I hate everyone equally, which is close to zero. (declaring war on every nation is being equally peaceful to them, which is close to zero)

I am new to this thread, but everyone is unvaccinated at least at one point in their life. They can't just give the vaccine to everyone at the moment they are produced due to that, you know, cars don't travel at the speed of light, nor do planes or trains or trucks that transport them.
I think the term you are looking for is "Does not want to be vaccinated voluntarily". There are people that are too poor to afford Vaccines. They probably costs hundreds of US dollars.

If you think someone that sleep with children is not fit to represent a religion that you will believe in, then don't. There are others that do, and Muhammad is more dimensional than just being a pedophile.

Attracted to men? I don't think this is how it works. If you are over puberty and cannot change your genes then we don't have a way, sorry.
Even then, you can have sex with men. You don't have to be "attracted to them". If having sex with men is comfortable, then try it. If it is no longer comfortable, then stop. You have the right to choose, I mean, you don't live in Afghanistan.

How to determine what you think is truth is actually truth, or does it matter at all even?

So what? The Quran was written back then when this was acceptable. If it wasn't acceptable, the faith would have drained out long ago. Let's just let the fundamental ideas pass, the outdated ones sifted through, and move on. We get to decide which ones are applicable or not, and it would be best if we debate out if this idea is outdated or not, instead of questioning what someone did in the past(especially in a time period when it is probably acceptable). I am no expert but Muhammad didn't make people of all time periods marry more than one wife. Exactly. In my opinion, this is an outdated idea and should not be actively endorsed. Just look at it as a part of history.

Ironically, likes are so rare on this site, you rarely even get one unless your post is very clever. Like buttons on this place are actually more of a "based" button, where for each like you have, you get an anonymous comment that says "based".

Also, I still don't get it. Why not just let them stay home and/or not provide certain services until they get the vaccine?
Why are people afraid of the vaccine in the first place?

Can we agree on that the purpose of isolating the unvaccinated is to not let them infect others or to be infected, and not to imprison them?

imo home confinement is OK. For the hell of it, I am in one now, and they don't cut off internet access so I can debate people and watch TV.

Apartment isolation is a good idea because the disease won't show up if you are negative alone. Concentration camps is a crowded place and if one of them is positive, all of them will be in a span of a day or so because it is so crowded. As much as masks work, they aren't Captain America's shield.
Or, I suppose, you could make vaccines illegal, and then unvax. people will be put in a special kind of concentration camp called "prison". Even then, you'd have to put everyone in solitary confinement, which is less enjoyable than if you just leave them in their house.

As a person with generally centrist beliefs(on America, that is), there is absolutely NO WAY this is profitable or would even work. We just stay home if we aren't vaccinated and public service(such as trains and buses) can't let us ride it along if we don't have vaccine or COVID test. And if you ask, yes, faking a vaccine proof is illegal and is punishable by weeks or so in a jail, not even mentioning the 2-week quarantine before and after it, making life non-productive and you just don't want to do it.
Created:
You would have like tens of millions of people in concentration camps, if you find every last one of them. If you don't find every last one of them, then it is basically a nerfed version of what it actually is before. We don't even consider how difficult it actually is to just find everyone that is unvaccinated, there WILL be people that are willing to be at large while running away in order to both not receive Vaccines and not be put in concentration camps. IDK about other nations but this doesn't seem like something that will work in America.

Well, there must be ambiguity if I don't give enough specifications?
First, natural things must be from nature. You can't violate the law of mass conservation and tell us it is natural.
Second, natural things must not be processed beyond recognition. A raw board of iron oxide is natural because we can see that we mined it and we put it together, but a processed dense board of steel is not because nature does not often add carbon and chromium to iron itself.
Third, Natural things must not be manually invented or created by an organism(other than cellular growth, birth, etc) or another unnatural thing. A zebra is natural because it has undergone evolution. A gun is not because we produce it in our factories. Unless animals can suddenly grow guns(not just organic tubes, they also have to look exactly like what we use as guns), then guns are not natural.

Yes, because the material is not mutated beyond recognition. Animal hide is natural because you can see that it is from nature. But if I just compress a bunch of animal hide together to form a giant bulk of assorted materials and covered with a thick layer of chalk, you wouldn't even recognize it until we tell you.

It depends on the material. If this material does not look like it can evolve in nature, we don't consider it natural.
Like. We don't see random 100 ton chunks of iron being polished and formed in the shape of a rectangle in the middle of the desert.

@GnosticChristianBishop
Imagine if you are a young boy and there are all kinds of drag queens and buff dudes... that leads you to think men are actually attractive. I believe genes just give you an overall trend, but if the society is so recommending you(m) to marry with women instead of falling in love with fellow men, you end up with women. In many cultures back in the days, such brainwashing actually works.
I know changing sexuality is basically impossible after puberty, but instilling bias when a child is young definitely can change who he prefers. Not saying it is good, it isn't, but it is possible in society.

Don't you get it? It was an inconsiderate spread of false and malicious messages. The police had done nothing wrong and while this may seem a little harsh, the man held at interrogation is mostly at fault.
Or unless you just hate rules and want to be an anarchist.

What would you even call "scientific nonsense"? Scientists trying to experiment with quantum physics and end up with different things each time?
If it is scientific nonsense, it is nothing at all, unless it is a derivative, in which "It is impossible to find sense within xxx...".

Well, I am pretty comfortable speaking about this. It isn't even illegal to watch so-called "banned shows" here, it is just that it might be taken down and TV channels can't air them. People make videos about those series all the time and it is legal to do so, you just can't watch it on popular platforms because they got taken down. You get no penalties for watching it, they just don't give it to you. However, by restricting any official display of some shows, they have made such fandoms smaller than they relatively are in the west, and they are just less popular.

Pirates of the Caribbean is banned because it is illegal to depict ghosts in China.
I am no expert on law but who did you see for whatever this is. This is a movie with a lot of fanbase. Ghost-depicting local works(such as old-school horror stories) are not banned and excerpts are included on the textbook.
Babe is banned because it illegal to depict talking animals in China.
Zootopia is not banned.
I think by "banned" they just means they can't air it on official platforms. Movie theatres can't air banned movies and TV channels can't air banned shows. As of what I have seen, those "banned shows" have achieved actually a huge fanbase because the government does not care about unofficial platforms like Bilibili. The government don't actually care so much about it, they merely released enough restrictions to convey the message of "I don't like this".

It is notions like "Listen to the science" that got people mislead. No, using your ears to get information is highly unreliable because there are so many conmen that use non-authentic evidence to fool people and we wouldn't notice it right hand.
No, no, look at the science. There, you will be able to distinguish between authentic and non-authentic work by just looking at it.

4chanPornhub comments sectionTinderGrindr
All of these sites are known to have not-so-rational people.
For Twitter, yeah, either they will say "Civil discussions are so last century" or just plague our site.
For 4chan, yeah, according to stereotypes that are somewhat true, many of them will be banned.
For pornhub, Why exactly would they be suddenly into debating after fapping? This is as effective as an elevator pitch trying to convince me to attend sunday church meetings in a normal regular old Burger King drive through store.
For tinder and grindr, yeah, why would they suddenly be in debating(especially in this level) on a mostly dating website? Ineffective too, I suppose.
I have tagged DART on reddit comments and instagram comments(and even youtube and Chinese networks) and all I got was skeptical looks thinking I was some kind of ad bot.
Created:
I think if this site appears on Google, that's a huge fucking start. Edeb8 is there, so can't be too difficult.
Considering the amount of unexperienced people on the internet, noob sniping will be more and more common because people will start to instigate debates as soon as they get an account, then lose because they are new.
I don't know, I get clapped with 1 year of experience on DDO at the start and it isn't until 3 months with this site later did my skill increase measurably.
I mean, I would like to advertise this site only to people who are really interested. There are already many users that accept one debate, and then leave with an FF loss. And no, I don't think this is what they want to see.

Why would COVID vaccines ever need to be advertised? People who want the vaccine ought to just leave(because those aren't even ads, those are free reminders, they want you to take the vaccine, not to buy) their houses to take it, and people who don't can just bitch about it quitely or shut their mouths up.

What does it mean to, "hoard Guangzhou"?
Many illegal immigrants lived in Guangzhou back then, and they cause problems. They stole from shops and caused damages. The locals disliked them and wished them away. Most of the people here do not hate black people. They are OK with people such as Nelson Mandala and such. They just hate when illegal immigrants unnecessarily cause damage, which is probably why they are illegal immigrants.
If you are living in a blue county and you don't like the undocumented strongly, move to a red county. If you live in a red county and you want more undocumented immigrants because you think it's good for the country and you really want to have more of it, move to a blue county.
Well, why are they undocumented yet still here in the first place? I may be a newbie as to the American Legal system, but if the counties are free to choose which side to take, then why is it not that blue counties have the service to register and recognize these people, while the red ones do not provide such services?

Don't get me wrong, I don't actually believe in an actual deity, but the problem of evil isn't sufficient evidence that God doesn't exist. It just disproves a god that has perfectly aligned morals with the general populous of humans on Earth.

Well, I never had a debate specifically on the problem of evil, but I am pretty sure that we can just imagine that everything God does are good no matter what we think about it.
Like when my mom sent me to a camp for the first time and I was crying all the time before the experience and that was actually good? Yeah like that, but on a much larger scale.

I am disconnected on American issues for many months, however, I do know that black immigrants used to hoard Guangzhou and now the Chinese in vicinity are inclined to hate them not because they are racist, but because the African immigrants cause troubles.
Well, I might not be qualified enough to speak on this issue, but illegal immigrants ought to be deported, because they are illegal. If they actually help the nation, just loosen the law.
