Barack Obama is responsible for the assassination of Pierre Trudeau

Well then. I'll have one point. 1. Pierre Trudeau was not assassinated. Even if we were to assume that all of my opponent's extremely logical and convincing claims to be true, Trudeau died of prostate cancer [1]. This proves that Obama could not have assassinated Trudeau. [1] http://news.nationalpost.com... Plus, who would be able to assassinate this handsome fella? Just look at those twinkling eyes!

2) I'm saying that tax cuts aimed at the rich are not helpful during conflict with China. These cuts are not targeted to help the people who china can hurt. 3) Unfortunately, "healing" international ties may mean the US backing down. This will make it much harder to deal with those situations properly. Thus Trump is weakening our country. Also, There's a very good chance he'll win re-election. Behind Trump are millions of people who think Trump is great. Even after Trump goes away, His voters will not. Moreover, The systems and discontents that allowed Trump to take over the country are not going away. Trump is just an indicator that America is fundamentally unstable. The worst thing is that he's making it obvious that we cannot think in our own best interests as a nation. 4) Tax cuts don't stimulate the economy overall for very long unless they are targeted broadly. Giving money to rich people makes the economy smaller. This is one big problem with income inequality. Another problem is that political power shifts away from most people. You argued yourself that money is the maker of all things, So you should take this seriously. 5) I don't understand what you mean by motivation and incentives so I can't respond to this one. Stupidity and aggressiveness are not mutually exclusive. Therefore one cannot mistake one for the other. Aggressiveness is meant to expose weakness, But China's leaders are more likely to take damage than fold in front of everyone. Anyone would. He's turning international disputes into contests of ego. I don't see how that's gonna save us.

1. Oh, Okay. I just thought you had a personal anecdote within your county. (If you do, Go right ahead) 2. I'm failing to see your rebuttal here, You merely stated facts and opinions, Please elaborate. But I do see an element of inequality distress, To that I say: so what? If it allows us all to prosper, Why not? It's like a child complaining about not getting as many candies as the other kids during Halloween. Worst case scenario would be a civil war, But the likelihood of that is next to none. 3. I think you're right about this one. I can definitely agree with you about diplomatic ties being hurt or even severed (I'm Canadian and I can see it first hand), But this distrust is generally associated with Trump himself. So ties would definitely 'heal' once Trump is out of office, Maybe even fully recovered depending on the next administration. This implies that Trump wouldn't win the next election, Which I think most of us can safely say is true. 4. Sorry, Mb. I made a mistake and meant to discard the first line, But by that time I had already submitted (I posted a comment about this). I'm basically using your argument against you. Like you said the recession made people dislike immigrants and the working class in general. Thus, By stimulating the economy, Future social policies would also improve. This entire argument is referring to people's general misplaced hatred for Trump, In his social policies (the infamous wall, And immigration ban) they place too much importance onto it (this is largely related to personal opinion, But objectivity is required). 5. Again, So what? You're claiming motivation and inequality have a negative relationship, Which may be true to a certain degree. But the long run aggregate supply doesn't change with a decrease in population motivation. Even if incentives were lowered the market would simply find equilibrium with the long run aggregate supply (I'm aware this is an oversimplification, But the general gist is still there). You're mistaking stupidity with aggressivity. Also, Volatility always goes up in response to events like these (there's a name for this, I just forgot) you should never predict anything on how the stock market is doing in a small window of time; that's how you lose money. The only people that know the true impact of the truce is the ones who negotiated it, They're [both sides] calling it very successful, But chances are they're lying. So what? China is still in a bad position and outcomes don't look too great for them - the real truce comes when the 90 days are up, Which would most likely involve the abolishment or a contraction of "Made in China 2025". You have to remember that many other countries (South Korea, Japan, UK, Etc) REALLY don't like China's plan for a core material monopoly. Look at the future, Not what you see around you. Also, Bifurcated? Math major/enthusiast?

1. County or Country? 2. Tumeric fails to equate for the current ongoing trade war with China (yes, I'm aware there was a truce). You're right during economic prosperity a government should reduce its debt, And spend during bad times (expansionary monetary policies vs contractionary), But with the trade war (which is likely to escalate) Trump must prepare the country for any possible hits the Chinese economy could throw. By reducing taxes the Trump administration places more money in the hands of the population allowing for a protective barrier on said population from the trade war. This also reduces the consequences of a failure if the government were to take a big hit from the Chinese party. This does temporarily sacrifice social security, But, There are always sacrifices in any war. 3. What allies are you referring to? China's "exclusive" [from America] allies seem to be made up mostly by 3rd world countries in the middle east and northeastern Africa. The allies I assume you're referring to are the EU and Japan; both of which seem to remain on America's side, But who knows what could happen in the future. In that sense I suppose you're right, Buts its merely a risk that must be taken. 4. You misunderstood this. You're confusing social policies with social welfare. Regardless, Your argument is right (even though it doesn't relate). WIth an emphasis on future economic prosperity (keyword: future) Trump is doing the opposite of what you just described. A prosperous economy = prosperous social welfare & a depressive economy = a depressive social welfare (just basing it on what you said, Just look at the other side) 5. You say this as if the tax cuts are exclusive to the rich, They're not; https://www. Thebalance. Com/trump-s-tax-plan-how-it-affects-you-4113968 (just scroll down to the chart) nor are any one's pay getting "cut in half". Trump placed more money into the population's hands (tax cuts), It is their choice as to what they can spend the extra money on. Tumeric fails to understand the threat posed by China. China seeks to dominate all prosperous future sectors, Just look at China 2025, Which Trump is most likely going to ask to be thrown out once the tariff's 90 days are over.

I'll start by saying that I am a white man from Alabama, And I think Trump may be the greatest threat this county faces at the moment, Though he isn't undercutting the USA without a lot of help. So in order to avoid ranting about those things, I'll try to stay on track by rebutting your statements one at a time. As far as new economic policies, Maybe you can clarify what you're referring to. Trump's domestic economics are standard Republican menu items. Tax cuts during economic upswings are counterproductive, Since the govt should be reducing debt during good times and spending during bad times. This is the opposite. I'm actually not totally against tariffs in concept, But I think Trumps recklessness may really hurt us. What's good about Trump is he's the first guy to push back against the gospel of "economic growth" that both major parties have bought into. However going against China at the same time as weakening our alliances with other countries couldn't be more stupid. "[Trump's social policies] don't really matter don't really matter if the employment rate goes down or if America finds itself in a state of stagnation or depression. " I'm quoting you so you can read this again and see how wrong you are. Times of economic hardship are exactly when racism gets bad. Jews were in Germany a long time, But it was during the Great Depression that Nazism took over. In the US, Rates of illegal immigration are lower than they were during the 90s and 00s, Yet people are much more angry about it after the recession. Racial scapegoating is the first thing that will happen if economic collapse occurs. ". . . Ripples of life. . . " The purpose of taxation is to do this. But Trump cut taxes, Remember? So when the rich get richer, It sends ripples of life to their private schools and to the health services that they buy for themselves. They don't need social services, So Trump is cutting those. The idea behind all republican policy is to exempt the rich from the responsibility of taking care of anyone else. Under those conditions, Greed does not help overall. Neither does "economic growth. " If your pay is cut in half, And mine doubles, Then "economic growth" has occurred between the two of us. That's what they mean when they say it. That's where America is headed, And Trump is helping it along.

Just to start this off I'd like to clarify that I identify as 100% Hispanic. I feel no hatred nor any discriminatory sentiments towards my race nor any other. So let us get started. I believe, Through new economic policies and strategic trade changes Donald Trump is currently saving America. Well, Maybe not saving it, But solidifying America's spot as the number one economy and just overall country (culturally, Progressivity, And etc). While Trump's social policies may spell NO for many of those who strive for equality in our day to day lives, They don't really matter if the employment rate goes down or if America finds itself in a state of stagnation or depression. Also, Objectively, Money is the maker of all things, Whether we like it or not. Thus, By stimulating the economy it sends ripples of life all throughout the aspects of America (social policy, Education, Health services, And etc) We may believe corporate greed is tearing us apart, But we must ask ourselves where would we be without it?
Clash of Clans is an awesome game

Well Firstly you cannot fight your friends in clash of clans. This game has great graphics better than other games. In clash of clans you can chat with your friends easily, easier than email. Its a really fun game and it is NOT a waste of time if you play it for 1 or half an hour. I play it for one hour to attack in clan wars and chat with my friends. Some of my friends don't know how to use email so they chat with me in clash of clans as we are in the same clan. Well playing it for a long time is not good. I have studies so i don't waste all of my time playing clash of clans. Also, it has a rating of 4.5 which makes it a better than most games. So I think clash of clans is an awesome game.
Clash of Clans is an awesome game

Great graphics?? Oh, please!! I have watched my friend play it, and she is just wasting her time. Also, have you ever heard of pen pals? Like, sending people either emails or regular mail instead of fighting them with a pink-haired girl who only wants to shoot arrows at people. Who says you would only play it for a set amount of time. You said yourself that it was an addicting game, so I am guessing that you would play it for hours and hours, just to fix this thing, send your 'warriors' to this place, recruit these people, etc., etc.
God's existence

My apologies. Though I would once again point out that God's existence can neither be proven nor disproven to an absolute certainty, so your request for "proof that God doesn't exist" could never be fulfilled. Furthermore, the arguments you presented (if true) serve as evidence, not proof, of God's existence. Even so, your work will still be in front of you to make the jump from "it is more likely that God exists than that He does not exist" to "Hinduism is true". The latter most certainly does not follow from the former. As this is only a two-round debate, there isn't much room for discussion, but I'd be happy to debate you on Hinduism at a future time. Thanks!
Women have it easier overall in the U.S.

Standard debate format for response: Greeting and/or Opening Rebuttal Rebuttal Closing General conceptions are fine but please cite any statistical data. You are welcome to bring up income inequality but please state explain how this hinders one from having a full and satisfactory lifestyle.

Ooh, let me get it back, let me get it back, Let me get it back, baby, where I come from. It's been a long time, been a long time, Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time. Yes it has.

Round 2: Classic Rock I chose Ramble On by Led Zeppelin (again, I know) Leaves are falling all around, It's time I was on my way. Thanks to you, I'm much obliged for such a pleasant stay. But now it's time for me to go. The autumn moon lights my way. For now I smell the rain, and with it pain, and it's headed my way. Sometimes I grow so tired, but I know I've got one thing I got to do... [Chorus] Ramble On, And now's the time, the time is now, to sing my song. I'm goin' 'round the world, I got to find my girl, on my way. I've been this way ten years to the day, Ramble On, Gotta find the queen of all my dreams.

[Chorus] Mine's a tale that can't be told, my freedom I hold dear. How years ago in days of old, when magic filled the air. T'was in the darkest depths of Mordor, I met a girl so fair. But Gollum, and the evil one crept up and slipped away with her, her, her....yeah. [Chorus] Gonna ramble on, sing my song. Gotta keep-a-searchin' for my baby... Gonna work my way, round the world.

It was the best time of my life, but now I sleep alone (sleep alone), So don't, don't, don't wake me up, 'cause my thrill is gone. (Say I'm wrong) and the sunset turning red behind the smoke, forever and alone. Yeah! You've gone and sewn me to this bed, the taste of you and me will never leave my lips again under the blinding rain. I wanna hold your hand so tight I'm gonna break my wrist, and when the vultures sing tonight I'm gonna join right in. I'll sing along, oh 'Cause I don't know any other song. I'll sing along, but I'm barely hanging on. No, I'm barely hanging on. By the time you're hearing this I'll already be gone, and now there's nothing to do but scream at the drunken moon. This isn't fair! (No!) Don't you try to blame this on me. My love for you was bulletproof but you're the one who shot me. And god damn it, I can barely say your name, so I'll try to write it and fill the pen with blood from the sink. Whoa oh But don't just say it, you should sing my name. Pretend that it's a song 'cause forever it's yours, and we can sing this on the way home. I'll sing along, oh 'Cause I don't know any other song. I'll sing along, but I'm barely hanging on.
