Gymnastics is the most difficult sport in the world for men and women

Pound-for-pound the best athletes on the planet, could just be gymnasts." -John Brenkus ESPN Sport Science 1) http://gymnasticszone.com... Gymnastics is an all-around sport not concentrating on just one specific area of the body. Not only does it prepare the physical body for impacts on metal bars and hard mats but prepare the mind to think in areas of under 1 second. First I would like to look at the balance of the gymnasts. In women's gymnastics an event is about the same width as the white sideline of a basketball court. This event was specifically made for balance, hence the name of the balance beam. The center of balance in a woman is lower in the body near the hips while the center of balance in a man is higher up near the chest. During the routine the gymnast can rotate up to 600 degrees per second. this means you traveling 45 feet per second which is basically traveling almost half a basketball field in a few seconds without deviating from the white sidelines of the field. The second part of gymnastics I would like to look at is spatial awareness. If you've ever watched gymnastics, which you should if you haven't, you notice that they can travel very high in a short time. Doing some of the basic swings on a men's high bar adds 9 times the normal weight of your body on your shoulders. this much weight allows the bar to bend and act like sling shot and launch you upwards. If you don't already know gravity pulls you down at around 9.8 m/s/s not leaving much time to "find" the bar, because of this a gymnast needs to know exactly where they are and how far/long they have to catch the bar. Not only on the high bar but also the vault, an average gymnast can propel themselves at least 10-13 feet above the floor. not to mention spinning exceptionally fast they need to be able to identify how high they are so they can land on their feet, or if they miss at least they can land safer than landing on their head. Finally I would like to look at the possibility of loss of skills. If you take a month off of playing a sport such as football or soccer you may be a little tired or a little sloppy but it takes a few minutes to refine everything again unlike in gymnastics where if you miss a month of practice you can lose lots of skills which take a long time to get back because you need to regain the strength and the technique of the skill making gymnastics one of the hardest sports in the world.
The Qur'an is not the word of G-d:

LOL a surprise debate yay! anyways... first im not speaking for Islam or muslims in anyway, this is one of my reasons why i think its divinity inspired, if u convince me Islam is false i will give up my belief and i only want truth, do it by refuting my reasons, if u do so i will admit im wrong and announce my disbelief right away... and good luck..... in Islam as we believe that the Quran is correcting whats in the previous scriptures (like the Torah or the Gospel) what ppl changed/corrupted... so the Quran claims... its correcting previous scriptures (in this example i will use the bible...) if u read the bible u will notice that when the bible talks about the kings of ancient Egypt during the time of the prophets Abraham (in Genesis) , Joseph (in Genesis) and Moses (in book of Exodus) it uses the title "Pharaoh"... in the Quran when it speaks about the time of Joseph the title of the ruler of ancient Egypt addressed as "King" (chapter 12), but when the Quran speaks about the time of Moses the title for the king who ruled during that time mentioned as "Pharaoh". why is that important? well they look alike but are like chalk and cheese (xD). lets look at the times of each prophet... Dates BCE 2700 - 2200 /// Old Kingdom 2200 - 2040///First Intermediate - Abraham (c. 2000 BCE)? 2040 - 1674/// Middle Kingdom - Abraham (c. 2000 - 1800 BCE)? Jacob, Joseph (c .1800 BCE)? 1674 - 1553/// Second Intermediate - Jacob, Joseph 1552 - 1069/// New Kingdom - "Pharaoh" first applied to the king around middle of the 14th century BCE, c. 1352-1348 BCE. Moses born around the beginning of the 13th century BCE. so in the time of Moses they call their leader as "Pharaoh", but not in the time of Abraham/Joseph... how the Quran knows when to use the right title to each ruler for each time? old Egyptian hieroglyphs was dead until they were finally deciphered in the 19th century CE. if Prophet Mohammed copied the stories from the Bible which was the only source for him to copy from... u would see the same mistake in the Bible but this isnt the case. now explain how he corrected it when he was "coping" from jews and christians. and how did he know about the difference. refute this next reason will come one hit at a time :D
The Qur'an is not the word of G-d:

Pro: "No, you are wrong in your rebuttal, it's not like calling Americans Indians because pharaohs never replaced kings, the name only changed, just like the Whitehouse."look dude if u say its a coincidence it would do a better job. imagine in the time of Abraham some dude calls his king "pharaoh" like in the bible, its so stupid and hard for u to understand the logic behind it. they never adreesed their kings as "pharaohs" in old times, thats a fact and when the bible says that its wrong. admit it. "only the name changed" so they replaced the expression they used for their kings. Pro: "Also, it has a lot of things to do with the Quran, if the Quran is antisemitic it cannot come from G-d, not the G-d of Israel at least,which the Quran says it did." my debater here having a laugh. if u say "Quran is antisemitic" u shuold first look into your bible its a rasict book such a fascist religion. only jews r chosed ppl which only comes through blood line (same thing the nazis said back then) , others 99.99% of humans r gentiles or as u like to say "Goyem". such a racist God. amazing. oh what about violence? read the bible u will find a racist God, unjust, killing babies, allowing rape and genonice without reason, iilogical God. do u need more? slavery? apostacy? rape? cursing ones parents? what a shame...
The Qur'an is not the word of G-d:

No, you are wrong in your rebuttal, it's not like calling Americans Indians because pharaohs never replaced kings, the name only changed, just like the Whitehouse. Also, it has a lot of things to do with the Quran, if the Quran is antisemitic it cannot come from G-d, not the G-d of Israel at least,which the Quran says it did.
The Qur'an is not the word of G-d:

wow this is one of the most absurd replies i got for a while now... before getting into his rebuttal, i can see my friend here is a hardcore jew, which believes the "Torah" of today is got only 1 author (Moses), and has been preserved from the prophet Moses to this very day. ofcourse these assumptions are false in academic point of view, and his replies are stands upon it. he takes many many verses out of Quran/Hadith out of context, talking about irrelevant things.my reply... harrytruman tried to refute my only 1 reason i gave here and fail as i knew it. he didnt really answer it. when i mentioned that when the bible is wrong calling rulers in the time of Abraham/Joseph as Pharaoh is absolutely false historically. they didnt exist at the time. they appeared later in the time of Moses. its like calling americans today "indians" because in the past indians were living there. illogical. the example u gave about the "white house" is totally different thing because its the same building call it whatever you want. so you prove the Quran is right about this and you have a mistake in the Bible which is "inspired" by God but made a mistake. in the end you claimed that they call the rulers of the time of Abraham as "Pharaoh" whch is false examining old Egyptian hieroglyphs. 1) "Errors in the Qur’an" Pro compared things in the "Torah" and the Quran and from that came to the conclusion that Quran got "Errors". my friend here taking here the Bible as the guide anchor to know what is true or not. who said in the first place the Bible is a icollections of Facts some kind of word of God? if you want to debate if the Torah is the word of Gos it will be another debate.2) "Contradictions between the Torah and the Qur’an"actually the same thing of point 1.3)"Qur’an and the oppression of women","Anti-Semitism in the Qur’an","Violence in the Qur’an"many many verses out of context taken from the Quran and AGAIN compares it to the Bible. let say for the sake of argument all the lies you brought attention to is true, what it has to do with God's word? such pile of words of irrelevants things. please open new debate on each subject and we can compare it Bible vs Quran and let the ppl here decide which side to pick.so far no rebuttals at all. huge pile of words of his cant refute simple reason for my belief in Islam.try again.
Home Schooling is a good way of Schooling Children.

You stated that you felt homeschooling to be the least of all education because you feel as though homeschoolers do not have: (a) the ability to socialize, (b) lower quality education and (c) The ability to learn life needed skills. Let me correct you on one thing: all of these points are stereotypes against homeschooling and are not impossible to maintain. 1. The ability to socialize. There are home school groups all over the country that give homeschooled students the opportunity to socialize. These home school groups may offer classes, science fairs, proms, various dances and even a graduation ceremony. Besides the home school group, there are youth groups at churches and even team sports to join. So the ability and necessary requirement to socialize can be met if there is an effort put. 2. Education. This is where I disagree big time. According to a statistic taken by Home School World, homeschoolers averaged in the 86th percentile on all tests while kids in public school ranked in the 50th percentile1. In an average high school, there may be a one teacher to at least twenty kids, but in a home school environment, there are usually two or three kids to one teacher. Every child can get the required attention they need. Another plus is that the parents are usually very dedicated in the child’s education, so even after the “school day” is done, the parents are still involved in homework and other activities. 3. Life needed skills. So you’re saying that you learn life needed skills in a school setting? Like what exactly? Life needed skills to me, means something along the lines of, learning how to save money, or learning to drive, or learning to cook, or clean, or learning how to take care of one’s self. You don’t really learn that in a school setting, you learn that at home. In a particular study, homeschooled kids were usually more mature than kids in school which proves that homeschooled kids are more prepared for life1. Being homeschooled has great benefits, both emotionally and academically. 1. http://www.home-school.com...;
Home Schooling is a good way of Schooling Children.

:P! NOTE: Before We start I will state that i'm okay with home schooling I just don't think it's always the best decision! In some situations you have to homeschool! So, CHEERS! Yes, I'm not saying there aren't pros! =================================Starting Argument=================================I believe that Public Schooling and and Private Schooling give you an oppurtunity that homeschooled kids don't normally get!1. The ability to Socialize.2. Usually better Education.3. The ability to learn life-needed skills. You need to have the ability to have good social skills to run big industrys or be succesfull entrepenuars. I don't beleive that homeschooling gives you the sufficient amount of rescources and knowledge to get a big edge on taday's world! (Not to sound rude! ) They need the ability to socialize to have pretty much any job out there! - Teacher- IT Service- Customer Service Agent- Health Care Provider- ETC!
Home Schooling is a good way of Schooling Children.

NOTE: It seems that you think that all I support is public schooling. However, I agree with all schooling systems just some better than the other. I also believe that Private Schools just fine! According to your statement "According to Huffington Post, more than half of Americans are dissatisfied with the current public school system. And also, according to Huffington Post, homeschoolers are more college ready than their non homeschooling peers. ". I too beg to differ! They may be disatisfied public school, but how do they feel about private schooling, or christian schools? <------ Ok, I will present new a new argument. --------->Financial issues would be a predicament! Ok, so you might think that private schooling or religous schools (Private School) would also place financial burden however, the general population of children in private schools have wealthier children. For homeschooled children one problem is for their parents is that parents trying to mantain a full/half time job aren't able to do so! <-----------------------------------------------------------------> Ok, thanks for the debate! Also, still homeschooling has the lowest grade averages like stated before, and then again *Main Reason why you go to school*
Home Schooling is a good way of Schooling Children.

To be honest going to a group for school is not 'Homeschooling'. ;'-) heheh= Maybe you misunderstood me, but I never said home schooling groups were for school. Home school groups are almost like an extracurricular activity. They are not actually school, but almost like an after school program. And you mentioned that in homeschooling you don't always get the classes you need. That is not true. I'm homeschooled and I've taken Spanish and French was also an option. With homeschool curriculums, there are electives you can take. You can even take online AP courses, so it's not impossible to take different classes and get a wider perspective. Now I will present this in defense of homeschooling. According to Huffington Post, more than half of Americans are dissatisfied with the current public school system. And also, according to Huffington Post, homeschoolers are more college ready than their non homeschooling peers. Students coming from college also graduated college at a higher rate than their peers, 66.7 percent compared to 57.5 percent. http://www.huffingtonpost.com... Because homeschooling is usually a shorter school day than normal schooling, teenagers have a lot more free time to explore themselves creatively and get a job while maintaining good grades. Homeschool students are usually better socialized. You may say, uh no way, they aren't around anyone. I beg to differ. Not only do homeschoolers have the opportunity to interact with their fellow peers, but they can also interact with people various ages, both older and younger. Have you ever talked to (or witnessed) a tongue-tied youngster who could barely hold a conversation with an adult? I have. Kids in a school setting usually interact with only various people of a certain age group while homeschoolers have flexibility in their interactions amongst people of various ages.
Home Schooling is a good way of Schooling Children.

To be honest going to a group for school is not 'Homeschooling'. ;'-) heheh= Anyways a survey was conducted over the school quality in grades k-12 (The assessments). Public's average was 47% on exellent and good. However, Homeschooling scored 46%! Also since I'm con I can also say that Independent Private Schools have 80%! That is 34% greater than Homeschooling. See yourself: ==========================================================SRC: http://www.huffingtonpost.com...=========================================================== When I say life needed lessons you do! In Homec you learn Cooking, Knitting, and pretty much anything you do around the house. In Agriculture you are educated in farming, machinery, etc. <<<<<Now that I've Rebbutted I'll Present>>>>>>>Another point is in homeschooling you dont always get the classes available in ather systems of education.1. In Government (The Class) you learn about political affairs. 2. French3. Spanish4. Computer Science5. Mechanics6. Art7. Orchestra8. Band9. Interior Design10. Physichology11. Drama12. American Sign Language13. Universal Sign Language14. ETC. Of course I guess the parent could start all these, though that's HIGHLY Unlikely.Also a lot of times the teachers aren't certified or trained unlike public, private, etc. Unless they are certified, but that usually doesn't happen.=======================================================================================
Acts 21 proves that the Apostle Paul was a false teacher

Thank you for the challenge, I hope I am up to it. I hope to show in the next few rounds that in fact Paul's teachings were completely in line with those of Christ an the other Apostles, despite his some times unorthodox methods. My argumentation will be based partly on 1 Corinthians 9:20 20 And so to the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain Jews; to those under law I became as under law, though I myself am not under law, that I might gain those under law. And partly on the prophecy in Daniel which foretells the ending of the Mosaic Covenant and that it will be kept in force "for the many" for a period of time. I look forward to the next few rounds.
"Under God" should be abolished

To clarify, we will be debating about the generic sense of God, as understood by Christians, Jews, and Muslim. As Con, I am against removing this phrase from the pledge of allegiance. Throughout this debate, I will be referencing the origin of the Pledge of Allegiance and the country's history. I will be listing my sources at the end of the round. C1) Tradition The phrase "Under God" was added to the Pledge of Allegiance in 1954 by Congress as a result of Eisenhower"s support [1]. Since this phrase was added, it has embedded itself into our culture and our heritage. Taking this away, takes a part of ourselves away with it. I remind my opponent, that they have the burden of proof in this contention, to prove to us why this should be removed. C2) Christian Nation The United States" population predominantly consists of Christians. In a recent poll, 83% of US citizens identified themselves as Christian. [2] Christianity is a major part of the nation"s culture it therefore follows that this should be represented in our Pledge of Allegiance. In other words, the values that are represented and practiced by the citizens of America should be acknowledged in our Pledge of Allegiance. C3) Under Almighty Creator Having the phrase "Under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance signifies the importance of government, and reminds us of irreplaceable rights. The Declaration of Independence (1776) reads, "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. " [3] When our founding fathers were referring to "creator," they were signifying the importance of the inalienability of our rights. The phrase "Under God" highlights this importance by reminding us of how paramount our rights are. Why can't the government take your rights away? Because, our rights are endowed to us by our creator, our God. "The phrase 'under God,' therefore, struck me as a comforting expression of humility, that we as a nation recognized the grandeur of our universe and conceded its unfathomability.

An open Oatku debate.

Fair enough. While it is true Alucard is an infinitely powerful, supernatural being, he is just a vampire with vampire powers. Sebastian is one of the most powerful demons, esp under orders. If someone held a contract with him, and ordered him to win, he would have no choice but to do so. Also, only a shishigami can kill a demon. Alucard is no shishigami, so I don't think he would have a very easy time beating him. Not to mention when Sebastian in he true demon form.
Should Pokemon be Banned

Sadly my adversary has chosen to forfeit every round of this debate after his opening statement. Simply claiming that something should be banned, is not an acceptable cause or reason for it to be banned. Since my adversary is proposing a change in the status quo, it is on him to provide evidence and reasons as to why the status quo should be changed. He has failed to do any of this because of all the forfeits. His only reason for proposing a ban on Pokemon that " it is the worse type of game". This is entirely subjective and only based off of his perspective. He has given no reason that Pokemon should be banned, therefore we have no reason to believe that the status quo should be changed, and a ban should be placed on the games and movies. I would have went way more in depth with this, but since he has dropped all of his previous rounds, I believe this will suffice. Since he has taken on the BOP and failed to meet it, there is no reason to believe the status quo needs to be changed.
Debate.org Should Be More Democratic

In this debate, I will argue that the debate.org community should be more democratic and free. I do not believe that the moderators and administrators to be fair at times. There are times when I truly criticize and oppose their actions. The below structure will be utilized: Round 1: AcceptanceRound 2: Opening ArgumentsRound 3: Closing Arguments and First RebuttalsRound 4: Counter-Rebuttals and Closing RemarksThe rules are evident: Forfeiture will not be tolerated, sources will be cited, and proper grammar will be used. There are multiple definitions of democracy, but we shall use the one below: "of, relating to, or favoring democracy" I look forward to this debate. Citation "Democracy." Merriam-Webster. Merriam-Webster, n.d. Web. 09 Sept. 2014. <http://www.merriam-webster.com...;.
Debate.org Should Be More Democratic

Good day. I sincerely apologize for the forfeiture. Yet, I have many obligations in my private life and I cannot spend much time here on debate.org. My life is beginning to change; to evolve. Debate.org interferes with my schedule and obligations for school. I must prioritize getting an education and thrusting my life forward. For that reason, I have decided to close my debate.org account soon. It will not be today, but it will be within the next few days. Forgive me for ruining the debate, but the facts are the facts; I cannot do this. I cannot spend time on this site when instead I could be studying or doing homework. It is time for a change. Thank you for taking the time to debate this with me, but it seems I can no longer contribute. Voters, I urge you to take into consideration the predicament I am in and to please excuse my forfeiture.
Debate.org Should Be More Democratic

As a result of your forfeiture I will not make rebuttals in this round as I would then always have an extra round that you could not make because of your own reasons. However looking back upon my earlier statement I realize that they are not as clear as I would like them to be. I apologize for this and will now recapitulate it in an easy to read bullet form list. - Democracy can only be used if this was a government - Debate.org is not a government because in it's T.O.U you are agreeing that they can do nothing wrong and that they can do whatever they want - Users on debate.org are making terrible debates and some are not being debates. - If we give these users the power to vote they will almost certainly not make the right decision and will "troll". - If this happens debate.org will no longer be a place to debate and more a place to "troll" This was more or less my opening arguments. If you would like more information and some proof please read my previous arguments.
