James94, How many times are you going to tell us your opinion or point of view? In your last rebuttal you told us your "opinion or point of view" 12 times, but who's counting? Nobody needs to hear your opinion, debates need to be based on facts. "She is an educated ,liberated sophisticated woman who would not be vocal about things that she knows. On to my next thought." -James94 James94, this statement makes you seem like a misogynist. Are you? Are you trying to say that women that are sophisticated and that have an education, are not able to be vocal about things? Sir, come on, Hillary has been vocal about things her whole life. If she could not speak her mind, she would not be the number one democrat running right now. Like I said, I feel that giving illegal immigrants driver's licenses would help with the whole public safety issue, but Hillary does not. She in fact does not want to give illegal immigrants driver's licenses. How do I know this, last night I went to the Democrat debates at the University of Nevada Las Vegas (UNLV) (5 miles away from my house)! She does not want to give them status, making them feel welcome to the United States. Also because I went to these debates, I know she can speak her mind. "I feel that Mrs.Clinton would run this country into the ground because of her views.We are not ready for that." -James94 You feel Mrs. Clinton would run this country into the ground. News flash: economy in toilet, dollar lowest in 30 years, foreclosures at an all time high, world hates us, in debt to everyone, and etc. James, you think this country can go any lower, we are 6 feet under, ground level would be an improvement. Well, James opinions are like sphincters, everybody has them. Your debates are based on your opinion, this makes debating futile for you. James, the President of United States does not control the gas prices. Gas is like everything else in this country, imported mostly, other countries can put a price tag of what ever they want on it. Supply and demand. Supply and demand. Supply and demand. Sure, we don't have to purchase it from them, but it is a necessity, and the United States does not produce enough oil to run everyone's car. If you want to complain about gas prices, move to Europe where the average price of gas is around 6 dollars a gallon. Hillary is qualified. You don't like her qualities. So when you post again rethink your wording please. PS Thank you for finally spelling Hillary right!

Masterdebator, I still feel that Mrs.Clinton is not qualified , not because she was born on American soil but because she said one thing and did another. Hillary Clinton does not have the experience enough to run this country,although she might come off that she does. As to disagreeing about some of her other views and issues ,Yes I do due to the fact that I have my own opinoins. On to my next thought or opinion. She is an educated ,liberated sophisticated woman who would not be vocal about things that she knows. On to my next thought. Hillary Clinton voted for the Iraq war but claimed to be against it , that would show that she is a hypocrite.On to my next thought or point of view. She also wants to give drivers licenses to those immigrants that are not documented ,however if elected she would raise taxes on the middle class ,so that the middle class supports this country.On to my next point or opinion. I feel that Mrs.Clinton would run this country into the ground because of her views.We are not ready for that. On to my next thought Mrs.Clinton if elected president she would not regulate the gas prices in this country. She is not experienced enough to make this country great.On to my next point . That is why I feel she is not qualified to be the president of the United States of America.She does not answer the tough questions asked of her.If she is elected would she answer them then? She does not make tough decisions . If elected would she make clear decisions ? I think not on either.

Hillary Clinton is qualified to be President of the United States. She is over 35 years of age, and she was born in the United States. Therefore, she is qualified. What I think you mean is that you don't like her views on some issues. As far as the Iraq war goes, a lot of people on the debate stands right now voted for the war. This is because we thought this war was worthy because, Bush was talking about weapons of mass destruction. Well it turns out that Bush miss informed us, and there is no weapons of mass destruction. It is okay to change your mind James. It does not mean that someone has double standards though. Another reason she supported this war at first is because Bush sugar coated this war, in saying that, "we will be treated as liberators," and, "it will be a slam dunk." "Slam dunk" meaning it will be easy right? No, we are still not done with this war, our economy is sinking because we are in so much debt, and were we treated as liberators, no. Call them what you want, but Iraq citizens are killing our men every day. As far as the illegal immigrants go, if you think we can send back millions of people to Mexico, we can't. They also help us out everyday, by cooking your food, up keeping your lawn, building your housing, and much much more! Why would it be a bad idea giving illegal immigrants driver's licenses when they drive cars here everyday anyways. Giving driver's licenses would help because it would require them to use insurance. Lastly about the taxes. Hillary wants to increase taxes to balance the budget, because Bush has gotten us into so much debt with this war. Hey, if you want our economy to boom again then we need to raise taxes in order to pay off our debts. This is the only way our currency will rise above the rest again. So in conclusion we have to raise our taxes, if we don't then eventually the peso will equal or even be worth more than our dollar.

I find that Hillary Clinton would not be qualified to be president for the following resaons. The first reason is that she is hypocritical due to the fact that she voted for the Iraq war but she claims to be against it .This backs up my claim that she has double standards. She is willing to give drivers licenses to illegal immigrants, which brings me to my next point of view. Mrs.Clinton wants to raise taxes so that we can balance the budget ,but I strongly disagree with this course of action.Mrs .Clinton has voted for tax cuts in congress as senator. which brings me to the point of double standards.
hillery clinton

In conclusion, Hillary Clinton will make a great president. She is strong, smart, and unlike my opponents thoughts, she can speak really well. If you are looking for a president that we can approve of, she is the one. Her approval ratings during her senator years are amazing. Lastly, again about the health care system, if you look at the big picture of a universal health care system you will find it to be quite beneficial! Please remember when voting to pick the opponent who debated the best, and not the one who has the same opinion as you. Thank you James for spending the time to debate me. I am sure we both learned something from this experience, I know I did. Thank you for giving me some experience with debating. Happy Thanksgiving To All! -Masterdebator
hillery clinton

In conclusion to this debate, I still think that Hillary Clinton would not be the right person for the job of president due to the fact that that she is not as experienced as some of the other candidates.She has stated that she does not stand for universal health care but for affordable health care. On to my thought . Affordable to whom ?The Rich who can afford to pay higher prices to get that coverage? It is the rich who get what you call Affordable in comparison to Universal . Simply stated we as Americans should all have the privelege of decent health care.next please. Her qualities have nothing to do with her being president of the United States . She wants to raise taxes so that the American people can pay more to the government. Technically the American people have no voice in the decisions that the government makes. To sum this all up we as Americans should be informed as to decisions that our government makes so that we are included in that process . Hillary Clinton has proven to be two ways in her decision making. For this reason I believe that she would be a weak president, and therefore not qualified.

You keep on saying she, "is double standard," - James I have already addressed you on this, but you have done nothing to refute it. Facts, not feelings. "Voting for her is like voting for bill clinton." -James If voting for her is like voting for Bill Clinton, then we should be in good shape in a few years. "Just because she was a senator does or first lady does not qualify her to be president." -James James, being a senator or being first lady does not qualify her to be president, but being 35 and over, and she was born in this country does. Her qualities will make her an excellent president. Just look at her approval rating while being senator. http://www.surveyusa.com... It is great! "AS far as universal health care she supports we don't need it, we need affordable health care for our people." -James We have affordable health care, some people with actual careers get it free. County hospitals such as University Medical Center of Las Vegas, NV, are losing money. All because of the many people who don't think about getting health care coverage. Do you think if car insurance wasn't required, all people would have it? No. If car insurance wasn't required, then people that were victims of an accident, would not get their car paid for. The hospitals are the victims, and do you know what? If everyone had health insurance then we would have even more affordable health care because, the insurance companies wouldn't have to jack up the prices because of the many who do not pay their hospital bills. "It is a fact that if the democrats nominate hillary that they will lose the election." -James Wow, where did you get your crystal ball? I wish I had one too! "The republicans would love to debate her because she is stupid and naive." -James James, your statement about if Hillary gets nominated she will lose is, "stupid and naï¿½ve." By the way, I would love to see her debate anyone of those Republicans, because she will crush them. "To sum all this up Hillary could not do a good job as a senator how is she going to run this country?" -James Once again James, check her approval rating. http://www.surveyusa.com...
hillery clinton

First of all the debate in nevada was bullshit. This country does not need Hillary clinton who is double standard. What she says and do is to diffrent things. Voting for her is like voting for bill clinton. Just because she was a senator does or first lady does not qualify her to be president.Don't believe what she says only what she does. She has voted on the side of the republicans and she really does support bush but she can't say because she is a democrat.She does not have the answers and has admitted that Ross Perot was right about the budget.WHen Hillary gives driver licenses to the illegals and people like you support her it will be your fault that America won't be here anymore will be communist because Hillary cannot and will not be able to run this country. AS far as universal health care she supports we don't need it, we need affordable health care for our people.PLUs raising taxes on the miidle class is not going to solve our problem.AS you might of found out in the debate in Nevada that our congress in session now has only 11 percent approval which is the worst in this country. 70 percent of Americans is against of giving driver license to the illegals. It is a fact that if the democrats nominate hillary that they will lose the election.The republicans would love to debate her because she is stupid and naive.To sum all this up Hillary could not do a good job as a senator how is she going to run this country? shes not.And the answer to your question about opinion its you who thinks like this.
resolved: that the united states fed government should increase alternative energies in the U.S.

Ok we will . I think the U.S goverment should not promote nor increase alterative engeries as the goverment is in a finiacil disaster and requires consumers to use energy and petrol and so on so they can tax them , there is no subsistancil profits in using alternative energys and in a time of recssion , the goverment cannot afford to have tens of thousands of oil workers , miners and so on jobless its not ecionically sound. i await my oppnents response .
The secret that leads to happiness, is to try to became a better person.

Thank you very much i appreciate it a lot :) I actually believe that someone can became a better person through love ( and also that he cannot became better, without understanding love), because love is the best and the most positive emotion a person can have. So i am happy that you agree with me and we can understand each others point of view and therefore i must point out that i also like your though processing. <3
The secret that leads to happiness, is to try to became a better person.

What a sweetheart you are. I love what you wrote. All of it! I could care less if I lose this debate or not get any points, because it is worth it to agree that the path "we choose" for our own truth, is in fact, the only truth. Yours you call "becoming better", mine I call "being loving". What wonderful thoughts you have! We are both talking the same thing, really, and that thing is called "evolution". An evolution of consciousness. A revolution some might say, and much needed in the world today. We know down deep somewhere, that the only way to feel true happiness and peace, is by raising our vibrations with kinder thoughts (ourselve and others!), more loving actions, and forgiveness. Hence, being more conscious in the way we live. We are all energy, and one small action does make a difference. By being introspective, as you have said, "the journey" of moving through our lessons and getting clarity is the ROAD to peace. Namaste my friend!
The secret that leads to happiness, is to try to became a better person.

“It’s surprising how many persons go through life without ever recognizing that their feelings toward other people are largely determined by their feelings toward themselves, and if you’re not comfortable within yourself, you can’t be comfortable with others.”– Sidney J. Harris I provide this quote to illustrate that if you are judgemental of yourself (without self love), then you will also be judgemental of others. The statement "trying to become a better person" (although very admirable!) is a process. Happiness is a state of being. Our state of being becomes our thoughts which then reflects our choices, decisions, reactions, and ultimately feelings. If we are in a mode of struggling to become a better person, then our life will be filled with struggle and we will draw in all that are in similar modes of struggle. Peace is contentment in who we are today. Peace is true happiness. It doesn’t grow. It just is. Without it, judgement of yourself, and others begins to take over one's daily life. Every person, every event, everything we encounter, we form a judgement. Hence the positive and negative feelings that wash over us everyday, all day. I agree that we must we learn lessons to evolve and expand our clarity? They are for us to experience, to feel the range of emotions….. and to use our connectedness to others to heal what hurts from our perception of how things should be. Those that you gravitate to are there to help you along! Comparing yourself to those you don't know, is like comparing your "uncut version" to someone else's "highlight reel". It never works. On a good day, life is great and you are happy. On a day when you've taken two steps backwards, a struggle. The ever elusive state of happiness. "Better" implies that we are not good enough right now. If we feel that way, then what happens the next day when we fall back and make mistakes? And what it we need a few times around to learn a lesson that we can't quite get the first time? If happiness is becoming "better", the bad days could really set us back a bit. Tying happiness to being "better" is a revolving cycle to try to get to the next level, closer and closer to what we think is "perfection". The defintion of perfection here on earth is a life without mistakes; which we all know is impossible as human beings. Becoming a "better" person is growth, from that growth, I agree, there is joy that we feel from having achieved and evolved a little more. And yes, a responsibility of every conscious adult. But permanent happiness is a place of conscious being, where we accept that we are already everything that we are suppose to be right now, and that is simply..... well perfect.
The secret that leads to happiness, is to try to became a better person.

The secret to happiness is understanding that you are already a perfect person, and exactly where you are suppose to be. Happiness is having the ability to love yourself right now.... not what you were, or what you want to be. Time is an illusion as we measure our worth by past, present, and future events, reactions, and emotions. We use our conditioning, both societal and our personal experiences, to compare, compare, compare! We measure against norms, that exist only in your own mind. Is rich better? Not to a minimalist. Are more friends important? Not to a person who covets quiet time. Is an important career important? Not to a mother of four children. We are already the best versions of ourselves. God, The Universe, Our Creator, whatever you choose to call a higher power, made us perfect, and we are perfect at all times. It is our perception of ourselves that leads to doubt, worry, fear, frustration, and feelings of unworthiness. Happiness comes from clarity and developing a clear understanding of yourself, your thoughts, your intentions, and connectedness to your soul. While there are lessons along the way, our happiness shouldn't grow or shrink based on our ability to overcome the hurdles in life.

"he United States is the only nation capable of unilaterally conducting large-scale, effective military operations far beyond its borders. There is and will continue to be a great demand for U.S. forces, not only to protect the United States from direct threats and to help maintain peace and stability in regions critical to U.S. interests, but also to help support multinational efforts to bring peace to regions torn by ethnic, tribal, or religious conflicts and to ameliorate human suffering." http://www.dod.mil...... To round the debate, I will like to start by stating voters. 1. I won because I provided evidence to support my case which was one of my opponents rules. 2. My opponent did not follow this rule so he automatically looses. 3. I simply stated my position thus completing my opponents second rule. 4. My opponent forfeited. Thank you and I hope to debate you in future debates.
Gay Marriage

I shall argue against gay marriage: 1) Gay Marriage is not marriage Simply calling a marriage a marriage does not mean it is a marriage. Marriage always has been a covenant between man and woman. It is by nature that a marriage is to unify a man and a woman, not a woman and a woman or a man and a man. 2) Gay Marriage goes against nature. Marriage serves two purposes: to unify and to procreate. A man and a man cannot create another human. Only a man and a woman can do that. Let me give you an analogy: say I have a chair. A chair, defined in a dictionary, is something used to sit on. That is the chair's nature. Not to stand on or throw. Standing on the chair or throwing the chair defeats the chair's purpose. You see, if you do anything else other than sit on the chair, you have a risk of breaking the chair or harming yourself. In a way, this chair is marriage. A marriage by nature is man and woman. Anything other than that defeats its purpose and risks to damage the beauty of marriage. 3) Gay Marriage, even if right in society's eyes, are wrong morally. From a religious standpoint, it is morally wrong and against God's will to support gay marriage. This is not saying that being gay is wrong, in fact, it might a good thing. However, the gay ACTS are not. Thank you for your time. This is all I will support for now.

Abortion should be illegal!!

There's many woman who would love to have child and maybe she cant. Maybe she cant cause she had ovarian cancer and her dreams had fallen apart. Now she's counting on a person to have a chilD for her or maybe yet.. SHE CAN GO TO FOSTER CARE..oops caps. And well people who dont choose to have a child is okay...they can have it and when there done having that c-section or labor, she can put it in a foster care..simple as that..why go through a much more painful stage of abortion when they have to live with the guilt with the rest of their life's. When they really can feel good about making a family happy when she can donate her son or daughter to a family that can't have kids. Killing an unborn child is cruel and should be stopped. Woman should think twice before having sex without a condom..And if they choose not to have sex with a condom on..The should suffer the consequences. Dont take it out on the baby and kill it. Thats just wrong.
Abortion should be illegal!!

OK, I accept you challenge. Here why I say it should be. Abortion should be leagle because it's a choice, and in this great country of America, we do have the choice to do as we feel, as long as it doesn't come into interruptance with anyone elses freedom. You believe in pro-life, possibly because you think its considered murder. Well if a baby is still in it's 1st tri-mester, then it would be no larger than a plumb (mmmm plumbs). Being this so small it hasn't devoloped its pain nerves to feel it being put to death. If a women cannot take care of a child, why force that baby into being here on this planet, miserable? A women has a choice to say whether she may have her underdeveloped child or not. Wouldn't you want the choice?
Abortion should be illegal!!

True, Kids are the future, but the fact that the earth is over populated can be the down fall of our species. More kids means more mouths to feed, more pollution more crime,. etc etc. Maybe the child will be something great, or maube he'll be the next Dahmer or rapist, ya never know, but dealing with the worst of out comes, comes from scared future parents. If they simply can't handle a kid because of finances, or dealing with the care for a child, or the thought of the rapped victims father with gain custody, just is too much. This is why i say women should have a choice on how they want to deal with thier body. If you wanted to piece your belly or tongue, wouldn't you say that it's your choice. Or what if God placed a baby in some young womens body and has no idea why it's there, and can't afford a child at the point of her life where she's near success, shouldn't she be able to afford it? LOL... LMAO
