I agree. Children who came from a financially poor home are more likely to be poor themselves when they're adults, so I think it's an excellent idea to try to break that trend and ensure that a cycle does not continue. My largest concern with the idea of withholding welfare money from families...

I have already said that I don't think there's any reason to think that withholding welfare payments from a family that needs it will result in a positive change in a child's grades. The concept isn't foreign to me, I don't agree with it. With all due respect Sly, this quote shows that...

I don't understand how you feel that withholding money from families that need it will help improve a child's grades. I made the point that if you study psychology you will understand that motivation is very complex and sometimes what you would think with 'common sense' isn't always valid - in...

Welfare is money that goes to families who need additional financial assistance in order to meet a minimum standard of life - it's not money given to families so that their children do better in school. Slyfox has not shown why withholding money from a family that needs it will result in better...

About life in the universe, people make the argument that because there are many, many stars, one other star must have possibly developed life at some point. I don't think this is valid reasoning because we don't have the variables necessary to make that point. Yes, there are many stars and many...

From what I know about the universe, rapid expansion and eventual heat death of the universe is the most likely conclusion at this point. It's pretty much the default position at this point because we know space is expanding, we know that matter is spreading further and further apart, and we...

Chick Fil A's approval rating has plummeted into the ground. Some picture of people lining up to get a $6 hate sandwich isn't much evidence to your point that the boycott is ineffective, any actual stats show it has been effective. Also, big fucking surprise that you come into this thread to...

You're both completely ignoring the fact that there are a lot of gun homicides made with legally purchased firearms and stolen firearms. James Holmes, the man who shot up the Colorado theatre both all of weapons and ammunition legally. Source: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-18936110...

That is the general idea.

Please F5 Stephanie. Make my night.

Lol this is fucking ******ed.

I'm not disagreeing with your position, but there are statistics that show states with higher gun populations have less gun crime - it goes against what one would generally think.

This ignores that firearm homicides do happen with legally purchased guns, stolen guns that were legally purchased, etc. Criminals getting their hands on high power weapons regardless isn't an argument that citizens should have access to the same weapons as well in my mind. Your argument was...

So you're basically saying, handguns, semi-automatic rifles, and pump shotguns are not good enough for protecting yourself in the event of some unknown catastrophe, therefore the most logical thing to do is keep these kinds of weapons in the hands of people just in case? That is absurd, if you...
