War Scenario: United States vs Any Country

May 22nd, 2015: Beijing, Peoples Congress The Peoples national committee unanimously declares war on the USA. A joint staff meeting between the heads of the armed forces agrees upon the following immediate plan. The North china sea and yellow sea fleet would be redeployed to the south china sea in a massive counter attack against the American fleet. The remaining south China sea ships were then ordered to regroup to the north and await for their comrades to arrive. The Chinese air force command has agreed to send a combination of Su-30 MMk's and JH-7's to attack Palawan naval base, and Chang Chunigi air base. After the air attack, the Su-30 MMK's and a squadron of SU-27's would begin air supremacy missions over the conflict area. May 23nd, 2015: South China Sea, disputed international territory The Yellow, North, and remaining southern sea fleets have congregated in the south China sea and have begun the counter-attack against the US naval forces. The Air squadrons have successfully completed their mission of destroying Palawan and Chang Chunigi. American air power in the area is crippled, and the Americans cannot expect reinforcements in the area for the current battle. May 24th, 2015: South China Sea, disputed international territory The combined PLN naval fleets successfully repelled the American fleets from the South China Sea. The USS Makin island was destroyed, along with 2 American submarines. The PLN lost the Yuan 039 ( conventional sub) the Kunming and Gangsha ( destroyers) and the Xuzhou ( Frigate) Air Supremacy has been gained over the entire conflict area. May 25th, 2015: Beijing, Peoples Congress The national peoples committee unanimously voted in declaring the South China Sea national water boundaries, this decision being only symbolical, still, boosted Chinese moral. The national peoples committee decided to institute a call to all reserves into active service. The joint heads of the military drew up plans for an amphibious invasion of the Midway island. May 26th, 2015: Beijing, Peoples Congress The Premier has called a cease fire with the USA, stating that " We only seek to end further fighting." It is not expected for them to accept, but them denying it would cause international outrage, which may play into their favor. May 27th, 2015: South China Sea, Now officially Chinese national waters The North China sea fleets and yellow sea fleets have been redeployed past the national waters of the Philippine's and are now forming a defensive line backed by a strong Chinese air presence. The joint chiefs of the military are still planning the invasion of Midway.

A few things must be said first. Let us start off with assuming I have already given my citizens the vaccine for this, since I am using it. Secondly, I believe that since we are using WMDs, we should list the amount of causalities caused by them at the end of each round. For myself, I will try and use WHO and CDC statistics, and you can use any official source you wish.
Should Uniforms be Required in Public Schools

This is like my sixth or fifth time debating school uniform, but instead of copying my standard argument I will try to use logic to rebut and build up my arguments this time, for challenge and for fun."Discipline: If an adult wore a slobbish outfit to work, they would not have the energy or will to behave professionally. The same goes for students. If a student is wearing whatever they find in their closet, they will not want to try as hard as they normally do."What do you ever mean? Just because you wear casually does not mean you'll work casually and unwell. Perhaps it is because the uniform is TOO professional, that students don't work as well. Think about it. Uniforms don't feel comfortable to everyone. Furthermore, some students feels like it limits and attacks their right to expression. Therefore by feeling uncomfortable in the extremely-professional clothes, they would actually "not want to try as hard as they normally do", as my opponent claims.School Spirit: When all students are wearing the same outfit, they will feel a sense of unity, even if they do not know any other people. Are people really unified if they wear the same thing? Short people can still be ridiculed by tall people. Racist students will bully others on their skin color regardless of the fact that they're all wearing the same things. People with mental disabilities will remain teased. Our modern society's students are too clever and see through everything, they'll find something to disrupt this so-called "unity". Unfortunately, wearing the same thing does not mean being equals in these bullies' minds.Reduce Non-Academic Distractions:Yet at the same time there are distractions. There are clear cases where students complain about their uniforms, one even about a mere emblem! Regardless of whether the student was right or not to complain, this source [http://ic.galegroup.com...] clearly highlights the problem of students being more distracted than ever with the addition of school uniforms. The case here [http://articles.latimes.com...] shows us a complaint from a student's parent about the school motto imprinted on the uniform shirt. Have students complained about needing uniforms?? Nope. But with uniforms, students become distracted from school and worry about their self-image ever so more based on their uniform. It is obvious that we cannot distract these students. We must have the best environment possible, without uniforms' problem."Also, it will prevent guys from ogling over a girl's cleavage, while preventing girls from staring at a guy's butt."What do you mean? Girls and boys can be equally hot in school uniforms. Students still gonna stare at each other in love regardless of what their wear. Less Stress on Parents/Guardians:Not all work requires uniforms. For those that don't require uniforms, using uniforms will decrease the students' abilities to chose their clothing wisely. My opponent has only used one source to justify his reasoning. That is simply not enough. You need the addition of logic, and actual cases plus evidence to prove your points.Back to you, SongGeek324.
Should Uniforms be Required in Public Schools

I believe that school uniforms should be required because they promote discipline, school spirit, reduce non-academic distractions, less stress on parents/ guardians, safety, and bullying. I will now explain my reasoning. Discipline: If an adult wore a slobbish outfit to work, they would not have the energy or will to behave professionally. The same goes for students. If a student is wearing whatever they find in their closet, they will not want to try as hard as they normally do. Wearing uniforms will cause students to pay better attention and "earn" the uniform. School Spirit: When all students are wearing the same outfit, they will feel a sense of unity, even if they do not know any other people. Reduce Non-Academic Distractions: "As kids mature and begin to form self-identities, designer status symbols become more and more important as they try fit in with their peers. All too often, children are bullied if they can"t afford the new designer jeans or the latest name brand shoes. Uniforms minimize socioeconomic status between students by removing the option for different types of clothing. In addition, school administrators spend less time tending to dress code infractions, as the rules are clear and concrete." See source. Also, it will prevent guys from ogling over a girl's cleavage, while preventing girls from staring at a guy's butt. Keeping the distraction off of the other gender will allow for kids to pay better attention on the assignment. Less Stress on Parents/Guardians: "After taking a shower, waking up the kids, making breakfast, checking emails, putting in a load of laundry, making snacks for later, brushing teeth, and combing hair, the last thing any parent wants to do is have an early morning battle over what their child is going to wear to school that day. Uniforms reduce morning stress by making the process of getting dressed a no brainer. Students know exactly what they can and cannot wear leaving parents with only one concern" when is the last time those pants were washed? Besides having one less thing to fight about, parents also benefit from not having to buy their children expensive, designer clothes for schools. In the cooler months, students simply add approved outwear and girls add tights or leggings to their basic uniform. And since uniforms do not vary from year to year, students can wear their uniforms for more than one year without fear that they are out of style." See source. Safety: In a school of standards, anyone who isn't wearing a certain color will stick out as an intruder. Also, on school field trips, any kids who get lost will be easily identified. Bullying: While I understand that wearing one outfit every day will not eliminate bullying, it will be one less thing to not have to worry about. Source: http://www.davidsonacademy.com...
Should Uniforms be Required in Public Schools

-Opponent drops my distraction argument.Self-expression:My opponent has found a clever counter-plan to my problem. Good job. Yet students are still only limited to certain colors. Tsk-tsk!Changing the policy:Inexpensive?? They cost hundreds of dollars as I mentioned before. "Uniforms will not solve the problem of looking fat."Exactly!My opponent concedes that school uniforms aren't needed all the time.Agree/strongly agree.Why should we trust these parents and teachers? Why not add the students in as well? Even though parents know their children, they cannot speak for them. Neither can the teachers. Why are the statistics trustworthy? My opponent hasn't shown why this source doesn't commit the texas-sharpshooter fallacy. It doesn't show all 3 sides of the picture; we cannot know absolutely for sure these benefits and lack of harm are actually there.My opponent fails to rebut my doubt put into the benefits of (the other) school uniform statistic website.
Homeschooling

First of all, I thank-you for being respectful. A lot of people aren't... but really, thank-you. Second I want to say that I did misjudge your thoughts on this subject. What I initially read made it seem as though you were entirely against homeschooling and homeschoolers in general; I realize that I may have been hasty to judge. However, I still do disagree with some things so I'll lay those out below. 1). I understand entirely what you are saying, however, that is not always- or even usually- the situation. I have numerous friends, yet if it comes to truly close friends, I have around eleven. Only four of those friends are homeschooled. Even through homeschooling, there are still plenty of ways to discuss things with people of various perspectives and beliefs- converse with these people and see their sides. 2). I don't think the way my parents think at all. While, okay, wrong- I'm quite sure we agree on the obvious things such as murdering isn't to be encouraged, cake is delicious, et cetera- yet when it comes to larger things (or most of the things that are debated here) our thoughts clash. For example, my parents are both extremely against homosexuality- I for one support it strongly. I don't need to go into details here, but we also clash on ideas of religion, education and others which may seem strange seeing as they "taught me" but it really isn't. Books taught me, I discussed things with friends and relatives and came to my own conclusion, entirely different from that of either of my parents. 3). My older brother goes to college and is doing brilliant. I am going to college next year, and I don't believe that I will struggle. I have a job (have had many), I make my own decisions and live my own life. It may seem as though homeschoolers don't get the chance to experience the world or interact with other people, yet they do, moreso than some people who attend public or private school. And no, you haven't offended me. I'm not one to get offended easily.
Homeschooling

Hi, I don't necessarily have anything against homeschooling but I feel like public schooling is better because there is diversity in everything. The way you speak, talk, act and think. I completely respect you for being home-schooled but the point I'm trying to make is that if you are being home-schooled you only think the way your parents want you to think, if you spend one day in a public school after being home-schooled for such a long time you will have hard times conversing with other people and you will always stay limited to who you talk to and become friends with. I'm not saying that the curriculum would be different I'm just saying the way it would be taught to other kids vs. you would create a drift. As you said earlier how you still have friends and good interactions by joining groups and all that's great, it really is. You had also mentioned earlier that you joined groups that had other kids that were home-schooled. That's what I'm talking about. If you only interact with kids who have been home-schooled just like you then you're not really experiencing the world, you're just staying in the boundaries. Yes I understand there are circumstances where you have to be home-schooled but i feel like its better to go to school because then the homeschooling doesn't stay biased. But then again its just my opinion because if you've been home-schooled all your life and you decide to go to college then it creates an arc in the entire system because you're so used to having everything there for you it becomes a problem to be independent and being dependent on others all your life isn't going to get you anywhere. I looked up some stuff about home-schooling and it says the pros to homecoming is your freedom, religion, and less peer pressure. Well let me tell you something. We probably have the most freedom in the world living in united states so freedom isn't a big deal because its not like you are going to spend your entire life in school in one class room whereas that's technically the case in being home-schooled. Religion, we have social studies which teaches you about the different types of religions in the world and how everyone believes in something. If you stay home-schooled you will never really find out for yourself that not every religion is the way everyone mentions it. you become very stereotypical to the things you read whereas if you interact with someone of a different background. Take me for example, you're home-schooled and I've switched more than 8 schools in 10 years. This is what I'm telling you from my personal life. Its very hard to make friends everywhere you switch but i know that if i was home-schooled it would be even tougher. But anyways this is just my statement. I apologize if i have hurt you with all due respect.
Homeschooling

I read what you said about homeschooling. And disagree with almost every point you made. Now, I should preface this by saying- I am homeschooled. However, don't think this gives me any sort of bias towards homeschooling. Just because I'm homeschooled, doesn't mean I enjoy it (though I do). I only want to state that I am homeschooled so that you realize that I am familiar with this on a very personal level and can see things from a different perspective than some people. 1). We socialize. I socialize. I have friends. Going to school isn't the only chanve a human has to making friends and living a happy life. I go out and join in groups, meet up with other homeschoolers, participate in 4-H. I used to do Girl Scouts. And I actually get more time to do such things than other people, since homeschooling tends to take up less time than an average day at a public school. 2). It's true, sometimes parents have to work/do other things, and there is the thought that having to teach your children would be a hindrance to this. However, even if this is the case, there are numerous other options. Option A: There are a multitude of online courses that teach all subjects easier and in more fun ways than text books and such. Therefore, the parent could go and do these things, while telling their child they have to do a certain amount of this subject before they come back or else they will lose a certain privilege or something of the sort. Option B: Do things with them when they do have time. They're going to have time at some point. Option C: Have a friend or relative help out when they can't. Things like that are possible in homeschooling. So... still against homeschooling? And WHY?
Mcdonalds is better than BurgerKing

I, Pro, argue that the fast food chain McDonalds is better than the less popular franchise Burger King. This is a simple, fun debate and nothing more, but voters must only focus and judge on who gave most convincing arguments because the rest doesn't matter here. (To the voters: if it seems to you like a really close debate in the end, vote 'conduct' for one of us and 'sources' for the other but ONLY vote based on depth of arguments, please. ) LET THE DEBATING BEGIN!
Mcdonalds is better than BurgerKing

Mcdonalds has the most unhealthiest meals! They are trying to kill you! http://www.foxnews.com... BurgerKing has healthier food choices http://healthland.time.com... That settles it. With all of the things i presented, Mcdonalds certainly doesn't compare to Burgerking! When i go to Mcdonalds i'm not lovin' it, i'm hatin' it!
Mcdonalds is better than BurgerKing

OK it looks like we are going to debate the burgers from each restaurant so I'll do the comparison right now. Readers, it's up to YOU to decide which looks/sounds/tastes more attractive! Cheeseburgers comparison: Hungry Jacks cheeseburger = no onions or fragments McDonalds cb = onions and fragments HJ = Carbs 30.3g MD = Carbs 26.3g Hungry Jacks double cheeseburger = too much mustard and pickles making the sourness take over your mouth; no onions http://www.grubgrade.com... McDouble = diced onions; amazing melted cheese that covers the beef and ketchup completes it http://www.grubgrade.com... 510 calories and 29 grams of fat for the BK version vs 440 calories and 23 grams of fat for the McD"s. Comparison of fries: http://chowhound.chow.com... http://www.facebook.com... BK medium fries = 410 Calories, 4g Protein, 18g Fat, 58g Carbs McD's medium fries = 380 Calories, 4g Protein, 19g Fat, 48g Carbs Burger King's French fries are too thick and mushy, the salt is nasty but this is based on preference. Those smooth, skinny fries from McDonald's are just addicting and they get more heavenly with every bite. in my opinion they have the best fries around. Why, you ask? Because of the light salt that (literally) tops it off, while BK's fries are sometimes overly salted and makes you pucker up and drink half a glass of water. If you wanna talk about ads let me just tell you about the BK controversy in theirs. http://www.today.com... And I can give you three examples of ads that show staged burgers/wraps vs. the reality: their enormous omelet sandwich (the ad says http://www.thewvsr.com... while it's actually http://www.thewvsr.com...); their sausage, egg, and cheese croissant (the ad says http://thewvsr.com... while it's actually http://thewvsr.com...); their Whopper (see this site http://www.dklc.com...). Overall, McDonalds works better world wide, has a bigger variety because of that, and is just better quality than the little food bits Burger King has to offer! LOL we should do a rap battle MD vs BK next time. But that's all for now folks! I hope this taught you how amazing and good quality McDonalds is compared to Burger King.
Mcdonalds is better than BurgerKing

Seriously people, do you think this looks attractive? http://m.blog.hu... Of course not! This is the trash Mcdonalds sells you! This is false adverting at it's finest! Burgerking's whoopers look almost exactly like the ones in their ads! Mcgarbage invests more time making these crappy decorations on your stuff rather than investing in quality food to satisfy it's customers! Mcnuggets? Mcflurry? pfft that's a joke to make Mcdonalds look good! But appearances are deceiving. I tried a Mcdonalds meal and my tank was no where near full. Mcdonalds sucks period! Mcdonalds was made for clowns whereas Burgerking got it's title for a reason. You can order a triple whooper and i guarantee you'll be knocked out with smoked and crispy beef patties. Ditch the little scraps of chicken leftovers Mcdonalds sells you and settle for real tenderized chicken nuggets from BK! http://www.manreviewsfood.com... This person said you get so much they fall out of the box! Mcdonalds settles for smaller sized food. Mcdonalds is a little punk getting schooled compared to the bigger and more dominant Burgerking!
Mcdonalds is better than BurgerKing

Oh come on you guys, BurgerKing is married to DairyQueen! Why not go with what everybody else appeals to? McDonalds takes in over 70 million customers in more than 100 countries every day. http://www.businessweek.com... Mcdonalds BigMacs are healthier than the Big Kings and the packaging is cooler and more exciting. The McFlurries top any icecream BurgerKing sells for overprices. Besides, McDonalds is better at copying than BK! Don't you think McFlurries are derived from Blizzards? (Oooh I once heard that BKing and DQueen broke up and Ronald McDonald is looking for someone. I'm detecting something big might be happening, but it's a secret.) BK never thought of having a WhopperStorm or anything like that. http://www.thrillist.com... Who says happy meals don't make you happy? First of all when your a depressed old teenager you're not supposed to buy a kids meal. So how would you know how they make you feel?! :P And if you look at the source you used when claiming the patties are only 10% real beef, you see that that is most definitely a RUMOR and that the site is biased. Anyways half of the things you say were lies. Ronald McDonald has real eyes so he realizes real lies, unlike Burger King who never stops smiling! (I think your king just wants to fit in with the crowd.) You can smell the fresh, glorious aroma of fries and hot burgers from a mile away--that is, if you're by a McDonald restaurant. BurgerKings are practically unnoticeable.
Mcdonalds is better than BurgerKing

Mcdonalds is corny :p LOL! Jasper! Mcdonalds has the most crappiest burgers i ever seen! A happy meal? pfft! Those meals never made me happy! The burgers look like vomit. Soggy fries and burgers are no where near better than Burgerking's superior quality meals. They are bigger, fresher, and in better quality. I love the smell of a grilled steamed beef patty over a burger that is 90% fake. People do you really want to chew on food that's not even real? I sure wouldn't! All of that garbage is dog chow and kitty litter. If you want a real meal, BurgerKing rules over Mcdonalds. Mcdonalds just fools around making these kiddie apple slices and wings, burgerKing spends more time making a diverse selection of burgers to satisfy your hunger. Conclusion: With these ridiculously small burgers and fries, Mcdonalds is a laughing stock. Please, they need to stop clowning around attempting to humor us with "Ronald Mcdonald" and get down to business! BurgerKing is out here raining profits! 1. http://www.snopes.com...
