Trudaeu himself said on twitter it would be government approved facilities.

No one in 1941 was saying the Japanese were being punished when they were forced to move into internment camps

@oromagi
To deny the right and freedoms of people is a violation of human rights. People can wear a mask and do their activities. Their should be no excuse to lockdown, let alone place people in government zones

"First things first, the women did the right thing by resigning herself. To make mistakes in such a field despite years of experience can not be tolerated. If a pharmacist were to give the wrong drugs to a patient, they would be fired and likely sued for negligence. I don't think that she meant to kill him, but can she use her brain? She had 5 seconds to distinguish between a gun and a taser and she couldn't do that? Pathetic"
Um... so that "mistake" - which we can totally prove is a only a mistake - can be rectified by simply resigning? Can we not see how this is a problem, she should be charged, at the least, for manslaughter. I mean, why wouldn't she, she accidentally killed a guy right? 
I suggested she be charge for negligent homicide


"No I do not think this was an intentional act. He was pulled over for having an expired registry. If you have a warrant for an arrest, if you are caught, the cop can pull you over. The guy ran and fled, and a taser can be used at the time"
Riight - you see - the problem here is that black people tend to be shot more than white people, and also tend to be unarmed more often than white people, so.... the general trend would suggest that this person did it intentionally, right?
The general trend also suggests that black people commit more crimes than white people and black on black crime is higher than black on white crime. 
That's what the general trends say, now, we can't automatically assume that's the case - but we can say its at least likely to be the case? Right? Now, what evidence do we have that this person did this accidentally?
If she intentionally meant to kill someone, she wouldn't have said, oh shit I shot him and scream "Taser taser taser"
That a taser and a gun are the similar enough in size, shape, and weight that one could mistake one for the other.... a problem - guns are on average twice the weight of a taser, they are longer, and are shaped radically different.... and cops are trained for fast response - so... the evidence seems to point away from the assertion that she made a mistake.
Again, you haven't been in that situation, neither have I. Yes there is a difference and it was HER fault for not correctly drawing a taser. A lot of adrenaline and stuff goes through your mind, especially if your suspect resists arrests and goes into their car. She fucked up, no one is denying that, but do you really think this is race charged.

So, in conclusion, the evidence -in general- seems to point that she didn't make a mistake, and the evidence in general points away from the assertion that she made a mistkae. So.... most likely they purposely killed the guy? That's what the evidence most likely suggests, no?
I think her screaming "Taser taser taser" is enough to suggest she made a mistake. 

 "while I do think the officer should resign, I do not think it was race motivated. People make mistakes and to think that a mistake can't be made is foolish. Sadly it was a fatal mistake. I do think she should be charged with negligent homicide. First or second degree is not right for the case"
Negligent homicide? Its interesting that you point this out now, you see, it assumes that they made a mistake, but furthermore, it goes against what you said before: "First things first, the women did the right thing by resigning herself", No, the right thing would be turning herself in for homicide? Right? Why is resigning herself seen as a good thing whenever its about as good as slapping a bandaid on a 3rd degree burn? It seems that you don't believe she should be charged that strongly? 

No she shouldn't. People make mistakes and should suffer consequences. She has a family and 3 kids at home. To lock her away for life in prison when it was clearly negligent training seems like overpunishment

Fairy Tail Mafia Endgame
TOWN WINS

FourTrouble - You are Erza Scarlet. The fierce swordswomen from Fairy Tail, you are an S class wizard who has the ability to equip different armors and swords to give yourself an advantage at battle. You are a tough and fierce character, but also show your soft and kind side countless times. Because of your ability to equip different armors to give different abilities, you are a Maker. Each night you may make the Ataraxia Armor, Clear Heart clothing, or the Celestial Armor. You may give this armor to someone in the same night phase. You win with the town
Clear Heart (1x Vigilante) Ataraxia (1x Cop), Celestial (1x BP)

iLikePie5 - You are Lucy Heartfilia. Loving and caring, you are the Celestial wizard from Fairy Tail who has collected 14 celestial spirit keys. You use these keys in battle, and later on, are able to use the powers of the keys onto yourself. You are a soft and caring person, but have big dreams to become a great wizard and publish the book you are working on. You go on lots of adventures with your “friend” Natsu, who invited you into Fairy Tail and helped you accomplish your dreams. Because of your big dreams that you wish to accomplish, you are the 1x Dreamer. If you are not visited at night, you can dream of 3 people one time. One of those 3 is scum. You win with the town.

Whiteflame - You are Grey Fillbuster. Laid back and relax, you are a wizard that can use Ice Make Magic, where you have the ability to create anything you want. This gives you a huge advantage in battle when you fight a villain as you can physically recreate almost anything. You used to be wild and reckless, but after the death of your master, you became more cautious yet relaxed. This causes you to look out and care for your “family” at Fairy Tail, as shown in a couple of episodes where you are genuinely concerned for the others safety. Because of your desire to keep an eye out for your friends to make sure they are OK due to your past, you are a Watcher. Each night you may visit someone. You can see who visited that person in the night. You win with the town

Coal - You are Cana Alberona. Outgoing and 99% of the time drunk, you are a wizard who can use your cards to make something into a reality. You have a crazy high tolerance for alcohol and you are extremely loyal yet carefree. However, it is revealed that your motivations are to find your father, who is said to be in Fairy Tail and you want to prove your worth by becoming an S-Class wizard. Because of your love for alcohol, you are the Drunk. Each night you select someone to “drive you home.” That person's action will be blocked for the night. You win with the town.

Lunatic - You are Juvia Lockser. You can use Rain Magic, a magic where you can make it rain and also control the water by blending into it. You are a quiet and shy person, but soon become madly in love with Grey. You care a lot for Grey and do so many things for him when he seems to do nothing returns. You are so loyal, that instead of giving yourself blood when in a battle with your magic, you gave some of yours to Grey to heal. Because of your undying loyalty to Grey, you are the Protector. If Grey were to die in the night, you would kill the person who killed Grey and then you save Grey, but ultimately killing yourself at night. You win with the town.

Earth - You are Jellal Hernandez. You have a plethora of different magic abilities that make you a strong wizard. Childhood “friend” of Erza, you were corrupted by Zeref and were evil for some point until Wendy healed you, where it was revealed you lost concisus and didn’t remember anything that happened. You soon figure out what happened and wish to atone for the sins you committed since your reputation is ruined. Because Erza and the others know of your innocence but the rest of the magic world does not, you are the Miller. You appear guilty on cop investigations. You win with the town.

MisterChris - You are Mirajane Strauss. An S-ranked wizard in Fairy Tail that summons Demon Spirits, your magic ability starkly contrasts your real life personality. Soft and fragile, you are one of Fairy Tail’s strongest members, but are also frequently the cover girl on Sorcerer Weekly due to the charm you present. Everyone in the guild loves you and the personality you bring and you are loved globally due to the Sorcerer Weekly magazines. Because of your popularity and how everyone loves you, you are Loved. It takes one extra vote to lynch you. You win with the town.

RationalMadman - You are Doranbalt. A magic council member that has the ability to manipulate memories, you were assigned on a mission to investigate the inner workings of the Magic Guild and erased your own memories of Fairy Tail in order to do so. Because you investigated the magic council successfully, you are the Cop. Each night you may choose someone to investigate. They appear either innocent or guilty. You win with the town.
------------------
Oromagi - You are Natsu Dragneel. You are a Dragonslayer that can eat fire and uses fire for it’s magic. You are a loud and crazy character that always looks to have with someone due to your fiery attitude. You can also consume other elements besides your own, and while other Dragon Slayers can do the same thing, you do it more than others in the series. Because of your use of different elements for attacks, you are JOAT 1x Role Cop, 1x Framer, 1x Lookout. You win with the mafia.

Speedrace - You are Zeref Dragneel. Brother to Natsu, you were once a peaceful person who wished to leave in peace. However, you committed violent sins in the past and wished to live in isolation to atone for the sins you committed where you realized that death is inescapable and wish destruction to the world with end until you reform, only wishing to make peace with Natsu. Because of your wish to be unseen and be peaceful despite, you are a Ninja. Each night you may kill someone. It will not appear on any tracking or watching results. You win with the mafia
=====================
Speed and oromagi failed to submit any night actions at all in the NP. I had no time to wait and simply stated if no one submits an action. Oromagi also resigned from the game

The theme was Dragneels vs Rest. I gave fake claims to both sides

Town MVP: Pie
Pie had really good logic going in this game and was right about a lot of his read

LVP: Speed
Speed claimed a Hider when oromagi already soft claimed Hider

I think scum dug themselves in a hole with Speed pushing oromagi into it. Speed was typing in the Discord but was never active in the game and then screwed over oromagi by taking his claim given.

Sorry the game ended soon. Would've like to see this game fully complete but oh well

The Case of Daunte Wright
The Facts of the Case
  • Daunte Wright had a warrant for his arrest
  • The dashcam video clearly shows that Wright ran away and attempted to resist arrest
  • The dashcam video shows the officer indicated to grab "a taser." Instead the gun was pointed and shot the man
  • The cop realized that she accidentally used the gun instead of the gun
  • Officer resigned after knowing of her mistake. The officer didn't have a track record and this was her first mistake
The Opinion
  • First things first, the women did the right thing by resigning herself. To make mistakes in such a field despite years of experience can not be tolerated. If a pharmacist were to give the wrong drugs to a patient, they would be fired and likely sued for negligence. I don't think that she meant to kill him, but can she use her brain? She had 5 seconds to distinguish between a gun and a taser and she couldn't do that? Pathetic
  • No I do not think this was an intentional act. He was pulled over for having an expired registry. If you have a warrant for an arrest, if you are caught, the cop can pull you over. The guy ran and fled, and a taser can be used at the time
  • So while I do think the officer should resign, I do not think it was race motivated. People make mistakes and to think that a mistake can't be made is foolish. Sadly it was a fatal mistake. I do think she should be charged with negligent homicide. First or second degree is not right for the case

Just saw some jarring evidence. Appearantly Floyd weighed 300lbs and Chauvin weighed 140lbs. It would make more sense that there wasn't any bruises on his neck

I'm gonna say right now I'm a big dude, 6'3 1/2", 250lbs. Not the size of Floyd but still a bigger dude. I have friend that weight 120-130lbs who I've certainly had mock fights with. They never managed to injure me in anyway despite wrestling. Granted I was never choked for 9 minutes, but just some more jarring evidence

@coal
I'd agree with that statement. I think we both have similar takes in the social sphere of things. Thought I always find it someone challenging to identify your economic stances on many things. I've seen you take some pro-socialist stances more than capitalist stances, which I would label you as a Libertarian Left

@Intelligence_06
Taxes would increase, their would be mass amounts of debt that we'd be in which we would have to cut spending from critical areas.

I do think we should reform healthcare privately, but UHC in general is just far too hard to implicate in a society with 300M people

DebateArt Member Interviews & Survey
Answered questions I cared about 
Politics:
1. Generally, how do you identify politically?
Libertarian-Conservative Centrism
2. Given the following 6 political identities, which do you most closely relate to? (Anarchist, Liberal, Centrist, Libertarian, Conservative, Authoratarian) 
Libertarian
3. If you were to choose 4 political identities as the most common - which four would they be?
Liberal Authoritarian Conservative Libertarian
4. If you were to briefly describe your general political identity - how would you?
Government is bad and government overstepping is a threat to democracy and freedom
5. If you were to briefly describe your closest-relative political identity - how would you?
Corporations are better than government
6. If you were to briefly describe the political identity which is directly opposed to yours - how would you?
Government is better than corporations
7. If you were to list the positions most integral to your political identity - what would they be? (listed from least to most important)
1. Government regulation is the biggest threat to democracy
2. Focus more on bringing jobs to America than providing welfare programs
3. Tariffs are bad for the economy
4.Immigration is beneficial to the economy
8. If you were to list the top 4 positions which you most agree with, what four would they be?
1. Privatization of Abortion Clinics (no federally sponsored)
2. Pro 2A
3. Anti Progressive Tax
4. Anti Regulation
9. Do you consider your political identity widely represented in your respective government?
I think most philosophies are represented but under the generic label of Conservative and Democrat
10. What questions, if any, would you add to this section of the survey?
-------------------------------------------------------------
Social:
1. What do you believe to be the biggest social problem of today's era?
Social media
2. How do you think this problem could be solved generally?
Less time on phone, promote environment that don't milk your beliefs. This website is a great way of how social media can be used to properly engage in debate and look at others people views. Mediums like twitter are shit places to get information
3. What do you think of these sexual/gender identities; Homosexual, Bisexual, Transgender, or Asexual?
Do whatever you want. America is about freedom.
4. What do you think of cultural labels such as "cultural marxists" or "TERFs"? (though not limited to those labels specifically)
People are too quick to generalize people as these names
5. Which, if any, circumstances do you believe justifies abortion?
R-word or if the mothers life is in danger
6. What do you believe to be the ideal home environment?
A home environment that practices freedom yet discipline. A child should not be limited and should have the freedom to stay as long as they want, but willing to accept discipline when it is needed. 
7. What do you believe to be the most important value to instill in young individuals?
Loving others
8. What do you think of cultural movements such as BLM or Feminism?

No

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Orthodox Christianity
2. Generally, do you believe religion to be important to society - how so or how not?
I believe that religion is beneficial in modern society.
3. Do you believe the religion you identify with is being persucted or bigoted against?
No
4. Do you believe that its important for education to instill relgious values into children?
Yes
5. Aside from the god of your religion, do you believe that religion is the most important aspect of life?
To a certain degree yes
6. Do you believe that everyone else, or the majority of people, should be of your religion?
No
7. What do you think of indivudals who do not affilate with your religion?
An individual
8. Do you believe that the church and government should be seperated?
Yes
9. Do you believe that individuals have a freedom from religion as well as a freedom to religion?
Yes
10. What questions, if any, would you add to this section of the survey?
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Science:
1. Generally, do you believe science to be an accurate way of interpreting and describing our reality?
Science is an ever changing subject. The reality we live now can change if more science and evidence comes out. I believe what we know now is true, but it may not be the full truth. So I'd yes to a degree but also no to a degree
6. Do you believe that climate change is happening at an increased rate?
Yes but it is probably not as drastic as made out to be
7. Do you believe that there are genetic differences between different ethnicities aside from melalin content?
No to a degree
8. Do you believe that IQ tests are accurate ways of measuring an individual's intelligence?
No

-------------------------------------------------------
Misc.

Depends

To a degree yes
4. What categories, if any, would you add or take away from the survey above?
