    This was a vert noteworthy debate. Listening to the gentleman reasoning on the left for the special relationship reminds me of this one point: "one must sin in order for grace to abound". The Israel of old made God their keep and won battles without the assistance of any nation. Anyway, it is understood the special relationship will continue until the Mt. OLIVE accord prophesied in Scripture. ccord

    If you read their book you know the short answer is: NO, and the long answer is: No way are you kidding me? It's a genocidal cult, do you know anything about this religion? Check history, in 1500 years they had less than a 100 years where they were a bit less violent around 1100, other than that they brought bloodlust to every area they colonized since the 7th century.

    Excellent debate, well conducted. I wonder whether Maajid Nawaz has written or rewritten the Quran to reflect his ideas of reformation. Would that not pave the way towards a more peaceful interpretation of Islam? May Allah bless him in his endeavors.

    This isn't a debate. All of these people believe the issue of legalizing marijuana should be legal in some way, be it for research purposes or out in the open. Usually when these things are "debated" they wave these things around because they already know there's a groundswell of people against it. They seriously couldn't find a Mexican mother who's kid had been killed because of this junk?

    The first part of the second amendment is not a preamble. It's an adaptation of the first clause of section 13 of the Virginia Declaration of Rights. It is a reinforcement of Congress's duty to adequately regulate the militia, and it essentially serves the same function as its equivalent clause in the Virginia Declaration. So well-regulated meant well-regulated by Congress. And the second amendment has nothing to do with self defense. In all of the historical House debates regarding the writing of the second amendment, not a word was said about individual self defense; the debates were entirely anout militia duty.

    "How they deny the validity of any other person -" Rings a bell after finding a lot of food missing, plants in the backyard trashed, literally someone found a way to let their dog into my backyard to do its business. Clothes missing. Overcharged double at the grocery store for something then finding it missing from the refrigerator. They have literally shit on me. Trashed part of a fence that's had a problem I was trying to resolve. Even when I try to take constructive action to improve I get shit on. Who really has the problem? Me or whomever? There's a difference between trying to work things out with someone who has a different point of view and trying to deal with someone sick and abusive. On kitchen sinking - What about trauma that builds up over time? I get what Esther is saying, but the current issue may only be the symptom of something much greater that's built up over time. You can't dismiss 40 years of abuse by only scratching the surface of an iceberg with much greater substance going on under the surface. Not trying to score. Trying to resolve but unfortunately there's a lot going on with that. Respectfully, not sure that if you are not civil or polite in how you deal with something like this, that's your character. Some people don't understand civility. The only way you can get their attention is to hand them back a dose of their own medicine. That doesn't mean there are no limits to how you can abuse others. That does mean there's a level at which unfortunately it takes fire to fight fire. I've heard stories from some European friends about how course some of the US soldiers were when they came to Europe to fight the Nazis. I don't doubt it. But I would politely and respectfully ask them to look at what those soldiers were up against. It's important to view it in terms of the greater context. They had to be fierce to fight a fierce enemy, civility be dammed. The Nazis were anything but civil. What people fight about - power, trust and value. Those who are so insecure they must trash someone's yard and steal their food to make themselves feel powerful are certainly on a toxic power trip. Extraordinarily insecure and hypocritical. If some chain yanker out there has a problem with women or is otherwise sickly sadistic, that's not my problem. That's theirs. Instead of making others take the heat for it, they need to look in the mirror. In my experience there has been no recognition of the "other". There has only been recognition of an extraordinarily one-sided, narrow-minded, hypocritical, selfish and greedy view. I'm so tired of it I could almost start projectile vomiting it right back at "them". Really agree how society seems to be cutting itself off from itself. Sometimes no matter how I look at it it only seems like lemmings heading for a cliff, but that's not the attitude to take. You can't give up. Thanks and appreciation for this video. Thank you, Esther, for being there. I'm learning a lot. "Godspeed" for better days ahead.

    If you need to debate this - you know damn well that Islam is not about peace. It is about dictatorship, sexism, sexual slavery, pedophilia, and more disgusting things that should not be glorified. As a Jew, I lived 17 years in a Muslim country and then 10 years in a Christian one, before moving to Israel. I can tell you everything about Islam, it is one hell of a drug for those who lack brain cells.

    You know that if you keep saying "Islam is a religion of violence" that would solve nothing, right? If we keep spreading the true message of Islam and prove that it doesn't condone violence, then we would have less violence happening overall. but if you just keep saying "islam bad, islam violence" that would solve nothing. more than 2 Billion people are already Muslim, you can't just get them out like that.

    I had grown up in the tale end of the Cold War. From some perspectives, we were in some state of “detente” with the Soviets during the 80s. But the lesson of the cold war was we were not supposed to like the Soviets because they were Communists. The Soviet Union has been gone for thirty years and Russia has not been communist for at least as long. So, all this animosity against Russia leads me to believe most of the previous cold war ideology against the Soviet Union was just for pretend…to give Americans something to do.
