Report Topic Do you believe the Boston Marathon bombing suspects ACTUALLY DID IT "No Evidence"!

"You've clearly never read the transcript of the hearing and apparently not heard that he was even heard. Please, inform yourseld, http://documents.latimes.com...... . The fact that hearings are done even when the suspect is still in an hospital is not that extraordinary. What is the alternative ? Do you wait til he can walk ? Wait til he can run ? Wait til he doesn't have any more migraines ? Wait til the bruises are not visible ? What's the threshold ? The threshold has been put when the suspect can respond, and that's what's been done. At ANY point before the hearing started he could have just communicated "No, I can't talk I'm too bad" but he chose not to. Read the transcript, and the questions asked by the court." I did and it's soooooo shady, it speaks for itself. It's clearly stating that the suspect's responses are all by nodding his head "not even talking". So yo obviously didn't read from a bias point of view and you read it based on feeling that they are bomber and they should be dead just like any conservative would read and think. And no don't wait until he is up on his legs so he can run away. They just need to wait until he is some what recovered so he is in a stable condition and is able to talk and think straight. You've never been injured and hospitalized that's why you don't know how it feels. I have been to a minor surgery to my knee and I wasn't able to think straight for the next 2 weeks because of the pain "even with pain relievers", as any one how it feels while recovering from an injury or a surgery. I believe you are talking emotionally and all what is going on in your head is "damn it! these terrorist did it again!!". How about reading between the lines and uncovering the lies and see what you'll find out. It looks like I'm just wasting time responding to you. Just please go ahead and re-read the court hearing but with open mind and if you can't be open minded have someone else in your family to read it for you, young or old and just don't tell them that this is the bombing terrorist and you'll be surprised of their responses as they gonna say that it is inhuman to have a hearing in someone's hospital room after a couple days of sustaining a serious injuries all over his body!! Did you see the grenade that blew up in his face in the boat in one of the videos. I don't wish you bad but if you had one blow up in your face I don't think you'll be able to recover for months or think straight for weeks. Sorry for the harsh example but you seem to block your brain from receiving any information in opposition to what you believe as solid evidence that are actually very weak and inconsistent. Thanks!

Well since they made sure to shoot him in his throught, disable his tongue, have someone write for him " I still don't get how someone would read someone else's mind and write down the information?!!" and Miranda rights wasn't read for him either... then this thing stinks big time! what's gonna happen is they will get a corrupted judge and show him the irrelevant pictures as evidence and they will get a plea deal out of the poor kid in order for him to avoid the death penalty. I just feel sorry for all of those families who lost their loved ones for some missed up government plan to make us feel that we need more security, it's like they trying to say: hey Americans, don't ever think if Binladen is dead that you are safe!". We'll have more incidents like this one over and over again to keep us busy and feeling insecure. If you want me to believe that these guys actually did it then I would like to see all of the FBI being investigated for not doing their and job of protecting us and having ZERO intelligent information regarding this indecent. And again how come the K9's weren't able to detect bombs material?!! I actually did a search and found that there are certain materials that have the ability to disable dog's sense of smell,,so here we go again!!! NON of the evidence adds up and this bombing just got more Americans thinking more seriously about how missed up our government is and how it would go in order to protect its own agenda. Sorry again to all of our victims and my heart goes out to all of you.

I think this debate will clearly levitate around dispelling the misunderstandings of Con. His whole arguments seems to be the argument from ignorance "I can't understand how they could have done it therefore they didn't". It is definitely not a rational position. Now, I won't deny I also share a part of the BOP, because my position as P is "they actually did it". I believe there is sufficient evidence to have them prime suspects in this investigation. Every suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law though, and the actual guilt in the face of the law will be decided by trial, not by my position. Not all evidence that is against them is currently public because we want them to have a fair trial. But even with the limited information we have, for now the position that is most reasonable is there guilt. Taking the opposite position seems to require believing in massive evidence falsification and a lot of cognitive dissonance (i.e. requiring that the people that supposedly framed them are at the same time incredible manipulators and as dumb as a fly). Con, bring your case, and please stay focused, address one point at a time, not thousands in a paragraph like in your opening round.
Atheism is a Religion

First off I would like to address Taoism . Laozi is worshiped in some sects of Taoism . It is not excepted as the main God by all sects and one cannot come to that conclusion with the information you provided . Laozi also was just a philosopher to most sects of Taoism just as Confucius was to Confucians a writer pertaining to moral code. Though some sects may worship him he is not accepted widely as there supreme God. So if my statement ""Atheism is not only the disbelief in a God but the disbelief in almost any spiritual realm or thing..." that means Atheist have to believe in some kind of God or Godly thing . Why ? Because a spiritual realm implies just that . These are things you cannot hold or touch or be proven to exist as they are incorporeal . Spiritual as defined by MW is "of or relating to religion or religious belief." Yet the endowment of this information will surely be discarded by a notion that changes thing from fact to speculation . In your closing statement you said those things I identified are not done in the name of atheism . They are done in the proof of atheism not in the name . No atheist argues creationism . You cannot prove that they are not truly done in the name of atheism just as most sects of Christians claim Sunday as their Sabbath yet the Sabbath is the seventh day according to their holy book . It is not done in the name of Christianity but in the name of tradition and thus becomes a trait of Christianity and can identify most Christians with such . We are speaking upon generalizations of a particular group (Atheist ) and comparing them with many general groups . When I speak upon Atheist the Con must remember I do not speak upon every existing atheist but the general majority . Atheism definitely shares common ideology and this is surely what makes it a religion . Skeptics surely do not have ground in their belief or lack of belief but Atheist surely do . The problem in this debate is not whether Atheism is a religion but what religion is in consensus . This will make the debate difficult and one must come to agreement on what this term truly is and what it is not.
Atheism is a Religion

I will argue that Atheism is a system of religion and will provide adequate evidence to prove this statement . My first clause will include the fact that you failed as many others who are trying to be persuasive to provide the full definition of a term this being religion as written in the Webster dictionary . To make this clear we must understand that words in the English language tend to have multiple meanings and with such stipulations we must include these details so our readers are informed accurately and come to an educated conclusion. In basic terms a change in the amount of definition you provided is not only a requisite but may surely annul your basis for your argument . I will now provide both the simple and full definitions of Religion from the Merriam -Webster . Religion simple definition : 1: the belief in a god or in a group of gods 2: an organized system of beliefs, ceremonies, and rules used to worship a god or a group of gods 3: an interest, a belief, or an activity that is very important to a person or group Religion Full definition : 1 a : the state of a religious b (1) : the service and worship of God or the supernatural (2) : commitment or devotion to religious faith or observance 2: a personal set or institutionalized system of religious attitudes, beliefs, and practices 3:archaic : scrupulous conformity : conscientiousness 4: a cause, principle, or system of beliefs held to with ardor and faith Atheism is in concordance with the fourth full definition and third simple definition of religion . I will prove this by including the definition of Atheism from the Merriam -Webster dictionary . Atheism : 1 archaic : ungodliness, wickedness 2 a : a disbelief in the existence of deity b : the doctrine that there is no deity According to definition of 2 b of atheism and definitions four of the full definition of religion and three of the simple definition of religion Atheism being a doctrine fits the characteristics of a religion . For us to be sure of this let me provide the definition of Doctrine from the Merriam - Webster dictionary . Doctrine full definition : 1 archaic : teaching, instruction 2 a : something that is taught b : a principle or position or the body of principles in a branch of knowledge or system of belief : dogma c : a principle of law established through past decisions d : a statement of fundamental government policy especially in international relations e : a military principle or set of strategies Doctrine simple definition : 1: a set of ideas or beliefs that are taught or believed to be true 2: a statement of government policy especially in international relations In correspondence with the fourth full definition of Religion and third simple definition Atheism as described in definition 2 b is a doctrine . A doctrine according to its first definition is a set of ideas which Atheism is a set of ideas or system of beliefs . With this information one should ultimately conclude that Atheism is a religion . I hope for an expedient and resourceful reply from my opponent . With Regards - Khayil
Atheism is a Religion

I welcome my opponent and thank him/her for entering this debate. I will argue that atheism is not a religion. I will now define key terms. If my opponent would like to propose a change, please specify. Atheism: a disbelief in the existence of deity/ies Religion: the service and worship of God or the supernatural (definitions from merriam-webster.com) I encourage my opponent to make opening statements regarding any objections to the structure of this debate, otherwise he/she may state his/her first argument. I look forward to a civil, educating debate!
is it compulsory that women in india have to leave their parents home after marriage

"i am saying why its a rule" Con needs to prove his in order to win the debate. Although it was unclear what the resolution was before, she shows what it is and what her side is in this sentence. Unfortunately, she fails to bring any evidence to the table that proves that this is the case. As the one with the burden of proof, Con must prove her statement. Not show that it probably is true, could be true, or might be true, but completely true. Con doesn't even give us a source, leading us to believe that there is no evidence, and thus my opponent has not fulfilled the burden of proof she had for this debate. She did not prove that it is compulsorary and essentially loses. With her BOP unsatisfied, Con essentially cannot win this debate.
is it compulsory that women in india have to leave their parents home after marriage

hi thank you for accepting. i want to clarify few points before the debate 1) why its compulsory - its a quesion and if you are an Idian boy/girl than only you can able to answer it 2)my topic:- yes it is compulsory for a girl in india that she have to leave her parents house after marriage.its a rule All the best! everybody in India knows that a girl have to leave her parents house after marriage. Its a fact .my opponent have accepted this challenge which i appreciate but a fact is a fact nobody can change this fact.you can ask any Indian. no mater if a girl is earning or independent still she have to leave her own house and have to live with her husband and his family. it is now became a rule .a rule which is not written in our constitution.a rule which is not written anywhere but everybody follows it . i am not saying that i am against this .I am even not saying that a girl should not leave her house. i am saying why its a rule. why its not a choice. an Indian girl can sacrifice anything. even if she will be given choice or option still she will choose to leave her parents home because she may not be able to see her husband living with her and missing his parents and getting sad. so is it fair ? only because she cant see her husband sad people consider it as a rule an Indian girl knows how to hide her tears well and can learn how to be happy without her parents in new house with new family.she cant see her family or her husband in pain. so that is why she keeps sacrificing things .only because she can manage all this ( here i mean she is strong enough to hide her pain just to see her husband happy)so well so she cant be given choice or in other words i can say only because she is master in hiding her tears it became compulsion on her since from childhood a girl has been taught that this is not her home.one day you have to leave it .your husbands house is your real home. why its compulsory? is it a curse to become a girl !
is it compulsory that women in india have to leave their parents home after marriage

Hi i do not think it is fair that being a girl its compulsory that a girl have to leave parent's home after marriage.its just change in sex now a days even women are equal to men than why its compulsion. Why women have to sacrifice always. Why she always consider herself weak and let people take its benefit. I mean why its compulsory ! Just want to why its compulsory ?
The Battle for Poet Justice...

High pitched, pitching perfect pitches, hitting homes run, giving the fans stitches. I care for no one but myself, cold, manipulative, and stealth. Play the victim because I am the victim, its lonely at the top of mount wound, wolfy's got four walls around him like its Fornite. Money stacked fat every fort night. Haters tryna shoot me, but i'm shooting myself. Everything is about me, me, me, me. Only joking, I fear people. I won't be such an agoraphobic nutcase if I did not fear people. Fear is what fear is, jfk gun shot, bang bang bang. Nonetheless, fear is near whenever the blue green Wolfgang is here. The sheep, goats, ducks and boats come running to me, oh lord can not see... The GREATNESS I POSSESS I am possessed, hell-bent on finding peace, causing conflict piece by piece. Trailblazing like we in Portland. Nope I rep the 6, Toronto Ontario, always disliked the oreo. Its disgusting, just like your face, people accuse me of being copy and pas'e. They clueless, they don't clock that I bring the Ace of Spades to a game of monopoly. I monopolise, divide and conquer, destruct and rule. Conquer like William, set nation like its 1066, burn bridges like its 1666. Great fires, unearthly desires, I'm historic, a legend in the making, this gold is not for your taking. Thank you for this awaking, i'll call the undertaker, bury you like its '98, stone cold 3.16, I'm so great. Middle fingers in the air, man knows not to care. You sh1t like koko b.ware, dizzy like a stupid hare... Hare and the rabbit, you can not dab it. Dab what? you're coordination is blatant and lateness, oh my dayz.... I AM GREATNESS>
The Battle for Poet Justice...

Verbose? In my life I have never heard of such lyrics, my man says "verbose", am I losing already? am I losing already? Umm, I suppose... What to do about it, how will I reroute it. Perhaps I need a clean sweep, fresh start, no bvllshit and no nonsense. So allow me to set the record straight, you can not walk straight, wobbly like jelly, type artist named Jelly, sit in front of the telly with your fatass belly. No that's me, no that's me so sorry because that's me. I'm stuck in a rut, every week pizza hut, the ultimate depression reliever, why would I deceive her?, god wants us to believe her, so lets believe her. Take your pick, you got your Christian god Allah, he be the father of Yeshua. Oh snap what did just say, I point out the obvious, I can not tolerate hypocrisy, but I can be your hypocrite. I hereby declare by the power vested in me, that one can not never tolerate himself. I said I can not contain myself, I am on the loose, running around with a rope on my neck tightening loose, duck duck goose, I bring a snooker cue to that game, I am the Game, Triple H and the naitch, they ballers, curtain callers. Your hair looks like a curtain, you rugged, tramp you rugged, you didn't even say anything interesting, you are not interesting. If you were to release a book, it would be conveniently named "life as a crook", truly a waste of space, the time continuum stopped and slapped itself in the face... when you were born, the stars did mourn. Mourn, I've been to 2 funerals and have shed exactly no tears, cold blooded jeers. My destiny is unique, your intellect so weak. We are poles apart, total opposites, I go right, you go left, I go forwards, you go backwards, lord knows you are backwards. So allow me to pose this question for the cameras, no i'm not a model, trashtalk like glenn hoddle... What is the opposite of weakness? GREATNESS I AM... GREATNESS
The Battle for Poet Justice...

First off, before we commence this battle of whits, allow me to rewind time for you, so you can sit back, adjust yourself, and witness greatness being personified. Are you comfortable?, well don't be, because I'm about to take you the cleaners... Clean this picture and frame it, It's 2006 and I'm on a primary school trip on The Isle of Wight, you name it, I remember this clearly, memory held so dearly. Twas a midwinter's Wednesday and a group activity was planned, but I got sidetracked, soul lost on land. They had no clue, nonetheless I returned to my cabin with a wet shoe, in tears, but I made it, so cheers cheers cheers... That there in a twisted almond nutshell is who I am, for I am a lone wolf styled individualist. If you tell me to go left, I'll slap you and go right, because I AM ALWAYS RIGHT, everyday trash talk fight, yes you're dealing with an antagonistic fright. Nightmare, I am everyone's nightmare. Elm Street, I'll be in your dreams like we in Elm Street. Don't get it twisted, this huge ego is a defense mechanism, I am an honest and integral person at heart, but my name means king o'heart, therefore I have many demons to discart. Seems like the wolf is stuck in inferno circle 9, Satan is ice cold divine. Doubt I'll ever be fine. Whine Whine Whine. Suppressed, Repressed, or Depressed, call it what you like, man rideth his own bike. I stop for no one, cut you off like you're no one. If I sold this, it be no.1. Number one like crazy in love... I need love, but I can't accept it, the ultimate dilemma. I speak knowledge like I'm dai lama. I am just a walking wound, sob story walking aimlessly in to a maze surrounded by thorns. Thorns, I am Jesus, I'll sting myself to save this plagued planet just like a bee stings when in danger, condemned to this apathetic lifestyle, I sting myself. Bruised, bemused, and confused, I sting myself in to God's ambrosial abode. Living life kamikaze mode. What better way to intimidate someone. I fully believe a maniac is more dangerous than a trained soldier, for you can not predict the unpredictable. I'll bring dice to a game of hide and seek, Your move my friend, you better not to hide and seek.... GREATNESS, I AM GREATNESS
Not Voting in Elections Will Make More of a Difference than Voting

As the BoP is shared, I will be arguing that Voting in Elections will make more of a difference than not voting. My contentions are as follows:1) Voting accurately polls a populus2) Voting officially elects government offices3) Voting increases the quality of a nation's overseas representation4) Voting helps the economy5) Voting voices the opinions of AmericansThese will be further expanded during the second round of this debate.
creation vs evolution

I think your misunderstandings stem from a simplistic view of the physical laws you cite. Let me explain. The Conservation of Angular Momentum applies, as you said, in a frictionless environment. Essentially, things will spin in the same direction unless something else causes them to do otherwise. The Big Bang theoretically occurred as a closed system in what you might call "frictionless space." Venus, however, did not form in such space. The early solar system was wrought with chaotic collisions of matter, i.e. friction. The rotation of Uranus, Venus, etc. are all easily explained by this. The Conservation of Angular Momentum can't apply because we know that they were NOT formed in a frictionless environment. The 2nd Law of Thermodynamics you stated is missing a crucial piece. Yes, everything tends towards disorder...within a closed system. The system you reference, the evolution of life on Earth, is not a closed system. It includes massive energy input from the Sun. And when I say massive, I mean maaaaassive. To consider the thermodynamic laws on Earth, you must include the Sun. The system that includes the sun is certainly becoming more chaotic, as the Sun itself comes closer and closer to self-destruction every second. Evolution in no way violates the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics, but that is a commonly believed myth. Just don't forget the "...in a closed system" part and you should see why the myth isn't true. I must admit that your reference to the 1st Law of Thermodynamics is a more complex, even philosophical, question. Was the matter always here? Did it appear from nothing by some unseen law that we yet to understand? It is a tough question that science does not have the answer for, but neither does religion. Either your god of choice appeared from nothing or was always here. To believe in either, you must accept that something occurred that you don't understand. The difference between religion and science is that science starts with a question and seeks out an answer. "How did this happen?" Religion starts with the answer and seeks out anything they can to try to prove it. It is why people continue to perpetuate the myth of the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics making evolution invalid. A simple Google search would have cleared things up, but it would not have confirmed what the religious already wanted to believe. The religious only accept that which meshes with their views. The scientific are thrilled to learn that there is something out there that they don't understand...yet! Open your mind. Start with a question! Find an answer! The world is so much more amazing that way.
