America is the best country in the world

To me: Japan is the best country in the world. It is an economic powerhouse, it has the lowest crime rate of any developed nation, it is viewed in a positive light by every country(diplomatically), except for China and North Korea, it's got a low population of fat people, I could go on. Factually: Finland is the best country in the world according to Newsweek(http://www.thedailybeast.com...) Now you said the US is the best because of it's values? What values? Positive influence? The US isn't alone in positive influence. Nothing special. Financial? The US has the worlds highest debt. It's the equivalent of a rich person having nearly as much debt as he as money. Making that person a failure in the financial sector. And if money makes a country the best, China must be second best. Huh? Let's take a look at america's GDP: It's the highest in the world. But its GDP(per capita) is 13th. Military? The US has a lot of weapons, but China and India has more military personnel. There is that pesky China again. Tech? Japan and Finland have pioneered in that sector as well. Science? HAHAHAHA! The US is lagging behind other nations in that subject and math. (I'm sure you already knew this) Now lets look at the reality: The United States has the most fat people. And NO that isn't a sign of having a lot of money, because Mexico is right behind the US. (http://www.nationmaster.com...) America has the most crimes out of 82 countries. (http://www.nationmaster.com...) Come on, please tell me how the US is the best in the world. It can't be it's unstable and debt filled economy. It can't be it's fat crime committing people. It can't be it's failing educational system which lags behind many countries. So what else is there?
America is the best country in the world

The resolution is that America is the best country. I maintain that it is the best country primarily bec. of its values,and positive influence. As well as, success in all areas, including; financial, militarily, technology, and science. My opponent has not yet provided another country to compare. I presume it will be one of the 5 super powers, but I will wait till he presents his country then show why America is at least as good.
America is the best country in the world

I have only ONE request: Please only take this debate if you are a patriotic american that believe strongly that the US is the best, and be prepared to give me a reason why it is. Ok, I've had this debate once before on this site, and won, but I'm hoping to get a better challenge. I believe america is NOT the best country in the world. Not only do I believe it, I KNOW it. What makes america the greatest? Someone tell me. Prove me wrong.

I mean the more you keep saying it, The more insecure you're showing yourself to be I mean wtf you're acting all formal with your bullet points but won't capitalize, For someone who does debating I thought you would have been better than this. I mean every single para has just been the same, Just cause you changed the format doesn't make points any less sh*t Also btw you're a f**king rice farmer

Ironic how you call it a friendship "group", Pretty sure you need at least one friend to define said group which we all obviously know is not the case for you Tom. Honestly, The only thing smaller than my insta follow count is the list of people who rate you as a person. Let's be honest the joke's on you though, My crappy "lox_design" company has earned more than you ever probably will in life, Although I suppose that isn't that impressive considering how your'e probably going to be on minimum wage. At least I don't measure my worth by the amount of streaks I have with someone, Go back to the rice paddy's and try and earn some real cash, Cause at the rate your going you'll end up like everyone else in Vietnam. F**king Homeless.

Tom, I get it. Most immigrants like yourself usually do become insecure whenever races are brought into a conversation.

Clinton's "House of cards," about to come crashing down

Let's remember, Hillary lost in 2008 and the Clintons still enjoy widespread support. There is no reason to think this time around will be any different. If she loses, there will always be 2020 or 2024. But no matter what happens, a huge portion of the Democratic party lives in this fantasy world where Bill was a strong leftist president and Hillary is a progressive champion of the working class. The dream world is so much better than reality. Even without further political office, this couple will continue to collect speaker's fees and write vacuous best-sellers. Thanks for making this debate!
Clinton's "House of cards," about to come crashing down

This is exactly the point here about Hillary and the Clintons, there comes a time when as much as the Clintons have been very useful to the democrat party at one time they now though, have more and more questionable actions that requires the democrat party to defend and its becoming harder to do as time goes on. Clintons involvements with foreign countries/ donations to the Clintons, "......Clinton commut...ing... the sentences of 16 members of a violent Puerto Rican terrorist group that set off 120 bombs in the United States, mostly in New York City,".... a state, by the way, in which Hillary wanted to win and become their Senator, for example. The defense of the Clintons may not be worth it by the democrat party when the party can find a person who hasn't the history of such nefarious behavior as the Clintons have displayed all during their political careers. You replied," getting out-primaried by a more consistent liberal with far less baggage does not constitute a fall from grace..." It doesn't matter what the excuses are given to explain the Clintons loss, If Hillary/ the Clintons, don't win it will be most poignant and evidence that the democrat party hierarchy didn't back the Clintons this next time around.
Clinton's "House of cards," about to come crashing down

A "House of Cards" collapse entails a lot more than Hillary not being elected President. For it to be a HoC level collapse, the Clintons need to see their base flee away, the undeserved respect that this couple have conned their way into vanish completely. Getting out-primaried by a more consistent liberal with far less baggage (Warren) does not constitute a fall from grace; it's losing to the better person. Nothing Bill did will matter, especially what he did as governor (he did get 2 terms with that info out there). Hillary will just say "I'm going to be my own person", and her supporters will swoon at the archetype of the independent woman. Between "right wing conspiracy","old news", and "attack of misogynists", Hillary has everything she needs to dodge all the bullets coming her way. Maybe she doesn't win the nomination, but she will leave this election cycle with a high favourability rating.
Clinton's "House of cards," about to come crashing down

You responded ," Here's what is going to happen:".... She going to play the victim and that just feeds the Clinton lover fantasy that these two people give a crap about anybody but themselves....." Sooner or later, those who love the "in your face," Clintons, and the democrat party are going to find a candidate who's doesn't carry all the unsavory luggage that the Clintons have carried around with them for so long, Bill's draft dodging, The Clintons, "I loath the military," with his Uncle Ray's intervening with the draft board on Bill's behalf. Ever since the beginnings of the Clinton's earliest days back in Little Rock,Arkansas when Bill Clinton was governor and their shady dealing that the Clintons were involved in, and which sent others, who were a party to, to prison for their part in the Clinton's schemes, White Water, there has always been underhanded dealings that the Clinton's were involved in in one way or another. There were and are those who had voted for the Clintons because it was a way for the youth of America to 'slap-down,' the older generation with their votes that they just couldn't pass up the opportunity to push the older folks around a bit but I believe that the young people who were happy enough to "Slap down the older folks,' when they started feeling the effects personally from sticking it to the older generation, when their choices to run the government started sticking it to them and their families,(Obamacare,) losing their jobs, and their homes, their actions of sticking to the old folks sort of lost some of its charms for them. I have to hand it to the Clintons though for all their shady dealings, they still managed to hold their heads up high and carry on. Misdeeds like, lifting everything that wasn't tied down, absconding with things from the White House when they left office, only later to have to bring stuff back when The new President, it seems, needed the oval office desk to set at and the Lincoln bed to show folks who visited the White House... (Some favorite few even able to sleep in if the price and connections were right.) The dilemma now for the leftist democrats is to find a candidate who has qualifications that might set them apart from all the former choices of the democrat party it would seem apparent that the democrat party has just about played out all their suitable choices to select from, but there still is one candidate that might prove to be a winner, The democrat party could cover the "politically correct" bases by choosing a "Indian woman to be the parties choice, Elizabeth Warren, a native American Indian, Cherokee..... "Elizabeth Warren..... claim to be Native American, specifically Cherokee and/or Delaware..."
Clinton's "House of cards," about to come crashing down

I consider myself to be quite liberal and somewhat in line with the democratic party. I will gladly argue that Bill Clinton was the worst President and likely a serial rapist, but I don't think the Clintons are in danger politically. Right now Hillary seems to be the front runner. She has been the successor to Obama since day 1. The beauty of the Clintons is that their actions are judged by their reputations and not vice-versa. "So what Bill lied, all politicians do." "She was pregnant; she must not have known where the money came from." Look at Bill's stance in the gay community despite the fact he signed DOMA and "Don't ask, don't tell" into law. Here's what is going to happen: her opponents (right and left) are going to bring up the email, the lie that she evaded sniper fire in Bosnia, or her Brother's illegal business dealings. They're all too soft. She going to play the victim and that just feeds the Clinton lover fantasy that these two people give a crap about anybody but themselves. "Wag the dog? He was responding to a serious threat."
Clinton's "House of cards," about to come crashing down

....a house of cards..... reputation an organization or a plan that is very weak and can easily be destroyed The organization that looked so solid and dependable turned out to be a house of cards. Is the Clinton's and Hillary Clinton's "House of cards," about to come crashing down The Clintons legacy, its becoming more and more apparent as time goes on has been one of deception, lies, and covert actions meant to hide their nefarious conduction. Apparently the Clintons know of no other way of conducting themselves and the latest revelations about Hillary as Secretary of State deliberately setting up a separate personal email system apart from the State departments email system that all State department employees were required to conduct government communications on is just another telling episode in a long line of similar episodes involving the Clintons. Hillary Clinton decided, as always, that the Government rules while she was Secretary of State didn't apply to her. The house of cards that the Clintons have resided in is becoming more and more shakey, their personal history's the foundation on which Clintons house of cards sat on is full of flaues, Bill Clinton's affairs with different women, Dead bodies,Vince Foster, Sandy Berger absconding with archived records from the Clinton era when he vsited the National Archives, White Water, etc etc. Now Hillary Clinton ,its been revealed had a personal e-mail system complete with server to conduct business while she was Secretary of State in disregard to government rules, will this be the blow that will bring down the Clinton's house of cards
Better dead than coed

=======Rebuttal's=======Pro hasn't actually refuted anything I've said. He mentions evidence from the 90's (which would be outdated compared to the evidence I sources in R1) but since he hasn't actually sourced this "evidence", his point is moot. Secondly, Pro states the following; "In addition, many critics claim that all-female schools may actually be detrimental to a girl's education because they "reinforce regressive notions of sex differences"."He doesn't go on to counter this claim, so... is this a concession?Finally, pro mentions research that suggests boys and girls learn differently. Once again he doesn't actually provide this source, nor does he elaborate on why these supposed differences require gender segregation, so there's nothing to refute. Besides, as I mentioned in R1, there are both boys and girls in the real world. Therefore, even if our brain composition is slightly different, it would still be best for us to be exposed to one another early on so that we can learn to understand one another, rather than segregate us which only serves to reinforce regressive notions of sex differences -- which Pro has pointed out himself. =======Conclusion======= Pro basically dropped all my arguments and instead merely re-asserted his own position without actually sourcing any of the information he's appealing to. As such, the resolution has been negated and I extend my arguments.
Better dead than coed

1.There is one evidence in the early 1990s, the American Association of University Women (AAUW) concluded that being in single-sex classes could rise a girl's self-esteem. Also in a later report, that same organization said girls performed better without boys in the classroom.In addition, many critics claim that all-female schools may actually be detrimental to a girl's education because they "reinforce regressive notions of sex differences". 2.Harvard researcher Carol Gilligan has done important work on adolescent girls. She's let people see how different they are from boys their age-their learning styles, their value system, the cultural messages they observe.
Better dead than coed

I will be countering each of my opponents claims in this round. =======Counter Arguments=======1. They tend to achieve more. First off, there is no empirical evidence to suggest that this is the case. The best there is available is cherry-picked data and misconstrued scientific claims. [1]Secondly, students in co-ed schools, both private and public, report slightly higher in self-assessment of their own academic ability, not lower as pro suggests. [2, pg.4]2. Girls benefit the most from single-sex schoolingAlso false. Not only do they not gain the most, but in every measure they actually fall dead last [2]. Furthermore, a recent study from Penn State has shown that;"all-girls and all-boys schools may actually end up supporting gender stereotypes and may cause students to socialize only with their kids of their own gender. " [3]3. As boys begin to gain confidence, girls start to lose it. Once again, this is incorrect. Girls actually participate in class lightly more in co-ed schools and report virtually identical levels of confidence in doing so in both co-ed and single-sex schools [2, pg.5]. In terms of how respected girls feel, only 56% of girls at all-girls schools report saying that most of the boys they know respect girls -- compared to 76% in co-ed schools [2, pg. 6]. =======Arguments=======-----Divorce Rates-----Men who attended an all-boys school are statistically more likely to be divorced by their mid 40's [4]. -----Depression-----Men who attended an all-boys school are statistically more likely to suffer from depression by their mid 40's. This may be related to the higher rate of failed marriages for these men [4]. -----Real World-----As we all know, there are both men and women in the real world. It has been argued that, given this, co-ed students have an advantage when entering the real world as they are accustomed to interacting with the opposite sex, while students from same-sex schools have to learn on-the-fly -- and quickly -- how to handle unsegregated situations. =======Conclusion=======There is no definitive evidence that single-sex schools are better than co-ed schools. Furthermore, self-reports from single-sex and co-ed students shows a consistent advantage for those students who are not sexually segregated, especially for girls. Finally, single-sex schools have been shown to correlate with relationship issues later in life. Given this, it is clear that you are not "better dead than co-ed". Not even close. Thank you for your time. =======Sources=======1. . http://www.sciencemag.org...2. . http://www.ridleycollege.com... 3. . http://www.huffingtonpost.com... 4. . http://www.independent.co.uk...
Better dead than coed

I am against for coed schools because In my opinion students could blossom when they study in the company of students of the same sex. They tend to achieve more. Firstly,girls may be the ones who benefit most from single-sex schooling. According to the American Association of University Women, studies have shown that many girls get shortchanged in coed classroom because sometimes teachers pay more attention to boys.They start to watch their male peers outperform them in math and science. As boys begin to gain confidence, girls start to lose it.
There is no cure for autism. Pro/For is what I am saying I believe.

A disease and an illness and a cure can an illness be cured as a disease is or can be cured. Faith is going into a dark room looking for a black cat, knowing that it is there because of its meow. Religion without science is blind; Science without religion is inhumane. So then a cure for the illness's passed upon the children of tomorrow. 5 years science once said, ever 5 years we will understand more about the human mind. Isn't that a crying shame when as a species we are the likes of thousands of years premature that continue adding another link into the chain of humanities evolutionary flawed progression. Maybe this time some insane f#cking despot. Lets not say it hey? I do hope that the likes of a woman or man could just place a hand upon an individuals head and all will be supposedly normal within ones own mind. But artists of all sorts, scientists all tilt upon the scales of sanity and insanity it is when the scales delve within humane and inhumane is when a diseased switch or an illness of the likes of an aliment that only an autistic mind can cope. Why do you think that an u has been places within artistic?
There is no cure for autism. Pro/For is what I am saying I believe.

Well, I would like to say physically if a child in the womb is found to be autistic we are at the point scientifically where genetic modification can be used to solve most problems that can come with autism physically. There are also cases of people "growing" out of mild autism. Also what about new treatments in development such as CRISPR I might be wrong about this if so please educate me but in my research thus far this is what I have found.
