Should people with bipolar disorder be allowed to drive

I believe that Pro’s conditions for allowing people to drive are poor. For instance, some drunk drivers have proven that they were able to pass a test (based on the suspension of licenses). [1] I assume these people could drive decently, provided that they are not drunk. Therefore, some drunk drivers are:1. Able to pass a test.2. Able (at least theoretically) to drive well. But we should not let any drunk people drive because of an increased risk. [2] Conclusion:Pro’s conditions are poor, and the resolution has yet to be affirmed.

The project will cost $560 million. However, only two parliament members express descent: Johannes Kurt and Arnold Guchivez. This, in addition with the fact that Russia has no documentation on this person, raises suspicion to the point that Arnold's actions are closely monitored from that point forward. As I see, you cannot lose an election, as there are none.

This is a war debate. You see this is my first one. I will be playing as the People's Republic of China. These are the rules: 1. If you take this debate, tell the name of your country, and tell the numbers of your armed forces for things like vehicles (aircraft, ships, tanks, armored cars), men, missiles, and hackers (Yes, certain countries have the ability to do cyberwarfare). You can not play as the Swiss Confederation. You can play all internationally recognized countries and as Taiwan, Palestine, the Islamic State, Somaliland, Western Sahara, Kurdistan, Kosovo, Transnistria, and Northern Cyprus 2. Your only sources can be the following: http://www.globalfirepower.com... https://www.cia.gov... If there is any other references put them in the comments, I will see them for approval. 3. You can be, joined or created alliances and organizations seen by the CIA World Factbook, you can also sign treaties. 4. You do not have to declare war on my nation as soon as possible, for you could conquer any nation. 5. Please listen to the Geneva Convention, if you do not there will be major consequences. Here is a link to the Geneva Convention: http://www.redcross.org... This also includes nuclear, bioligocal, and chemical weapons. 6. If this AOW Debate takes more time then 5 rounds, it will be extended to another debate.
I am me

My opponent has made a volley of claims. "After all, Christianity holds that people are basically spirit containers, temples for the will of God. " That does not make one a me, as "The me is the order out of chaos, the great attributes of civilization, the powers of the gods. " . http://www.crystalinks.com... "while I may not be wrapped around the waist of a naked goddess, I would like to be, and that has to count for something. " It counts for nothing. . http://en.wikipedia.org... "Clearly the masses have already decided that 'I am me' not 'I am myself. ' " . http://en.wikipedia.org... The masses of Mesoptamia once thought that the earth was flat. Popular belief does not make something true or false. This applies to celebrities (. http://en.wikipedia.org...), conspirists (. http://www.davidickebooks.co.uk... . http://www.davidickebooks.co.uk...) and novice poets (. http://coffeegrounds.wordpress.com...) as well. "Iamme, an organization devoted to teaching the English language. If they don't know what's what, no one does. " The "Illinois Association for Multilingual Multicultural Education" . http://www.iamme.org... does not declare endorsement of the phrase "I am me" as gramatically correct. Perhaps they just thought otherwise. And, again, people thinking that it is gramatically correct does not make it correct. . http://en.wikipedia.org... "At least one paper analyzing communications notes the frequent usage of I am me in conjunction with other phrases. " This book (. http://cat.inist.fr...) does not really cover what my opponent claims. It appears to be an article about marketing (. http://direct.bl.uk...), and it probably says in it that it is okay to be gramatically incorrect in titles because it is shorter . http://en.wikipedia.org... and so gets attention better. Intentional misuse does not make things gramatically correct. So, in conclusion, every possible interpretation of the sentence, "I am me", is false. -"I am me (direct object)" is gramatically incorrect (conceded by PRO, while he tried to argue that it is still correct indirectly). -"I am electron mass" is false (conceded by PRO, who dropped this argument in the third round). -"I am me (religious spirit)" is false (as my opponent is not "order out of chaos", "the great attributes of civilization", or "the powers of the gods", though he may think he is. In no case is my opponent "me", so one knows that the resolution is negated.
I am me

My opponent has done an excellent job showing that I have made a syntactical error. Clearly, my meaning may have been off. Yet I need only show how I am me to win the debate. Well, me intends to do that. I mean, I intend to do that. Sorry, syntax. My opponent states that I can not be 'me', where me is "the way of gods to carry out their divine design. They were spirit-like powers contained in valuable objects." I would argue that, from a number of theological perspectives, I would qualify for this definition. After all, Christianity holds that people are basically spirit containers, temples for the will of God. The Bible and Sumerian gods both posited similar high gods, who could very well be the same. http://en.wikipedia.org...(god) Now, while I may not be wrapped around the waist of a naked goddess, I would like to be, and that has to count for something. http://en.wikipedia.org... Having argued on a fallacy and using blasphemy, I now feel the need to rely upon statistics. http://en.wikipedia.org... http://www.google.com... http://www.google.com... As you can see from the above searches, 1,330,000,000 hits occur for "I am me." Only "180,000,000 hits occur for "I am myself." Clearly the masses have already decided that "I am me" not "I am myself." Let's see what brilliant minds share this understanding: http://en.wikipedia.org... - Ashlee Simpson, one of the greatest lip synchers of our time, has proudly declared that I am me. Do you want to argue with Ashlee? Wouldn't it be easier, on the eyes, to just agree? http://www.iamme.org... - Iamme, an organization devoted to teaching the English language. If they don't know what's what, no one does. http://coffeegrounds.wordpress.com... - An inspirational poem goes well out of it's way to express the importance that I be me. http://www.davidickebooks.co.uk... - David Icke has affirmatively stated that "I am me." If David Icke says it is so, that means that several alien species speaking through him must agree that it is so. Do we really want to tell the entire galactic federation that they've got it wrong? http://cat.inist.fr... - At least one paper analyzing communications notes the frequent usage of I am me in conjunction with other phrases. So in conclusion, in so far as any word or phrase holds its meaning only in that others recognize its validity, I am me and I'll be darned if my opponent tells me I'm anyone else. http://www.answers.com...
I am me

"It's somewhat a pity that my opponent did not posit [sic] that I am myself instead of me" I already did. As I have already argued, my opponent's definition of "me" could not be the correct definition, because it does not fit its place in the sentence. It even says in my opponent's definition: "the objective case of I, used as a direct or indirect object" http://dictionary.reference.com... The reflexive case would be proper to use in this situation. My opponent's source does not verify his claim, it negates it. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It then becomes important to find a more proper definition of "me", as none has been found yet. I PROPOSE A VALID DEFINITION OF ME http://en.wikipedia.org...(mythology) http://www.crystalinks.com... From the second of those sources: "The me is the order out of chaos, the great attributes of civilization, the powers of the gods. The me were conferred by the gods on other gods or on the king-priests, who as the representatives of the gods on Earth, ensured the continuation of civilization. The special powers, contained within the me allowed the holy plan or design (the gis-hur) to be implemented on Earth. The me were contained within special objects of great sacred value, such as the royal throne, the sacred bed, the temple drum, the scepter, the crown, and other special articles of clothing or jewelry to be worn, sat on, lied in, and so forth." ALSO: Consider the following: -There is no way for the resolution to display subscripts because of DDO's code format. -The "e" could be a subscript. -If "e" was a subscript, then "me" would mean "electron mass". http://www.answers.com... This is the most valid possibility for the definition of "me". If my opponent wishes to contend this, then he must propose a more valid definition. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WHY MY OPPONENT CANNOT BE A SPECIAL POWER CONVEYED BY "THE GODS" Me was the way of gods to carry out their divine design. They were spirit-like powers contained in valuable objects. My opponent is neither a spirit-like power or contained inside an object. He is a human. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ WHY MY OPPONENT CANNOT BE ELECTRONIC MASS EITHER While my opponent may have electron mass, he is not electron mass. He is also composed of protons and neutrons. I await a response.
I am me

Certainly I am not Myalgic Encephalomyelitis. Did I spell that right? That was very clever of my opponent to use a word I had a very high chance of misspelling. I had to copy and paste it, just to make sure. I didn't want to give him any undue points, or even any due points. In any event, I certainly could not have posited that I am Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (Copy! Paste! ), because that would require me to use the acronym M. E. , which clearly I did not do. A plain reading of my use of the word 'me' obviously renders to me and anyone else (possibly also me) reading it that- *deep breath* -I used a lower case 'm' and 'e'. There were also no periods. The site my opponent links to uses M. E. as the appropriate acronym. So while I may not be M. E. , I may certainly still be me. I posit that I am. My proof is that I am me. By which, of course, I meant the informal self-referential 'me. ' . http://dictionary.reference.com... It's somewhat a pity that my opponent did not posit that I am myself instead of me, but it is now clear, using the above reference, that I am me, by which I informally state that I am, in fact, myself. Informality being the form of this debate (as I have promised), I hardly see the trouble with it.
I am me

My opponent has not defined any words, so I will make a few assumptions as to what he means. It took me a while to understand what my opponent meant by "me", so I did some research. If he had meant the secondary subject form of "I", then it would have read "myself". This is because "be" verbs do not render their "objects" in the object form, but in the nominitive case. The repeat nominitive for "I" is "myself". So, I did some more research and found what my opponent meant. I=the instigator. am=to be (conjugated for "I") me=Myalgic Encephalomyelitis . http://www.afme.org.uk... My argument then is simple. My opponent can not be Myalgic Encephalomyelitis because it is a disorder in humans caused by a virus that impares the immune system and by trauma. My opponent is not a nervous disorder. Therefore, he cannot be me.
I am me

I am me. So I've set up this debate. I'm sure I have, because I am me and I remember doing it. Unless I'm not me, in which case, at least I can't lose. Coincidentally, if anyone has a good debate topic, it would be nice to post it, so that I can participate in it . .. or so that whoever happens to be me can. **Note: I will play this out as a joke debate. Walls of text will not be streaming like rivers throughout this debate, unless my opponent feels like it**
Sit Ups VS Planks VS Leg Raises

If you're like us, there's probably one area you feel like you can't work enough: your abs. More specifically, your lower abs. It seems like no matter how much training you do, they just stay the same. Well there"s a reason for that. "In order to lose weight and show muscle definition, you need to train the whole body," says Amanda Butler, certified trainer and instructor at The Fhitting Room in New York City. "[You need] to expend calories"and pair that with a well-balanced diet." Maybe you've heard the best abs are made in the kitchen? Which Should You Do First: Cardio or Strength Training? But that's not a pass to skip those crunches and planks. "It is important to train the core because that is your center for balance," Butler says. "Plus, a strong core can help reduce back pain." Not sure exactly how to hit those lower belly muscles? You"re not alone. "Lower abs are very difficult to strengthen because that is where our body stores most of its excess fat," says Butler. "And for women, the hormone estrogen naturally wants to hold onto fat in this area."Lying leg raises work your hip flexors and are one of the best exercises for your tight abs. Begin by lying down on your back and place your hands at your sides for support. Extend your legs straight in front of you and lift them as you exhale until they're perpendicular to the ground. Make sure your abs stay flexed throughout the movement. As you inhale, begin lowering your legs slowly back to the starting position and stop just about 2.5 cm (~1 inch) off the floor. Repeat for a desired number of reps. Make sure your back stays firmly against the floor throughout the exercise. TIP: A great variation of this exercises are the hanging leg raises. As you hang from the chin-up bar, raise your legs until they form a 90-degree angle to your torso.
Sit Ups VS Planks VS Leg Raises

Well sorry this was my first debate to create so I didn't make the appropriate "title", I wanted so say: planks and mountain climbers are better than leg raises and sit ups. Well from my and other people's experiences I've found that sit ups and leg raises result in an irritating back pain, unlike planks or mountain climbers, which don't do so. I think also that muontain climbers ,which is close to planks, activates the higher muscles of the abdominis particularly more than other abdominal muscles. When I do mountain climbers, I feel much energy, I feel my arms' muscles being motivated because of the psition taken, and I feel my thigh muscles also being stimulated.
