I did have a response to post 9 but OP just blocked me for disagreeing with them so I will leave it at what I said in post 8.

Read more carefully. These are not claims he is making. He is making suggestions for change. You're basically saying "that is not how it should be because that isn't how it is now", which is silly.

Unmoderated meaning points dont count, doesnt add to rating.
The word you are looking for is 'unrated'.
So when my opponent realizes that my arguments are superior and their position is simply wrong they can just abruptly forfeit the debate in order to not lose rating? No thanks.
Created:
When you say unmoderated do you mean that there should be no votes on debates which end in forfeit?

If there was a downvote feature I may have used it on you to protest your narcissistic indulgence.
That would also work! I like this idea.

I think the ability to upvote ones one forum post should be eliminated if possible. I never put the first upvote on any of my posts but whenever I am reviewing a thread and I see that someone liked one of my posts I feel a weird compulsion to bring it to 2 likes just so nobody thinks the first like was mine. Like, I assume that anyone who sees one of my posts with a single like will assume I liked my own post so I bring it to 2 just to show "yes actually someone did like my post, even if you assume one was from me if it is at 2 you know I was liked by someone else at least once. Validation!"
So, if you ever see a post of mine with 1 like it was not me but if there are multiple likes chances are high (though less than 100%) that at least one was mine.
This would not really change much so if it would be a pain feel free to leave it but if it doesn't require much coding effort it would be worth it to help with my psychological conditioning to leave a second like on all my liked posts. Thanks.

Nobady said anything should go uncorrected. This thread is not about whether errors should be corrected.
Let's stay on topic. The topic of this thread is whether we ought to do away with the S&G point in debates.
OP thinks we should.
Therefore if you disagree with the OP then you think we should keep the S&G point.
So what is your reasoning for wishing to keep the S&G point?

Everyone understands what you mean when you say 2+2=5, I doubt many would agree with you though.
That isn't a grammar error that's simply making a false claim.

@triangle.128k
Nowhere did I deny that it was not for religious reasons. What I did say, however, was that those religious reasons were stupid and contradictory.
1) I did not say I agree with the reasons, I just said they exist.
2) I did say that I disagree with those reasons at least once possibly more than once.
3) Please compare post 57 and post 46. Specifically the "definitely not for religious reasons" part of post 46. Please write a short (1-2 sentences) of how these posts compare and get back to me.

@triangle.128k
I never denied they don't support for religious reasons.
This conversation started with me saying "it is for religious reasons" (44) and you saying "No definitely not" (46)
So, uhhh... yeah. That's all I have to say about that lmao.

It's surreal the attention paid to polluting the environment by small degrees as we give a pass to the casual poisoning and polluting of our bodies that halves a person's lifespan
Do you really think that it is impossible to want those things to change and also want renewable energy at the same time or are you just pretending to think that?

After reading the above you might say "Those people are supporting Israel for religious reasons but I disagree with those reasons". It would be perfectly valid for you to say that. In fact it is exactly what I would say.
However
After reading the above you might say "Those people are supporting Israel for entirely non-religious reasons". This would not be logical to say because it is so clearly and blatantly untrue.
Do you understand what I am saying?

@triangle.128k
Can you account for the fact that supporters of Israel in the west tend to be more religious while their detractors in the west tend to be less religious?
You can deny that Christians support Israel for religious reasons, the problem with this denial is that you would be incorrect.

Life is eternity (3 parts)
Life is eternity
How can eternity be
So brief and bittersweet
Life is eternity
One spends it with oneself, alone
Doomed to desire more
Life is eternity
My eternal loneliness
Is finite after all

You are right Jews are not the religious majority in the west, Christians are. Some of the more fanatical elements of Christianity have decided to fulfill some prophecy or other about gods chosen people returning to the promised land.

Why we continue to back Israel and their actions while continuing out fuckery in the Middle East is beyond me
It really is 100% a religion thing. See posts 6 and 38 for example.

The question was whether you expected this reply because...
A. The call-out policy has been changed to allow call-out threads with the consent of the target.
or
B. You made an exception in this case.
Tell it to me A or B.

@Barney
This is a thread aimed at you, to which I give you the choice if you would like it shut down as a call-out thread or not.
Is this a new policy for call-outs or are you making an exception in this case because you favor this call-out in particular and know that ramdatt will not respond, thus allowing the thread by default?

Why would I discuss it after the IQ test. If I am some idiot spouting nonsense I should be easy to beat, so why have a problem. adopting the belief system of somebody smarter than you, if it is impossible?

Feel free to make a thread advertising the event if you wish. As I said I will be available in May.

Also disc anyone who disagrees with me is wrong and therefore a retard.
1) This is flawed
2) Even if this is not flawed it is still possible to disagree with you that millions died of famine yet agree with you that government control should be limited.
We should both take an IQ test
I am willing to make this part of the agenda for our Discord meetup, old friend.
and if you win, I will adopt all your beliefs because you are a better thinker than me, but if I win, you have to believe what I tell you. This is only fair since higher IQ people are better at thinking
We may discuss this after the IQ test if you wish.

Also I am willing to do a live debate on discord on that specific subject at 10pm eastern on a voice channel.
I am willing to accept this challenge but I have work tonight so 10 pm eastern tonight would not be ideal.
I propose that we cease this forum conversation and pick it up again sometime in May in a live discussion as you propose. Would you like to make it a public event or just you and I?

<br>Would you like to debate whether poor people have a higher fertility rate than upper class people?
That is not the claim which supports the conclusion in the OP and is also not a claim which I have disagreed with.
The claim which supports the conclusion in the OP which I have said I disagree with is the claim that birth rates were higher in the 30s than the 20s.
Therefore I decline your debate challenge on two grounds, those being lack of relevancy and lack of disagreement.
To follow up I would issue you a challenge on a topic that is actually relevant to the OP. Would you like to debate whether the birth rate was higher in the 30s than the 20s?

When did you become a commie libtard who defends government controlling everything anyway?
I imagine your train of thought is this:
- I am saying that millions died of famine in the thirties.
- Discipulus disagrees with that claim.
- Therefore Discipulus disagrees with me on everything I say
- I am saying that government should not control everything
- Commie libtards disagree with that claim.
- Therefore Discipulus disagrees that government should not control everything and is a commie libtard.
Does that sound about right or do you have an actual real-life example of a post where I advocate for more government control?

Nah, pretending to take trolls seriously is fun in cases like Alec where their trolling is incredibly obvious but they are still easily convinced that they successfully fooled everyone, I don't really see the point with you though. It just wouldn't be fun.
