I don't think that turning humans into burgers is a good idea because it infringes on the rights of those being slaughtered. Eventually, we won't have to slaughter farm animals because of lab grown meat. That project is in progress.

Which amendment is more valuable, the 1st or the 2nd?

Basically. More people means more people to provide/produce valuable services and goods.

Some labor is worth something, like every job. Would you rather have the parts for an Iphone or an actual Iphone?

All wealth is based off of scarce raw resources
If this were true, then someone's labor would be worthless. But labor is not worthless.
which includes landspace
Due to labor, land space can actually increase. An example would be building apartment buildings. You get more land from building upwards.
If wealth was created from more population. It would be called underpopulation. Not overpopulation.
Overpopulation is present in some parts of the world like India and China. However, some would say under population is present in the west, which is partly why there is so much immigration to the west. If wealth isn't created from population, then why does the GDP per capita of countries generally go up as the population goes up?

In your first post out of my samples, you were posting hate mail towards right wingers.
In your second post, you were posting hate mail at a user.
In your third post, you were posting hate mail towards religious people.

To name a few:
1) https://www.debateart.com/forum/topics/703 1st post. Your quote is:
Read this story and weep if you are not a religious rightwingnut, and cheer if you are a misogynist religious rightwingnut.
2) Same thread post 32:
Did someone hack your account and type lies? LOL
I know you think it's hateful that people refuse to call you a christianophobe but that is just your mental condition. Anyone that believes in gods and religion has mental health problems, you asked me if that's what I think and I affirmed it was.
Calling people names like saying they have a mental condition is basically hate mail.

I side with RM on this. People should have as many debates as they want.

@Wrick-It-Ralph
America has survived with differing cultures since it's genesis and so have a lot of societies in fact.
These societies assiliminate within American society. The illegal Hispanics are not assiliminating within society. They tend to not learn English. Many don't want to. Historically, it has been significantly different. We have had immigration waves previously but when they happened, there were many different nationalities coming. Intercultural marriage and reproduction was common and the children tended to feel more American then let's say Polish or Italian. The Hispanics are different. When their Nations interbreed( example is a Mexican marrying a Dominican), the offspring tend to feel more Hispanic instead of just American. This becomes problematic when unassimilated Hispanics made up a majority of certain states. Currently this is not the case. I don't think any state in the Union has a illegal immigrant majority, not even states like California and Texas. Once they make up an overwhelming majority, then that would be as likely to break away as PR, and many Puerto Ricans voted to be a freely associated country. They cite cultural differences.
Forced assilimination is called part of the legal process. Forced assilimination when the group can break away is called keeping the country together.

I heard that there are only 4000 words or so to learn. Learning languages are hard for me. I'm better at math.

If you want to eliminate statues of white supremacists, that should include Lincoln. Snopes says he was a white supremacist.

I think a policy should be that the votes should not require a RFD because they don't help or hurt either debator. Can you extend the deadline of this forum because 48 hours isn't enough time to get the votes in. Try a week's worth of time.

Raw materials aren't the only source of wealth. The parts of electronics are cheap but the finished product is worth more. Wealth is generated. It's partly why most countries have a higher GDP now then they did 10 years ago.

If poverty is the result of overpopulation, then why do cities have a high GDP per capita while being more overpopulated then the rural areas?

If that is the case why isn't every single Muslim committing illegal activity in western countries they have immigrated to?
A considerable portion back the violence. Even Linda Sarsour, who is American supports Shariah law.
So you are for big government?
Shariah law is big government. I don't want that infecting Europe.
If the Muslims like Shariah law so much, why can't they go back to their original country? At this time in history, Islam is violent, radical, and incompatible with the west.
But they are assimilated so why kick them out for not liking "western values"?
I know I'm going to go off topic but is your logic the following:
-Calling a homosexual a derogatory slur, hate speech that must be banned.
-Supporting Shariah law, which kills homosexuals, totally okay, free speech.
What are western values and is it still western values if everyone in the west doesn't share it?
-Women's right to autonomy in general. This includes:
-letting them vote
-date whomever they want
-not whipping them for being out in public without a male relative
-counting their testimony equal to that of a man
-letting a woman have sexual autonomy. This doesn't mean letting them have abortions, but it means that if a guy wants to have sex with her, the woman has the right to say no, even if that male is her husband. Under shariah law, if your husband wants sex, you have to give him sex. If the guy rapes you, you have to marry him under shariah law.
-Freedom of religion as long as it does not harm others. The Muslims want to harm the Christian population and they would do so once they make up a bigger portion of Europe's population. It's happening in Muslim countries. Hundreds of Churches have been burned in the typical Muslim country.
-More rights for homosexuals. This doesn't mean full blown marriage equality (although I support that) but it does mean that you are not giving gays the death penalty for being gay. No Christian country kills people just for being gay. Many Muslim countries kill people for being gay.
-Separation of Religion and state. Sudan adopted Shariah within it's constitution.
Also, the Muslims are making Paris and London a mess. As Donald Trump once said, "Paris is no longer Paris". They even had to build a wall around the Effiel Tower to prevent it from getting destroyed by Muslims.

I consider RatMan very generous and I raise a toast to his long reign as Top Dog- I'm sure he'll be Top Dog again soon enough.
I don't think he is on the site much anymore. As of the time of this comment, he hasn't been on the site in 2 days.

They don't assimilate. Those Muslims that posted those comments praising the burning of the Cathedral should be deported to their home country. Muslims that don't accept western values should not be in the west.

I don't like playing Devil's advocate unless I think it would be an easy win.
My definition of fair is the playing field factoring in only skill. Even though I am #1, I'm not confident in my debating abilities especially since school is coming up.
