Capitalism

GDP: US Nominal GDP: 18,561,930 Now, Laos, for example: 13,761 US GDP per capita: 56,084 Now, China, for example: 8,141 The US has the largest economy in the world, even during massive debt. So the graph above shows redistribution only creates poverty. This is why job creating businesses flee to capitalist countries. Also, heavily impoverished communist countries such as China have become dependent on foreign investment. Venezuela, for example, has an abundance of natural resource such as oil. And look at the poverty there. Hong Kong was under an embargo from it's nearest super power. After capitalism, Hong Kong has retained it's spot as the worlds freest economy, and is not the big shanty town it was. While South Korea has produced wealth and many products, North Korea has produced starvation, and a political religion brainwashing. While I am not saying there isn't poverty in capitalist countries, there is significantly less. Sweden is used as a common argument for socialism, but that is not true at all. It prospered after dumping socialism.

The brain is responsible for consciousnesses

Well I guess il start then :x If I picked up a hammer and swung it at the back side of your head at just the right speed at just the right spot you would loose consciousnesses, You wouldn't die of course "probably :3" but you would still loose consciousness, Now if consciousnesses was something metaphysical in nature why would me specifically taking a wack at your head where your brain is cause you to loose it? Did I knock the "soul/etc" out of you? Or is it possible that because consciousness is generated by the brain, That jabbing or shocking it suddenly will sometimes cause a temporary loss of consciousnesses. Its like when you smack a computer hard enough it will reboot or shut off "just for the record I know that computer hardware and biochemical machinery are completely different" Also you would not expect different levels of consciousness at different times in your life, If you rewind the clock your ability of self awareness begins to deteriorate, First you become less rational and logical > your long term memory begins to decrease > you can no longer recognize that it is you that you are seeing in a mirror > vague short term memory's > and then you hit that critical point where no body can remember past a certain point of youth, This is because your baby brain lacks the cognitive capability for self awareness at this age and relys on instinct, If consciousnesses had nothing to do with the brain then there shouldn't be this correlation between level of self awareness and brain development. I've kept this simple for an opening argument, And i look forward to your rebuttal.
The brain is responsible for consciousnesses

Given that it is quite unorthodox for side opposition to start a debate, Including the fact that side gov started it in the very first place, I disagree based upon parliamentary debate narrative, I invite my opponent to start. One thing I will do is set the parameters for the debate that have not been set by side gov so far. Religious arguments will be dealt with and are allowed, Although not recommended as given this debate is about anatomy and which party is arguably superior to consciousness, A logical debate based on the sciences would usually fit the debate better. Logical fallacies will be called out and punished in this debate. Rather, Let's maintain a consistent and intuitive debate. I open the debate to side government, I bid my opponent good luck and happy debating!
Genetically Modified Food

How can GMO's help people and the economy if it is having a negative affect on them. Many people are put out of work because GMO"s which does not strengthen our economy but does the exact opposite. More than 20 farmers reported their pigs had become sterile, gave birth to bags of water, and had many false pregnancies (http://naturalrevolution.org...). How can they make money from that? Companies that make GMO"s also have the power to sue farmers whose crops where infected my GMO pollen. Even if the transfer of this pollen is from the wind or animals (http://www.nongmoproject.org...). Also when Japan found out the wheat they were sold had traces of GMO wheat they stopped buying wheat imports from the US.( http://www.unconventionalparents.com...). How are these modified plants are supposed to help when all they are doing is causing the country and citizens harm?
Genetically Modified Food

That is only in certain foods, soy is one of the only ones like that, and they are trying to fix this problem. Most are nutrient filled and grow faster and bigger. Would you rather have a country full of men with boobs that are completely fed or another 3rd world country develop with hunger and starving children. This will help every one that has money problems, with these foods, they would have more nutrient and more parts food for them, this could almost eliminate all hunger problems. with more food , growing faster, and bigger. The cost of these foods would drop horribly fast and would help every one get the amount the food they need. (cnn.com). even in the USA these food could help every one homeless an starving.
Genetically Modified Food

GMO's are unhealthy for all organisms. Un- natural soy causes men to grow breast because they are filled with estrogen. The estrogen not only changes these males bodies but it feeds cancers that grow from estrogen. Bee's are dying off because of the GMO's pollen. This not only affects bees but it also harms plants and humans. Without bees pollen cannot travel to and from plants easily. Without the plants growing there is less oxygen for humans and other organisms to breath. Also numerous organisms have been killed and even though the affect on humans remains unknown the possible outcomes are negative according to scientists. ( GMO A GO GO- Truth about GMOs explained in new animated...).
Genetically Modified Food

Not all animals have the same digestive system as humans, the pesticides we use almost have the same consequences. Not all genetically modified foods have these horrible side effects, and the cotton was made to help the seed produce faster, and this will also help 3rd world countries in the fabric making. All the nutrient of the foods help the people in 3rd world countries. (iuns.org) these food help other people in America because of the nutrient level in all the food, the people will be able to eat less but get the same amount of protein, this will protect against malnourishment for people all around the globe.
Genetically Modified Food

The pesticides may be dangerous but at least we know there effect on people. Russian National Academy of Science studied a rats offspring. Half of them were fed GMO soy and they died but the other half of the offspring fed organic soy only had 9% die. Also in India 10,00 sheep died within 5 to 7 days of eating GMO cotton plants.(naturalrevolution.org/gmo-resources/the-good-bad- and- ugly- about- gmos/)FDA scientist predict that eating GMO;s might cause hard to detect allergens, toxins, new diseases, and nutritional problems, (www.webmd.com/food-recipes/ features/ are- bio-tech-foods-safe- to-eat)
Genetically Modified Food

Think of all of the pesticides you would normally use on these plants, these kill the bugs and can harm us as well. With these modifications, it protects against diseases and can actually help not hurt, it does not kill any bugs, especially endangered organisms. (source: healthsearchfunding.org and ww.wisegeek.org) Without using the pesticides it helps the economy, no more pesticide, no more money spent on it. (ucsc.edu). We need to help our economy and this is one way that can save it in many ways
Genetically Modified Food

Unintentional harm on organisms - Even though the GMO's are intended to kill insects and pests sometimes innocent and endangered organisms are harmed. Genes are transferred from GMO's to weeds and and other plants, this causes these plants to kill or sicken un-targeted organisms. Pollen from a GMO corn plant infected milkweed plants which are the main food of Monarch caterpillars and butterflies which increased the mortality rate of these organisms unintentionally.
Genetically Modified Food

there are no allergies to these either they are good and can not hurt in that way. and allot of people are not informed of the real side effects of these foods http://naturalrevolution.org... . there are actually not that many bad side effects. yes there are some very nasty things about them but they are being fixed. More and more research is being done by the scientist trying to help the earth and what is growing. the gmos are not made to be bad things, they are made to help. when did something ever just become perfect the first time... never. they are being fixed, they will be fixed and when they are, many world problems will be solved. so all together they aren't that bad, the nutrient, taste, quality, how fast, will help so the gmos are a good thing and helping the environment.
Genetically Modified Food

B.T toxins go from corn plants and go on other plants. This contaminates them and causes the plants to have undesirable mutations. A foreign gene is placed in a plant cell at a random spot that can change or destroy parts of the plant cell at random this mutation can affect the GMO's negatively as well as the organisms that eat them. The bio- waste of GMO's destroys the environment. Weeds adapt and live longer and thrive while other plants are affected negatively and end up dieing. ((GMO)- Myths and Truths). Other non- genetically modified plants, humans, animals are harmed by GMO's whether the economy or body is directly affected. All in all GMO's are not good for organisms.
Marijuana Should Be Legal

Marijuana should be legal for the following reasons. Also, I rushed this a bit. I apologize for not having a lot of time. 1) Marijuana can cure diseases: Using medical marijuana, there is an abundance of diseases that you can fight and cure with. One example includes glaucoma, which is an eye disease involving increases pressure in your eyes, which causes it to damage vision. Marijuana can decrease the pressure in your eyes and thus improve your vision. It is also able to reverse the effects of smoking tobacco, which is a legitimately lethal substance that can kill you over time. Marijuana can also increase your lung capacity and thus give you better breathing. Smoking tobacco is an issue today because too many people resort to it and we can't just stop that process by banning tobacco, so instead, we can give people marijuana to reverse the effects of tobacco and act as a substitution for tobacco. This only scratches the surface of what marijuana can do for you. It can also control epileptic seizures, can treat Dravet's syndrome, can stop cancer with a substance called Cannabidiol, can decrease anxiety, etc. http://www.businessinsider.com... 2) Marijuana is not lethal My first argument ties in with this argument. Marijuana has an annual death rate of 0, and deadly substances like tobacco has an annual death rate of 406,290. That is a big difference right there. Studies show that marijuana can steer people away from smoking tobacco, which is definitely a good thing. If you look at the amount of deaths tobacco causes every year compared to marijuana, you would see that marijuana is obviously the better choice. I have already demonstrated that it can cure other diseases, and with marijuana, we will have more happy people, less injured and ill people, and less deaths. Also, as an added bonus, marijuana can help people with their driving, and reduces car crashes by 8-11% 3) Marijuana helps with the economy. Taxing for Marijuana can give the U.S a grand total of 6 billion more dollars a year, and a minimum of 14 million dollars in a year. If the U.S can save billions of our profit, they can use the money for bigger issues and strengthen our economy as Marijuana usage continues to grow. Also, WeGrow would be able to set up more jobs for people. 4) Marijuana is beneficial for the environment. If Marijuana is legalized, it will allow high degree planters to grow Marijuana and waste less water and electricity. Otherwise, Marijuana would have to continue in the state of being grown by lower class planters who may be unaware of the consequences. Currently, 5 billion dollars is being thrown out of the window because of the use of electricity. Toxins are also emitted from Marijuana if it's planted and grown incorrectly, but which I'd certainly unhealthy. http://distractify.com...
The New York Soft Drink Size Ban

Now in to the debate- The BanAs you are well aware, a new ban in New York has been implemented banning the purchase of large soda in restaurants and concession stands starting in March. Now, the purpose of the recent ban purposed has been to assist in helping America's obesity problem. I do not disagree that obesity in America is a problem. It is a problem, we are a very overweight country. That is not what we are debating though, we are debating the new ban, which if anything, could actually end up hurting its own cause. Already causing issues Citizens and businesses are already suing New York and Governor Bloomberg for the new ban. People are not happy with the new ban, if anything, it has annoyed the city! Here's an article from the Washington Post about the lawsuits being filed. People and businesses are not happy with the ban! . http://www.washingtonpost.com...Against its own cause? Not only are people angry, but the new ban may even go against itself! With people not being able to purchase a drink over 16 oz. people may resort to other matters, such as buying two 16 oz drinks, or maybe a 16oz and a 12oz. People rely on the convenience of a 24 oz drink, so if they are used to 24 oz, they may end up with more soda having to buy two of them! People may gain more weight and may drink more soda! Punishing as a wholeI also think the new law may be a little unfair to the citizens. Now, a great deal of Americans are obese, actually 35.7% of adults are obese, and 17% of children are overweight. This new ban will punish the 35.7% of obese adults, and the 64.3% that are perfectly fine! Not to mention the 83% of healthy weight children and the 17% overweight children. We aren't helping the problem by punishing everyone for the few percent that are overweight and abuse the soda in states like New York. Punishing as a group, I freely confess, is very unjust. Stats stated above from . http://www.obesityinamerica.org... Freedom! Last and most importantly of all, the new ban purposed will only take away freedom. This is America, if I want to drink a 24 oz drink I should be allowed to drink a 24 oz drink! Who is the governor to tell me what size of drink I can buy? Nobody should be allowed to tell me how much I can and can't drink. Now this could lead to what people call, the "Slippery slope theory" Which I believe is a logical theory in this instance. Once people like my opponent start to stand for things like drink sizes to be restricted by government, you're only letting the government control your life more and more. Once they take away drink sizes, they may go after certain drinks, then certain restaurants. Soon, the government will tell you when, where, and what to drink. Like I said this is America, if I want a large soda I should be able to drink a large soda! SourceThe Washington Post. http://www.washingtonpost.com...Obesity in America.

Art MasterPiece Challenge!

I choose....*drum roll please*From my deviantart account, 9king, link here: http://9king.deviantart.com... GRANDER ART GALLERY. As explained from the deviantart page, I worked on one drawing per day until I finished this, so it wasn't very hard. But I estimate the difficulty would be near-impossible if I tried everything in one go.Each drawing has its own name and different style, desgined to look like someone would look at this and say "there's no way the same guy drew all of these".DRAWINGS FROM LEFT TO RIGHT AND UP TO DOWN:"FATHER TIME": The surrealist piece meant to make you say "Well, I've got an idea of what I'm getting into.""MALICIOUS BUSINESS MAN": The cool and funky caricature that stands out of the otherwise realistic gallery."WALL FLOWERS": The realistic roses. These were much easier than I had expected."BIRD GODDESS": The epic watercolor meant to divert your attention from the "Grand Masterpiece" and meant to be calm and smoothing, just like the coloring employed onto the paper."THE LIVIN' ROOM": A simple piece of furniture and a lamp beside it gives you time to rest before you meet the final three (rather chaotic) drawings"POLICE ROBOT": This is where we first see the action happening--a cool wooden "robot" telling you to stop, before your eyes go blind from seeing the "Grand Masterpiece". :P"BREAKING 5TH WALL": The "Grand Masterpiece" that is probably the first to draw your attention. It almost looks like the fist is really breaking out the glass holding it, and the strong 3-D really makes it seem it's the only one to pop out of the wall, the only one to surpass them all, both physically and drawing wise. "SCHOLARSHIP TO VASE ACADEMY": Another surrealist piece that is arguably more realistic than "FATHER TIME". The cool shading reminds you of all the different pieces and the realism involved, and the variety of colors brings a nice "conclusion" to the art gallery.
Starbucks is Better Than Dutch Bros.

OK so All of this is based on opinion but you have no evidence in this and also your whole argument is one sentence and seriously a "white girl" attraction. You sound like a stereotypical person. Maybe when they gave you your black coffee it was actually your Hot Chocolate. Dutch Bros makes there hot cocoa like that. Personally i love there Iced Cocomo's a Coconut milk Coffee. I guess i just like Dutch Bros. because they have more exotic drinks were Starbucks is the boring everyday coffee.
Starbucks is Better Than Dutch Bros.

I love Dutch Bros coffee!! They are always fun to talk to while they're making your drink. They are polite, make delicious coffee, and are super fast. They have cool straws while Starbucks just has Green Straws. Dutch Bros. uses all natural ingredients and tell you the calories on there menu. Don't get me wrong i used to like Starbucks but Dutch Bros. makes the same thing as Starbucks but 10x better.
Starbucks is Better Than Dutch Bros.

Now....... Pro says what "With revenues of $10.7 billion last year and 16,850 shops in 40 countries, Starbucks is clearly the world's top coffee retailer. While Dutch bros doesn't tell you how much they make. Starbucks was founded on march 30, 1971 while Dutch Bros was founded in February 12, 1992. While 54% of Americans in the USA go to Starbucks as there number one coffee to go to place." I do not see how these can be facts you could just be making up random numbers because your sources are not cited. Also just because Dutch Bros. started later doesn't mean it has made less money. All you need is one person and a company can rise to power like Apple VS. Microsoft. Anyway who says that Dutch Bros doesn't tell you how much they make? "Founded in Southern Oregon in 1992 by brothers Dane and Travis Boersma, Dutch Bros. Coffee is believed to be the country's largest privately-held, drive-through only coffee company in the U.S. There are more than 135 locations in Oregon, California, Washington, Idaho, Nevada, Arizona and now Colorado. Each store serves a large variety of specialty coffee drinks made with a premium private bean blend and roasted fresh daily. Last Year, Dutch Bros. served more than 23 million cups of coffee company-wide, with more than $46 million in gross sales. Dutch Bros. Coffee gives back one percent of gross sales to its communities. http://www.thefranchisemall.com...
Starbucks is Better Than Dutch Bros.

OK well yes it was black coffee and Starbucks has there calories on there menus too. How is it boring everyday coffee when you said Dutch Bros makes the same coffee but 10x better. With revenues of $10.7 billion last year and 16,850 shops in 40 countries, Starbucks is clearly the world's top coffee retailer. While Dutch bros doesn't tell you how much they make. Starbucks was founded on march 30, 1971 while Dutch Bros was founded in February 12, 1992. While 54% of Americans in the USA go ti Starbucks as there number one coffee to go to place.
Chocolate be banned in elementary and middle schools

Too much sugar in Chocolate milk There is too much sugar in it and some may think it is healthy milk but it is not it has disease teaspoons of added sugar and 27 total grams of carbohydrates.According to Michigan State University Extension"In fact, when sugars are added to otherwise nutrient-rich foods, such as sugar-sweetened dairy products like flavored milk and yogurt and sugar-sweetened cereals, the quality of children"s and adolescents" diets improves, and in the case of flavored milks, no adverse effects on weight status were found." So those are my reasons and quote on There is too much sugar in chocolate milk.
Chocolate be banned in elementary and middle schools

I think that chocolate milk should be banned from all schools because I think that schools and kids are getting poisoned. By what you ask? CHOCOLATE MILK!!!!!!!!! IF YOU WANT TO FIND OUT HOW JUST KEEP READING HAHAHA!!!!! I think that you should stop serving chocolate milk at lunch are Health problems, Too much sugar in chocolate milk, and how much you serve it Health problems Everyone thinks chocolate milk is good but did you know it can have major health problems for kids who drink it. Some might say that chocolate milk has no health problems but trust me it does. Some of those health problems are Cancer, heart disease, obesity, and diabetes.According to the American Institute for Cancer Research,"Chocolate milk contains added sugars and therefore more calories that can lead to more overweight and obesity." In other words, it can lead to you dying and not being able to live a long life of playing sports and seeing the new technology.So those are the health problems of chocolate milk
Chocolate be banned in elementary and middle schools

Many children refuse to eat or drink healthy things because of the way they taste, adding sugar is just fine with me if it gets kids to drink milk. I believe that chocolate milk is not as unhealthy as my opponent makes it sound. If anyone has too much of it, it may become unhealthy, but that's with anything. If all they have is the little 1 cup then it will be perfectly fine for their health. In conclusion, schools should not remove chocolate milk. Thank you for debating with me.
Yahweh, the Volcano GOD of War

My opponent would have you believe that the Israelites of the Bible worshipped an unknown "Mountain god" named Yahweh. While I do believe they worshipped a God and called Him Yahweh or "I AM" it was not a "Mountain god." How else would the same God worshipped by those in the Exodus walk with Adam in the Garden of Eden in Genesis? How would he have a voice coming from the sky in the New Testament? How would He create all of the Heavens and the earth? This is the God of the Bible, who my opponent claims to refer to. However, he takes his Scripture out of the full context of the Bible, and picks and chooses verses that make his claim sound plausible.
