I will win this rap battle.

There is no lord, not you not me,There is only brute strength in this galaxy,The force of will, to survive the most brutal conditions,The motivation, and dedication to survive and win all competitions,I beat the a$$ of batman, like snapping a toothpick in two,And if you were to come to the REAL WORLD I would annihilate you.You and I are similar in one way, we know the benefit of life-saving machinery,But you have only one advantage over myself, you are better at receiving a fatality,You died to save your son, from the real Sith lord's electric flow of evil,You are good one day, super villain the next, you bipolar man with no testicles.I'm a beast, I killed a grown man at eight,The most bada$$ thing you did at that age was masturbate,You were a geek, you built a robot and all it could do is talk,And, in the most retarded manner possible, do what I presume is walk?!C-3PO is the stretch of your talent? Beating anyone up is mine,I'm the Obi Wan Kenobi to your former self, I'm f*cking divine.I fight to protect, I serve my female counterpart well,I was raised to be a warrior, all I grew up knowing was hell,My life story is one helluva thrill to listen to and tell,The only thing your life story is, is a joke,You f*ck a bitch as a Jedi, then you murder her with a choke,You're insane, all you really have left is your waste of space brain,You know what all men in my prison screamed in any fight I was in? "BANE!"They screamed in my support, whether I fought a man tall or short,I'm like an indestructible castle, My muscle power is a god-sent fort,Think you're better than me in any way? Well here's a f*cking thought,I stayed loyal to my woman to her death, I never gave up, I always fought,I was a warrior, a terrorist, a sadist of the finest order,The only thing special about you is narcissistic personality disorder.

Darth Vader vs. Bane (you vs. me)Although making stuff up will be allowed I'd prefer if we were honest about things they did in their lives.My sources will behttp://www.batman.wikia.com...andhttp://en.wikipedia.org...(comics)For the above link paste the (comics) onto the end because that won't be on link...As well as movie.Don't say something like "I lost my virginity at age ten" because Darth Vader only lost it to Padme at like 17.. (I dislike Darth Vader a lot and don't care, he is the epitome of a cowardly villain).
I will win this rap battle.

I made this impossible to accept for now. If you want to accept, pick two fictional characters who will be represented in the battle, with an asterisk next to your desired character (i.e. Megaman* vs. Samus; General Grievous vs. the Terminator*, etc.). Feel free to list off as many combinations as you want. I'll choose one that works for me (obviously I don't want to do a character I know nothing about or don't like, or face off against an obviously superior character). When Con accepts, their first round should only indicate which characters are facing off. Heads up: there is a 1000 character limit. Voters should take the following into consideration: Conduct = rhyme Spelling and grammar = spelling... and grammar More convincing arguments = quality of lyrics Used most reliable sources = had the best flow
The "Hillsborough Disaster" controversy alone is enough to tarnish the legacy of Margaret Thatcher

I'm not quite sure what you mean by 'Acceptance only' means, so I'm afraid I may clash. The Hillsborough disaster is obviously an event important to a lot of people, and as a result of this Margaret Thatcher was penalized for it. Though may I point out, Hillsborough was not directly her fault. Hillsborough was so unique that nobody could quite expect it. And saying that Margaret Thatcher was responsible for it and that alone deserves to be the biggest downfall of her legacy as a politician is equal to saying she lost the football match and was psychologically responsible for the actions of the fans at that match.
The "Hillsborough Disaster" controversy alone is enough to tarnish the legacy of Margaret Thatcher

On the 8th of April 2013, the former British Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher, died. Ever since her death, coverage has been rife about how she was the "Woman Who Divided The Nation" covering all sorts of different aspects like the miners strike of 1984, the poll tax, and the Falklands War. However, I'd like to focus on the Hillsborough Disaster Controversy. Firstly, here's some helpful definitions for this debate: Hillsborough - a football stadium in Sheffield, and home to Sheffield Wednesday Football Club, as well as being the stadium that hosted an FA Cup Semi Final in 1989. Liverpool - a still major football club, and the team affected by the Hillsborough Disaster. South Yorkshire Police - the police force who were on duty on the day of the Hillsborough Disaster. Hillsborough Disaster Controversy - referring not only to the event on April 15th 1989 where a stadium crush killed 96 Liverpool supporters, but also to the subsequent happenings afterwards where Liverpool fans were smeared as having caused the event and where South Yorkshire Police denied responsibility for years. The Taylor Report - A report released in full in 1990 investigating the causes of the Hillsborough Disaster and which issued recommendations for football stadia around the country. The Hillsborough Independent Panel - a government body created 20 years after the event to re-investigate the disaster in more comprehensive detail, and which released its findings on the 12th of September 2012. In the wake of Thatcher's death, the families of the Hillsborough victims have stated that Thatcher should have apologised for what happened at Hillsborough, and there is also the factor of what is mentioned about Thatcher by the HIP, which indicates that Thatcher had an active role in helping to hide details about the disaster. Because I did not have room in the debate title, the full title is "Even without anything else that happened during her time as Prime Minister, the "Hillsborough Disaster" controversy and the role she played in it alone is enough to tarnish the legacy of Margaret Thatcher". I should absolutely stress here that it is not my intention to debate the "right/wrong" value of any other aspect of Thatcher's time as Prime Minister, as I will admit I am simply not informed enough about those other issues. However, it is my contention that Thatcher could in theory have been an absolute saint prior to the subject of this debate but that the things she did in connection to the Hillsborough Disaster are enough to make one look at her overall historical legacy with nothing but disgust. As part of my case, I will highlight similar examples as a means of how this is possible in my case. For whoever takes up the role of Con, here is the Round structure: 1) Acceptance only. 2) Opening arguments and clash. 3) Clash. 4) Clash and concluding arguments. I look forward to the debate.
Bob's Burgers is the Best Show on air Right Now

My opponent has failed to offer a rebuttal, so I extend all arguments. Additionally, to all voters, I'm not sure why all of my apostrophes became quotation marks last round, but I assure you it was a formatting error and not grammatical ineptness. I hope my opponent is well, but I am compelled to point out that his account shows him as being active 1 day ago (while each round is allotted 72 hours).
Bob's Burgers is the Best Show on air Right Now

I.Bob"s Burgers Rebuttal A.Lack of Intentional Vulgarity Does Not Indicate Quality -The assertion that Bob"s Burgers is not offensive does not contribute anything to the claim that it is the best show on the air now. As stated in my uncontested definition of best, we are looking for quality or value, not for a lack of offensive content. Additionally, Bob"s Burgers does contain content that some would find offensive. (http://www.imdb.com...) B.Well-developed Characters Are Not Indicative Of Quality, And Are Not Exclusive To Bob"s Burgers - Diverse and round characters are present in most fictional television shows, and unless something is unique to Bob"s Burgers, that assertion does not bear any weight towards the value of the show. It is simply good storytelling. C. "Coolness" Is Not A Factor When Judging Quality -To suggest that this makes Bob"s Burgers superior to all other shows is absurd. Additionally, to suggest that an animated character in an adult cartoon is a "Feminist Icon" is as far-fetched as calling Bobby Hill a figurehead for athletic children or Eric Cartman as a role model for overweight kids. My opponent has simply not shown how Bob"s Burgers is definitely best. II. Alternative Show For Consideration Cosmos- A Spacetime Odyssey -Not only is this show higher in quality and value then Bob"s Burgers, but it is also on the same network. Following this, not only will my opponent be unable to claim that Bob"s Burgers is the best show on the air, but he also won"t be able to claim it is even the best on its network. Cosmos has not only received higher ratings from critics then Bob"s Burgers, but it also contains educational value. (http://www.imdb.com...) In summary, my opponent has failed to present compelling evidence to indicate that Bob"s Burgers is the best show on the air. Education is a higher quality then entertainment as well, so even given only my example of Cosmos, I have shown that there are shows superior to Bob"s Burgers.
Bob's Burgers is the Best Show on air Right Now

Bob's Burgers includes humor but never tries to offend the viewer. It gives all the charaters a personality like how we will act. Each Charater is different but they all make they show fun, Tina Belcher has aspergers and has schoolgirl crushes on all the guys. deffinaly Jimmy Jr. Lousie hasen't been through puberty yet so she doesen't find intrest in the oppisite sex but helps and sticks up for Tina. Gene is the middle aged child and is into house music and making fart sounds out of his insterments. Linda and Bob are the parents and they run the resterurant with the kids. Tina Belcher is a character on the show, Buzzfeed rated her to be the coolest charater for teens. She isn't afraid to be her self or try something new and she never gives up. By Slate she has been called a "Folk Hero for Young Anxouis teens. I am one of them and I can say that is true. All young adults and teens with a form of aspergers have a inner Tina. She has been also been called a "Feminist Icon" http://www.slate.com...;http://www.buzzfeed.com...
The drinking age in the United States should be lowered to 18 years of age.

As my opponent forfeited this round, extend all of my arguments. -SUMMARY- I have shown throughout the debate that drinking is negative for society and for individuals. I emphasized two major impacts: substance abuse problems later in life, and teen pregnancies. Both of these harms are exacerbated by teenage drinking. My opponent did not provide adequate refutations to either idea. --- As for my opponent's case, his ideas are that: (i) military service-members should be allowed to drink before age 21, (ii) binge drinking will decrease with a lower drinking age, (iii) Parents will teach responsible habits to their children, and (iv) Police resources are "wasted" arresting and looking for underage drinking Unfortunately for him, all of these ideas are flawed. He never gave a valid, logical reason for which members of the armed forces should be allowed to drink while they are teenagers. On the other hand, I have shown that it would be harmful for young military members to drink, and so they ought not be allowed to do so. I have also shown that binge drinking - while it might subside among 18 year olds - would only spread among even younger children if the drinking age were lowered to 18. The parents he imagines teaching responsible habits to their children are the same individuals who have substance abuse problems and are too young to be responsible parents anyway. The resources he considers to be "wasted" arresting underage drinkers are actually well used, and are working to prevent the harmful impacts of underage drinking. --- It is clear that a lowered drinking age is the wrong choice for America.
Austerity Measures Are the Proper Response to a Debt Crisis

Before I lay out the structure of this debate, I would like to apologize to TheElderScroll for all the delay and confusion in trying to set up this debate. It's been a very busy week for me. Also, please read everything below before accepting. Full Resolution: Austerity Measures Are the Proper Response to a Debt Crisis.

The topic is TBA

The topic: Albert Pujols is a Better Player in Major League Baseball Than Casey Kotchman. Albert Pujols: http://www.baseball-reference.com... -- and: http://en.wikipedia.org... Casey Kotchman: http://www.baseball-reference.com... -- and: http://en.wikipedia.org... Just in case theOverMan tries to distort the topic...it's that Albert Pujols, who is currently a player in MLB, is better than Casey Kotchman, who also plays in MLB. By "better," I mean "more valuable," by which I mean Pujols contributes more to his team, which I'll show using statistical evidence, which will show Pujols' ability to produce offensively and defensively, and his durability (playing time) is superior to Kotchman's.
The topic is TBA

I will allow you to announce the topic and I will go against whichever topic you decide no matter what it is... R1: You will choose a topic. In round one, you will merely state the topic and you must be in favor of that topic. R2: I will show you why I am against the topic. Then, you will state your arguments and responses. R3: I will provide responses. You will conclude. The matter is in now your hands; do you accept? Are you able to walk the tightrope that is humanity and dare cross over and tempt theOverman? Let's see... "May we grow so gentle; never grow mental".
renewable energy is the best solution for energy worldwide.

Apart from large scale energy production, conventional sources are far less viable for small scale use than renewable energy. Burning oil or coal at a household level would not be efficient do to transporting resources to all the houses needed and the number of machines and size taken up by them. It would also be damaging to the health of the family inside of the house. Another factor is the complexity of the machines could result in dangerous accidents. This is especially true with nuclear power. The intrinsic danger is far too strong to be considered for personal use. The only small scale energy production is propane which is not suitable to power a house continuously [1]; however, all sources of renewable energy have small scale options. Renewable energy has the ability to provide clean energy on a small scale level and can provide energy to those living in underdeveloped areas of the world. small scale energy production can be used along side large scale renewable energy to provide energy any area on the planet.[2] The use of small scale energy production requires no resources apart from those that are required for the product itself. Geothermal heat pumps, solar panels, wind turbines, and hydro power provide a diverse range of options to suit any situation. [2][3] small scale renewable energy allows to fill any gapes in energy production that currently are not being met and are causing a large amount of underdeveloped regions.[4] Independent energy production is a key to creating a more equal and advanced civilization.

renewable energy is the best solution for energy worldwide.

The first argument is for a short definition on what you are supporting. Renewable energy is defined as "energy that comes from resources which are naturally replenished on a human timescale such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides, waves and geothermal heat."[1] The four of these sources (rain, tide, and wave fall under hydro energy) together can power the globe cleanly.

I have a suspicion that my opponent will forfeit at least one round of this debate.

The funny thing is, before I got to the testicles part of that question I was thinking it was a sexual innuendo. Answer 1: It would be logical for him to have a suspicion that that is what the other guy meant. But if the other guy just flat out said it 10 seconds later then he wouldn't have a suspicion, he'd just flat out know. Answer 2: How could it not be evaluated in real time? We could evaluate the round past on feelings in the past and ignore the current situation. I'm arguing that debates should develop in real time based on whats happening in the world. I'm saying the topic is a dynamic entity which is evaluated as the debate progresses and relation to the world progressing. Answer 3: As much as doing your job for you sounds awesome.... I'm okay. ^.^ But if you'd like could you answer this question, "What are all the best reasons for you losing this debate?" Answer 4: Depends on the character of the debater and the circumstances. Personal testimony from myself, considering my activities here, should probably be accepted in certain circumstances.
I have a suspicion that my opponent will forfeit at least one round of this debate.

Since I lack time to seriously respond in this round and since we have 5 rounds to do this debate, I'm gonna take the time to resort to some quick C/X CROSS EXAMINATION: QUESTION #1: Lets say two guys were talking about tennis and one guy tells the other guy that he likes the size of his raquet. The other guy says thanks while glancing at the raquet in question. The guy who makes the initial compliment corrects him by pointing out that he was referring to the other guy's testicles. If the same two guys were to meet again on the following day, only for the first guy to yet again make the remark about the size of the other guy's raquet to the second guy, would it be logical to conclude for the second guy to conclude that that the first guy was referring to his crotch? QUESTION #2: How can arguing over whether or not is is reasonable to conclude that Logical-Master has a suspicion (in the context of him typing said statement into the topic section before this debate even started) not be evaluated in real time? QUESTION #3: Since you agree that there are many ways for one to forfeit , will you be so kind as to list 10 ways? :D QUESTION #4: Should personal testimony (from the debater) in favor of a debater's position be accepted by the audience? If so, why? If not, why not? And that's all for now. :)
