To be fair, I am happy that I can debate people here, critique people from different angles and get smarter every debate at the same time winning and gaining virtual points. I don't care who wins, as long as they don't ban me for just normally debating.

Why do many people care substantially about who wins an election on a small website? I am not criticizing people who care, I am just curious. Your experiences won't change by very much, honestly, and cyberbullying is borderline neglectable on this site(I have yet to hear someone leaving this site because they had been bullied intentionally, and no, willingly-accepting debates then leave with a loss does not count).

I mean, even without a president, the site is fine. At least the voting system is not broken and the mods are welcome to ban any ad bots. Why do we care so much about who gets to be the president on this site?

And if you believe in buddhism, hinduism, Taoism, or any other sets of beliefs that do not condemn others for believing in other gods in other religions, you can leave without answering.

Honestly, both in DDO and in DART, a clog of debates such as "god exists" has been common enough that upon seeing it makes me snort.

Atheists can live their lives without, say, a god, and they would live fine. So would religious people praying to their god every day and living fine.

Why do these clashes exist and are as common as they are right now? Why are so many topics of debates and forums centred upon whether god exists or not?

Is it perhaps a duty in religion, or in some parts of a religious groups, to convince others that your god is real?

*cries in joining DDO right after it has been declared dead*

A qualified doctor should tell a suicidal trans person how and why not to die, instead of common icy-cold statistics. No matter who they are, people are people.

Honestly, people who clash the two are most likely the ones that will be cancelled. Trans people are as good as their own as well as women on their own. The Right wingers would probably be watching on the sidelines encouraging violence with popcorn and cola in their hands, in my opinion.

Even then, I would argue the feminist movement, since it is more old-school. Well, many women(especially cis) are conservatives, but nearly no trans people, and they will probably use feminism as an excuse of being a Terf.

It depends on your instantaneous velocity at the end. Maybe you are walking sideways because you didn't take the straight line path. 

Back in his days, 1 points was the best grade for a student so yes, Einstein was decent.

However, Thomas Edison was pretty bad at studies even though he improved the design of the light bulb.

If it is free, how is it selling? How would I be working out if I burn 0 calories?

But why would anyone without dysphoria transition? Does this mean that people can only transition after reaching a certain age? 

(gasps)

Well, what are pain killer anyways. I had took a tablet to ease the pain of my recent teeth surgery, does that count as a pain killer?

There is actually a story in China where a dude has a starving family. His son and his mother. In order to save his mom he buried his kid. For hundreds of years this was not immoral as seen by the conservatives. Similar stories include that a 60-some year old man dresses up as a kid playing to appease his old parents and a man begging the ice to pop and grant him a fish(and actually getting it, luckily).

To be fair, man's stupidity has no end and a world with no stupid humans are borderline impossible. If you try to harm your kid just because you hear some voices, and not even logic explains why it is beneficial(it is probably not), then you probably deserve the grievance of losing your child.

If you are a psychopath who is actually not sad after all this, then maybe you don't deserve children.

I think it is not entirely my problem. People(including me) misinterpret things all the time. Well, maybe I should work towards making my language less ambiguous.

I think I will answer my own question saying that yes. I just flipped out a previous news article a year old or so saying that there is a californian bartender who bans masks in his bar because they don't like to serve "pussies", or something like that.

Are there more? Are their motivations purely rebellious or do they actually hate masks?

Are the theory that masks are ineffective a main driving factor of people hating masks?

Wait, hold on. I misinterpreted the topic as "Are we morally obligated to give money to beggars". Well, giving money = helping, and that is definitely not IMMORAL. However, there are so much to do than just giving him money. For example, we can as well teach him something leading him to go out of begging. Armless people are running in the paralympics and blind people are now playing the piano. The sparks are not from money itself, but passion. Giving a beggar better sparks of passion in life and he will make money in more efficient methods. Again, begging on the streets is definitely NOT an efficient method of making money, generally speaking, not even as good as a car mechanic probably.

People could tell people to not wear masks ironically. They are "telling' ironically, such as being a prank on people. They would still get arrested probably.

Are there people that are ideologically aligned to not only think that masks don't work, but that not wearing masks is actually better?

I think no. You could, as a light heart would, but if he actually wanted money, he should spend more time seeking for a job, and no, he shouldn't expect people to give him money when he is just begging on the streets.

Then his mask must be outdated as hell.

Title says.

Also, uncanny mr.incredible.

I guess, does copypasting erotic fiction violate the site's rules?

"I love debate art Tiananmen, the sun rises on debate art Tiananmen, the great seventh chairman leads us forwards"

WHAT?

How and why would we trust a user who has posted nothing for years to lead this site? You understand what happened to DDO, right?

OK, what is happening?

First, why did Airmax say any of these things? When did he say so. Did you not perhaps took into account of irony?

Second, How is it possible that Shabshoral got banned until a date BEFORE now? Or is it 2206?

Wasn't Airmax a mod back in DDO?

Rich dad poor dad. I have read it in 14 when many people go through their ancap edgy stage. Now I forgot it except that I think it is capitalist propaganda.

Holes = cheeseless area

More holes = more cheeseless area

You might have confused cheeseless area with less cheese. If you earn something at an expense but you earn a total net benefit, it wouldn't be right to claim that more earnings = more expenses = less earnings. More expenses are not less earnings especially since more expenses means more earning and more net benefit.

Both the total volume of cheese and the total volume of holes increase proportionally. In the end, when x approaches infinity, both of them approaches infinity.

More cheese lost correlates with more substantial volume of cheese and if the factory producing the swiss cheese is the same, then the proportion of the holes to cheese is relatively constant.

You might have confused cheeseless area with less cheese. If you earn something at an expense but you earn a total net benefit, it wouldn't be right to claim that more earnings = more expenses = less earnings. More expenses are not less earnings especially since more expenses means more earning and more net benefit.

Well, a teacher can work towards so that they would be fitting to a group of students, this isn't straight up RNG.

In ideal conditions, considering the average teacher teaching an average class in the United States, is it difficult or not?

Both guilty, but under different charges. 1 should be guilty under the planning of a murder, and 3 is guilty under actual murder. Both should be close to equal, I guess.

Mars.

I get the other ones, but what is going on with the one regarding the difficulty for a teacher to be popular and effective?

I get it, absolute popularity and effectivity is unachievable, but even in relative popularity and effectivity, you would still have an exertion to work for it, am I right? Wasn't such topics for taking the mean or median for all the people that satisfy the criteria?

Capitalism is not evil in of itself. Capitalism just enables greed to be used and greed is the evil thing here, not the system. The computer virus is the one damaging, not the hardware.

Wait, this is a presidential election thread?

I mean, I am ok with whatever you do, as long as you don't get corrupt.

Nope. There isn't. If theists don't have such rules and neither do atheists, then I am confused as to why such arguing is still taking place with such heat.

IDK if you really think common sense is really that great, I mean, the common sense was proven wrong when Galileo dropped two spheres, and again when the quantum physicists tried to measure the mass, the position, and the energy of an electron and failed to do so.

Even then, College textbooks would bother explain what every term means academically, not this vague bs.

I understand it when people talk it out with their mouths and throats because they simply wouldn't have enough time for explaining every single little detail. But this is writing, On a piece of paper or a computer screen. It asks me to weigh two vaguely-defined things.

I get it, I know who is "senior" when you tell me to pour them a cup of tea. But, when to social and political issues, how could one really know what are "senior citizens“ without legally defining it?

Also, I simply do not find such instructions "easy to follow". I simply wouldn't make anything in my mind when the competition just tells me to "make a car" and not tell me what car to make. I simply can't weigh how "important" is "important" and how "long" is "long". Maybe it is relative, but even then, without a reference of motion, we can't discuss and calculate velocity and momentum.

You tell me it is easy, OK, show me how, because I can't seem to grasp myself around these "easy-to-understand" concepts especially since they are extremely vague to the point that pointing out the statement is fallacious thus disproving it would have a sense of validity. I simply would want to know how one would measure the unmeasurable, such as "large universities", "large impact", "important decisions", and "successful job". Trust me when they have given every single one of the four on mock exams and I have no solid reasons and everything I have put forth are gish gallop shit that may as well appeal to the teachers. Are such prompts basically made for students to have no clear and solid reasons and just to write a false narrative on what they believe?

I don't understand how people could argue cross-thread about whether if God exists or not. Is there perhaps a rule in your religion that you must argue with a 'heretic' until they convert？

Well, from my infamous style on this site, you know that I will simply disagree with all the statements saying that the statement itself is fallacious. I did, and it did not give me anything good.

How am I able to give specific examples on such a vague statement, especially since the prompt specifically asks for it?

I think this test is not meant to weed out people with bad English only. It may also be meant for weeding out people who have insufficient life experiences to give examples alone. I have gotten a prompt comparing and contrasting two benefits of having a son or daughter and say which is more important on a mock exam. I am in 10th grade, how the hell am I supposed to have reliable information on this?

...SAT? I am in 10th grade right now. I haven't took an SAT nor am I required to anyways. TOEFL is a test for foreign students to get into colleges in the field of English to show them that I(or anyone that takes it) am capable of learning with the English language there. The higher the score, the better. As a 10th grader(in China) we are basically training so that in 12th grade we would reach our peak score and get into good universities.

Also, creative writing is one thing, being too vague is another. If it were a solely "creative writing", it would at least give me something like "Describe your favorite thing in 600 words". Creative writing is a democracy, whereas this is full-on anarchy. There is no guidelines on anything at all other than a vague statement. This is like a race telling you to build a car, and then nothing else. What is a "car" is up to your interpretation and even a scrap car or a pick-up truck is as much as a car as an F1 car here, and then it makes whoever is building the car confused because they don't know what car they need.

I am obligated to take TOEFL in order to get into a good university and there’s an issue with the writing. The topic statement is just way too vague.

For example, there is

What is “educated”? What is exactly “now” or “the past”?

What exactly is “young” or “older”?

How popular or effective exactly is it?

How much time is “a lot”? How important is “an important decision”?

You see, the problems never give any definitions at all. How, exactly, could I or anyone write things without proper definitions, and how could we write arguments based on muddy environments?

More than that, how are “normal people” able to write, and even give examples on these topics? How do I think like a “normal person”?

@RM

Well, I am just saying merry christmas, what did I even do that is notable enough to make a post?

I am confused. I am not trying to nitpick, I just don't at all understand.

No. I am saying that it won't burn even if it fails.

Well, from my understanding, Women support muslims because they are being discriminated against, not because they hate gay people. The key of Islam is about love, not hate, and homophobic elements are traditional dogma even, not the core.

merry christmas

for such an important project why do you think there is not a fail-safe feature in case if fails? Why would it fail at all?

I predict, on balance, no. Even if it falls, they will just launch it again after some quick repairs, instead of building a new one.

Feminists are supporting the rights of muslims in America, etc, because they are currently victims of hate. Feminism is supporting Muslims, not Islam as a religion. Feminism wouldn't support a homophobic religion, but they can accept a religion, and they can tolerate any religious practices as long as they don't tolerate hate and spread discrimination.

Speaking of which, the homophobic and sexist traditions are traditions and they are not as important as core virtues such as "Believe in Allah" or "Love your family", etc. Even Pope Francis tolerates homosexuality despite it being ruled as wrong in the old testament.
