An orange is better than a banana

My opponent claims a sources win. My opponent gave you 17 unique sources in this debate. Of these, 4 were from the dictionary, 3 were from Wikipedia and 3 were from dubious blogs. One was also a source that only supported my argument. Therefore the number of good sources he cited was six. I cited only 9 sources, but of these only 2 were from Wikipedia and none were from dubious blogs or the dictionary. One was a dubious image. Therefore the number of good sources I cited was also six. In this respect we should be tied for sources. I might not have the time to trawl the internet and find every single relevant website, but the sources that I did list were quality sources. With that being said, I'd like to thank my opponent for having this discussion with me. I hope I've been able to enlighten the world as to the wonders of the banana and the dangers of the orange. I see, however, that my opponent did have a few responses to some of my points left. Here is what I think of them: 1. My mother has a juice made of 100% pomegranate Wow, no added water? No apple base? How much does it cost? You should export it to New Zealand. However, just because one fruit heals very sowly does not mean all other fruits that share an arbitrary characteristic will heal quickly! That's quite a causal link to make. I don't think you've made it. 2. To some people, bananas cause stomach problems True. It's a minority of people, by the way. The tooth rot that is inevitable when you eat oranges affects everybody. Besides, some people (such as, by your own admission, you) are sensitive to acidic fruit and thus find them hard to stomach too. 3. We use turning skewers Simple solution: attach the banana slices. I use toothpicks for this purpose, other people like to use string. Alternatively, roast the turkey in a conventional oven as opposed to a skewered fireplace. As well as turkey, my friend tells me pork works even better (I don't like pork for some reason). 4. Bananas are worse for the garden I admit you may get, at most, maybe three ants instead of two. Honestly, I still think that's not a significant difference. Therefore the point is not won by you, but should be moot. 5. "You win this point" 6. Pomegranates turn you to superman First, pomegranates are not oranges. Second, pomegranates are MUCH less radioactive than bananas. 7. Bananas are less rare because you can engineer a fruit to be any shape No. Bananas are still rare because they are naturally in that smile shape. Gold is a rare mineral, regardless of how easy it is to make in a lab. 8. You did plagiarism too, so it's OK I did not cite, quote or reprint any of your work before this round, where I made three short quotes. Rather, I paraphrased. You could have paraphrased your source too, but you chose not to. Therefore my question is still valid, and I didn't need to ask your permission. 9. "Yeah, I guess so" 10. Oranges can replace water If you tried to stay hydrated by eating oranges, you WILL get sick. Bananas contain a healthy amount of water too, but also all the right nutrients in the right proportions to keep you active during the day. 11. People can trip on both But in terms of numbers, still more people trip over banana peels than orange peel. 12. "You win this point" 13. "@#$%! Wow. " <- Awesomest way to concede a point. Ever. 14. Do you agree with termites? No. I think it would be a better idea, rather than eating a thousand oranges, spending a week extracting all the oil, putting it in a bottle and adding a nozzle on top, to just buy an anti-termite spray? Besides, the best termite solution is to use an airborne fumigator (the bomb-type things you get in hardware stores). 15. Bananas are not grown everywhere Neither are oranges. Bananas are grown in many, many additional countries. They are also more widely consumed. 16. My tomato plant died Puny, tiny tomato vs big banana tree. According to common sense, what did you expect! ? Both the tree and the tomato are plants that want space, I'd say if you plant them about 2M apart you would be safe. In conclusion, having made all of my arguments and finished this debate, I pronounce my judgment. I condemn oranges. I launch against the orange industry the harshest of all rebukes that any rebuker has ever uttered. Oranges are the worst fruit, the greatest corruption, the one highest blemish upon mankind's gastronomy. Howsoever, of bananas I can sing naught but the highest praises. The banana has been called the fruit of the Gods, and it is not hard to see why. Filled to the brim with the most fulfilling, nutritious, delicious and attractive sensation that has been our top fruit for 10,000 years, every banana tree is a trophy of our achievement. Now is the time to make the change. Throw away your rotting oranges, throw away your juicers and peelers, race on down to your local shop and purchase your very own fresh, ripe, golden, unique and bountiful bananas.
