"The world doesn't makes sense. Actually... did it even make sense on the first place?" It's not the world that doesn't make sense; it's us.

About them visiting her, I think you can deny them from taking you anywhere or being obligated to visit them if you're legally independent from them, and still have to live in the same area, as it's within your rights to deny them access to your home and to deny going anywhere with them. And if...

Thanks. I think there might be a way to get those images to show, so I'll just post them here: I made this recently on the DS. Here's how I did it: http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://colors.collectingsmiles.com/details/51392-Valkenhayn_R._Hellsing_by_Angelus_Mortis.php

And that's the thing; claiming to know better than your children simply because they're inexperienced is technically an ad hominem; children can still have good sense in certain areas where their parents might not; they might occasionally be correct where their parents are wrong, and being...

Well, to be fair, anyone can do stupid and drastic things. Even if you're in a relationship that your parents agree with, you can still do stupid drastic things. In fact, if you're with someone rich and well to do according to your parents, they probably will like him, but because he's rich and...

Well, what I'm saying is I'm sure your parents believe they care about you; it's just that their idea of caring for you doesn't involve your feelings, which I don't think a lot of people here seem to agree with. If she really didn't care about you, she wouldn't care if your boyfriend caused the...

I was also going to add that the problem with parents want best is that they forget to realize that if they want what's best for their children, they'd also consider what their children are feeling, because if they don't, they're thinking of what's best for them, and not what's best for their...

Moob attack!

Instead of complaining about not liking our arguments, how about simply refuting them? That will prove you're not being vague or wrong. The fact that you bothered to repost up what you said the entire time in the thread makes this all really convenient. If you still don't get it, I'll point it...

Being too vague counts as having a shallow argument. Being able to explain your points and identify fallacies is not indication of a shallow argument, which I believe the majority of other debaters have been doing. And it doesn't matter under what reasons you kill someone; so long as you kill...

Well, I did say not everyone is affected by it, and if it doesn't concern you, you shouldn't be using it as an excuse not to exercise. The problem here is, if you find it harder to lose weight genetically, should you have to work harder than everyone else just to look fit, or can you still be...

Having an opinion about the bible that is different from your own does not entail not having read it. And it doesn't matter if he hasn't read it. It in no way excuses you from having to explain the problems in the bible, and if they weren't problems, then god didn't destroy Sodom and Gomorrah...

Yes, I agree agnosticism is a specific term, but it's much simpler than you make it out to be--in fact, I don't think it even includes knowing the workings of reality; it's just simply not knowing anything with any degree of certainty (or the alternate definition, which is that you can't know...

Yes, I have read those, and you seem to neglect that it also mentions that if the slave has a family, and if he is released before his family, but doesn't want to leave them behind, he has to stay with them as a slave forever. That's just cruel and unjust, and I don't see any good reason for...

And they don't have to be the beacon of morality in order to point out the flaws of the morality in a religious belief system. My morality, or the morality of any other atheist doesn't in any way invalidate any criticism we make of religion; it still stands that the bible contains no verses...

I had a professor who believed that video games are a waste of time. Yet, he teaches a computer graphics course in which even the textbook admits that video games are an application of computer graphics, and when I asked him to distinguish between a simulation and a game (because face it, flight...

Personally, I think fairness doesn't need to be complex, and in fact, I often find the opposite to be true. However, I am not convinced that just because it's too complex that it's too hard to be understood is any explanation for it's fairness; you'll have to be more specific. And Jesus said...

Personally, I advocate free speech, so I think there should be no restriction on people using the n word. As mentioned above, you may use that term in a non-racist context, just as people might swear when hitting their funny bone or stubbing their toes; it hurts no one. I don't see any good...

Okay, but by using the excuse that this is a theism issue, you are trying to wave away the issue of a religion making assertions about another religion, in which it has no sound basis for. The fact that you say it's theism does not in anyway address the issue, and that's why I said it was...

So you're basically admitting that religion is irrational and has no consistency. Which matters to me because I care about the truth, and hand waving it away by saying it's theism changes nothing. It's special pleading, and if you're not accepting the inconsistency here simply because it's...
