@PressF4Respect
I am sorry but I also find you the most difficult to stereotype. I did genuinely lose count of who was due and skimread for it, I think it's because your avatar was similar to User_2006's sword one in general colour scheme, that I didn't notice your request.
You are an extreme hybrid type so I don't doubt that maybe I did subconsciously notice you, think it was too hard and later forgot. I am sorry, I will get to it.

That reply offended me, not you voting for Trump.
Selfishness isn't the opposite of selflessness, it is only semantically appearing to be so. The opposite of a selfish society is one where we are responsible, not selfless. Responsible for the wellbeing of all others in the community, no excuses, no bullshit.
Selfishness is okay in moderation, that moderation must keep selfish motive under a threshold that enables responsible use of resources, distribution of the result of using those resources etc.
I am not a pure socialist who thinks we are all the same in a literal sense. Some of us really are better at some jobs and tasks than others. That's the beauty of diversity, we each chip in our part and help the others out.
If you never share, never care, never anything then what's life even? I confess that I may be biased as I was raised to think this way, I just don't understand the mentality of 'everything is mine oh yes I win because you have nothing and I have everything!'
That's not even sustainable power in the first place. Your underlings should thrive, such that when you die or bad luck hits your business and you're struggling, they're strong enough to help the community cope and save you with the safety net mechanisms that were in place while you saved them. That's teamwork and in the end strong teams thwart 'dog eat dog' bullshit.

I am not offended by your vote for Donald Trump, everyone is suffering under his inept leadership. When I say 'everyone', of course the filthy rich aren't superficially suffering but what good is your money when your nation and reputation as an American has other nations deeply resent you and even your own countrymen are refusing to stand during the anthem?
Trump has failed to MAGA, he's utterly thrown that dream into the sewer, let it rot and achieved the complete opposite. Every country other than the US sees US as weaker, broken and far less desirable as a destination than ever before and I don't just mean because his Covid-19 management strategy was worse than even most leaders of countries that we'd deem 'underdeveloped'.
I am not offended by your vote, all Americans are suffering under it, this isn't about offence or insult.

@HistoryBuff
Same old corruption? Even at her most corrupt, Hillary was making deals to establish world peace and that's a fact you cannot deny.
Trump is genuinely corrupt even in the motive behind his corruption. He's literally solely out for himself, not even his family just himself. I sincerely believe that he hasn't done a remotely honourable act in his life. Even to save face and appear good, he doesn't even try to seem selfless or caring or anything. I don't even think he has a single redeeming feature if we take his overall personality and reputation. The fact he won that many States, votes etc is beyond my comprehension. I'd rather established semi-caring corruption than brutal genuine rich bitch establishment to the core corruption.
Trump was Establishment even more so than any other candidate except for Jeb Bush in that election. Trump is from an elitist bloodline that his grandfather helped establish and has been completely corrupt from day one of his business endeavours to now.

@Trent0405
There is no moral justification for it. The fact is that it's indisputable that eating meat involves the slaughter of animals which are 100% as alive and sentient as us but we lie about it to justify it.
The justification to eat it is that nature isn't moral and we are being natural (that's the usual justification, anyway). The less intelligent justification is that it's natural and therefore morally acceptable as it's something we're built to do.
I never understand how fans of nature (green party hippy types) can celebrate it as a moral thing and spread peace and love. Nature is merciless, uncaring, unbiased and forever changing, leaving no one happy and stable (the most obvious doom for us all is that so far no immortal creature exists as far as we know, everything can and will die eventually but that's not the only harsh change that hits us all, there's a lot more to it).
Nature is without morality, it just is. In the same way as it's natural to be merciless it's also natural to care and empathise and this was a major reason that our species thwarted others. We both can harm others more than other species can and also can help each other and care for one another far more than the other species can dream of. Both our capacity to devour others and help each other not be devoured is key to understanding what has humans as the apex predator of the entire planet in every single regard.
The justification for eating meat lies in appreciating that nature itself isn't entirely moral, in fact it is 100% amoral (meaning it doesn't care about morality vs immorality). If you want to be the most 'good' person that you can be, then yes do not eat meat especially if you're financially independent. Until you're financially independent from your parents/guardians, you have an excuse to eat meat if they make you eat it and are the ones funding your food supply, shelter etc.

@ethang5
The only reason he got away with it is by playing the victim. Meanwhile, he will encourage them to investigate Hillary Clinton and call her pure evil for not wanting her own privacy invaded by the FBI.That wasn't the reason he called her pure evil. His opinion of her was vindicated by the American people. She did not want the FBI investigating her because she committed crimes.
Why did Trump stop the FBI investigating him and dislike it during the investigation?

So you are celebrating that your 'victim' won an election to be president as a severe organised crime offender. Right, now go ahead and compare him to George Floyd again, maybe it will make more sense the second time?

@K_Michael
Creativity embodies this entity's being. The K_Michael creates even where there is no room to, just for the sake of it. Flamboyant, into dancing, performing and even writing, anything artsy is where he shines. Is he gay? Maybe, but he's not one to care about rumours nor confirm or deny them.
K_M wants to be talked about, he likes attention when it's not negative. He's beyond prep, he isn't just popular or well known, he's actually skilled at the arts and is likely to go his own path in life that no clique or stereotype itself could define. Breaking moulds is also how he approaches dealing with people. The K_M you dealt with two days ago is only one mood swing away from being a very different person today. Moodiness isn't what this is about, it's that he rides out his emotions to the fullest. He lives to feel, create, enjoy, cry, all of the typically feminine things but his creativity isn't feminine; it's bold, statement-making and he's ready to pave the way for others.
He could even become a cult leader if he applied his skills in a cunning and ruthless manner, he is extremely capable of making intricate stories and captivating audiences. With this aura comes envy from others, the K_M rubs shoulders and can't help but end up with haters wherever he goes but that is enjoyable for him. He creates new paths, roundabout ways to charm the hater or make them unable to yell at him.

What are you even talking about? Death sentence is something that is stupid and ignores the rehabilitation aspect of justice, nonetheless it is legal. I am talking about unlawful murder at the point of arrest.
Trump is one of the most powerful people in the world right now, George Floyd was bottom of the food chain and preyed upon. FBI were not even wrong, Trump was involved in a lot of illegal tax evasions, tampering with votes via illicit lobbying strategies and much more. The only reason he got away with it is by playing the victim. Meanwhile, he will encourage them to investigate Hillary Clinton and call her pure evil for not wanting her own privacy invaded by the FBI. He is a disgusting hypocrite to the core of his being.

What interesting topics do you come up with? All I see is hypocrisy on both of your parts.

The title speaks for itself, it's time to get to the fucking truth of it. You posers talk of 'oh yaaa he's a rebel and isn't esablishment oh yaaaa wee wooo' he is showing his true face when he assassinates generals on sovereign soil of Iraq (not even Iran) because he's too much of a pussy to do it on Iran's soil so he will kill an Iranian General there on Iraqi soil to play a game of 'ooh I didn't violate any rule'. He is a straight up bitch who has fucked around too much with all poor people and ethnically with Hispanics, now Black Rights protesters and not to mention the deep and pure hatred he has for all variety of Muslims.
He is a shit stain on presidency, humanity and right-wing pigheaded politics. End of the fucking discussion, report this post I do not give a shit as I didn't break a rule.
I am sick of him, his putrid face in the news makes me furious to even see. I wish they put a wasp on the photos instead of his face. Trump is a wasp, he serves no purpose to the political ecosystem whatsoever; he is there to sting and mimic useful things like bees, in appearance.

@ethang5
Hotheaded delinquents aren't the most charming people, nonetheless each has their place in society and ethang5 is proud of what he is.
He will join others as any gangster type would, at times, yet what makes him different to most of his kind is that he's willing to separate himself from the group and make his own decisions even when the peer pressure would cave in even the strongest rebel out there. Ethang5 is a real G to the grave, he believes wholeheartedly in a higher power and that everything he does and says need only be judged by that power, no one else's opinion matters.
He's as tough as they come, ready to spar with anyone. At times, he's also the guy who will push you aside as he storms down the corridor, though he only gets truly macho and sadistic when the other person is that way. He's the bully of the bullies, the naughty kid in class who doesn't do it for the jokes but out of serious distaste for the conformity and mindless conformity involved with the education system.
He is very similar to RM and Dr. Franklin in that he doesn't care much about what people think or say and pushes outward proudly in his own direction. Where he differs is that he genuinely doesn't care at all about what others think of him.

I replied this to Fauxlaw's debate:
The frequency of wrongful convictions, overly-brutal sentences and the very pressures (financial and sociological) that drive one to crime are all very much harshest against those of the 'black' race due to many things in the past trickling down generations.The gap between whites and blacks of average income, education quality and stuff like that is getting worse (but obviously not 'worse' than literal slavery) as time goes by. The less opportunity they have, the more pressures there are to become a criminal to ever be more than a blue collar worker for life on a dirt-cheap wage that can barely uphold themselves, let alone their families, especially if relatives get sick.It's also the case that generally speaking, caucasians in poverty have somehow got distant relatives to help them out, however I am not suggesting that they have it 'easier' by a large margin at all. The issue is that the system is overall rigged against blacks because due to all the things I've mentioned there is a bias against people of that ethnicity that says they are more likely to have done crimes (since they're more commonly driven towards it as they are desperate for money and have far less opportunity to get it). This bias runs deep in both mentality of not hiring and promoting them as well as convicting them of crimes.This is the core thing that needs to be altered in MANY 'white' countries that previously enslaved and continually discriminated against blacks in recent generations. The effect is still being had on blacks alive today and that is what needs to be stopped.

@SirAnonymous
'SirAnonymous scored 93/100 in the test!'
whispered the student sitting next to him, to her friend.
'what the- ??'
Replied the friend, raising her eyebrows.
Forever underestimated, underappreciated and barely known, SirAnonymous slides by working his hardest when he feels like it and slacking off at other times, especially due to how unappreciated he is. Constantly torn between workaholism and underachieving, he never is neutral about any class or even any student (though most think he is neutral with and about them).
Not everyone finds it easy to open up to others but SA takes it to a whole new level, he has pre-prepared lies in case he is forced to open up, designed to either impress or underwhelm (just like his work ethic). One could delve into the home life and psychological reasons behind this stereotype but to do that we'd both have to study him deeper and also need to want to hurt his feelings, and no one wants to do either to SA, he makes sure of it; often going out of his way to make good with anyone who he fears he's offended.

@zedvictor4
Zedvictor isn't popular, he likes it that way. In the corner of parties with his select 1 or 2 buddies, he just hangs out and gets on with life. He isn't worried too much about his reputation, unless it affects others close to him.
Loyalty is very important to him. If one comes for his family or friends and he will defend them ferociously. He protects very little very much and prides himself on that. Betrayal cuts him deep, he may forgive but never forgets.
He is an introvert in every sense.

@whiteflame
'Are you one of us or one of the nerdy dweebs?'
Asked Bsh1 to whiteflame.
After a few seconds of deep breaths to calm down and calculate his next move came the reply:
'Bish, I am not one of your crew, you're one of mine and it would be wise of you to watch your tone when you address me, fam.'
The whiteflame doesn't negotiate, he is negotiated with. He doesn't beg for power, he puts in the blood, sweat and tears and lets the power gravitate towards and around him, depending on his willingness to take it on.
Responsible, diligent and well-respected, he is the kind of nerd you do not pick on. He makes sure to butter up the preps, remembers everyone's birthday who matters to him, ensures he is untouchable socially and academically and does not quit, ever, he takes quiet and steady breaks.
If you engage him, he will erode your work ethic, corrode your ego and make you fear him. He is the one others do not step to and walk away happy. He picks his battles extremely wisely and is nobody's bitch.

@Crocodile
Crocodile isn't quite what his name suggests. He's more of a rodent than a reptile. Very adaptable to changing circumstances and outgoing when he's not in a bad mood, he is easy to like but also prone to attract predatory types to pick on him.
He's the weird guy whose friends like him quite a bit and whose enemies look down on. He doesn't entirely like how weird he is, nonetheless he accepts it and doesn't deny that he's one of the outcasts, willingly befriending them out of necessity at times. He's a pleasant presence among the weirdos, as he doesn't judge and isn't intimidating or the type to throw his allies to the wolves.
He is a fusion of geekiness and calm. If you want a chill guy to eat with at lunch just head to his table, he'll rarely turn down the company.

@blamonkey
Blamonkey the chill beta male is everyone's ally. You can hate him if you want to but it serves you absolutely no benefit to do so, as he will not lash out in response nor notice you.
He is observant, studious and very well-liked in any community that he takes seriously. In others, he just blends in as a background character. He has a presence that is known by all but not so much felt. He is the teacher's pet who doesn't ask if homework is due, he is the half nerd half prep who is not too awkward to get by nor too stuck up to be resented. Blamonkey flows and slides between other cliques just fine, he is the one none can truly get to, both positively and negatively. The enemy of none is also the best friend of none.

@User_2006
Whst you're saying isn't true though. There's been more forfeiters and overly keen debaters in this covid era than ever before other than very very early on in the site. It's been the case with Type1 and Billbatard that there were HUGELY keen debaters who did mass-feed wins but what you failed to notice os that you're that debater this era. I was even that debater for a period. It happens when one spreads themselves far too thin that they can't cope with the debate-load and slowly give up on all of them as the stress overloads them.
You're the guy this era who was that and until you truly hone in your skills and stop complaining about the era, or suggesting it is particularly easier or harder than another time, you'll struggle. I play poker and it is one of the most mentally torturing games on Earth in terms of it truly being down to skill in the long run but short-term wins vs losses being misleading. I know you're not of age to play it, I'm just saying that a game like poker is truly brutal, people have gone bankrupt over how it deludes you into thinking good luck was your skill or bad luck was a bad strategy at work. It takes so much discipline, learning etc to get good at it and is an endless journey of refinement. Debating is very similar but isn't nearly as torturous in the scale of luck vs skill.

The problem is partly that and also that you think it was easier before. It was both easier for those on the right side of corruption (oromagi, ramshutu, ragnar) and harder for those on the receiving end of it. Most of those on the receiving end of it ended up banned anyway and were themselves corrupt but I was not.
Created:

@User_2006
I had the opposite problem. A user named Ramshutu was out to get me at any given opportunity he'd vote me to lose if he could. He'd also vote things into ties (voted ties against lower rated debaters loses you some rating while unvoted ties do not). He even worked with the chief moderator to get several winning debates I had farmed deleted even though the chief moderator said I was paranoid for thinking this would happen.
On top of that, everyone else voted far less often and willingly than they do now. So what's inproved, especially thanks to lockdown forcing people indoors and online, is the enthusiasm of voters and fairness of thst element of debating. This then drives people to have more debates as they fear unvoted ties and wasted effort less.

Are you only what your job is on paper? For all I know you are unemployed, no offence. You are not just your job.
Vice President does a lot behind the scenes and is a major eyes and ears to stop the President being backstabbed or media-smeared in ways that the President alone could never handle. There is a reason why experience as VP is considered so extreme that 14 VP have later become President (and will be 15 if Biden makes it). It is extremely parallel on the behind the scenes stuff with the President themselves' work, often needing to meet very high ranking officials on behalf of the President, more so than the secretary of state does. The VP is an extremely trusted individual, on par with the secretary of state in how high their rank and the trust placed in them can give them access to (but below the President).
This is extremely serious to suggest that they are just a tie breaker and a face on a ticket.

VP is very significant indeed, it is even an acting president at times and significant player with the chief of staff of the president behind the scenes. Most staff know the VP more than they know the President, it's just in politics series that they've decided to make VP appear far less doing anything than they do in reality.

That is a complete and utter disrespect to Kamala Harris (who I told you I was rooting for out of the underdog candidates in the first place, since I considered Warren to not be an underdog and was rooting for her first and foremost with Sanders as second-best).
Kamala Harris is not chosen because she is a woman, she is chosen for so much more and on top of that she isn't caucasian so you cannot even argue that bullshit. She is chosen for so much more than that, she is an extremely competent politician and lawyer and Biden knows she's a fantastic asset on his team, end of discussion.
