- Does God exist? 09:37 +141 2601:981:8180:5c60:64a4:5418:93ba:10a1 discuss (Add objection: *God* is merely subjective to interpretation. With that logic, you can’t disprove my version of God, so it is correct. ) Tags: Mobile edit Mobile web edit
- Was 9/11 an inside job? 07:43 +5,445 Dan Polansky discuss contribs (revert: the page is not excessively long so there is no reason to remove "too long arguments"; more nuance, care and sensitivity is required during editorializing) Tag: Manual revert
1 February 2023
- Should universal basic income be established? 10:58 +81 Dan Polansky discuss contribs (revert edits that do not constitute objective improvements but rather are based on someone's subjective considerations on what is too long etc.; subjective editorializing by someone who contributes little or no substance is problematic) Tag: Manual revert
- Can electric cars significantly help humanity get off fossil fuels? 10:56 +72 Dan Polansky discuss contribs (revert; as an author of the substance of the debate, I am not interested in arbitrary and therefore not necessarily objectively good reordering) Tag: Manual revert
- Are natural resources finite? 10:53 −216 Dan Polansky discuss contribs (restore version before a series of edits that removed allegedly invalid arguments; removal of invalid arguments by a redlinked user is unacceptable; even invalid arguments may be worth debating; readding expansions is an option; we may use talk page to debate whether anything can be removed, and remove it based on consensus) Tag: Manual revert
30 January 2023
- Should suicide be legal? 09:06 +365 2600:8802:2607:f000:b99f:fe31:cfcd:ade7 discuss (Add objection: Punishing someone who attempted suicide and failed would the most cruel and Sadistic act a government could perform, they already don't want to live because of the horrible conditions of their lives and you want them to be FORCED to continue living in even worse conditions? That would only prove their decision to commit suicide to be justified.) Tags: Mobile edit Mobile web edit
28 January 2023
- Should suicide be legal? 12:55 +111 2601:18c:cd80:ced0:11b:c8f2:161f:d012 discuss (Add objection: Suicide is a decision, and not murder. Murder is the killing of another person from a person) Tags: Mobile edit Mobile web edit
