Debate: Does Andrew Jackson deserve to be on the $20 bill?
Side: Yes

If you had the choice to fight for the people you govern or just let them suffer for the good of other people what would you do? He did what he needed to give the Americans what they needed. He gave them land they needed to grow food that they could've died without. I don't see that as being a bad President. He was making sure he took care of his country first.
Debate: Does Andrew Jackson deserve to be on the $20 bill?
Side: Yes

That is very true. To grow the amount of food that our expanding country needed, we needed more land.
Debate: Does Andrew Jackson deserve to be on the $20 bill?
Side: No

But was it okay that he practically forced the Indians to give up their lands? Was it right to take them away from their home?
Debate: Does Andrew Jackson deserve to be on the $20 bill?
Side: Yes

He gave americans more land by removing the natives americans
Debate: Does Andrew Jackson deserve to be on the $20 bill?
Side: No

It is true that he gave americans more land, but the way he did it was very cruel and cold-hearted.
Debate: Does Andrew Jackson deserve to be on the $20 bill?
Side: Yes

He didn't know the outcome of his actions. He had the right idea it was just poorly executed.
Debate: Does Andrew Jackson deserve to be on the $20 bill?
Side: Yes

In whose eyes? He did what he thought was necessary and it wasn't his fault the Indians died. They could have prepared or brought things with them that could have acclimated them to the cold weather. He didn't know they would die. He was trying to get more land to feed the rapidly growing American population
Debate: Does Andrew Jackson deserve to be on the $20 bill?
Side: Yes

There was no other way that Jackson could have done it. At least the Americans gained more land for crops.
Debate: Does Andrew Jackson deserve to be on the $20 bill?
Side: No

There were other ways. He could have moved the Natives in a good way rather than being cruel.
Debate: Does Andrew Jackson deserve to be on the $20 bill?
Side: Yes

His actions are barely cruel. He was moving the Native Americans to a secure location. And there was no other way to get them there.
Debate: Does Andrew Jackson deserve to be on the $20 bill?
Side: Yes

That was the only was to do it because if he didn't do what he done the native would probably wanted to fight
Debate: Does Andrew Jackson deserve to be on the $20 bill?
Side: Yes

When he removed the Native he did not kick them out of america he just relocated them so that Americans could put their land to good use.
Debate: Does Andrew Jackson deserve to be on the $20 bill?
Side: Yes

Look at all the good things that he did during his presidency though. He helped the American people and was a in the government for them.
Debate: Does Andrew Jackson deserve to be on the $20 bill?
Side: No

He did not help the people, he gave them what they wanted. He spoiled them pretty much. Nothing he did helped the people in the long run, except for fight in a war before he became president.
Debate: Does Andrew Jackson deserve to be on the $20 bill?
Side: Yes

everyone was cruel to the native Americans! they all owned slaves and treated them terribly. that was socially accepted back then
Debate: Does Andrew Jackson deserve to be on the $20 bill?
Side: No

Just because something is socially accepted does not make it okay to do. To many people I know (not applying to me), making fun of gay people is socially accepted, but does it make it right to do? Was it socially accepted to forcefully remove Natives from their home? Yes. But was it morally right? Just because they have a different skin color does not mean that their blood, bones, heart, lungs, and anything else is different. They are still human beings with beating hearts and life inside them.
Debate: Does Andrew Jackson deserve to be on the $20 bill?
Side: Yes

All of these things that you see as horrible and things that no man should ever do for any reason what so ever, but without him doing that and claiming the US as ours than it was just going to happen later.
Debate: Does Andrew Jackson deserve to be on the $20 bill?
Side: Yes

One action that he thought was right shouldn't justify his right to be on the $20 bill.
Debate: Does a person's intelligence dictate their choice of religion?
Side: Yes

Yes, better educated people/smarter are less religious.With greater understanding of the world that surrounds you, less you tend to religions, myths, magic and rituals.
Debate: Does a person's intelligence dictate their choice of religion?
Side: Yes

A better education is not necessarily a mark of higher intelligence. Also, the question concerned choice of religion, not whether or not to have one, which is more likely determined by culture and surroundings.
Debate: Does a person's intelligence dictate their choice of religion?
Side: No

If you compare numbers, for example percentage of theists between Physicist and Farmers, you will see that there is a huge difference.
Debate: Does a person's intelligence dictate their choice of religion?
Side: No

I wouldn't know where to find those numbers. A physicist is likely to be more intelligent than a farmer, but a farmer could easily be more intelligent than a professor of Family and Marriage Sciences, even though both Doctors are highly educated.Even so, the topic seems to ask if intelligence determines religion. It's more likely that culture determines religion. Furthermore, academia may be a culture more conducive to atheism, but this is not necessarily because of higher intelligence.
Debate: Does a person's intelligence dictate their choice of religion?
Side: Yes

Pretty much yeah :D
Debate: Does a person's intelligence dictate their choice of religion?
Side: Yes

Thank you ...but actual argument would be better :)
Debate: Does a person's intelligence dictate their choice of religion?
Side: No

that's the most ignorant thing I have ever read in my life, sirHow can you propose to have a better understanding of the world around us than people who are in tune with the metaphysical? If you were in tune with the metaphysical you would be religious/spiritual. And I don't mean religious as sitting in a church
Debate: Does a person's intelligence dictate their choice of religion?
Side: Yes

your reply is completely off the context .
Debate: Does a person's intelligence dictate their choice of religion?
Side: No

how? intelligence has nothing to do with being brainwashed, that's being raised to believe these things, if any person you deem as unintelligible was handed every single religious text, and they were to study them, and then compare the stories with what we see in the real world, their intelligence would bolster ten fold.
Debate: Does a person's intelligence dictate their choice of religion?
Side: Yes

If I know anything about creatards that it is that they do not compare their fairy tale with with reality but cutting out stuff from context, ignoring everything around, refusing accept things like biology or astrophysics, oppressing their children with same garbage... How is that intelligent? How do you compare talking snake with reality?
Debate: Does a person's intelligence dictate their choice of religion?
Side: No

the talking snake was the embodiment of what is supposed to be evil, cunning.You may call me crazy, but I like to account for what our ancestors said about "talking snakes" Add in talking snakes with UFOs and what do you get? A reptilian race that can shapeshift, now you're probably just thinking wow this guy is off his rocker, but almost every single culture, divided by thousands of miles, describe sorts of shapeshifting aliens. Like reptiles. How does that happen? Chance? no, it has to be a global consciousness. Did every single race of humans in the past magically all dream about shapeshifting aliens that came and visited us? No, that's actually really stupid to believe You can compare the talking snake as something that wanted us to know about the universe, to be like "the gods" which is depicted as the devil, but I think the opposite, I think it was good. You may call me crazy but I stand very firm in my beliefs and I tie in what we believed in the past to quantum mechanics today. Other dimensions, other universes, non physical realmsWe know nothing about the universe. and science teaching us to not believe in god, is actually extremely detrimental because without the belief of the supernatural how are we going to learn to logically think about the other realms if we try to put our physical "only touchy feely" logic upon them? we will go insane if we try to explain it like that, that's why religious texts make no sense whatsoever, beause the universe doesn't make sense, and we try to make sense out of itWe have done a great job at explaining the universe, but with our recent discoveries we are having a very hard time trying to explain the universe in a scientific way. String theory can only explain how it works physically. The universe is NOT solely physical, and we need to understand this
Debate: Does a person's intelligence dictate their choice of religion?
Side: No

This clearly shows why we should not let stereo-typical misconceptions about the supernatural shields us from all that are possible. In many cultures, the snake is considered a symbol of wisdom and knowledge.
Debate: Does a person's intelligence dictate their choice of religion?
Side: Yes

LSD ? :D
Debate: Does a person's intelligence dictate their choice of religion?
Side: No

Lol, no, I have never done psychedelics, I was never even religious I just tried to figure out what the oldest religion on earth was one day and I came across shamanism and that's when my mind went for a tripWhen we dream we are using dimethyltriptamine to produce our dreams, and DMT is the most powerful hallucinogen known to mankind, so if you can "learn" things from lsd and shrooms, why not our dreams? Our dreams are the ultimate entheogen
Debate: Does a person's intelligence dictate their choice of religion?
Side: Yes

the talking snake was the embodiment of what is supposed to be evil, cunning. that is your opinion based just and olny on your imagination, or did you know the author?Add in talking snakes with UFOs and what do you get? A reptilian race that can shapeshift, now you're probably just thinking wow this guy is off his rocker, but almost every single culture, divided by thousands of miles, describe sorts of shapeshifting aliens. Like reptiles.this definitely requires LSD to answer :D
Debate: Does a person's intelligence dictate their choice of religion?
Side: No

Its not my opinion or my imagination, its an actual theory, buddyhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godasthe_DevilAnd no it doesnt require lsd it requires an open mind
Debate: Does a person's intelligence dictate their choice of religion?
Side: Yes

it's not a theory :D ...maybe a hypothesis or theorem ... :D and yes it's all crazy :D
Debate: Does a person's intelligence dictate their choice of religion?
Side: No

A lot of clever people are/were religious. Einstein was, Newton was, Kant was. I could name so many important intellectual figures who were deeply religious, and because I can do this, I think your idea is refuted. Intelligence isn't reversely proportional to religiosity.
Debate: Does a person's intelligence dictate their choice of religion?
Side: Yes

Einstein wasn't religious, he was polite to religious people. Newton was a horrible cunt, he used religion as a tool, he was a chairman of Anti-catholic society. If you read his "Principia mathematica" which is his life work, there is no word about god, I wouldn't believe him his religiosity. Kant was a very complicated person in his early works it seems to me that he was religious but very critical to the standardized view of god. From his later work ...he looks even less religious.Often many smart people tend to present them self in public as Agnostics instead of what they really are (atheists) simply because they aren't interested in debate with religious freaks.
Debate: Does a person's intelligence dictate their choice of religion?
Side: No

"Einstein wasn't religious, he was polite to religious people."He was an agnostic, which may not be religious but certainly isn't atheist."Newton was a horrible cunt, he used religion as a tool, he was a chairman of Anti-catholic society."Just because he was Anti-Catholic, doesn't mean he was anti-religious. The Catholic Church have committed many atrocities in the past."If you read his "Principia mathematica" which is his life work, there is no word about god, I wouldn't believe him his religiosity."Why would anyone refer to God in a book about mathematical principles? Newton was deeply religious and spent the majority of his time studying scripture, he only studied science as a hobby."Often many smart people tend to present them self in public as Agnostics instead of what they really are (atheists) simply because they aren't interested in debate with religious freaks."A rather hasty (and ridiculous) generalisation, care to back it up with any evidence?
Debate: Does a person's intelligence dictate their choice of religion?
Side: Yes

He was an agnostic, which may not be religious but certainly isn't atheist. Agnostics are pretty much atheists.Why would anyone refer to God in a book about mathematical principles? Newton was deeply religious and spent the majority of his time studying scripture, he only studied science as a hobby..No, moron he did not do maths as a hobby. He was Lucasian Professor of Mathematics since his 27.
Debate: Does a person's intelligence dictate their choice of religion?
Side: No

" Agnostics are pretty much atheists."Care to make an actual argument, instead of just an opinion?"No, moron he did not do maths as a hobby. He was Lucasian Professor of Mathematics since his 27."Just because you do something as a hobby, doesn't mean you can't be good at it. Anyway, my argument still disputes your claim that Newton was barely religious.
Debate: Does a person's intelligence dictate their choice of religion?
Side: Yes

You've said that he did maths just as a hobby... that means you know nothing about him.
Debate: Does a person's intelligence dictate their choice of religion?
Side: Yes

This is a great point. But the case is different for those who were taught religious values before an adult-like intellect formed.
Debate: Does a person's intelligence dictate their choice of religion?
Side: No

If children are properly brainwashed and became so called "creatards". They will most likely not persuade to higher education simply because they think that "they know enough", everything they need to know is in the holly book and all problems can be solved by praying.They will lose their curiosity and without that you will not go to the research...
Debate: Does a person's intelligence dictate their choice of religion?
Side: Yes

Looks like someone has never heard that monks and priests were the ones responsible in progressing science during the middle ages
Debate: Does a person's intelligence dictate their choice of religion?
Side: No

As usual you skip the second half of the argument, the little thing that just an only priests/monks,etc. were allowed to education, literally nobody else could even read. It was one of the main methods used for control masses. Keep them totally dumb and in permanent fear of hell.The only people apart of priests who were literate, were fro royal families and they were tough by priests who didn't have to be religious ..they just wanted some education. Some trades men could right down numbers but no actual maths.
Debate: Does a person's intelligence dictate their choice of religion?
Side: Yes

Are you saying that Priests and Monks kept their knowledge to themselves and kept the people dumb?Too bad, history says otherwisePriests were the first teachers and they never saw the benefit in a blind follower.
Debate: Does a person's intelligence dictate their choice of religion?
Side: No

Jesuits taught in Latin stuff from bible, not actual stuff .
Debate: Does a person's intelligence dictate their choice of religion?
Side: Yes

"The Society of Jesus (Latin: Societas Iesu, S.J., SJ or SI) is a Christian male religious order of the Roman Catholic Church. The members are called Jesuits. The society is engaged in evangelization and apostolic ministry in 112 nations on six continents. Jesuits work in education (founding schools, colleges, universities and seminaries), intellectual research, and cultural pursuits. Jesuits also give retreats, minister in hospitals and parishes and promote social justice and ecumenical dialogue."-Wikipedia (very first paragraph)What are you trying to say again? :D
Debate: Does a person's intelligence dictate their choice of religion?
Side: No

In medieval Jesuits taught only Latin in some places French. What we call education, maths, science in general non biblical stuff, that was taught first about 1800... in that time there were actually school available everywhere. My high school was founded by Jesuits.There were no actual schools in medieval.
Debate: Does a person's intelligence dictate their choice of religion?
Side: Yes

1540's Ignatius was chosen as the first superior-general. He sent his companions as missionaries around Europe to create schools, colleges, and seminaries-WikipediaPlease amuse me with your denials :D
Debate: Does a person's intelligence dictate their choice of religion?
Side: No

As I said before, they taught Latin, Wikipedia isn't enough .
Debate: Does a person's intelligence dictate their choice of religion?
Side: Yes

They taught Latin to allow the common people to read. If Wikipedia isnt enough, then I suppose that you got a better source of information. Would you mind sharing it?
Debate: Does a person's intelligence dictate their choice of religion?
Side: No

They taught Latin to allow the common people to read READ WHAT AND WHERE ????
Debate: Does a person's intelligence dictate their choice of religion?
Side: Yes

Lets see...theres medicinal books, announcements of the king, civil rights and of course, the bible. Medieval era was already using a good trade of information and they are already starting a bank for the economy.The ability to read is highly valued if you wish to join the trade. And the Jesuits offered it
Debate: Does a person's intelligence dictate their choice of religion?
Side: No

omg, try to start accounting company in Latin .
Debate: Does a person's intelligence dictate their choice of religion?
Side: Yes

Heres a better trick:Try to make business without learning how to read or write.
Debate: Does a person's intelligence dictate their choice of religion?
Side: No

Yes, start business in language that only you understand .
Debate: Does a person's intelligence dictate their choice of religion?
Side: Yes

Are you not yet ready to admit that the Jesuit foundation was the one responsible in educating the common folk during the medieval times?
Debate: Does a person's intelligence dictate their choice of religion?
Side: No

Jesuits taught Latin. DO you even know why was Latin taught as a main subject? They did not educated "common folks" that you've again misunderstood the Wikipedia. They read bible to common people. Jesuits had effect on education of general public, they had like one school per state with about 10 students. "Their main goal was to spread the true teaching of bible"Please read more than just few lines.
Debate: Does a person's intelligence dictate their choice of religion?
Side: Yes

I see no problem in it. While it was not their true goal, the Jesuists still existed to educated the commoners. And I thankyou for admitting it
Debate: Does a person's intelligence dictate their choice of religion?
Side: No

You original point was that Priest done most of the scientific advance in medieval. Now you should realize that it was because they were the only ones who educated... Simply knowledge of language does not helps you, try to use your English with only Bible and books based on bible to do some advance in Chemistry. You will not success.Only professional priests had access to libraries and actual education. They were the only who did not had to work, so they could study. The "common folks" couldn't do so they had to care about their survivor. I hope that you finally getting the point that their advanced had nothing to do with religions.
Debate: Does a person's intelligence dictate their choice of religion?
Side: Yes

You original point was that Priest done most of the scientific advance in medieval. Now you should realize that it was because they were the only ones who educated...- Yup your claim was that "they keep the people dumb". Which I proven false by the existance of the JesuistsSimply knowledge of language does not helps you, try to use your English with only Bible and books based on bible to do some advance in Chemistry. You will not success.Prove to me that the Jesuists limited their missionary goals to teaching Latin onlyOnly professional priests had access to libraries and actual education. They were the only who did not had to work, so they could study. The "common folks" couldn't do so they had to care about their survivor.-Denying the existence of missionaries again, I see. While its true that they are the only ones educated, they never kept their knowledge to themselves and they are the ones responsible in spreading it to the worldI hope that you finally getting the point that their advanced had nothing to do with religions.-Nope, I have bigger hopes that you can finally take back your words that "They will most likely not persuade to higher education simply because they think that "they know enough", "Or will you still deny it? :D
Debate: Does a person's intelligence dictate their choice of religion?
Side: No

I hope you can explain how it happened that Einstein nor Richard Dawkins was unable to claim themselves as non-believers.
Debate: Does a person's intelligence dictate their choice of religion?
Side: Yes

Politeness ?
Debate: Does a person's intelligence dictate their choice of religion?
Side: No

Nope, they are not being polite. They admitted it themselves that they have no credible evidence to defy the existance of a divine being.
Debate: Does a person's intelligence dictate their choice of religion?
Side: Yes

and you have no credible evidence that you are not a pedophile so shouldn't you be add to the sex offenders list?
Debate: Does a person's intelligence dictate their choice of religion?
Side: No

Well done. You successfully made me laugh. I expect even greater entertainment someday
Debate: Does a person's intelligence dictate their choice of religion?
Side: Yes

Well done. You successfully made me laugh. I expect even greater entertainment somedayworthless as all your replies.
Debate: Does a person's intelligence dictate their choice of religion?
Side: No

Now thats what im talking about. Please sir, make more arguments like this. Its very memorable
Debate: Does a person's intelligence dictate their choice of religion?
Side: No

Nox0, Your argument should read; People with a formal education are less religious.Formal education is merely buying into that which you have been told. People with a real education decide things on their own from all information available to them. “A learned fool is more a fool than an ignorant fool.” ― Molière

Critical thinking, mathematics, Physics, chemistry aren't matter of opinion, you cannot be "lured" by evil teacher to believe that 3+3=11
Debate: Does a person's intelligence dictate their choice of religion?
Side: No

I always enjoy a good laugh when an atheist starts with critical thinking as if only an atheist can think.mathematics, Physics, chemistry aren't matter of opinion To a degree they are a matter of opinion. Not all physicist agree. Chemistry is even up for debate among its' own, read possible side-effects of drugs. In math we know that 3+3 is not 11, but what these numbers represent can be disputed. 1 is almost never a singular number as it 1 merely represents a unit of measure. Example 1: a book has x number of molecules, y number of protons, z number of electrons, etc.
