Monotheism Reduces to Monism.
I will be arguing for a somewhat unintuitive proposition and b/c of this i am positive that many people will vote against me without fully reading my arguments. I ask anyone voting to please read the debate carefully. There are two ways of persuading an individual; -Emotive Cajoling -Logical Reasoning (since this topic has elicited confusion on this site in the past i will provide this link to clarify the meaning of Logic. http://philosophy.hku.hk/think/logic/whatislogic.php) Emotive C...
reagan was a bad president
so i'm questioning the conventional wisdom that regean was such a great president. the national debt went up substantially, starting with him, exponentially. now, we have the debt going up two million dollars a minute, and the everyone paying a fifth of their taxes to interest only, nothing really, and the average person is born with 30k in debt. he wanted to spend less, but whatever the case, his tax cuts costed us this, given that spending less wasn't going to happen. it's a fundamental...

There will be a more peaceful world if America actively maintains it's hegemony
Ever since the fall of the Soviet Union, the United States has been the preeminent superpower.

Moreover, the United States is actively working against countries such as Iran and Venez...
