I didn't know that Mairj was a George Wallace supporter lol. Didn't strike me as the type.

"Indigenous land" doesn't quite encompass it. Europeans built America, so they shouldn't leave it to "Natives" who have contributed <1% to its success.

Other than that, I would agree that mutliculturalism is a failure. However, why wouldn't segregation/balkanization of America suffice? Just cutting off pieces and letting each group have a slice would seem sufficient.

@Intelligence_06

I think you have it backwards. PRO is saying we should be proud of America.

And I don’t know that the outcomes would be very different. You generally are proud of your country if it is great.

I am very excited to see how this debate turns out. Have been looking for a good answer to this, but am more on the side of pro-pride.

Good luck to both of you!

Also saw the comment about your sister. I’ll send some prayers out for all of you.

First off, I agree with your position. Also, I don’t think Trump is like Hitler. I was saying that the same way you react to that claim, pro-choice people will react to the claim of their position being Nazi-like.
I do similarity lack some subtly related to Nazi/slavery parallels, myself. They can work if there isn’t a large stigma against your position. I did it in my capital punishment debate, but abortion is a very touchy subject that people have strong opinions about. So while you were correct in your points, it wasn’t good for appealing to voters.

@PGA2.0

Yeah, considering the major pro-choice bias on this site, it would behoove your argument to mainly allude to Nazis rather than being so upfront about it. You're correct about their devaluing of certain groups and then killing them.

However, think of how you react when people call Trump a "Nazi". You either zone them out or laugh at them because it sounds so ridiculous to you. In the same way, they are very sure that pro choice is the logical position, and they clearly don't see the connection it has to Nazis, otherwise they wouldn't hold the stances they currently do. So, first prove that pro-choice people are devaluing humans. Once you prove that they are biologically humans, and then prove that this human life is being devalued, and they accept those facts, then you can make progress with people. Then you start subtly pointing to parallels to show them how their manner of thinking might be destructive and that valuing all life is a better option. Let them come to the conclusion that pro-choice arguments are similar to Nazi arguments, rather than telling them right away that it is the case.

Because I read your debates and they are never substantive. I would not like to waste more time on you. If I was able to fit a debate in, I would like it to be worthwhile and thought-provoking, not responding to your incoherent rant about "white people bad".

Why did you delete your last message?

Also, this has nothing to do with who is indigenous to a region. It has a lot to do with who makes up the majority of the population and determining relative uses of things.

There really is nothing left to debate. You are wrong and seem incapable of grasping that. I won't waste any more time on you.

Couldn’t answer a simple question. Figures....

Raw numbers are meaningless for this comparison lol. It is like saying that more Chinese people commit crimes in China than white people do, so therefore Chinese people baaad.

Lol, tell me, which group is more dependent on welfare? The group that is 40% dependent or 13%?

Go on, you can do it. Which group would have 40% of its members starving on the street and having no health insurance without the group you vilify?

I'lL wAiT.!.!.!.!

@mairj23

I still stand by that..... If one group uses something more than 3 times more often per capita than the other group, I would say that group is a bigger financial problem, unless they paid more into it. That is by far not the case.

One group is a net contributor, while the other is a net taker. That is my point....

I hope you're not dropping a mic to that lol.

If you can follow a coherent thought process and understand how foolish you sounded, then I look forward to your response. If not, I will gladly embarrass you again.

@mairj23

Yes we pay more and receive more raw amount because of a larger population. Glad we can agree.

I’m saying that per capita, we pay a lot and receive relatively little. Do we agree there as well?

I mean, if you want to play the raw numbers game, I could show how white people pay most of the taxes for said welfare programs. If anyone, they would deserve to use them, even those they have the lowest usage rates. They pay more per capita and raw numbers.

Your Newport and malt liquor taxes don’t really add up....

This shows the share of servicemen by race.
https://www.statista.com/statistics/214869/share-of-active-duty-enlisted-women-and-men-in-the-us-military/

The maximum age of active duty military is 35 (at least for joining)

If you consider how many military-aged people are white, they are overrepresented.

"You basically want the benefits of living here, but you refuse to put in any real work..."

At 41.6 percent, blacks were more likely to participate in government assistance programs in an average month.
o The black participation rate was followed by Hispanics at 36.4 percent, Asians or Pacific
Islanders at 17.8 percent, and non-Hispanic whites at 13.2 percent.

https://www.census.gov/newsroom/press-releases/2015/cb15-97.html

Oof, yeah, white people really expect benefits without putting in work.

Also, white people are the majority of military members.

Well, the Hawaiian pizza isn't that bad if you take the pineapple off. I usually picked it off when my family got it.

The pineapple is supposed to be juicy and sweet. When you cook it on a pizza, it gets dried out and the pizza becomes unsavory.

It is scientifically proven that they also like the sound of nails on chalk board, they have higher chances of developing schizophrenia, and they are big fans of smooth jazz.

Truly sickening people. They should all receive 30-40 lashings per pizza defaced.
