Yes, because he doesn't spell that means his argument has no validity. I noticed how you didn't argue against his points. Instead you chose to sneer at his spelling.
Ythereum, Aghrabia, Aldaur, Yukona
You can't just tell people they are wrong without offering any evidence or reason why their wrong. All you are doing is scoffing at what he said and then backing out from the argument. It is really quite rude.
What is considered right wing changes over time, however, I would say that I am an advocate for strengthening the constitution and the republican form of government. I believe that private property and the ability to defend it is essential to individual liberty. I believe that we should make people responsible for themselves and teach them to care for others. I believe in an ethical form of capitalism and a largely decentralized government so that power is closer to the people. As an example, I am a big fan of making municipal elections more important and exciting in people's communities since they can more directly control their communities. I am also pro-allowing people to choose where their tax money goes (for the most part). I believe that the government should be small, but active and strong. The role of the state should be to create a sound legal framework within the economy and society for things to develop in a safe and fair way. I believe in having more frequent referendums to enact the people's will.
Tl;dr? I essentially want things that promote individual liberty, as well as protect life, property and constitutional rights.

The first trimester is 3 months. See, I am fine with it before that because I am really concerned about the pain a baby feels after that point. It's not that I just want to arbitrarily restrict someone's ability to do something. I consider myself pro-life because innocent life is something I want to protect. I don't consider it having personhood until after the first trimester.
I think 3 months is reasonable.
So long as you support appropriate taxation to fund the care system that will be needed to look after any unwanted children give up after birth. Too many right-wingers bang on about preserving the life of the unborn and then when the baby is born, demand that taxes be cut so that the baby doesn't get the care it needs.
Once the baby is born, the majority of right-wingers don't seem to give a sh!t about it. Unless it joins the army when it's older or becomes a criminal, then they forget about the sanctity of life and want the now grown-up baby fried on the electric chair.

My friend from college is dyslexic but is highly intelligent. Just because a person doesn't spell well does not make them stupid. Einstein was also dyslexic but I wouldn't say his level of intellect was low.
Aghrabia, Aldaur, Penguania And Antarctica, Magnatronia
In actuality, you could have thrown the argument that that was anecdotal at best and go from there that you didn't buy it.
Instead, you just insulted his intellect based on spelling which you yourself seem to have a problem with, and simply threw out anything you said. You could have done what I said above with the exact same result, and still come across as a decent argument. Instead you jumped ad hominem. Just saying, multiple ways you could have went there, and you chose the worst one.

Oh, good. Screw those guys lol

yeah sorry I meant 8th it was a mistake
Mate, I'm in no more agreement with the other dude than you, but I agree with the others that you made a bad argument (though, I may be biased since 90% of new debate partners on the RMB tend to make that their case against me) against the dude.
I recommend just taking five minutes to sit back, these types of conversations always pass.
Aghrabia, Oelesa
Absolutely. Childcare is very important. We need to be investing in the futures of every young mind. My mom went through the foster system when she first came here, so I know how horrible it can be and it is really quite unacceptable. I'd much rather turn all orphanages into boarding schools that give them a government job as soon as they get out in order to compensate for their saddened life. Adoption should also be free for those who past background checks.
I am also against the death penalty with the exception of treason and crime leaders. I prefer confinement and rehabilitation. The reason why I make an exception is because the execution has more to do with the security of the state rather than a punishment for a crime. If we really want to punish people, solitary confinement is worse. However, I support the Biosocial criminological theory, and thus believe that we can fix criminal behavior (mainly violent).
I'm on my phone and I'd say I am usually pretty good at catching typos. Being from South Jersey doesn't excuse anything. Proper spelling should be continental in the least, but is really quite world wide.

Oh, and just thought I'd put this out there, when I say targeter drone (S1-21) honestly mean like, a small quad-copter, the kind we have now, that just follows them around, has enough processing power not to get shot, and gives them a video feed of everything it see's. It's basically a military-adapted version of those follow-me-drones you can buy on Amazon for $25.99
I don't mean a friggen' deus ex aerial robot with missiles and other fun weapons. Just so you know...Oh and when I say armor, I mean like, hardened plastics and ballistic ceramic plating, not magical steel that negates all damage because magic science fwaaaaaaa

OY! MAGS, no cybernetics bro! this is happening a few months after the Khutongia incident, You did not jump 80 years into the future! Actually quit it boi
So is it excusable for me to spell the world "confuse" as "koonfuza" and say that it is because I am from Northern Oregon? You don't need to answer that because it was rhetorical. No, it is not excusable. Please do not butcher the Queen's English. It only makes you seem uneducated, which you are not.
Because like most people in the world, the left included, they don't take the time to study various beliefs on their own time and constantly reassess their beliefs so that they can be held up to scrutiny. I am also willing to admit when I am wrong. For example, when speaking of my New Homestead Act, someone (I apologize, I can't remember who atm) brought up the point that small plots of land would not be used to sustain a person and would instead be a bonus. I still believe in the core concept of giving people land for self sustainability, but I have to take that very constructive criticism into consideration now as I figure how to fix that problem. It is only good personal policy.

This is just horrendous. When I see things like this, it makes me want to support the death penalty put of a knee jerk reaction. I still don't, but punishment needs to be swift.

Mouth hanging open here. I am against the death penalty too but I know what you mean. Scum like that needs to be eradicated from the gene pool.

The guy in the video was sentenced to 30 years. However, before this incident, he had 43 prior felonies. This is just utterly ridiculous that we would let someone out like that.
Our high recidivism rates is the greatest failure of our criminal justice system. Something isn't working. Let's fix it. People should be detained until they are safe for society. They also shouldn't sentence people to specific years. The sentence should be, you're in for as long as it takes to make you better. Detention and rehabilitation are the answers.
Nuremgard
See Norway's prison system for reference. I know it looks light-touch but it produces the lowest re-offending rates in the world.

Nuremgard, Aldaur
I'm not sure if indefinite detention is the answer, at least not without strong rehabilitation and skills training programs. Also, making it easier for former prisoners to re-integrate back into society would go a long way, since former felons often can't get a job and government benefits, so going back to crime is their only option.

Germany/Europe leading the way yet again.
Jaslandia, Aghrabia, Aldaur, Penguania And Antarctica
Well, the situation is quite a bit different though. Norway is a sparsely populated homogeneous nation. The US is very populated with diverse groups, some of whom have a culture of violence and criminality that has formed as a result of poverty and discrimination, as well as a lack of communal effort. We cannot afford to have open prisons like they do in Scandinavia. American rehabilitation would still be very confined, but it would focus on rehabilitative programs, as well as altering criminal's biological make up through the ingestion of Omega 3. Hopefully that will reduce recidivism. Biosocial rehabilitation behind prison bars (to protect society from them until they are rehabilitated).
Seems we have to show the New World how things work :P
Jaslandia, Aghrabia

Yeah, that could be a problem. If the ingestion is forced, then I'm pretty sure that violates human rights, specifically in regards to human experimentation.
Aghrabia, Penguania And Antarctica

Just put it in their food. It is literally harmless to them and stimulates the part of the brain that allows for one to control violent actions. Human rights is an international recommendation, not law. Also, as prisoners, they lose many of their own constitutional rights. So legally, there is no problem. It also isn't human experimentation, but tested biological rehabilitation. We aren't trying new things on people.
I'm not sure what you've been reading...but I find absolutely nothing whatsoever to support the claim that Fish Oil is the magical additive to remove crime from someone.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omega-3_fatty_acid#History
This sounds like the new "Salt Peter kills libido, that's why the US keeps it in the Army" myth.
Aghrabia, Aldaur
It is only indefinite if they are still deemed dangerous. I absolutely agree that rehabilitation is the answer and so is reintegration, which is why to end recidivism, we must put in extra long term investments and create phases.
First phase, catch the criminal.
Second phase, public trial and conviction.
Third phase, punishment (Something immediate so as to associate with the crime they did).
Fourth phase, imprisonment and biological rehabilitation (fish oil).
Fifth phase, social rehabilitation (move them to a more open prison but that is far away from regular society).
Sixth phase, evaluation (seeing if they are rehabilitated enough to be safe for reintegration. If not, they go back to a previous phase).
Seventh phase, reintegration part 1 (bring them closer to regular society and have them work with and live with other rehabilitated convicts so they can navigate society together under supervision of a rehabilitation officer).
Eighth phase, reintegration part 2 (still living with other rehabilitated convicts, the person will now get a normal job amongst regular citizens rather than working with other convicts).
Nineth phase, community parole (live and work amongst normal civilians and be checked on by a parole officer, as well as being obligated to join communal activities and make new friends in a positive environment).
Tenth phase, repentance (issue apologies to those they have hurt, convene with friends and family to show support for person).
Once all 10 phases are complete, they are to be completely released. Also, repeal all laws that make past convicts state their criminal history, bar them from social services and loans for education, etc. This process is long and arduous, but this is the best way to do rehabilitation in my opinion. Also, increase diversion programs for low level non-violent offenders.
Aghrabia
It is from my Theories of Criminal Justice class when we went over Biosocial Theory. They took 14 thousand MRI scans of violent criminals and compared them to non-violent criminals and normal people and found that violent criminals had a part of the brain not functioning properly. It was the part of the brain that regulated violent and emotionless behavior. They found that Omega 3 stimulates that part of the brain, causing growth and allowing people to regulate their actions. They tested it by going to a prison known for it's inmate violence levels (both against officers and other inmates, as well as the crimes committed that got them landed in there), and they put fish oil (which has omega 3 in it) in their food unknowingly. Within a month, the prisoners were acting normal and there were no reports of violent behavior after that. It is still in the early stages of research, but that is pretty amazing to me and I believe we can cure violent behavior.
Yeah, repectfully, I'll wait to see somemore research on that.
We also found the secret to cold fusion, the Scientists just couldn't replicate the findings ;P
Aghrabia, Aldaur
That's fine if you want to wait, but I am convinced. Either way, having them ingest fish oil isn't that big of a deal. It is not like it is some nazi science or something haha Most of the other phases have to do with psychology and environmental factors anyway.
my dad takes fish oil every day and he has never been in jail. coincidence? hahaha
whos we?

Prolly because the claim happened in 1989 and got thrashed almost instantly.
The Scientists had applied for funding from the USDoE, One worked at the University of Utah and it's unlikely that Britain really would have snubbed the US by refusing to work with us -The other scientist worked for the University of Southampton- and all of this happened at the very last moments of the Soviet Union.
So yeah, pretty likely the United States of America would be credited as the nation to produce it, or at least would buy the rights for it since no other real power was out there that could take the US on in a bidding war.

Well, it seems like there's been a bit of fanfiction around here recently, so maybe I'll jump in. If I were to write some little stories about the escapades and mishaps on my railway, would you all read them? They'd star myself, Percy, and many of the other engines on Varrick Rail.

But in the world of the unionist, so long as English people in London are calling the shots on Scotland's behalf, everything is rosy in the garden.
