It´s one of opportunities how to get off matrix, how to decrease the power of people which handle money
Debate: Is Basic Income a Human Right??
Side: Yes!

the money is there, the wealth is there.... we just have to share in more human way. Nobody should anymore live in poverty! Nobody should suffer from hunger on our beautiful Earth!
Debate: Is Basic Income a Human Right??
Side: Yes!

It is a very effective means to allow full participation in our economy. It also affords more people the opportunity to work as those currently in employment may choose to only work part time.It will also help to make the business world subservient to society.
Debate: Is Basic Income a Human Right??
Side: Yes!

Full time jobs should give a living wage, or the government has to step in. This leads to increased borrowing and the country could get itself in debt. I think people should be able to live off their wage.
Debate: Is Basic Income a Human Right??
Side: Yes!

Yes
Debate: Is Basic Income a Human Right??
Side: Yes!

Yeah. That is why people even follow the laws set by the government. Why should I follow laws if I don't even have the ability to feed myself? Why can't I take from you?There are promises made by society in exchange for following the rules and doing certain things. For one, if I get an education and do well in school, I should earn more than the average non-educated person and get employed. If I don't rape, murder and kill, I should be offered opportunities.I shouldn't be judged on the basis or race, sex, or looks when it comes to employment. The minute that breaks down, you have no right to tell me to do anything.Fuck your laws, ethics and safety. If you don't care about me, I do not owe you anything.
Debate: Is Basic Income a Human Right??
Side: No...

"Why should I follow laws if I don't even have the ability to feed myself?"I assume that you mean that the government should pay you money to live just so that you can follow their laws? That would surely only be the case if you were unemployed and therefore a complete drain on the economy and waste of space. Well then, why should you be given the money to feed yourself if you don't even give anything back to the economy?"There are promises made by society in exchange for following the rules and doing certain things"Yes there are. You are expected to follow the rules and to contribute to society. This contribution should largely be in the form of work. However if you do not work then the exchange completely breaks down and there is therefore no reason whatsoever that the government should supply a basic income for you. "Fuck your laws, ethics and safety. If you don't care about me, I do not owe you anything"But surely if you do not care about them, then they do not owe you anything either? And the only reason that you would require a minimum wage is because you do not care about society and therefore have not given anything to them in the form of work.
Debate: Is Basic Income a Human Right??
Side: Yes!

I am looking at things from the perspective of someone that is trying to get a job but cannot. They only give you welfare if you have less than $600 in your bank account. That isn't even enough for rent and food for a week.

Side: Yes!

an adequate standard of living, including adequate food, clothing and housing, and the "continuous improvement of living conditions" (Article 11);wikipedia.org/wiki/InternationalCovenantonEconomic,SocialandCultural_RightsHow to do this in a monetary system?Welcome to the machines... :°)
Debate: Is Basic Income a Human Right??
Side: Yes!

A basic income is too expensive. What? Think of all the money spent on buildings, electricity, wages, training and education for the, O, so many people who are unnecessarily employed to provide a gate keeping function, payed to keep people down in their sickedness, instead of aiding, supporting and abetting those who just want to get on with their lives.A basic income is parasittic.What? Alcohol is killing my father, not me not working, though that's not certainly not helping. No, yeah, OK a little, but so is government, so is banking, so is most business, so is the welfare state many of us already have... The devil's in the details. I say we cut the force, fraud and coercion down to a minimum and pool our resources voluntarily, wholly independent of the cyclicos in governance who busted things up so badly last time around.A basic income demotivates from work.What? Where do you see well fed, care free, aimed, exploring and curious men sit on their asses all day long? Not the common denominator? No, that's right - because people like you insist we can't ever change, so we don't. Yeah, yew. Stay that way and we'll never know, I dare you (sounds much better than threaten, don't you think?).
Debate: Is Basic Income a Human Right??
Side: Yes!

YES!Because is the only way we can be sure we end poverty. And above all, because it's fair that governments guaranty life to everybody. what is not fair is that governments guarantee the life of banks and cooperation's, weapon markets, etc...We all have to rise up for people our soon there will be no people left. Basic Income for all now!!!
Debate: Is Basic Income a Human Right??
Side: Yes!

People who work hard deserve a decent wage. So, basic income would be a valid human right.
Debate: Is Basic Income a Human Right??
Side: No...

No, there are a number of reasons why it would be a bad idea to ensure basic incomes to everyone as a right,1) if this would be applied to the unemployed, it would create a lack of motivation to join the labor force.2) this would cause an increase in the price level, which would make it difficult for "livable wages" to stay at a constant t amount for any period of time3) previous applications to enforcing businesses to use a minimum wage have shown they was willing to simply hire less workers and use them more efficiently.
Debate: Is Basic Income a Human Right??
Side: Yes!

This scenario has been used in Europe, and a Provence in Canada with a great level of success. Motivation was decreased by less than 2%. Your secondary, claim holds more truth though, but only in a capitalist economy. Your tirshary claim is incorrect, however. In a capitalist economy, it is a rule of thumb that employers need to hire more people in order to increase surplus value.
Debate: Is Basic Income a Human Right??
Side: Yes!

You were right about the video. I'll admit i started watching it ready to start ripping it up at it's foundation, but whoever put it together did a very good job. While i am still unsure whether or not the idea of "basic income as a human right" would be a good idea, i would be more willing to listen the proposal.I am going to send this to my economics professor and get his take on it as well.
Debate: Is Basic Income a Human Right??
Side: Yes!

1. Basic income eliminates poverty traps in the welfare system anyone who works will be better off.2.That's like arguing that we should keep people poor because prices will go up. Apart from that, if you are poor you will spend your basic income on better food, healthcare, luxuries and debt reduction. The impact on inflation will be small and in modern economies increased demand usually leads to increased supply3. This isn't a minimum wage.This is a dividend from the government to all rich or poor alike. You could abolish the minimum wage and rely of free market economics to find the right level of pay if you really wanted
Debate: Is Basic Income a Human Right??
Side: No...

No, income is involves trade, and he is only from selling a good or service or labor. What would be basic income anyway? It would be some arbitrary number anyway. Market forces determine income, this is what motivates people, it is to meet the demand of consumers.
Debate: Is Basic Income a Human Right??
Side: Yes!

In a society with massive levels of economic inequality, like the US, the economy is NOT meeting the needs of the people. It meets the need of whoever has money to spend, which is only the rich. If you want the economy to meet the needs of the people, you have to give all the people a more equal share of money to spend in the economy -- which is one of the reasons a Basic Income is important. I helps the economy actually take care of the people, instead of just taking care of the rich.
Debate: Is Basic Income a Human Right??
Side: Yes!

You ask "what would a basic income be?"It a fair share of the economic wealth of the society we live in. No human created this planet, or all it's natural resources, but yet, our corporations claim ownership of them, and make money off the planet's resources, without any obligation to share that wealth. A Basic Income can be understood as a fare share of the wealth of the planet the belongs to all of us equally, but being exploited by others.In addition, our society only works, because the people agree to follow the laws of the society. When a person is not given a fair opportunity to share in the wealth of the society, they will become angered, and if too unfairly treated, they will revolt. A Basic Income is the fair share of the wealth of society, people are paid for agreeing to follow the laws of the land -- for being good citizens.In addition, we have a social problem to solve. That problem is growing wealth and income inequality being created by technology. This is not a problem created by any single individual. Or any "bad" law. It's a relative new problem for society in the level of inequality all our advanced technology is creating. Society can not survive, if inequality gets too larger. We much share more, and hoard less, or else the poor will rise up and revolt and our society will be lost. A Basic Income is the fix to technological inequality. It's the people's share, of the wealth being created by technology.You ask how it will be determined? It should be set as large as possible, but not so large, that it hurts economic growth. The goal is to create the most equal society possible, without losing the capitalistic motivation of profit. The more equal a society is, the safer, and the more happy the people are.

Although you and I are both communist/socialist at heart. I am of the Anarchist type whereby I don't believe in inherent rights; only logical privileges that better us overall.
Debate: Is Basic Income a Human Right??
Side: No...

No. Human rights are labeled as things we are ensured to be given, or not taken from us from birth.♦Right to bare arms.♦Freedom of expression.♦Pursuit of happiness.Yet we are not born with income, we are however born with the right to get it.So no, income is not a human right, the right to acquire it is.
Debate: Is Basic Income a Human Right??
Side: No...

Obviously it would be wonderful if everyone could just earn and do nothing - but in the real world that isn't how it works. Basic income and benefits should be allowed for people who deserve them. However simply being a drain on the resources of a country in on a par, in a small way, of declaring war on the country.
Debate: Is Basic Income a Human Right??

No
Debate: Is Basic Income a Human Right??
Side: No...

No. Basic income is not a human right. If the right to live and not be murdered by your mother before you are born is not a basic human right? Nothing else that follows is a human right either.
Debate: Is Basic Income a Human Right??
Side: No...

I first thought Basic Income was a good idea, however we stick to a monetary based system with deeply ingrained habits: greed, possession, social recognition, therefore craving and suffering. Let's just offer a roof, food, health, education, services for All instead, in other words, proper living conditions. This is, to me, Human Right, not money. This is no utopia as this can practically be achieved easily for all, and worldwide. But it demands we, especially in leading economic countries where we are so addicted to money, change ourselves to evolve to a new framework. "No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it." - Albert Einstein
Debate: Is Basic Income a Human Right??
Side: Yes!

Guile Wrote: Let's just offer a roof, food, health, education, services for All insteadThat's a very paternalistic view and will lead to waste and corruption. The only person who knows what they need is the benefit recipient. Give them the money and they will ensure that their needs are met. Yes there will be some people who squander it. But what this the point of having food stamps if what you really need is a bus fare to a job across town. Give them the money and they will exchange it for what they need the most
Debate: Teens and Jobs
Side: agree

I've worked since I was twelve. Jobs are good! Jobs build character and teach you how to interact with people and they give you money! Some of my more well-off friends (for example, one who receives $200/week from her parents while she's at college and who is also in the process of installing a $100,000 pool) have never held a job and can't talk to people up to the point where they can't get on the phone to order a pizza.Work! Work! Work!

Wow my thoughts exactly, before I got a job at the grocery store I was pretty shy. I still am, but sense I have had a job, I am less shy. I have to greet every customer in the store that walks by me. I have learned a lot from having a job and also saved a lot.
Debate: Teens and Jobs
Side: agree

I agree that teens should start working as soon as they legally can, at 16, usually. In most cases, some parents start teaching them the value or working for money a lot younger by giving them an allowance every week if they keep up with certain chores.However, you can't blame the fact that 40 yr olds are working in cash registers or whatever simply because they possibly didn't work at a younger age. It could be a number of factors that caused someone to not be able to get a degree beyond high school to get a higher job. I don't care how many people say getting the degree for a higher job is worthless; in reality, and in the majority of cases, you NEED a degree if you want a better job. Alas, if a 40 yr old is doing something as crappy as fast food work, then at LEAST they are working and taking responsibility for their family. Not everyone gets the luxury or benefits to go through 4 yrs of college for a BA, for a better life.

Yes! In fact I've been job searching recently and I have an "interview" with abercrombie on Friday, but it's a "group interview", so it doesn't look very professional. :)But the thing that kills me is that you have to be 18 to work most places. For example, I went to the Gap, which is hiring near me, but they can't take me because I'm 18 in less than a month. That means that I can't get a job there, even though I have a high school diploma, experience in working, great references, and a good attitude/personality. But some bimbo can work there even if she dropped out of high school or is failing it now, has no experience whatsoever, lousy references, and a bad attitude. Of course, she might not get the job either, but at least she has a shot and a better chance than I do... hypothetical situation, of course.

yes,the young should have part-time job.with a part-time job,they can support themselves and know how the money come and they will have a good plan to spend it.they can also get some abilities with the job.it will improve their ability of communication and adaption.
Debate: Teens and Jobs
Side: agree

I started to work at a very young age since both my parents were in business so I can agree that it's wise to start whenever the government allows you to. I don't know if 'working papers' are still necessary but I had mine when I came of age. I worked two jobs after school and never saved a dime! You know a young girl must have what she wants or all hell breaks loose!
Debate: Teens and Jobs
Side: agree

In the sense that while in school you learn a bunch of stuff but are never told how this will help you get a job. I mean, what the fuck?! >:( I hate it when the government forces me to learn stuff that they refuse to tell me what I will be qualified to do once I learn this stuff! If they tell us right off the bat what this information will be used for, then we can chose to learn information for what is applicable to what we want to do in life. So yes, teens should be encouraged to get jobs, but through school! They should be told that what they are learning in school can be applied to a future job in whatever it is the information applies to!

I don't believe they should be working to get that crappy job over with, but it is a good way for students to learn how to manage their time, money, and develop relationships outside of their family and school. It amazes me when I meet someone who has graduated from high school and has never had a job.

I don't think that is exactly how it works (Saving money so you can get it over with and not having crappy jobs when you get older) but ANYWAY! Jobs are good, they give the teens spending money and teaches them about the "real world"
Debate: Teens and Jobs
Side: Agree

Yes, students should have jobs at 16. first, i think it's great because family need help. why family need help because when they want to pay something or they want to pay the bill or the houes to pay it. They can buy their own stuff well can buy their own stuff like their own shoes or clothes. They can be responsible. They can be responsible in life and with their money. In cnclusion,kids should get jobs.

Debate: Teens and Jobs

In my view, I would recommend teenagers to do part time job along with studies and must do savings and investment. Back to those days when I was a teen, I use to do marketing for custom wristband lanyard. I made a pretty much savings which helped me a lot to do business on my own.

1) Teenagers already have full-time jobs, education. The old saying "less learning, more earning" doesn't apply here. In the province of Ontario (just as an example) many post-secondary scholarships are offered for provincial standard or higher level marks. The harder you work at your full-time job, the better off for any post-secondary.2) Post-secondary;a) Has beneficial Co-op placements, meaning you study and work for an employer. You gain both knowledge and insight into the academic community and the current working environments related to your field of study (if you so choose).b) Leads to far better jobs in the future. Now I'm not talking about anomalies, but the majority of the middle class is educated to some degree at a post secondary institution.

Plenty of time for parties drinking video games. Most students don't choose the full-time-homework rout. They can't learn everything in the classroom.

I feel that even as a teenager you can have a decent job. Look at me: I'm 16, a full-time lifeguard over the summer break and work part-time during the school year. I also give swim lessons and guard at private pool parties. I mean, I agree that teens should be encouraged to work, but not at crappy jobs. Give them opportunities to get good jobs as a teenager so that they can see that the further they persue their education the better their job choices are.

three things1. many teens start by getting a paper round and then start working.2.teens maybe in college/university so are concentrating on their studies.3.as many adults do say they want to hang on to their childhood and you will lose this when you get a job.
Debate: Teens and Jobs
Side: Disagree

As someone said earlier, educations is the job of teens. It would be really hard to work somewhere and keep your marks at a high level at college. They would miss lectures and so on. My position is clear: finish your college or university and then find a job and work till the rest of your life.
Debate: Teens and Jobs
Side: Disagree

I disagree with the statement that teens who study at the university should work. In my country it is better to finish the university first and after it to have some practice at work. I think that people who spends time for earning money cannot study properly they lose their time for getting and learning new useful information.

Yes. Sometimes employers are out of touch with the real world and they need ideas as to which drugs are popular at a given time and thus, which drugs to try next ;)

I'm not really for or against this. It simply comes down to the specifics of the situation and those specifics determine if it's a good idea or not..
Debate: Pre-employment Drug Testing
Side: For it

Employers hire people to work for them. They hire people based on how much the company gets in return for a salary. Over time drugs affect how well a person can work, a drug test prior to employment decreases the risk taken by the employer.

It is good because than you know if you're hiring a druggie or a more reliable worker.
Debate: Pre-employment Drug Testing
Side: Against it

No, what someone does outside of their job shouldn't matter, obviously you shouldn't show up to work under the influence of any drug but someone shouldn't be turned away from a job cause they use a certain substance.
