So, instead of saying "My oponant is guilty of this or that," they should speak of one anothers' good point in their debates and further it by saying," Buth i have other suggestions on how to handle the situation." All propaganda does is give politions control on how we should hate the opposing candidate. Letr each candidate do that for themselves.

Is he/she intelligent enough to graduate in two years rather than four? That is the inquisitive direction such a debate lead to. Also, as Sun Tzu said, can they abide properly to the proper authority, such as teachers, bosses, etc.? Those who cannot will need aid in learning how to abide with said authorities, otherwise, all the deucation in the world could be wasted, wether or not the student can academically pass in as little as two years.

That works so well for our own country. Letting politicians further regulate the way we vote, giving them even more control over us. Why shouldn't countries, whose governments' already have more power over their citizens, take that much more control over them?

Uh, gee, I don't know. Should we have feared Y2K? Nope to both. It's just some scare tactic based on some ancient Mayan calender. I'm not afraid.

Can the person handle fame and fortune, always being in the public eye, always being looked to to uphold a certain imge and attitude? And money, let's talk about that. I believe money destroys lives for those who are not famous. just imagine how baad it is for those who are. They have seemingly infinite amounts of it ( though, in reality, most of what a celebrity makes gets divied out to film companies, agents, lawyers and thier agents). Life as a celebrity, I imagine, can be hell on the individual. Remember, there is more to being a celebrity than what we all see. And, yes, that can destroy thier lives.

Slogans should only be read and represented hypothetically and/or metaphorically. Do you really believe anythin short of scientific gene tampering can give people wings? I don't, so, I interpret it to say, "gives you an extra boost of energy". Don't take corporate slogans literally Sun, 4 Jul 2010 21:39:07 +0000 http://www.debateitout.com/should-misleading-corporate-slogans-be-forbidden.html#IDComment84785228 http://www.debateitout.com/are-ghosts-real.html#IDComment84783098 Only a skeptic says ghosts aren't real. in fact, skeptics believe nothing is real. Therefor, skeptics believe in nothing. They just burry thier heads in the sand and pretend that thier closed up little world is safe and will always remain safe if they continue to believe in nothing. and, as far as "scientific" evidence, it doesn't even need to come down to science. Everyone has "personal experiences", but only a skeptic will exscuse these experiences away by claiming they arew merely figments of thier imagination. Besides, science teaches two things which, in my opinion, supports the existance of ghosts. One, energy never ceaces, it only changes form. Two, we, as living creatures, are essentially energy. therefor, when we die, our energy has to go somewhere and change into something continual. So, why not become "ghosts" Sun, 4 Jul 2010 21:19:12 +0000 http://www.debateitout.com/are-ghosts-real.html#IDComment84783098
