We should keep out illegal immagrants and secure our border

Hmm, really? That's interesting, given merely 53% of Americans pay taxes and I might be wrong (But I doubt it), but 53% of America's population is not made up of immigrants.. The fact that they are eager to work with crops and clean just about everything allows us to buy cheaper food and better services, affording us even more money to invest. It"s not the immigrants, but the taxes, spending and entitlements ( whichmost immigrants don"t receive) that have drained the economy dry. Also, some the ones that want to come here to better themselves do in fact pay taxes. You complain that you'll have to "pay the price" but as I said, They do pay taxes, and the people who you have to support are people who find temselves in jail, people who are on social security (Like food stamps and such, but statistically, immigrants are not the people who most need/use these aids), health care, and national defense. The people who are waiting in line, will be in that line from 7-10 years, to do things "legally' and have a very low chance of actualy getting citizenship. While, crossing the boarder without permission is just a misdemeanor, and once they have crossed, they do not wish to go back to their respective country of origin, so they pretty much follow the law.
We should keep out illegal immagrants and secure our border

I believe that illegal immigrants should be kept out of our country. They hurt our economy and are an overall bad thing for us. I know that they are just trying to get a better life, but what makes them better then the people that are doing the same thing, except that they are waiting in line? The illegal immigrants just cheat and budge ahead of everyone. They don't pay taxes, and they get to be on our welfare system. This overpowers the balance between people who pay taxes, and people who don't. If you have more people not paying takes then people who do, then those people who do, get overwhelmed with supporting those who don't pay. I believe that illegal immigrants are bad for our country and we should try harder to keep them out. The argument for helping them will be all about emotions and feelings, but you cant run the world on emotions. Even if they are trying to find a better life, they need to wait in line, like everyone else, instead of having us literally pay the price.

One last thank you for outstanding good conduct and respectful disagreement.As the following statements of my opponent are not relevant to this debate but would be the subjects of completely different debates, they will not be addressed except by allusion which may or may not be seen in my arguments:1)"What about the other 68.5% of the world [1]? Are they automatically doomed to the hell fire?"The topic of this debate is "Atheistic Military Men". This debate is not about the other 68.5 percent of the world population.2) "Christianity is extremely outnumbered as a religion."Again, though this statement is true, it is not relevant to this debate. The debate is not about popularity of any religion.3 ")I issue a challenge to you PRO. Show me anywhere in the past, backed up with evidence, that God has smiled the non believers" This challenge could be the topic of another debate. I would argue that God executes a death penalty against all unbelievers so all unbelievers are smitten by God, My opponent would probably argue as an atheist that nature or circumstance causes the death and God has nothing to do with it. That is not the argument of this debate, though it is addressed in the illustration I have used throughout this debate.In the illustration, the Marine is not complacent as my opponent implied, but is confidently camouflaged, hidden, and the combatant does not believe the Marine is there because he can't see the Marine. The Marine is poised to take out the combatant at any moment, but for whatever reason chooses to watch the fool parading in front of him rather than to take him out.Now elaborating and embellishing the illustration, let's suppose the Combatant is shouting things like "when I see a Marine, I'm going to kill him!" "I have five kids at home to feed and two elderly parents I care for, I give all I have to keep them safe and healthy and no Marine can be as good of a person as me" "I risk my life to save my friends and family, I volunteer my time caring for orphans and wounded pets, no Marine has the right to tell me what to do" "I'm better, stronger, braver, kinder, and more honorable than any fat cat American Marine who thinks he is better than me because he has big American guns behind him." "Marines are stupid, I'll kill them all". The hidden Marine chuckles to himself with his finger on the trigger and a dagger in his other hand, but then realizes....that guy is so much like me, I don't want to kill him, the poor fool......but as an enemy, he is still vile to the Marine and not innocent.....BOOM! Goodbye, fool.You see, the Marine in this illustration is God. The enemy combatant is my debate opponent. It is not possible for the enemy combatant to shoot the Marine in the face: the Marine will take him out first. The fool has said in his heart, "There is no God".

Although I have fulfilled my BOP, I will continue this debate thoughout the next round to speed us along to the voting round.You're saying that no matter what we do, we're all vile, evil people? But the only way that we're going to find salvation is if we accept Jesus into our lives and hearts, we can be saved? What about the other 68.5% of the world [1]? Are they automatically doomed to the hell fire? Christianity is extremely outnumbered as a religion.I did not ignore the illustration, I simply wrote it off as not important. Of course an enemy combatant will shoot a complacent Marine in the face if he/she gets too close. Just like a venomous snake will bite a weary hiker as he/she walks on top of it. Those things are known that will most likely happen. I issue a challenge to you PRO. Show me anywhere in the past, backed up with evidence, that God has smited the non believers. There is only one stipulation. You can't use a fictional piece of writing.[1] http://www.pewforum.org...

Again, kudos to my opponent for a honorable, reasonable, respectful and civil debate. First, I want to point out that my illustration of a proud, brave, enemy combatant parading around boastfully in front of a well camouflaged Marine is entirely relevant to this debate. My opponent seems to be trying to ignore the illustration by calling it irrelevant. The fact that we cannot see God with our eyes does not mean He is not there. It is not wise to parade around in front of God saying how good we are and what great things we have done while we say in our hearts that God is not there only because we cannot see Him with our eyes. How long will it be before His tolerance of the unbeliever or his amusement with the unbelievers ignorance gives way to His anger when all He wants is for the unbeliever to believe and surrender to Him so He can show His mercy and let the former unbeliever have eternal life? In this paragraph, I hinted at my opponents key objection which is his assertion that some or many atheists are not corrupt and their deeds are not vile and they have not done abominable iniquities. This is going to be a hard pill to swallow, and it probably will cost me the debate though it is true and should win the debate for God: There is none that does good, we are all corrupt, and we have all done abominable iniquities.....the best of us, the worst of us, the smartest of us and the dumbest of us......we are all guilty of breaking God's law, and any breaking of God's law is vile, corrupt, abominable, and disqualifies us from goodness because we have all gone bad and the corruption of badness is in our blood. By nature we are no good. The tiniest though of hatred toward another person is murder in God's viewpoint, the tiniest desire to have something that does not belong to us is theft in God's viewpoint, the tiniest lustful look on a woman we are not married to is adultery in God's viewpoint. These are all vile acts if even only in thought, these are all abominations in God's viewpoint, these are all born of the corruption that is in our nature which is against God. No matter how much good a person does, no matter how moral of a life that person lives, no matter how accomplished that person is, in God's judgement that person is corrupt and their record is nothing but one big black mark against their nature For a good, moral, honorable man to say in his heart "There is no God", the man, created by God, is making a fool of himself in front of God and is in danger of God's wrath which He promises to execute with fire of Hell against His adversaries.

I believe my opponent failed to read that bible verse in its entirety. I will post it again for clarification. "The fool[a] says in his heart, “There is no God.”They are corrupt, their deeds are vile;there is no one who does good." You cannot pick and choose what you'd like from the bible to make it work for what you want. Either you follow all of it, or you follow none of it, else you're a hyprocrite. As for me, I choose not to live in a time where if your wife cheats on you, you can take her into your front yard and stone her to death. I have fulfilled my BOP by citing examples of some non-foolish Atheists. I have also fulfilled my BOP on the bible quote by giving examples of Atheists aren't inherently evil or vile, and I've posted links to atheists who have done good things for the world and their individual countries.Although PROs short stories are true, they do not pertain to this debate.

Kudos to my opponent for a fine and civil debate.After my opponents long list of definitions for the word "fool", and the lengthy explanations of intelligent behaviour and inventions of very smart people, and his impressive story of personal heroism simply for the principal of doing the right thing in returning a person's valuable belongings, I have to ask if my opponent read the first paragraph of my Round 2 argument. I thought I clearly recognized my opponent's wisdom as well as the wisdom of many others who do not believe in God. The debate is not about wise living or wise behaviour in the world, and I personally do not need the word "fool" defined for me. The debate is about the attitude of one's heart toward God. No matter how intelligent, wise, or well mannered and well behaved a person is, if that person says in his heart "There is no God", that person is a fool.I guess my opponent did not understand my illustration of a fool on the battlefield, so I will use the same illustration with some slight changes which do not change the moral of the story. The slightly edited version of the Round 2 story is this:An enemy combatant is stomping around bragging about how brave, strong, and smart he is, unaware that a Marine is fully camouflaged and invisible in the surroundings even though the marine is close enough to the enemy combatant to quickly and easily disable the enemy combatant. As the unaware man boasts of how brave, strong, and smart he is, the hidden Marine chuckles to himself seeing how foolish this man is behaving. Surely he had been warned that Marines were in the area, but he didn't see any so he felt like blowing off some steam to ease his stress. The Marine could easily take the man out and then disappear, but he chooses to wait....the guy is funny after all, completely unaware that a Marine who he is making fun of and claiming victory over is near enough to take him down in a heartbeat. This is the picture of a fool and a Marine, and it can well be applied to the atheist and God.God really does not want to deny life from the atheist........to God, the atheist is a bit funny though it does make God angry to watch the atheist going around saying God is not there and insulting God. God knows the atheist will have to face Him soon, one way or another, and no matter how smart, wise, well mannered, or honorably behaving the atheist is, in God's sight he is a fool. It is a terrible thing to fall into the hands of The Living God. This is why the Bible says "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom". The combatant in the above story is clearly a fool, but he may also have been extremely intelligent and accomplished by all worldly standards. The debate is about the attitude of the heart toward God, not the degree of intelligence, skill, or accomplishment of an individual. It does not take a lot of Bible verses to show the atheist is a fool.....it only takes common sense.
Atheistic Military Men are Proud Brave Fools if not obedient cowardlly fools, and they can be mean.

To begin, I'd like to post the definiton of fool. "noun 1. a silly or stupid person; a person who lacks judgment or sense. 2. a professional jester, formerly kept by a person of royal or noble rank for amusement: the court fool. 3. a person who has been tricked or deceived into appearing or acting silly or stupid: to make a fool of someone. 4. an ardent enthusiast who cannot resist an opportunity to indulge an enthusiasm (usually preceded by a present participle): He's just a dancing fool. 5. a weak-minded or idiotic person." [1]We will ignore the second, third, and fourth definiton, as they do not pertain to the context of this debate, however the first and fifth do.To take a little piece of the Bible Verse wouldn't do said verse justice, therefore I will post the verse in its completeness and discuss the complete verse. "The fool[a] says in his heart, “There is no God.”They are corrupt, their deeds are vile; there is no one who does good." [2]According to the first quote, a foolish person is one who is silly, stupid, or lacks any sort of common sense. And the second quote leads those who read it to believe that fools are immoral or evil in nature. I will discuss as to why atheists in general do not fall into either one of those categories.According to an article written on 20130912 [3] studies began in 1921 where the scientists took a rather large test group of 1,500 children with I.Q. scores of 135 or higher and followed them throughout their lives to determine how many followed a religious path or tended to believe that there were no gods, nor religion that was true. They took the facts, laid them out for themselves and decided that religion wasn't a good choice for them.There are many atheists who are known for amazing works of science and technology [4].By disproving that all atheists are silly, stupid, or lack common sense, I have fulfilled my BOF for the first type of fool.Onto the second type of fool. The type that lacks morals or is inherently evil in nature. (I'm running out of space, I'll keep this short)Atheists are not inherently immoral or even evil. There are people all across the globe who are of all different religions or lack thereof and backgrounds who have done evil unspeakable things. To complete the BOP all I need to do is show that there are good Atheists in the world. I will show this by directing your attention to link #4 and with a short story.When I was a child of 12 years old I found a purse on the sidewalk of my small little town. I instantly opened up the wallet and saw approximately $400. I searched the rest of the day to return the wallet.[1] http://dictionary.reference.com...[2] https://www.biblegateway.com...[3] http://www.independent.co.uk...[4] http://en.wikipedia.org...

Ok, thank you, sir, for accepting this challenge.To start with, I want to say I'm sure my opponent is wise by all worldly standards. Jesus Himself referred to unbelievers as wiser than the children of light (believers) because unbelievers are adept at survival while those who believe they have eternal life can tend to take survival for granted too much. This causes them to lose their fighting edge and act lazily when time is so short and the battle for men's souls is so fierce. The topic of this debate is about one's heart-attitude toward God, implying a wise man can be a fool.The reason the Bible calls atheists fools (Psalm 14:1) is simple......saying there is no God cannot dispel God, and God can't be happy with people who are trying to dispel them from their thoughts and lives. God will always be against people who are against Him, and it is a terrible thing to fall into the hands of The Living God. If I am an enemy combatant, and I walk around in front of my opponent saying my opponent is not there and not even bothering to aim my weapon at him because I am convincing myself that he is not there, my opponent would probably laugh at me, or chuckle a few times, and then eliminate me from any further potential to harm anybody or anything he is protecting. I think it's safe to say God is not different in this. He really does not want to eliminate anybody from life, but if they don't surrender to Him, what choice does He have? The fool has said in his heart, there is no God.

Rules. .. .. .. No vulgarity or sexually explicit comments. Using the word "Hell" as anything other than a noun which describes a literal place of fiery torment in this debate will be considered vulgarity. Cursing in this debate will be considered vulgarity. Violations of these rules are bad conduct and votes must agree. This is expected to be a heated debate between manly men (unless my opponent is a coward or effeminate, which I don't think he is), and the assertion of the title calling atheists "fools" should not affect conduct points against me since it is the topic of the debate. My opponent by agreeing to accept this challenge agrees to follow these rules and is free to call me a fool without fear of loss of conduct points. He may also call me proud and brave. Name calling outside of these boundaries should be considered for bad conduct and may result in loss of conduct points. Calling my opponent corrupt or a sinner should not be considered bad conduct as long as I call myself corrupt or a sinner at the same time. The only assertion I am arguing in this debate is that atheists are fools. I specified atheistic military men in hope of provoking my opponent to argue. My opponents military service is highly respected and appreciated, no derogatory comments against military service are allowed in this debate or in the comments. I cannot control the comments, but any derogatory comments against military service will be reported as insulting and harassing. If you love your freedom, thank a veteran. "Thus be it ever when free men shall stand, between their loved homes and the war's desolation" I respectfully issue this challenge. Psalm 14:1

Athough Pros stories are vivid and detailed, what pro is descibing is not foolishness, rather arrogance and complacency."ar·ro·gancenoun \: an insulting way of thinking or behaving that comes from believing that you are better, smarter, or more important than other people" [1]"com·pla·cen·cy : a feeling of being satisfied with how things are and not wanting to try to make them better : a complacent feeling or condition1 : self-satisfaction especially when accompanied by unawareness of actual dangers or deficiencies 2 : an instance of usually unaware or uninformed self-satisfaction" [2] In Conclusion: I have fulfilled my BOP by giving examples of how not all atheists are fools and how not all atheists are vile, evil, creatures. I have refuted all my opponents arguments. Since my opponent didn't bring anything new to the table in the final round, neither will I. Best of luck to my opponent in the voting round.

Death Note

First of all deduction* Secondly, my argument is that Death note is stupid because the whole series relies on L using deductive reasoning that is impossible to deduce, so much so that L could only use such reasoning if he was a psychic. I never said you said he was psychic. Basically the flaw I saw was, Death note tries to be cleaver, but makes impossible leaps using ridiculous deductive reasoning. I literally turned off the show many times because I couldn't swallow the bull shitt.
Death Note

I agree that once L died I was really disappointed, I like the other characters too though (Nate River and Miheal Kheel) L didn't really make any unrealistic theories, He had a hunch, he went with it, and boom, he solved the case. What's been achieved: the series is over, the bad guy is dead, and the whole series itself was amazingly entertaining to watch. It's a terrific anime and I love it. The plot was flawless, original, funny, and the characters were all so diverse and brilliant I just see no real problem with it, everyone was upset at Death Note's ending, and L's death but at the end of the day it added drama.
Death Note

It's alight until L dies, then it gets really stupid. As I watched through the anime I noticed how L made some unrealistic deductive reasoning, I noticed how it was impossible for him to come to some of the conclusions he did. After L died everything went to pot. Two wannabie Ls come out of nowhere and begin making insane assumptions, that turn out to be true. After a lot of planning and fool proofing the whole ending goes to pot Light Yagami dies like a bit**. And I'm left wonder why did I waste my time watching this. What has been achieved? I'd rather just watch fairy tail or something.
Developing countries should prioritize environmental protection over resource extraction

Thankyou for accepting my view that economic development is going to kill us all . Any "green Ideas" about saving the planet are just shifting the deck chairs on the Titanic. Developing countries need all the cash they can get and exploiting their resources in any way they can will satisfy whatever Immediate agenda they have. We are human beings and will continue to demolish the environment in whatever short term gain that gives us.
