Should there be Football at Mount Saint Charles

First off, I see a number of flaws with your argument here. There are actually a handful of students who used to play football before they came to mount. This means Mount would have a decent foundation to start off from and a huge part of football is actually in the hands of the coaches, the play calling, not the talent itself. So although the first couple of years would be a building phase for the football team, mount would greatly benefit in the long run and end up having a talented football team. You don't need a lot of great players to start a football team in RI. A lot of schools are small in RI and mount would fit right in when they first start their football team. You don't need just size and big kids to have a good team and besides, Mount has plenty of kids that are big to play football. Also Football is the greatest team sport. You need to rely on your team more than in any other sport and it would help kids bond together and make friends which is always a great thing, not to mention football gets people ripped and in shape, like myself for example. ;)
Should there be Football at Mount Saint Charles

So you are saying that myriad of student will actually come to mont to play football which bolster the team and mount itself financially . But I don't see any student would come to mount to play football here. I see pretty good number of kids come to mount or baseball but that is a different story because mount has had the good reputation for hockey and baseball by winning state championship not only once but several times. If football team just got started and they don't have any reputation which means that none of student will try to attend Mount to play football. And I don't think that mount has any presage to have a good football team due to a lack of strongandbigkid
Should there be Football at Mount Saint Charles

Mount does not offer football because someone died. This is true but Mount is clearly not the only high school that this has happened to. This has happened at a handful of schools over the years but the odds are very unlikely. You have a better chance to get struck by lighting then actually die from playing football so your argument isn't strong, and if it was, then every high school wouldn't allow football because one person happened to die. Sports isn't all about winning and money too btw its about the love for the sport and the team bonding that comes along with it. The extra students that would come to Mount would help pay for the football program anyways and more to again your argument is illogical here.
Should there be Football at Mount Saint Charles

I heard that Mount is not offering football because one kid died from playing football at mount. And I do not see any big kid who would be nasty at football, which will put Mount into third division and waste all that money for nothing. It can be true that we can potentially get some new kids to mount if mount will be good at it. So I think that mount should put more money on hockey team, which is already highly renowned through country instead of paying for new sports, football.
Should there be Football at Mount Saint Charles

We are a private school and aren't restricted by any means. Football is an expensive sport but Mount Saint Charles is a private school and can easily afford it. The school budget is certainly big enough for a football program. Also football is a great fun sport that many kids would love to be apart of and play on a team together. It would also attract more athletes to come to the school if we had football. If anything, having football only leads to positive things.
Abortion

-ABORTION- Abortion is the termination of a pregnancy by the removal or expulsion from the uterus of a fetus or embryo, resulting in or caused by its death.[1] An abortion can occur spontaneously due to complications during pregnancy or can be induced, in humans and other species. In the context of human pregnancies, an abortion induced to preserve the health of the gravid (pregnant female) is termed a therapeutic abortion, while an abortion induced for any other reason is termed an elective abortion. The term abortion most commonly refers to the induced abortion of a human pregnancy, while spontaneous abortions are usually termed miscarriages. I have a question for you do you believe in torturing terrorist? (if the answer is no) If you said no you are a moron because you believe in killing gods perfectly harmless creations for nothing and not killing a terrorist for terrorizing our country. Do you believe in the death sentence? If you said no your killing a baby for Nothing. Yes you are killing it you stop its heart from beating it. What do you think god and Jesus our lord and savior think about that. If you are atheist please Google john 3:16
Abortion

As suspected, my opponent has forfeited 2 subsequent rounds after the first and has provided no arguments of substance. Instead, he only questioned my positions on terrorism and the death penalty which have turned out to be completely irrelevant throughout this debate. As such, regardless of how you feel about abortion, you should vote for me because my opponent has provided zero substantial arguments. Also, Con failed to address any of my concerns or refute any of my points. Extend my arguments throughout this round and vote Pro. Thank you.
Abortion

Some more reasons why I am Pro legalized abortion: 1. The government doesn't have the right to tell a woman what to do with her own body. At its inception, the fetus is not a person but a fetus and therefore has no legal rights. As such, the woman is responsible for the fetus - it is her property - and she can do with it what she chooses. 2. Most women who make the decision to have an abortion do so because they feel that they would not be able to properly raise a child, and do not wish to bring a child into this world to be sent to an orphanage. 3. If a woman really doesn't want to have a baby, she's going to abort it one way or another. Criminalizing abortions would increase the demand for unsafe and unsanitary criminal back-alley abortions. 4. Abortion is not murder; as I've said, a fetus is not a person in any legal sense of the word. Therefore it becomes a moral issue. For those who don't believe in God, abortion is not a violation of any moral code. Further, since there is a Separation of Church and State, then the opinion of the Church about when a fetus becomes a person is really irrelevant.
Abortion

We only have 5 minutes to post an argument? Let's go for it. To answer Con's questions, I am in favor of the death penalty in cases where it is 100% confirmed that the defendant is guilty, therefore making his argument useless. Regarding torturing terrorists, I am also in favor of doing so if those being tortured are in fact guilty for causing harm to our citizens or country, and through torture will reveal information to prevent more terrorism. Again, this makes Con's argument useless. To address Con's other points, first of all, abortion doesn't require the stopping of a beating heart because many times abortion occurs before the heart has even developed let alone started beating. Further, I don't believe in God and therefore using him to sway my moral opinion is flawed. I don't believe that abortion is wrong because I believe that only living human persons have a right to life. One becomes a person once they develp consciousness, which usually does not occur until after the 3rd trimester of pregnancy. If you are a theist, please Google Leviticus 26:14-30 and see how loving your God is.
Abortion

Unfortunately my opponent is not able to continue this debate. In order to win I have to make at least some arguments, so I will lay the foundation of my case. If my opponent is able to continue, I will elaborate on these arguments in Round 3. Argument 1: Beingness For much of its existence, a fetus has no conscious mind and is not distinct in its level of awareness from a tree or a rock. It is certainly not immoral to destroy these objects when it is convenient to do so. Even in its later stages of development the fetus is less advanced than animals we frequently eat. [1] Argument 2: Self-Ownership Even if a fetus were a fully conscious person, it would not have the right to use another person's body as a life support system at her expense. The fetus is little more than a parasite, and it is fully within the woman's right to ownership of her own body to cut it loose. Sources [1] http://brainmind.com...
Abortion

Because my opponent has not made an argument in Round 1, I will not either. I am pressed for time, so I will give him the floor. This will just proceed as a two round debate. I believe it makes more sense for him to go first anyway because is arguing that something is morally wrong and therefore must explain why this is so. Without any dissent I don't need an argument to say that abortion is permissible any more than I need to argument that eating toast is permissible. This is not a statement about the burden of proof, which should be equal, but simply about the natural of morally argument.
grape kool aid is better then cherry..........

My opponent says we already have a red mouth, but the cherry enhancesthe red to be seen. Lastly my opponent brought evidence from wikipedia, so I feel it should be discarded. Why because I could have written it. Lastly you know you want to vote con, go out and drink the kool aid, make it a taste contest. I hope you choose the drink that not only truns your tongue red and your appearance better, but to taste the taste that will leave a lifetime.
grape kool aid is better then cherry..........

Well I would first like to say thanks to bigbass3000 for his response. I will start off with the fowling at this moment I am wearing red underwear and as my opponent last stated that Kiwibox. com states that "Wearing red makes you appear powerful and in control. like for example wearing a sexy, bright red dress makes you appear sexy and desirable. A cheerful red tee shirt helps you look friendly, approachable, and happy. and may I say that my opponent is wrong red is not the only color that can ame you look approachable and happy but also red, blue ,purple, orange,silver,green,and white,and soft blue is the colour that is best at calming a person. Wearing red can influence your own mood and others perception of you. ", but I don't feel that way. my opponent says that that a red mouth can have the potential to make you look more appealing or to intimidate, don't we already have a red mouth? there for everyone is the same we as in the human race all look appealing or intimidate every day due to our read mouths at least by the way that my opponent states his opinion and the way that he says it make it seem that way. my opponent thinks that he has evidence which proved that psychologically red can make you look more sexually attractive and can help you to look more intimidating on the soccer field. As I have recently read on Wikipedia RED is frequently used as a symbol of guilt, sin and anger, often as connected with blood or sex, some how my opponent states not once but several time using words such as SEXY, SEXUALLY. .. .and so on it seems to me that my opponent is only at this time thinking about the way that this could make a person look. . http://en.wikipedia.org... The actual color of Tyrian purple, the original color purple from which the name purple is derived, is the color of a dye made from a mollusk that, because of its incredible expense, in classical antiquity became a symbol of royalty because only the very wealthy could afford it. Therefore, Tyrian purple is also called imperial purple. . http://en.wikipedia.org...
grape kool aid is better then cherry..........

Okay first off, I did not say that wearing red makes you look powerful. I should have rephrased saying that you are most likely to appear more powerful. Plus you have no evidence to prove that having a purple mouth gives you any advantages. I said a red mouth can have the potential to make you look more appealing or to intimadate. While purple mouth doesn't have any advantages, then your opinion. Finally Cherries have more nutrition than grapes do, look to my evidence again. Cherries have more antioxidant chemicals than grapes, which makes it healthier. Even then kool aid contains no fruit juice, so you have to go on pure appearance argument alone. So this debate comes down to how has more benefits with regards to tongue color. I had evidence which proved that psycologically red can make you look more sexually attractive and can help you to look more intimadating on the soccer field. It doesn't mean that all the time it is the case, but according to the evidence there is a positive psycological effect from having a red tongue. Purple tongue, there is no evidence provided to prove so. Other than opinions that were given by my opponent. Which I hate to say it but scientific studies versus opinion usually end up with the scientific study winning.
grape kool aid is better then cherry..........

My opponent states that Kiwibox. com states that "Wearing red makes you appear powerful and in control. A sexy, bright red dress makes you appear sexy and desirable. A cheerful red tee shirt helps you look friendly, approachable, and happy. Wearing red can influence your own mood and others perception of you. " he/she also states "having red makes you look more powerful. Now if you are playing soccer you may want to appear more powerful. Or sexy in front of your friends and enemies. So you most vote for red kool aid because it makes you look cooler and not as if you have a purple mouth. " then again I would like to let you and my opponent know that while you may want to look powerful during a soccer game but that has nothing to do with the way you toung looks our uniforms are black and gold and may I say that we have never looked more powerful, there for, I believe that my opponent believes anything that he/she reads . Looking different is also something that could help you out in an advantage while playing during a game, ypu could make your self as a distraction to players from the other team with out cheating(not your fault that they can't foucs). The color red has nothing to do with making you look powerful it the person wearing the color that make the statement, who am I or is my opponent to say that you look powerful only because you wear the color red? It would be like when people say your wearing purple you must be gay! As my opponent states that cherries could be consumed during a soccer game, but he/she is wrong grapes are a lot more healthier then cherries look for your self . http://www.peertrainer.com... . http://www.peertrainer.com... And im sorry but i must say that grape is so much better the cherry kool-aid!
grape kool aid is better then cherry..........

1. My first argument is on the color red, my opponent says that red just makes you look like a vampire, yet according to Kiwibox.com "Wearing red makes you appear powerful and in control. A sexy, bright red dress makes you appear sexy and desirable. A cheerful red tee shirt helps you look friendly, approachable, and happy. Wearing red can influence your own mood and other's perception of you. ", having red makes you look more powerful. Now if you are playing soccer you may want to appear more powerful. Or sexy in front of your friends and enemies. So you most vote for red kool aid because it makes you look cooler and not as if you have a purple mouth. http://www.kiwibox.com... 2.Cherries also should be consumed during soccer because cherries are healthier than grapes. According to choose cherries.com "Tart cherries are one of today's red hot "Super Fruits." A growing body of science reveals tart cherries, enjoyed as dried and frozen cherries and cherry juice, have among the highest levels of disease-fighting antioxidants, when compared to other fruits. They also contain other important nutrients such as beta carotene (19 times as much as blueberries or strawberries) vitamins C, potassium, magnesium, iron, fiber and folate. Emerging evidence links cherries to many important health benefits – from helping to ease the pain of arthritis and gout, to reducing risk factors for heart disease, diabetes and certain cancers. Cherries also have been found to help regulate the body's natural sleep patterns, aid with jet lag, prevent memory loss and delay the aging process. A recent study from the University of Michigan reveals new evidence linking cherries to heart health benefits. The study found that a cherry-enriched lowered total weight, body fat(especially the important "belly" fat), inflammation and cholesterol, risk factors associated with heart disease. According to the American Heart Association, being overweight or obese, in particular when the weight is concentrated in the middle, is a major risk factor for heart disease. As nearly two out of three Americans are overweight, emerging studies like this are important in examining the role diet may play in disease management and prevention.", Cherries may save your life, while grapes don't. So you would be wise to eat cherries instead of grapes at sporting events. 3. I did taste cherry and grape kool aid and I like cherry. Why because I have had grape gatorade and it tastes just like kool aid. While the cherry is more unique and thus is more valuable than grape kool aid.
grape kool aid is better then cherry..........

Before my opponent takes me up on this debate he/she must go out and drink a glass of grape kool-aid and cherry kool-aid. Well for one, the best reason that grape kool-aid is better is because well it turns your tongue purple, where cherry just makes it seem like you just got done sucking blood, making you look like a killer vampire. I would also like to state the fact that during a soccer game it is substantial to have grapes over cherries during half time, i have never seen a cherry in my life that i have played soccer.
childhood rhymes like eenie-meenie-miney-moe

Hello, hello my friends. My name is Negan. I'm an honest guy that bats people the right direction. The fact that this harmless nursery ryme got my opponent's skull bashed in is entirely irrelevant. I find these rhymes to be a good decision maker when in a dilemma. Ever find yourself looking at a candy rack or group of survivors and start saying, "Eenie...meenie...miney...moe...".
Water is not really blue

Thank you for your acceptance Cobalt. I will go on my arguments first then it is your turn.FrameworkThe debate is about whether or not water is actually blue or not. In this debate, we can argue about the definitions, make scientific reasons and not just our own explanations, and science related sources. If I give scientific reasons of why water is not blue and then I fill the BOP, I win. If my opponent gives scientific reasons why water is blue, she will win the debate. This debate needs scientific reasons because this debate is a science debate and if we do not give real facts if water is not blue, there is no evidence so we need proof. That is why even though there is some plagiarizing, if we give proof of science, it is okay. However do not copy-paste the whole thing. This means that you do not know any explanations. Arguments1. Water is clear.Okay, my first argument is that water is clear. This is a science fact. This follows with the resolution. The resolution is water is not really blue. It is clear. There is scientific facts of this one.Okay, first of all water is clear. Many people think that water is clear because in the ocean or any kind of river, water looks blue. However this is false. Water is actually clear.There is a scientific reason that shows that water looks blue. It is all because of the sky.Why the sky?The sky is blue. That is a fact. The thing is that all the oceans and the rivers, above them is the sky. It reflects the blue color down, which is to the water, which is clear. This means that the water being blue is a reflection. It is actually clear."The ocean looks blue because red, orange and yellow (long wavelength light) are absorbed more strongly by water than is blue (short wavelength light). So when white light from the sun enters the ocean, it is mostly the blue that gets returned. Same reason the sky is blue." In other words, the color of the ocean and the color of the sky are related but occur independently of each other: in both cases, the preferential absorption of long-wavelength (reddish) light gives rise to the blue. Note that this effect only works if the water is very pure; if the water is full of mud, algae or other impurities, the light scattered off these impurities will overwhelm the water's natural blueness. This means that the ocean is not blue. It is a clear color. This is because it can become many colors, and the scientific studies is that the water color is actually clear because when the water changes color, it is the same color with the sky.Sources http://www.scientificamerican.com... http://www.freedrinkingwater.com...

Water is not really blue

I thank Con for making his/ or hers arguments. FrameworkOpponent accepts most of the framework, however not plagiarizing. This is just for to reassure there is evidence. Rebuttals1. My first rebuttal is about the argument of Water is Blue. Yes, if it reflects, it becomes he color if the light. That means that water is not always blue. If we have a red light, then the water will be red. Swamp water is green because of slime and the trees. The opponent's argument does show that water is actually blue.2. The chemical structure of water is 2 hydrogen and one oxygen. There is no reason why that refers to the "blueness" of water. Hydrogen is not blue, nor oxygen.3. Water is blue in the ocean because it reflects the blue sky. It is not about little blueness making it blue. It is about water is clear and the clearness is reflecting by the blueness. It is not about lots of little blue making big blue.
