The Problem of Suffering

I maintain that the existence of suffering does not disprove the existence of an all loving, all powerful, and all knowing God. I will defend this claim by proposing a version of the free will defense, namely that it is unjust for God to force people to be in union with Him in heaven and therefore He must allow people to journey towards a relation with Him. This free journey though allows for people to deviate and therefore commit actions that result in suffering. More can be said about all of this, but I will allow an opponent to respond to see how this argument holds up.
USA: Republican Rule

I'm confused about your stance. It sounds to me like you think the GOP will do what Democrats have been trying to do for years now, that is, cut military spending and spend on other programs, such as infrastructure. They aren't going to do that. It would be completely uncharacteristic of them. It sounds to me like we're on the same side here. We both disagree with the war/s in the middle east, and we agree on improving infrastructure, passing immigration reform, and spending less on the military to do it. Those are progressive values, and ones I do not think will be prioritized in the 115th congress or during Donald Trump's Presidency. http://www.presidency.ucsb.edu... (Democratic Party Platform 2016)
USA: Republican Rule

I do agree with that a lot, but I think the wars were a mistake. The Iraq war was a mistake, as well as many others now..But the GOP is all about being conservative, and if we save money and cut military funding, we will be able to use more of our money on more important things, such as fixing local services, ect. We also need to use money on fixing our economy and immigration. In short, the GOP must cut a lot of military funding, and we can use the saved money on other budgets and programs. Therefore I think the GOP will do alright, but I am yet to believe Trump will be a positive model in carrying out these ideals. position: GOP will do okay, and Trump is not likely to do these things
USA: Republican Rule

I wouldn't say that the United States is entering a period of Republican Rule now, any more than The United States was entering a period of Democratic Rule in 2008. It's a constant cycle of up and down, and right now the ball just happens to be in their court. But the last time Republicans held as much power as they do now, America did not do good or prosper. President George W. Bush and the US Congress ruined President Clinton's Balanced Budget, launching us into two expensive wars in a failed attempt to stimulate the economy, while simultaneously lowering the nation's tax revenue. His policies led to the greatest financial collapse since the Great Depression. Admittedly, all of that happened in the past. But I bring it up because I don't think Republican Lawmakers really learned anything from what happened, instead pinning it on Obama. There's no reason they won't make the same mistakes again. As far as being seen as a positive or negative figure, I think PEOTUS Trump is already viewed with negativity and, unfortunately for the country, ridicule across the world. For example, here's a sampling of how the world's biggest foreign media outlets reacted to his election: http://www.globaltimes.cn... (China) http://www.liberation.fr... (France) http://www.nzherald.co.nz... (NZ) https://twitter.com... (Germany) Aside from the media, it seems to me that foreign powers have been testing Trump since he won the election, and he's failed miserably on every measure. For example, when China took a US ROV from international waters, he threw a twitter tantrum. Then, when they said they'd give it back, he tweeted that "they should keep it". That does not look good diplomatically, nor does it set a safe precedent internationally. President Obama has spent eight years working to build up the United States' reputation, only for Donald Trump to start tearing it down. It's a remote possibility that he will undergo a complete change of character before his inauguration, but at this rate it looks to me like he will be a negative figure in representing the US.
USA: Republican Rule

With honesty and careful thought, I believe that America, under Republican rule, will do good and we will prosper. Before I say why, i'd like to take a moment to state that I also respect Obama, and other hard working democrats out there. Now, time to get started:). I firmly think that we spend to much money on unnecessary programs and products. We are going further and further into debt, and we are not projecting power from bankruptcy court. I agree with Pres-Elect Trump's economic positions, but disagree with some of his stances on immigration and foreign policy. What I need to know right now is, is Mr. Trump going to be overall a positive, or negative figure representing the U.S. *no harsh judging based on responses*

2016 Equestrian Presidential Election.

Discord: I lie? I do no such thing. Here, let me show you evidence: [snaps fingers] *A "past ghost" of Luna appears. Past Luna: "... It would be impossible without tracking the food. Somehow Pinkiemania has made horse meat untastabled in her cupcakes somehow. " *Past Luna disappears*Discord: See? I make no false accusations. Luna made a generalized comment about "made horse meat untastabled" (is that even a word?), never mentioning how the FDA would manage to test out these meat. How will these FDA even gain the slightest hint that it is poisoned? The answer is, they can't. On the other hand I have magic and Pinkie has her Pinkie sense. Now, to address her "evil twin", it's probably a criminal mastermind painted herself to look like Pinkie. After all, when I watch over Pinkie while she sleeps--Pinkie: YOU WATCH ME WHEN I SLEEP!! THAT'S SO CREEPY! Discord: Oh well yes, I have nothing much else to do, I can sleep in the morning or have naps in the afternoon. Anyhow, I didn't notice any disturbance, so Pinkiemania can't be Pinkie Pie. As to address Rainbow Factory, closing it down wouldn't help either. It would greatly descrease production. As I said before we would keep a close eye on them and do lots of background checks to make sure the workers are trustworthy. For now we'll replace the workers just in case they happen to be co-conspiritors. My opponent accuses me of grabbing a changeling, but cannot prove so. And even if I "cheated" by using a Changeling, it only highlights how I can arrest changelings and manage to let them work under my command. Hey, if it was truly rebellious wouldn't it NOT turn or turn into something else? Now to talk about the hackings, I was only trying to view to see if any virus were on those computers. Not only so, my program can oversee the processes and prevent evil ponies from contacting each other via email or face-time. Sure, an over-whelming amount of me can blow the system, but that just proves how awesome I am.Rainbow Dash: Hey, you stole my quote!Discord: Shut up Rainbow Dash. [snaps finger to zip Dashie's mouth shut]Now then, I've addressed everything. I believe that my policies are gazillions of times better than my opponent's for the reasons I [snaps finger, summons suitcase] I rest my case. [Suitcase snores]
2016 Equestrian Presidential Election.

Princess Luna: YOU LIE! *In Canterlot Voice* Twilight Sparkle: Calm down Princess, you don’t need to release Nightmare Moon again. Princess Luna: *Blushes* Sorry *Voice returns to normal* I have anger issues…. Anyways, my opponent is twisting my words much like his horn. You see the Pony meat is tasteless to the average pony, but the FDA will be able to test the foods and be sure what’s there and we will be able to find Pinkiemania. We can also help verify the amount of food and the value will go up and thus we can export more goods to the Changeling Empire and other places to our the Equestian economy. My opponent is making food out of thin air which makes me question where he is getting it. Surely he isn’t working with Pinkiemania, or is he? To add to that, if Pinkie’s senses are as keen as we all know them to be then why hasn’t she found Pinkiemania? Or is she really Pinkiemania since they look so similar? My opponent still believes that we are still safe from Rainbow Factory, but he needs to remember that there is many co-conspirators that also work there, we know that Wooden Toaster is one, but we do not know much about the others concidering those that go in don’t normally go back out. With that being said how could someone capture her so quickly. It’s obvious that my opponent is co-consipirating with Cloudsdale people. Secondly are we really sure that is really Rainbow Dash and not a Changeling? This is apparent that my opponent just fished up a Changeling and made it turn into Rainbow Dash for the pure fact that it would give him a few votes. So in theory and fact my opponent hasn’t done a thing. Twilight Sparkle: You see my opponent is still on it about trying to cut down on the hackings, but she doesn’t realize that quantum amount of the byproduct that this causes on the mental estate of every pony. Discord has even been caught wire tapping and hacking into personal computers. As seen here. Most of his ideas could have been stolen from Trixie, who ran against him in the primaries which makes sense on why they seemed to agree so much. Princess Luna: My opponent has stated that he plans to manipulate time, but this shows the crookedness of his ways that he still hasn’t learned from his past mistakes of his chaos. What makes you so sure that he won’t do that again as I had showed through the first commercial that I that aired showing that he is that we are a mere unit that is a steping stone onto his way on ensuring that he is a royal Monarch again. He has done this twice and he is poised to surely do this again and his plans show the exact motives of his running. Twilight Sparkle: Hah! I knew it! My opponent’s here are running a conspiracy while they captured Rainbow Dash they are now going to free her to kill more ponies for this showing that Discord is going to use a dangerous Presidential Pardon. Princess Luna: I thank you all for your time and hope you vote for me. Remember a vote for me will double the fun. Pinkie Pie: FUNNNNN! AppleJack: Now let’s go to commercial. Commerical 1: () Commercial 2: () Commercial 3: () AppleJack: Now we're back. Discord, you're finial thoughts on things.
2016 Equestrian Presidential Election.

Pinkie Pie: Gasp! I'm going on a rampage? I KNOW I'd never go on a rampage! Even to me, me going on a rampage is crazy! Me would never go on a rampage! Discord: Please ignore my assitant's rambling. Now, my opponent talks about how it's nearly impossible to find Pinkiemania... or in fact, spot the poison in her food. But this demolishes her original plan, because the FDA is worthless know that we know Pinkiemania's food poisoning can't be spotted by the FDA. On the other hand, my plan still works out because Pinkie has her pinkie senses, allowing her to learn whenever food is poisonous. I can also use my magic to make the food clear and edible (and although the design may look really awry....) it's better than wasting money on the FDA, which my opponent admitted couldn't surpass the mastermind Pinkiemania.Now, to address the Rainbow factory, I clearly understand the threat of Rainbow Dash. I will personally see to it that she is arrested as soon as possible. In fact, she is already trapped in this cage. *snaps fingers* [R.D. appears in a cage]R.D.: HUAH? I DIDN'T DO ANYYYYYYYTHINGGGGGGGGGG NOOOOOOOOOO HEEEEEEELLLLPPPPP MEEEEEE SISTERRRRRRRRRR ARHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHDiscord: See? We are perfectly safe from Dashie now.[Rainbow Dash gnaws on the cage] Pinkie Pie: You think people can hack ME? Hack ME? Don't talk about hack "me", they can't even Hack. Or for that matter, I'll make sure they won't even "ha"! You know I'll hire those techno-experts so that King Sombra and the Changelings have no chance at even "Ha-ing" my computers and monitors. Plus, I can track down the sources with those new antennas so we can get find and rid of them once and for all!Discord: [looks intently at Luna] My princess, in my life I have never known a 3 hour deduction to be LESS than 40 minutes! Why, certainly I can manipulate time, but even at best all I can do is to make one minute last one second longer than two minutes. My opponent may have fooled you, but I'm certainly NOT fooled! The workers can certainly play that super cool game during their breaks (that, by the way, occur over the course of the work-day, not just at the end), and they'll be satisfied, instead of lethargically eagerly waiting for those 5 hours to be over just so they can play that addicting game. Pinkie Pie: You dare accuse of Doctor Whooves' vaccuum being able to suck in rainbows??! It does no such thing. And even if it does, we can still hire Rainbow Dash along other fast pegasi to quickly rebuild those rainbows. And our vaccuum isn't the only thing; we'll obviously plant more trees to help clean up the pollution.Commercial:

I-ready in schools

I can't help but feel like you're just some kid that's bad at it and wants to go complain about it on the internet. The lessons being so long that "children" (i.e. you) often forget sounds like a subjective problem, along with it taking "so much time" out of your life that you can't go outside and actually be a kid. Don't try to debate trivial topics like some website you don't like with people. You're just wasting everybody's time.
nuclear Disarmament

Unfortunately my opponent has forfeited the first round, I will state my opening arguments now.Complete Nuclear Disarmament is ImpracticalThe following is a list of countries with nuclear weaponry. USA Russian Federation United Kingdom France China India Pakistan North Korea Now on this list, only the first 5 countries have agreed to be constricted by the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons. This is an international treaty whose objective is to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons and weapons technology, promote cooperation in the peaceful uses of nuclear energy, and to further the goal of achieving nuclear disarmament and general and complete disarmament. The last 3 countries have not subscribed to this treaty, this means that among the entire list of states with nuclear weaponry, only 5 are bound by international treaty, and only 5 are committed to limiting the spread of nuclear weapons. This means that even if those 5 eventually destroy their nuclear stockpile, the last 3 countries have not made any commitment to curtail their nuclear weapons program. There is no real way to force these countries legally, to destroy their nuclear weapons. http://en.wikipedia.org... http://en.wikipedia.org... I will leave it at that for now, I will save some of my arguments for the next round, hopefully my opponent comes back to this debate in the next round.
Globalist Bankers

Since I do not understand your position, I will use a common piece of rhetoric used by republicans to assert my next argument; Trickle down economics. Trickle down economics is the idea that economic benefits provided to businesses and upper income levels will indirectly benefit poorer members of society when the resources inevitably "trickle down" to them. Though this is theory as of now, there is an argument to support this: If high income earners see an increase in disposable income, they will increase their spending and this creates additional demand in the economy. This higher level of aggregate demand creates jobs and higher wages for all workers. Alternatively, increased profits for firms may be reinvested into expanding output. This again leads to higher growth, wages and incomes for all. Lower income taxes increase the incentive to for people to work leading to higher productivity and economic growth. A fair amount of people who will support this. So let's call this a fairly valid argument?
Globalist Bankers

Thanks for calling me a fool, For I am one. I would like to debate with you on the fact it is for their own benefit. Now then, I would have to disagree with you on that. We are all selfish creatures, so what makes us different than them? We just play the game of the pyramid scheme all the time. All we want is to co-populate in life and produce children. My Argument goes as follows; The global bankers are doing their best to provide for their families with the luxury of wealth.
It's time to crackdown on the gay rock 'n' roll swindle

I should like to respond to her comments as follows: 1 – I do indeed contend that girls wouldn't have bought Ricky Martin's records if they knew he was a roaring poof - even f@g-hags. Have you heard "Livin' La Vida Loca"? Do you seriously think that any young girl in control of their faculties would part with her cash in exchange for that stereophonic spew if it was sung by a short, middle-aged fat man with a bald head who was wearing a pink fairy costume and ballet shoes? 2 – I agree that it is a common ploy of washed-up performers to attempt to revitalise their flagging careers by announcing they are gay, even if they are not, but I don't think this is the case with Ricky Martin – there's no doubt he's a homosexual - you only have to look at these pictures to see that: . http://jeromeparis.canalblog.com... . http://vivirlatino.com... 3 – As far as the benefit to young men who are secretly gay of has-been pop stars "coming-out" is concerned, I do agree that it may encourage them to do the same. However, surely it would encourage them more if pop stars didn't keep there homosexuality secret in the first place – after all Freddie Mercury out of Queen (the one that died of AIDS); Marc Almond out of Soft Cell (the one who collapsed on stage after drinking a pint of semen) and Boy George out of Culture Club (the one who was convicted on drugs offences in America and who has also served time in prison in Britain for kidnapping and assault) were all openly gay right from the outset of their careers and have been role models for many young homosexual gentlemen nervous about publicly declaring their sexuality. 4 – Good point well made, I concede this one. 5 – While I accept that some girls might be self-delusional and that in their heart of hearts they know that Ricky Martin is unlikely to find himself in a drab little housing estate in Stevenage or Ipswich or wherever and have cause to knock on the door of a plump 14 year-old girl's house, it is just possible. Just. But for him to then suddenly turn straight at the sight of her, carry her upstairs to her bedroom and have underage sex with her is stretching credulity even beyond the formidable imaginations of teenage girls. In conclusion, for the sake of all emotionally vulnerable adolescent females, I urge you to vote Pro and also lobby your political representatives to organise a Senator McCarthy-style witch-hunt for closet homosexual pop stars. Thank you.
