Beliefs:

I was born and raised one of Jehovah's Witnesses, but more recently in life I've strayed from my former religion. While I no longer subscribe to Watchtower's doctrines, I'm not entirely sure what to believe anymore. I remain unconvinced by abiogenesis, but I find many arguments in favor of evolution to be very strong, especially arguments based on human DNA (like the existence of endogenous retroviruses). Nevertheless, I still have these feelings that I can't shake sometimes that there is, perhaps, something greater out there. If there is an afterlife, I hope to find out the truth someday.

Donald Trump's Idea for a Border Wall is a Good Idea

The BoP for this debate is shared, meaning both sides will have to provide evidence to support their side of the argument. I will be arguing that Donald Trump's border wall is *not* a good idea, while my opponent will argue that it is. Round 1: Acceptance, opening statement Round 2: Opening arguments Round 3: Rebuttals Round 4: Counter-rebuttals, closing statement No kritiks or trolling.

A carpet mat can burn lightning with enough heat.

Carpet mats have been shown to do devastating damage to humans themselves because of the natural heating it has. You see, this process is not at all a difficult concept. Remember that time when you were 8 years old and you rubbed your feet on the carpet for heat? That explains it all. The vast magnitude of friction contributes to that process of you heating up your feet, but such an amount of heat cannot be exerted in a few seconds just from friction itself. Carpet mats have natural heating that...

Agree: 0.00%
•	Abortion	ProComments When does life begin? That is the question many ask, but perhaps a more important question is, "when does a being deserve rights?" For me, it's not before birth, that's for sure.
•	Affirmative Action	ProComments I'm really torn here. I don't want minorities to have unbalanced privileges just because they're minorities. However, looking by the numbers, it's abundantly clear that minorities have real disadvantages. Therefore, I have to lean slightly on the side of pro. But regardless of whether we have affirmative action or not, we do need to create more social programs to aid the poor.
•	Animal Rights	ProComments The way this is set up is kind of confusing. I am definitely Pro animal rights, but the page on it kind of just talks about animal testing. Overall, if it can be proven that the tests are for the benefit of humanity, or even other animals, I'm alright with testing. So, I guess Pro either way.
•	Barack Obama	ProComments While not all of his policies have been great or effective, I agree with his intentions.
•	Border Fence	ConComments It'd be a waste of time and money. We have good relations with Mexico and this could ruin that. I don't believe that the immigration issue is a very big deal, and there are other ways of dealing with it.
•	Capitalism	ConComments Depends. I believe that the market has to be somewhat free in any non-communist system, but true free-market capitalism is utterly repulsive.
•	Civil Unions	ProComments Full marriage rights are better but there's nothing inherently wrong with this.
•	Death Penalty	ConComments Far too many innocent people are killed. Plus, it's just wrong. By killing murderers, we're just stooping down to their level.
•	Drug Legalization	ConComments I am only for the legalization of marijuana, not the rest of currently illegal drugs.
•	Electoral College	ConComments Disproportionate and completely non-representative, this doesn't do its job properly - representing the citizens of the US. I might have a different opinion if there weren't better solutions, but there are plenty of better systems for Republics like the US.
•	Environmental Protection	ProComments As was stated before, none of the negative impacts of these protections are really realistic. Having some regulations isn't going to halt the economy. We need to preserve what we have while we still have it.
•	Estate Tax	ProComments I'm not strongly for estate tax, but given that it would only have a big effect on the rich, I don't think that it's really that unfair.
•	European Union	ProComments I'm all for groups that help keep peace an union between nations.
•	Euthanasia	ProComments With a right to life comes a right to death.
•	Federal Reserve	ConComments While it is true that there haven't really been posed many alternatives, the question here is simply whether you are for or against the federal reserve. It's as simple as that. The reserve is corrupt and was just a bad idea.
•	Flat Tax	ConComments Favors the rich and hurts the poor. It's an unfair collection of taxpayer money that forces the poor to give up what is worth much more than could ever be worth anything to the rich.
•	Free Trade	ProComments I have always been for a regulated economy. However, I do realize that we need some market freedoms, and I'm okay with free trade as long as it doesn't go towards extreme market freedom.
•	Gay Marriage	ProComments Keep religion out of politics. Church and state were meant to be separate. Beyond religion, I don't think there are very many good points that can be made against gay marriage. We must be fair to all.
•	Global Warming Exists	Pro
•	Globalization	ProComments I feel like most of the problems associated with globalization aren't because of globalization itself; it's with unrestrained corporate power.
•	Gold Standard	ConComments There are a number of real issues with this. The limited supply doesn't mean the currency will be stable, and there aren't really any reasons why we should switch. We have a great deal of experience with our current economic and currency systems. We know how they work. Why switch to something that could cause economic havoc?
•	Gun Rights	ConComments I don't consider the ownership of a weapon specifically designed to efficiently and effectively kill humans a human right.
•	Homeschooling	N/OComments Not really sure what the debate is here.
•	Internet Censorship	ConComments Just a way for the government to tell us which opinions are right and which are wrong.
•	Iran-Iraq War	ConComments Name one good thing that came out of it. I'll wait.
•	Labor Union	ProComments I would consider labor unions to be peaceably assembling people, which is protected by the first amendment.
•	Legalized Prostitution	UndComments Being as liberal as I am, I feel like I should be a real supporter of it, but I just don't see its legalization as being necessary.
•	Medicaid & Medicare	ProComments While it's not without drawbacks, it's overall beneficial in my opinion.
•	Medical Marijuana	ProComments Morphine is also an addictive drug that's probably worse than marijuana, and yet no one seems to be arguing against its use in hospitals. Why are they with marijuana, which is arguably much less dangerous?
•	Military Intervention	ConComments It should only be used as a last resort. Barging into other countries and dealing with their problems rarely goes well. We should be helping with diplomacy, not military.
•	Minimum Wage	ProComments Necessary to maintain a reasonable standard of living for the poor.
•	National Health Care	ProComments Generally works pretty well. When only the rich have a problem with it, that's generally a good sign that it's fair IMO. Plus, it just makes sense to me.
•	National Retail Sales Tax	ConComments I don't find "Fair Tax" to be fair. It jeopardizes the stability of the middle class, and that jeopardizes the entire economy. Keep our current system.
•	Occupy Movement	ProComments Not very effective. Not very good, really. But I agree with its cause.
•	Progressive Tax	ProComments The rich complain just because they have to pay more with this system. Big deal. You pay more because you are able to pay more. It's much more fair to everyone.
•	Racial Profiling	ConComments I can't really agree with the idea that certain races are more likely to commit crimes. It just doesn't make sense and the statistics don't support it.
•	Redistribution	ProComments Of course. I find equality to be very important and I think that redistribution is a strong contributor to equality.
•	Smoking Ban	ConComments Unnecessary and almost certainly ineffective.
•	Social Programs	ProComments Social programs are essentially necessary for true equality in society. Working hard doesn't always grant success.
•	Social Security	ProComments The elderly need some support to keep them going after retirement. It's a necessity for ensuring good lives for the majority of the elderly.
•	Socialism	ProComments There are things that everybody deserves to have, and I believe that the government should provide these things. Hence, I am pro-socialism.
•	Stimulus Spending	ProComments I don't know much about Obama's policy specifically, but I do believe that government stimulus is what keeps markets stable, so of course I support stimulus spending.
•	Term Limits	ProComments I am only for consecutive term limits. I believe that we do have to have some way of preventing anyone from getting too powerful and overriding anyone else, but at the same time, if someone is a good ruler, they deserve to serve many terms.
•	Torture	ConComments Even the worst of people have basic human rights.
•	United Nations	ProComments Not particularly effective, but necessary. We need an organization to keep peace between nations.
•	War in Afghanistan	ConComments Another failure of the war on terror. We're just creating more enemies.
•	War on Terror	ConComments A noble cause, but it has hardly done anything good.
•	Welfare	ProComments It's not currently in its ideal state, but this is something we need for a just, equal society.
