Debate: Political Party - which has the most sound logic and ideas?
Side: Republicans

Well life does begin at conception. End of story. "a carbon- and water-based cellular form with complex organization and heritable genetic information. They undergo metabolism, maintain homeostasis, possess a capacity to grow, respond to stimuli, reproduce and, through natural selection, adapt to their environment in successive generations." -WikipediaLet's see... A zygote is a cell that is comprised of water and carbon-based molecules, among other things.It has genetic information, more importantly a complete set of human DNA.It has a metabolism- it "eats" the yolk of the egg for energy.It has homeostasis because it is maintained by the mother's body temperature.It grows and it's cells divide.It can respond to stimuli, more and more as it grows.It doesn't reproduce yet, but hey... neither does a child, which is clearly alive.And natural selection refers to the species, not the individual, and is true for all species anyway.So how is it not alive?True, making abortions illegal would not stop all of them, but it would surely stop some. So many women get abortions and then soon realize it was a mistake to do so. And it is a mistake. It's destroying life, as explained above.

1. you completely missed the point. 2. you're wrong... that or even vegans are serial killers
Debate: Political Party - which has the most sound logic and ideas?
Side: Republicans

Vegans don't kill humans for no reason other than the fact that they don't want a baby! Well they might, but that's not the point. Human life is sacred ans special. So sorry for not specifying that we were discussing human life. I kind of thought that was a given. We are the only organisms on Earth, as far as I know, that have a rational soul, that we can think logically and reason as a species.
Debate: Political Party - which has the most sound logic and ideas?
Side: Democrats

vegetables have no more or less life than that cluster of cells being aborted. science determines the best it can when something has a life, why any abortion has to be performed before a certain point.which I agree with completely by the way.but if you think that something has a soul the second of conception, there obviously is zero way that we are ever going to agree on this.I don't believe in a soul though, I think it's just a brain, and the brain isn't working at that point, so there is no self-awareness, kind of like a vegetable.

Side: Democrats

The death penalty is a bad idea for practical reasons:You forgot how it doesn't deter crime, its only legitimate purpose.over one million dead Iraqis.Americans never seem to care about that figure, only about their own dead. It's pretty disgusting, and very telling about our national character.

I'm not scared at all. Just lazy. lol. I've debated about that concept at least two different times, as in two different debates.

The funniest part of this debate, I just realized, is that you said you wanted them to debate you about that and nothing. I said I've already done it and I wasn't in the mood and got two people. Haha XD
Debate: Political Party - which has the most sound logic and ideas?
Side: Democrats

"Democrats is that they are so ready to abort babies but won't execute guilty murderers or wage war against an evil nation."Democrats aren't all like "Go abortion, do it!!!"We just want to have the choice. Please stop saying that democrats want people to have abortions. That's false.Also, what war? Oh... the one were finally buckling down on, and finishing?
Debate: Political Party - which has the most sound logic and ideas?
Side: Republicans

I never said Democrats want abortions to occur, but they sure don't want them to stop. It's not as if Democrats go out and urge women to abort their babies, but I don't think women should be given the choice of an abortion unless there are certain circumstances, like endangerment of the mother's health or rape, as long as the abortion is early on, like in the first month or two.And yes, we're finishing the war. Are you guys all happy? Because I sure as hell feel a lot more safe! Oh wait... no I don't. Oh that's right, I feel leaving the region entirely might spark a revolt by any remaining radicals and the nation might revert to the way it was in 2001! That sounds like a lot of fun.
Debate: Political Party - which has the most sound logic and ideas?
Side: Democrats

I would like abortions to stop. I would like for people to not have to make that choice, or to not make that choice. I personally wouldn't abort a child no matter what my circumstances. But I personally love children, and have a stable life. I couldn't speak for someone in another circumstance.I don't believe that religious teachings belong in politics, and it's a religious belief that abortion is wrong. I'm not anti-religion. I'm anti-religious interference in political opinions that govern over non-religious persons.It's that lack of religious influence that I believe makes democratic logic more sound.
Debate: Political Party - which has the most sound logic and ideas?
Side: Republicans

Well I feel many of these women could easily give the children up for adoption, which is very successful. And I know a lot of people think anti-abortion stances are religious, but they don't have to be. I look at the facts and I never blindly follow my religion based on what religious leaders say, like the Pope. I see abortion as murder of innocent life because I truly believe the fetus is alive at conception. Gametes are alive as well, but they are not humans in and of themselves. When they meet and form a zygote, they transform into a single-celled version of a human being.
Debate: Political Party - which has the most sound logic and ideas?
Side: Democrats

They don't have to be religious stances, but they are. It wouldn't even be a question if it weren't for religion.And it's fine that you believe that. But who does your belief effect? Everyone.You, as a religious person, have a choice. I as a non-religious person have a choice. That's how it should be. I'm not religious. So why do I have to conform to your religious point of view?Democratic ideals understand that it's a diverse world out there. Not everyone is religious, and we shouldn't have to be.
Debate: Political Party - which has the most sound logic and ideas?
Side: Republicans

Republicans can be pretty ignorant, but they're more logical with their ideals. The problem with Democrats is that they seem to have lost touch with Middle America. They're soft on crime and very soft on terrorism. The whole redistribution of wealth thing is really just a matter of opinion (at least, in my opinion it is). But they're focus on political correctness and humanism really just hurts their credibility. And on liberal issues that are more important they really pussy out on. Think of this, they are doing nothing to legalize gay marriage or at least make mandatory civil union ship in every state that gives the same rights as a married couple. And drugs are still banned on a federal scale. We have a completely Democratic government yet they have done nothing to cross over to these liberal civil rights.The Republicans are also against gay marriage and drugs, so all it does is cancel out.

"The problem with Democrats is that they seem to have lost touch with Middle America."You're saying this AFTER Obama's election?
Debate: Political Party - which has the most sound logic and ideas?
Side: Republicans

Middle America WANTS to be tough on crime and terrorism.Obama was elected for "change"... which has hardly happened. This always happens, it's not about ideals, it's about the current events. Hoover had the Great Depression. LBJ had Vietnam and his great society. Bush has the Recession and the War.
Debate: Political Party - which has the most sound logic and ideas?
Side: Democrats

That's sort of a presumptuous statement, don't you think?And Middle America can be swung one way or another given the fitting propaganda, Bush's exaggerated (in retrospect) records and reports in making the case for Iraq pulled America almost unanimously into war.So please establish whether Middle America really wants to be tough on crime and terrorism (especially given the controversy over Guantanamo), or is just currently scared or ignorant of the situation at hand.As for this change you expect, it's been a few months, time will tell.
Debate: Political Party - which has the most sound logic and ideas?
Side: Republicans

This is according to Gallup polls and basic human wants (psychology).People feel that they're lives are more important than the comfort of terrorists or criminals. Yes, there's the Humanist liberal ideology and the Christian Right wing ideology that counters those beliefs, but most Americans are not Right Wing Fundamentalists or Left Wing Humanists. They're just average Joes who want to be alive the next day, and they couldn't give two fucks about about the comfort of terrorists."Change" was just a catch phrase. There's no real change. What? A little closer to socialism. We've been on that track. It's not change if we move further up the track. Obama is against gay marriage and against the legalization of any narcotics. The places where he could make a true difference he leaves untapped because he's against that true difference. He's just another politician.
Debate: Political Party - which has the most sound logic and ideas?
Side: Democrats

Let's please distinguish between "terrorists" and terrorist suspects. Don't run right over the complex political structure and non-structure of our conflicts in the Middle East and pre-qualify these prisoners as absolute terrorists.Most of the information we needed was obtained by verbal communication, so you should understand that I'm troubled over a suspect being waterboarded afterward 50+ times in a month, for what?!It's a game of numbers. A handful of suspects in a prison means nothing on a news ticker, it's a rather elusive way that we treat death when the passing of a local girl sprang public outrage over the girl's parenting and supervision, whereas we're completely passive toward the 1,000's of soldiers who died in Iraq. It really depends on how absorbed you are into the situation, and when the whole world is watching you backstep on your own practice of due process and a fair trial, it becomes a little more than a symbolic issue.Terrorist SUSPECTS, Pyg.If you're truly interested in disclosing the argument about Obama and change, then by all means challenge me in a debate, however I'll have to reject this argument due to topical relevance for the current moment.
Debate: Political Party - which has the most sound logic and ideas?
Side: Republicans

Coerce interrogation was only done to high valued detainees. you know, the leaders caught running operations.Water boarding is what got information on the second wave of attacks.it was all in the documents that Obama released. Yes, he did give away all of our secrets so that terrorists can now teach their men on how to resist our methods (you know, like the fact that the CIA KNEW that the terrorists were taught to give away information once they could no longer take any pain because Allah would grant them that permission... that information is useless to us now because it only worked since the terrorists didn't know that we knew that).but, the average Joe doesn't mind a terrorists' discomfort if it means the safety of his family. Democrats do not realize this and Republicans do. Yes, I dislike both parties, but the Party that makes me actually feel safe is the Republicans.

AMEN! This is the best statement I've head all day. I'm sick of them letting stuff slide by god forbid someone should get offended.
Debate: Political Party - which has the most sound logic and ideas?
Side: Republicans

I believe the Republican party best follows the principles on which the United States was based. We uphold crucial liberties that our constitution gives us and more importantly we don't bow down to every minority or activist group that cries inequality. Our government has let far too many things slide because god forbid some minority should be offended. If the founding fathers saw all the things the liberals have allowed in the name of "equality" they would be rolling in their graves. I am a proud republican and Obama can pry my guns from my cold, dead hands.

Side: Republicans

Why fix what isn't broken? America isn't broken why should liberals pretend to fix it. No what liberals do is destroy and rebuild the greatest country in the world into something less because they feel we offend people with our greatness. Plus they are communists something we fought against all these years and are now becoming it? No logic there.
Debate: Political Party - which has the most sound logic and ideas?
Side: Democrats

America has been broken so many times, if it hadn't been fixed by liberals there would still be slavery, segregation, women not being able to vote, and so much more that the narrowminded people of our society would have rather kept in place.

I'm a liberal when it comes to gay marriage and real meaningful progress. I dont condone murder of babies, a liberal isn't always an extremist.
Debate: Political Party - which has the most sound logic and ideas?
Side: Democrats

I'll take an observational approach for each aspect of either philosophy.Economically speaking, capitalism has enabled us to generate mass amounts of wealth by allowing the basic human element of personal gain/greed to empower society through investment and mass production. Usually we work upon an exploitable resource until new market trends point the industry in another direction. So we get a steady rise of wealth over time and an occasional recession when resources run out and the market forces reset themselves to a new craze.That would be ideal. However, in today's society this profit-based motivation has pushed jobs overseas in search of maximizing profit. It has caused overproduction in housing and crashed its value. It has spawned loan sharks and usury. It has allowed the oil enterprise to dominate our energy industry and suffocated any attempts at pushing for efficient, American-made, renewable, non-pollutant energy like solar, wind, hydrogen, etc.Today's society is too structurally complex for blind market forces to repair themselves into working order. We can't expect our energy producers to group together and re-organize countless gas stations, power plants, and energy production facilities to accommodate this.We need a group of experts to oversee and intervene on behalf of the greater good. Folks, I'm sorry, we need government oversight.What we don't need oversight on is our lifestyles. I think we can agree that morals will change from person to person, it isn't fair to force one's views upon another especially when morals are an extension of preference and are therefore subjective.Unless you're religious, in which case is unacceptable in the realm of a free democracy, especially when it makes people fervently adopt fallacy for fact like:1. A group of cells equates to a living, conscious human, such that when this group of cells is disrupted, it equates to murdering a person.2. Homosexuality is harmful in some way to other people and changing the legality of same-sex marriage will change the sexual ratio of the population which has remained relatively constant for millenia regardless.What group would encompass people who infringe on personal matters that have nothing to do with them? What group would encompass those who discredit science (the most reliable source of all) and credit people they like dressed in suits, or credit an ancient religion? What group stubbornly insists on rigidity in the face of emergent and duly needed change?The Republican Party. I will take no part in that.(about 1.) This alone has caused centuries of social and emotional damage, has destroyed women's lives, and stunted the most promising branch of medical research in all history.

I'm sorry to say it, but modern day Republicans are a bunch of idiots.Take just about any issue and the Democrats are on the smart side of the issue while the Republicans are on the dumb side.Gay marriageDemocrat position: Allow itRepublican position: Fuck you, faggot.WarDemocrat position: Only under very serious circumstances.Republican position: Terrorists are evil! Who cares about the consequences?AbortionDemocrat position: Roe v. Wade -- illegal after viability.Republican position: Never. The Bible is more important than the Constitution.EvolutionDemocrat position: Teach it, obviously.Republican position: It's a liberal conspiracy! Schools should be extensions of the church.TaxationDemocrat position: Tax the wealthy more, they can better afford it. Taxing the poor means they can't afford food and housing.Republican position: Tax the poor just as much as the rich. It's only fair.ImprisonmentDemocrat position: Deterrence is important, but rehabilitation is important too. Crime is a complicated issue.Republican position: Stuff as many people into prison as possible.----I could go on, but you get idea. Republicans are stupid.
