Debate: Should we be taxed to help society? Or, keep the money we earn?
Side: No, keep money earned.

It may be your money, but we need to pay taxes because without it we would not have this good of education. Our police officers, the military, and fireman would not get payed like they are supposed to and those are the people that protect you.
Debate: Should we be taxed to help society? Or, keep the money we earn?
Side: Yes, we should be taxed.

I disagree because if there is no money going towards the improvement of roads or money to pay figherfighters the economy will never advance.
Debate: Should we be taxed to help society? Or, keep the money we earn?
Side: No, keep money earned.

I disagree with your statement because it does go towards roads. And my uncle is a firefighter and he does get money from tax dollars. If our taxes did not go towards roads and improving them then how are they getting fixed, because there is business that goes around fixing roads for free. The taxpayers are paying for roads and schools and education for children.https://frontiergroup.org/reports/fg/who-pays-roads
Debate: Should we be taxed to help society? Or, keep the money we earn?
Side: Yes, we should be taxed.

Weeezy in the bulding babyyyyy, c'mon "daddy_kam" do you not want to help brotha out, we all need to drink lean and some baaaabyyyy. Weeezy out throws the piece sign
Debate: Should we be taxed to help society? Or, keep the money we earn?
Side: No, keep money earned.

I disagree with you because you don’t even have a good cause. Maybe you should hit the books bro
Debate: Should we be taxed to help society? Or, keep the money we earn?
Side: Yes, we should be taxed.

I disagree with this. If there is no money being put into the safety of U.S citizens, safe roads for instance, then someone who gets in a wreck will end up spending more money and maybe even their life.
Debate: Should we be taxed to help society? Or, keep the money we earn?
Side: Yes, we should be taxed.

Without taxes, there wouldn't be a road for you to drive on or a school for you to go to. Taxes pay for things that you use every single day. If we didn't pay taxes our world would be completely different.
Debate: Should we be taxed to help society? Or, keep the money we earn?
Side: Yes, we should be taxed.

I disagree because our taxes are used toward our welfare and protection. Taxes provide roads, public school teachers, and policemen, as well as many other things.
Debate: Should we be taxed to help society? Or, keep the money we earn?
Side: Yes, we should be taxed.

I disagree, taxes ensure that we have money available for anything that happens in a community. Taxes are necessarily for a community to function. The money that comes from taxes is used to maintain roads, hospitals, etc. Taking taxes creates a steady income for the government to spend on us.
Debate: Should we be taxed to help society? Or, keep the money we earn?
Side: No, keep money earned.

I disagree with this article you have to give back to the community that you live in for more money for the roads and more money for medicine for cancer research. The extra money so called taxed make all that money for the medicine and more momey for the people in the military and the people that serve that country.
Debate: Should we be taxed to help society? Or, keep the money we earn?
Side: Yes, we should be taxed.

I disagree, because taxes do a lot more for our well being than just providing national defense. They help create a nicer and more well-developed environment for us to live in.
Debate: Should we give 2nd chances?
Side: Yes

I will give Dana a second chance, but she will be given very little latitude to step out of bounds! No drama, no CD slamming, just good old fashioned argumentation.
Debate: Should we give 2nd chances?
Side: Yes

ABSOLUTELY
Debate: Should we give 2nd chances?
Side: No

With all due respect Andy, all of the above is freedom, unless she makes personal threats to a members well being I personally think all is fair game, even talking shit on Createdebate, isn't that the American way Andy?Yes I know some members are not American but you are and you of anyone should uphold that because if we start to censer members then we become North-Korea-Createdebtate.com not Createdebate.com.Dana has broken no CD laws unless you count pissing people off against the CD law, your call bro you are the CD President & Constitution so it's up to you on what type of Country/Site you want to run. freedom or censorship.
Debate: Should we give 2nd chances?
Side: No

You Papi, are a real man with integrity. Thank you. ;)
Debate: Should we give 2nd chances?
Side: Yes

Sure give her a second chance. No 3rd chance though.If she can't hold up to her word(which I doubt she can hold up to it), then simply ban her again.
Debate: Should we give 2nd chances?
Side: Yes

I have to agree! I will share this with her.
Debate: Should we give 2nd chances?
Side: No

But this is her 3rd chance isn't it? Didn't you 'suggest' she took a weeks break? And if we were to include all the times she had done something bad and then asked for your forgiven I presume that this would be more like the 22nd chance?
Debate: Should we give 2nd chances?
Side: No

My thoughts exactly.
Debate: Should we give 2nd chances?
Side: Yes

she should not get a third chance....... not even if she starts crying for it..
Debate: Should we give 2nd chances?
Side: Yes

BRILLIANT! WELL SAID!
Debate: Should we give 2nd chances?
Side: Yes

I think so when she can keep herself in check she can come up with some good debates if she keeps her drama in check shouldn't be a problem and the drama is a two way street she was given a lot of crap just before her previous ban, I honestly don't know if it was in retaliation for something she said but if everyone gets involved in drama and abusing other members should they not all deserve the same punishment?
Debate: Should we give 2nd chances?
Side: Yes

ALWAYS AND FOREVER!
Debate: Should we give 2nd chances?
Side: Yes

I think Dana is cool (I know not everyone agrees but this is my opinion) and also I think everyone no matter what and no matter the circumstance deserves a 2nd chance.
Debate: Should we give 2nd chances?
Side: No

i don't mind giving a second chance, but this is what? like the 100th chance now? she needs to realise her mistake before she apologises. she just says sorry when she thinks arguing is not worth her time. she doesn't say she's sorry because she really is, she says it because she's bored or tired. which is why i think she repeats her faults over and over again.
Debate: Should we give 2nd chances?
Side: Yes

Yes we should. I don't even understand why she was banned in the first place. If you guys hadn't attacked her at every moment you saw (you know who you are), she would be all right. I still don't understand what you had against her but it was unfair and cruel of you guys (again you know who you are). Let her back in and lets actually get to some serious debating, and not attack.
Debate: Should we give 2nd chances?
Side: No

So what you are saying is... when Dana attacks people for disagreeing with her and they fight back, she's the victim?
Debate: Should we give 2nd chances?
Side: Yes

Wasn't saying she was the victim at all, I'm not even saying that she never attacked others. My problem is that people all complained about that, yet they all did it themselves. So basically they've all sunk to very same level they complained about.
Debate: Should we give 2nd chances?
Side: No

What you're failing to understand is that she always started it. I made a debate about all that "debate stealing" and Dana immediately started blaming others so I banned her... I didn't call her any names, I just said she was banned. So what did Dana do? She went on a rampage... calling me an alcoholic, amongst other names, then when RavenLily and Hannah tried to defend me she called RL a cunt and attacked Hannah. I will not stand for 14 year olds to be attacked or women being called cunts or completely false accusations about me to be posted all over the site. I will fight back and defend myself and if you think that's means "we've sunk to the very same level"... then so be it.
Debate: Should we give 2nd chances?
Side: No

You don't think Dana brought this on herself? You think everyone on this site decided to pick on one user for no reason? I can't speak from everyones perspective, but I'll tell you mine. The first time I realized Dana was trouble, is when she kept banning me because she didn't like my opinion. That was obviously annoying... but then she started repeating herself in every argument, offering nothing to the debates. I witnessed users try and have a civilized debate with her, but she ended up offended EVERY time, which usually resulted in her saying either "judge not lest you be judged" or "leave me alone", over and over again, even when people were trying to calm her down. Then I noticed how angry she could get. She threatened to send thugs after a user, threatened to personally kill a user, and then threatened to kill herself. Andy warned her multiple times to stop and she always returned back to her normal ways after a day or so. I don't know if you were around to witness the Pre-Dana days on CD, but they were nice.
Debate: Should we give 2nd chances?
Side: Yes

pick on one user for no reason?So you are right here admitting that people picked on her? Because most people did. Many reasons as well I've seen. Because they think she's wrong and her opinion was stupid. Because she gets angry. Because at times she may have attacked others, yet everyone decided to do it back to her which makes you sink to that level you dislike. "leave me alone"And you never did, did you? You kept pushing her and pushing her, some had the decency to back off but a select few just kept pushing her. I'm not saying she didn't push herself a bit, but you had the power to back off yourselves.  I don't know if you were around to witness the Pre-Dana days on CD, but they were nice. I've been here for 544 days I've seen the "pre-dana days". I only ever met her when she supposedly came back to the site after a long break everyone seemed to like then, then everyone hated her.
Debate: Should we give 2nd chances?
Side: No

I only ever met her when she supposedly came back to the site after a long break everyone seemed to like then, then everyone hated her.Wait? Are you saying everyone liked her before her long break? Because if so that's not true. She was exactly the same the first time around and that's why she left... because just like now she was always playing the victim and no one could stand her. I've known Dana via the internet longer than any of you... on SodaHead.com and on FaceBook and she gets the same exact reaction from people everywhere she goes.
Debate: Should we give 2nd chances?
Side: Yes

You do realize that she has been banned from multiple websites, not just CD... right?
Debate: Should we give 2nd chances?
Side: No

So you are right here admitting that people picked on her? Because most people did. Many reasons as well I've seen. Because they think she's wrong and her opinion was stupid. Because she gets angry. Because at times she may have attacked others, yet everyone decided to do it back to her which makes you sink to that level you dislike.Not necessarily. You suggested that people were picking on her. I was just trying to point out the flaw in your argument.And you never did, did you? You kept pushing her and pushing her, some had the decency to back off but a select few just kept pushing her. I'm not saying she didn't push herself a bit, but you had the power to back off yourselves.This is a DEBATE site. We are here to argue. Did anyone threaten her? No. Did anyone else threaten to take their own lives? No. If someone takes a website that seriously, they shouldn't be on it in the first place.I've been here for 544 days I've seen the "pre-dana days". I only ever met her when she supposedly came back to the site after a long break everyone seemed to like then, then everyone hated her.My point is that CD was better when she wasn't on it.
Debate: Should we give 2nd chances?
Side: Yes

We have nothing to lose. At worst, we just ban her again
Debate: Should we give 2nd chances?
Side: Yes

VERY WELL DONE SIRE!!!
Debate: Should we give 2nd chances?
Side: Yes

Thanks
Debate: Should we give 2nd chances?
Side: Yes

Why not? .
Debate: Should we give 2nd chances?
Side: Yes

I agree that this site would probably be better off without Dana.However, one thing seems cruel to me: that is giving her a promise of a "second" chance, and then finally denying her that chance.This is my personal opinion, and I understand it might be caused by lack of information.To me this looks a lot like pardoning someone from capital punishment, only to tell them later that you've changed your mind.
Debate: Should we give 2nd chances?
Side: Yes

I OFFICIALLY DECLARE THIS POLL AS NOT RIGGED
Debate: Should we give 2nd chances?
Side: Yes

i think we should give her a 2nd chance only if she agrees to stop spreading bad things about createdebate and i don't want createdebate to close down...
Debate: Should we give 2nd chances?
Side: Yes

Let her back, yes she is crazy half the time, but we all are, yes she is emotional, but we all are, yes she has strong views but all do.I have learned to just let people be people, that's the American way, the good the bad and the Christian.. oops I mean ugly (see I did it) so yes let her back, after all I must admit it's fun to read the drama every now and then.
Debate: Should we give 2nd chances?
Side: Yes

I don't know her since I come on here to troll, but you should give her a second chance but make her walk on thin ice.
Debate: Should we give 2nd chances?
Side: Yes

I vote yes, because although I have no idea who Dana is, after doing a search on her name, it seems like you all won't have much to talk about if she's not here.
Debate: Should we give 2nd chances?
Side: Yes

I have to say on Dana's behalf that there are people who continue the drama themselves. And it isn't fair to put the entire blame on Dana when people continue fueling the fire. It is hypocritical in a way. And she wins a Snappy Award...as if her presence was actually worthy on Create Debate. I am not saying it is and im not saying it is not. But posting this debate makes it seem as to why she gotten an award in the first place. It is hypocritical.I think not only Dana needs to change her outlook, i think those who fuel the fire need to do so as well.
Debate: Should we give 2nd chances?
Side: Yes

I find it kinda disappointing that Andy has to read "It is her or me" kinda speeches. I mean, he gives out shirts and he pays for this site for us to debate on. If you don't want to speak or debate with Dana, it is really simple. Ignore her and BAN her. I am a troll and troll don't last long when people do not care.Don't let one user take you from this site. That is really absurd. And don't act like you guys haven't fueled the fire. I mean you freaking nominated her for an award. Just ban the woman from your debates guys. How freaking hard is that? And stop complaining...IT IS JUST ONE INTERNET WOMAN. Not like it is real life. The sooner you realize this and follow my instructions, the more easy it is to be on this site.
Debate: Should we give 2nd chances?
Side: Yes

I think everyone deserves a second chance, no excuses. But if she is not acting correctly for the third chance, she should be banned.
Debate: Should we give 2nd chances?
Side: Yes

Yes we should imo we should even give a 3rd chance but only in things that are right
Debate: Should we give 2nd chances?
Side: Yes

This debate is rigged. ;)
Debate: Should we give 2nd chances?
Side: Yes

Yes. .
Debate: Should we give 2nd chances?
Side: Yes

Of course she should come back. People make mistakes, and no matter how ridiculous and obnoxious they are, they can change for the better. And it's not like you're giving her 3rd, 4th, or 5th chances; just one more. She said she was sorry and that she would stop, so let's give her a chance to back up those words with actions.
Debate: Should we give 2nd chances?
Side: Yes

I think yes, we should give 2nd chance, because people make mistakes - It is normal. We learn only by own mistakes. But if it is repeated 3 times, it is repeated again. So in my point of view, we should forgive if it's happens 1st time
Debate: Should we give 2nd chances?
Side: No

Didn't you message Dana multiple times, warning her that she would be banned if she didn't stop the drama... and EVERY time she returned to her usual ways? Dana has mental issues, like REAL mental issues. She isn't going to permanently change, because she takes every argument offensively. I even tried coaching her once on how to relax and not take everything so personally. She took my advice for about an hour and then returned back to normal. In my opinion, she should have been permanently banned after she threatened to kill a user as well as herself. That almost seems like something the authorities should have been notified about.Maybe she attracts a lot of traffic, but if she really does change, then that won't be the case, right? Just an extra user who likes to post random shit, that usually isn't debatable.Maybe you're nicer than me, but I don't see how she is deserving of a second chance.
Debate: Should we give 2nd chances?
Side: Yes

Dana has converted to Satanism and therefore has been reborn and deserves a second chance because God no longer commands her. :)
Debate: Should we give 2nd chances?
Side: No

Ok, no second chances...she won't be allowed back!
Debate: Should we give 2nd chances?
Side: No

Alright! That's good news.
Debate: Should we give 2nd chances?
Side: Yes

Sorry Andy, but you are legally required to not be an asshole according to Prodigenious law.
Debate: Should we give 2nd chances?
Side: No

Unfortunately, Ismalia/DanaforYeshua/Sitara is the reason why I left. It is her or me.
Debate: Should we give 2nd chances?
Side: Yes

You point whore less than her. You are more dispensable from the site. Lawyers never lie.
Debate: Should we give 2nd chances?
Side: No

Second chance? That's a joke... How many times have you warned her in the past? How did her "self imposed" week long break work out? She doesn't deserve a second chance and to be honest, considering her mental state, she shouldn't even be allowed on a site like this. She's threatened to kill herself to get her way... what if she actually does it because of something that happens on this site? I have never asked for anyone to be banned... not even Prodigee. I thought his main account should be shut down because he was point farming with it, but I see no reason why he couldn't keep another account as long as he didn't point farm or spam. But Dana is the exception. She should've been banned long ago and I couldn't believe it took you this long but now you're allowing her to come back? Wow! This really is unbelievable. How many people are you going to let Dana chase off? I have always tried to back you (and this site) up publicly but I can't do it in this case... I'm very disappointed. Looks like I will be spending a lot less time around here.
Debate: Should we give 2nd chances?
Side: No

No offense Andy, but when you say "Ok, no second chances" that makes everyone out to be douche bags... I don't think any of us are against seconds chances, it's just that no one views this as a second chance, more like tenth.
Debate: Should we give 2nd chances?
Side: Yes

I didn't mean for it to sound like that. Just no more chances for her!
Debate: Should we give 2nd chances?
Side: Yes

Ok, no multiple chances....
Debate: Should we give 2nd chances?
Side: No

thats what i'm talking about! YAY! :D ok. maybe i shouldn't be all happy and stuff about this, but oh well. ._. .-.
Debate: Should we give 2nd chances?
Side: No

No, she shouldn't be allowed back. Her contribution to the site has been primarily harmful and she managed to transform this site from a debating arena to a personal message board.I'm sorry, but during her stay here the content of the site suffered an immense drop in quality - the first page was mostly flooded with trite, empty and annoying personal statements that had nothing to do with any particular topic. Those ''I wrote a poem'' or ''I'm a badass bitch'' or whatever type of topics are detrimental to a site that's supposedly dedicated to the exchange of worldviews. People come here for the sole reason of testing their views, policies and philosophies. They don't come here to socialize as in some other message board, because there are other places for that. Seeing these topics flooding the main page sends the message that this site isn't serious about debating, it may actually send the message that debating here isn't even the main focus.As long as this sort of content with questionable value is tolerated - this site will always live in the shadow of other debate sites such as debate.org, which take debating far more seriously and have a far stricter policy on what constiutes as garbage content. I'm not saying that you need to moderate the shit out of this place, i'm saying that clearly certain topics have nothing to do with actual debating and should be reserved for some other websites.It is clear that a lot of people have left this site or have assumed a very passive, lurking role. It's because they feel alienated, they feel that this site has been hijacked by people who use it as a platform to vent their personal issues. TLDR - This site can't grow any real credibility as long as it tolerates users such as Dana, whose only real contribution to this site is flooding it with garbage content that has no place in a site dedicated to debating.
Debate: Should we give 2nd chances?
Side: No

The thing is she has tried to be civil multiple times before it lasted only a few days before she was back to her old self.
Debate: Should we give 2nd chances?
Side: No

I agree, but do you think she is worthy of a second chance?
Debate: Should we give 2nd chances?
Side: No

Sure but I doubt it will last long.
Debate: Should we give 2nd chances?
Side: No

i didn't realize we were discussing Dana here. i don't know about her though. i think you've given her quite a few chances. the leader board actually seems normal now, with a lot more deserving people. i do believe in giving second chances, but i think Dana has had enough chances. just my opinion though. :/
Debate: Should we give 2nd chances?
Side: No

No I think that Dana shouldn't be given a second chance. She might promise now that she won't do those kinds of things but then later on she will do them. She even said she would leave for this site for a week and she never did. If you let her back on all I would see is the same Dana returning back to CreateDebate and others would see that to.
Debate: Should we give 2nd chances?
Side: No

Dang man, it took a lot for you to declare me as an enemy. If you want her gone, then it must be real bad.
Debate: Should we give 2nd chances?
Side: No

I don't want her on here because my words mean nothing to her. I have tried to help her and she just ignores my help. I have seen her debate with other people and she just doesn't listen to what other people say. And then she gets offended if you try to help her.
Debate: Should we give 2nd chances?
Side: Yes

My husband was right. Wow. What did I just sign up for? .
Debate: Should we give 2nd chances?
Side: No

Agreed. Aside from: I have seen her debate with other people and she just doesn't listen to what other people say.That pretty much describes everyone.
Debate: Should we give 2nd chances?
Side: No

She has told me she was going to change multiple times, but I believe that she is physically incapable of doing that due to her condition at present. I do not believe createdebate is healthy for her nor does it benefit from her presence. Maybe in the future we can give her another chance, but right now is too soon.
