Because many minimum wage workers (those perminately out of school) don't search for better paying jobs on their own. They are satisfied with their current job.
Their meaning at this point is to make money. What if we make you as rich, but you won’t need to leave!
Either way, I don’t think this is a solid reason.

@TheUnderdog
The minimum wage kills worker's ambition. If workers want a higher salary, they should get a better paying job.
And you are not arguing raising the minimum wage, but against minimum wages IN GENERAL? Oh, I would love to see someone working for free in all kinds of circumstances.
It would be nice if they earn something, versus nothing. I still can't think of a single reason why a higher minimum wage would kill their ambition, instead of fuel it or just make it the same.
If some jobs have higher salaries, everyone would want to go there. There will 100% be people that won't be chosen for any high-paying jobs, and they have a life too, they can't just die of poverty.

I can't think of any sane person who would become "toxic" in any of these cases. The closest match of being real for a human being is (3), and even then, he would be banned in a few days(if not hours) if he is exhibiting such behavior here.

I don't know what anyone's definition of "toxic" is(In fact, the definition is technically infinitely versatile), but from the agreed definition[1], if you are being toxic, you aren't being a good debater. If you are reasoning respectfully and people think you are toxic, that is their fault for being incorrect and intolerant.

Can you show me somebody in real life who loves debating that isn't a toxic person in a fair few ways?

just stop reiterating your own problems and projecting them towards others
Created:
There is too little information given.
What constitutes the "capitalism" in America? Does the Left populace control its description, the massive corporations, or our old president Mr. Joseph Biden? What makes America "capitalist", in fact, and not anything else, like neoliberal?
What could viably replace "capitalism" in America? Is Fascism a viable option? What about Neo-Bolshevism? What about a theoretically perfect system that fulfills everything that could come into existence?

Quality of life has basically nothing to do with how "great" it is. Would you say that Healthcare is "greater" than military as one saves people and another kills?

Stop trying to prove the Bible(or even disprove). It is meaningless. What is meaningful is creating your own meaning, and I do not advise being a Bible scholar in the year of 2021.

In conclusion, it is impossible for us to know what “sandwich” actually means because the definition is technically infinitely versatile.
Created:
Posted in:
A hot dog is/isn’t a sandwich because we call it a sandwich/not a sandwich. It is up to us.
Reality is subjective. No matter what, we are perceiving the world through our minds and whatever we think about are just projections of our mind. Whether it is a sandwich or not depends on us, and not the sandwich itself. The sandwich itself can’t think and it doesn’t have objective reality within itself that would think “I am/am not a sandwich!”. We could, though, trust markets and food organizations to issue a hot god as a sandwich or not, but the last laugh is still ourselves because we get to decide if we trust them or not.
Obviously there are some chefs who prefer to make a hot dog with a single piece of bread, and there are some who prefer using two, but if we really think about it, we could even call a shoe a sandwich if we want: we don’t normally do that because we trust the society we live in and the society doesn’t call a shoe a sandwich.
Then again, we get to decide if we think society is true. The joker and the serial killers are simply ones that think society is wrong.
Debate settled. Questions? Ask.
Created:
Debating is just a practice of logical structures, philosophies as well as normal knowledge.
Debating is a art of skeptics, and it gives you critical thinking.
Though we can’t say that we are better at making friends than others, we could say that we are better at questioning things than others.
But there is another question: does it matter?
Created:
Posted in:
I had done an entire debate on it.
It is not whether it “is” a sandwich, because some has called it one, and others denied.
Some people has even called Pizza “sandwiches”.
Essentially, it is whether if most people believe that hot dogs are sandwiches.

Perfect stuff technically exist in theory, but not in reality. If you have any counter examples, bring ‘em.
The people who say that perfect things exist might as well be atheists who claim god exists.
That being said, even on only evidence, democracy is flawed. Democracy has ensured that Socrates died, as well as making bad presidents such as Johnson and Biden into the office. Democracy has also made wars in the recent ages, as many people support them.
Not even policies are perfect, unless the ones that are made to me perfect, which haven’t been made once and work.

There are all kinds of credit. You could get credit from graduating from Harvard or returning every check on time. To the people who are blind sheep, being related to famous people IS credit.
If I am the son of Elon Musk, I would be probably flooded with question regarding technology, because by being the son of Elon Musk people would think I am well taught about innovative technological ideas and would understand those concepts well.
Those with professionality would immediately know if I actually know about innovating technology or not, but to untrained eye, if I really am the son of Elon Musk, people would think I know a lot even if I don't.
The same thing with Infamous people. If I am the descendant of Stalin walking on the streets of Warsaw, I would expect eggs thrown at me.

However, as technology gets better and better, most exploitative work, such as picking cotton and assembling kitchen gadgets(which may even be in vain at this moment[1]), will be replaced by machines that can make perfect stuff as we say(and if they don't, it will be our fault for not being excellent enough at designing). Machines have no feelings and they don't feel bad when bosses order them to make 100,000 products a day, unless they have codes necessary for Artificial Intelligence, which, at all times should be kept out of factory houses.
We would have more time to think and design, because the issue of the quality of the product at the back end would be not a concern anymore, seeing machines can carry out the job basically perfectly.
What do we need next? Automated assembly lines that make automated assembly lines. When these are circulated within society, we can say that capitalism is possible to not be exploitative anymore. If they still do, then the corporative owners are at fault.

Yes.
Being a capitalist, you must have "things" under you that can keep you rich even if when you are asleep 24/7. What exactly are these "things"? To a modern millionaire, it might mean portfolios, stock investments and real estate. But once you get greedy and start becoming a billionaire, there might be chances that people die to get in your company, only to be squeezed by machines.
I mean, today, this issue is better than the 1800s. In the 1800s when the pollutions wasn't being aware of a problem and the industrial revolution was an unstoppable force, so much as child slaves got their jobs at the puppeting hands of the greedy business owners who had taken luxurious carriages in an out of their workplace, while the child workers get less than what we currently consider the minimum wage.
If you have worked in the United States, chances are that you worked your asses off to get a pay and a raise, only to live paycheck to paycheck with barely enough money to buy a single car. That is exploitative. You deserve to thrive, not just to survive. You deserve to think, to find your meaning, instead of stumbling among the rubble of mediocrity. That is what capitalism is doing to you. It is exploitative.
We can't exactly say when Smith wrote the barebone theory for capitalism, he wanted exploitation. However, it would be inevitable that some greedy bastard would overuse the interests of the people that loved working for him, until the cashflow is doubled or tripled, and those people are no longer interested in working for him but had no choice but to be kept bound to the workplace because that is the only way they will live to see their children grow old.

Well, I don’t think your description is accurate.
I would think more surveillance so that we could have more evidence than a woman speaking.
Surveillance is not the problem, the people who uses them is the problem. Logging onto Youtube should not be punished by surveillance, whereas assault, once caught, should be.
I believe “believe women” is a flawed idea, because there are females assaulting males and getting away, and there are real examples of that. “Believing the victim” would at least be a more plausible idea than “believe women”.

Believe women
I don't know what you are possibly talking about. Believing women is common decency and the failure of doing so makes you no different than a Middle-ages priest.
God
There is no proof. You can believe it if you feel good about it, but remember it is not an obligation.
Abortion
Pro-life. I have said it and I will say it again. Invest in childcare, healthcare, foster homes, contraception, etc, so in the end there won't even be an abortion, and the kid would grow up successfully under at least someone.

To be fair, when you are radical enough, everyone seems like a pain in the ass.
To a twitter left radicalist, an LGBTQ hero making a homophobic content a few years ago is enough to stop supporting him/her/them.
To an American redneck hard rightist, even Chick-fil-a having a rainbow symbol would be enough to make them rage about it for an entire month.
To a white Protestant pastor, having a burger/BBQ restaurant next to the church would be enough for him to send a request to move it somewhere else.
To an anarchist, lecturing him about fundamental concepts of our realm would make him think that his fundamental rights are being violated.

Nope. DDO is a better system overall. I mean, Createdebate.com isn't even Con/Pro anymore. One debate had a side called "penis hole breath".
DDO failed because the owners couldn't care less about people talking about arbitrary topics on the net. But if you can label a side "penis hole breath" then post single-sentence arguments, I don't think this system works.
Or maybe it is because I was introduced to online debating on DDO and amplified my power here. To me, createdebate.com seems more like reddit.
