Yes, of course.
However, are females disadvantaged when it comes to daily interactions with society?

Whoa.. dude, slow down!
Did you do a debate on this? Or did you get this from some other place?
Also, could I use this information for myself?

Interesting point - minimum wage should be local
I thought they had that in America? They do in Canada

Before I watched this video, I was a normal person, and I thought the minimum wage was a good thing. However, I watched a podcast on JRE, and here'a clip of a specific section that caught my eye:
Now I'm kinda sitting on the fence. I'm trying to do my own research on this topic to learn more about it. What do you guys think?
Oh, and Peter Schiff - he's a leading economist that's in the top 1%, and was the few who predicted the 2008 stock market crash.

2 genders and sexes, no switching or in between. That's what some people believe.
Others say that there are 2 sexes, but more than 2 genders.
What do you guys think?

Yeah, no I'm really confused. I guess my stance on this topic is the way it is because I just feel like it. I know that's not really a "fair" reason why, but I believe that a new theory can only be accepted if there is proof to it.
It's just like how some religious people are very reluctant to change their beliefs, even through they are clearly wrong. I guess that's like how I think. I'm also more worried about other issues, not this. I feel like that if I were interested in this topic, then my reasoning would change. I don't give this topic much thought.
However you do have an interesting point on this topic.

A couple weeks ago, Iran shot down a plane and killed like 57 Canadians. So should Trudeau have taken military action?

Okay, interesting post.
I have to be perfectly honest with you, I have very little knowledge in neuroscience or the stuff we're talking about. So, if you're getting confused like I am, just ignore the rest, but focus on this part...
Unless there is proof otherwise (which to my understanding there isn't), we are the only things in the Universe that are the way we are (consciousness, awareness, or whatever you want to call it). The rest of space are just a bunch of atoms floating aimlessly around.
Also about the universe being one life form, are you referring to something similar to the Gaia theory? And if you are, then no. I don't think so.
Like I said before, unless there is proof otherwise, then we are the only beings out there like this. No Creator, or Gaia, or anything else.
I believe in this highly due to the fact that our current Science disproves this, and that there is no evidence out there to support it.
I wish that I was more educated on this topic to give you a more detailed answer, and perhaps we could even start a debate on this, but I'm not. Sorry

Did you also see the funny video about Trump in 2011 criticizing Obama for dealing with Iran poorly? It's so funny!

Iran's a joke to the US
Remember what America did to Japan? Japan only took down like 3 boats, and then they got the Sun dropped on them, twice!

So to answer your question about consciousness/awareness, I think that consciousness can only be derived from having a brain, and a brain can only be in a species, like us. So I don't think energy fields could have a consciousness. Also, energy fields in general can be simplified to atomic particles, and sometimes even smaller. Energy in a sense is measurable, and observable (well, not now, but in the future possibly). It's like air. We can't see it, but we can measure it, observe it in some ways, and therefore know what it is.
And the thing about God. I think what you mean is that God isn't intelligent life (like us), but rather just energy with a consciousness. However, like I said before, energy is measurable, and observable. This means that we can track individual "energy units." This I believe contradicts the theory of God.

I think I know what you're saying, but that's where I disagree. I think Science doesn't support that belief of consciousness. No being can be like that.

Yes. True. Iran can't do anything against America. Even if they launch a terrorist attack, Trump's gonna go full retaliation.

Ha ha! I live in Canada however! If Iran tries to Nuke us, our cold weather will deactivate the missiles, and our igloo defense mechanism will stop any missiles from entering.
However, I don't think Trump did this on purpose. I think this is how the missiles got launched:
Trump: "Siri, how many miles did I ran today?"
Siri: "Okay, sending missiles to Iran today."

Last one didn't go well for me. It appears that I'm just too busy in life with this. So it would be a no this time.
Although, who won last time?

$200 billion's too much. Way way too much. That's like a third of the military's budget! Instead of increasing NASA's budget a ton, we should focus on collaborating with private companies, and working with them. It's already happening, and has expanded the space sector a ton.

1. I like the freedom of it, you can do whatever you want. It's also cool to see a bunch of lines on a computer create something. I'm also trying out game design with Unreal, and so far I love it!
2. To me, I don't think they can be compatible. I think Science can prove everything, and it can disprove religion/creator. Now obviously science can't definitely prove everything yet, but I think it can and will in the future for sure. I also think being raised an atheist helped to cement my beliefs.

Nice of you to notice! However I don't know an exact value for their budget increase. A couple more billion should be fine, probably a little more than 30 billion. I still need to do more research on how they spend their budget exactly.

I'm a little uneducated on impeachment, so bear with my stupidity for a while...
What happens if he is fully impeached and removed from office? Will there be a immediate re-election, or will the country be on standby waiting for the 2020 election?

That's just a coincidence. Let me explain.
Why are firetrucks red?
Because they have eight wheels and four people on them, and four plus eight makes twelve, and there are twelve inches in a foot, and one foot is a ruler, and Queen Elizabeth was a ruler, and Queen Elizabeth was also a ship, and the ship sailed the seas, and there were fish in the seas, and fish have fins, and the Finns fought the Russians, and the Russians are red, and fire trucks are always “Russian" around.

This thread is confusing
I heard mentions about conjoined twins...
I also heard questions regarding the number of hearts a human has...
The topic of forced organ donations also came up- what!? That's not a thing!
Imagine being forced to donate your hand!?
Anyway, this is getting out of hand. Sorry.
-------------------------------------------------
Abortion.
Should be legal. Here are the arguments I heard.
Pro-Life
- Saves "lives"
Pro-Choice
- Women should do what they want with their own body
- Some women can't handle having a child for various reasons
So the argument for pro-life is that you're basically a baby. Well first, after 20 weeks, a baby develops a consciousness, so I guess that should be the real debate? However I'm still undecided about abortion after 20 weeks.
However, before 20 weeks? Who cares? Let women make their own decisions! There should be no incentive for men to tell women what to do with their own bodies. Zero! Non! Nein! Negative! Alpha! Zucchini! Zei! Walkabo! Vaseline!
And for the people that say how the fetus is separate from the women body, no it's not. And even if it is (playing devil's advocate here). Does it change anything is a fetus is killed? And if the women is unprepared for a baby, then it'll make it worse.

Well, whenever the first art of that type appeared. I don't really consider "Modern Art" as an exact definition, rather I just call any art that is "simple" in design modern art. However is there a term for those kinds of art?
