Fast Food and Animals

Yes , these people are business men and trying to make money. I believe that these small spaces are not for costs, but they are to make the cow not be able to move causing him to get fat. This treatment to the animals is COMPLETELY unfair to the poor animals because they have the exact feelings the we humans do. This is cruelty to their lives that they were living before. Now they are being tortured just to satisfy our fast food cravings. However this food is not good for us. The toxins from how they were treated is now going into our bodies when we eat it including hormones. Hormones are very bad for us because they can mess up our hormones as well as cause obesity. A big juicy burger for 1.99 is not a burger. These burgers are filled with antibiotics, bacteria, and even cardboard fillers. Mcdonalds and other places might be having great business but they aren't doing anyone a favor. The animals nor the people. Here is a link about the abuse that chickens do not deserve. http://foodrevolution.org... Please read it all its HORRIBLE. You would not want to go through that would you?
Fast Food and Animals

You haven't really been clear about what exactly you are debating so I will take my best guess. I assume we are debating about whether the mistreatment of animals and generally the methods used in fast food production are unjustified,immoral and generally wrong. I will start by admitting my personal thoughts about this matter. I almost whole heartedly agree the the mistreatment of animals is wrong,and that fast food industries are known for less than savory methods and practices. However,to continue this debate,I would like to explain that the people doing this aren't cold blooded sociopaths,they are just businessmen,and good ones at that. Let me elaborate; The fast food business is incredibly large and popular,serving millions all over the world, for two basic reasons. Affordability and taste. Both of these things they achieve through the mistreatment of animals you just described. *Affordability is achieved through cutting costs,while at the same time keeping a good image to the general public. These costs are cut from one of their biggest expenses,meat processing.Large numbers of animals are kept in small spaces and restrained to cut staff and space costs. Feed costs are cut by "picking up their scat from the cage, mixing it with grain and force feedings it to them" (I had never heard of that one,I will take your word for it that it's true...seems impractical..) *Taste,besides the fatty oils and excess of salt,is achieved by feeding animals different hormones to get them to grow faster and bigger,so that you or anyone else can buy a large,tasty burger for 1.99. So whatever our thoughts about this matter may be,fast food and all it represents is so ingrained in human society that trying other humane methods of raising animals (to be slaughtered) seem simply impractical for any real money making businesses. I would love to hear your thoughts on this and maybe suggest a realistic compromise that will satisfy both worlds.
Fast Food and Animals

We put animals though extreme torture just so we can make fast food which is hurting out bodies as well. The animals used for fast food, (cows chickens pigs other farm animals) are put though hell (literally). Try to imagine yourself being put into a small cage where you have no room to do anything, not even take one step, and then have your head put through something where your neck begins to ache because you cant escape, and then a man comes and picks up your scat from the cage, mixes it with grains and force feeds it to you. Then that meal makes you sick and so they give you a bunch of antibiotics and hormones and continue feeding you your own droppings and finally once your as sick is ever you get slaughtered. This is what these animals go though and they don't deserve this any more than we do. I am not saying we quit eating meat. I am saying that 1) if our meat is treated this way we are also being poisoned by all the antibiotics and hormones that they were fed. 2) they don't deserve the cruelty that they go through, and the meat that we eat should be free range grass fed and cruelty free! I have never eaten at fast food place and i hope that you can support me too! :)
War Game Scenario: Israel Vs Middle Eastern Country

Time to beat ISIS in this scenario. Economy: Israel, just in case Egypt tries anything with the cyber warfare they might have now have now invested the money received from Egypt along with enough money to bring the grand total to 500 million. This will ensure Egypt stays in check with cyber warfare along with being able to shut down ISIS and what they have. Military: Since the Israeli military has received losses from the war, President Almighty gives this statement to get people to get in the army. "Lets finish what we started and live up to our end of the deal." This brings in enough people to bring the numbers to attack ISIS up to 500,000. The rest will stay and hold off any ISIS counter-attack. Diplomacy: Just in case Egypt doesn't live up to their end of the treaty, they convince the UN to do the same for Egypt if they fail to do their part of the treaty. The minefield will be dealt with as soon as Egypt says it is ready to help remove it. They ask for Egypt to remove its blockade within 48 hours or they will ask the UN to sanction for failing to live up to the treaty. December 10 The Jewish Holiday of Hanukkah is going on and both countries are ready to attack. (The main reason Israel placed it on the treaty initially was because they deemed ISIS a threat to Israel.) They would have begun sooner, but Egypt decide to wait. They have decide to remove ISIS from Iraq first. With plenty of superior technology compared to ISIS is estimated to be driven from power in Iraq in less than 1-2 months with this effort. December 15 The two armies attack the ISIS controlled areas. Israeli planes bomb ISIS targets while the armies fight the ISIS soldiers. Tanks fire at any ISIS tanks and Israel jams any radar and communications for ISIS. December 31 The last day of the year. They are planning to remove ISIS from the outskirts of Baghdad. Both sides know they must be careful and not allow any ISIS soldiers to reach Baghdad. Israel decides too start it with a ballistic missile which paves way for assault. By 11:59 ISIS fighters have retreated. Some ISIS now either are starting to question ISIS since Egypt as a Muslim country is helping Israel defeat them. Either that or they believe Egypt is a traitor to Islam. January 7 Reinforced they now begin fighting again. January 21 They have successfully pushed ISIS completely out of Iraq. Your turn to get them out of Syria!
War Game Scenario: Israel Vs Middle Eastern Country

August 5th: Egyptian President Dynasty signed the Treaty of Geneva 2015. Egypt had surrendered. 1. Egypt will surrender and Israel will help Egypt in case of a war that was caused by a country attacking Egypt without a just reason by becoming allies. 2. Egypt will pay Israel 30 million, in return they will help rebuild Egyptian cyberspace and release any prisoners from this war to Egypt. 3. Egypt will remove its blockade on Israel. 4. Israel will help Egypt against ISIS for murdering Egyptians. 5. Both side will help each other clearing the minefields. (We don't want it to stay there :/) 6. No tariff on both sides to help speedy recovery of the economy. August 8th: President Dynasty returns to Egypt and gave a speech. "My fellow brothers and sisters. Today, we face a humiliation. We had lost to Israel".again. We did our best, but we faced a new threat to which we were unaware of: Cyber attack. The attack through cyberspace had cost us dearly. It killed our dream of avenging our siblings in Palestine, and it killed your father, husband, and sons. But let me make this clear: We are NOT defeated. We"ll avenge ourselves in the future, and make sure that Israeli will pay. We"ll make sure...that our brothers and sisters in Palestine will get a nation promised to them a long time ago." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Diplomacy: UN warned Israel that if they violate the treaty (Israel is famous for that), they"ll face economic sanctions and military embargo. Egypt declares that they"ll now attack ISIS to avenge their dead civilians.. Egypt began to mobilize, drafting in 2 million recruits to train for the Egyptian War on Terror. Israel, per treaty, have no choice but to send troops to Iraq. Military: Just in case Israel violates the treaty, Egypt sends some troops to the border. The production of tanks and weapons resumed after the cyber attack ceased. Egypt sends 1 thousand 3 hundred eighty three tanks, two hundred aircrafts, and 2 million firearms to Sinai Peninsula. Jordan agreed to allow Egyptians troops to pass through the country. Economy: Egypt invests $2 billion dollars to improve their cyberspace just in case ISIS hacks. With help of Israel, they"ll soon be equal to Israeli cyber capability. HAPPY!??!?? YOU GOT MONEY THAT YOU WANT!!! October 5th: 2 million Egyptians troops, tanks, and aircrafts are now ready to fight ISIS. They"re currently at Sinai Peninsula, ready to enter Jordan with few months. (Unknowned delay, official excuse: We gonna add more troops) How about you Israel? Wanna kick some butt?
War Game Scenario: Israel Vs Middle Eastern Country

I will be Arab Republic of Egypt. I will be attacking. May 5th: Hamas began to launch rockets (Again) May 7th: Israel invaded Hamas. May 8th: World watches in horror as more civilians get killed in the conflict zones. UN declares ceasefire, but neither side listens. May 12th: Egypt warns Israel to withdraw or face "Horrible consequence". May 20th: A mosque blows up, killing 65 civilians. Neither Hamas nor Israel claim responsibility. Arab world accuses Israel. May 18th: Egypt issues 2nd warning to Israel, and began to mobilize. Egypt gave Israel a week to withdraw. The whole world waits as Israel makes its decision. May 25th: Israel failed to withdraw and Egypt declares war. May 27th: Israel withdrew their troops to defend their land against Egyptians. UN quickly sends peacekeepers to Hamas-Israel border. Hamas will now be "no-conflict zone" as UN declares. Alright RTA! Time for you to defend This is my army.

Prayer in School

Prayer should not be allowed in public school. As public school is a governmental institution, it must abide by the American rule of separation of church and state. Furthermore, prayer in school has been proven to subject children of opposing faiths and beliefs to discrimination and a "feeling of being left out". Unfortunately, in today's world, many religious/educational leaders (mainly Christians) who believe that all should be converted to their faith often unfairly treat and discriminate against certain children because of their opposed beliefs. Faith is often used today as an excuse to treat others unfairly and discriminate against them. As quoted by the Freedom from Religion Foundation, "Public schools exist to educate, not to proselytize. Children in public schools are a captive audience. Making prayer an official part of the school day is coercive and invasive." This belief is true. Many who support school prayer do not think of those who are against the religion supported by the prayer and how these children might feel left out, dejected, and discriminated against. However, I do believe that those who value religion deeply and must pray multiple times per day (for example, devout Muslims) should be able to make exemptions for their children, and send a note to school asking a teacher for private praying time for their child every day. The child in question could be sent in the hall, outside, etc. at a requested time/times every day for their private prayer to commence. P.S. I (the author of this post) am deeply religious, though I do not believe in public school prayer. Thanks!
Prayer in School

Dear SIgmaGamer, Hi. You state that Christian values are correct and America is a Christian nation. Many Americans do believe that Christianity and its values are true, though many do not. Saying this discriminates against those opposed to Christian values As America is not a religiously-based nation, and public school is a governmental institution, Christianity MAY NOT be brought into a public classroom. You might say that Christian values are 'just and correct', though just because you think so, it does not mean that they are. You cannot use the excuse "Christianity is right", as many people in America, including the children told to pray, disagree. As stated in my last argument, how would you feel if America was a Satanist nation and Satanist prayer was used in public school? Please answer this in your next argument. You state next that prayer may be silent and a "moment of silence" could be used in the public classroom. This is a good idea, as long as the silence is not specified whatsoever for prayer usage. Children may use the moment of silence to pray, though it should not be specified that the moment of silence should be used for prayer. If a teacher told the students that the moment of silence should be used for prayer, atheists and non-religious children (except for you, apparently) would feel discriminated against because they do not pray. Once more, I know many atheists, and all agree with my point of view. Thanks! P.S. I have nothing against Satanists, I was just using that as an example because Christian values are deeply opposed to those of Satanism.
Prayer in School

(No offence taken my friend. All is fair in love and savagery. And debating.) Pro, To clarify, I strongly believe that the Christian values are correct. In fact, most religious (non extremist, of course) teach good values to everyone. Buddhism especially so. I meant that America is undoubtedly a Christian country, and so is Britain. The values are just and correct, and should be taught. If not as religion, as a philosophy as life. I have a tool to use. Thanks Bing!: - Definition of prayer (n) prayer[ prer ] address to God: a spoken or unspoken address to God, a deity, or a saint. addressing of God: the act or practice of making spoken or unspoken addresses to God, a deity, or a saint something wished for: something that is wanted or hoped for very much - Look at number 2. It actually states that it can be unspoken. And there lies my next point! Why not allow students a minute of silence, to 'pray?' Surely, no one will be discriminated. An unspoken God will be shared among everyone really praying! And so what if a child can not pray? He then... does not pray! End of the story! A child can't say he was forced to pray if... he wasn't.
Prayer in School

Dear Con, I think you have misinterpreted my point. To develop, I believe that all people can participate in prayer, but it is NOT necessary. If someone wants to ignore it, let them! As an atheist, I took no offence in listening to people pray. TV, books, public places, prayer is EVERYWHERE! If any individual is persecuting someone for not taking part, they will be punished as always! I am talking about children, here. Especially of American Nationality (of which I am not.) They are not racist, anti-Semitic lunatics. They are children that should be raised in typical Christian values, promoting peace. While I personally believe no religion is necessarily the most correct, people should be able to pray together. While I was raised catholic (obviously not very successfully!), I still wholeheartedly believe that without one thing binding us pupils together, we would have been savage. I was amongst idiots and trouble-makers. Sport, music, even free time did not satisfy their criteria for silence. By enforcing, though you could argue bribing, the student with the notion that they are misbehaving in front of a benevolent God, it stopped a ton of misbehaviour issues. Thanks. (Like stated, I am Atheist. But not a mean one who hates religion. I am a nice one who merely accepts it. And I don't think Buddhism is a religion, yet a philosophy to live by. Buddhism is fun! Just in case you wanted to bring it up.)
Prayer in School

I agree with your point that prayer should not be compulsory in public schools. However, when you state that prayer should be 'allowed', it seems to conflict with the above point. Hypothetically, if school staff were to 'allow' prayer, this would have to take place at a set time and with every student in attendance. This situation would result in many students with religious beliefs opposed to those referred to by the prayer feeling discriminated against and left out. Prayer should not be in the presence of others of differing religious beliefs in a governmental institution, such as public school. If a devoutly religious student wishes to pray sometime towards the day (as stated in my last point), they may do so in PRIVATE and NOT in the presence of other students. I noticed you mentioned how you had a positive experience with school prayer in the past, though the prayer conflicts with your beliefs. I have also been subject to prayer in school countered to my religious beliefs, though for me, I was often presented with a negative experience harrowed by discrimination from other students. You mentioned that you were raised in a Catholic school. These schools are private, and are not subject to separation of church and state, unlike public schools. Therefore, they exclusively may use prayer in an educational environment. Thanks!
Bestiality should be illegal

Many people have complained about the restrictive nature of my previous arguments for the proper legality of bestiality. Said restrictions were necessary to make a positive case since in reality the default is that something should be legal and acceptable until proven otherwise.This debate is a chance for those who think they can make the case from scratch. No moral or legal standard is given, pro will have to present their own and support it.BoP is on Pro to show that bestiality should be illegal, this will certainly include giving the general reasons anything should be illegal, and supporting that rule/principle against all challenges I make. No need for other debates, no room to complain about unfair preconditions.First round is for Pros first argument, Pro types only "end" in his/her last round.I lied, I will include one set of restrictions, the definitions section: (D) Definitions (D.1) Bestiality – the practice of interspecies sex specifically involving humans as one of the species. (D.2) Zoophilia – the sexual orientation which describes a permanent sexual attraction towards animals by humans. (D.3) Rape – the forcing of sexual intercourse onto an organism capable of intelligent self-determination without their consent. NOTE consent as defined below. (D.4) Pain – the discomfort of an organism, established by some objective observation of behavior or biology. (D.5) Biological Damage – the objectively observable harm that that impairs the value, usefulness, or normal function of some organ or tissue in an organism. (D.6) Consent– and this is important, is defined as “permission for something to happen or agreement to do something” http://oxforddictionaries.com......... .
