Rap Battle

What was that I couldn't her you over my swag The story was so slow and long it felt like nag I'm here for a rap battle not to hear you nag Man my life was harder than that but I ain't here to brag My neighborhood was a home for thieves and hookers And boy were breasts some knocker Relationships in the hood were as slippery as butter Never know when one betrays for another By the time I was fifteen I had a gun and rag When I needed money I robbed a store with my bag then I was twenty I had money plenty Women I chose any But one day I received a phone call And heard my mother was caught into a brawl I went to the hospital for the assist And then here's the plot twist the man sitting next to her wasn't a doctor In fact it was one of the corrupt police officers I beat him last week Tuesday but he decided today was payday He beat me up to a pulp the last thing before I heard was my mother's gulp After a few days i went to her funeral Cried so much that i went hysterical What happened to the officer you might ask Well he died in his last task His body was dumped in a very dirty garbage can If your too stupid to know already I killed that man But all that to me is just ancient history Right now I live in a secret so just call me a mystery Dirt bag you thought your life was bad and meaningless That was only a dose of the very scary madness
Rap Battle

Sorry dude I don't read but now here is my rap: Life in Philly could be nice If you don't care on losing your life And having to lock up everything every night Jesus Christ it's a crisis who'd live life like this? Automatic rifle's leaving the young lifeless Drug's on every corner next to the station's Cop steadily racist, morals on vacation Philadelphia city of brotherly love? Well when the heck does the brotherly loving come? All I ever see is crime and hatred I hate this I feel like so much life is wasted So I chill with my crew laughing and rapping Some of us trap and, some of us act when, Others action's feel like attacks then We have the pig's called then that's when we dip off We all crisscross take different path's shits raw You either rap sell drug's or play ball Actually some make it like my boy Corey College in Vermont best thing to happen in his story Me I am considered a mess a wreck Someone who work's shitty nine to five's for a check My only passion is to be an MC I will do anything for my goal to become achieved "Look at me now!" Is all I'll scream To those who would throw blows and never believed, But now they'll see that doubting me was the wrong choice I am a man with a strong voice screw with Spitter's or the bullies you messed with the wrong boys sew the mentor he'd wreck your entire set if need be And i'll ride to my death if he needs me Yleaf to, Not really my dude but if swi would than I would to And if you ask me we'll attack these, Cracked streets until we unpack these, Tapes from the crates where they'll be packed deep, Until we unload like we do on any track Screw blast the hook this verse is done like food under Reynolds wrap... (Outro) All we see in these street's Is flowing rivers of tears and blood Yet Philly has faith in a man above But nope not me I just have faith in my bars over hot beats.....
should California legalize physician assisted suicide

California is looking to legalize physician assisted suicide ,with a bill much resembling Oregon"s own. Introduced by senators Wolk and Monning January,20,2015,They call it the End of Life Act Option. Section 443 states "This bill would enact the End of Life Act Option authorizing and adult who meets certain qualifications, and who has been determined by his or her attending physician to be suffering from a terminal illness, as defined, to make a request for medication prescribed pursuant to these provisions for the purpose of ending his or her life."This bill is giving a individual of the age of 18 the option to commit suicide through a attending physician. http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov... Its extremely hard for anyone to accept the loss of a loved one, whether they"re a child they raised or a sister they grew up with. Yet they call physician assisted suicide a "just, and dignified death."But as the battle of what"s right and what"s wrong continues, more citizens of the U.S would prefer having the ones they love for a few more days, a few more minutes, or even a few more seconds than losing them forever without a chance to even say goodbye.
Will the Cavaliers defeat the Golden State Warriors in the 2017 NBA Finals

First of all, I'd like to say I'm sorry for posting so late, I've been busy with my school works. Second of all, I would like to thank you for this fun debate. I can't find debaters who takes debates seriously these times, but you really made me happy because you helped me enjoy a debate that was really fun and interesting. I really liked this debate whether I win or not. Last of all, I would like to tell you why I won this debate :D You said that no one in the NBA can stop Lebron's offensive plays, but if that was true, why didn't the Cavaliers win every single round? That's because Lebrons's plays are not 'impossible to block, it's just hard to block. Also, even if you say you put James on Curry, but that not going to stop Curry. Of course he might be a little bit 'annoyed, but I don't think James can block Curry at all. You also said the the Cavs won't lose a three point shoot out, in which you had wrong spelling, but Curry shot and made almost 300 three-pointers. That's not going to stop just because James is on Curry.

Again you just showed a positive weakness of the Warriors. Saying that Curry has good handles and can just make up for a lay up of an assist to Durant well...... because as I have said before marking Lebron on Curry even though he is double teamed by Durant and Green with Curry(because they will definitely not put Thompson in defense so they an let him shoot threes) means Curry's worth as an all star because no one in the NBA can stop Lebron's offensive plays for now.A three point shootout? Definitely not a good start becuse it is like declaring war against Love and Kyrie. Triggering J.R Smith to will definitely make the Cavaliers control the offensive glass.The only thing the Warriors will do in Lebron's isolation play is either triple team him or stay on guard on the Cleveland's three pointers. Pressure will just build up on the Warriors.I am not a fan of the Cav's but I am really moved that they will triumph against the Warriors.Another thing, the Warriors can play a run-gun style and a full-court defense pressuring and stopping Cleveland's offense and making a turnover but they will be toppled down by the stronger Cleveland offense.

You said the Cavaliers will defeat the Golden State Warriors by blocking Curry's 3-pointers? I don't think so. As you know Curry is good at 3-pointers, but that isn't the only thing he is good at. Curry can dribble really good, and Even if Kevin and Kyrie stops the 3-pointers, which I don't think will happen, Curry can dribble through them and just shoot a lay-up.
Will the Cavaliers defeat the Golden State Warriors in the 2017 NBA Finals

With Stephen Curry you say? How about James on Curry is it not clear to you that James would really pressure Curry and will cause him to be insufficient? I am not underestimating Curry but with the Cavs controlling offensive play, making James isolated because definitely there would be no one who can stop Lebron's offensive play, having Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving on the three point line stopping the Warrior's 3-point shootout.The Warriors will be definitely brought down by that. Given that the game 2 of 2016 in 2nd overtime it's no coincidence for James to be quadrupled team. Eventhough Durant made a big impact to the Warriors offensive play, pressure will be still on Warriors as all Durant,Curry and Thompson will need the ball therefore exerting much pressure which is coming within the team. Cavs won't loose a three poin shootout and the Warriors offensive play is a bad match up for the Cavs.
The Death Penalty Should Be Illegal.

My opponent fails to realize that the only punishment that Zimmerman can receive is "CAPITAL punishment". It doesn't matter what she thinks should happen, she views him as guilty, and if he is, he will be executed. Also, I've already established the fact that people are kept on death row for approximately 5-10 years. That is more than enough time to investigate. Courts don't like to dwell on claims of innocence after the defendent is executed. What's the point? To the best of their knowledge, the defendant was guilty. No, the government doesn't like advertising their mistakes, did my opponent advertise her mistakes? Did she elaborate on the fact that she dropped her contention? Also, who would want to share negative news? If someone wants to read depressing news, they can do so, but we shouldn't broadcast it for all to see. My opponent needs to look at her statistic 1/10 people are exonerated after their execution; 9/10 people are actually guilty. Judging by the principals of utilitarianism, founded by Jeremy Bentham, a theory that advocates the greatest good for the greatest amount of people, it's safe to say that the number of people who are guilty outweighs the number of those who are innocent. Sacrifices must be made for the betterment of society. My opponent speaks of Capital Punishment being vengeful, Capital Punishment is not revenge; if one of the victim's family members went and killed one of the murderer's family members, then yes, that would be vengeful. But fortunately we have a 3rd party(the government) making judgements as opposed to the immediate family members who would kill the murderer and not think twice about it. My opponent speaks of the FBI feeling that taxpayers should spend money on something other than Capital Punishment. Taxpayers' money also funds Solitary Confinement, which is almost the equivalent of housing a murderer. They are fed, bathed, and given a place to sleep, it sounds a lot cozier than the street. In a study, there were no executions in certain states who had chosen to drop the death penalty between 1968-1977; throughout these years homicide rates increased greatly. In 1967(The year before the death penalty was dropped) homicide rates were at an alarming amount of over 500,000 per year. By the time the death penalty was reinstated homicide rates had been raised to a shocking 800,000 murders per year. This is a 60% increase in murder. It was not until 2002 that the number of executions exceeded the number of homicides. Thus proving that Capital Punishment is effective. My opponent speaks of jails purpose. Does she wish to speak about purposes? Escorts are supposed to escort you to parties, but they end up being prostitutes. It's not about what the intentions are, it's about what actually happens. I urge the con vote for the following reason(s):-My opponent dropped her arguments about domestic violence, Casey Anthony, rape, Troy Davis, and CP being representative of cruel/unusual punishments.
The Death Penalty Should Be Illegal.

My opponent keeps dwelling on this, I did not imply Zimmermann deserves CAPITAL punishment, but to be punished for what he did. My point is the justice system is flawed and not always fair. People who deserve punishment, as in jail time, may not always receive it, and there are cases in which the wrongfully accused are executed. At times, this was because forensics and DNA testing were not as advanced, or even around yet. Therefore when cases are reopened investigators may discover new evidence that lead them to finding the accused innocent for their alleged crime. Courts usually do not dwell on claims of innocence after the defendant is executed. Also, the government does not like advertising such errors so the number is unknown and attorneys move on to other cases where clients' lives can still be saved. The Northwestern University School of Law's Center on Wrongful Convictions documented 38 "reported" executions occurred since the '70s where compelling evidence of innocence or serious doubt was found. Cases like Carlos DeLuna, Ruben Cantu, Larry Griffin, Leo Jones, Gary Graham, Claude Jones, etc have about a 10-20 year gap from the time the person was convicted, most likely meaning there was a lot of reasonable doubt and controversy. Approximately 1 out of 10 people executed are exonerated, again proving the justice system is untrustworthy. What if they weren't? Whether it is a 1 or 1,000 falsely executed, another life is taken away unnecessarily. The controversy with the death penalty is that both Pro-CP and Con-CP understand the value of life, and that taking another's is immoral. But taking one to be proportional or "get even" is just as bad, even vengeful - a personal feeling that civilized government should not engage in. Capital punishment is almost a contradiction in itself. The FBI has found the states that enforce the death penalty that have the highest murder rates. Since most of the states enforce it, that means violence is spreading not only there but throughout America. A national survey of police chiefs show that they feel the death penalty is the least effective way to reduce crime, behind curbing drug abuse, hiring more officers, lowering the barriers to prosecution, longer sentences, improving the economy, and gun control. They also feel that instead of spending taxpayers money on this it should be spent on more effective ways of reducing crime. Jail: place for the confinement of persons in lawful detention, especially persons awaiting trial under local jurisdiction - that is the purpose, not psychological torture, however one takes it is out of our hands. Regardless, if that occurs it's still less severe than death. My opponent defined murder as premeditated killing, meaning planned, just like these executions are. As a civilized society we need to work together to reduce crime and violence instead of killing off criminals. It is an effort to erase the problem instead of solving it, thus causing even more problems.
The Death Penalty Should Be Illegal.

Paragraph 1- My opponent fails to realize that she has agreed to the fact that George Zimmerman deserved to be punished, the only possible way that he would be punished is through Capital Punishment. She's advocating that it was wrong for him not to receive it. Thus she is contradicting everything she is standing against. He won't get jail time, he'll be executed. As much as she's like to disagree, she said it herself. "Those who deserve punishment do not receive it." she believes he deserves to be pusnished. The only way he will be punished is through Capital Punishment.Paragraph 2- I'd like to see a statistic stating so.Paragraph 3- There is a significant difference between torturing someone and putting them to death. Torture is longer and inflicts more pain upon a person, and that is not the goal the government is trying to achieve. The government is attempting to keep things proportional and execute the murderer. Torturing them would be doing too much. That's the same as smashing someone's brain and forcing them to live life with it, they can't do anything and they would just sit there, doing nothing. Why would you want someone to suffer? That's immoral. She even argued earlier that people wil psychological disorders should not be punished for murder, so why turn a murderer into one of them? Paragraph 4-My opponents argument falls.Paragraph 5- I'm sorry that you were raped, and I'm going to sound somewhat insensitive, but I'm just debating. In other words, don't take this too personally. The reason murder outweighs rape is because when a life is lost, the victim no longer has the ability to feel anything. They no longer have the ability to breathe. They don't get to feel anything. With rape, there is a chance of recovery. Knowing that my opponent is human, I can safely say that my opponent has probably smiled or been happy since the rape occured, sure it's a horrible memory, but she has the freedom and liberty to choose whether or not to dwell on it or not. Attitude is everything. Self-esteem, self-worth, peace of mind, trust in others, etc. that can all be rebuilt. A life, cannot. Which is why we provide such a heavy consequence for murder. Rape victims, they can at least feel happy again, they can laugh, they can participate in activities that they enjoy. But tell me, what do dead victims get to do? Paragraph 6- If a person is a truly hearted killer and they show no remorse for their murder for as long as 10 years, it is easy to see that they probably won't change. Also, in her next paragraph she peaks about cruel and unusual punishment, but apparently psychological torture isn't? Paragraph 7- Capital Punishment does NOT represent days where corporal punishments were common punishments. By that logic, I would assume that people of Egypt and Saudi Arabia are representative of 9/11? No. They were not responsible for what occured. That's like me blaming every white person today for having ancestors who once owned my ancestors. It's not their fault.
The Death Penalty Should Be Illegal.

My question "where is the justice in that?" does not imply that I "clearly" believe he should be put to death. If I did, I would not be pro in this debate. By mentioning the tragic controversy occurring in our country involving Trayvon Martin's death, the point I was trying to get across was that the justice system is obviously not perfect, and those who deserve punishment often do not receive it. If proven guilty, even though in my eyes he is, then he definitely deserves time in jail for such a crime. However, that does not mean he or anyone else deserves to die for killing; killing one for killing another is extremely hypocritical of our society, immoral, and though it may seem "proportional", it does not teach a lesson about the seriousness of taking another's life if one is going to do the same thing - even for revenge purposes, or whatever it may be. I would like to point out that I do think it is a good thing that my opponent states that in Texas there were 138 people exonerated and released after being wrongly accused of a crime. However, capital punishment is legal in over 60% of the United States. With that being said, there are still too many people killed before they are truly proven innocent of the crime. He also states most murderers are sentenced to solitary confinement and, as a result of this, deal with their own insanity, anger, and overall become psychologically tortured. Obviously, this is a bad thing. But, if people feel that they deserve death for their crime, what makes growing psychological problems worse of a punishment? It clearly is not, plus, prisoners deal with this as well. Yes, I was uninformed about the use of the Battered Spouse Syndrome as a defense and how crimes associated with self-defense are dealt with in general. I am glad that these cases are handled differently. I also believe that the raping a rapist argument is relevant because he says the death penalty is proportional. So much more than virginity is taken from a rape that I don't think my opponent is aware of; one's self-esteem, self-worth, peace of mind, trust in others, future relationships, physical and mental health, and so much more are permanently damaged. Being a victim of rape, I know it all too well. If the person is truly a cold-hearted killer, he/she deserves the psychological torture, and to suffer for what they have done, but certainly not be murdered themselves. I constantly mention this to the point where it is becoming redundant, I'm not contradicting myself. Lastly, I'd like to mention that overall, capital punishment displays cruel and unusual punishment: it represents the earliest days of penology, when slavery, branding, and other corporal punishments were common punishments and like those barbaric practices, executions should have no place in a civilized, industrial society. Furthermore, it is unfair to forever deprive an individual of the opportunity to benefit from new evidence or new laws that could change their fate.
The Death Penalty Should Be Illegal.

In her introduction, my opponent spoke of 17 year-old Trayvon Martin who was shot for no reason by one of the neighborhood watch members because he seemed suspicious. She goes on to say that the death penalty was enforced in Florida and seemed to be upset with the fact that George Zimmerman walked free. I'd like to address the fact that she is advocating that the death penalty be illegal, yet she mentions that she is upset that George Zimmerman was not executed with the question "Where is the justice in that?" Clearly, she believed he should have been put to death.In her next paragraph she goes on to state that Troy Davis was executed by lethal injection for a crime he did not commit. I'd like to present the fact that in the state of Texas, one of the leading states when it comes to executions, there have been approximately 138 people that were exonerated and let go after being wrongfully accused. This goes to show that the justice system is still intact and that investigators are being very thorough. 138 people=138 lives saved. While many may argue that it was still wrong to convict 138 people, I'd like to ask what would have been better, 138 people dying, or 138 people being saved? She also brought up the Casey Anthony trial. The reason Casey Anthony was able to walk free was because of the lack of proper investigation. The evidence was either contaminated or overlooked by investigators (in Florida, not Texas). She claims that a killer should not be killed but should "rot in jail for their crime". Usually, murderers do not go to jail, they are placed in solitary confinement where they are forced to be alone in a small room for 23 hours a day and are given 1 hour a day to exercise. This leads to approximately 1/3 of its inmates being driven mentally insane and 90% of inmates experiencing irrational anger. In other words, inmates are psychologically tortured.She also speaks of domestic abuse victims who are sent to death row for their crimes. Unfortunately, she is uninformed about what actually occurs. In fact, women are rarely sent to death row for murder, they actually receive a life sentence in jail instead. Also, if it is a domestic violence case, it is completely different than a regular homicide case. Domestic Violence victims reserve the right to use Battered Spouse Syndrome as a defense, and with the right representation, they can be found not guilty. Capital Punishment only comes into the trial if there was reason to believe that the "victim" was not in danger. Slef defense and murder are TOTALLY different cases.She brings up the raping a rapist argument, which is irrelevant to this debate simply because the consequences of murder are far worse that that of rape/kidnapping. A life is lost with a murder and with rape the only thing lost is virginity. My opponent is advocating the psychological torture("guilt can eat a person alive") of an inmate which is a direct contradiction of everything she is advocating against.
