem, it clearly was as slow as everything now, even though you might not try to think how slowly the time passes. (Because, it seems, people get better at ignoring the passage of time.)
But if you've been persistent on a website (that has a rather old design - universal enough for my needs) for 8 years, then I guess that's just something you think to feel better about it.
These self affirmations are easy to believe in - because that's an important feature of the brain. That's why they are generally rather shallow.
Those who want to can pray to their deities (that they get to pray to them for eternity.)
A stagnant life is extremely boring.
We own this planet, and we can own millions like this.
And damage is going to be done. The living nature can itself lose under its rules. Especially with what I hear about the actions of your new president - damage won't be prevented.
Already your country has an entirely different law education, offering JD instead of LLB and all, so the Bar Council here isn't very accepting about that.
Also, it has gone against what I would have predicted, so I wonder what an irrational person would do of a high position.
Though Netflix isn't really friendly in India. I got an Amazon Prime today, but that doesn't have a lot of things. Sherlock, for example (the BBC series.)
I don't really need to 'move to' anywhere, though.
But if I had to, it'd probably be Russia or Switzerland - their laws are the most friendly for an international puppeteer.
Still, India is a good place. The implementation of law is only when those in power want it or are forced by popular pressure.
And they can target only such small things that it's all not worth much concern. It's the greedy idiots who would find them overwhelming - I merely want an amusing game.
Though I might end up taking over the world, because that's the greatest platform to play on.
And I'll be destroying anything up there I don't like. That increases the chances of someone coming forward to play and be crushed if he isn't worth it. That includes many religions. Let's see how validly they say/believe that a hero always emerges.
All I know is I feel I should be declared winner in getting the last word in this debate for having to endure clicking through 'show replies' a gazillion times to finally be able to type what I hope to be the final word after the never-ending convo between JatinNagpal and Jolie which is the internet equivalent of War and Peace, whew!! :))
And I do have better things to do either way, even if it weren't. Just requires electricity for convenience, which is generally present.
There's all the preparation I have to do to go to the best universities before playing the greatest game of history. Sufficient resources are freely available for the purpose (legally or otherwise - but I plan to purchase all the books in hardcover later.)
So yes, I'm essentially wasting time (of holidays.)
How long are you supposed to shake your head like that? Don't you get headaches from doing that often? Do people there end up with neck problems larer in life from all that head shaking? ;)
Rule no. 1 of making kids' shows - Never make any great plans by any character. It's a waste of time; send it to Sherlock or something similar if you accidentally have.
Six figures, you mean? (It couldn't be farther with an error.)
A reference to income?
Living the American dream?
Then you might rejoice it the fact that the American dream exists just to make the little people feel more accomplished than they would otherwise. It'd not exist till now if it wasn't thus beneficial in preserving the status quo. And the people, like slaves, believe any such things put upon them.
Life is like a rip currrent; it has a away of changing course which makes it hard to correct for and then it carries you away from your target. The best thing to do is not to fight it until you're out of it ;)
But the tribulation simply won't happen. People should ideally be punished for popularising such insane fantasies.
Especially the greater dogmatists. I have punishments somewhat equivalent to eternal torture for them in mind, so that the ground of threats be a bit levelled.
No. India is rather obedient to the UN, so it won't do any such thing.
We rather expect them to merge inside India and form the Greater India again. But the current government is too religious, even though the base rate wasn't big enough already.
I was wondering why some Indian people have a red dot on their forehead and my friend said that it means that they already took a shower for that day. ;)
There is a small difference. I have been here years. I started when I was old so your only fall back is that I die before you have college, wife and/or kids sucking up your time ;)
Yeah. I am wishing you luck. You said that a red dot means you took a shower for that day and so I am wishing you enough water to bathe every day. A red dot every day. On your forehead. ;)
In our culture, a red dot on your forehead means that someone is aiming a gun at your head ;)
