Debate: Capitalism vs. Democracy
Side: Capitalism

So since wireless, or shit like that, COULD cause cancer in the future (without any evidence), this is why Capitalism should be regulated? I can see why you are so iffy about legalizing drugs. But with drugs, we at least know the dangers of them. Drug use is about personal choice. Drugs can do good and they can do bad, but in the end it comes down to what the person wants, not what the moral majority wants. If we were truly concerned about harmful drugs, alcohol and tobacco would be made illegal. But that is not the case. Instead, we say that they can't be sold to minors, and that is a good idea. Not regulating the market, just regulating developing humans. Kids have been proven to not have fully developed brains, and since you are a legal adult at 18, it makes sense that merchants can not sell to 18 year olds. HOWEVER!, the possession of cigarettes or alcohol should not be illegal for minors in the sense that they should face criminal prosecution. Instead, just take it away from them. If we are concerned for their health and well-being, charging them as criminals is not the way to go. But for legal adults, in general, it should be up to them on what they want to do to their minds and bodies. This idea that we need government to tell us what is and isn't good for us goes against the very principles of liberty. We are free human beings and do not need government to say "you can't smoke that weed or eat those mushrooms". It is up to the individual to decide. My concern is for freedom of choice, not for personal gain. I do not wish to ever do DMT or Salvia Divinorum, but I believe that they should be legalized. I do not wish to have sex with a prostitute, but I believe that that should be legalized. I do not like to gamble (i don't even play the lottery) and my views are the same on that. So it's about individualism and keeping the government from becoming our kindergarten teachers. As for wireless phones, that is not a "cord"... that is an energy wave. And stem cells are far more complex than "cure for AIDS", however, it is the closest we've gotten. And it's kind of weird that you assume that without regulation there would be an epidemic of cloning... and stem cell should be a common thing. And bringing up over-population in your rant against the demons of capitalism isn't really helping you. I could see where you were going before in your earlier arguments, but this all just sounds like someone who wants the natural order (as of now) to continue instead of letting science make us as immortal as possible. Not everyone believes in Heaven (and most Scientists don't, as well).And Democracy does not give everyone equal opportunity or even equality. All it gives them is a chance to try and change something, but it will always come down to majority rule. This is what stops the gays from receiving their rights and this is what stops individuals from choosing what to do with their private lives. And you conclude your argument with saying that business owners will destroy the environment and enslave society if government didn't have so much power these days... that just seems, to me, to be a prediction made from paranoia and nothing more. But yes, you are a white, male and from the upper-middle class. I, however, am a minority balancing between lower-middle and middle class. Does it make a difference in economics? Not really. Most economic Liberals tend to either be in poverty or white, upper-middle class types. But my concern comes from your problem with freedom of choice, as if choice is overrated. At least you are willing to admit it, though.
