The odds of someone accused of rape being innocent: 2-10%.
The odds of someone accused of murder being innocent: 4%.
If they are found to be innocent, they are freed and paid for their service and pain during their time as a slave. However, under my rule, the BoP for the prosecution would be huge because rape is a serious crime. Unless they have enough proof, the defendant doesn't get punished. I believe facts and evidence.
If innocent people are pretty much slaves in China and the UN doesn't kick China out, I don't think they will care about the US enslaving mostly guilty rapists.
I think the death penalty for being a false accuser is too harsh unless it was a repeated offence. Life imprisonment sounds better.
E Cigs: They are taxed less to encourage smokers to get off of conventional cigarettes, then to go to nicotine, and then to get off of the drug completely.
STDs: If you tax STDs, it encourages people to get their STDs treated, thereby helping the economy and improving society.
Rape: The punishment for rape should be life imprisonment as a slave in addition to having all your money taken away from you. They would also get castrated. On average, the revenue generated from the labor would total around $2 million. The rape victim gets $1 million of these. Only people convicted of rape that have enough proof brought up against them would suffer the punishment. There has to be enough proof for it to count. Rape is a serious crime and the punishment must be harsh.
Meat consumption: After doing some research, I think the meat tax is a bad idea. The other taxes seem fine though and you didn't mention most of the taxes.
That pie chart you saw showed what percentage of the taxes were sales taxes. Conservatives like sales taxes because almost everyone pays the tax. Liberals don't like these because they want the rich to pay for everything. The tax system has no income tax, no corporate tax, and no business tax. It punishes you for doing bad and neutral things that you know people will do instead of punishing you for doing good things. We need the money somehow. It sounds conservative to me. I hope the senate approves. I'll be surprised if they know it exists. It just needs popular support. If the taxes go gradually up, then people won't notice enough to create a significant black market.
The Greek debt is not on the decline(https://commodity.com/debt-clock/greece/). Neither is the American debt, but it is under control. I made a spending plan to get rid of the debt within 4 years.
If Greece can pay back their debt to the extent where it is manageable, why haven't they done so yet?
Not all debt is owed to foreign countries. Much of the US debt, the US owes to it's self by investors, bond holders, etc. America almost a "continental currency program" all by it's self since the US is roughly a similar size to the EU. America's Foreign debt to GDP ratio is within a manageable range. America has yet to default. If this was true for Greece, why did they default on their loan?
Most of the US debt is owed to it's self. Only about $6 Trillion is owed to any foreign country. This is about 25% of our GDP. It's rising, but interest payments are being made to avoid a debt overtaking the US. Greece defaulted on their debt.
"(A lockout window where new votes cannot be added, before the final calculations are made)." That lockout window is when no more votes are allowed on debates. I think there should be some voting regulations so only some people can vote. Virt made a fourm about it below:
For people with a winning record, the number of debates you have affects your rating positively a lot. Someone with a 9-6 record will probably have a better rating then someone with a 3-2 record, despite the win percentage being the same. If either of us had the same number of debates as blamonkey, we wouldn't be in the top 3. Can you unblock me?
He and I are only in the top 5 because we have a lot of debates. I think the maker of this website made it so participation contributed to rank. Someone with 20 wins and 9 losses will probably be ahead of someone with 8 wins and 0 losses because person 1 has 11 more losses then wins, even though they lose pretty frequently compared to guy 2. If blamonkey had as many debates to his name as me, then I think blamonkey will be in first by a lot because he is very good, I would say even better then RM. He doesn't debate much though compared to me or RM.
Greece has a smaller economy, so them owing $400 billion in debt is more significant then a huge country like the US owing that much. The US has our foreign debt under control. I even created a tax plan that can get rid of all American foreign debt within 4 years. It's getting bigger, but it's under control. The Greek debt isn't under Greek control, which is why they have asked for bailouts from the EU.
The plan to pay off the debt is here:

Many people would consider Trump unlikable. He's not my favorite president, despite being a Republican. I prefer his vice president. I think Greece needs to sell something to pay off their debt to the extent where they can manage it with interest payments.
The US has not defaulted on our debt, otherwise we wouldn't be paying interest payments to it. Most of the US debt is owed to the US government. Only about $6 Trillion of it is owed to a foreign country. I did not call the Greeks lazy.
I'm sure the US gov has their ways of finding out if the abortion was race based or not. How do they catch people who commit other crimes? The bill didn't pass to begin with because of the democrats in office.
Round 3 was funny. 1st time something I said was cited like that.
I think whoever accepts your debate would be meet one of the 3 objectives:
1: He/she is Flatearth.
2: He is RM.
3: He/she will forfeit the debate, giving you an easy win.
It's rare to put the BoP solely on yourself.
God might exist.
1st comment.
1st comment!
What are trade unions?
How many debates on this site are forfeits?
Nice job. Sorry that the debate didn't go as planned.
Nice job
I'm pretty sure that science confirms that viruses exist.
God might exist. I hope not.

I see type1 isin't forfeiting anymore.

America's Foreign debt to GDP ratio is within a manageable range. America has yet to default. If this was true for Greece, why did they default on their loan?
Then whose fault is it? I think it's the governmental policies that lead to their defaulting of the debt.
"Did you not look at the chart where it talked about the debt ratio per GDP" What chart?
Greece defaulted on their debt because they couldn't afford the interest payment. I did not call Greeks lazy.
Most of the US debt is owed to it's self. Only about $6 Trillion is owed to any foreign country. This is about 25% of our GDP. It's rising, but interest payments are being made to avoid a debt overtaking the US. Greece defaulted on their debt.
The Greek debt is $411 billion. Those expenses alone did not cause the debt.
How much did the Olympics cost? I don't know if a stadium could be the sole source of the greek debt.
"This is a troll/non standard debate so votes aren't moderated.." Then why did you moderate mine?
Can you send me a link to what I said?
I forgot what I said in the Hangout chats. It was a long time ago.

I don't like RM partly because he is arrogant. He thinks he is a demigod.
I said I don't like the Greek government.
How does RM manage 8 debates at once?
He often responds close to last minute.
He probably will win.
Good job.
Can you clarify?

Good luck to both competitors.

The US gov hasn't defaulted on our debt. Greece has.
I don't like the Greek government because they have a huge debt problem.
I wonder what RM would say to this.
Good luck to both of you.
Viruses exist.
I agree with you on this.
I think the earth is a near sphere.
He can have his avatar be whatever he wants.
Liberal Logic:
A pregnant women says the N word: Hate speech. Racism. Must be banned. Speaker must be punished.
A pregnant women kills an unborn fetus because they are black: Their body, their choice. This racism is okay.
I'm sure the US gov has their ways of finding out if the abortion was race based or not. How do they catch people who commit other crimes? The bill didn't pass to begin with because of the democrats in office.
