Debate: If evolution is taught in schools shouldn't creationism?
Side: Not on my watch!

If creationism is to be taught in schools, it relies on the religion that is most prevalent in that country being correct.In the case of America, from where most people on this webpage are, that would be christianity.The whole of Christian mythology is absurd.If we accept the christian message, we have to accept also that christ was god come to earth to spare us for our sins, correct?Ok... What about the people who came before Christ appeased us? Are they all doomed, purely because god couldn't be bothered to save their souls at the time? He was still throwing stroppy little tantrum? Not only that, but Christ died to save us from God's wrath, so therefore, he died to appease God. However, if he were God, then the ridiculous and almost psychotic argument of Christianity is that God came to earth to be tortured to death by his people, so that he could appease himself and forgive his people, the creation.That's like a parent, angry at their child, asking their child to stab them so that the child can be forgiven and the parent's anger removed...That just makes perfect logical clarity. Or, instead, it makes Christianity sound like a sado masochistic fetish party.If Christianity is so faulty as to be disproved in 4 paragrpahs, then its core belief about how we all got here is not worthy of credence. People should be taught facts, which come from science, not these ridiculous mickey mouse bull shit ideals.And I am being harsh, 'cause the real world is harsh, kid...

Creationism is a religious subject, as such can't be allowed in schools. Evolution however doesn't fall into religious lines, as atheism is not a religion. So one is legal in school, the other is not.

The way they are doing it, no. Not at all.There's one big difference between teaching myths that shouldn't be taken serious, considering the evidence against them, in a separate classroom, and teaching myths and stating them as facts, in a science classroom, and that they should be taken seriously over any evidence against them.I wouldn't have a problem with teaching it in the former sense. This is not what's being done in certain countries, and I'm totally against that. Religion has no place in science classrooms.

It's not even given any credibility in my country (Ireland ) in fact if you came out with some of the creationist views you would be laughed at ....sent to an asylum ...or totally ignored...any one who believes in any of this grade a nonsense is by any reasonable standards insane and should be kept away from sharp objects etc
Debate: If evolution is taught in schools shouldn't creationism?
Side: Not on my watch!

This isn't even an argument, evolution is backed up by facts, reason, observation, etc. creationism barely even counts as a hypothesis, believe whatever you want to believe but public schools paid by tax dollars should only teach scientific fact, not fairytales.

Fairy tales belong in church, not schools..........................................
Debate: If evolution is taught in schools shouldn't creationism?
Side: Not on my watch!

No, creationism is a religious belief and should not be part of any curriculum in a public school system, outside of learning about religions. It should never be taught as fact, because it is not a fact, cannot be proven, cannot be observed, and is completely out of sync with biology, and the laws of nature. Its complete hogwash.

Debate: If your spouse committed murder and he or she confided in you, would you turn them in?
Side: yes

I would say that most likely I would turn my husband in because a murderer is not who I wanted to marry. And also, if my husband killed someone else, who knows if his next attack will be on me. Obviously he is messed up in the head if he committed murder and thats not who I want to spend the rest of my life with.
Debate: If your spouse committed murder and he or she confided in you, would you turn them in?
Side: yes

Very good point where you said "a murderer is not who I wanted to marry."
Debate: If your spouse committed murder and he or she confided in you, would you turn them in?
Side: No

I disagree. Many people make mistakes and there are a million different situations that a murder could be. It doesnt mean they are messed up in the head, and if he loves you than he wont attack you. Thats not what love is.
Debate: If your spouse committed murder and he or she confided in you, would you turn them in?
Side: yes

How many mistakes does it take to screw your life up? Just ONE!!! Love has nothing to do with this. Pack your bags and get out of that house because your very spouse can hold you accountable as an accomplice.
Debate: If your spouse committed murder and he or she confided in you, would you turn them in?
Side: yes

"there are a million different situations that a murder could be."Like what? Are you saying that a situation could excuse murder? If it was a situation where you killed sombody to defent yourself, that would not be murder.
Debate: If your spouse committed murder and he or she confided in you, would you turn them in?
Side: yes

Even though people make mistakes, a murder is always commited with the best of intentions to kill. It can't possibly be a mistake if I stab some one in the leg with a sharp object, and say that it wasn't my intention to make him bleed.My point is that I wouldn't want to live under the same roof with a woman that could possibly be schizophrenic.
Debate: If your spouse committed murder and he or she confided in you, would you turn them in?
Side: yes

I would definitely turn him in, because I would be afraid of my life ending. They will get caught sooner or later and if it comes out that I withheld information then I can end up in jail. Even though I love this man I couldn't risk my life and my family for a crime he committed. He should be punished for what he did.
Debate: If your spouse committed murder and he or she confided in you, would you turn them in?
Side: yes

Murder under any circumstance is not right. A person who commits the act knows the consequences, and they know that they are guilty. I wouldn't be able to look at my spouse the same ever again. I would not be able to live with the secret of a murder.So yea, i would turn them in.
Debate: If your spouse committed murder and he or she confided in you, would you turn them in?
Side: yes

Yes I would be happy and relieved to turn my spouse in for murder. Killing someone is the one number one crime in this world. I don't want to stay married to a crazy woman who commits murder. I wouldn't feel safe if we have children in the house or sleeping next to her. I wouldn't be able to sleep or think right for months, maybe years.
Debate: If your spouse committed murder and he or she confided in you, would you turn them in?
Side: No

I would turn him in because he murdered someone. Don't get me worng I would try to persuade him first to turn himself in but if that didn't happen I would have to take reponsiblity for him. Plus I wouldn't want to feel the guilt of always knowing that I didn't turn that murder in. If he truly loved me I wouldn't have killed someone.
Debate: If your spouse committed murder and he or she confided in you, would you turn them in?
Side: yes

I would turn my spouse in if they committed murder. I would not want my wife to turn on me and kill me. If I found out that she had killed someone I would be gone. You can't love a person if they are not the person that you fell in love with. And I wouldn't fall in love with a murderer.
Debate: If your spouse committed murder and he or she confided in you, would you turn them in?
Side: yes

I would turn my spouse in if they told me they committed murder. Weather it was by accident or on purpose. If it was an accident than the police will figure that out. For example, what if my spouse murdered your spouse. Wouldn’t you want to know who killed him/her? I would, I wouldn’t allow my self to rest until I knew. Sometimes in life their is more to worry about than yourself.
Debate: If your spouse committed murder and he or she confided in you, would you turn them in?
Side: No

Alot of innocent poeple are sitting in our prison system today so we can't always depend on the police to determine if it was an accident or not, althoough I do agree with the need to know who murdered your loved one its hard to answer this question when you don't know the circumstances, sometimes you have to kill a person or people but I don't think that is reason enough to rot away in our prison system my man would only commit murder if he had to but no I would never turn him in for it, but if he is killing for fun or just to do it because he got too angry or something in that nature then not only should you report him but you need to be far away from him,
Debate: If your spouse committed murder and he or she confided in you, would you turn them in?
Side: yes

i agree. If it was an accident they have nothing to feel guilty about as long as they are honest and do the right thing. If they did it on purpose... they can go to jail
Debate: If your spouse committed murder and he or she confided in you, would you turn them in?
Side: yes

I say yes i would because no matter what nothing should make you kill any one, How are you going to kill someone and say it was a mistake.thats not right I dont care what nobody say if it was a mistake or what.
Debate: If your spouse committed murder and he or she confided in you, would you turn them in?
Side: yes

I put my argument on the side saying "yes" but in reality it really depends in my opinion. If my husband killed someone in self-defense, I'd rather them kill the person than my husband die, but if he just killed someone for no reason I probably would turn him in because love may be strong but it can also be blind. I would not want to be married to a murderer because what if one day he decided to kill me?
Debate: If your spouse committed murder and he or she confided in you, would you turn them in?
Side: yes

It all depends on the severity of the kill. Ofcourse I would be empathetic towards my husband and want him free, but if I knew it was a malicious deed instead of self defense, or to defend his family or belongings I would probably leave and want nothong to do with it.
Debate: If your spouse committed murder and he or she confided in you, would you turn them in?
Side: yes

I would turn in my spouse because i don't want to live with someone that have commit a murder. If you don't turn him/her in you would not live your life as peaceful as you want too because you going to have more problems in the future if you don't.
Debate: If your spouse committed murder and he or she confided in you, would you turn them in?
Side: yes

Yes, if the person I loved and lived with murdered someone then I would definitely turn them in. Murder is premeditated and intentional so you never know if later on down the line they will turn on you.
Debate: If your spouse committed murder and he or she confided in you, would you turn them in?
Side: yes

Yes, because who knows if they will turn on you and than one night that you less expect it they will try to kill you because its on their mind that you know the truth and the truth cant get out and they need to get rid of all types of clues even of those they love just incase they try to talk to someone.
Debate: If your spouse committed murder and he or she confided in you, would you turn them in?
Side: yes

Yes definately i will turn him in to the police because he has commited a murder and its a sin. Maybe if he gets arrested,he can feel guilty for what he has done and try not to repeat it again. And also how can i trust a murderer?He can even be telling a lie to me and maybe can kill me for someone else in the future.so Just by confiding to me does not make him clean and innocent.
Debate: If your spouse committed murder and he or she confided in you, would you turn them in?
Side: No

You say its a sin so obviously you believe in God and respect the commandments given to moses on mount sinai. But you contradict yourself by breaking the holy matrimony you experienced with your life so technically thats a sin. You sin either way so it really comes down to if you love your wife.
Debate: If your spouse committed murder and he or she confided in you, would you turn them in?
Side: yes

i would turn in my wife because its wrong to kill someone. it could have been an accident but it was still wrong and besides the police are going to find out who killed that person but i don't want her to leave me for a long period of time so i would tell but then again i wouldn't.
Debate: If your spouse committed murder and he or she confided in you, would you turn them in?
Side: yes

The murders of a person is a crime that cant be overlook, to sleep next to a person who has commited this crime, and you knowing about makes you as much responsible as that persons.
Debate: If your spouse committed murder and he or she confided in you, would you turn them in?
Side: yes

I would turn him in becasue it is wrong for any reason to kill someone. If he can kill one person what says that he will not kill me? Everyone wants to know what happened to their loved ones and that would give them the peace that the person that did it was paying for what he did. Love is not worth the risk of you getting caught for not telling what you know.
Debate: If your spouse committed murder and he or she confided in you, would you turn them in?
Side: yes

I would turn them in. To murder someone takes a weapon, a beating, or something harmful. Anyone who would be willing to end a life and put forth effort knowing the consequences should not get away with murder. Think about the other half as well, the life that was ended more than likely has family, friends, and a life. If you were one who was hurt from that side you would want to have justice and put the killer in prison for hurting your loved one. Even if you love the person you should think about the whole picture. Do you really want the person you live with and have relations with to be a murderer? Plus, if he commited murder what makes you so sure he wouldn't do the same to you.
Debate: If your spouse committed murder and he or she confided in you, would you turn them in?
Side: yes

Its kinda both yes and no, but mostly yes because i wouldn't want one of my spouse that has committed murder in my house or anywhere near my loved ones even though it was an accident. It would still cause problem to everyone. I would likely turn him in unless he moves out of state, anywhere away from Texas I'm fine with it.
Debate: If your spouse committed murder and he or she confided in you, would you turn them in?
Side: yes

I would definately turned them in even if it hurst me. Any person that commits a murder should not get away with it because if they did it once they can do it again so it dangerous to have them out in the enviroment. Also, if i dont turn her in how do i know that later on in life i might be a victim.
Debate: If your spouse committed murder and he or she confided in you, would you turn them in?
Side: yes

Well I understand some people are crazy in love, but for me that would be to crazy. Taking another persons life is never the solution or acceptable. Who knows if her next move is not towards me, who knows? If she was crazy enough to do it once, she is crazy enough to do it again.
Debate: If your spouse committed murder and he or she confided in you, would you turn them in?
Side: yes

Im all about the no snitching saying but when it comes to murder thats when the line is drawn. Yea at first I probably wouldn't do anything about it. Then I think about there is few reasons why someone would be drove to kill but I don't think the act should be committed. In saying that i would turn my wife in if she ever killed somebody.
Debate: If your spouse committed murder and he or she confided in you, would you turn them in?
Side: No

I would turn her in because I think that she dont have no right to take away someones life, thats god's decision. The reason that I would turn her in is because she would be a dangerous person for me because if she did it once she could do it twice.
Debate: If your spouse committed murder and he or she confided in you, would you turn them in?
Side: yes

Yes, i would turn them in to the cops, because i wouldn't want my kids looking up to a murderer. The kid's are going to believe that its okay to murder another human just for the fact that they're mom has done it, and no one wants they're kids running around with that kind of mentality. Its not right for someone to be free after they committed a crime that big.
Debate: If your spouse committed murder and he or she confided in you, would you turn them in?
Side: yes

I would turn my husband in because that's just plain wrong. I would explain "How would you feel if somebody killed a family member or a close friend? Would you want them to be punished?" So for doing a wrong and to become better you have to take your consequence's.
Debate: If your spouse committed murder and he or she confided in you, would you turn them in?
Side: yes

I would turn them in because murder is a crime; whether they meant to do it or not, they still did it. Although that person is my husband, I would turn them in. Murder is not something that you play around with, but is something that people take very seriously. I know that in some cases, murder can be well thought out, but in others it is something you do at the "drop of a hat." If I found out that my husband had killed somebody, whether that person was someone I knew or not, I would still turn him in to the police but I wouldn't give record that it was me that snitched on him. I would just leave it as an anonymous person and then secretly help the police capture him.
Debate: If your spouse committed murder and he or she confided in you, would you turn them in?
Side: yes

I would turn them in, because that is just crazy. Why would you ever kill somebody? Whoever would do that shall be punished for their crime, I don't care who you are to me, or what you mean to me I would definitely turn you in. If you help that person you may also go to jail for the crime as well, and I'm not going to jail.
Debate: If your spouse committed murder and he or she confided in you, would you turn them in?
Side: yes

I would have to say yes. She committed murder, a thing that can get you in major trouble, even if you're an accompalice. I don't care what the reason was, it could have been accidental, there could have been someone trying to attack her, or whatever, she killed someone. The second she tells me, I wil call the police, just in case she either goes on another killing spree or decides to kill me
Debate: If your spouse committed murder and he or she confided in you, would you turn them in?
Side: yes

If my husband murder someone I will turn him in , because is a crime and for every act, I have learn that there is a consequence for everything. And he will have to pay for the consequences of committing a crime.
Debate: If your spouse committed murder and he or she confided in you, would you turn them in?
Side: yes

Killing someone is wrong no matter what. If you kill someone then i think you should do the right thing and turn yourself in, instead of waiting and wondering if someone else would turn you in. I know it would be difficult for me to turn in my wife, but they commited a horrible crime and they should pay for it. No one is above the law basicly.
Debate: If your spouse committed murder and he or she confided in you, would you turn them in?
Side: yes

Yes, I would turn my spouse in. Who is to say that if they killed once that they wont kill again. Who is to say that you aren't there next target. If they were to ever become paranoid about being caught they might just blow out your brains because paranoia makes you do crazy things. It would be hard to turn them in because you have a deep connection with your spouse but it's something you have to do for your own safety.
Debate: If your spouse committed murder and he or she confided in you, would you turn them in?
Side: No

I feel like if I was married to someone and he confessed to me that he had murdered someone and it was just the two of us, no kids, I'd side with him and help him cover. But if we had children, which is more likely than not, I would put their safety first. And if my husband was a good husband and father, he would understand the need to protect them and turn himself in.
Debate: If your spouse committed murder and he or she confided in you, would you turn them in?
Side: yes

I would turn them in whether it was self-defense or an act of rage. If it was self-defense they would most likely get away with it but if it were an act of rage I would not want to spend the rest of my life with that person. My conscience would eat at me and I could not live knowing that there's a family that is mourning because of my spouse's actions.
Debate: If your spouse committed murder and he or she confided in you, would you turn them in?
Side: yes

I would say yes to that because my wife would be a murderer. A murderer as a spouse is not the happiest life you can bring upon your self, knowing that everyday you would have so much stress about when the cops might break in and take you for affiliating with a crime scene or even if your own life is in danger. So from these reasons I would turn my spouse in.
Debate: If your spouse committed murder and he or she confided in you, would you turn them in?
Side: yes

HECK YES, I would turn her in with the QUICKNESS because if she did something like that then she is a little Crazy, loCo,insane in the brain, and Im not Trying to be her next victim. A murder is a murder and its illegal and not right.
Debate: If your spouse committed murder and he or she confided in you, would you turn them in?
Side: yes

I would say that i would turn them in because i don't think that's right, killing someone and getting away with it, and also i wouldn't want to be next to a murderer on my bed.
Debate: If your spouse committed murder and he or she confided in you, would you turn them in?
Side: yes

If I had to come down to a decision, I would lean towards having to turn in my spouse in (barring a conversation with her), and here’s why. I don’t know what she would be thinking when had this happen. An act of that magnitude would really require someone to get professional help to ask the question: “What was going through your mind while committing murder?”My spouse and I would have to talk about the whole thing first; really go through all the events that took place in line for this event to occur. Then after our talk, we’d have to talk with her family, as well as mine, because I would want the decision on turning her in be decided on our collectively family as a whole. During that conversation, I’m hoping to get a really thorough answer from her on how everything took place. And also another thing; you wouldn’t want to be around the type of people that would do such a thing, but there can be case where you’d have to consider their reasons and conclude if there’d be a possible offer of a second chance.
