The fat should be made to buy two seats on planes

I was involved in a rather unpleasant incident on a British Airways flight from Aberdeen to Heathrow recently. (1) The aircraft was an Airbus A319 with a single economy (coach) class cabin which was fitted with seats with a width of 17.0" (2) and the aisle seat I was allocated was located next to a grossly overweight gentleman, whose considerable girth was overflowing onto my seat, thus preventing me from putting the armrest down or fastening my seatbelt. I therefore challenged the man and here...

Solarman1969 refuses to debate me because he knows he can't win

rwebberc
Solarman1969

First off, I would like clarify what I mean by "win". Obviously, when Solarman takes up a debate, he knows he's generally not going to win the vote because of his far right wing points of view. However, he does seem to take some sort of satisfaction in finding opponents who don't know how to deal with his belligerence or who provide relatively weak arguments. I have debated Solarman in the past, and instead of responding to his personal attacks, I took his arguments at face value. I responded wi...

Woman are equal to men

Woman are equal to men. They just don't do the same things. Men are better than woman at some things, and woman are better than men at some things. I do not understand guys who think men are dominant. How can they?...

The U.S. economy is a fraud based on the Federal Reserve System of fiat money and legal-tender laws.

Virtually every transaction that takes place in the United States involves the exchange of goods or services for U.S. dollars, which, in reality, are "Federal Reserve Notes" (just check your currency). Where do these Federal Reserve Notes (FRNs) come from? Few of us ever stop to ask. The answer is: debt. When you deposit $100 in the bank, your bank may lend $90 of it, even though you can come back and claim your full $100 at any time. When someone borrows $90 from your bank and takes the chec...

In the beginning there was nothing, suddenly a big bang accored, from nowhere and started life, over billions of years we crawed from the waters and became human, clere and intelagen, we look back at the accident which accored. And did it actually happened or was there God which made us with pure purpose and meaning with every man and woman worthy or life with out sin. 1 fact before you begin, for the big bang to happen, the chances would be 10 to the power of 40,000, that would be like find...

The US government should give remuneration to people who were sent to jail and then proven innocent.

1. Family- - Its is unfair to the family because they love the person who was wrongly convicted - The person who was wrongly convicted can't make money so it put burden on the family - Convicts whose families are impoverished could starve or get sick 2. Unfair to Convict - The convict has to endure months to years of punishment because of the governments mistakes - That is unfair and because the gov't cannot turn back the clocks, they should make the person's life (which they ruined) bet...

This debate will not result in a tie

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, I am for the motion that this debate will not end in a tie. As a matter of fact, this debate will not end at all, assuming the the voting period is indefinite. Let us take an example. Say at a certain time there is a tie. However, the opposition is arguing that there will be a tie, so he is right. If he is right, then there is no tie. ARGUE THAT!!! thank you...

God is responsible for the creation of humanity.

Evolution by nature is haphazard. Judging from the lack of sentient life in the history of the Earth, intelligence does not seem to be a popular evolutionary trend. The existence of life itself and the tremendous fortune of Earth's placement that allowed life to exist are all startling coincidences which has led to the existence of humans in our present form. My position is that this is not an accident and is instead the work of another intelligent entity. To put it simply, without a divine enti...
