Morality Is Subjective

Extending all arguments.My opponent has violated the rules of conduct, to which he agreed to by accepting this debate. The opening arguments are to be made in Round 2, as was stated in Round 1. It's a shame my opponent has not complied with the arrangement of this debate, as I was looking forward to my opponents case. Furthermore, this will have some negative consequences. We have less rounds to debate at our disposal. Also, my opponent has one more round for rebuttal and he has more time to respond to my arguments as well.Anyhow, my case stands firmly and I will continue await the first move of my opponent.
Morality Is Subjective

Resolution Morality Is Subjective Definitions Morality: The differentiation of intentions, decisions, and actions between those that are "good" (or right) and those that are "bad" (or wrong). Subjective: The perspective that assesses the moral quality of intentions, decisions, and actions in a way that is sensitive to agents’ epistemic circumstances. Objective: The perspective that assesses the moral quality of intentions, decisions, and actions in a way that is not sensitive to agents’ epistemic circumstances. Burden of proof The burden of proof will be shared. Pro has to argue that there is more reason to believe that morality is subjective than objective, while con has to argue there is equal or more reason to believe that morality is objective than subjective. Argumentation R1: Acceptance. R2: Opening arguments. R3: Furthering arguments, rebuttals. R4: Closing arguments. No new arguments allowed. Rules: No semantics allowed

Social Media for people only above age 20

People under the age of 20 are still immature and have no idea what they are getting into. The world Wide web is both beautiful as it is horrific, social media websites are destroying the brains of a children around the globe. The Internet is being abused by children and predators out there on the web. Adults using hooks to steal kids from there parents who hold there children in high esteem. Still social media is a big hook that predators use to catch a child. Social media distracts them and puts them in a temptation to do mostly bad stuff. Social media is destroying lives and is being used as a tree to hide behind instead of facing a gruesome fact of life, that is called reality. The kids under 20 should not be allowed because reality will be too hard for them to face.
The National League Should Adopt the DH rule

Frankly, I could argue that the NL formula is superior (as 4 of the last 6 WS champs are NL teams), and the AL should drop the DH. It's all a matter of preference. However, consider the ramifications of both leagues utilizing the DH. HS, College, and minor league teams would obviously follow suit and not require players to play both defensively and offensively. This would drastically lower the quality of fundamentals across the board and pigeonhole athletes into hyper-specific roles, limiting their growth. Bottomline is, AL fanbases cannot fathom why the puny little men pick up the bat, and NL fanbases don't want to see their brand of baseball dumbed down. To which I say, fine, let both leagues keep their identity. As the old saying goes, "if it isn't broke, don't fix it." And MLB baseball is definitely not broke after registering north of $9.5 billion in revenue for the 2015 season. http://bleacherreport.com...
The National League Should Adopt the DH rule

So you don't think it's necessary for the leagues to have a unification of the basic rules?So I guess in the NFL if the NFC played with 11 on each side, but the AFC played with 12, you would be okay with that? What if in the NBA the Eastern Conference didn't have a 3-point line but the Western Conference did - that would be alright by you? It's a basic rule. And the better of the two options (either a DH or having a pitcher bat) is the DH rule.Some pitchers can swing the wood? Zach Grienke is considered one of the best. HIS CAREER BATTING AVERAGE IS .217!That. sucks. Make the rules uniform. In a few years people will even forget that once upon a time we were forced to watch the charade of someone who is paid to pitch, very badly trying to hit. Baseball needs to do something to shake things up and get younger fans interested in baseball. For sure watching pitchers strikeout is definitely a part of the game we can live without.
The National League Should Adopt the DH rule

Why must the leagues unite under the DH rule? One of the few amusing intricacies of the sport is watching the teams in interleague play, the All Star game, and the World Series adjust to the home team's DH rule. Does David Ortiz and all his deficient defensive prowess man 1st base in an NL park? Which plucky utility infielder will get the defensive start for the NL team while the manager gets a regular a "rest day" at DH? Also, let's not forget that some pitchers can actually swing the wood. Adding the DH in both leagues erases any potential for the embarrassment of allowing a pitcher a base hit, or worse, a home run. Why mask that with uniformity? The NL is certainly not struggling for offense, and retains their own unique identity by having all defensive players pick up the bat. Baseball is an all encompassing sport, stop trying to demean the value of all contributors in favor of a dumbed down Home Run Derby. You sir, are wrong. So very wrong.
The National League Should Adopt the DH rule

Strategy? Taking an effective pitcher out because his turn in the batting order has come up. So we get to reach into the bullpen to insert a middle reliever. A middle reliever is usually a pitcher not good enough to be a starter, and not good enough to be a closer. So probably pretty mediocre. Then once he gets hit enough, the manager has to pull (oooh! another stupid double switch) and we get another game delay. The TV broadcast goes to commercials, and then guess what? Joe Teenager turns the channel to find a sport that doesn't bore him to tears. What's more is, since NL teams don't have DH's, the batter who is being double switched in is more times than not some light hitting utility guy. It's simply more fun to watch players play, than watching managers manage. That 38 year old with the bad knees? Dude may not be breaking a speed record but he can still mash like nobody's business. Remember, chicks dig the long ball. It's time the 2 leagues unite and both have the DH rule
The National League Should Adopt the DH rule

I disagree that the NL should adopt the DH. First, the NL requires far more strategy that is not even considered in the AL. Some of those strategic maneuvers include, but are not limited to: Double Switches, when to take a pitcher out, which pitcher comes in from the bullpen, where is the pitcher's spot in the batting order is coming up, which pinch hitter to use Next, the actual amount of runs scored per game is a negligible difference at best for the AL. For 2015, the difference was just 4.11 runs scored per NL team per game to 4.38 runs scored per AL team per game. Third, the presence of a DH promotes more specialization, which makes baseball predictable and boring. In the NL, a 6th inning rally in a close game might mean sacrificing your best starter for the betterment of your offense. Finally, the DH allows inferior athletes to remain competitive longer than they should be. Forgive me for not being wow"d by a 38 year old with bad knees taking 10 seconds to run out a grounder.
The National League Should Adopt the DH rule

Hitting a baseball at the Major League level is hard. Very hard. The best players in the game only successfully get on base 30% of the time. Pitching is a very specialized thing. Pitchers really don't have time to work on batting, they need to spend all their time working on what they do best - pitching. As a result, when a pitchers is forced to bat, the outcome (86.2% of the time in 2014) is usually a foregone conclusion - it's an out. The American League adopted the DH rule back in 1973. While traditionalist may want to cling on to this outdated charade the National League endures once every 9 batters, there can be no doubt that AL brand of baseball puts more balls into play, creating a more exciting and watchable product, something the Major Leagues need in order to market themselves to an increasingly uninterested younger demographic. The time has come - the NL needs to adopt the DH.
Mens and Womens are equal.......!!!!!!!

I mentioned that in my previous argument, men and women have different advantages and disadvantages, making certain people better at things than others. Men tend to be more competitive so they dominate fields like sports, while women are natural nurturers, so they are suited well for jobs like nursing, teaching etc. More CEO's are male because males have a higher risk taking than women, who may be too timid to do whatever it takes. (1) Therefore women have a different role in society than men, but it does not one is inferior or superior, just means that they have different roles. 1. (http://journal.sjdm.org...)
Mens and Womens are equal.......!!!!!!!

Equal as an adjective "of the same measure, quantity, amount, or number as another " (1) Burden of proof is on pro, and pro has made no arguments, so I guess I will make an argument. How are men and women different? If we look at the average man is 5 foot 10 and the average weight is 195 pounds, while women are an average height of 5 foot 4 and weighs 166.2 pounds. (2,3,4) This clearly shows that men and women are different sizes, which means that they will be more skilled in different fields. Men are going to be better made to be soldiers or construction workers, so why should we insist that women work in these fields? Evolution made us this way for a reason, it best suited our environment, so why would we deny what nature has told us. Women and men should celebrate their differences and stop trying to force equality between two different beings. 1. (https://www.merriam-webster.com...) 2. (http://www.newsmax.com...) 3.

Mens and Womens are equal.......!!!!!!!

MENS AND WOMENS BOTH ARE EQUAL IN MY OPINION.Women are now taking part in all the debates, elections and they are winning it also.Women are now allowed to go to offices and they also do the household work. Now housewives are not just housewives, they are the housemakers of our houses.To look after house and family, also needs skills that men don't have.Men cannot do the activities that women can do. WOMENS AND MENS BOTH ARE EQUAL.......!!!!!!!!
Country leaders should be a group of people, rather than one sole political power

Now to be frank this debate is all about efficiency and effectiveness of governance. Whether or not the republic chooses to be headed by one or more individuals does not make it any more democratic than the word itself. You should consider that democracy is the will of the people in place. When one individual is elected to head a nation, it is so much easier to keep track of their progress in the best interests of the people. The system that you have proposed as the proponent would most likely lead to a situation of chaos, whereby accountability, liability and responsibility of the ruling group would be a much dire task to follow through.
Country leaders should be a group of people, rather than one sole political power

Round 1: Statement Round 2: Arguments Round 3: Conclusion Statement: Country leaders should be a group of people, rather than one sole political power. For a democratic country to be successful in terms of economy and citizen life quality its leader should be a group of people with different ideologies and agendas, rather than only one man or woman with full executive power. Said governing body should be elected by the people and each member should have the approval of at least 51% of the population. This will lead to more diversity in opinion, governmental processes will be more democratic, and dictatorships/totalitarianism would be avoided
Are tests more effective then assignments/projects

Think of it this way. If a student has the time to do an assignment he wouldn't be under as much pressure and he would get a richer knowledge of the subject by working with it in a creative way. On a test he may learn what is true or what is false, but on a project he would learn about it in his own way. And schools make getting into college based on like 2 or 3 test scores. I think that the student should be judged on what he/she has accomplished throughout his whole school experience. I think if tests were eliminated completely, then the student would learn stuff without any pressure.
Are tests more effective then assignments/projects

I do not think that tests are more effective than assignments or projects. Tests are just questions that prove whether you can answer something or not. Assignments allow you to express it in a larger way. Assignments allow you to express your creativity and sometimes express your opinion. Tests freak some kids out. Especially because they usually cant use their notes. On an assignment you can use whatever notes you need. I think assignments reflect a students work more than a test does.
inferring the existence of God is reasonable

-thermodynamics (or general laws of energy if i'm stating thermodynaics wrong) and uncaused cause. energy.... it goes from high to low. our universe is going to the low end. it started at the high end. where did that high end come from? from something other than a higher energy? and the same goes for the uncaused cause. something coming from something else makes more sense than something coming from nothing. is GOd the uncaused cause? if he is, why can't the uinverse? well, the universe is like a clock that was set to tick. something had to set it.... that's what it looks like. or a cue ball that is rolling to break the balls... it looks like there had to be a stick. the stick begs the question of where it came from, but we have to draw a line and say there's a mystery.... we infer the stick simply because somehitng coming from something else makes more sense than something coming from nothing. there was nothing then something happened to hte nothingness. that's what it looks like. for energy or the uncaused cause, as far as we can see there was nothing, then something. we can have theoeries about multiple universes etc or an accordian universe but these are just theories. what we see is that it was nothing then something.,,, that's our best observation. id say energy and uncaused causes both lend itself to saying there is a God to explain it. -Near death experiences. most atheists are no longer atheist after these. it strikes me as the most straightforward explanation to say a person died and went to the after life if that's what they say happened, cause that's what looks like it happened. ive seen atheists who insist the most straightforward explaination is that there is a chemical thing going on. i dont agree. i dont think there's a version of the afterlife inbedded in people's genes, but that's what happens on a common scale. it'd be one thing if only some people experienced it that way, but everyone who has the eperience says the same thing. there's tunnels, people say "it's not your time to die" etc. how is this imbedded in our DNA? how is this common? some people say ketamine gives NDE's. but they dont. they give example which sometimes are like NDEs. so it's not reproducable as far as we know. -what appear to be miracles. these things dont happen to atheists. the burden is on them to show similar things happening to them. -complexity. look at an eye, or a watch, etc. this is the weakest point but it is evidence nonetheless. i realize evolution and billions of years could cause complexity that we see.

future in mass communication is bright or not

Some of the points he makes about the current and future Indian media scene are worth noting down " especially for a media student deciding to join a masters course in mass communication and media studies. Here are some quote-worthy points. On Future of Indian News Media "The era when one could happily say that the PM"s media advisor kept in touch with just five top English newspapers was long gone. Not only had Indian language TV and print become more important, but even English language TV and print had burgeoned and the internet had arrived." "Nowhere has there been a bigger boom in media than in India. At the last World Association of Newspapers convention in Hyderabad in 2009, India was hailed as the great global hope for media, especially print." On future of Indian entertainment media "Salivating at the India numbers, News Corp top executive James Murdoch told a FICCI"Frames conference in Mumbai last month that "India"s media industry is a "sleeping tiger" waiting to be awakened." He described global media firms as "grey and tired". "The impressive achievements of the last two decades have not even begun to fulfill the potential of this great land," said the son of media mogul Rupert Murdoch." "Over the next five years the industry is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 13 per cent to reach the size of US$ 24.04 billion by 2014." "While television and print continue to dominate the Indian M&E industry, sectors such as gaming, digital advertising, and animation VFX also show tremendous potential in the coming years. By 2015, television is expected to account for almost half of the Indian M&E industry revenues, and more than twice the size of print, the second largest media sector." On the Need for Regulation "Indian media needs a framework of reference to define what constitutes a competitive structure, what policies amount to being restrictive trade practices, how can such practices be curbed and who curbs them?" So what lies in store for an aspiring media student? If the trend follows in any direction I see it there but a whole range of career opportunities for a person with a masters in mass communication!
search and seizure of lockers and backpacks

Lockers and backpacks exist in various locations - not just schools. For instance many gyms and fitness centers provide lockers to their members, and a lot of individuals utilize backpacks in their every day lives for convenience. Their usage is not limited to students in grades K-12 -- are you suggesting that law enforcement have the right to stop someone on the street and inspect their belongings? If so, why limit it to just backpacks? Why not search through every woman's purse or every businessman's briefcase? The fact of the matter is that people make bad decisions all the time. Infringing upon people's right to privacy will not eliminate the problem. In most cases, determined individuals will find a way to get around the rules anyway (i.e. putings drugs/guns in their pocket, or smuggling those dangerous and fatal Red Bulls or other energy drinks into Gatordade bottles).
the death penalty should be active

No, it should not be used in the united states. I am very much against the Capital punishment. I do not believe that capital punishment/and or death penalty is a good thing. I feel it is just plainly wrong. If someone steals a piece of food, or a small piece of candy from you, or say the store, do you think its right to remove their hand? What if that was a starving child? or a starving but tax paying adult Capital punishment is cruel and unusual. I think we need to keep capital punishment out of any and every country.
the death penalty should be active

The reason most people are against the death penalty, is because they don't know the facts and statistics. First off why send someone to life in prison when it costs more, it just doesn't make sence and second of all if the crime is damaging to one's life (The victoms family) and they are sent to say 30 years in prison it is proven that 3 out of 4 FORMER PRISONERS IN 50 STATES ARRESTED WITHIN 5 YEARS OF RELEASE
