430 | 2 | Cmv: i don't see why attending graduation ceremony is such a big deal.: | Reason being:
-My expected degree is in the scientific field, and a bachelors is a drop in the bucket in that area as prestige comes when a PhD is reached normally.
-It is a normal event in life for people who are serious about a future and there is no need to celebrate something that is expected and not surprising.
-I have little emotional connection to the college I am finishing.
-The college is not prestigious/well known for the area I am studying, therefore the coursework was not as vigorous as could be and thereby attending a ceremony that signifies to me little dedication towards studying and finishing my course work is frankly embarrassing.

431 | 2 | Cmv: i believe that after a marriage is over, both parties should walk away without receiving anything, for example alimony, from their ex.: | After a marriage ends, if a pre-nup wasn't signed that is, one partner usually receive alimony from the other. I think this is wrong, and selfish of the people who receive them.
If someone gets a divorce from someone, they want nothing to do with that person again, and yet they are forced to continue to hand them their hard worked for money. It's stupid I think.
If a person knows that if they divorce someone, they will have to work out their lifestyle on their own, it would help them really consider their choice and options.
Obviously if they had kids together the partner should send the person the kids are mostly with child support to help take care of the children, but money just to take care of the adult they didn't want to be with anymore? hell no. They can get a job.

People saying things to each other about Spaghetti? Quoting the transformers movies? Karma is spewing out and overflowing and not an original thought has been had. It's bullshit. Can't you people have your own thoughts, or is every concept you grasp dependent on it being intermediated by a career actor mouthing lines that have been signed off by a committee of movie company executives?

438 | 2 | Cmv: intelligence is the privilege that trumps all other privileges: | I think that when people talk about privilege, they forget about the most important one. Smarts.
If you're smart, you can be a wheelchair bound and paralyzed, and still make it in the world. Case in point: Stephen Hawking.
He's got almost nothing going for him other than his brain. He's still successful.
You could be an African-American/Pacific Islander transgendered/multisex pansexual with chronic diarrhea, paralyzed from the neck down, and a triple amputee with body dysmorphia, but if you've got a 190 IQ, you can become rich. You can be famous. You can have a pretty good spot in life.
Change my view.
EDIT: Swearrengen changed my view. Smarts are worthless without motivation and dedication. The will to succeed is a lot more important than just being a smarty-pants. | 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | TRAIN |
439 | 2 | Cmv: no country should be a permanent member of the un security council and no country should have veto power in the un security council: | I believe that no one should be allowed to be a permanent member and that the 5 countries with the largest influence on the world (defined thru a mix of economics, political, military power, and human rights records). Countries who fall far enough in any of those will lose their seat. As for the rest of the seats they would be filled as they currently are....as for veto power I believe that it is overpowered, for proof of this look towards North Korea...I believe that a 2/3 majority should be enough to get action on an issue

440 | 2 | Cmv: i don't think every suicidal person can be helped and some are "better off" gone.: | This isn't referring to depression because of a terminal illness, but specifically about clinical depression prompting suicidal urges for years. Decades even.
I don't view suicide as a choice - it's a fight or flight response. Some people cope others don't.
Also my philosophy on the value of life undoubtedly skews my stance. I don't believe that anyone has an objective, inherent value and that disallowing someone to end their life promotes their suffering for the comfort of society being uncomfortable with death.
However, temporary bouts of suicidal behavior should be treated but at a certain point it becomes so chronic that pain overshadows pleasure. When someone has suffered for years with suicide but have held off because of guilt from family they are literally tortured into accepting life rather than be allowed to bow out peacefully. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | TRAIN |
441 | 2 | Cmv marilyn monroe does not deserve the reputation of the classy, elegant, role model that many people (women) bestow on her.: | I do not want to come off seeming that I'm speaking ill of the dead.
I honestly hope I do not come across like that. That is not my intention.
Marilyn Monroe is undeserving of the elegant, classy idol status she has and here is why:
She ruined both her marriages because she slept with other (married) men.
There are countless reports of her being difficult and unstable in professional situations.
The biggest reason is because she was a drug addict who died of a drug overdose.
Now, none of these things make her a bad person (I'm sure the wives of the married men she slept with would disagree with that statement) but she should in no way be considered a role model to women.
Any woman that exhibits this kind of behavior today would be considered to be an asshole and coerced into going into therapy and/or rehab. Courtney Love, anyone?
She was not classy. She was not elegant.
At best, she was the Lindsay Lohan of her day.

442 | 2 | Cmv: margaret thatcher was a terrible person.: | I have grown up in rural Ireland in a patriotic area and have been raised to detest Margaret Thatcher. In the early 80s while on hunger strike she denied Bobby Sands and other IRA members the title of political prisoners and they died shortly after despite massive public outcry. Her time as prime minister saw huge decay in Britain's old industries as poverty became widespread in Wales, Scotland and North England. People I know from these areas hate her. But recently to my disbelief I met a man from London who believed she was a great leader. She is also referenced as "The Iron Lady". I cannot stand this woman and how anyone can infuriates me. | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | TRAIN |
443 | 2 | Cmv:the movie 'drive' starring ryan gosling was horribly boring and supremely overrated: | I watched Drive in theaters when it came out several years ago. Almost every single one of my friends absolutely LOVES the movie. The reasons they give are usually as follows: The artistic cinematography, great soundtrack, great acting etc.
Now I don't hate the movie, but most of my friends said it was one of the best films that came out that year.
I thought Gosling's character was very bland (yes I know he's supposed to be some sort of sociopath) but I feel like he was nothing more than a pretty face who had violent tendencies.
The other actors were good, Cranston specifically, but nothing award winning.
The soundtrack was really good but did little to elevate the movie to 'top 10 movie of the year' status.
All in all I thought it was a boring film (save for the exciting 5 minute opening sequence) that kind of just went nowhere.

444 | 2 | Cmv on high fructose corn syrup: | I am highly against HFCS because, in short, it kills people. While I understand it is cheaper, it is by no means better. Examples.
1.) Any type of artificial sugar can cause obesity, or even cancer.
2.) Factories that produce HFCS are very unregulated by the FDA. Tests have proven that there are contaminates of mercury in some batches of HFCS
3.) HFCS and cane sugar are NOT biochemically identical, and our bodies do not process them the same way
4.) The corn industry is VERY corrupt and has been causing local farmers to go out of business, having a detrimental effect on the US economy
I believe that HFCS should not be used by major companies such as coca cola and Pepsi. It has a terrible impact on the quality of the product, and destroys our health, and our economy | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | TRAIN |
445 | 2 | Cmv: responding to a statement with "that's racist" does not inherently discredit that statement.: | This happens all the time online and in real life. Someone says something and another person says "that's racist," which is their trump card that they feel immediately discredits the other person's entire argument.
Let's please ignore inflammatory racist statements. We all know they are bad.
This "that's racist" trump card is played virtually any time race is a component of the discussion.
A recent example is the Mark Cuban situation (let's please not debate that ITT). If you're unaware, Mark Cuban speaking of the Donald Sterling NBA fiasco said that if a black male in a hoodie is walking down the street he would switch to the other side, and if that ~~said~~ side had a white male with neck tattoos he would switch back.
Cue outrage. People respond with "that's racist."
I don't believe that "that's racist" inherently discredits an argument or observation. CMV. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | TRAIN |
446 | 2 | Bleach vs fullmetal alchemist stance: fullmetal alchemist: | They aren't really on the same level.
Sure, Bleach is an enjoyable anime/manga but when you look at anime's the quality is vastly different.
FMA's storyline was set strongly to the 51 episodes, and was never based entirely on the manga. The finite number of episodes is one of its greatest strengths, as storylines that chug on for ages eventually lose steam.
Bleach is now in the 160's if I recall correctly, and a large portion of those are rather daft filler episodes as they try to keep up with the manga that the series is bound to.
The stretching out of events in each episode makes the show feel like its dragging its feet week to week, whereas FMA managed to keep things rolling strongly. Watch other shows like Tengen Toppa Gurren-Lagann (which had 27 episodes) or Flame of Recca (which had 42) and you can see why a limited number of episodes can add major strength to a series. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | TRAIN |
447 | 2 | Better retail website, ebay or amazon? stance: ebay is the retail website for me: | Although eBay serves only as a market medium for connecting suppliers with consumers I would say eBay is better from an economic perspective. With no firmly set prices, eBay's market closely resembles an internet-based free market... where consumers pay the prices they are willing to pay and suppliers supply goods for what they are willing to supply them for. In otherwords this is a self-targetting market which operates (with the exception of delivery problems) at optimum efficiency.
Amazon on the other hand used to use consumer price-targetting, in other words they would raise prices on certain books for certain users they found to be more likely to purchase certain kinds of books. It was only after they were caught that they decided to stop the price targetting. Now they are setting prices based on what the product suppliers are setting them at, they may not be working at optimum efficiency. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | TRAIN |
448 | 2 | Final fantasy or kingdom hearts stance: final fantasy is better: | final fantasy is better because if you look at it compared to kingdom hearts final fantasy has better graphics and a better story line. i must admit kingdom hearts does have some good features but you fight little black creatures called heartless and grey empty bodys called nobodys. and the biggest ruiner is that you do it all with a key. plus some final fantasy games are turn based but that just makes it a little better. the final fantasy trilogy has been out since the nes i have played the first final fantasy (the original) so i can honestly say that not only has final fantasy been out longer and had a better run than most games but you cant beat final fantasy 7 on rating any day. also in kingdom hearts 2 you can see tipha sephiroth and cloud but with different names like roxas is the kid form of cloud. i rest my case. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | TRAIN |
451 | 2 | Torture: can the u.s. justify it? stance: no: | The points against torture are numerous, but the most important one is IT DOESN'T WORK. All of these "ticking time bomb" scenarios are fantasy right out of "24". That just does not happen in the real world. Another point against it: aren't we supposed to be the good guys? How in the world do we expect to keep our supposed moral superiority when we debase ourselves by stooping to the level of our enemies? If someone wants to argue we need to get down to our enemies level to really be effective in the war on terror, shouldn't we have rounded up all the German-Americans in WWII and burned them in ovens? Shouldn't we have gotten down to the German level to be really effective?

452 | 2 | Abortion: right or wrong? stance: it's right: | 2 reasons:
- Let all babies be wanted babies. Knowing that you were unwanted but the parent was prohibited from getting an abortion can be pretty emotionally devastating to some.
- Anyone who doesn't want their baby so much as to have them terminated would not be a good parent. If they could care less about their child, the kid will grow up uncared for and possibly even abused, malnourished, or neglected.
Here's my solution: once you find out you're pregnant (unintentionally), immediately look for an adopter, and if that fails, get an abortion. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | TRAIN |
453 | 2 | Possible ld topic: should limiting economic inequality be a more important social goal than maximizing economic freedom? stance: limiting econ inequality > maximizing econ freedom: | The poor needs help! The rich will get richier and the poor will get poorer unless we intervene. And having poor people exploited is bad for society. No heathcare, no political and legal representation, and there will be blood spilled with a revolution (as we have seen in Cuba, Russia, and China), and it will usually result in a dictatorship. This does not mean taxing people 20%, rather, it just means making it a societal goal to help the poor and invest in the people. | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | TRAIN |

Its not smart to bank our future on fossil fuels and the like forever, however until we get more efficient electric/other technologies it seems like a great stepping point.

456 | 2 | Rugby vs american football stance: rugby: | No, I didn't create this debate, and YES I will be standing up for Rugby.
It occurs to me that Rugby is the superior sport for three main reasons:
1) Rugby is a combination of the two most basic forms of athleticism, running and wrestling. And they run a LOT. Like constantly, coupled with constant attack and defense, with no time-outs and no dead plays.
2) Every position can score, and every body type has a position. Therefore, it is more open and enjoyable for everybody, both players and competitors.
3) No pads. Rugby hits are just as hard, but there is no armor to stop the blow. Skills are just as complex and beautiful, but the force of the impacts are not diffused through barriers. Sport in the raw. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | TRAIN |

You're in effect forcing individuals to make contributions to charities without their consent. Set up voluntary support associations, with reasonable criteria for the support applicants (e.g. they're in the process of trying to get a job/education), and then I'm interested. Give tax breaks to those who contribute (this already happens when you contribute to a recognized charity). Provide insurance benefits only to those who've contributed in the past. Even require applicants to pay back the dole they've received, if you wish. But don't tell me what a worthy cause is.

459 | 2 | Should college athletes get paid? stance: no, they shouldn't get paid: | College athletes do get paid. Going to college costs money, if they are good enough and maintain a gpa they receive scholarships which are essentially debt relief. There is no difference between cashing a check for $1000 an using it to pay a credit card and a scholarship for $1000. The question here then, is not whether or not college athletes get paid, but should college sports be for profit?

462 | 2 | Cutting hair as a punishment stance: it is wrong ?: | I don't exactly see how cutting someone's hair, like a child for example, would straighten them out. For most kids, it wouldn't really teach them a "valuable" lesson. I can tell you based on personal experience. If you can properly discipline your child, then there's no reason to cut his/her hair as a punishment.

While it is understandable, this is not good for the rule of law.

What really fries me is when the bussing of the tables is slow. And that was the case here. Also, instead of letting us relax and order drinks the server took our drink and dinner orders at same time. Take the drink order first and let us look at the menus, please.

business name: twisted lizard tavern & grill. city: scottsdale. categories: restaurants, american (new): | Terrible! I wish I could give a negative star. Bartender was rude, short and immature. She was eating at a table and was the only bartender, which meant having to go to her to get drinks. There were very few people despite it being a Saturday evening, and I understand why!
We asked for chips and salsa she said they only have nachos. We ordered quesadilla, asked for sour cream and salsa which she brought for us. So....hmmmm, I guessed they have chips (nachos?) and obviously have salsa - so we asked her and her response was "it's not on the menu". I suggested that next time she should go into the kitchen and ask them to throw chips in a bowl and salsa in a bowl and bring it out, she told me I was being confrontational. I told her I am in the public service industry and I was just trying to help her out, she rolled her eyes.

Arguing that the router is unsecured and/or does not have a unique SSID is futile; it is common sense that the router has to belong to somebody and if you are not in a free wireless zone e.g. McDonald's, then one should know that any access would probably be going through a privately owned network. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | TRAIN |

And yes I have the right to say this as I am Native American and damn proud of it and I don't feel discriminated because I pay my bills on time if not early !! | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | TRAIN |
565 | 1 | Why were stupid, senseless laws invented?: | Because someone didn't think they were stupid or senseless. And some of the laws we have now actually may not have been stupid when they were passed (for example a law forbidding to have meat, during periods when cows were seriously ill, and there was no other means to warn the people about the dangers of eating that meat). What is stupid is to forget to remove them when they are no longer useful.
The one you mention (about singing in the bath) seems to have some kind of moral background. It seems stupid to us now. And it probably was stupid by the time it was passed, too. But it responded to the moral standards of that time. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | TRAIN |
567 | 1 | Should same sex parents be able to have kids?: | In my opinion, no. How would that effect the child is the first concern. When the child is small wouldn't be the issue, but as he/she entered school it would most defiantly get ridiculed by the other kids and have emotional stress/problems from this. This would really confuse the kid! I don't care what anyone says, a child needs a MOTHER and a FATHER. Not two women, and not two men. | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | TRAIN |
569 | 1 | Is wearing a uniform at school a good idea or not?: | I think it's a good idea. That way, everyone at the school is on the same playing field...at least appearance-wise. Those students who are less fortunate and don't have much money to buy clothes or have a lot of clothes don't have to worry about what their going to wear. I think it helps self-esteem and allows them to concentrate more on schoolwork. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | TRAIN |
570 | 1 | Death penality?: | No.
Any society that values the value of a human life and promotes non-violent solutions would be hypocritical to include capital punishment in their justice system.
With a fallible justice system, there is always the risk that innocent people will be executed.
Where punnishments are decided by mortals, there is a risk that the harsher sentences are handed out according to prejudice.
Where the best barristers are available to those with the most money, there is always a risk that the poor are disadvantaged. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | TRAIN |
571 | 1 | Should our country re evaluate our moral standards?: | If you are speaking of having the government interfere with what we as parents and responsible adults do to teach our children, then no. With regards to the FCC, and what is transmitted over the airwaves and is available for public display, yes. However, the government should also set absolute specifics for such media outlets.
But when it comes to moral standards, parents, should simply get off their lazy asses, and teach their children right from wrong, talk with them and keep an open line of communication. | 1 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | TRAIN |
572 | 1 | Indian mascot controversy?: | Here's always been my thought: I'm Irish and don't complain that Notre Dame's nickname is the "Fighting Irish." I don't go around saying my heritage is being mocked or that I'm offended because "people think I like fighting." It's ridiculous. If any Native Americans are really concerned about this issues, why not look at poverty on the reservations, poor schooling, etc? There's so much more to worry about than school mascot names. | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | TRAIN |
574 | 1 | If i got married in peru before my divorce to another person in the us was final, is my new marriage valid?: | screw american law. You don't need a peice of paper from anyone to prove to you YOU are married and want a lifetime commiment from the person you love the most, just tell her she's your wife and hold a ceremony somewhere the both of you find attractive and and share your thoughts on the future and express your love for one another. And don't forget to continue this thinking in every day for the rest of your life. Cause thats what it is all about. | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | TRAIN |
