Joseph Smith is a false prophet.

When a prophet speaks in the name of the Lord, if the thing does not come about or come true, that is the thing which the Lord has not spoken. The prophet has spoken it presumptuously; you shall not be afraid of him," (Deut. 18:20-22). Being a Christian, this excerpt from the bible pretty much states my case in full. Joseph Smith, the founder of Mormonism made MANY false prophecies. 1. Joseph Smith claimed that Jesus was to return 56 year's from the day of his prophecy. Yet, in 1891 the w...

The US education system needs drastic reform.

I recognize that education is an investment that has a huge impact on the potential of individuals, and of communities. In the US, our education is almost enforced mediocrity, with a huge opportunity cost for those with no interest in education, with wasted resources everywhere, and with far too much wasted time with students that want to pursue higher education. How can current K-12 education be improved? Can we shave 3-4 years off with no loss of utility? We can. Currently, the classrooms ...

The US system of presidential primaries is contrary to democratic values

Intro: "Liberty has never come from Government. Liberty has always come from the subjects of it" (Thomas Jefferson) and it is because of the belief that people should control their own government that my partner and I strongly affirm this resolution. Resolved: The US system of presidential primaries is contrary to democratic values. Definitions for clarification: System: "the people and a process in a unified whole working in equilibrium" (Black Law Dictionary) *note: it did not say t...

What I Believe

"I believe in pure fun. I enjoy pain(that is why i play football). I believe the government has to much power (i.e. the free economy, religion, occupations and global trade). I believe that humanity is no where near anarchy. I agree with President Bush around 75-85%. The upcoming election has no president that fits my beliefs or standards. I believe the constitution and the Founding Fathers had knowledge of modern politics than any philosophers. I use what i see in my life more than evidence. "Global Warming" biggest hoax of 21st century. I believe in capital and corporal punishment."
