1,862 | 2 | Axis showdown. stance: nazi germany: | An economic superpower in Europe, advanced scientific and military projects, new shock wave military tactics, and far more powerful than Japan.
Japan was fighting in Jungles in smaller bands, and their navy was stopped pretty quickly. Only their loyalty to emperor stopped the entire country surrendering a couple of years earlier.
Germany on the other hand were one of the world big boys, new military tactics and equipment, new scientific advancements, a economic power world wide (before the war). No contest. Nazi Germany wins., | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | TRAIN |
1,863 | 2 | Is it inappropriate for sir paul mccartney to play in quebec as part of the 400th anniversary celebrations? stance: no: | Well, it is a very contentious issue. Much more touchy than most non-Canadians might think...
Yet, the French nationalists are not objecting to his performance based on artistic merit - where they would have a very good point - but on the basis of his nationality....when all he is really trying to do is just celebrate the history of an important place...
Frankly, I think the best way to celebrate Quebec City's 'birthday' wouold be to build a humongous statue to the father of Canada, General Wolfe, on the plains of Abraham! | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | TRAIN |
1,864 | 2 | Pearl jam vs queen stance: queen: | Ohhhh.... this is tough, very tough. These are two of my if not my two favorite bands. I think Queen takes it, though, because their anthems (We will Rock You, We are the Champions...) will live on long after the band is forgotten. Also the range of themes and ideas their music explores is a lot wider. Pearl Jam is good, musically, but Queen is better. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | TRAIN |
1,866 | 2 | Loz ocarina of time vs. loz majora's mask stance: ocarina of time is a better game: | Ocarina of time is better than Majora's Mask. Both games were fun to play, and MM was a great compliment to OoT, but OoT just stands out on top of MM. We're talking about what most people regard as the best game ever made. OoT successfully brought the Zelda series into the 3D realm, and gave us a massive world to explore and one of the most engrossing stories ever to be found in a video game. OoT was one of my first game addictions, and the game that got me into the Zelda series. Brilliantly designed and executed, and still regarded by many as the best game in the series. All honors need to go to Ocarina of Time. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | TRAIN |
1,867 | 2 | Would you ever commit suicide? stance: yes: | I'll start. Obviously I can't know if I would actually go through with it should I find myself in this position, but I'm at least willing to entertain the possibility. Were I suffering early onset Alzheimer's or similar mental decline I would consider ending my life. The ability to maintain a continuous consciousness is what makes me who I am. At the point where I lose my grip on reality, forget who I am, forget what I am, forget what I believe, then I cease being me. I would consider ending my life in this case. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | TRAIN |
1,868 | 2 | Teachers are overpaid stance: teachers are overpaid: | The average salary of an american is 32,000$
the average salary of a teacher (not including the monetary value of benefits) is 53,000$
In wisconsin, the salary including benefits is 75,000$
4.5 billion is spent on teacher salaries, and 1.6 billion is spent on their insane amount of benefits.
I believe that this is a huge amount of money for someone to receive, especially since all mediocre teachers are practically impossible to fire.
Teachers should be paid and given raises based on performance, not the amount of years they stayed at the school.
I recommend watching the documentary 'waiting for superman', because it sheds light on the many imperfections of our failing public school system.
The US should have close to the highest test scores, but because of our abundance of average teachers that cant be fired, we are not. Instead, the US has some of the lowest scores. | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | TRAIN |
1,869 | 2 | Gravity as einstein depicts does not exist. stance: einstein is wrong.: | Why do we still act as though Einstein's view of the universe is correct?
Just because one man has a feeling all matter warps space-time doesn't make it true!
Think about it... get ready... this is the theory... all matter sucks. Literally!
This theory states that all matter sucks space-time and all other matter just seems to attract, like the "ultimate sagging mattress" that is often alluded to.
Besides this being fairly ridiculous, there are a number of things specifically wrong with it.
1. Mathematically, it is fundamentally flawed by assumptions.
2. Various thought experiments create paradoxes.
3. It can never work with quantum physics.
4. Black holes; not even light can escape. So if the velocity of light is the universal constant, why can something change its velocity through a vacuum?
5. Other theories are far more logical, but have been gunned down by conservative physicists. | 1 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | TRAIN |
1,870 | 2 | Should the u.s. put more ships in the pirate infested waters? stance: yes: | The U.S. has one of the strongest navies in the World. We have a total of 366 military ships in commision as we speak. We have a total of 4 military ships in the area that are in danger of pirate attacks. These dangerous water cover THOUSANDS of nautical miles. So can a mere 4 ships protect this huge expanse of sea? Not effectively. So why can't the most powerful navy in the world spare a few more ships to protect the trade routes and countries around this area? Or would we rather keep the 4 ships there and hope that no more ships get hijacked? I prefer the first option.
I mean, hundreds of ships peacefully pass through the dangerous waters each day, some with the intentions to provide aid to third world countries. Is it truly politically correct to allow trade routes to be dangerous and hostile? Nope. | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | TRAIN |

business name: momo sushi. city: boulder city. categories: sushi bars, restaurants: | My husband and I agreed that this was the best sushi of our lives. And he would follow that up with also saying "and I've had a shit load of sushi"

business name: the old spaghetti factory. city: chandler. categories: restaurants, italian: | Really really awesome dining experience here. I ordered the Angel Hair Pomodoro and left the cheese off so it was vegan. SO. GOOD. The fresh basil was the highlight, pasta was perfect, and that alone makes it 5 stars.
However ... The best part of dinner aside from the food was our server, Alyssa. She was attentive, familiar with what was vegan on the menu (!!!!!) and always making sure our drinks were filled up. Definitely ask for her when you come! I will when I go back for sure. It's always a good dining experience when the staff is as helpful and kind as the food is delicious.
This was an A+ experience. Very happy. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | TRAIN |

business name: jack in the box. city: surprise. categories: restaurants, fast food: | I don't go to jack in the box often. However I've never really had a bad experience with one.
The service here sucks. I've come here twice with this last instance being the last time I bother.
I've walked in both times.
It took about 15 minutes to get a single jumbo jack last time. It wasn't busy.
Today it took 3 minutes with me being the only person in line and two people looking right at me and not taking my order before I left.
Management should consider an overhaul of their employees. 5 guys will continue to get my business over you. They seem to take less time than you do and they're a walk in burger place. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | TRAIN |

business name: trattoria mercatto. city: toronto. categories: italian, restaurants, pizza: | atmosphere here was very nice and a good date spot
the menu was a little confusing because it was in Italian I think but the waiter was happy to help
I got the seafood linguine as recommended as the waiter as a popular dish
The food took quite a while to arrive but we did get free bread with olive oil but it was quite hard and dry so I did not really like it and didn't eat it
when we got the food we were quite disappointed by the portion as it was expensive for the small portion we got. we easily demolished the noodles in 5 min and felt hungry even after spending around $25. the noodles themselves were very tasty and flavourful and they add cheese at the top but definitely not worth the price so only come if you're willing to splurge or have a small stomach
overall I would not come again due to the high price tag and the small portions | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | TRAIN |
1,880 | 0 | Is the school uniform a good or bad idea: | We talk about how schools destroy creativity and uniforms are a classic example of that destruction. In most schools with uniforms the students are given the occasional day to were their casual clothes but are then given strict guidelines as to what is acceptable. This is effectively turning "casual clothes" into a twisted "causal" uniform. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | TRAIN |

It is also true that when guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns. Now, some would say no, outlaws and cops. I argue that at that point, those two groups become indistinguishable.

If the landlord does not make the repair the tenant can do any of the following:
Take the rent when it is due to the local clerk of courts. A tenant must be current in their rent with the clerk of courts (called rent deposit). The tenant does not need an attorney for rent depositing.
Apply to the court to order the landlord to make the repairs. The court can also lower the rent until the repairs are made or give the tenant some of the rent money so the tenant can have the repairs made.
End the lease.
Cancel the rental agreement and move. This can be done only after the tenant has given appropriate notice, and the landlord has failed to correct the condition. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | TRAIN |

This woman was not coming to your home. She was invited to your home by your husband. She was not making out with him. Your husband was making out with her. And she did not get pregnant. Your husband got her pregnant.

However, the issue may not be best approached by means of your "legal recourse." If you haven't done so, tell the designer how unhappy you are and why, and ask that the designs be redone. It may be that the designed will work with you to redo the work -- it would be in the designers' long-run best interests to see that his/her customers are happy with the design. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | TRAIN |

Your question would have much more validity if it were "why did white people decide to use that word as a term of offense in the first place?"

If a judge has a standing policy against such things in his courtroom, whether on or off, you could be held in contempt. My guess is that most judges wouldn't go as far as to hold someone in contempt if it was off. But I've personally seen a person's phone get confiscated b/c there was a concern that the individual was attempting to take pictures of witnesses with it in a drug case (i.e.--witness intimidation). | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | TRAIN |

It should be to state that it had only been built for the time that it has and that the building should be inspected as there are no proper foundations. If you knowingly write an incorrect statement and the truth comes out then you could be caught for aiding and abetting an illegal sale. The whole thing is a mine field so either stay out of it altogether or put the local authority in the picture.

Islam demands that church and state be as one with the rule of law coming from the Koran. Despite the attempts by some right-wing conservative religious types, in America we have a wall of separation between religion and the government where a citizen can follow the dictate of his/her conscience. Islam needs to go through their own Enlightenment before any type of western democracy will have a chance to succeed. Until then we can only keep (weak) control by military force which sets up blowback as we now see in the Middle East. | 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | TRAIN |

If he refuses to pass a drug screening, then most likely his custody will not go through because when this case presents before a judge and you mention drug activity, the judge may order a drug test.

I believe that until these issues are better delt with, people will not be able to believe that our justice system is efficient enough to "correct" anyone.

A guy weak enough to be "raped" would be a laughing stock. The most likely scenario would be a date rape drug and the guy contracts an STD from it's usage. Especially a married or engaged man.

Thu Jul 29,10:59 AM ET
AP
SCOTTSBLUFF, Neb. - Two men who were arrested for walking through a Wal-Mart while wearing women's thong underwear blamed the stunt on a "triple-dog dare," authorities said.
The men, ages 35 and 36, bought two pair of underwear at the store Tuesday, went into a bathroom and came out wearing only the thongs and T-shirts, police said.
Witnesses said the men walked through the store and out to their car.
Police caught the men in the parking lot, and reviewed a surveillance tape before arresting them for public indecency and disorderly conduct.
When asked why they were wearing thong underwear, one of the men said a friend "triple-dog dared" them. They will not be prosecuted, authorities said. | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | TRAIN |

To solve this, we need to define what being alive means legally. I propose that being alive should be measured by brain activity since its our brain what makes us sentient.
So, if a fetus doesn't show any signs of brain activity then its not a living human being yet and could be legally aborted.
This definition bypasses both religious and ethical concerns, potentially makind the abort issue way easier to solve. | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | TRAIN |

Not that I advocate rampant immorality or anything, that'd be stupid. Most acts we generally consider immoral are detrimental to society -murder, theft, rape, etc- all of these things may not be intrinsically evil, but they're not beneficial to one doing them or society in general.
So while most 'evil' acts are generally detrimental to self and society and should rationally be avoided, and 'good' acts are often beneficial to self and society and should be encouraged, they're both still ultimately amoral. Our senses of right and wrong are purely a result of chemicals in our brain provoking feeling, which in no way proves a greater objective moral truth.

Point 3 - teachers must continue to learn these new methods and changing curriculum in order to effectively lead the learning process.
Point 4 - standardized testing prior to each school year would allow teachers to be moved where most effective, or removed all together if they are no longer effective at leading the learning process.

2,005 | 2 | Cmv: skateboarding is an art form and should be respected as much as any other street art.: | People who know nothing of it seem to usually be slightly disdainful towards it, it's seen as being like a form of hooliganism and associated with being immature and has generally bad connotations if you ask the average joe.
Some wouldnt even consider it a sport.
But I consider it a form of street art, on the basis that it is
* fundamentally creative, everyone has their own style
* a sort of artistic rebellion against the mundane, boring cityscape a lot of people are born in, it takes what to someone else is just a ledge and turns it into something fun and creative
if you're more in favor of a corporations right to take up public space with art than you are in favor to peoples desire to rebel against that with street art then fair enough I dont expect to change your mind with this and you wont change mine by saying it's against the law but if you enjoy street art you should appreciate skateboarding on some level. | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | TRAIN |
2,007 | 2 | Cmv: i think girls who dress slutty are 'asking for it?' change my view please.: | Let me elaborate more. I don't think anyone ever 'asks to be raped'. But I think if you dress like a whore you increase your chances. So, if you dressed more conservative you reduce that chances. Women are always saying that they should not be treated like sexual objects yet they constantly dressing in a way that makes men (or maybe just me) see them as objects. I'm not saying dressing *nicer* clothes will stop rape, but it couldn't hurt.
This is my current view. I'm not stubborn so I want people to change my mind. I just haven't been convinced. My comeback is always, 'why put yourself in that position'. 'I don't want to get mugged, so I better avoid that alley'. Thanks.
Edit: Okay, thank you all very much. The problem lies with me and I see women as nothing more than sex objects. Maybe I should have changed the title 'CMV: I think women are only good for sex'. Thanks again. | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | TRAIN |
2,009 | 2 | Gravity should not be taught in schools stance: not taught because it's only a theory: | Gravity is only a theory, therefore it should not be taught in schools because it is not absolute. A theory, as science details is not a law and we should not be teaching our kids speculative notions about the world as fact. Remove teaching the theory of gravity from schools or at least include in science class other notions to explain the phenomena we speculatively call gravity. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | TRAIN |
2,010 | 2 | Religion is wrong stance: religion is wrong: | Quick Summary;
Religion, being based on zero evidence and abstract ideas attacks intelligence and mental development of human beings. From birth to adulthood, a person is capable of understanding the values Earth and Physics has to offer unless intercepted by religion (Parents, Priest, Churches, Media etc) If easily convinced, this person is at high risk of losing the mental capabilities of being 'smart' under this sense. | 1 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | TRAIN |
