More People Should Fat-Shame Women

I have checked all of my links and they work perfectly fine including my youtube links which show the irresponsible negative attitude fat women have.No new arguments will be made during this final round, however I'd just like to point out that my opponent has cherry picked quotes from his round 4 sources probably to fool readers. When you read his sources e.g. his source 11 , and what its actual findings are, it is clear that efforts to reduce soda intake have resulted in a larger intake of energy drinks. And energy drinks may have adverse health effects! See his source 11 = http://www.cnbc.com... "The soda decline moved in tandem with a rise in energy drink consumption last year. Monster Beverage volume rose 19.1 percent while Red Bull's surged 17 percent and sales of Rockstar jumped 8 percent despite concerns about adverse health effects from energy drinks" -(opponents source 11)"Are diet sodas worse for you than regular sodas? I think that's the wrong question, said Swithers, who is also a member of Purdue's Ingestive Behavior Research Center. It's, 'What good are sodas for you in the first place?' "-(opponents source 12)I'll just try to sum up some of my points I've made now Fat-shaming does not increase the number of obese women. Weight gain is virtually all explained by overeating. There is no excuse. The youtube videos show that fat women know that what they eat is unhealthy yet they eat it anyway. Fat people are not victims who lack health education, they seek something or someone to blame so they feel better about their eating habbit in order to continue to feel superior through disrespecting other people It is their attitude which makes fat women depressed, not fat shamers, fat shaming does not change the eating behaviour of normal weight women. However fat shaming can make someone realize they have a problem and motivate someone to seek help from a doctor If obesity is accepted people would be demotivated to lose weight to appear attractive to others Fat women don't deserve respect. It is wrong for someone to be happy while damaging the health of others. Everyone's feeling and opinions matter, not just fat women's. People shouldn't have to tip toe around them Fat acceptance groups make more women fat and proud, they create false beliefs about men, fat shaming is the only way to change that and prevent more women becoming fat. Nobody should find fat attractive, or hide what they like. Feminists hate and degrade men Caring about fat women makes them take less responsibility e.g. they won't see a doctor if they think they're attractive Studies which make outlandish unexplained conclusions from just looking at comfort eating, are biased and unreliable. The harm that is done to healthy individuals is overlooked. When obesity costs £47 billion pounds and hospitals are going bust, affecting everyone's health, people have a right to be angry and disgusted by fat women who due to feminism caused the obesity epedemic and are still making it worse Thanks for having this debate, hope you have enjoyed it too

My opponent's round three argument revolves around broken youtube links. My opponent round's four argument tries to question the legitimacy of a scholarly peer reviewed source. Here's an example of how education helps "People are just drinking less and less soda.There really isn't much mystery to it. Some of it probably has to do with the well-known awareness about sugar and its health affects. And some of it has to do with the rise of alternatives, like energy drinks." [10] As you can see education or awareness of the detrimental effects of soda helps reduce soda intake. Here's another source verifying that education is key to reducing obesity "The industry's decline comes amid several prominent efforts to reduce soda consumption, including New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg's attempt to limit soda sizes and first lady Michelle Obama's "Let's Move" program that encourages children to pass on soda. " [11] The evidence is clear, my opponent has provided no evidence that fat shaming is effective at reducing obesity. Meanwhile I have provided evidence that fat shaming increases obesity. Not only that but I have provided a viable alternative of education. Finally to illustrate the importance of education, diet soda does not help with obesity, in fact there is evidence that diet soda increases risk for obesity. "Diet soda, it turns out, may not be the panacea for weight loss that we all thought — and many of us hoped — it was.In fact, a Purdue University study has found that diet sodas may be linked to a number of health problems from obesity to diabetes to heart disease, just like their more sugary counterparts." [12] Obesity is much more complicated then simply over eating and calories in versus calories out. Diet soda increasing risk for obesity proves that the idea of energy balance is only a small part of the equation.

More People Should Fat-Shame Women

Rebuttal of my opponent mostlogical's round 2 argumentI will devote this entire round to attacking my opponent mostlogical's argument. "Although less women might get into shape due to fat shaming, fat shaming actually deters women from getting fat in the first place and helps motivate people to lose weight. " mostlogical This is an unsubstantiated claim. There appears to be no evidence to back up that fat shaming deters women from getting fat in the first place. Thus this is a bare assertion fallacy. Only true because mostlogical states that it is true. [8] All evidence seems to predict the contrary. That fat shaming only causes harm. Even if you fat shame a skinny or normal weight person, the conversation may be overheard by an obese person. That obese person may in turn suffer mentally from fat shaming. "Controlling for BMI did not diminish the associations, indicating that perceived weight discrimination is potentially harmful to mental health regardless of weight. ." [9] I'm confident I've won the debate at this point, so expect further rounds to be brief.Links. 8. http://www.toolkitforthinking.com...9. http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com...
Marijuana should be legal for adults. (Debate sponsored by King La Ding Enterprises).

For my opening case I shall just ask questions that I require to be answered for no information was required in the opening case of the affirming. What is stopping children from accessing the drug and becoming addicted? What is stopping drug people from faking illnesses in order to get drugs legally? What is stopping people from growing the drug and selling it? e.g. what rules are you going to in place because in your setup you have told me nothing? If patients have it for medical purposes what stopping them from smoking it? Smoking it has life-threatening effects on your respiratory system. Marijuana has effects on your mental stability and health, you will have to influence laws for driving under marijuana? like will it be legal all of a sudden to drive while under influence of marijuana? So if people were to start smoking it for medical purposes will they have to do it in a special air tight room? Because we wouldn't want to hurt children's health. Also where would all this money come from? If it is released medically won't it eventually become available for public use? Do the negatives not outweigh the positives? Imagine if marijuana was legalised, everyone suddenly would think that it's some GOD drug and everyone will want to use it for their health even when there are better options available. Unfortunately marijuana has effects on health lots, life making men infertile. Will there be a system in place to prevent these problems? Do you not believe the release of marijuana will make us forget about trying to find other cures. It helps cure epileptic fits, so all of a sudden if you release this cure won't it prevent others from being developed. Others that would be less damaging to your health? Also where are you going to get millions of dollars for all of the costs for this medical marijuana. It will cause lots of problems with infertile men etc which will lead to the need of more money to fix these problems. It like alcohol. When you get drunk and fall over money is spent in getting you to safety via ambulance etc. Where will the money come for these extra facilities? Therefore I can conclude by asking you ladies and gentlemen to please look deeply into this case and realise that the negatives of legalising marijuana do outweigh the positives. Ladies and Gentlemen, I believe if this idea was to be brought forward in somewhat way the affirming team would struggle with the costs and the health of the people.
Marijuana should be legal for adults. (Debate sponsored by King La Ding Enterprises).

The Full King La Ding resolution: Recreational AND medical marijuana should be legal for adults in the United States, because the benefits clearly outweigh the positives. King La Ding Enterprises sponsors this debate with a set of rules, and this set of rules is as followed: If you are caught in an incorrect fact or anomaly, you must formerly recognize the opponent (who is roughly 99.99999999% likely to be me) as superior to you in every aspect of life.
life is beautiful

Thank you for the opportunity to debate this topic.First of all, I never got how anyone could seriously say that life isn't beautiful. Honestly, I'm not sure exactly what your point means... that we can't "take our independent views".Life, and everything in it, is everything we will ever have. Of course, there's the hedonistic stuff: sex, money, food, TV. Depending on the kind of person you are, that might be good. Hell, that might be paradise. But I think most of us tend to appreciate the "big picture" things: Love, knowledge, curiosity, music, literature, friendship, family, philosophy, science, faith, the smell of roses, the present on your birthday, and not to mention birth itself. Maybe all of that stuff sprinkled with the hedonistic things, or vice-versa.I mean, don't get me wrong, life isn't a bed of roses. There's war, starvation, bad times in general, and death. Sometimes, life sucks. But it's the only thing we've got. I'd live a life of pain for moments of beauty and love from my family and friends. That's the stuff life's made of. I'm sorry, but I don't understand how one would rather not experience at all. Just nothingness? Life is beautiful, my friend. Not perfect, not by a long shot, but far better than nothing.
Subbed anime vs. Dubbed anime

(This is my first debate, and I feel a bit anxious about it :P Oh well, here it goes)I will be voting for subbed Anime, and con will be voting for the dubbed. Just to clarify, when watching an Anime subbed, it means watching it in Japanese, with English/your language as subtitle, whereas dubbed is when the Anime is translated and is in English.The debate will have two rounds.Argument:1. The unnatural sound of dubbed anime:Perhaps you have noticed, that when some (In my opinion, most) anime characters are given to actors of another language that is not Japanese, they cannot act their character to the full potential. Take Bleach for example. If you compare the sound of any characters in sub and dub, the Japanese sounds will most certainly be more natural and in-character. However, in the Bleach dub, the sounds of characters are handled so badly it hurts my ears.Acting anime characters comes natural to the Japanese, whereas the other nationalities cannot do it as well, simply because their tone of voice doesn't fit with the characters and the ambient of anime.2. Translating mistakes:I believe everyone has heard of the meme "It's over 9000!". It comes from Dragon Ball Z, and is actually a translation mistake. The 9000 should actually be 8000. Now, this is a mistake that has no big relevance, it was just for an example. But take for instance, the same anime, when Vegeta, when fighting Goku said the technique for creating artificial Blutz Waves is made by Goku's father, which is again, a big mistake. It makes one of the inconsistencies in the anime. There are countless mistakes I don't even want to mention that really bug people.3. Subs help to understand the anime better:Most subs available on Internet, if you have notices, put little notes on the sides or corners of the video to explain the meaning of a certain thing. Either a ritual, attack, or just a certain Japanese word. Dubbed animes don't have this, so the readers can't understand some jargons or the poor translatations just make it worse.Another case with this is when there's a background conversation in the anime. In dubs, you just cannot understand these, but when animes are subbed, these conversations are put mostly in the upper center of the video. While these conversations are nothing special, they can be either funny or somehow related to the topic. While you may thing these are a pain to read, and one cannot read several things at once, subbed animes, which are watched on internet can be paused so the fan can read it all. I, by myself, and I believe I'm not the only one, loves to read everything, and not miss a bit of the anime they love.That's my starting argument, I'm waiting for the Con's response.
Juicy Fruit Is The Best Gum!!

It is obvious that my opponent has not brushed up on his chewing gum history. First I will be rebuking my opponents statement that, "Many people have been chewing Juicy Fruit for more than 5 years longer than Stride Gum." While yes, Wrigley's Juicy Fruit gum has been around longer, it has been alittle more than five years. Wrigley Inc. released Juicy Fruit in 1893.[2] Stride was first sold in the early 1920's by Donald Woodworth Sr. Sr. Sr. Jr. It wasn't until 1943 when the gum was recognized as Stride Gum. "When the war breaks out, the Woodworths become the sole provider of chewing gum to the U.S. Military. Troops chewed one piece of 'Allied Forces Go Operation US STRIDEï¿½ï¿½: The Ridiculously Long Lasting Gumï¿½ï¿½' throughout the year-long battles. Donald Woodworth Sr Sr Sr Jr Jr Jr claims credit for helping the allies win the western front. He maintains D-Day stands for 'Donald Day.'" [1] Stride was then later sold to a company called Cadbury, a London-based confectioner. Cadbury also owns labels such as Trident and Dentyne. Now for my arguments: Stride sells more than Juicy Fruit. While Wrigley outsells Cadbury as a company, but when you compare the two gums, Juicy fruit and Stride, Stride outsells by millions. Probably because they offer various flavors. I rest my case. VOTE CON [1]http://www.stridegum.com...# [2]http://www.wrigley.com...
Rarity is the best pony in My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.

Seeing as my opponent didn't post any arguments I think just 1 is enough for me to win #1 Rainbow dash can fly An obvious reason why Rainbow Dash is better, is because she can fly. There are many other ponies that can fly (if you are reading this, but don't watch the show) but Rarity cannot, therefore giving Rainbow dash a big advantage if the best pony was judged by a race or a fight (my opponent didn't say what would determine who is the best)
Immigration

It's good to see that you agree that immigrants are a positive influence on America. As for your remarks that the blackmail problem could've been avoided if the current undocumented immigrants in the country had entered legally, that is quite frankly irrelevant. This debate isn't about what should've been done back then, it's about what should be done right now. I should also mention that none of the "facts" you listed about undocumented immigrants have any sources to back them up. As I'm sure you're aware, the burden of proof is on you in regard to these claims. However, I will attempt to refute them anyway. 1. I was not able to find a source for the claim that 4 out of 5 warrants for murder in Los Angeles are attributed to undocumented immigrants. I was, however, able to find a similar claim that states that 95%, an even higher number, of warrants for murder in Los Angeles are attributed to undocumented immigrants. It comes from a testimony from Heather Mac Donald before the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration and Border Security, however there is no actual evidence to back up this claim of her's. [3] 2. As for the claim that "2% of illegals are picking crops, yet almost half are living off welfare", the first part is more or less accurate. However, the second part is misleading. According to Camarota, 40% of undocumented immigrant-headed households receive some type of government assistance programs. However, these households often include citizen children in them, and they're the ones receiving most of the benefits, not the undocumented immigrants themselves. [4] It should also be noted that just because undocumented immigrants aren't "picking crops", that doesn't mean they're not working or are living off of welfare benefits. 3. The claim that "majority of gang members are illegal aliens" is another quote that can be attributed to Heather Mac Donald. It should be noted, however, that she was referring a study by the California Department of Justice in which it showed that the 18th Street Gang had a high membership of undocumented immigrants. That's a single gang in Los Angeles County. There is absolutely no factual basis whatsoever to back up the claim that undocumented immigrants make up the majority of gang members. [3] 4. Once again, there is no factual basis to this claim. The Los Angeles Police Department"s "Most Wanted" list is available online, however it doesn't list the immigration status of their suspects, only their ethnicity. [3] 5. I don't see what point you're trying to make here. Just because that's how the law works in Mexico, that doesn't mean it's just or moral. Furthermore, we're not discussing Mexico's immigration laws, we're discussing America's. 6. Undocumented immigrants do not "take more money than they generate". In fact, the exact opposite is true. Undocumented workers pay an estimated $13 billion into Social Security taxes every year and yet only receive $1 billion back.

Immigration

Immigrants are a positive influence on America. In fact, America would be a bunch of tribes without immigration. However, there is a difference. The whole blackmail thing would be stopped if immigrants went the legal way. Sure, it's difficult, but within a few years all the family is settled. They can get citizenship and social security within five years, so just cutting in line only to be sent to the end isn't worth it. I know that some of them are hard workers, fleeing persecution, and I sincerely support them. But the majority...well, I'll tell you a few facts about them 1. 4 out of 5 warrants for murder in Los Angeles is accredited to illegal aliens. 2. As for the "exploitation" and "poor working conditions," 2% of illegals are picking crops, yet almost half are living off welfare. 3. The majority of gang members are illegal aliens. Care to explain why? 4. 75% of LA's most wanted are illegals. 5. In Mexico, illegals (people usually from Honduras going on foot, who need to cross Mexico in order to get to America) can be sent to prison. 6. Illegals take more money than they generate. If they feel oppressed, they can go back to Mexico, or go somewhere else, like Europe or Argentina, who have easy immigration laws.
Immigration

Immigrants have come to America to create a better life for themselves and their children. In many cases, they've come here fleeing from extreme oppression and poverty. Everyday, millions of hard-working immigrants fear deportation due to their undocumented status. Frequently employers will use immigrants workers' undocumented status as blackmail, allowing them to exploit their workers in various ways, such as providing poor working conditions and/or underpaying them (in some cases not even paying them at all). [1] Here we have a system in which millions of people are being exploited and abused by their employers, yet remain silent on the issue due to fear of forcibly ripped away from their homes and/or families' by ICE. Granting all undocumented immigrants' amnesty would drastically reduce worker exploitation. Furthermore, undocumented immigrants generate $11 billion in tax revenue every year, a figure that would only increase if the aforementioned immigrants were granted amnesty. [2] So not only does granting all nonviolent undocumented immigrants amnesty make sense from a moral perspective, it also makes sense from a pragmatic perspective.

Anime is different than cartoons.

Based on the arguments I made above, it is completely false. Comics and Manga uses the same kind of system; each draws its own ideas from reality and the likes. They maybe country different, but all in all, the methods are the same. Comics can also be black and white as shown in the page "http://comicvine.gamespot.com...; The authors proves that comic can also be black and white because some authors are too lazy to colour it. Cartoon comes from Comic, Animes come from manga. The market of the total amount of people who read comic and manga in the world is the same; that is also true with comics. Cartoon is the English word for manga. So, Anime and Cartoons are the same; they are both coloured. And their drawings-mangas and comics- are black and white
Movies should not be banned.

What is the work of the police? To reduce the rate of crime since crime cannot be eliminated. So, why would the police or government as you said not want movies to be banned if it will reduce crime rate. And you said you could make a theory that water is poisonous for the human body. Who on earth told you that this days theories are made just base on ideas. Theories are made base on scientific research, they employ scientific method in trying to analyse and explain social phenomenon. They make assumption's, observation's and experimentation in trying to explain social fact, so don't have the idea that every layman can make his own theory. I can see that you have no objection to fast and furious Pro, that's good. You also said something about banning all entertainment and news. No body said that we should banned News, Radio, Newspaper or Play, Pro what is the topic of concern here. I want movies to be ban not News, Radio or Newspaper. Let me ask you one thing, What do you think is use as a method of entertainment and news in the past? Am sure you know the answer, Radio and Newspaper. News are being spread around the globe through the use of radio and newspapers in the 19th, that is why their is low crime rate in old era because the technology that brought movies have done more harm than good. So, why should we not continue to use the previews method of spreading information and news. As you can see the visuality of reality show on movies make people curious to see the bad side of the global world. If information can be spread through non-visual means like newspaper's and radio, why do we need movies or television at all. The only different between movies and events in radio is visualization, and if seeing this visuality will lead to more crime as we could see in today's world why would we not banned movies. Of course I will not say that watching movie is the only method to learn criminal act but it is one of the methods. Take a look at wrestling movies, A lot of people died while trying to do what the wrestlers does on stage in the real life. I have experience this myself, my brother was a great fan of Randy Orton and he try to do his finishing movies on his colleague and he broke his arm, so tell me if wrestling will lead to social calamity why do we need it. Of course, I did not say that every movie is bad, but if bad ones are more than the good ones, why should we not banned them. Take a look at the world in the past, people live a happy world even without movies, what are the novels for, they are made base on mirror of the society. So, I will conclude that life will continue to be sweet without movies, let us read novels, listen to plays and entertainment on radio and read news in the newspaper.
