I say yes because they are minimally disturbing and they would provide revenue so Debate art, Bsh1, and Virt can get paid for their hard work to make DART a good debating site. I don't have to agree with everything they do. It's one thing that makes us individualls. But lets face it, DART is better then DDO.
It also could provide the opportunity for more jobs at DART because DART will grow and when it grows beyond a certain point, I don't want the mods to get too tired out managing the site. Otherwise, it would crash like DDO. They won't get too tired if they get more help from people who would also become mods that could get paid from the ads.
Let me know what you guys think?

Substantial additional gun controls
Can you be more specific?

If you were to debate me on Gun control starting May 10, what would your position be? Would you want all AK 15s/AK47s banned? Would you support someone with autism getting a gun? Would you support universal background check(UBC) requirements for guns? I can answer these questions personally:
Question 1(AK 15s/AK 47s): No. They provide protection against multiple criminals and a tyrannical government.
Question 2(Autism): No. I have autism. I want a gun. I don't want to do murder with it. I want protection(https://www.debateart.com/forum/topics/1741) and maybe some hunting with it.
Question 3 (UBC): I don't know too much about background checks, which is why I made a forum about it. If a background check is what I think it is, then no. I don't want the government knowing if I or anyone else has a gun. Otherwise, they could conduct tyranny against the people who don't own guns. An example that would appeal to liberals is the deporting of illegal immigrants and separating children at the border. I am willing to admit that breaking up families is tyranny. Would it happen if illegals had guns without the gov knowing to protect themselves?

I don't know too much about background checks(UBC), but is a universal background check when the government knows who has a gun and who doesn't?

I think they misspoke. They were probably making a point about identity politics hijacking much of the left. Misspeaking in general happens when your drunk which I think they were at the time.

Thanks for the good luck. On the practice exam, I got a 2, so I doubt I'll do well on the test. I can still try.

What's next week's "pick of the week"? I would like to stay king of the hill but I think you, ramshutu or blamonkey might take my spot.

They probably would have gone to hell anyways. At least abortion saves the fetus from hell.

It is not derogatory. It is the correct label for what you are in respect to the unborn. Are you?
Many left wingers would claim that restricting abortion is sexist. I know why you want to prohibit/restrict abortion; to save an innocent human life.
To address your serial killer argument, there is something objectively wrong with being a serial killer. There is nothing objectively wrong with being pro life or pro choice.
I support the death penalty. It's a minor issue; very few murderers are executed compared to other issues. War in some situations is too expensive. It defends freedom, but I want the EU to lead the war effort instead of the US. It could help unify Europe.

Are you against labels? Why are you using them if you are? Isn't that hypocritical?
I'm against derogatory slurs like "anti-life". When I was pro life, I got a lot of smears calling me sexist, anti-choice, misogynistic, etc. It's not like I use these against you.
So you are anti-life in respect to life that has not yet been born?And pro-life when it comes to existing life?
I basically don't want the kid born, so you could say I'm anti life for the reason that I stated.
When it comes to post born humans, I tend to lean libertarian, although I do have exceptions.

So you are anti-life and believe in the Bible?
It's always the left labeling their political opponents. It does get annoying. I support abortion rights because a dead baby goes to heaven.

How about a debate where you are pro-capitalism and my position is to find the failures of capitalism?
A debate would be where I'm pro capitalism and you anti-capitalism, ot where I say that I support capitalism and you then try to modify it to be more left wing.
5)I used to be pro life, but now I'm pro choice because if you kill the fetus, they go to heaven. If you let them live, they will probably go to hell according to the bible.Troll comment. Await an actual one.
How is this a troll comment?
There is also a way in which I want you to do debates. Remove the forfeits and put in place the first Round is for opening arguments. The other Rounds are for rebuttals which means we both have one extra Round for opening arguments but the same amount of Rounds for rebuttals.I said that. What is your response to it?
I don't care how people argue for the most part. I usually have a few rules but I wouldn't have it as structured as this.

1) I used to be a conservative, but I'm a libertarian now.
2) For the most part, yes.
3) I don't like Karl Marx but I don't know too much about him.
4) Trump is not my favorite president. Trump is a bad president since he has done some things that I don't agree with, like separating families and imposing tariffs. However, his tax code was a little good. He's good at combating the left which has gone so far left that they had to choose between someone who was enshrined in identity politics(Hillary) and a socialist(Bernie) who supports a maximum wage. Now, they have AOC who is more left then Sanders since she has spoken out against capitalism.
5)I used to be pro life, but now I'm pro choice because if you kill the fetus, they go to heaven. If you let them live, they will probably go to hell according to the bible.

I would enjoy debating you, but it would be too time consuming. I have an AP Chem test coming up and I have to study for it. I could debate you after May 9th. I don't think I'll be #1 by then. Ramshutu and oromagi are catching up to me fast.
What's your stance on guns? Do you want them all banned or just some of them?

How would we play? Will this be a live chat? When would we play? I think I have some questions about the game before I sign up, if I do.

@Ramshutu
my question was were you really genuinely asking why Type1 supports sending libertarians to the Gulag.
I was curious as to why he supported that. Is it wrong to be curious?

I don't think type1's side account is sparrow. They are too different. Sparrow is not a communist. Type1 is.

I don't like what he is saying, but as extreme as type1's views are, he should have the right to defend them if he wants.

Statistically, 20% of America is non religious(https://news.gallup.com/poll/1690/religion.aspx). This tends to be higher amongst younger people, who are more likely to use the internet.
I'm not sure if a majority of users of DART or other debating sites are secular.

The city is owned by Turkey and populated by Turks. If you retake the city, then Turkey would complain about it. How would you plan on retaking it?

Obama traded with Saudi Arabia too. We should get our oil from pro human rights countries. I want to lead by example, but I don't know how. Maybe I can only buy oil from companies that don't use Saudi oil.
