Abortion as birth control should be illegal.

Hello, I know this is an old topic, but I like to debate it every now and then to get a fresh perspective on it. I have so far remained mostly against abortion...could someone on here be the one to change my mind? (I admit when it happens.) Let me be clear. I am not saying the clinics should be shut down. I am saying they should only give abortions to people who would either risk their lives to carry, or who were victims of rape or incest. I am arguing that abortion for the purpose of birth control should be illegal, for the following reasons: Social and Parental responsibility. --The message we send to our kids about respecting life and making good decisions. Equality --Men have no choice to either ask for or say no to an abortion, though they will always bear the legal responsibility of a child that is born. It takes one person to carry the baby, but you still need a man to make him/her. If a man wants their child to be born and has means to support it, is it right the mother can still go have an abortion? Lack of pity/sympathy --There are other options, such as the morning after pill, condoms, withdrawal, IUD's, and etc. Seeking an abortion, particularly past the first trimester, is the ultimate reflection of irresponsible behavior and we should treat it as such. Respond however you like to debate. I will work my argument around yours.

Rules: We have 3 rounds to post raps, starting in round 2. No line limit. The raps MUST be original freestyling. Swearing is not permitted, but too heavy x words equals non-creativity and it's also boring when you're just reading the raps. The goal is to dis the opponent the best using literature analysis (innovative metaphors, pick up lines, similes, etc.) while keeping the flow and rhyme. Don't take anything really personally; it's just for fun. We haven't done this in a while so it may look odd in the current DDO settings but readers, enjoy! Voters: Conduct goes for whoever had most impressive lyrics. No conduct is needed in this debate LOL. Spelling and Grammar does not matter either so judge that on whoever you thought had more even lines and better rhymes. Convincing arguments goes to best rapper overall. Sources vote will remain the same, but sources ARE NOT REQUIRED. LET THE RAP BATTLE BEGIN!
Two plus two is equal to four.

My opponent states that I must prove 2 + 2 is not equal to 4; thus, I must give one instance or scenario in which two plus 2 + 2 is not equal to 4. However, my opponent has not specified what "2" is. Is it 2 airplanes? How about 2 bombs? Perhaps it is 2 fruits. Since he has not specified what "2" is, it is my job to do so. Since I have to give at least one scenario where 2 + does not equal 4, then I will use the following scenario to prove my point; 2 hydrogen atoms + 2 oxygen atoms = 1 hydrogen peroxide compound [1]. In the first chart, you will notice that it says the molecular formula for the compound, "hydrogen peroxide" is H202. The number "2" after the letter "H" signifies that there are 2 hydrogen atoms. Likewise, then number "2" after the letter "O" signifies that there are 2 oxygen atoms; therefore, 2 hydrogen atoms + 2 oxygen atoms = 1 hydrogen peroxide compound. In conclusion, I have shown that 2 hydrogen atoms + 2 oxygen atoms = 1 hydrogen peroxide and does not equal 4 as my opponent seemed to believe.Thank you. [1] http://www.mikeblaber.org...

Pornography should be allowed on DDO

Definitions: Pornography - pictures and/or videos depicting nudity, and/or sexual activities DDO - debate.org, this website The new owners of this site are looking for community feedback for a new ToS. Many people feel that pornography should not be allowed on debate.org, but a few, including lovelife, do not feel the same. Since this is a debate site, I challenge lovelife to affirm the resolution that "pornography should be allowed on DDO."
Gay marriage is unnatural

My"Thanks for your reply.First, I'm not calling that gay marriage is unnatural."Omg! THe sun rises in the east and sets in teh west! I NEVER KNEW!! It's an epiphany!! Your intro on round 1 already establishes your point of view. Additionally, I never accused to of calling gay marriage unnatural. "Second, you said that not only gay marriage was not natural, all marriage was unnatural."Yes I did, I further backed this point with logical reasoning too.. :)"Marriage is the human sample for monogamous commitment. If animals could marry, then they would marry. There are many species have monogamic relationships, such as mandarin ducks."If animals can marry they would.. hmm, looks to me to be perfectly reasonable except that you forgot to back this up with evidence or logical reasoning, woops! I can make all the claims in the world.. doesn't make it anymore convincing until I've backed it up with sound premises/contentions.Humans are really cybernetic beings controlled by microscopic ducks residing in proportionally large offices within the orifices of the brain. As you can see, I fail to truly support this statement.Now if I had provided logical reasoning (which is founded on semantics in many cases) or linked several important research sources and studies along with pictures, this wouldn't seem so silly. THe problem is that none such exists, therefore, I cannot support my statement. Similarly, you have failed to back your statements."Clearly, we all know that animals don't have ceremony."Marriage is a type of ceremony. Animals don't have ceremony, animals don't marry, What's you point? " My point is that gay marriage is equally natural to the homosexuality." Incoherent statement. If I interpreted it correctly, then my question would be:How did you get from animals don't marry to homosexuality is natural? In fact, what the hey did this entire paragraph about monogamy and ducks have to do with homosexuality's naturalness? My opponent fails to establish correlation of several unsupported statements to his side of the resolution.Con still fails to clearly establish gay marriage as being natural.

Gay marriage is unnatural

I'm ready to hear your argument on how marriage is natural. I will establish my case too. :)While you are here touting gay marriage as unnatural, I will contend that not only is gay marriage unnatural, marriage and subsequent ceremonies of any kind are also unnatural.What is natural? Here are some definitions from merriam webster:natural - occurring in conformity with the ordinary course of nature [1]natural - growing without human care; also : not cultivated [1]nature - humankind's original or natural condition [2]Google definition:AdjectiveExisting in or caused by nature; not made or caused by humankind. [3]As according to these definitions, marriage itself, gay or not, is unnatural. Marriage, in contradiction to natural, is of human contrivance. This alone debases it from the state of natural. To call it natural would be to shirk the definitional clauses which constitute the word itself. It would be like calling a fat man a skinny man and vice verse. It simply isn't true (I don't think I have to source the definition of fat/skinny)." A man should get married with a woman and they have a baby."While reproduction itself is a natural thing.. all organisms intuitively go through some form of this, marriage is not. Of all the millions of species of living organisms in the world, the human being is the only one that practices marriage. Marriage is derived from religious union endowed by some religious lead (a monk/father, a priest, sources of divinity in the case of asian nations, etc. etc.) Once again, all this goes against the classification of marriage under natural. So what if people say it is natural. People say lots of things. I could google thousands of absurd claims and select a few of the silliest ones and show them here as an example, but I will leave that to you. If you are not Christian, I can tell you assuredly that there are people who claim christianity is true and real. THere is no real evidence to this claim. If you are not muslim, I can tell you that people swear to Allah's authentic existence. Proof? If you weren't Ancient Chinese, I would tell you people believed in a divine emperor and empress who live in the sky. Proof??? People say things. Toilets are hairy animals that like to take strolls in parks. My statement of this absurd claim doesn't make it any more true. It's still false.Similarly, people say marriage is natural. People also claim gay marriage should be natural. As I've proven with my earlier paragraphs, neither of these statements are true.[1] http://www.merriam-webster.com...[2] http://www.merriam-webster.com...[3]http://www.google.com...Good luck! diepotato
Gay marriage is unnatural

Some people said that gay marriage was unnatural. They said that marriage was natural only between a man and a woman, because of the reproduction. A man should get married with a woman and they have a baby.That is a natural relationship. THAT's NOT TRUE. As we all known, a woman could not have a baby later than about 51 years old, because of the amenorrhea. They still can get married with a man if they want. Why is a homosexual couple not allowed to get married? It is not unnatural.
that wesker is better than alice in the resident evils

my opponent said that wesker is all that so that says he is all that which means that he says wesker is better than Alice when people hear resident evils they usually think the games not the movies and Alice is not in the games. my opponent says that Alice took down umbrella but what about wesker he is the CEO of white umbrella and is planning his next attack. when my opponent said that Alice brought down umbrella but in fact if you read the book or 4th game it says that umbrella was brought down by the stock market crash. there are also books and games that mention wesker and not Alice he never said anything about Alice dying twice and wesker not even once or that wesker is the first one to have the t-virus and not turn into a zombie.
This poem is a love poem

If I'm clever, then there's no point in you trying to argue my cleverness, as you have surely used your subconscious to bite yourself in the rear this time around. Again - you cannot argue love. It comes in many different shapes and sizes because it's subjective. Nothing else needs to be said, because it's a lose/lose debate - you can't debate what we see in an every day cloud - it's lunacy.
