The media should have more restraints on what kind of pictures they take.

Although there are laws to prevent actions of the photographers. I believe that just because the person is a celebrity doesn't strip them of any of those rights we have. Although the price of fame is a big price, that doesn't change the fact that they are still human. They are still entitled to the unalienable rights given to us by birth. I don't think that celebrities should have any "special treatment" just because they are popular. Just like we don't strip any rights as we enter school gates, we don't lose the right to religion. Just because they are celebrities they shouldn't lose the right to their own personal privacy.
The media should have more restraints on what kind of pictures they take.

Overly intrusive photographing practices often face legal action. Jennifer Anniston is currently in the process of threatening some photographers who shot her topless from over a mile away with legal action if the photos are published (http://www.thesmokinggun.com...). Examples like this exist all over the place, so your fears about some of the photography practices are unwarranted. If you're concerned about who might access these photos, I'd point out that people must actively seek out the content, so only those who want it will access it. Celebrities actually do not get the same treatment other people do. In US law there is a term called a "Public Figure". A public figure (such as a politician, celebrity, or business leader) cannot base a lawsuit on incorrect harmful statements unless there is proof that the writer or publisher acted with malice (knowledge or reckless disregard for the truth). The burden of proof is higher in the case of a public figure. This rule exists because slander and libel would go out of control without it. The way I see it, celebs know what they are getting into by being famous. If they don't like it, don't do it. It's part of the price of fame. Also, the burden is on consumers. If you think that kind of content is wrong, don't consume it and use an alternate media outlet. Instead, people don't do this, meaning they agree with the content.
The media should have more restraints on what kind of pictures they take.

In the past couple of years there has been a problem with the media taking pictures of celebrities. Some of these pictures have been spotting up their skirt, down their shirt, or completely naked in the privacy of their home. Me personally, I believe that we need a lot more restraints on what is published in newspapers and on the net. I do not believe people should be able to make money off of a picture of a naked celebrity. If it was of any normal person than the person could be arrested. I think that celebrities should have the same treatment.
Feminists and SJWs want to give minorities power and discriminate against majorities in the process.

You will be arguing their arguements and ideas are needed and that they are not harmful. Rules: 1. Round 1 is acceptance only 2. No semantics or trolling. Let's have a civilized debate. 3. Cite your sources 4. Use proper spelling and grammar 5. BoP is shared Good luck
Resolved: Public health concerns justify compulsory immunization.

A representative of the Red Cross knocked on the door of the richest man in town. She said, "Our research shows that you make ten million dollars a year but don't give a penny to charity. Wouldn't you like to make a generous donation? " The rich man replied, "Did you know that my mother is dying after a long illness, and has medical bills that are several times her annual income? " Embarrassed, the Red Cross worker mumbled, "Um . . . no. " The rich man interrupted, "Or that my brother, a disabled veteran, is blind and confined to a wheelchair? " The stricken Red Cross worker tearfully tried to express regrets, but the lawyer interrupted again, "Or that my sister's husband died suddenly in an accident, leaving her penniless with three children? " The humiliated Red Cross worker cried, "I had no idea! " The rich man continued, adding, "So if I don't give any money to them, why should I give any to you? "
Dorion Johnson (a witness in the shooting of Michael brown) should go to jail for lying.

I don't have a lot of time, but I don't need it. My opponent has dropped all of my arguments for the most part, but I'll respond in a generic fashion to some of the statements. Being a liar isn't sufficient to charge somebody in a crime. Part of the reason is, because they're presumed innocent. Even if somebody is a proven liar, their memories still suffer from the same problems in use of force scenarios. So a liar is just as likely to have bad recall as an honest person. Another problem with my opponent's argument, is that he isn't even arguing that the dude should be prosecuted because of the incorrect statement. My opponent is arguing that Dorian should be charged because of completely unrelated crimes and non crimes. The non crimes aren't crimes and he should clearly not be punished for that. The crimes for other things, he can be proven beyond a reasonable doubt to commit, he should be prosecuted for. Charging him for perjury, because he's a thief is silly. He should be charged with theft for stealing. Charging somebody, merely for getting details wrong while involved in a use of force scenario, is bad because practically everyone has warped memories after these events. Thanks to my opponent and I look forward to their upcoming concession.
Dorion Johnson (a witness in the shooting of Michael brown) should go to jail for lying.

I understand your argument. I find it hard to believe that Johnson, a thug who helped brown assault someone, robbed a store and was recently caught with drugs, didn't lie. How does one remember confuse a memory being shot in the back and a memory of seeing someone with their hands up? Johnson should have remembered what happened by the time he was asked again--after 3 autopsies showed he lied get first time. There needs to be a trial and he needs to go through what he put Wilson through.
Dorion Johnson (a witness in the shooting of Michael brown) should go to jail for lying.

Thank you. I was talking to my friend the other day and my friend brought p the possibility that Johnson was told what to say or even threatened. This makes sense as he does not appear to be the sharpest toll in the shed. As someone who followed the story closely I know that this is unlikely. Johnson initially told us that brown was shot in the back. when this turned a\out to be false he changed his story. Johnstons lie did not only ruin Wilsons life, but too the lives of three people. http://www.dailymail.co.uk... http://nypost.com... Johnson should at the very least be tried for purgery
Dorion Johnson (a witness in the shooting of Michael brown) should go to jail for lying.

I take it round one is for acceptance. So I accept. This next statement is an aside and not necessary, but I feel like it should be said. I do believe that Darren Wilson was justified in the shooting of Michael Brown. That's not to say there isn't problems of racism with-in the police department in that locality, but there are atleast a few unjustified police shootings a year, and it's really easy to race bait with the other ones, so it is a mystery to me why they'd choose to give attention to one shooting that is justified. With that aside, Dorion Johnson should not be persecuted for perjury, for giving a story that doesn't line up with the evidence. If we locked people up for having stories that don't line up with the physical evidence in these adrenaline fueled use of force situations, we'd have to lock up virtually everybody who has been in those types of situations. As you will see, it is hard to differentiate between a lie and being mistaken in these situations, even with extremely big mixup a with the facts.
Dorion Johnson (a witness in the shooting of Michael brown) should go to jail for lying.

Round 1. Acceptance and Introduction/opening arguments Round 2. Main arguments Round 3. Rebuttals Round 4. Closing arguments Dorion Johnson is a 23 year old man who is well known for witnessing the self defense shooting of Michael brown. He helped Michael brown rob a store and has recently been arrested for drug dealing. In other words this man is a criminal. But those crimes are nothing compared to what he did last summer, just minutes after robbing the convenience store. Dorion Johnson lied to police about the death of Michael brown. Several times. He a initially told us that brown was shot in the back. When three autopsies showed that brown was shot in the front Johnson changed his story and claimed brown was shot while surrendering with his hands up. Unfortunately many People took the word of a criminal over the word of a police officer with no disciplinary charges on his record, most likely because it promoted their race baiting agenda. People ignored the basic principal of innocent until proven guilty and decided that Wilson was guilty of cold blooded murderer based on the word of a criminal. Instead of being responsible and waiting for more evidence to come out People took to the streets over something that later turned our to have been a justified act of self defense. Finally a couple months ago the DOJ released a 102 page report on the ferguson PD. The DOJ admitted that brown was shot out of self defense, that Wilson was justified in shooting brown and that brown didn't has his hands up when he was shot. The repot also found that many witnesses including Johnson lied, as their stores weren't supported by physical evidence and changed several times. Simply put Dorion Johnson ruined the life of an innocent man by spreading a lie. Darren Wilson can not go anywhere in public. There are many thugs who want him dead. People are calling him a racist murderer based in a self defense act. All that, based on a lie. Not only did Johnson ruin Darren Wilson's life, he also is partially responsible for ending the life of Zemir Begic, a 32 year old Bosnian American who was hammered to death by a group of black and Hispanic teens who yelled "kill white people" and had recently attended a Michael Breton rally. Johnson's lie also caused the death of two NYPD officers who were shot by a violent thug last year as revenge for brown and garner. In my next argument I will describe the DOJs findings, the affects of Johnson's lie and why Johnson should be tried for perjury.

For those who had paid attention, you probably already know that the 4th round was created in case someone would for some reason forfeit a round.This had been set up in round 1, admittedly i thought that it will be my opponent who will use this. Its funny how things turn out, no? Since I haven't given any rules as to what you do if you never forfeit and I feel its too late for me to set up new rules, my opponent may use the 4th round in anyway. Personally I recommend reading what you're supposed to do in round 3 ,again ,and then give it another try. However you don't have to. Anyhow thank you for reading this and lets begin !!! ----------------------------------------------------------------- Fashion...Ha!!! What an ugly religion that is. People in our religion don't have to be fashionable to be good looking, in fact we have our standards so low that even Michael Jackson is considered handsome: http://www.ximnet.com.my... Readers please notice how my opponent fails to be persuasive: "ENJOY YOUR LIFE WITH BEAUTY! :D" Now who enjoys this life? Our believers are certainly very, very miserable. So whats the point of enjoying life with beauty if you don't enjoy your life at all? None at all. What their religion can do, we can do better!: "We believe the unbelievable: Fairies Reapers Dark Angels Angels Vampires Werewolves Succubus Etc." Thats believable but you know what is not believable, our religion and we believe it so ha! We win again. Also look how limited his religion is: "LOVE is everything to us" What about anger, fear, greed and violence. Our church is overwhelmed with these things but apparently all his church can offer is love, how empty !!! Now lets turn away from Love, Beauty and Happiness to the other side, you guessed it our religion "Obvious" !!! Our great believers... They fill this world with their ideas: http://www.youtube.com... They fill this world with their songs: http://www.youtube.com... Ultimately they fill us with hope: http://www.youtube.com... I urge everyone to vote Pro because we have friends on the other side!!! http://www.youtube.com...

I DONT KNOW WHY YOU FORFEITED AND I DONT WANT TO KNOW I HOPE IT WAS WORTH IT. Let's talk about a religion called "Obvious": Just by hearing that name I became a little bit interesting at knowing more about the first time I heard it, although it sounds like a stupid name for a religion. This religion promotes ignorance, I mean really, ignorance, maybe this challenge is about making the most unbelievable religion, but that doesn't mean the religion has to promote things that will be a problem further on. Imagine a world without intelligence or wisdom, I wouldn't be writing this right now. Maybe if you are lazy and you don't care about anything in this life, or you believe it's not worth the trying, then this is the perfect religion for you, go head and follow this, maybe it will give your laziness a meaning or a purpose. If you're gonna stay at home wasting your life, at least follow or believe in some kind of thing, and that perfect thing is "obvious". If you read round 1 and round 2 about the religion "Obvious" and you thing it fits your personality then go ahead and follow, but if it doesn't at all, consider following the religion "Fashion". Just think about it, if you're not feeling lazy enough to think, think about what is best for you and maybe for others too.

Heaven and Hell: We believe nobody's beauty dies so that means you don't die because if you die your beauty dies and if we don't believe beauty dies that means no one dies unless you were never beautiful. If you somehow die you will go to heaven always because heaven is beautiful. Do we believe in god? no we don't we are our own god. Nobody, not even God is able to make such beauty that exists in our world today. Why give the credit to God for what we do or for who we are. History: Fashion has always existed, always it has never not been in this world. Even when dinosaurs were alive fashion existed. For example: Greek Gods, they have always looked amazing, i mean they may be just robes but they look amazing and they complement the woman's curves. Look at the medieval times, how women dressed. Also queens and Kings they dressed so elegant. For example have you seen how they dress angels, woow they look amazingly hot and sexy!!! Why do you think that in stories fallen angels are so attractive. We believe the unbelievable: Fairies Reapers Dark Angels Angels Vampires Werewolves Succubus Etc. We believe the unbelievable because it's believable. The impossible is possible. The unbelievable is believable because then why would we believe if it's unbelievable, also sometimes the believable is unbelievable because we don't believe. So, we believe in the unbelievable and don't believe in the believable. LOVE is everything to us, because love is beauty it is always beautiful. We believe love is amazing and sometimes depending unreachable. We need money to achieve beauty. How would you buy clothes and make up and all those things you need for a beautiful life. You are free to follow whatever kind of fashion you want. for example elegant fashion, futuristic fashion, funny fashion, street fashion, modern fashion and old fashion. BELIEVE THE UNBELIEVABLE BELIEVERS AND UNBELIEVERS.

It seems thats its time for me to explain my great and scientifically proven[1] religion. Ill first focus on heaven and hell according to our religion: 1. We believe that people die, probably. 2. Then people go to heaven or hell or some other place or nothing happens or something I didn't say happens. 3. Our notion hasn't been refuted !!! Therefore we are correct in our beliefs. God: 1.We believe that God might exist 2.Therefore God must exist, otherwise the probability of his existence is diminished to null. 3.Ergo our God and not some other God exists. This is an irrefutable fact! Now lets look into our traditions: We the believers of "Obvious" believe that one should see things which oppose our beliefs: http://www.google.ie...= http://www.google.ie...= http://www.google.ie...= However after this one must play the Siberian roulette. For those who don't know what Siberian roulette is let me explain. Its like Russian roulette except the Russian roulette has only one bullet but the Siberian roulette is full with bullets. Our ways of Life: Too many believers played the Siberian roulette therefore we still haven't created the official way of life but this should be sorted out soon. Let me assure you this now, I will be proud of this. History: We make up stuff but since we also ignore reason, our historical claims are reasonable!!! Did you ever want to be related to Michael Jackson? Now you can! Money: We don't see money as important in fact we have declared it moral to killing richer people with the exception of us the priests. You can be sure that greedy people aren't in our church because one must be rich to be greedy. Love: Love is free though we will brainwash you just like we brainwashed this young girl: http://www.youtube.com... Freedom: Sure but first you have to follow the rules contained in here: http://upload.wikimedia.org... Lets see what our believers are doing: http://www.youtube.com... http://www.youtube.com... http://www.youtube.com... http://www.youtube.com... http://www.youtube.com... http://www.youtube.com... Anything else?: Yes our believers have to worship this guy: http://www.youtube.com... He's a nice guy. Sources: [1] I like turtles and turtles eat sources[3] because I have a turtle according to source [2] my statement is proven. [2] My turtle ate my source but according to source [1] I have a turtle ergo this is of no problem. [3] My turtle ate my source concerning this but since its not here that means I do have a turtle which eats sources!!! It is obvious that my religion Obvious is the obviously right choice so convert or more paint will dry.

Minecraft

Extend all arguments + :Also, since Minecraft is an indie game, it has reached some insane potential and a vast audience. It made it to the consoles, which is really impressive. But, since my opponent still just said Minecraft is awesome, we still must incude all versions of the game since most (Console versions cant go back to the earlier versions of the game) are playable, they must be part of the discussion. As from a personal standpoint, I consider the console versions of Minecraft to be modded. The recipes are all lined up for you, and it took that function from the game of finding out how to build things (this is a minor function, especially when most can just google it whilst playing) I consider this to be a very bad thing to do to keep Minecraft originality amongst the consoles. I am pretty sure that they could have done a much better job with that then having the recipes there at your disposal to examine and use with phenomanal ease. I hope my opponent responds in round 3. I look forward to a counter-argument. Thank you for the debate.
Physics is not able to determine whether or not A or B theory is true.

Seeing as we're discussing Science, we shall use the scientific definition of "theory": "A scientific theory is a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world that is acquired through the scientific method and repeatedly tested and confirmed through observation and experimentation." http://en.wikipedia.org... My counter-claim goes as follows: 1. "A-theory" and "B-theory" cannot make testable predictions, and so are not real theories. They are not even hypotheses, which become theories upon testing. 2. Both suppose a universal definition of "present", which is incompatible with Relativity. Two observers moving differently will disagree on how much time has passed, and may even disagree on the order in which events occur. Therefore, because neither is a real theory and both require universal agreement on the passage of time in order to work, both are incorrect.
Physics is not able to determine whether or not A or B theory is true.

Resolution: Physics is not able to determine whether or not A or B theory is true.A-theory (the "A-theory of time"): the tensed view of time in which the past and future do not existB-theory (the "B-theory of time"): the tenseless view of time in which the past, present, and future are all equally real"Not able to" refers to the current state of physics, not the practice of physics in principle.
