Facts do not care about anyone's feelings.
The entire law was based solely on what people feel is right and wrong... Lol...

God is Satan. God is the Devil.
Jesus is Lucifer. They are interlinked and at times Satan/God possesses Jesus/Lucifer especially when Lucifer has become Jesus. This is why when Jesus keeps trying to explain his father or the devil, his logic in what he is saying is completely nonsensical even in the original Hebrew. It's like his mind is being hijacked.
If you don't see it, it's not my issue. Jesus was what happened to Lucifer once he was smited and sent down.
It should not surprise anybody that God is prone to rage and sadism, that is the way of 'his' devilish self. Unfortunately though, this all contradicts core tenets of Christianity elsewhere in its flawed structure. In other words, the Christian god is a lie and the Christian devil combined with the Jewish god is closer to the real one. The biggest error is presuming god to be a 'father'. This was the major error in Christianity. The real god is the mother of reality.

Not the actual debates, just social banter and bsing.

try saying the same thing about others on here, see how many care what you say.
'her' (or 'their') and my relationship is not of your concern. I know god is real, I truly actually know it. There is not one iota of doubt in my mind.
I have had signs you wouldn't believe and which are irrefutably divine. I am at one with reality and I accept the designer for what she is. Angel doesn't entirely sum it up, neither does devil.
Created:
You do not know how many people I care for or about.
In the end if I care about everyone equally, it follows that I end up caring equally little about everyone too.
'god' designed reality to be a yin yang between selfishness and selflessness. Lack either too much and you're going to end up a different brand of miserable.

The main drive towards it is that it's not fun to not be able to fuck and do your own thing in a crowded house with thin walls etc while your own parents, and/or cousins etc are living there with you.
It's just awkward and not everyone has nice parents.
Can you imagine having rough sex with your partner while your parents can hear it? Exactly, it's awkward. That's the drive to buy a house with thick enough walls, soundproofing or whatever else. It's not just that, it's the whole idea of privacy and space from annoying pestering parents and whatever.
I agree with you though, I don't get why people are seen as losers (especially males) for being wiser with money and moving out towards age 30 instead of age 19. I don't say it has to be all the way to 30, I just say if the parents are just about bearable enough and you are bearable enough to them just about, it's a wiser move financially, immensely so.
The sucky part is the lack of privacy as I say. Let's say you're gay with homophobic parents, see the issue is even more severe then right?

The 2 hour or 1 hour-45 minute timing you had before for it to notify us that we are running out of time is far better than the 1-hour timer you have now. It is not realistic that we will be on at the exact hour, meaning it really doesn't help cross-debate grinders who grind many debates at once to manage their time at all. The 2-hour notifier at least had a purpose for someone who comes on the site hourly to check as they'd have enough time to at least put something up maybe. Frankly I think 3 hours left is a good time to activate that notification.

I don't understand fully the hypocrisy op is stating
The position of 'Liberal' voters on trans rights tends to be to force those that are scientifically literate to cave in to the demands of the passionately delusional that need their delusion upheld for their emotional wellbeing.
This position is totally flipped around when they support traumatising anti-vaxxers due to what the scientific data says.
Created:
If you support blackmailing anti-vaxxers to let their children be vaccinated if not they themselves and support repercussions for their delusion running against scientific 'fact' then what about the 'fact' biologically of an individual being male or female?
People who say it's gender and not biological sex are inherently lying unless they are talking of queers instead of trans people. Transwomen take oestrogen and even may cut off their penis all to mimic the sex, not the behavioural gender, that is female and womanly and vice versa with transmen and testosterone and/or other androgens (testosterone isn't the only masculine hormone for mammals, just the most known one).
If you support blackmailing people to believe in vaccination regardless of their feelings and need for freedom to be what they are and raise their children with said delusions (according to you, it's delusions anyway) then how can you support transgender pronouns leading to hate crime fines and career-ruining repercussions just the same? These are opposite examples of tyranny, right? One is for science, the other completely ignores science.
If you wish to turn this around on anti-vaxxers, the difference is not all anti-vaxxers support banning the right of one to act like a sissy man or butch woman whatsoever, it is the blackmailing of them using certain pronouns and ignoring the fact of one's biological sex they have issue with. They also believe scientifically that there is reason to be against vaccination, even if their science is flawed they believe it's scientific.

@Lemming
I don't like credit cards, what a scam, withdraw money one doesn't have? Why not just save up your money?
I know of a genuine reasoning behind the concept of what a credit card is (many colloquially say 'enter your credit card details' and include debit card in what you can enter so I am clarifying we specificlaly so mean credit here, not debit). In essence, when you have a 'debit' card it is actually from a bank's perspective the same as a 'credit' card, the reason is that what you are spending is cash in the future after the payment is a pledge/promise you will give it via the bank transfer to come.
The bank only earns anything aside from shareholders in it but the stocks in banks are actually one of the tiniest to bother with in terms of what you even are allowed to own (they run the fucking system, they are not letting you play your stocks and shares and get too rich or complain too much, especially not after that recession). Instead, banks often have the CEO as a self-sustaining beast, a majority shareholder in itself that buys his/her/their way to power.
The banking system runs on actual corruption as a way of life, not in a deceptive sense but a literal, open one. The mark of the best bank is the one lending out loans the most that get paid back on with the most netted profit via interest. That is the bread and butter of banking and the problem is how do you achieve that since if you charge too much interest they will go elsewhere for the loan? You get riskier and lend out loans more leniently, hence the recession that happened when not enough paid the banks back and the bankers had been spending millions of theoretical credit that they assumed would equal itself out over time.
The credit score concept was to let there be something, literally just one thing, beyond loans and sucking people in with them, that more honestly and seriously ended up with people paying the bank back with a tiny bit of interest due to trusting them based on their credit score. It was in essence a loan you are paid to spend money however you please for a month (or group of months whatever the agreement is for your credit card), then you may not even pay it all back in time, just part of it so they add on some interest and trust the money's coming in. It was like the loans system except with pure greed being the actual motive on both the consumer and the bank's end. It was a fair agreement of 'pay us based on how much we can trust you reward those that fuel your greed'.

@Bella3sp
you are right about the physical brain proportions. You are wrong about the divide in how severely each gender uses each matter for their intellect.
Women think linguistically and emotionally far more. Men think in an animalistic sense (this is the opposite to what Double R suggests, men are far more intuitive, women are more literal) that few women do. This is also a huge reason men actually win fights against women way beyond strength. Women need to continually remind their brain to switch back to free flow grey matter tactics while being prone to using words to form their next move. Men easily stick to the grey matter vacuum.
Created:

@Bella3sp
The grey matter in the brain is the animalistic processing, which is still severely above other species for humans.
The white matter is the very human processing part that is linguistic and makes us very eloquent and able to categorise and make sense of experiences to levels other earthly species cannot dream of.
I am sure both genders can see how men run more on grey matter. It is why most men (not me, I am feminine in this regard) talk far less and emotionally process far less than most women.
Nothing is purely grey or white matter but linguistics is the most white matter heavy thing and sports are the most grey heavy thing.

He is actually only slightly right, that edge is much less what he means. Women use more white matter in the brain, men use more grey matter.
Grey matter is used for logical processing, white matter is used for linguistic processing.

- There is, in my opinion, a misogynistic vibe among many here when their posts regard women. You can try and say pot calling kettle black but I really just observe women and see the differences. I even have studied female psychology as a hobby to better understand them, so when I say things about them, it is from a place of actual learning and understanding. Enough guys here talk about women in a very negatively judgemental way.
- The lack of bonding and kinship between those who agree and instead only having the equivalent of bitchiness makes this site devoid of an important site-cultural element women enjoy. Women like to bond with those they agree with, generally. This website angles everyone to primarily interact with those they disagree with, which has the bitchiness both genders engage in but lacks the flip side of that which women tend to enjoy.
- There are more men on the entire Internet to begin with, as Wylted implies differently. Women enjoy using forums less intensely and often than men do. I predict it is also why social media addiction only tends to blatantly harm male ability to read tone and expression, not female social ability (this is sexist but blatantly true and something not really explored). Females develop social skills out of a natural drive towards them. The pure hermit man has no female counterpart at all. Women enjoy and need interaction on a face to face type of level to degrees men have less of. That makes this website especially as it lacks video and voice, sterile seeming to them. To support me on this, OG debate.org had a community-driven Google Hangouts group that used voice and video. It was a tiny group of say 11 guys and 3 chicks/girls. That ratio is stillow but clearly higher than what is maintained here.
- In my experience in life, there are essentially three types of women in arguments:
- The type who go yeah okay cool mhmm right but here is my point, I am right.
- The type who are fantastic ranters on passionate topics that would struggle to play devil's advocate and struggle to enjoy or care about rebuttals.
- The type who are excellent listeners and care little for convincing and arguing. They would rather spread joy than anger and feel that arguing and debate are too hostile for their liking generally.
This website requires someone who is a hybrid of type 2 and type 3. Type 1 there can last on the forums but soon gets bored of it and frustrated.

I do not have one but I can tell you I learn far better from videos than from reading and used to be confused if I lacked intelligence or something but I really believe I am just not cut out for heavy reading typer of nerdiness.
I learn by being talked to, having visuals displayed to me and doing things, I don't learn well just reading a ton of shit on a topic.

My time on the Internet has taught me a very important thing; moderators work for free on almost all websites. Even if they don't work for free, they then answer to whoever pays them and can write their recommendations for future job offers.
There is only 1 currency that moderators tend to care about; public opinion. They want to appear pleasant and justified to the masses. It doesn't matter what is written in the terms and conditions, no seriously it does not matter at all what is written there. You can get away with things written there and be punished for things not outruled there if you don't comprehend the fabric of social tension and ride the waves along the tide of public opinion.
So, quite honestly, I know firmly nothing will change or improve or get worse (thankfully) based on any such shit written there. I know who is in charge and how he is and how the masses interpret actions here. The website has a problematic userbase that value abusing each other over having authentic high quality debate where we are protected against pure thug-like bullying. You cannot fix it, you cannot change it, you either adapt to it or leave the website.
They can word the policies however they want to, it doesn't matter. I got banned 6 weeks for false allegations and haven't had so much as a sorry ever since. The irony is that the only allegation that held ground was I had said false allegations against Mikal.
This website would sooner ban a user for being annoying than for being cruel and ignoring the lack of consent of another to keep abusing them. I have seen it time and time again, enough to realise there is no use to care what's written, the people in charge are pandering to a public that favours flaming over debating. This website's just another troll shitshow now, only the tournaments may be different.

In bulletpoint format, my offer to Skipper officially stands as follows:
- I wish to only debate topic 3 if it is changed to this:
The rise of social media as a primary source of news distribution has thus far done more harm than good to society.
- I wish to only debate Con on topic 1.
- I am flexible on sides for topic 2 and give Skipper full priority to choose his side there.

Let's save the time and private chitchat
If we debate topic 3, I want this changed:
- The rise of social media as a primary source of news distribution does more harm than good.
to this:
- The rise of social media as a primary source of news distribution has thus far done more harm than good to society.
Without that, consider topic 3 invalid by me and if Tejretics insists on such a faulty resolution topic, I will insist to take Con and Kritik it along the lines you cannot really argue that a past rise itself currently does something in terms of weighed harm and good, only that the thing itself (social media) being used itself is doing more harm than good. We also need the 'to society' otherwise we can drown either side out in freak cases of anecdotal horror vs heartwarming phenomenal prowess of what social media has made happen.
I will hint you this;
- Governments should impose a BBC-style impartiality requirement on all news platforms.
I want Con on this because 'news' currently includes completely tabloid magazines and as another topic points out social media style articles.
I will negotiate hardball if you blackmail us to the roulette because I don't want it to go there.
- The media should be prohibited from reporting on the mental illnesses of those charged with crimes.
I am flexible on this due to the ability for it to be very open to both sides wrestling, I'd enjoy the full 10k chars per Round for this.
This is my favourite of the three topics and needs to be delicately handled by both of us, regardless of side. Let's make a debate we're both proud of.
Please be reasonable and do not force us into the roulette, I have made clear offers. If I were in your shoes, I'd go for topic 2 unless I really wanted to be Pro for topic 1 or 3. If you go topic 3, I will Kritik you into the ground and play very nitpicky as that is the optimal play for Con there.
