Repeal The 200 Year Old Second Amendment - NO Civilian GUNS USA - Bann Guns

This is not a game, NO ONE WINS BUT WE ALL LOOSE. A suggestion that we have "in-store security to recognize the mentally unstable" coupled over with allusions to Shooting Holes in me, having a right to Kill a thief who enters your home are all grossly speculative and allay layers of risk, breaches of civil liberty and privacy, and high potential for misinterpretation. I begs a society, even pleads that everyone live on edge, at milk bars, in school musicals, at parties, for the indications that someone has weird body language, strange behaviors. I am sorry, but your arguments of assessing mental capacity have been addressed above as in Pro, round 2 point 7. The only solution is to CHANGE. As suggested in Pro round 2 point 5 & 6. As provided in Pro round 2 points 1- 4 America is at a state of flux and stress about an rule made hundreds of years ago. This is a good thing. Change only happens when something is not right. The NRL fight is causing America to be STUCK in a state of Transition. Stand down and Grow Up. Thank you Lots of love and respect to all the families and friends. We, in other countries see a stark problem in inherent social stress and fear, where Violence does not fix Violence, but creates a bigger explosion. Please remember, WE ALL LOOSE. NO ONE WINS This is not a game May the people who have fallen never be forgotten and the loved ones left behind stay in our hearts And may we Go In Love And Peace
Repeal The 200 Year Old Second Amendment - NO Civilian GUNS USA - Bann Guns

When I said blow a hole in his case I was referring metaphorically to his debate case and the holes that I have pointed out in his case. It is his own fault for so wrongly interpreting a simple metaphor. To say that all gun owners fantasize about taking life when they are challenged is a false stereotype being used to scare people into believing we need too banned guns. While I do not personally own a gun I know serval people who have guns who have been put in stressful situations and did not start murdering the people are anyone that put them in that situation. They handled the situation calmly and like an adult, not a kid. Please stop judging someone because they own a firearm it is just like also being negative and living in fear. Also, this is like stereotyping someone because of their skin tone the last thing we need as a country is more prejudices. Besides after talking to many well-educated people in my community when asked if they would repeal or amend the second amendment they all said amend because there is no way to get rid of guns completely regarding the civilian aspect. I would like to remind everyone of the weighing mechanism which is on balance, and I would like to ask that they disregard my opponent's last argument because of the way my opponent misinterpreted a simple metaphor. I would also like to take a moment to point out that my opponent never answered any of my questions form round two and that they did not fully attack my case.

History is a cycle rather than linear

For this debate I will be trying to prove that History (as in the history of mankind, no dinosaurs or anything) acts in a cycle rather than linear progression (each generation becoming better than the last). The three ways this can be broken down to is; Examples of History repeating itself and disproving linear progression, religious and philosophy wise, and scientifically evidence and outside impacts. My first point will be examples of history repeating itself and disproving linear progression. On a small scale, one can look at how one individual culture repeats itself, for example Ancient China. Ancient China consist mainly of rising dynasties gaining control, revolution, then the dynasty losing power, this is called the dynastic cycle. Something similar to the dynastic cycle also occurs in Ancient Egypt, the rise of a strong government, collapse of order, reform and new cultural and societal changes, this happens three times and is described as the Old Kingdom, Middle Kingdom, and New Kingdom. Within these cycles of rise and fall there are ages of supreme knowledge and prosperous culture, Golden ages, and there are ages of decline. In Ancient China, the Zhou dynasty lasted over 700 years, while the Qin Dynasty lasted less than two decades. There is also a middle scale that represents the cycle of entwined cultures. An example of a golden age was when great cultures such as the Greeks and Phoenicians had wide spread trade and cultural diffusion was in high occurrence. There was also a time when everyone forgot what they had discovered and went back to monarch governments and less sophisticated times, in the East, this was known as the dark ages. The last scale is global. Because human history is relatively short, there are few examples of this but this is what I believe to be golden ages of achievement; the development of agriculture, religion, writing, government, and eventual global interactions and spread of ideas from one culture to the next. Even in the short history of the United States, there have been multiple "golden ages" and times of decline, such as the great depression. Showing that cultures have had their ups and downs, a pattern is formed, thus creating a cycle in which history tends to follow.

"As people saw for themselves how happy and healthy Louise Brown and Elizabeth Carr were, their fears of "Frankenbabies" began to disappear. Many other social concerns failed to materialize; test tube babies were not shunned, and far from destroying the traditional family, the effects of IVF were often conservative. In the words of biologist Lee Silver, "here"s a technology which is almost always used to allow a married man and woman to have a child, to form a family. ... So IVF facilitates a very, very traditional outcome, which is a mother and a father and children." "American Experience: TV's Most-watched History Series." PBS. PBS. Web. 28 Apr. 2016. Everyone should be allowed to do IVF. It is their choice whether they want to take the risk or not.

IVF is especially important to women who want to have kids later on in life. "If you want to have more than one child via in vitro fertilization, your doctor can harvest several eggs and freeze them for a later procedure.

"Before starting treatment, consider your own stance and what you would be comfortable with.

There will always be a possibility of something going wrong, but that doesn't mean you should take this special opportunity from a couple wanting a child. "Although this would be a disappointing outcome, it is useful to be able to uncover such problems so that solutions can be reached for future treatment with ICSI (Intra-Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) is a specialized laboratory technique that has revolutionized treatment for fertilization problems, and in particular, male factor infertility, since its introduction in 1992.)" 1 in 6 couples will suffer infertility problems and sometimes these remain undiagnosed after investigation.

According to Create-fertility's article "the Advantages and Disadvantages of IVF" there is a high possibility of failure, with just 25% of cycles resulting in a live baby. There is a chance of side effect, such as severe ovarian hyper stimulation syndrome (OHSS) ("the Advantages and Disadvantages of IVF" April 27, 2016). Multiple pregnancies because of accidental placement of another embryo have been resulted as 25-30% of all IVF pregnancies ("the Advantages and Disadvantages of IVF" April 27, 2016). As stated in "the Advantages and Disadvantages of IVF", there's a higher risk of ectopic pregnancy, which is a pregnancy in which the fertilized egg implants outside the uterus.
Whats the best cartoon dog? scoob (pro) or snoopy (con)

You're actually wrong my statement does prove Scooby is retarded and ill tell you why. It gives the impression that Scoobys IQ is to that of a retarded by making Snoopy look so much more superior in intellect that it dwarfs scoobys. I would also just like to say that Scooby really doesn't help the gang. If you ever even watched Scooby doo you would know that Scooby is just bait for the villain and Velma and Fred are the real valuable parts of the gang. Fred has the trap and Velma has the brains!
Whats the best cartoon dog? scoob (pro) or snoopy (con)

"Lets not forget that snoopy can FLY A DAMN PLANE! That just shows how retarded Scooby doo really is." That statement doesn't show that Scooby is retarded. Anyways Scooby has never attempted to fly a plane. Reason why Scooby Is smarter 1. He solves complex puzzles when solving mysteries -Scooby is more heroic too. He'll put his life on the line to save any member from the gang. This video will show that and his martial art skills http://www.youtube.com...
Whats the best cartoon dog? scoob (pro) or snoopy (con)

All right well you say Scooby isn't smarter, so at least you admit that second you say that snoopy only dances? Lets not forget that snoopy can FLY A DAMN PLANE! That just shows how retarded Scooby doo really is. As for you saying he has no accomplishments well I just gave you a HUGE ONE. Answer me this how many dogs do you know that can fly a plane let alone human beings. You say that Scooby and the gang will defeat snoopy and his friends, this might be true but it could go either way!
Whats the best cartoon dog? scoob (pro) or snoopy (con)

oh really? 1 Scooby-doo might not be smart but, at least he can talk just like a human. Unlike snoopy who just knows how to dance. 2 Snoopy is about the size of Scooby's calf. I'm sure Scooby can take snoopy one verse one and destroy snoopy. If you want a cage match throw the whole gang and Snoopy's friends together. Charlie brown and his friends wont stand a chance verses the gang. 3 Scooby is a national hero. Solving mysteries all of the time. 4 What's snoopy's biggest accomplishment?
Silent Hill or Resident Evil

Then let me prove my point by a free market approach, if there wasn't a fan base for both the movie and game series, then the company's making the movies/games would be losing money on these projects and would stop making them. The people have spoken, and they have continued to buy the games, go see the movies. Resident Evil had been going strong since 1996. It has a long steady track record that Silent Hill just doesn't have The only comparison I could make would be comparing Micheal Jordan(Resident Evil) to Lebron James(Silent Hill). (maybe not the most appropriate comparison,but makes my point)
Silent Hill or Resident Evil

Have you ever played every single silent hill game? About your 'oh the movies are great' they do NOT follow the plot of the movie because CAPCOM did not make them, Alice never existed in Resident Evil, nor is she considered canon to it. She's a fancharacter, that's all, and none of the game fans like the movies, so far. the CG ones are not included, but the live action movies are horrible. At least in silent Hill we get to see Pyramid Head, even in the movie, which was FAN MADE. KONAMI and CAPCOM did not make the movies.
Silent Hill or Resident Evil

Now I'm not gonna say Silent Hill is a bad game, cause Its not. For most people the more realistic a horror game is, the more a person can identify himself with the character and be into the game more, making it more scary for the person. Now if the movies were so bad, why would they keep making them? Obviously there's a following to the resident evil franchise. The Fact that Silent hill has ambient noise does not make it scarier, I don't know of anyone who'd scared of the wind
Silent Hill or Resident Evil

First of all, the movies were not good. silent hill at least tried to follow the canon of the games when they released a movie. Silent hill is frightening because it's mostly psychological, and it's downright gross when you go through it enough times to realize what it all means, it also can completely ruin your idea of religion and even strike you at a whole new level depending on what you as an individual believe to be frightening. Resident Evil is not scary, the dialogue is BAD, especially in Code Veronica. And don't get me started on 5, resident Evil 5 in itself was HORRIBLE. it wasn't scary, at all. Silent hill uses ambient sound and lighting as an advantage, and what doesn't kill you will at least try to rip out your guts or cut you in half with some rusted knife, or smash our face in with a rusted crowbar, but either way, Resident Evil is an easy, fun game. I just can't see it being scary at all. The concept of biologically reanimated corpses is so close to reality it might SEEM scary, but 'shoot them in the head' becomes a routine after awhile.
Silent Hill or Resident Evil

Well let me start off by saying that Resident evil was the 1st game to really perfect the idea of this gaming Genre in 1996, it has had over 26 different release titles come out for various systems, and its had a successful movies franchise staring a gorgeous Milla Jovovich. Its also flat our scarier than Silent Hill, and both these games are suppose to be scary. What makes the Resident evil games more scary is that they are at least more realistic than Silent hill. The problem with silent hill is that basically the same thing happens in each different town, so you're playing the same game....just in a different town, while resident evil has a pretty good story line
