inevitably consume the country in more debt
Right, as opposed to all those politicians that are doing everything they can to make the country in less debt.
Like, uh...

Nevermind.

I was going to finish the above post by saying "how sad" but I realized that could be interpreted as the OP making me sad when in reality I meant that I felt sad for those who choose such a path for themselves and am not the least bit sad for myself or those that choose the path of broad and powerful language.
Changing one single word did that. Just another subtle example of a wider vocabulary being used to increase the precision of an idea being conveyed.

Seems many of the new kids are making posts about how they are pissed off at people "using big words".
Why do so many people wish to limit the possibilities presented by a diverse language? Language is the only means... the ONLY means... that we have available to convey knowledge and ideas. To limit ones vocabulary is to limit both of these things.
How pathetic.

Because the believer comes to saving knowledge of Christ through the work of the Holy Spirit upon the hearing of the Word. It's not a process that can be accomplished by a government.
Change the word "government" to "church". Is this quote still true?

Problem: The habit of consuming more than is produced simply because people are physically able to do so causes massive public debt.
Solution: Stop doing that.

Bigotry manifesting as active opposition to something is probably best defined by using the "Anti" prefix, as suggested by Dr Franklin.
We should invent a new word to be the equivalent of "racism" for religions.
I understand your "anti" proposition but it simply doesn't cover what I am asking in my question.
Let me demonstrate:
A person who is anti-black is racist.
A person who is anti-female is sexist.
A person who is anti-hindu is______???

What some of these retards seem to thing worker-owned company means:
Stock is owned only by employees and all employees own the same amount of stock.
What worker-owned company actually means in real life:
Stock is owned only by employees.

@User_2006
Reason1: Workers already have tiring jobs, and they should not also manage new things.
Part ownership of a company does not require one to put any effort into managing said company.
I am a partial owner of Amazon, Home Depot, Marathon Petroleum, and a dozen or so other companies. I was at one time a partial owner of many many other companies.
I have put zero effort into managing any of these companies, despite being a partial owner.
Whoever told you that being a partial owner requires you to put effort into managing a company has lied to you.

That term only applies to Christians. I made it clear in my post that I was asking for a term that denotes bigotry against religions in general and only used Christianity as an example. For instance "racism" denotes bigotry against a race or races but does not denotes which particular race or races is the target of said bigotry.
Does such a term not exist then?

The end result for me will be that I will only go into the religion and DART boards and ignore the other boards unless I get a notification from one of them.
Don't worry about this, this is Ethangs normal behavior anyway. Do consider putting the hot topics and recent topics at the top of the page though.

No issues encountered yet and like I said honestly the hot topics and recent topics are a fine replacement for that extra crap anyway (at least in my opinion).

What do you mean decrease in provided information?
The previous version listed the last bumped thread for each forum as well as who bumped it and when. Like I said I was largely undecided on how I felt about it at the time but have since decided that info is largely irrelevant in light of the 'hot topics' and 'new topics' features. I would like to see those two features bumped to the top though.
Please note all feedback from me regarding this is specifically about the mobile version. I have not accessed the site on a computer since the big change.

Is triangle right? Are you under the impression that manager is a synonym for owner?
If the answer to the above is yes, quick follow-up questions... Is English your second or your third language and have you ever had a job?

@triangle.128k
I think the false assumption people have here is associating worker-owned companies as some communitarian structure.
Okay... This is a really odd association to make and I have trouble understanding why anyone who speaks English as a first language would make such an association but this theory would explain some of WPs posts.

Why are you on this debate site doing something rather than nothing?
Perhaps your tolerance of boredom is higher than mine, this is quite possible. If you wish to convince someone that your tolerance for boredom is infinite however then you will have to find someone a lot dumber than myself.

@zedvictor4
I skimmed through your post... Something about materialism and habit forming behaviors... Not sure what that has to do with boredom. Simply not seeing g the relevance.
When people are forced into house arrest they become bored due to lack of stimuli.
This is how humans work.

This is a debate site. Starting a debate on a topic will likely end in someone debating that topic with you.
If you don't want to debate then stick to the forums.

You're just putting together random words at this point.
Name one organization that doesn't have managers. Name one company that isn't run by workers. Name one company that isn't owned by someone.

Things are pretty good Sunday through Thursday... Then the weekend comes around and my employer say "ehhh I don't want you showing up Friday or Saturday because I don't want you working more than 60 hours a week"
Like, wtf am I supposed to do all day Friday and Saturday then if I am not allowed outside
You tell me.
What the fuck.
I am supposed to do.
Sitting in my house.
Not allowed to hit the town.
Because government.
Not allowed to hang out with a group of people.
Because government.
Can't buy big items that I need from hardware store to keep me busy on the house.
Imagine just... Sitting there.
For two days.
In a row.
Every.
Single.
Week.
Can you imagine that?
Just try to imagine that.

What I am saying is that large organizations have managers. This includes but is not limited to companies. Who owns the organization is not relevant to that point.

if everyone else is fine and doing their job and you're the only one slacking off who's gonna fire you?
Depends.
Shitty labor laws and shitty management = Nobody fires you.
Shitty labor laws and good management = Nobody fires you.
Good labor laws and shitty management = If you suck dick nobody fires you, if you don't then management gires you.
Good labor laws and good management = Your manager fires you.

Except for the toilet paper riots.
Problem: I want to have a 10 year supply of toilet paper but the grocery store is only letting me buy 12 rolls at a time.
Proposed solution #1: Buy 12 rolls per day for the next week.
Proposed solution #2: Wait until the restrictions lift and buy your 10 year supply then.
Proposed solution #3 (recommended): Stop wanting to own a 10 year supply of toilet paper.

<br>My bad, I was under the impression you "didn't" save for emergencies and wasn't working and your solution for the next 30 days to get money was to save for emergencies while having no income.
You asked for a solution to the "living paycheck to paycheck" problem and I provided one. Pretty simple.

If you are referring to the character limit then no there is no way to change that after a debate begins. You and your opponent both get the same limitations.
You may ask your opponent for permission to use a Google doc to bypass the character limit but doing so without express written permission from your opponent would be very bad conduct (because, again, they have the same limits you do) and most voters would rightfully give your opponent the win for such a hypothetical breach of etiquette.
If you are not talking about character limit and I have somehow misunderstood your question please clarify and tag me and I shall try to provide a better answer.

@ethang5
Then they aren't making such a point either. Their position is incoherent because without the assumption, there is no contradiction with the OP's point.And I still see no internal inconsistency.
The topic of this conversation is not whether the problem of evil is a valid argument. The topic of this conversation is whether 'problem 3' in the OP is actually a problem.
In the OP you say that people making the problem of evil argument are assuming objective evil must exist in order to make their argument, which is incompatible with moral relativism. Your quote where you make this point:
The force of this objection rests upon moral evil being real and some things being objectively wrong... If evil is real, then so is absolute good, which means moral relativism is false.
If they were actually making this assumption then you would be right. What I am doing is pointing out that they are not making such an assumption.
