Don't forget she asked me to challenge her to the debate, and also accepted it as opposed to rejecting it.

She told me to challenge her to this debate in the thread she started in the politics section. It is just a spin on her pronouncement that she has a right to life. There is context to this, and BSH1 is aware the debate exists and asked her if she wanted to remove it, and she refused to answer no.

Well, hopefully you atleast do drugs. When you are homeless the days, feel like weeks and you need to do something to pass the time. Supa, go camping bro. Atleast you get some of the homeless experience, and I can relate to you better.

40% is huge. Hopefully I have the courage to accept an early death. I want my family to inherit enough to do something with.

It's getting cold outside. Alcohol is the best way to stay warm in the cold. You act like you have never been homeless before. Shelters keep you from getting a job, google it, and beer keeps you warm, have a few get buck naked and walk outside and see if the temperature bothers you. You need to be homeless, you have missed out on so much by having a roof over your head

Why don't we just kill the elderly so they are not harming the economy and the people they love by forcing them to change their diapers and such? This is why I think we should have health care rationing boards (AKA death panels). It would save us young bucks so much trouble

I'd rather live in the streets, and have chose it over a shelter before. Go stay in one for a week. It doesn't matter which one, just give it a shot.

Not only that but homeless shelters keep you homeless with strict curfues and time tables that make it impossible to get a job, without losing your spot in the shelter

I have no problem with her backing out but if you read that thread, she asked me to send her that challenge, and I made it clear it wasn't going to be personal maybe an antinatalist argument or something that an extreme environmentalist would argue

That was not an unsolicited debate challenge. I asked you publicly if you would like to debate another spin on the you have a right to life argument.

@Analgesic.Spectre
I.Q. predicts income and educational achievement (things which, I hope we can agree, are indicators of intelligence) better than parental socioeconomic status. Not only that, but I.Q. is the best predictor of educational level, occupational level and income level (again, more indications of intelligence). Surprisingly, I.Q. even beats 'grades' as a predictor of educational level. The average sample size for the groups is approximately 97,000:
I think IQ is an excellent indicator of intelligence, I don't know about the whole educational level or occupational level corresponding to intelligence. Maybe I'm biased because I am a bit of an outlier. When I would take the more reliable IQ tests in school and by several psychologists who wondered what the fuck was wrong with me, I would usually score between 160 and 165. I usually don't mention the number publicly and I certainly would never tell anybody in my offline life what it is. Here the worst you can do is doubt me or call me a liar. In my personal life it can intimidate people for whatever reason.
My educational level is probably the lowest on the site. 9th grade is my highest level of education. I had to drop out of school to raise my siblings who I got custody of when I was emancipated at 16. I always have panic attacks when I start rapidly rising the ranks at work, and quit in a way that ensures I burn all my bridges. So I'm at a job only making 50,000 a year. I get the feeling that most the people visiting this site either make 6 figures or will shortly after finishing school.
Granted, I was despite the high IQ also considered learning disabled as a kid, but how exactly does a 165 IQ lead to never making it past the 9th grade and never achieving even mediocre financial success? I know some of my bosses have to have like 2 digit IQs as well by how they run their business, so high IQ is certainly not correlated with their positions.

I think being cryonically preserved should be a right. If we figure out how to reanimate and heal people in 1000 more years, it would be a shame for the Earths current inhabitants to unneccessarily die.

Would you like to debate over whether you should die or not? I'll take "Pro, you should die" I did forfeit the only two debates I started here, but I promise I won't forfeit that one

You are lucky @bsh1 refuses to moderate and I want to avoiud prison, you unchristian piece of shit. Yes I do have the right to live.
You're probably alone in that respect. The people who talk to me have done so in confidence, but I think they have made their opinions public, and the feeling I get is most people think BSH1 applies the COC in an autistic and silly way. I have no opinion at the moment. I haven't even read any of the older threads to know what his modding decisions were.

@ResurgetExFavilla
Read my response, the right to be born is equally absurd. After joining with an egg that may be fine, but prior to that it would be silly to say. Maybe I'm being pedantic, but the way you phrased it, seems like the right would extend even to the sperm I ejaculated onto the screen while writing this.

@YeshuaBought
I think the issue is you have no ideal what the term "rights" imply. You use it the same way somebody would use the word "prefer". If somebody says you don't have the right to life, they may still believe you deserve to live. The problem is further escalated because you also have very little flexibility in your thinking and you ignore the point of view of others, not trying to understand what they say.
You deserve to live, and it is great thing you do, I'm sure you make a positive impact on this world, but you don't have the right to live. Can you imagine what the "right to live" would force society to do. If the right exists for you, it by it's nature would be the only right that also is owed to the non living. Not just the dead and not yet born, but also to those who were denied the right to life because the sperm was not the lucky one to hit the egg.
If the living and non living both have the right, than mankind would be morally obligated to create a program that could determine every single aspect of a person's personality, and then duplicate every single combined possibility of those elements and strength of each element to make artificial intelligences that would display those personalities.
If you want to say that I'm wrong and only the living have the right to life, fine though I would disagree with that analysis of the phrase "right to life". This would mean that society is morally obligated to do everything in it's power to stop people from dying. The death penalty would be eradicated, going to war would now be unethical. It is better to be invaded than to defend yourself if the right to life exists. It would mean you can't pull the plug on somebody who is essentially a vegetable and the brain dead patients relatives would be obligated to pay millions to keep them artificially alive for decades. It would also obligate us to cryonically preserve everyone a moment before death to best preserve their ability to remain alive by being reanimated some day. This is not a world, I think you want to live in.

Moving a trailer often costs more than the trailer costs itself, especially if it is over 10 years old. It is highly susceptible to falling apart in natural disasters, even mild hurricanes. Nobody should buy a new trailer. If you buy a used one for a few thousand it may save you some money, but buying a new one is stupid, or a used one for more than $5000. If you are single, you can also usually rent a studio apartment for less than what lot rent would be, and it would hinder you less in your quest for pussy as well.

It would only leave us in a crisis for 6 months, while most minimum wage workers enjoyed their cocaine parties and whores, who would then return to jobs, so desperate for workers they would be offering a living wage to get people back to work. The real problem is real estate prices which are determined more by how much the owner can get for the property, than by how much a property is actually worth.

It's in the title. For example if all your problems in life at the moment can be traced to heroin addiction, will getting rid of the heroin, mean you have no problems? What about with government? What if I can trace every political problem to a decision made by a politician? Would getting rid of politicians eliminate all political problems? If you are in a relationship with an abusive person and all your current problems come from them, would getting them out of your life, solve all your problems and make you problem free? I can come up with a million scenarios, but just want everyone's personal thoughts.
It seems to me that getting rid of the source of all your problems should make you problem free, but does it?

@Outplayz
My concern was in regards to micro-managing... that is usually correlative to abuse of power. That's all i was trying to get across.
Micromanaging has gotten a bad rap. I have noticed my subordinates perform better when I do it, and oddly enough have better morale. Hell, the only time they actually work like a team is when I micromanage.

I don't have borderline, but think my fiance does. That has got to be the worst. You guys feel emotions so deeply. I have several symptoms of bipolar, and think I would get a diagnosis of it, but I'm pushing against it because I think my intense highs come from perfectionism caused by OCD, and the intense lows are just natural after doing shit, like over committing and doing 100 hour work weeks.

I'm in but put me on as a replacement if somebody else wants my spot. Working 50 hour weeks again, while also preparing to host a comicon style event that will most likely fail, despite me putting tons of effort into it. I am learning a lot from the process of planning one though, that will help me next time I plan an event.

i totally know the feeling and have been there. I’m glad you have found a psychologist and that you are better!
Most of it can likely be attributed to OCD. You have no ideal how much somebody telling me to get out of my head and live in the moment helps.

OMG. I feel like I have answered this question 20 times...probably because I have...You wouldn't know that, though. The answer is you cannot use the n-word but you can debate "that Black Americans have lower average IQs than white Americans and at least a few of those IQ points can be attributed to genetics."
I didn't finish reading through the stickied posts entirely, but putting something there might help if you haven't already done that.

I am indeed moderator, though if Airmax or Whiteflame ever wanted the job, I'd happily hand it over to them. I don't think it's gone to my head, but if it had, would I know? A bit of a mindf**k. Anyhow, some people think it has. How's life?
Will you stand behind that statement if I can convince either of those two to take on the added responsibility and hassle?
As far as life in general, I've had a bit of a mental breakdown, but think I'm recovering nicely, and talking to a great psychologist has helped me figure out why this has and routinely occurs. I'll maybe go into exactly why later, and if anyone is curious enough they can PM me, I'm an open book. How is your life?

@bsh1
. Derogatory words which apply to a specific class of people (as the n-word applies to black people) would generally fall into that category.
So if I just have a habit of referring to people as "MY Nigga", is that a violation of your policy? Can I do a debate that Black Americans have lower average IQs than white Americans and at least a few of those IQ points can be attributed to genetics, would that get me banned?

some people lie about extremely stupid shit, that people only pretend to believe to humor them. Those are the type of liars that really annoy me. My brother’s wife is one of them. I just google every retarded thing she says and immediately point out how stupid she is and then she twists it and says well I meant —insert unprovable counter retard claim—-.
