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.

No body in their right mind thinks that Veterans or those in the military are the only ones capable of getting PTSD. I don't know where you're coming from with this. The vast majority could potentially be veterans...possibly... but that doesn't mean only.
PTSD is so incorrectly over used that everyone acts like they have it whether they do or not. Military people get it and then act like they don't have it.
Dermot asked something, you then reworded what you had already said, I told you that you did so, and now, with this comment of yours, it surely isn't me who is trolling here.
As I said, you should directly ban anyone who tries to talk sense against you.
Could be; I'm not really sure of how things work on that part of the spectrum, though otherwise I could confidently say that no negatives make a positive.
He's not trolling. It's a legitimate question. Who is telling you that "only military people can get PTSD"? Are they military or are they civilian? Because, quite honestly that is one of the stupidest things I've heard.
People who support right-wing politics tend to be irrationally left-wing when it comes to government welfare for veterans whether it's accommodation or PTSD therapy, they scream in proud and angry protest that the filthy Milllenial youth is not respecting those who "fought for their freedom". These same people then protest to cut welfare and benefits for anyone who may need it outside the military.
I was PTSD after some encounters with street punks when I had to fight for my life and walked away unhurt.....things started getting hairy as I had made a bit of a legend of myself. There's a lot more to the story, but I knew I was a marked man and survival was moment by moment, couldn't sleep....until I surrendered my life to God and gave Him full responsibility as I yielded my will to His and He took over as my life, my Savior, and He taught me that I have no want with Him as my Shepherd, He makes me lie down in green pastures, He leads me beside the still waters, He restores my soul and leads me in paths of righteousness for His name's sake. Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I shall fear no evil for He is with me, His rod and staff comfort me. He prepares a table before me in the presence of my enemies; he anoints my head with oil, my cup runs over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
I find you to be beyond belief. In fact anyone who lead a life which more than once resulted in fighting with "street punks" wouldn't use that lame label when talking about it. You're just an arm chair internet troll.
Well that's just too bad for you, isn't it? You won't believe God loves you so much that He took on human form and died for your sins, rose from the grave, and will forgive you and save you from Hell if you will repent of your sin, believe on Him, and receive Him as your Savior, so you won't be saved, and if you won't believe me, that's just too bad for you, isn't it?
And give my regards to your brother, tell him I said it is impossible for a sinner to do enough good or be good enough to earn the right to exist outside of Hell, and the proof of this simple common sense fact is that you cannot be good enough or do enough good to live; you can't stop yourself from getting what you deserve in your body, dying.
You can't justify yourself, you need God's mercy to keep you out of Hell, you need His pardon to be forgiven and that pardon was provided for in that He died in your place, for you, so that you can be forgiven by Him in that He is risen from the dead and willing and able to forgive all who believe from their heart that God has raised Him from the dead and He is the Lord God Almighty.
You're fooling yourself if you think you have the right to exist outside of Hell when you have no covering for your sins.
That reminds me... You've been asking whether you are just chemical fizzes in the brain, right?
In case you mean that question, not quite. But since you are so close, and considering your intellect, that error can be overlooked.
You are the electrical signals in your brain, which are caused mainly by the chemical reactions.
There's no such thing as chemical fizzes in brain.
You're fooling yourself by believing that a heretic such as you would receive covering for his sins. Really, you'll be no better off than me if christianity turns out to be true.
17-19.......For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
36........He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abideth on him.
I call them street punks because that is what they are. In my days when I was like you, sipping some bubbly, I was in places at times where I should not have been and I got caught in a situation where I had to fight for my life.
My real name was well enough known in the area, the punks I embarrassed (thanks to the little martial arts training I had when a teen) when their little gang jumped me could have easily found where I lived in my house alone. A series of events over the next 18 months or so had me in a state of war mentality and I fled that city before I went ballistic and did things I may or may not have walked away from and certainly would have regretted. I was PTSD for a couple years after I moved to a small town.....that's enough of the story and I really don't care if you believe me or not. I don't say much about my personal life and/or family here, but when I talk about it......well......I really don't care what you think. I have to admit I would hope you see the hand of God on my life and realize you need His hand on your life, but I doubt you will ever see that and I have done far more than what I am obliged to do with you in trying to get you to see the truth......so I really don't care, it's on you and you will remember I told you the truth (though if you end up in Hell like I think you are going to, you may never really concede that I told you the truth). You will remember even if only by having it put in your face on Judgement Day showing how you rejected the truth in preference of your pride.
Punks are punks and I call them punks. Street punks roam around on the streets, little gangstas or wannabe gangstas.......You're just an internet arm chair wino. At least when I was sipping the suds I had a spirit of adventure and I went places and did things; not just sitting there trying to impress people by talking while sipping wine. But God knows I was no good then and still have nothing good in myself while you think you are good. That's the difference between me and you; you think you are good and I know I'm not good. I know I deserve to burn in Hell and you think you are too good for Hell; and it eats your heart out because you are trying to prove something which I admit to; I admit I'm no good and deserve to die and burn in Hell and you are trying to prove you are as good or better than me while you are too proud to admit you can only prove you deserve to die and burn in Hell the same as me.
I was a bit on the wild side at times, but I never considered myself to be a street punk. A street punk is a thug who tries to intimidate or bully people like they own the street....kinda like you being an internet punk. In my wild days it was just having fun, I wasn't out looking for fights like a street punk does. It was only once that I had to engage in hand to hand combat with some punks who jumped me. There were a few other times when I avoided being attacked or forced to fight but that one time I had no choice. If you think the term "street punk" is a lame label, then don't use it. I call street punks what they are, street punks, the same as I call winos, winos. I guess you think wino is a lame label too.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! You call me an internet punk yet it's you who constantly bans people and then piles on snide remarks after they can't respond. It's you who threatens with hell. It's you who dogpiles similar debates on your conservative issues, including pre-bans, so you can hopefully snowball all opposition. It's you who makes insulting smears.
And your terminology and behavior here has once again confirmed SaintNow and FromWithin are really the same person. Just another demonstration of your rampant dishonesty as a debater.
I didn't read yours the first time. I know it would be a waste of time.
I know you are unable to hear the truth, and unable to speak the truth, so why would I bother reading your reply when I know what you will say before you say it?
Usually I don't read your stuff at all....I did read two or three of your short posts recently; don't expect me to read any more, your attitude and the things you say remain unchanged and there's no point in my wasting my time wallowing in your mud.
No on believes you when you say that. It's fooling absolutely no one. In fact if you look at the number of times you respond in a thread as well as the length of your paragraphs compared to mine it's clear you are WAY more involved in these discussions despite your constant claim you could care less.
Hmmmmm...let me guess what you are saying....ahhhhh, never mind; I'm sure it's more of the same old same old, the same horse you are riding in death to Hell, and I know your response to that so there is no need for me to read about how you think you are justified to exist outside of Hell.
Well, there's two scenario's to this and neither speak well for him. He's either reading this then lying about it because he thinks it's some form of comeback to when people call him out and he doesn't have an actual response. Most likely it's this one. Or there's the other one, which is he really isn't reading it and just responding with blatant ignorance. So he's either a liar, or intentionally ignorant.
I will say the amount of times I've read him claiming he hasn't, he seemed awfully knowledgeable in what the other person said....the one he claims not to have read. Even when they've said something completely different in their other post.
