About Me:	Its supposed to be Theunknown (with an n), I am stuck with that stupid typo forever but I would prefer being referred to by Theunknown rather than Theunkown.
Beliefs:	Democratic, Rationalistic, Anti-materialistic, Atheistic, Anti-spiritualistic, Anti-Traditional, Humanist, Socialism. The anti traditional part is not me saying i hate every tradition of every culture, its simply to say that we need to define our behavior and morals by ourselves and not simply because of tradition.
Quotes:	"They say Socialism works until you run out of other people's money. I say Capitalism works until you run out of ideas to loot other people's money" - Theunknown "Socialism rewards laziness? Capitalism rewards greediness" -Theunknown

Theism (Christianity) vs Athiesm

My position is that God created the world more or less as we know it and everything in it, approximately 6000 years ago. It is my observation that everything we see in nature shows this, and also - very doubt in Creation proves that God exists. An agreement to debate proves that God exists. A debate presupposes truth. Truth presupposes God. You cannot get truth from an evolved meat machine. Open a shaken up can of Coke and a can of Sprite. The winner of this debate is the drink that produces...

Islam is a religion of peace

The name Islam in Arabic means peace. I will put forward arguments in favor of Islam as a religion of peace while Con will make arguments for Islam as a religion of terror. You can only quote the Qur'an or the life and teachings of the Prophet Muhammad. No quoting ISIS, Al-Qaeda or other terror groups since the debate is not about them but rather about Islam. They may claim to but do not represent Islam....

Agree: 0.00%
•	Abortion	ProComments Its not like we have a shortage of people. Besides when Romania banned abortions and Forced people to have babies (unwanted pregnancies) the crime rate went up 20 years later when those unwanted babies matured. Quality of people matters more than quantity.
•	Affirmative Action	ConComments Meritocracy must never fall.
•	Animal Rights	UndComments I dont want Animals to have even close to the same rights as humans, but they should not be tortured and killed for pleasure (killing them is fine, but use their meat, skin and anything else you can). Also, preserve biodiversity as much as possible.
•	Barack Obama	N/O
•	Border Fence	N/OComments It depends on which coutnries are being talked about.
•	Capitalism	ConComments I am still Pro-Markets (Market Socialism, see my comments on Socialism). Capitalism is just too falliable, especially Laizzeh Faire.
•	Civil Unions	N/OComments Just call it marriage for crying out loud.
•	Death Penalty	ProComments Only for people who are without doubt guilty AND are convicted of a crime that puts you for life in prison. Unless, you can trust that convict to do community service (Forced Labour) for the rest of his/her life.
•	Drug Legalization	UndComments Marijuana denitely, not sure about the hard drugs though.
•	Electoral College	ConComments Its severly undemocratic. Based on historical figures, >5% of time the guy who loses the popular vote will become president of USA. That is an awful percent of the time to get wrong for a country like USA. I mean if Al gore came into power instead of Bush, the world (atleast Iraq, and USA) would be a much better place.
•	Environmental Protection	ProComments What idiot wants to destroy the environment?
•	Estate Tax	N/O
•	European Union	UndComments I know too little
•	Euthanasia	ProComments Personal choice of a person to live or to die.
•	Federal Reserve	N/O
•	Flat Tax	ConComments Unfair for the lower income classes
•	Free Trade	UndComments It really depends on the circumstances. There is no one size fit all.
•	Gay Marriage	ProComments Let them do whatever they want, I dont care.
•	Global Warming Exists	ProComments Of course
•	Globalization	UndComments No strong opinion on either side.
•	Gold Standard	N/O
•	Gun Rights	N/OComments As long as you don't have severe mental illness or have a criminal record.
•	Homeschooling	N/O
•	Internet Censorship	ConComments Hell no, I would go a step further and say that the internet should be something that every single human should be able to access and enjoy at NO cost.
•	Iran-Iraq War	ConComments Why would you be pro war?
•	Labor Union	ProComments I would go further than this to say that there must be democratic control over the workplace.
•	Legalized Prostitution	ProComments It is their personal choice to use their bodies to do pleasurable activities and earn money. Unless one party is forced to do something, i see nothing wrong with this. It should also be illegal for a person with Sexually transmitable diseases (STD) to become a prostitute. This is good I think because government can regulate prostitutes and lower the rates of STDs.
•	Medicaid & Medicare	N/OComments I don't know the Complex Healthcare system of the US. I support Universal Education and Healthcare for industrialized countries. Underdeveloped coutnries need to industrialize and develop their economy before they can afford universal healthcare.
•	Medical Marijuana	ProComments legalize it even for recreational
•	Military Intervention	ConComments It causes only more problems. I miss the isolationist US.
•	Minimum Wage	ProComments In a capitalist society the minimum wage cannot be too high (as it will be worse for the lower classes since less jobs and rise in prices). But it should exist at a low amount in a capitalist society with a higher min wage as society becomes more socialistic.
•	National Health Care	ProComments As long as the country is wealthy enough and won't plunge the country into debt. So it depends on the situation but ideally Pro.
•	National Retail Sales Tax	ProComments Especially luxury goods. Tax keeps the roads paved people!
•	Occupy Movement	ProComments I see nothing wrong with asking for more socio-economic equality. Not perfect equality. But definitely not the current situation.
•	Progressive Tax	ProComments Far fairer than flat tax
•	Racial Profiling	ConComments Race should not matter. Human = Human.
•	Redistribution	ProComments Oh just the silly Pro-egalitarian me choosing this horrid 'socialistic' stance.
•	Smoking Ban	ConComments Regulate it severly, and educate people. Banning it will be a total catastrophe. Illegal trades will happen and 'tobacco cartels' will develop. Only gangsters will truly benefit from Smoking ban, like Al Capone during Alcohol ban in US. Therefore, Its best to regulate it heavily and not allow smoking when other people are around.
•	Social Programs	ProComments Pro Socialist
•	Social Security	ProComments Pro Socialist
•	Socialism	ProComments I believe in Market based Socialism. Democratic control of the workplace, you provide goods/services with your own labour/skill and you earn based off of the amount you have produced times the Market price for the good/service you provided. Assuming a perfect market, this will mean that workers who provide goods/services requiring more skill/labour compared to those that don't will earn proportionately more. If you work twice as hard or smart, you earn twice as more.
•	Stimulus Spending	ProComments Helped get the US and Germany out of the Great depression. There sometimes needs to be government intervention in the market with demand side policies.
•	Term Limits	ProComments Without it, a country is under threat of becoming authoritarian. Sure a good leader can just stay out of power one term and come back the next! no problemo.
•	Torture	ConComments Torture is a violation of fundamental human rights. No human being, regardless of their crime, should ever be subjected to torture. Kill them if you must, but not torture.
•	United Nations	ConComments While I approve some of their organizations, these dogs are mere puppets of the USA. The United nations, though better than the League of Nations, is a joke.
•	War in Afghanistan	UndComments Really hard to decide one way or another. Taliban had to go, but is it so bad that the world must surrender to the Hegemony of America?
•	War on Terror	ConComments Ironically, America has terrorized the Middle east (thousands of innocents were killed causing fear and hence terror). This has made it easier for extremists to recruit people as the people would get a chance to take revenge on the Americans who ruined their country. Both sides are fools who screwed the world up.
•	Welfare	ConComments This is coming from a pro socialist mind you so dont just reject me as a capitalist greedy pig. I am not against the concept of welfare. Only think that it should be replaced with something else. Negative taxation is more egalitarian because under welfare, you do not have to work. But negative income tax requires you to work. However, I will tolerate welfare only given to the disabled, sick, those in between jobs( though not more than 3 - 4 months).
