Still remembered the times before I came along this site where I saw no hope in DDO because no one votes so I just troll posting things like "gg u win haha lol fk" or so.
Meanwhile, literally the second forum post I have seen was an ad about something along the lines of a fleshlight.
R.I.P DDO. You will be remembered due to that we can't delete internet data, let alone even changing the glitchy debate function.

"On the fence"
Why is the topic statement this?
Also, sitting on the fence makes your butt hurt. Standing on the fence makes your legs sore.

If you, given the right to do everything, do only the correct things or as how "god" outlines it for you, then yes.
But we should not strive too much for it, albeit possible. No book should be fixed to dictate your life, nor any singular thought.

This country is less united for each decade since probably the 80's. Maybe even everything the president does there will be close to 50% people disagreeing that it wouldn't be different because people will still like it and people will still hate it.

Come on everyone, let's kill all those damn guns! After all, it is those guns that kill people!Let's get rid of all guns and invite Papa government into our homes so we can ensure that with advances in 3D printing that no one ever uses such technology to make a gun!
I can assure you this is not far from what happens in China. In fact, although 3d printing can make a gun in China, making a working model is simply illegal and warrants a jail sentence. If you post a gun model online that can shoot actual bullets and not just a collector's hobby model, believe it or not, someone will report it and you will get into jail.
Now, the question comes...What if the US enforces such system?

@TheMorningsStar
As satire as it is, guns are non-living, so we can't kill them.
Then, I think it is a pretty good decision to put restrictions on guns. Guns don't kill people, people kill people; but guns are one way people kill people and putting restrictions on guns can reduce the number of people killed.

There is not no composer. The computer composed and if anything, the programmer composed it by giving the computer essentially everything it could have used to compose, including liberties.
If you just put a bunch of bells outside a very busy marketplace and put a sign that people can play it no matter what time it is and record their sequence and just post that sequence online, there is not one composer for this piece of music.

No. That would be something like tyranny of the majority. We are encouraged to take down undefeated debaters because they are good and that would mean we are good too, not that they are any detrimental to the site. For actual good debaters like Barney, he didn't lose a debate here out of merit. We can't just unjustly vote against him then calling it just and fair.

Clearly you haven't been on r/AskReddit.
In r/AskReddit, there is a chance that they are unironically speaking, albeit little. However, in 4Chan, the chance approaches 100%, with a nonexistent chance that someone leaks the coordinates of a military base containing nukes.
I haven't asked anyone anything on 4Chan because that site is as toxic as it is. However, yes, I remember getting this on askreddit, probably sarcastic, but what if not.

When it becomes an enchilada.
Enchiladas are topographically identical to a burrito, so is a pie.
Where would you draw the line between is-a-burrito and not-a-burrito? Unless you are a crazy topographer, no one will enjoy taco like a sub sandwich, or a pie a burrito.
Would you consider this a taco, or a non-taco? Why? (But seriously, this looks better than one with tortilla, personally, regardless if it is taco or not)
When it becomes nutraloaf.
If something is clearly edible and meant to be eaten, why is it not food? What exactly counts as food?
Created:
I have seen thousands of cases of people saying that pineapple do not belong on pizzas, in fact, more than a hundred have reported that it would be a sin for pineapple to be unironically put on pizzas.
As well, from the Chinese side of media that I have access to, there has been reported japanese twists to a staple Sichuan spicy tofu dish, in which the domestic Chinese have too considered (such that) adding strawberries to it is a disgrace. In fact, then they expressed that they understood what the traditional Italians have felt when they see pineapple pizzas.
But the Hawaiians felt fine and does not consider the pineapple pizza a disgrace, well, for most of them probably.
Then there is nutraloaf. Made from kitchen waste probably(or the equivalent of), this is served in some prisons in the US. It is edible, but no one likes it.
So, what I am thinking is that when pineapple is put upon rolled pizza dough, it ceases to be pizza for some. When strawberries are put onto Sichuan tofu, it ceases to be Sichuan tofu for those who thinks so.
As someone who has a polar mind instead of a linear one, I have always tried to think of different combinations for food. For example, the Hot dog is structurally identical to a taco, so is a pie to a burrito. Well, topographically, and you have to think really hard, because absolutely no one, unless they have huge gaping mouths and are crazier than me in doing everyday things, would eat a pie like they eat burrito.
So, when does a burrito stop being a burrito? When does food stop being food? If a mixture of perfectly edible things is crafted to be something perfectly edible but is so pungent and unsettling when attempting to enjoy it, resulting that even was it edible, it simply wouldn't be eaten, is it even food anymore?
When does a taco become a non-taco? If I put sausage with mustard sauce instead of anything else in a tortilla, is it a taco, or is it a hot dog? If I use layers of tortilla to make a very thick but narrow deep dish pizza, is it a pizza, a pie, or a burrito? When does a kind of food becomes something else, and when does food become something else in general?

3. Undefeated DebatersUndefeated debaters are a plague to this site, and should no longer exist. I am quite reminiscent of the day conservative and formerly more active user Fruit_Inspector destroyed one of them in a previous debate, and am eager to replicate that same sucess regardless of whether or not I am debating.
It is true that people would be encouraged to take down undefeated debaters because it in itself would be an achievement, but they are not a plague to the site. It just means they know what they are doing and can win.

I believe they just used the church or religion as an upholding device to anything they think is good tradition, even if Jesus wouldn’t have liked it.

But if you look it another way, there is only the second one I can do. I am not a woman, so I can't commit abortions. The closest I can be to that is to be a clinic doctor, but even that is aiding, not committing.
I would rather do something I would not want to do, rather than something I can't do.

Robbing the rich to give to the poor? We have a term for that, progressive taxing.
To literally ROB the rich to give it to the poor would be unauthorized which would eventually deviate from what the country think is good.
If the country itself is evil though, in this sense, it is another thing altogether.

Evil is subjective.
And the problem of Evil is attempting to demonstrate that it is not possible for God to be perfectly good, or at least impossible to prove.

@RationalMadman
- When 'transitioning gender' one is actually transitioning the characteristics of their physical body (HRT and operation). That is mimicking the sex, not the gender of the one they want to mimic. To mimic the gender, they'd only need to mimic haircuts, clothing, ways of talking and acting as well as hobbies and interests associated with the other gender.
Some trans folk do this. They do not have surgery, and they are biologically classified by their sex, and not their gender, which their sex is still unchanged but the behavior began to shift.
I think that just making the gender match the sex would generally add to the whole experience. Transgenderism just adds to the experience, probably.

I don’t fancy this because I can see someone literally being the head mod while actually being a dead user who left after 2 debates. This would cause shortages in moderation as mods would be transferred to non-mods as appeared and why would people believe someone saying they are mods and nothing else.

@Polytheist-Witch
Ok, there must be a sauce.
Therefore, technically cottage cheese or just cheese or any kind could be smothered on the pizza and call it a sauce as long as it can be spread.
Which basically means that putting cheese and nothing else on a pizza crust counts.
Try to prove to me that cheese is not a sauce. I mean, I have eaten white cheese pizzas in NYC for years and enjoyed it. How is that a selling produce clearly marketed as a pizza is actually not a pizza?

If it cannot be proven that what is considered "Science" is true, then it is not science.

Why are we focused on users instead of the stuff they output?
OK, If Whiteflame has posted fascist stuff, he appears to be one, not that he is one. If he does not post fascist stuff, he appears to not be one, not ever saying he is.
If there is no evidence, just disregard them as if they need to be regarded anyways. If there is a dragon in my backyard that can't do anything and takes up no measurable and tangible space, then what is the difference between it and a lack of any dragon at all?

I know this proposal sounds stupid but can we stop use skin colors to categorize races? Literally in some photos Trump is darker than Obama, and Trump is "white" and Obama is a "black president". If you are exposed to sunlight or just have genes of some sort, then you may be darker. Using skin colors to categorize races is inaccurate.
Yeah, it may sound like ass, but if so, why?

Yes if it makes me healthy.
However, the oxygen that is being reduced is not oxygen gas, it is the oxygen element in some other compound that makes humans unhealthy. Oxygen is not a toxic gas. It is just an element that is present within some toxic molecules.

I pity those people that do not completely understand the properties of Oxygen. Still, Oxygen is beneficial at low concentrations and only becomes harmful in high concentrations. Carbon monoxide is already harmful at any concentration.
