Mufasa (the EEPster) should shave his head.

*sigh*. This is quite the most ridiculous debate I've ever been; I regret accepting the challenge. So I see that my opponent has thrown out any mention of personal anecdotes, and solely on facts. This is viable, if he hadn't start a debate that depended 95% on personal anecdotes -_-. 1. Okay sure , play the "no personal anecdote card" Chris. However, this activates my trap card! Kicking your sorry bottom! -Sure, throw out my personal anecdote point. Your reasoning fails on a major part though, I can argue that Mufasa's hair is in fact a buzz cut. You have supplied no image of him, and gave unverifiable characteristics of his hair, so couldn't I simply say the opposite? So by playing your same game, I can throw out this entire debate. -Apparently, my opponent knows nothing about hair care, or maybe he's just playing dumb. I argue for a mixture of the two. There are clear steps for washing long hair, and it isn't complicated. [1] -Just because not all boys pay attention to their hygiene, it doesn't mean that Mufasa doesn't. You garner this from complete probability, but of course, you argue that science is about how "increasing the probability of something being true". Sure it is, but your empty points couldn't very well pass in any scientific scrutiny. -You need to prove his hair physically impairs him, without going to personal anecdotes mister. And again, your own reason that Mufasa doesn't clean his hair is from pure probability, that most boys don't pay attention to their hygiene. This is your only valid point as of now, and it is substantially weak. -I can't believe you pass these points along as proof. He may have always had that hair when he was young, or he may not have. You haven't shown any evidence for either side, so no one can really know can they? All your points are empty and ridiculous. -You have no valid points either. As of far, the only concrete things you have established is that most boys don't care about their hygiene. I can still say that Mufasa has a buzz cut, and you have no way of refuting this without posting up his image, which you have not. -The burden is on YOU to prove he has these bacteria! Do you not understand the simple concept of burden of proof?! But to quell any uproar, I'll go through each of these diseases. And keep in mind as your read them all...where does hair have to do with it!? *Escherichia coli O157:H7 (a strain of E. coli) = Transmission is from undercooked ground beef and waterborne contamination. [2] *Salmonella = Human consumption of contaminated animal food products. [3] *Campylobacter = Raw meat, sexual contact, and contaminated food or water. [4] *Giardia = Consumption of contaminated water. [5] *Cryptosporidium = Consumption of contaminated water, found in HIV-positive patients. [6] *Yersinia = Fleas [7] - I can argue that Mufasa's hairstyle is a buzzcut. It doesn't matter if it comes in contact anyway, you have to prove it's not cleaned and that if it wasn't such bacteria as those you have listed can possibly be transmitted by this. 2. You have to directly engage yourself in texting, involving your eye focus and your fingers. - If I see another ridiculous point, I will slam my head into something. 3. "People blank out and don't pay attention to their sensory signals, when distracted. Can't you relate?" -Prove it. Can I relate? No. Do I blank out? No. These are personal anecdotes huh? Don't bite, you have no feasible points to begin with. *Conclusion* My opponent has brought up UTTERLY ridiculous points. Challenging me to a debate begging for anecdotal evidence, and in the same breath disallowing such evidence is quite humorous. My point still stands that he shows no valid image of Mufasa, therefore what his hair is really like can't be confirmed. For the sake of argument, even so his description is accurate, his arguments about contamination have been debunked. His argument about "hypnotizing" others is an empty claim with no merit. His argument about the toughness of washing long hair was easily refuted with a little background information into hair care. His points about parents are utterly empty with no evidence. In fact, his ONLY concrete point is that most boys don't care about their personal hygiene. This unsubstantial statistic does not mean Mufasa doesn't care about his personal hygiene. Even if he didn't, following this same line of reasoning, this would mean that almost every boy should shave their hair from this single point unless my opponent had more evidence, but all of his other points have failed, and this is why I urge a strong vote for CON. ---Reference--- 1. http://www.ehow.com... 2. http://en.wikipedia.org... 3. http://www.vet.uga.edu... 4. http://en.wikipedia.org... 5. http://diarrhea.emedtv.com... 6. http://en.wikipedia.org... 7. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov...
