My Debate/Discussion format idea

-

The idea is to have a range of time of when the debate/the discussion would be ended, and then at the moderator's discretion the end of the debate/discussion would be executed within the range. It is for the sake of letting the parties debate freely without the restriction of particularities, so it would be like they would do it on the "streets". 

So instead of saying that the debate must finish in an hour, we have between 1 to 2 hours. Both parties would be given the same amount of time, but it would not be specified, one party started talking and then the other party answers, they would go back and forth freely as long as they don't talk over each other relatively speaking. Each time a party talked, their timer would be run, like chess, and eventually the moderator would end the debate by informing the party whose time is lower to match the speaking time of the other party. 

(When the speaking time for both sides have equalized, the debate were completed) 

Now... I know that defending an accusation needs more time than presenting one. However even having a lot of unanswered accusations could be a good thing if you could answer 1 or 2 in a user friendly and satisfactory way. If the audiences were engaged because of you, they would want to hear more. Plus people could point out that the other side wasn't giving out too much answers but focused on attacking too much. 

The moderator also play a crucial role in keeping the quality of the debate good.

Matthew 6:34, worries and the system of money

Jesus said "Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day [is] the evil thereof." ( http://www.blueletterbible.org/Bible.cfm?b=Mat&c=6 , 2013) Don't worry about tommorow At first I thought about this verse, I thought, should we throw all of our businesses away? If it were personal riches then it's debatable, but throwing away our businesses away? Wouldn't that be absurd, cause businesses are helping people. Well still figuring out that now, but I realize that Jesus wasn't only talking about personal wealth. But also about the wealth of the community, a country. Jesus was talking about how we about to do about our money. We have to admit, we are now liable to hyperinflation. Because we have the right to spend all of our money in the bank as well as other people. And if we were forced to do that all at the same time, then the economy would collapse. But we have the rig

Piracy and Expectation

-
If you use a lot of solutions without giving back to the source, You would be exposed to a system or to a world that's not supported by gratitude. The happiness that came from this world is unsustainable And if you hang on to it, the more you do the more your expectations would become unrealistic. So in order to truly become a blessing for your beloved people or person, Give thanks to your sources of solutions, Pay attention, and Create solutions to real problems that really exist in your reach. And if you keep doing it, the more your reach would extend. And with your sources of solutions together, you would have access to power that would allow itself to be focused by you.

The Golden Sticker v.07

-
So I have this idea to facilitate the culture of "giving back to the sources of solutions". The whole society should realize the importance of nurturing access to solutions. We've learned from global warming, that using solutions without giving back or nurturing the source of solutions would close or scarce the accesses of solutions for us in the future. Realizing this the society need to put on the spot, or question those who enjoy or use a lot of solutions, but doesn't have any receipts or any prove that he/she/it had performed some sort of maintenance or had paid back the source of solutions. When we buy something, we always could ask for a receipt. Now pirates don't get any receipts from software companies or from record companies. However people couldn't just come around and ask pirates to show them receipts... instead providers of solutions or conservation officials could issue stickers as prove of payments, or donations have been paid by receivers o
