Debate: Should fast-food workers earn $15 an hour?
Side: Yes

1) They shouldn't care so much about the owner's success that they disregard their need to make a fair wage.2) I never said such a thing. You are trying to make it look like I said that to avoid addressing what I actually said. You insist on arguing against the strawman you've created and continue to try propping up3) I mean this, as opposed to paying the least possible.4) Actually...upon further consideration...yes owners should pay others before themselves. From vendors to employees, everyone should get paid before the owner. Suppose I hire someone to help me fill an order for a client, and the client fails to pay me, it will be me that takes the hit, and not the employee I hired. It's called being ethical. I never lied about how I really feel about number 1 I had to clear up your wild, poorly founded assumptions about how I feel. I don't think an employee should be concerned about how well their boss is doing financially unless it's clear that the boss also cares about them. Businesses should aim for win-win relationships not predatory relationships.Snarky is not exactly in my vocabulary. Asshole encompasses a very large group of people in my book.Ok I'll try not to use that word again while debating with you :/ lolYou should add bosses who are more concerned with what they can get from their employees than providing good jobs to them to that list in your book.
Debate: Should fast-food workers earn $15 an hour?
Side: No

So, you are saying that employees should take as much as they think they deserve. You are also saying that owners should give as much as other people deserve. These are fundamentally opposed to each other. So, you want people to behave differently in different circumstances.You can use snarky all you want, just don't get "offended" when someone calls you an asshole.

It would be cool to see "non-chain" mom and pop fast food joints take over the abandoned buildings :)
Debate: Should fast-food workers earn $15 an hour?
Side: No

And think about...where are those other workers going to go? I mean they are already near the bottom of the barrel working at fast food joints. Do they honestly have any more options?
Debate: Should fast-food workers earn $15 an hour?
Side: Yes

People willing and able to work can always find work . Workers can say as they walk..."Shitty jobs are easy to find, why should I be loyal to this one!"
Debate: Should fast-food workers earn $15 an hour?
Side: No

Considering their problem is getting paid low amounts for work that requires low skill and they are asking for 15$/hr wage for said job.I mean even small construction jobs are only 9-10.50$/hr and that takes a bit more skillIf they suck it up and realize what they are asking for is kind of silly then yah. So you're right.
Debate: Should fast-food workers earn $15 an hour?
Side: Yes

15$ an hour ain't shit. A construction worker accepting 9-10.50$/hr needs to find a better employer.If they suck it up and realize what they are asking for is kind of silly then yah. So you're right.It's not silly to expect to get paid well for hard work.
Debate: Should fast-food workers earn $15 an hour?
Side: No

A construction worker accepting 9-10.50$/hr needs to find a better employer.For small construction jobs this is acceptable :l. They are not working any heavy machinery just radial saws, hammers nails basic stuff.It's not silly to expect to get paid well for hard workCuz it's so hard to work in a fast food joint. It's only long and boring hours ,but not hard.Now being an Independent Contractor that has to go from door to door all day ON FOOT with a high chance of not even making money that day, is hard.
Debate: Should fast-food workers earn $15 an hour?
Side: Yes

For small construction jobs this is acceptable :l. They are not working any heavy machinery just radial saws, hammers nails basic stuff.If you are an extreme beginner. You may have to brush up on your social skills but if you know what you are doing and accept less than 25$ per hour you are selling yourself seriously short.Cuz it's so hard to work in a fast food joint. It's only long and boring hours ,but not hard.It depends on the place really. I've seen places where the workers are busting ass, and I've seen places where everyone looks like they are [offensive term removed]Now being an Independent Contractor that has to go from door to door all day ON FOOT with a high chance of not even making money that day, is hard.I have done both and if the pay was the same, I would prefer working as an independent contractor. There is something especially taxing about working in a busy fast food restaurant. It may have something to do with the unlikelihood of meaningful advancement even if you are good.As an independent contractor, all you need to do is a few highly visible good jobs and be easy to talk to, and you are on your way.

If you are an extreme beginner. You may have to brush up on your social skills but if you know what you are doing and accept less than 25$ per hour you are selling yourself seriously short. 25$/hr for the simple work I was doing? 0.0 I mean playing video games on the 2nd hardest difficulty is tougher than the small construction work that I was doing lolIt depends on the place really.

Well mostly because the area I worked in was still full of racist folk. :/

15 dollars an hour for working at McDonalds? Not to mention the country would go broke, but, for working at McDonalds?Heh heh heh heh heh heh
Debate: Should fast-food workers earn $15 an hour?
Side: Yes

The country wouldn't go broke if upper management took a pay cut.Try frequenting restaurants that treat their employees better. It's a much better experience. If there wasn't so much money being funneled away by CEO's and upper management, it would be easy for a fast food restaurant like Mcdonalds to pay the employees 20$/hr. there would not need to be a price increase and the atmosphere would be way better.
Debate: Should fast-food workers earn $15 an hour?
Side: No

But isn't that Capitalism?There are more factors to it then just CEOs taking pay cuts. A lot of red tape to go through. Sadly, it will never happen.Not to mention what about the people that is out there that have skill? Electricians, truck drivers, engineers, etc should make way more then then average McDonald's worker. It would need a massive overhaul, not just pay cuts for upper management.
Debate: Should fast-food workers earn $15 an hour?
Side: No

Such US AGAINST THEM politics. You should learn more about the economics.
Debate: Should fast-food workers earn $15 an hour?
Side: No

I'm tired of hearing about how people should be paid for how hard they work. I worked fast food, and it was stressful, but it wasn't all that productive. More productive jobs pay better. Fast food is easy. If I owned a fast food joint and I was forced to raise my wages. Most of my current employees would be out on their asses so that I could hire people who are worth the pay.
Debate: Should fast-food workers earn $15 an hour?
Side: No

Absolutely not. Every time an employer raises pay, he has to raise prices. He also has to lower hours or lay workers off, because there's less money from customers. Then shipping costs would go up. Then fuel costs. In the end, no body benefits.
Debate: Should fast-food workers earn $15 an hour?
Side: No

No, it's called a free market. I believe in labor laws but, this is just bullshit. McDonals would then have to fire half their staff and they would have to raise the price for fastfood.

I don't see the issue, I don't see how the sexuality, or the gender pairing of the parents has any effect on the child's upbringing nor on the parenting skills of the couple.

It is a well known fact that homosexuals were sexually abused as children.... Gays have a significantly higher chance of illegal activity which is why over HALF are in prison.

It is a well known fact that homosexuals were sexually abused as childrenNot actually true. Some were, some weren't, just like non homosexuals. Plus, that doesn't mean they will abuse their kids.Gays have a significantly higher chance of illegal activity which is why over HALF are in prison.This isn't something people say. Wow, you came up with a new reason to hate gays. While you are at it, why not just make up other stuff. You should make up a specific lie about homosexuals that shows they are bad around kids.

Homosexuality isa mental disorder. Its a disease. Would you risk innocent children to be exposed to potential abuse and very big possibility to be infected as well...
Debate: Should Gays Be Allowed To Adopt?
Side: Yes because

Are you this dumb? You disgust me. Where the hell do you get the idea that kids can be INFECTED with homosexuality??? It is a thought process. You are born with the preference. Just like you are born with taste buds that make you like certain foods. For you to say something as offensive as "Its a disease that innocent children can get infected with" just makes me wish I didnt live on the same planet as you. and for you to pull the abuse card when you very well know that any kid from straight or homosexual parents have the chance to be abused. You are out of line for saying that. Just because someone has a different preference from you doesnt mean you need to call it a disease. You are out of line. And I dont care how hostile my response may seem, you should be ashamed of yourself.
Debate: Should Gays Be Allowed To Adopt?
Side: Yes because

It is a well known fact that homosexuals were sexually abused as children....All of them, or a majority of them? Because heterosexuals get abused to...Gays have a significantly higher chance of illegal activity which is why over HALF are in prison.You have a study to back that up? Even if that were true, that doesn't mean the cause of their illegal activity is from them being gay, it could be from a third variable. For example, society oppresses gay people, and thus influences them towards illegal activity. As for the homosexuals are in prison, yes, a lot of men in prison fuck other men, it's not because they are particularly attracted to men, it is because they are desperate... I mean talk about being locked up in a cage for years, with no hope of female attention, and being mentally unbalanced and having... needs... to contribute to that mental unbalance.
Debate: Should Gays Be Allowed To Adopt?
Side: Yes because

Oh my goodness - that is the most backwards comment I have heard. Gay's are not a product of an abused childhood, nor are they more likely to be involved in illegal activity.Your sexual preference bears no impact on your ability to parent a child. Goodness - give yourself a shake.

Debate: Should Gays Be Allowed To Adopt?
Side: NO because

In the name of 'democracy', many things and issues are skewed in favour of personal choice and freedom. While homosexuality does not physically 'harm' a child, it psychologically brings about the wrong message to the child. Such relationships are not to be encouraged because it is not normal human behaviour. It is a choice that some people make. It is inappropriate and the child (while he may be loved) will be confused with the social order of things.
Debate: Should Gays Be Allowed To Adopt?
Side: Yes because

Your a Fuckface. Not everyone should be raised to be heterosexual. I guess raising a child with two parents is brainwashing. Just like raising a child to be Christians. Your killing their freedom of religion rights and not allowing them to discover religion and guidance in their own, which is worse than having two parents.
Debate: Should Gays Be Allowed To Adopt?
Side: Yes because

Just like God told Abraham to kill Isaac, and last time I checked Killing is a way worse sin than being homosexual. So what's your fucking point. And also, the assholes who written the bible were homophobes.
Debate: Should Gays Be Allowed To Adopt?
Side: Yes because

As long as the person is competent and not a child molester I don't see why they can't have children.
Debate: Should Gays Be Allowed To Adopt?
Side: Yes because

The debate should be framed around the child, who is clearly better off with gay parents than in some institution. Conservatives who "believe in family" or "protect family values" should be the first proponents of gay adoption, but it would seem to me that some of them they're too desperate to show the extent of their bigotry and hypocrisy.

Debate: Should Gays Be Allowed To Adopt?

Gays have as much rights as straigth people. Some people might say that children need a mother figure in their life but a teacher, grandma or friend can also fulfill this.

Side: Yes because

You know what- Fuck you all, the amount of times I have seen you bullshit assholes on here bitching about " Gays should rot in hell, it's a sin, immoral, sick, mental disorder" e.t.c. makes me wanna punch the fucking computer screen. At the same time, more and more of these degenerates come on the site with names such as "gaytruth" or "gaylies", obviously with one goal- to troll the site with anti-gay propaganda, and no one does a thing. Are there not site moderators? This is a debate site, not a site of decadence where people just insult each other and say obscene things for the sake of boredom.

Jesus Christ Jungel-boy! Calm down. Jc has admitted to having over 40 accounts... all of them ant-gay. So almost every single anti-gay person is really just Jc. Also....

Debate: Should Gays Be Allowed To Adopt?
Side: Yes because

I honestly don't think this should even be a question. There is no viable argument against this. Someone's sexual orientation has no impact on their ability to be a parent. I'm having a hard time coming up with more things to say here because it's common sense. Society already accepts single parents, infertile couples, and straight couples to adopt... how are gay couples any different from these?
Debate: Should Gays Be Allowed To Adopt?
Side: NO because

Inappropriate sexual orientation will have an impact on children while it does not mean that they do not have the ability to be good parents. Providing the essential environment for the child to grow up is paramount for the overall well-being of the child. Do we want to teach the child to accept homosexuality and that it is something 'normal'? Then a male and female couple becomes 'abnormal'?I do not agree that gay couples are similar to infertile couples. Infertile couples don't have a choice... it could be due to some biological problems but gay is a choice. They choose to have same sex relationship leading to their inability to have children. If they want to have children, choose the right partner.

Study after study after study has show that who you are sexually attracted to IS NOT A CHOICE. You're claiming that if two people love eachother, are naturally attracted to eachother, and want children, they can't be with eachother and still have kids?

Ok, i got downvoted, can I get a reason why? I personally see no argument against gay adoption, and there is nothing wrong with saying that. If you have a specific reason for down voting, please say so. If you are just a troll, well, then, um, I have very little I can say to you.
