"I applaud my opponent for posting a song I've never heard of!" Same here. Never heard of the song that you posted. Here is a really cool one from eve 6. It was a song I first heard as a kid as background music on a video game on playstation. Still makes me nostalgic. It is called "Tongue Tied." http://www.youtube.com...Lyrics: One thousand faces all look the same They're all so boring mild and tame Contaminate him knock off his glasses Teach him to tamper with the cloning process Pardon me sir can I ask you a favor Make me a cowboy like my next door neighbor Pardon me sir can I use your eraser To remove my brain of unconventional nature Take my tongue It's cocked and loaded The board has dubbed you special student Sit alone sweat in silence We don't tolerate defiance One thousand paces lead to the gate They're all so boring mild sedate You hear me say this don't make any sense As I hop up and over the fence Hooked on nicotine and phonics Fun like macro economics Still and quiet like they taught us Fun like macro economics Vigilante thoughts and a cheap guitar I am my own movie star I don't know you I don't want to I don't know you I don't want to

Thanks F-16_Fighting_Falcon for making this debate. I know this will be as fun as the last one!Ah, so my opponent starts with the most popular song by the band that started the whole grundge movement. How can I counter that? Well, there are plenty of good Nirvana songs to use, but I like going for less straightforward options. I've got something heavier for us. This is a song that has a huge bite in it, while remaining true to that 90's feel. Alice In Chains- Them Boneshttp://www.youtube.com...

Thanks to Lickdafoot for agreeing to this challenge. Here we both post music from rock bands of the 1990s and early 2000s (till 2005). This song from Nirvana is called "Smells like Teen Spirit". Before it was released, alternative rock was largely confined to underground clubs but this one helped Nirvana break into the mainstream and is considered revolutionary.http://www.youtube.com...Lyrics sample: Load up on guns Bring your friends It's fun to lose and to pretend She's overborne and self-assured Oh no, I know a dirty word Chorus- Hello, hello, hello, hello, how low? Hello, hello, hello, hello, how low? Hello, hello, hello, hello, how low? Hello, hello, hello ,hello With the Lights out it's less dangerous Here we are now entertain us I feel stupid and contagious Here we are now entertain us A mullato an albino A mosquito my libido yay Verse 2- I'm worse at what I do best And for this gift I feel blessed Our little group has always been And always will until the end

Scorpion is probably the strongest character in the mortal Kombat series

http://en.wikipedia.org...(comics read here down under: collectors edition it states that the comics were in fact written and illustrated by John Tobias so much for the idea that some whack job did them. And you cannot say that sub-zero outshines scorpion it is who ever is playing as the character that is the strongest and by skill amount scorpion pwns sub-zero. How do you expect to get all that knowledge down into a game that was mainly about fighting and the original games had barely any history in them. Okay and we are talking about mortal kombat not Zelda thank you for the info but it doesn't make any sense. Next they do not go into detail during the game to explain the mechanics behind each move or technique what the different possibilities are they want to get it into sessions of fighting that is what entertains people the most. Now if the creators of mortal kombat thought that sub-zero was as awesome as you think he is then why didnt they make him the main character in different movies and one of the best characters in the comic book series. Because we have evidence that in fact John tobias did write and illustrate the comics that goes to prove that we can take into account all of the information within the comic books, also you mentioned nowhere that I could not use the comic book as my reference. Also you making me sick of all this sub-zero outshines scorpion, that is so not true scorpion is miles ahead of sub-zero. Now that we have cleared that crap out of the way you still have not proven or countered any of my prior arguments as I look for you to do in the next round.
Scorpion is probably the strongest character in the mortal Kombat series

I encourage that you use you knowledge as a fan, however I should almost immediately get the vote for the most reliable sources Noobness out of the way? I think not! My opponent claims that sub zero is the most developed character in the series, I will prove him wrong . In the original comic series and stories the entire story revolved around scorpion that is why they are doing the remake of Mortal Kombat (trailer is the first video on the right SO ANXIOUS TO SEE!!!!!) http://m.youtube.com... Not only that but you said that sub zero is awesome because he had his own game well check out this new and awesome game revolving around scorpion. http://m.youtube.com... Powers and abilities: sub zero's ice isno where near as unique and powerful as scorpions HELL FIRE sub zero only controls ice where as scorpion controls fire taken from the depths of hell itself (no competition there) You say that sub zero was so great because he was a ninja before the first mortal kombat even started well then you obviously haven't read much of scorpions history then because he was given the name sasori which means scorpion by his clan as he was the greatest ninja that ever lived also it was said that Shao khan himself even feared his abilities in the art of kombat. Therefore your argument in the art of kombat is moot. My points un-countered: the characters do not get brought back to life that is only so that there are playable characters and if he were to be brought back to life it would have to be by someone else and if you add another character then I get to as well however in scorpions case he does not he gets spit back out of hell. Just because he came back once does not mean that he will be able to do it again and that was a direct result from all the years of hatred, agony, and despair he used to encounter in his un-usual long life (taken from mortal combat wiki under noon saibot) however Sub-zero's younger brother was not of that nature he sparred Lu kang's life in the mortal kombat series (also taken from wiki) therefore it is not possible for sub-zero to come back as wraith not to mention have you ever noticed *NOOB saibot* My opponent says that they would be able to find scorpions family in the netherelm and toture them or something to that extent well if you recall scorpion made a deal with the elder gods that he would fight as their champion for the ressurection of his clan however the elder gods turned his clan into Deamons like him stuck living forever therefore they could notossibly dream of beating scorpions clan not to mention scorpion's abilities in crease tenfold while in the netherrelm. One of the reasons I like this game and series is because bad guys actually can win in this game pretty cool and scorpion is not an evil character he is mutual he will do whatever it takes to bring his clan back. All in all the last thing that would be going through sub-zero's mind would be his a$$. And
Scorpion is probably the strongest character in the mortal Kombat series

Ok all good stuff, and I didnt want to post first cause I wanted the battle to start at the beginning of round 2 and not the end of round 1. But whatever Ok first I am going to note this one thing. I am not going to be relying on wikipedia or any internet sites. I am using my knowledge as a fan instead of artifical information that is correct but doesnt depcit the try heart and soul of the gamer. And my person to choose is SUB-ZERO (the younger brother). Noob points: Let me first get the noobness out the way first. Sub-zero would beat scorpion just because hes the most developed and popular character in the series. Hes had his own game, hes powers have always improved, hes the all around good hero, and he just looks cooler (no pun intended). Powers and Abilities: First off sub-zero has the element of ice on his side which is very powerful and useful. He would just freeze scorpion and wale on him. Besides creating his ice swords he can do ice clones of himself and leave scorpion all confused. As I said earlier subzero is a more developed character there by giving him the edge in combat since he has been a ninja before the first mortal kombat tournament started. I don't know how the comics go and im sure there canon, but im looking at this from a video game fan that has played all mortal kombats. Counter your points: Im sure you can say that scorpion killed the first sub-zero but in the world of mortal kombat no body ever really dies if you think about it they just become immortal and more powerful. And we all know what happen sub-zero became noob saibot, an immortal wraith that roams the land. So even if scorpion managed to "kill" sub-zero (the current one) then he would just comback and even more mad with a brother who is as mad as him. Having two wraiths after you you just torment you even in the neatherrealm so scorpion probably kill himself. And you can say that his whole clan could be in the neatherrealm but they never made an apperance or except when you did a fatality in ultimate, but lets face it some of (if not all) of the fatilities were just random and stupid, so whos to say they didnt pull that out their @ss just for the sake of running out of ideas. Like I said you can bring all the lore into this battle you want buy Im going by the games itself. Sub-zero is the most developed character, he has the better abilities, hes in an alliance with good and you know good always wins over evil (but Im not going to play that card). Overall he has the most experience against anything that scorpion can throw at him, and thats why im giving him the edge. Did I mention he was a cool character (pun totally intended)
Scorpion is probably the strongest character in the mortal Kombat series

I agree this should be an interesting match but you have yet to decide the character your picking as stated in the rules, none the less I will start my debate emphasizing scorpions abilities. First off his immortality, as being a hellspawn (so to speak) he has gained a number of important abilities such as control over hell fire, but the most important is that when he dies his soul goes to hell which then spits him back out allowing him to never die. He is the only character in the mortal combat series who literally cannot die that being said he should win automatically. Next in his abilities is the hellfire which he can control this should instantly kill off any of his opponents straight away,even if they are elder gods or were because this is fire that is being taken straight from the devil himself. Another one of his astonishing abilities is his extensive abilities to make portal going straight to hell in which his enemy is ripped to shreds by Scorpions former clan, also noted from mortal Kombat wiki under finishing abilities there is no chance of escape once inside hell and no way to target the clan members as in many games it is pitch black. That is all I will reveal for my first argument in scorpions favor as I await the decision of CON.
Scorpion is probably the strongest character in the mortal Kombat series

Rules: - Con must pick one character from the mortal Kombat series to fight scorpion and once he has picked he must tell who the person he has chosen in the first argument if he wishes to change his character at any point in time he must notify me by the end of round five after which he will not be aloud to. - The character selected cannot be a cross over character such as characters from mortal Kombat vs D. C universe etc. i will give the first argument to my opponent so that i can create a promising argument worth his/her's while. and i would like to apologise for my lack of spelling and grammer as i do not have alot of time on my hands.
Scorpion is probably the strongest character in the mortal Kombat series

I have already countered your argument with the fact that the comics do not really count. Ok you gave me a link to the mortal kombat wikipedia, but the page says it has uncited information, so your attempt to cite your source failed because the source you cited, WASNT CITED ITSELF. My Zelda rant was to be looked at as an example. Of course there two different games, but principle is the same. The comic is not a true cannon. Sure your source says that John Tobias wrote it (which did I forget to mention the cite wasnt sourced properly) but as a I said early we realyl dont know who wrote it. I fell if he really wrote it, or cared enough about writing it other than just trying his hand at another medium, then the stories in the comics would be portrayed in the game. And then you say subzero doesnt outshine scorpion because of the MOVIES, THE MOVIES. Dude you jsut lost your credability right there. Sure the movie was entertaing, and I loved it. But by no means is that canon and thats something all MK fans can agree on. As a matter of fact your loveable hell spawn got killed by Johnny Cage, JOHNNY FREAKIN CAGE. At least when sub-zero died he died by the main character, not some van dam wannabe. This debate is almost over but I have made my points. Your main point is going off of theese comics that apparently nobody read. Just because something is widely know doesn't mean its widely accepted, and the fans of any series can contest to that. Sure all us fans know of the comics, shows, and movies. But its not accepted to correlate them into the depication of the storyline. Of course there entertaining, but when it comes to the actual game, thats where you depict whos better than whom. Now in no way am I saying scorpion is lame, if anything you put both of them together they could destroy anybody in the MK universe. But subzero has the edge based off of what we know about him FROM THE GAME. 1.He had his own game 2. Every MK game sub-zero gained more and better powers, scorpion didn't get a new move till MK 4 3. Hes a bad @ss hero, hes not some lame "all for justice" hero, hed kill if he had to 4. scorpion failed to protect his clan, subzeros clan is still alive. So there you have it everybody thats my stand on the whole situation, sub-zero is just better end of story.
Affirmative Action

Thank you, m93samman, for an excellent second round. If there was ever an argument for AA, I'm sure that would be it, however, let me answer with my final arguments, and closing points. My opponent says AA is still necessary to compensate for past discrimination. As I pointed out, This practice truly began over forty years ago, and there is no evidence to prove that it has had any success whatsoever. This practice has NEVER worked, and will NEVER work. Reverse discrimination is still discrimination, and is the WRONG policy for the U.S. My opponents argument for housing is irrelevant. There are absolutely ZERO laws that force anyone in this country to live anywhere. In fact, ALL laws are the same for ALL people in this country, except AA. The laws have changed in this country to provide equal opportunity for all, but the problem is the mentality has not changed. Also, it is already illegal to turn someone down for a loan based on skin color. Obtaining financing is based on one's credit, not their race. If someone ruins their credit, it doesn't matter what color they are, they are going to have to live accordingly. That is not an argument for AA. My opponent's argument for average median income is valid, however, I believe that Asian Americans are a great example of a people who have succeeded in this country, without AA. In this country, the only thing one needs to move up economically, is the fortitude and perseverance to overcome some hardship, instead of expecting a handout. Instead of playing the role of the victim, people should set goals, and do what it takes to achieve them, without resorting to reverse racism. " Cross-apply the Pro case; look at it analogically. If whites are pole vaulting with a 10 foot pole and and minorities are pole vaulting with a 5 foot pole, I would *probably* lower the bar for minorities." This is my opponents refutation. While it seems like a good one, my argument is for minorities to get themselves a 10 foot pole, instead of playing a different sport than the rest of us. Period. My opponent states I have provided no tangible harms of AA. I disagree. I believe any racist policy is harmful, regardless of what race benefits. It is unconstitutional, for one thing. Moreover, it keeps racial boundaries in place, rather than removing them. If this country continues to keep racial boundaries in place, people will continue to see the differences between the races, instead of the similarities. I say, remove the boundaries, let equality be the standard, and end the last racist law in America. Thanks again to my opponent for an extremely enjoyable debate, and to the readers, for your time and consideration in voting. I look forward to my opponent's final round, as I am sure it will be a good one.
