<|TOPIC|>ban child performers<|ARGUMENT|>Even experienced adults can find it difficult to deal with stage fright or performance anxiety. Children, more emotionally vulnerable than adults by nature, should not be exposed to this sort of pressure. This is especially true in situations where the child is being paid for their performance, since the added necessity to perform well can lead to even more pressure. Although suicide among children is rare, it is believed often to occur as a result of the child feeling like she is under too much pressure, or failing to meet the expectations of others.1 There are also consequences that continue long past the child has stopped performing; former child actors often have the problem as young adults as feeling as having already ‘peaked’ and find themselves without a sense of drive or ambition or a coherent adult identity, consequentially they often suffer from substance abuse and addiction 1 Lipsett, ‘Stress driving pupils to suicide, says union’<|ASPECTS|>drive, substance abuse, addiction, perform well, adult identity, consequences, pressure, ambition, emotionally vulnerable, stage fright, suicide, expectations, performance anxiety<|CONCLUSION|>
| It is unethical to expose children to the pressures of performing

<|TOPIC|>NA<|ARGUMENT|>So let me start off by saying this is an account I made solely for controversial questions as I don't want this coming up on my actual reddit history because I fear this will harm my career choices, have those close to me ostracized me, and etc. This is not spam, I genuinely want to see if my views on these matters can be changed I just want to do so with an extra layer of anonymity. Additionally, let me add that I voted for Hillary, am a regestered democrat, consider R The Donald to have too many closed minded bigoted people for my liking, and consider Trump to be too completely incompetent and two faced to effectively be a decent president. All that being said This all started when a lot of fuss was brought up in the college I am attending this has nothing to do with me personally, want to clarify perfectly clear and this doesn't affect ME whatsoever, I am concerened over those it did affect about Trump endind the DACA protection and the administration promising the students that they would protect their DACA students and employees we have a lot of workers who are likely illegal immigrants as well . I don't think it is fair that Illegal Immigrants should be allowed to go to AMERICAN college and even take financial aid. American Colleges are meant first and foremost to benefit the very Americans who pay taxes to support said schools as they are supposed to be at least a partially public service. These illegal students I highly doubt pay any sort of taxes and are not only potentially hell, maybe some are working their assess off to pay, and that's fine, but receiving financial aid but are taking a VERY contested and spot in american universities which are, again, supposed to primarily benefit Americans. I guarantee you there are thousands of very poor bright kids who were actually born here and whose parent s or themselves pay taxes to the federal government and are crowded out because the room, board, and financial aid is being given to an illegal immigrant. The only acceptable reason for accepting an illegal immigrant into an American University with ANY amount of government aid payed for by CITIZENS is if there is no other possible canidates who are US citizens who qualify for financial aide and do not have sufficient grades to get in, then and ONLY then could Illegal Immigrants be allowed into the university with financial aid. Honestly I don't think this situation would ever happen as there are so many citizens who want to go to college who are poor. Please note I have empathy for the illegal immigrants in this country, but this REALLY rankles me. Let me clarify further that I have NOTHING against a rich family or something paying out of the goodness of their heart full tuition for an illegal student. It's your money and frankly helping another human being, regardless of nationality, is awesome. Still, I don't believe American Taxpayers should be paying tuition for Illegal Immigrants while their own kids are rejected from the same colleges. TLDR The Title. EDIT Yeah I've been using DACA and Illegal Immigrants interchangeably and it appears that in either case they don't receive financial aide thank you all for explaining this, That's why I'm here, to learn , and my view has changed about 80 degrees so far out of the 180. <|ASPECTS|>full tuition, daca, illegal students, protect, immigrants, rich family, money, harm, career choices, american college, tuition, partially, controversial questions, empathy, rejected, financial aid, illegal immigrants, taxes, decent president, financial aide, incompetent, regestered democrat, poor bright kids, illegal student, paying, aid, illegal immigrant, benefit americans, anonymity, helping another human, benefit, ostracized, government aid, poor, public service, closed minded bigoted people<|CONCLUSION|>

<|TOPIC|>NA<|ARGUMENT|>I honestly do not understand the big fuss about bathrooms. Some people want to force people to use the bathroom of the sex they were born in while others want everyone to be able to go to the bathroom they want to go in. Both these positions have a lot of disadvantages. Cons of forcing people to use the bathroom of the sex they were born in how would you know who is and who is not a trans. Cons of allowing everyone to use any bathroom they want sexual predators My position is why regulate the bathroom. If you look like a woman, go to the female bathroom. No one will really care. Similarly if you look like a man, go to the male bathroom. No one will know if you have a penis or not. Edit Clarification What I am proposing is not a rule that needs to be enforced, but rather let bathrooms be how they used to be. Also, if a person is ambiguous, there will not be an outrage on which bathroom they use. The justified outrage is when people want to allow males who are clearly males to use the female bathroom. Edit Further Clarification SJW want to let everyone use any bathroom. Right wing people want to go by biological sex. Both proposals are bad and impractical. Why not continue with the status quo whereby a clearly looking male person cannot go to the female bathroom but an ambiguous looking one can<|ASPECTS|>ambiguous, , force, bathroom, sexual predators, biological sex, status quo, bad, care, penis, rule, fuss about bathrooms, female bathroom, male bathroom, disadvantages, regulate the bathroom, justified outrage, bathrooms, outrage, ambiguous looking, impractical<|CONCLUSION|>

<|TOPIC|>NA<|ARGUMENT|>including the I'm not going to vote because the system sucks posts, which are the same thing through a personal statement This is us centric, but the logic may apply to elections elsewhere. When I say should, I mean that these forums would be a better place without those posts or posters, if people insist on breaking the rule repeatedly and get banned All right, so, this is a recent thought I had. It's not a cherished opinion, but, I've managed to convince myself of it. Leading up to an election, this has become relevant again. This type of post is not yet common, but was endemic in 2016, before and after the election. First, they derail conversation into the same repetitive arguments. I've never seen anything constructive come of those discussions. Second, discouraging voting is a tried and true tactic of political operators now including Russian trolls, though it's much older than that. That means a good number of such posts are fake lies told in a targeted way to encourage certain groups to not vote. There's no reason to facilitate such propaganda. Third, this rule is clear, would be easy to enforce, and has no real gray areas or slippery slope. My proposed wording Any post suggesting that others not vote, or that their votes do not matter, including any statement of personal intent to not vote, or blanket statements about groups doing the same, is banned. Pointing out problems in voting systems, lack of representation, reduced impact, low voter turnout, is ok. To be banned, your post must contain either An imperative statement to not vote. An uncontested statement that voting does not matter the system is too broken to vote. An anecdotal statement about yourself or categories demographics of people not voting because voting doesn't matter. For example, group of people aren't voting because they realize the system is broken is banned. Group of people aren't voting because they don't have faith in the electoral process, is fine. I live in a solid blue red state so my vote won't matter, is banned. I live in a solid blue red state and wish my vote had more impact, is fine. Some final details I'm specifically talking about moderator enforced rules in political subs, not Reddit as a whole, and not this subreddit. Specifically, I object to broader discussions of news, politics, etc, being derailed. I don't care about free speech arguments, unless you can provide strong evidence that removing these posts would seriously impact other discussions. Finally, if your response to me is an attempt to prove that voting indeed doesn't matter, I will ignore you. That's not the topic of discussion.<|ASPECTS|>, low, cherished opinion, political operators, ignore, impact other discussions, discouraging voting, discussions, lack of representation, better place, fake lies, faith in, voting, derail conversation, broader, centric, voting indeed, relevant, constructive, voting systems, derailed, anecdotal statement, gray areas, system is broken, personal intent, voter turnout, moderator enforced rules, rule, banned, system sucks posts, politics, system, facilitate, electoral process, repetitive arguments, reduced impact, free speech arguments, news, endemic, impact, topic of discussion, easy, broken to vote, propaganda, demographics, vote, slippery slope<|CONCLUSION|>

<|TOPIC|>NA<|ARGUMENT|>One of the most famous quotes about Nihilism is Nietzsche's God is dead and we killed him , referring to the way how science research deleted God as an explanation from so many places, where we just couldn't figure something out. While this depressive philosophy isn't really healthy and I believe Nietzsche himself feared it's uprise because of its dangers , the more you are interested in science and logic, the less and less meaning there is to both individuals and humanity's existence. The only arguments by people in science, that are religious, are in the logical paradoxes, that have no real explanation, because they are nonsensical, so they just put God there. Note that I used God a lot here, using him as sort of ultimate purpose in life. I did it because I believe, that there is no discussion if life's purpose that isn't based on religion in a few billion years no matter what you achieve, all of Earth will be turned to ashes as the Sun swallows it whole. And even if you make humanity jump the technological gap and, for example, invent a way to save mankind, at the point at which the Universe meets its ultimate fate, even if mankind by then survived just because of you, they will inevitably all die and it will make no difference, whether they died then or at any other time. I'm kinda scared of this philosophy so it's in my best intent to change my view on it, but I've failed to find a good argument against it.

<|TOPIC|>NA<|ARGUMENT|>Just clarify by saying that this is for people who turn to God for decisions such as praying for cure of an illness ie praying to God to cure them of cancer instead of seeking medical help. For example that couple that had both of their sons die by denying them medical help and choosing to pray instead. I know not all Christians Religious people are like this. Basically where people use God instead of rational logic , I believe should be treated as mentally ill. Please don't reply saying that if they used rational logic then they wouldn't believe in God in the first place.<|ASPECTS|>believe, cancer, medical help, rational logic, religious people, god, cure, die, mentally ill<|CONCLUSION|>

<|TOPIC|>NA<|ARGUMENT|>My reasoning for this is as follows In my experience, most students will choose their major after the first year of college. To a certain extent, I'd say that one's choice of major plays a major role in determining one's future. A philosophy major might have a hard time getting an engineering gig, for instance. By requiring students to take a variety of courses prior to making this decision, students would be more likely to make a better informed decision on their major and future career. An issue I foresee with this is that gen eds are more geared towards the humanities, rather than STEM courses. To address this, I'd suggest requiring either introductory level STEM courses Chem 101, Intro to Biology, etc to be taught as gen eds, or having an even more introductory level class to be taught to people who have no background in the matter, maybe not to teach major concepts, but at the very least to introduce students to the styles of thought and methods that would be required in a college environment, as opposed to a high school environment. Writing this, I realize that this is probably more America centric than I had initially anticipated. Sorry about that. In addition to allowing students to make a better informed decision, students would likely have an easier time with scheduling their coursework. Anecdotally, I know that I had a considerable degree of difficult getting coursework scheduled as a STEM student because a lab section was scheduled for the same time as a gen ed that I needed to take. While I believe the majority of my gen eds were valuable for me, I think that the scheduling difficulties that they established limited the coursework that I was able to take. Finally, sort of going off my first point, this introductory year or two would serve as a good developmental stalling tactic. While I won't pretend that a 20 year old is the most mature creature on this planet, I think they would be more likely to make a better considered and more thoughtful decision about their academic path than somebody who's fresh out of college. Being exposed to a more rigorous environment, coupled with ongoing neural development, would presumably give college students a bit more time and wisdom to make a proper decision. EDIT Apparently my college experience was quite different from the standard experience. Whoops. <|ASPECTS|>, better informed decision, hard time, informed decision, humanities, development, scheduling difficulties, engineering gig, determining, developmental stalling tactic, thoughtful decision, future, scheduling, america centric, experience, time and wisdom, proper decision, academic path, college experience, coursework, difficult getting, rigorous environment, 's, styles of thought and methods, easier time, choose their major, mature creature, students, better, stem, choice<|CONCLUSION|>
| Gen-ed requirements in college, particularly in liberal arts colleges, should primarily be front-loaded into the first year or two, and students should only be allowed to select a major after finishing the bulk of these courses.

<|TOPIC|>Should the UK Remain in the EU if the only Alternative is a Hard Brexit?<|ARGUMENT|>Hardcore Brexiteers are always going to hate having been deprived of their "victory", but they don't have to like it to turn up to vote, even if it's only to try to oust whoever made the decision. Their visceral dislike of the outcome will make them as aware as anyone of how and why they eventually "lost", i.e. They'll come out of it understanding the nature of British democracy and why they should vote to decide on their local MP.<|ASPECTS|>lost, visceral dislike, oust, deprived, victory, british democracy<|CONCLUSION|>
| Not necessarily, if it were correctly framed as a loss of faith by parliament in the referendum process and a return to Britain's actual sovereignty, in which the electorate elect and the elected make educated decisions, rather than throwing decisions to a lynch mob for political purposes. If that case were made it could result in increased turnout at elections as the electorate would then better understand the importance of electing the right people.

<|TOPIC|>NA<|ARGUMENT|>The Imperials follow Palpatine who legally became Supreme Chancellor of the senate albeit due to manipulations that are very common in politics. He used legal means to control the senate by a domino effect that he and his Sith allies started to coerce the population into granting him emergency rights. Although he broke the trust of the voters while he had these emergency rights by declaring himself emperor, he still did it within the law. The rebels on the other hand aren't able to overthrow him legally and therefore committed terrorist actions against the established government and were trying to eliminate the Sith elements that headed this government for religious reasons dark side of the force . Although this government brought order and stability to the core worlds and protection from outsiders as referenced by the Vong invasion. The rebels led by the Jedi religion light side of the force relied on ancient texts and prophecies that told them that there would be a balance to the force which gave them permission and incentive to perform terrorists acts against the established government in effect their jihad. Reasons that the Empire was a legit government It drove technology forward via innovation in weapons, ships, shields and communication. It imposed the law effectively by dissolving the senate so decisions would be made quickly and efficiently rather than by corrupt officials.

<|TOPIC|>Is Morality Objective?<|ARGUMENT|>True. Existence has nothing to do with contradictions or incoherence. Both are our concepts, while reality exists independently from us and our concepts. It is elementary, like the paradox: "I'm a compulsive liar." The fact that we cannot resolve this statement does not prove that in reality there is no compulsive lair who can say these very words. Quantum physics is a contradiction, electron being both a wave and a particle, which are two mutually exclusive concepts.<|ASPECTS|>mutually exclusive, contradictions, existence, compulsive liar, compulsive lair, elementary, incoherence, reality exists independently<|CONCLUSION|>

<|TOPIC|>NA<|ARGUMENT|>I know a lot of people talk about how important it is to major in something you are interested, but I think majoring in something really saturated eg. Journalism is a bad idea. It is common for people to romanticise a certain major or career. The truth is most if not all jobs have workplace politics of some sort so most careers are not as good as they think. You might as well pick the career which pays better if you don't have it too much. Finding a job will be very competitive. I know a lot of it is based on meritocracy but other things like luck matter a lot too. A company may have to choose between ten equally qualified candidates so someone is bound to be rejected. Networking is obviously important, but with tonnes of other eager candidates competing with you, it is really hard to stand out. College is expensive and time consuming so it seems wise to see it as a form of investment. If you like learning about philosophy or music, you can always learn about that in your free time by taking much cheaper online courses. No need to spend thousands of dollars on a degree. The only exception I can think of is wealthy kids who never have to worry about poverty or they can easily find a job via family networks. <|ASPECTS|>time consuming, pick, worry, hard, stand, networking, family networks, spend thousands of dollars, pays better, rejected, bad idea, wealthy kids, investment, journalism, workplace politics, learn, luck, philosophy, competitive, equally qualified candidates, cheaper online courses, career, eager candidates, poverty, expensive, romanticise, meritocracy<|CONCLUSION|>

My son has recently started asking questions about death will I die, will mom die, will he die, how long until he dies, what happens when he dies, and so on. He is really anxious about this and will lie awake talking about it. His mother and I have so far answered these in accordance with our lack of belief yes, everyone dies and no, there is nothing after death, don't worry about it you'll live a long, long time before you die. Would it be kinder to an already pretty anxious boy to serve him some comforting lies until he's old enough to handle the truth?

<|TOPIC|>NA<|ARGUMENT|>As a left leaning British Christian, I come from a tradition where the left commonly identifies with Christianity the NHS was started by Christians, free education for all was championed by Christian reformers, Christians lead the abolition of slavery fight etc . Part of this logic is that the acceptance of taxation is akin to charity, IE we give up what is by most definitions our money, to give to a cause that benefits those less fortunate, as well as broader society. In the US however, Christians it seems more commonly identify with the right, and when I argue that, for instance, US Christians should be in support of universal healthcare funded through taxation, because Christians are okay with charity, the counter response is something to the effect of but charity is voluntary, where as taxation is compulsory and so therefore taxation isn't comparable here and thus taxpayer funded universal healthcare isn't something they would support. The problem I have with this logic is that it's basically undermined by the US Christian Right wing outlook on many other issues. If their argument is that because taxation is involuntary and compelled through force of law, how do they then see it as so important that force of law be used to enforce against gay marriage for instance. In fact, this argument goes even further. Surely this is basically the same as an argument for abolishing the state. If US Christian Republicans basically argue that something is not holy if it is compelled through force of law, why then are they so often very law and order focused. If they do not think the law is an apropriate force to compel charity, why it is okay to use the law to compel other Christian behaviours, such as temperance because US Christian Republicans are often very opposed to the use of recreational drugs etc . So in summary, I'd like to see a compelling reason why a the American Christian Republican perspective can oppose taxation as charity because the state should not enforce generosity but can support police enforced morality because the state should enforce good citizenship. <|ASPECTS|>charity is voluntary, undermined, free education, apropriate force, acceptance of taxation, taxation, charity, christian right wing outlook, compel, police enforced morality, good citizenship, us, benefits those less fortunate, involuntary, law and order focused, force of law, taxpayer funded, abolition of slavery, abolishing the state, generosity, compel charity, universal healthcare, marriage, healthcare, compelled, christian behaviours, holy<|CONCLUSION|>

Maybe it's just the media overhyping every little thing but I honestly don't think there is anything he can do that can effect him much at all. As Ben Shapiro put it that most politicians are scared of getting mud whereas trump is a monster made of mud. Secondly I think there is nothing that can turn his base against him. He himself said he could shoot someone on fourth Avenue and not lose any support. He can literally make any stupid descion or do any kind of crazy act but his cult followers will never leave him. Its like a religion basically.

<|TOPIC|>NA<|ARGUMENT|>Post game, it should be the loser's decision to initiate congratulations, handshakes, declarations of good game , etc. The winner can then reciprocate, and should. If the winner initiates this, it can come across as rubbing it in, especially if it was a painful loss, or if the game was decided by dumb luck, or if the loser in some sense should have won, or if the winner won only because the loser defeated himself. If the loser does not congratulate the winner or shake hands or whatnot, it is a display of poor sportsmanship, sure, but forgivably so. It's a minor infraction, because the winner has the emotional upper hand. His feelings are not in need of sparing. He should take no offense. If anything, he should take satisfaction in having defeated such a competitive opponent, who takes losses so hard he can't bring himself to congratulate his opponent in the immediate aftermath. The proper response of a winner to a loser who offers no congratulations is to also say nothing, to respect the competitive flames which are continuing to burn in the loser's soul. A winner initiating good game is a worse offense to the gods of sportsmanship than a loser neglecting to initiate good game .<|ASPECTS|>painful loss, sparing, poor sportsmanship, worse offense, handshakes, emotional upper hand, competitive flames, feelings, losses, offense, reciprocate, congratulate, sportsmanship, loser 's decision, good game, minor infraction, competitive opponent, game, congratulations, dumb luck<|CONCLUSION|>

<|TOPIC|>NA<|ARGUMENT|>For the following reasons It dilutes the historical significance of the word. Perhaps black people initially called each other the N word to show brotherhood however, today it is often casually used interchangeably with words like bro, dude, or man. This trivializes its historical origin and makes it hard for non black people to believe it is truly offensive. It engenders resentment among white people who mean no harm. A white musician can't even perform a cover of a black rapper's song without censoring the lyrics, lest he face backlash. It aggravates racial tension by widening the linguistic rift. If language is a barrier, allowing one group to use certain terminology while barring another group from doing so exacerbates cultural separation. It is has become associated with some of the worst aspects of black culture, popularized by black entertainers who celebrate the thug lifestyle, gang violence, and drugs. In fact, it seems to me that the more affluent a black person becomes, the less likely they are to use the N word. No other minority group frequently refers to themselves by derogatory terms coined by their oppressors. You don't hear Asians call each other chinks, Mexicans don't call each other wetbacks, and Jews don't call each other kikes. Maybe it happens on occasion, but nowhere near to the extent that black people use the N word. In order to change my view, you need to make an argument showing the benefits of black people using the N word outweigh all the negative things I have listed. Just addressing one of my points is not sufficient. EDIT The word queer is not a counterpoint to 5. Gay people don't get offended by cis people using the word queer. It's completely different from the N word, which is one group of people using a word while telling another group they cannot use the word. The analogy is not at all appropriate.<|ASPECTS|>derogatory terms, n, worst aspects, brotherhood, cultural separation, gang violence, black people, counterpoint, benefits, analogy, drugs, backlash, queer, wetbacks, appropriate, negative things, gay people, resentment, historical significance, offended, minority group, offensive, thug, black culture, racial tension, linguistic rift, different, affluent, historical origin<|CONCLUSION|>

<|TOPIC|>NA<|ARGUMENT|>After having a dumb phone for so many years, I have found that I am able to accomplish all of my needs through it, a personal computer, and tablet. Paying the cell companies extra money in order to have a smartphone and access to the internet is a waste, especially since I have access to public, schools, home, and work WiFi spots. All of the tasks that would be considered productive on a smartphone can be accomplished from many other, cheaper devices. A laptop computer can accomplish anything a phone can at much faster speeds. I can use a GPS for maps and locations. I can use books and or a kindle to use for reading. Also, a smart phone lures you into the trap of always needing to be connected to the internet. As someone from the millennial generation, it is apparent and sad to see how social gatherings are spent around showing each other YouTube videos or looking at stuff on Facebook or Snapchat. Therefore, I see no productive reasoning for buying a smartphone aside from wanting to simply own something for the sake of looking cool being in the loop. Please , and also aim to convince me that despite already having a cellphone, laptop, and tablet that I personally should switch to a data plan.

<|TOPIC|>NA<|ARGUMENT|>I recently was banned from r HoldMyNip for reporting a post for animal abuse and commenting on it. The link was a gif of a cats trapped in a dryer. Even if there was no heat the dryer had to be on for the inside to be spinning the way it was. This is clearly a situation in which a cat would be under pretty severe duress. Am I wrong? It seems to me that whoever made the video has no problem being cruel to animals just to get a cheap laugh. After commenting I was shortly banned and received a message from the moderator calling me a complete idiot. If I am in fact being dumb then please someone enlighten me. Here are the links and an image of the message from the mod. Edit I said two cats. It looks like it is just one cat. Also It looks like there may be no door on this dryer but I honestly can't tell. Also apparently it was posted by the mod who banned me. Edit 2 I am not asking if I can be banned for something. I was already banned so obviously yes it exists within their wheel house. I am simply asking if being concerned for the welfare of a cat is just cause for being banned. I don't think it is. Even if I am wrong about the cat being in any amount of distress, that should not result in being immediately banned. Someone could easily just point out that the door is open and claim that this is enough to suggest that the cat is in no harm. That is fine. Instead I received abusive messages from the mod who also posted the gif.<|ASPECTS|>animal abuse, severe, idiot, duress, gif, distress, cats, spinning, cheap laugh, cruel to animals, one cat, door, heat, harm, dumb, abusive messages, house, welfare of a cat, banned<|CONCLUSION|>

<|TOPIC|>NA<|ARGUMENT|>For those unfamiliar, the FairTax is proposed tax reform in the USA that would essentially get rid of the income tax, and replace it with a federal sales tax of around 25 30 . To account for essentials, people would receive a prebate check once a month for the estimated cost of basic essentials, the value of which is based on the number of adults and children in your household. TL DR FairTax taxes consumption rather than income. My argument is that people find illegal immigration to be a problem because people are coming into the country, and using our government services without paying taxes. But with the FairTax, everyone pays taxes every time they buy anything. This removes the incentive to hide income, to have offshore accounts, and generally reduce the opportunities for tax fraud. People tend to think of the FairTax as just being tax reform, but it would also solve what people see as the major problem with the illegal immigrant population.

The majority of the founding fathers were slave owners, yet America eventually decided to change with the times.

<|TOPIC|>NA<|ARGUMENT|>I've come across this interesting concept in some personal conversations, and I find myself continuously returning to it and thinking, Huh, that might be something. My view is that people should not be entitled to having children that is people shouldn't automatically have the right to birth and raise a child. A quick disclaimer before the argument I do not believe this is a view that can be effectively legislated for, and I am not advocating for any program to enable this. I am posing a more philosophical and ethical argument. I fully understand the dangers of giving a group of people the power to artificially select those who can and can't have children, and I don't pose to be any kind of expert in any area related to such things. I will not discuss selection processes, nor preventative processes, except in the broadest of possible senses. Now, my points. It is immoral to force a conscious entity into existence. I think this is a principle many people feel in situations outside of human children. For example, I have asked several people a question along the lines of Is it moral to, assuming they are conscious, farm instantiations of artificial intelligence? Let's take this to a large real world scale, and say we have a thousand servers each storing a thousand AI, and these AI are sufficiently intelligent that, while it is unknowable, there is a possibility that the AI are conscious entities. Imagine that a company is trying to create a specialized AI for some problem they're trying to solve, and so they set their servers to work evolutionarily testing the AI until they produce one which solves the problem sufficiently. In essence, a million possibly conscious entities are being evaluated on their ability to solve a problem, and then discarded for a newer, better generation of a million AI. These servers are creating and destroying millions of instantiations of an AI which is possibly conscious in some way. Is this morally acceptable? I think not. These entities are being forced into existence and, to a first degree approximation, somewhat arbitrarily destroyed. I think that is something equivalent to a digital Holocaust, and I am not using that phrase lightly. Were those AI human brains, there is no doubt that we would find some practice of subjecting humans to a similar process to be hugely immoral. The principle here is that we are, essentially, exerting control over the life and death of a conscious entity. We don't find slavery or murder acceptable, so why would this be? We can take this principle and apply it to human babies. By having a child, you are creating a conscious entity you've taken control of its life. I am aware that we have children in order to continue the species, we are biologically designed to have children. But just because it's the natural course of things does not make it moral. I'm not of the inclination that the perpetuation of the species is an inherently good goal. Human life is frought with suffering and hardship. It is, until we somehow become all powerful, unavoidable. Every new human life also means new suffering. We find that inflicting suffering upon someone is immoral, and even allowing someone to suffer is widely considered immoral. Why would it be alright to enable suffering through the creation of the capacity for suffering as having a child does? Why is it okay to force people to live? If someone is already alive, then of course we should allow them agency over their body and life, and provide alleviation of suffering, but why should we be allowed to force something into a position where it must encounter suffering?What right does anyone have to do this?<|ASPECTS|>, right to birth, solves the problem, natural course, hardship, species, evolutionarily, force people to live, moral, powerful, ability, specialized ai, unavoidable, effectively legislated, life and death, destroying, intelligence, digital holocaust, human children, solve a problem, selection processes, good goal, immoral, taken, forced, life, destroyed, philosophical, unknowable, human babies, morally acceptable, entitled to having children, inflicting, slavery, ethical argument, conscious entities, conscious entity, new, biologically designed to have children, control, intelligent, murder, farm, agency, suffering, artificially select, okay, children, alleviation of suffering, arbitrarily, conscious, principle, ai, enable suffering, instantiations, capacity, preventative processes<|CONCLUSION|>

<|TOPIC|>ban the sale of surveillance technology to non-democratic countries<|ARGUMENT|>As much as the more liberal citizenry of many of the world’s democracies wish to believe otherwise, democracy as a system of government is not the only game in town. In fact, the growth of the strong-state/state-capitalism approach to government has gained much traction in developing countries that witness the incredible rise of China, which will before long be the world’s largest economy, flourish under an undemocratic model.1 Chinas ruling communist party have legitimacy as a result of its performance and its historical role reunifying the country.2 Democracies pretending they are the only meaningful or legitimate states only serve to antagonize their non-democratic neighbours. Such antagonism is doubly damaging, considering that all states, democracies included, rely on alliances and deals with other states to guarantee their security and prosperity. This has meant that through history democracies have had to deal with non-democracies as equal partners on the international stage, and this fact is no different today. States cannot always pick and choose their allies, and democracies best serve their citizens by furthering their genuine interests on the world stage. This policy serves as a wedge between democracies and their undemocratic allies that will only weaken their relations to the detriment of both. When the matter comes to surveillance technology, Western states’ unwillingness to share an important technology they are willing to use themselves causes tension between these states. Non-democracies have just as much right to security that surveillance technology can provide as the more advanced states that develop those technologies. 1 Acemoglu, D. and Robinson, J. “Is State Capitalism Winning?”.

I did, however, make this comment that was in a nutshell me saying I found the video funny but I didn't support it since it could cause more harm than I believed it was worth. People did not like this comment. Amusingly, people assumed I was old or a woman, and I am neither of those things. So point out where I'm wrong not about my sex but my opinion I'd love for me to be wrong than for the majority of redditors to be. My main problems with the video and videos like it are as follows Anyone can see the joke, including those with the disability I can accept that people with parkinson's might not care about such jokes especially if they are unrealistic portrayals of the disability , but I am unsure on this, which is why I err on the side of caution. It may propagate a culture in which jokes that are more directed at disabled people and objectively harmful are okay I don't like using an argument that is so close to the slippery slope fallacy, but, again, I don't think that loss of humour is significant, unlike what is usually argued to be sacrificed using the slippery slope fallacy e.g. Good laws for fear of bad ones .

<|TOPIC|>NA<|ARGUMENT|>I admit that I don't have much to say about this. The latter just seems so silly to me. In everyday language, a comma represents a small pause and a full stop represents a large pause. To be more specific, I think commas are traditionally used to separate clauses while full stops are used to separate sentences. Shifting from an integer to a fraction is a more conceptually significant change, and should be represented by a full stop. This makes more sense with regard to consistent use of commas and full stops. To define my terms when I say better I mean more intuitive, more sensical, etc etc. Obviously if you grew up in a culture in which the latter is more common, it's easier for you to use the latter.

<|TOPIC|>One nation under god, leave it in or take it out?<|ARGUMENT|>"composed by Francis Bellamy in 1892. The Pledge has been modified four times since then, with the most recent change adding the words "under God" in 1954. The Pledge is predominantly sworn by children in public schools in response to state laws requiring the Pledge to be offered. Congressional sessions open with the swearing of the Pledge, as do government meetings at local levels, meetings held by the Knights of Columbus, Royal Rangers, Boy Scouts of America, Fraternal Order of Eagles, Freemasons, Toastmasters International and their concordant bodies, other organizations, and many sporting events. The current version of the Pledge of Allegiance reads: I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.''- God was not mentioned by the founding fathers and the pledge has already been changed 4 times; changing it once again to include atheists as part of the American populous shouldn't be a problem.

I have put this question out there to some people on facebook. People I was thinking about unfriending because they were pro trump. They couldn't give me one example either. One person said he gave like 400,000 his 2nd quarter salary as president to charity. I did the math and since trump is worth 3.1 billion dollars, that's a joke. That's like someone who makes 100,000 a year donating 10. It's . 01 . Not too generous.

<|TOPIC|>NA<|ARGUMENT|>Obama is undoubtedly considered one of the highest regarded leaders in not only the African American community, but also in the United States. Therefore after he made the comments If I had a son, he would look like Trayvon and more recently The death of Trayvon Martin was a tragedy. Not just for his family, or for any one community, but for America, many people, whether they were black or not, became impassioned about this case. The trial became more about How far have we really come? in regards to civil rights than Is Zimmerman guilty beyond a reasonable doubt? I do think the case would have been covered heavily even if Obama had not commented, but I also believe he made it messier. If the president of the United States of America takes a side in a trial, the opposing side will be seen as nothing short of abhorrent in the eyes of his supporters. My view is that Obama's involvement in the case was divisive and further separated the gap between white and black in 2013 America. Note I don't want to seem annoying with another Zimmerman related , but I did not see one that directly related Obama when I used the search bar and I have a strong opinion about his role specifically.

Austria reduced it from 19 to 18 years, United Kingdom from 21 to 18 years, and the call for reductions is growing in many other countries.

My opinion it's not, as a photographed scene is not an expression of any kind of you own and the better the tools, the less skill you need . I don't mean to diminish photography, i like it. Art is a handcrafted expression through e.g. painting, sculpturing, writing or music. I really appreciate museums and other exhibitions, but when i see someone talking about an art exhibitions where photographs are shown i usually dismiss them. I get that photography can be artistic in the sense that they express some kind of emotion or feeling and i know im dismissing the medium of a digital photo, but for me it's not the same as a painting. edit It's my first time posting here, i'm sorry if i do something that's not 100 according to the rules. edit2 lol ya'll really didn't like this post.<|ASPECTS|>feeling, scenery photography, photographs, photography, artistic, better the tools, dismiss, like, sculpturing, skill, handcrafted expression, appreciate, diminish photography, art, less, emotion<|CONCLUSION|>

<|TOPIC|>NA<|ARGUMENT|>The problems that need fixing Teens being solicited and pressured for sexually revealing photos of themselves Teens being overly concerned with peers' opinions eg comparing themselves to Kim Kardashian Videos and pictures of sexual assaults being circulated amongst peers I feel like it would be an easy fix to a problem that today's teens are certainly having. Young people are facing more pressure than ever to make themselves look like the women and adults they see online and in media, and then document themselves looking that way. Kids cannot leak underaged photos of other kids if they don't all have cameras to take them with. We also commonly hear people bemoaning that people are too vain now, with endless selfies and updates. Without a camera, at least teens will not be overly focused on their appearances. Cameras and the apps that come with them are not essential to survival. I was raised without a phone until I was 16. I survived. Ok, change my view. Edit Clarification points I am not against teens using any sort of camera. I just think they should not have them on their phones. I don't think legal changes are the way to go I think parents should rally together to petition phone manufacturers to make smartphones without cameras.

<|TOPIC|>NA<|ARGUMENT|>I am 32M with an Associates Degree. I have no debt currently. I work as a server in an upscale restaurant. I am learning computer programming on my own to try to create a better future for myself, but I have a lot of people telling me it won't work is pointless unless I go back to school, which I can't do without taking on a lot of debt like a lot of people . I'll define success for the purposes of my statement. I believe success is making enough money to solve most of life's common uncommon issues. For example, if my dog requires an operation of around 3,000.00, I can't afford that, but a person who can, I would deem them successful. If my car breaks down tomorrow, I'll be taking the bus, whereas a successful person will pay to have their car fixed, or have purchased a new car before the old one dies. If I need to replace my roof after this winter, I won't be able to without taking on debt. And, like most Americans, I am one major health issue away from crippling medical debt. I maintain successful people have many problems, and that the ones I have listed are not on their radar. i.e. I am worried my dog may need surgery one day, but not worried about how I will pay for it. An obvious counter argument to this is that if I had less stuff, I would be able to pay for these things, or not need things at all. Becoming a monk in a cave might be an extreme example. I would maintain that the monk, people in large amounts of debt, or people with fewer possessions in general even in poverty certainly can be very HAPPY. But I would not consider them SUCCESSFUL. If my car dies and I convince myself I am perfectly happy taking the bus everywhere, I could consider myself happy, just not successful. So, without student loans, or other large forms of debt, I believe I will not become successful in my lifetime. I'm looking forward to someone changing my view<|ASPECTS|>success, better future, money, consider, extreme example, successful people, successful, problems, define, common uncommon issues, server, student loans, happy, associates, debt, need things, roof, upscale, pointless, become, health issue, 's, crippling, medical debt, pay, less stuff, afford, changing, poverty, need surgery<|CONCLUSION|>

<|TOPIC|>NA<|ARGUMENT|>I just had a long debate with my friend about this, and I came in with the thought that blacks and whites were genetically similar, but all the evidence seems to say otherwise. For example, African countries have horrible average IQs, and normally I would explain that with the fact that they're way less developed than the rest of the world. However, we can take a look at countries with similar or worse human development and see much better IQs, even Afghanistan has 84, which is much higher than the average African IQ. The southeast Asian countries would be another example of this, having similar HDI ratings, but much higher IQs. The most damning evidence that really changed my mind was that according to a study by Minnesota university, black children adopted by white parents STILL have lower IQs than white kids adopted by white parents. Even worse is that children with one black parent, but adopted by two white parents have a higher IQ than children with two black parents, but less than children with two white parents. wiki Minnesota Transracial Adoption Study It's really hard for me to believe that blacks have inherently lower IQs, and I really don't want to accept it.

<|TOPIC|>NA<|ARGUMENT|>I know that this topic has been covered before, but I've found myself lacking the answers I seek. I apologize in advance if anyone finds this topic redundant. Hate speech is defined as speech that attacks a person or group on the basis of attributes such as race, religion, ethnic origin, national origin, sex, disability, sexual orientation, or gender identity. I find this definition to be far too vague. By this definition, criticizing scientologists for stealing people's money could be considered hate speech. As could discussing biological differences between men and women. Banning hate speech would only entrench hateful people in their views. As soon as someone is silenced or targeted for their views, they are now the victims, which gives their views legitimacy. If a white supremacist is punished for speaking his mind, then he would see this as evidence of minorities taking away the white's rightful place as superior in society and further incite them to champion the white supremacy movement. If the goal is to create safe spaces, then banning hate speech is not the way to do it.<|ASPECTS|>hate speech, superior in society, hateful people, safe spaces, answers, white supremacy movement, victims, banning, white, minorities, biological differences, redundant, rightful place, views legitimacy<|CONCLUSION|>

Particularly the asteroid belt, which makes up such a large part of our solar system but is often overlooked. In fact, we are just more than a dot in comparison to the size of the asteroid belt The asteroid belt's vastness and closeness means it could support humanity for a long period of time.

I believe this because there's nothing unnatural about it, a woman at the age of 16 or 17 is usually pretty well developed and is fit for reproduction, and since pedophilia laws are partially based on development and reproduction it doesn't make sense for the age of consent to be 18. Furthermore, many countries have an age of consent of 16, including several developed European countries, and it doesn't really negatively impact them. This is especially true for religious families, where men and women can get married earlier and avoid sexual frustration.

Y starts to encourage itself and to bring their status equal to X, they boast about themselves, tell themselves how they are great, how they are strong, how they are unique, etc. Over time, Y creates a virtual 'wall' between X and Y, creating two separate identities. Once Y reaches equal status with X, they forget their movement was about equality and tries to get the upper hand. This triggers X and X starts to breed hatred and discrimination against Y. This leads to X trying to dominate Y. This in turn, triggers Y and Y struggles to dominate X. Plus, the fact that people generalize things a lot its my assumption , generalizes accusations against the other community, painting the whole community to be 'evil' and fueling more hatred among communities. With time, the initial objective to be treated as equal is forgotten, and the virtual wall, created to make themselves equal in the first place, gives rise to a cycle of hatred with both communities trying to dominate each other. I made this hypothesis watching men vs women, news about black vs white I'm not American , dalits vs upper castes I'm from India , rich vs poor, etc. So, what's wrong with my hypothesis? How dumb is it? Edit some of the comments point out that X itself created the 'wall' in the first place. My hypothesis is that this wall is 'illusory wall' in the sense that Y does not believe in that wall. If Y believed in that wall, there wouldn't have been a movement in the first place. The purpose of Y's movement, at least initially, is to get rid of the world and establish a world with equal treatment for Y and X. But with time, to improve self esteem in people of Y, Y's leaders encourage and celebrate their identity, thus cementing the illusory wall into a kind of real one. So, Y transforms the illusory wall between X and Y into a real one.<|ASPECTS|>dominate x, illusory wall, conflict, wall, oppressed, equal rights, separate identities, castes, personal experiences, discriminates against, communities x, equality, x, equal, equal status, world, dominate, oppresses, hatred, social conflicts, celebrate, equal treatment, identity, dalits, criticize, vs, dumb, movement, hatred among communities, discriminating against women, rich, cycle, discrimination, status equal, self esteem, unique<|CONCLUSION|>

<|TOPIC|>NA<|ARGUMENT|>I see other women having a decent time.They have children, they have boyfriends, they have worries but they are fairly typical. It seems boring but they are extremely happy from what I can tell. There is probably something wrong with me. I do like clothes I suppose and do likes being presentable but I do not like shopping and it is not a huge deal to me. I want to be normal. Like what do most other women major in? How do they not like Mathematics, Physics, Engineering and CS? What do most women do? For fun? How do other women have time to dedicate a lot of time to fashion and beauty and for it to be lucrative? How do other women not spend hours on a computer? What are their dreams? A lot of my social media friends are bartenders, beauty bloggers, office assistants in their mid twenties is this fulfilling? I already knew I was a freak when I was a child. I don't like rules. I don't like society. It is quietly against my goals. I am painfully honest and I treat everyone the same whether you are a clerk at CVS or an esteemed professor at Harvard. I don't think I am intelligent but somehow I found myself at Ivy Leagues and MIT. I want to inspire students like I was inspired but I don't think it's worth it. I feel I am less productive because I fantasize about what life could be like. I don't think I can have it all especially as a black woman. I am a commodity in my engineering field but in the real world it's not like it makes me more attractive to men probably less and more fun and relatable.<|ASPECTS|>treat everyone the, life could, wrong, like society, goals, painfully honest, women, fun, happy, lucrative, normal, spend hours, quietly, presentable, fashion and beauty, typical, ivy leagues, attractive, inspire students, dreams, fun and relatable, social, like, shopping, intelligent, boring, black woman, less, commodity, productive, decent time.they, fulfilling, worries, freak, worth, rules<|CONCLUSION|>

<|TOPIC|>Should Racial Profiling Be Banned?<|ARGUMENT|>Simply showing that certain races are statistically the subject of law enforcement action does not necessarily show bias as there are many confounding factors: the law enforcement action may be a legitimate response to actual crimes which occur unevenly across communities, or other non-racial factors that are associated with race, such as socioeconomic factors which predispose to crime, or negative attitudes towards police in certain communities.<|ASPECTS|>legitimate, negative attitudes towards police, bias<|CONCLUSION|>
| It is very difficult to tell from aggregate statistics for example, a police department's arrest records whether racial profiling is driving a racial disparity in arrest statistics.

<|TOPIC|>NA<|ARGUMENT|>I should mention I do not wear a fedora myself. However, when I read fedora bashing comments on Reddit, to me, the vitriol that comes across is kind of scary. Is it really that intimidating to these people that someone who might be a little socially awkward would want to use an accessory to help boost their confidence? I suspect the loudest anti fedora protestors to be the ones that most wish the freedom to don one themselves without fear of harsh judgement. I understand that, perhaps years later, the fedora crowd might look back and cringe a little at the way they approached their appearance. But I also think that looking back on one's own awkwardness is a nice healthy way to validate one's own personal growth, and that you need to commit mistakes in all ways of living in order to move on to something greater. It is often true that people who take chances are ridiculed for their failures in the present, but if they keep sticking with it, eventually find their own unique way to surpass, or at least become accepted by, the status quo crowd who mocked them. Very few people are born with an innate sense of style, and even fewer can look back on a 20 year old picture and think yeah this outfit would still look good today. So who is anyone to mock anyone else's sense of style, when eventually it's going to all look like brown and orange striped 70's style wide lapels and powdered blue ruffle shirts anyway? I will say that I have had a beard for many years, and for a very long time I did not properly trim it. I really, really wish someone had come along and told me not to shave directly along my jaw line. I wound up figuring that out on my own. So I understand the benefit of good ADVICE. Good advice would be to help a fedoran find the CORRECT hat. Or to offer fashion advice in other ways. Whenever I see people just losing their shit over the fashion accessories some total stranger is wearing, I just think that life is too short to start fuming over the way other people choose to look when they venture into the outside world. This just comes up so often on reddit and I'm sorry to add to the phenomenon here , I'm thinking maybe I'm missing something, and that I too should be personally offended by the way someone else dresses. I am willing to change my view if I hear a good enough argument.<|ASPECTS|>fedoran, fashion accessories, appearance, good advice, socially awkward, look good, cringe, scary, personal growth, sense of style, confidence, style, properly, beard, failures, harsh judgement, world, losing their shit, boost, offended, freedom to, status quo, shave, intimidating, change my view, personally, fedora, vitriol, commit mistakes, argument, benefit, sense, fashion advice, life is too short, correct hat, awkwardness<|CONCLUSION|>

<|TOPIC|>Kialo should separate voting into relevance and veracity of claim.<|ARGUMENT|>To define a God of classical theology to be basically the simplest thing imaginable is to define away everything that defines it as a God according to classical theology. There are no known mechanisms by which an unchanging nondescript simple thing with no moving parts can accomplish anything at all. That's not a God. It's more like an infinitesimal neutrino field without even a neutrino. Basically as close to nothing as anything can be. You might as well say God is nothing.<|ASPECTS|>god, infinitesimal neutrino field, god is nothing<|CONCLUSION|>
| An "Unmoved Mover" aka a being of Pure Actuality is not the same thing as God.

<|TOPIC|>NA<|ARGUMENT|>I apologize if this topic has already been discussed. I am fairly new to this sub and didn't see the topic mentioned under the Popular Topics Wiki. The idea of hell is very frightening to anyone with an imagination. Being tortured for eternity in a lake of fire is certainly something that would get a child's mind reeling. Now I'm not saying that talking about hell in itself is abusive, but calling it the truth to an impressionable child is down right terrifying. Now add to that the idea that the child's friends will all go there one day if they don't go to church and believe what the child is told is true, and you have a set up for a child that will be horrified if his her friends aren't the same as they are. Now imagine if one of those friends dies That child will have to conclude that the friend they were playing with just yesterday is screaming in torment and will be forever. In my mind that would be without a doubt traumatizing, to say the least. What if the child decides to think for themselves and question what they are being taught? Instinctively they will start to worry that they are not acting the way they should and could go to hell, therefore stamping out any hope that the child will go on to think for themselves in regards to religion, and to the extreme, about most anything they are brought up to believe. Maybe I'm preaching to the choir but I believe this very passionately since this was the case for me growing up and it terrified me continuously. Can anyone claim that this isn't psychological abuse?<|ASPECTS|>frightening, forever, 's mind reeling, religion, abusive, screaming in torment, new, terrified, think, question, hell, go, psychological abuse, terrifying, traumatizing, horrified, tortured, acting<|CONCLUSION|>
| I believe that teaching children that "Hell" is real and that non-believers will go there is child abuse.

<|TOPIC|>NA<|ARGUMENT|>When I hear people recovering from an addiction and going to NA or AA and calling their addiction a disease, I don't agree with them. A disease is a debilitating condition that cannot be chosen. People do not choose to have Alzheimer's or cancer, it is something their body produces and they have to live like that until they get medical treatment. I understand that the way neurotransmitters react with one another affects the severity of the addiction, but that is not a disease, it is a disorder. I am not sure how the new DSM classifies addiction, but when rehabilitation groups teach addicts that their behavior is a disease it gives them an excuse not to try and get better. Simply teaching addicts that they have a disorder will not only be beneficial to their treatment, it will be more medically accurate in my opinion. .<|ASPECTS|>medical treatment, live, addiction, cancer, beneficial, neurotransmitters, alzheimer 's, behavior, disorder, debilitating condition, medically accurate, severity, disease<|CONCLUSION|>
| I don't believe addiction is a disease.

<|TOPIC|>Should European Monarchies Be Abolished?<|ARGUMENT|>It's better to receive an award, medal etc from a monarch who has represented the country for decades rather than a career politician who represents their party; monarchs in contrast are non-partisan, reducing the alienation caused by the polarised nature of party-politics.<|ASPECTS|>alienation, non-partisan, party-politics<|CONCLUSION|>
| The monarch is a politically neutral figure who appeals to everyone and isn’t publicly partisan to any particular view.

Dataset Card for ConcluGen
Dataset Summary
The ConcluGen corpus is constructed for the task of argument summarization. It consists of 136,996 pairs of argumentative texts and their conclusions collected from the ChangeMyView subreddit, a web portal for argumentative discussions on controversial topics.
The corpus has three variants: topics, aspects, and targets. Each variation encodes the corresponding information via control codes. These provide additional argumentative knowledge for generating more informative conclusions.
Supported Tasks and Leaderboards
Argument Summarization, Conclusion Generation
Languages
English ('en') as spoken by Reddit users on the r/changemyview subreddits.
Dataset Structure
Data Instances
An example consists of a unique 'id', an 'argument', and its 'conclusion'.
base
Contains only the argument and its conclusion.
{'id': 'ee11c116-23df-4795-856e-8b6c6626d5ed',
'argument': "In my opinion, the world would be a better place if alcohol was illegal. I've done a little bit of research to get some numbers, and I was quite shocked at what I found. Source On average, one in three people will be involved in a drunk driving crash in their lifetime. In 2011, 9,878 people died in drunk driving crashes Drunk driving costs each adult in this country almost 500 per year. Drunk driving costs the United States 132 billion a year. Every day in America, another 27 people die as a result of drunk driving crashes. Almost every 90 seconds, a person is injured in a drunk driving crash. These are just the driving related statistics. They would each get reduced by at least 75 if the sale of alcohol was illegal. I just don't see enough positives to outweigh all the deaths and injuries that result from irresponsible drinking. Alcohol is quite literally a drug, and is also extremely addicting. It would already be illegal if not for all these pointless ties with culture. Most people wouldn't even think to live in a world without alcohol, but in my opinion that world would be a better, safer, and more productive one. , or at least defend the fact that it's legal.",
'conclusion': 'I think alcohol should be illegal.'}
topic
Argument encoded with the discussion topic.
{"id":"b22272fd-00d2-4373-b46c-9c1d9d21e6c2","argument":"<|TOPIC|>Should Planned Parenthood Be Defunded?<|ARGUMENT|>Even the best contraceptive methods such as surgical sterilisation can fail, and even with perfect use the pill may not work.<|CONCLUSION|>","conclusion":"Even with the best intentions and preparation, contraceptives can and do fail."}
aspects
Argument encoded with the discussion topic and argument's aspects.
{"id":"adc92826-7892-42d4-9405-855e845bf027","argument":"<|TOPIC|>Gender Neutral Bathrooms: Should They be Standard?<|ARGUMENT|>Men's toilets and women's urine have different odours due to hormone differences in each biological sex. As a result, the urine of one sex may smell much worse to the other sex and vice versa, meaning that it is logical to keep their toilet facilities separate.<|ASPECTS|>hormone differences, urine, separate, facilities, different odours, smell much worse<|CONCLUSION|>","conclusion":"Men and women, because of their different biological characteristics, each need a different type of bathroom. Gender-segregated bathrooms reflect and honour these differences."}
targets
Argument encoded with the discussion topic and possible conclusion targets.
{"id":"c9a87a03-edda-42be-9c0d-1e7d2d311816","argument":"<|TOPIC|>Australian republic vs. monarchy<|ARGUMENT|>The monarchy is a direct reflection of Australia's past as a British colony and continues to symbolize Australia's subservience to the British crown. Such symbolism has a powerfully negative effect on Australians' sense of independence and identity. Ending the monarchy and establishing a republic would constitute a substantial stride in the direction of creating a greater sense of independence and national pride and identity.<|TARGETS|>Such symbolism, The monarchy, Ending the monarchy and establishing a republic<|CONCLUSION|>","conclusion":"Ending the monarchy would foster an independent identity in Australia"}
