Topic: A thousand dollar challenge for you out there!

Ok so I am a little broke right now, but I can have that in a month... I love my new income.

So here is my super challenge.



The Democrats believe they can make peace with everyone and anyone. That they can get agreements with Iran, Syria and other Muslim nations, and those nations will stop training and funding terrorists, and that if we just give peace a chance then everyone will sing kumbaya together. (sarcasm on the last part)



But if the Democrats cannot convince Republicans, after how many decades of their party existing, to follow in lock step with Democrat ideals... How can they convince those who speak a different language, have a different religion, have a different economy, have a different world view?


Answer it to my satisfaction, make me a believer, and you can get a thousand dollars!

Everything bad in the economy is now Obama's fault. Every job lost, all the debt, all the lost retirement funds. All Obama. Are you happy now? We all get to blame Obama!

Re: A thousand dollar challenge for you out there!

They probably didn't expect them all to sign peace treaties.

USA reaching out to them, and these countries rejecting it will favour the public opinion about USA. If people think the USA is trying to create peace rather than conquer resource-rich areas, they might just not join the Taliban/Al Qaida to fight Americans.

It's all common sense really.

Re: A thousand dollar challenge for you out there!

Before I begin, some clarifying issues:

1: What is it specifically you want me to defend?  It seems like you want me to defend that Democrats can get the world to unite in harmony?  That Democrats can start a change toward global peace, freedom, and democracy?  That sort of thing?

2: And also, if I believe your question assumes a faulty premise, is it within my ability to challenge that premise and, if that premise is shown to be false, modify the question?

3: For the sake of allowing us to have a stable position regarding what the ideals of the Democrats are, is it acceptable to say that the actions (not words, but actions, so that I can't just say "change" and be done with the debate) of Obama are representative of what the Democratic party believes and, thus, what would need to be defended?  Otherwise, you will end up saying "But Michael Moore doesn't believe that, and he represents the Democratic Party," whereas I could say "No, Lieberman and Zell Miller believe this, and they're representative of the party," and we could go back and forth, naming person after person... besides, remember that the President has much more political influence than particular Congressmen.  If any one person is representative of the Democrats, it's him.

You are using two completely different examples. If we take what you say about
these 'democrat' ideals as truth lets compare the two examples: Creating peace
with another society and converting the political views of other people.

In the first example (creating peace) it can be seen that peace is advantageous to
(pretty much) all parties involved: it promotes more stable and stronger economies,
it ensures freedoms. Its a bargaining system: We give you X, you give us Y. A system
used throughout time in MANY different forms.

The second example (conversion of politics) can be seen as a conversion of faith: Forcing
people to change their beliefs (either through words of wisdom, or whatever other means).

The second example takes away peoples rights of freedom and removes the balance of
politics (left vs. right, as stupid as it is, can be important in a GENERAL OVERVIEW of things).


So to summarize and already summarized response:

Peace brings advantageous change that has effects which propogate many areas.
Changing political beliefs removes the balance and removes peoples freedom.


Now i have answered smile. You can keep your money though, give it to a local childrens
charity or inject it into your local economy.

Re: A thousand dollar challenge for you out there!

****smiles****

I am as conservative as can be, but how does logic like, "you can't have world peace because I will not go quietly with you" work out.

For years libs drove me crazy because they never had an open mind to anything.  I am all for peace treaties and talks.  I know way too many fathers and brothers who will not be coming home.  I think that all talks need to have some....how do i say this nicely......marbles behind them.

When it becomes obvious that countries and peoples like Syria, Iran, etc. will not ocmpromise one iota and truly are the aggressors, they should meet my friend daisy....daisy cutter bomb.

And if by chance they do compromise and come to the table with ideas... we all still win.

Why are people not able to do this?!?!?!?

Re: A thousand dollar challenge for you out there!

lol @ Zarf trying to create wiggle room.

Yes world peace, for all eternity could be one standard, but just trying to get Republicans who are conservative to vote on Liberal items as if they are all good without corruption involved (aka buyouts with spending in xyz Republicans state) will do.

And no Zarf, this may not be 'adjusted' since we both know this is quite impossible. Might as well have all Democrats/Liberals throw away socialism first, it's more plausible tongue

"How can they convince those who speak a different language, have a different religion, have a different economy, have a different world view?"

You allowed him to inject it in the local economy?

Flint, I would take him up on the offer if I were you.  It means either you have to actually spend the time debating with Skoe, or you can... spend $1,000 on stuff.  tongue

Re: A thousand dollar challenge for you out there!

I answered to satisfaction. There was no indication he wanted to debate as well.


As to him becoming a believer, my argument was only logical. For him to not
understand would be...unfortunate.

Re: A thousand dollar challenge for you out there!

You have to answer to "his" satisfaction, though.  That means all he has to say is that he's unsatisfied, and you lose.  Therefore, for you to win, you would inevitably have to say, "okay, why are you unsatisfied?"  Thus... a debate.

1 by promoting global cohabitation in a single arkship, devoted to horticulture, apiaries and aviaries.

. By devising a system of musical notation so simple it can be grasped by children of all cultures

And then employing the finest acoustical engineers so that each phrase reverberates in phase and is conducted through the walls of the arkship without distortion

And hold mass assemblies

And serve soft drinks

Soft drinks are the key thing in that plan.

But i don't see how its debatable. I have basically answered his
question by pointing out that he has given two completely, and logically,
different examples...

> Since he said answered to HIS satisfaction
> he'll never owe you

Like i said, i don't want his money. Childrens charity or local
economy it should go to -- the latter could just be flint buying
food and provisions, and paying the bills tongue.
