Okay, but is there something about my profile you find contradictory?
I know it's been a good while since you've posted that so if you don't remember or respond it's fine.

He turns songs I never would've like good with his parodies. I'm listening to him right now even, he's one of my favorites.

And yeah, if vaccines cause so many autoimmune disorders like allergies & asthma, Type 1 diabetes, asd (sure seems to be one) and whatnot, yet there's a strong need to hide it from us, it would sound like to me that we probably wouldn't be taking vaccines if it wasn't hidden from us and it probably isn't worth it...

Yeah, just reading a lot is probably it...

But I think talking with others plays a part in it, too.

Like, if you are trying to find the truth about a topic, you will naturally have a question about it, research it, and then become closer to the truth. And you probably will find a lot of interesting stuff you didn't even think or know about on your way.

But sometimes if you talk to people, you will learn a lot more about a subject that you would've never thought of to even look up. That can be true about just surfing the internet, too, but yeah, I'm thinking talking would help a lot.

(complaining a little bit again like I can surely tend to do) By the way I've been really disliking my life for like the past 3-and-a-half years, and I sometimes am just in the mood to complain and all...

I never did anything, including learning, video games, exercising, or just anything, and literally spent the past 3-and-a-half years doing I don't even know, complaining about how I don't do anything like I would do a lot? And touching myself all the time like I wish I didn't do and know I shouldn't do, also I have to watch my baby brother so much...

I also felt like I want time to actually focus, and also I plan what I think I should do and like feel like I have to do everything perfectly or else I'll tend not to do it ..., and when I don't feel like I have that time I don't really do anything but wish I had that time to get started on what I want.

I know I didn't write very clearly, but I meant I get how you could hold a view on an abstract subject, and I was trying to switch over and say "how do you know stuff like that" to everything else.

When I read other people talk, they will talk like they actually know the subject and have dealt with it it seems like.

Like they feel confident that what they think is true, and they will say that x is a scam or that the problem with it isn't this but it's this.

Like I get how to be confident with abstract stuff like philosophy, but where on the internet do you visit to know stuff like that.

An example is this that I had just heard someone say and paraphrased, that vaccines are some sort of scam that's being kept because it makes them a lot of money but that it doesn't cause autism or something.

Like I don't get it. How do you not trust the government but you do trust a site on the internet or you trust these real-life experiences that how did you get and all this and everything I don't get it.

A pervert how I define it is someone who develops fetishes that lead them to do bad things, which in my eyes would be like having sex with someone of your own gender or little children.

Getting a Girlfriend and Wylted's meme
Hey everybody! Wylted just made (or found?) this awesome meme and put it on Discord!

I would like to ask...
1. Who does this (whether with Jews or something else)?
2. How _do you_ get a girlfriend?

I've probably asked #2 on your profile already, I just went around asking everybody that question, I think it's a good question after all, and I'd expect many of us debaters here on this site would sympathize with #1 as we are much more likely to discuss politics. I know I always do :).

Students should have an annual vote on which teacher to fire

Yeah like how does it even make any sense.

Students shouldn't necessarily be put in classrooms with bad teachers, but this isn't necessarily the way to do it.

Really most people should be going to private schools and this whole publicized school system is really terrible trashy trash.

Students or their families would have more control if we all weren't getting education from one place--the government!

Yeah, 'K.

I feel sorry for him, for all the students he's had, and all the other people in his life.

I'm sure he's mentally ill and can't function normally or understand what normal behavior really is.

Omega teachers typically try extra hard to get their job done, and will give as much homework as they want without any regard or care. They can't handle criticism and are always very mean and well-hated.

@Username
If we make a new big issues it should be broken up into sections, maybe like this:
67% Agreement
100% Political Agreement
100% Social Political Agreement
[Insert stuff here]
100% Economical Political Agreement
[Insert stuff here]
100% Philosophical Agreement
100% Metaphysical Philosophical Agreement
[Insert stuff here]
100% Epistemological Philosophical Agreement
[Insert stuff here]
0% Religious Agreement
0% Belief in God Agreement
[Insert stuff here]
0% Subject Matter Agreement
[Insert stuff here]

But Idk about that example though. There should definitely be stuff like philosophy on there though.

The teacher himself sounds pitiful.

He sounds 100% a disturbed Omega. Should be fired. What do other teachers think of him?

@Ramshutu
I'd think it'd be easier to vote pro-choice in an abortion debate.

Isn't an abortion debate essentially or at least typically a debate about whether or not it is moral to kill unborm babies?

Because of the nature of the debate, simply not considering immoral to kill unborn babies ought not to be considered kritiking, and therefore the burden of proof is on the pro-lifer. It is up to them to prove that you ought not to kill unborn babies and that morality comes into play in the debate.

That would be hard to do in my opinion and also require much specification to sound perfectly coherent.

@Jeff_Goldblum
That's interesting, could you give us some good examples of it? Ones where a conservative won the arguments, yet was voted against and lost in the end?

I haven't read many debates, but I would like to examine a few good ones and see if that seems true or not.


Also, I could imagine Conservatives losing a few debates from being too practical, not spelling things out enough for their opponent. They might expect their opponent to get their logic and be surprised when they don't, or go against it.

I could also imagine Conservatives losing because it seems that conservative positions are harder to debate.

Left-wing sources are often counted as more reliable than they are, and right-wing ones less.

And the Left-wing position is often a relatively nihilistic position, which is easier to debate as well. I also think leftists also tend to define things in favor of their own views.

Rationalistic positions, the ones (or most of them at least, and R does it a little more extreme and agrees with a little bit better positions than just those ones) RationalMadman supports are often simply just easier to debate. I see all of his positions to be similar to debater's positions, which is part of the reason why I voted for him in the Hall of Fame. He's sort of the embodiment of Rationalism and also the desire to debate.

RM, you don't like being called a gamma, but autism isn't an insult because of the intelligence associated with it? Vox Day, the one who created "Gamma," says that Gammas are smart, as well.
