Here I will post claims, opinions, etc. that you will have to "prove" otherwise using logic and/or material evidence.
Even if you agree with these, explore the opposite side. Please no dumbass answers.


1. Those who don't vote don't have a right to complain.

2. Women aren't people.

3. Hippies are ruining this planet with their soft talk of "love" and "non-violence".

4. Vegetarians are leading a useless effort to stop consumption of animals.

5. Presidents can win without the popular vote, and this is fair.

6. All of/most of the Bible is true.

I'll put this in Serious Discussion if the answers are serious enough. For now this is an experiment.

You want me to get shot, and yet the peace guy is your idol?

Sometimes I don't understand this world.



I guess that's why we're trying to destroy it.

"2. Women aren't people."

I stand on the firm negation of this resolution. First, I'd like to define the words given, courtesy of answers.com:

Women - Adult Human Female(s)
Aren't - Are not
People - Humans considered as a group or in indefinite numbers.

My first contention is that from these definitions, women are identified as humans, as well as people. Therefore, shouldn't they be one and the same? My second contention is that what makes a person human is a heartbeat and brainwaves. Last time I checked, both living men and women had them. Lastly, the resolution itself cannot be won from the affirmative side. It's absolutely impossible to disprove my aforementioned contentions.

I am now open for cross examination and points of clarification.

you're not a real man

Real - Being or occurring in fact or actuality; having verifiable existence
Man - An adult male human.

So, yes, you are correct. I am not an adult male human.

We've been through this before.  That's not really much of a counter against me.

Good point. I'll leave you to your life of loneliness.

But if I suck, I'm clearly not alone.
