Should Marijuana Be Legalized For Medicinal Use

I find it absurd to think that there are people in the world who think that marijuana has no medicinal benefits to patience with such diseases as Cancer, Glaucoma, Multiple Sclerosis, and Cerebral Palsy. I feel strongly that the use of cannabis should not only be legalized but encouraged in cases where it could actually help. My uncle was diagnosed with MS 9 years ago and slowly his body started to deteriorate from the inside. He became unstable in his walking ability and the pain from the deterioration caused him to have extreme difficulty sleeping. Once he was prescribed Marijuana he called my father in tears of happiness, for the medicine had allowed him not only to walk with complete balance, but even to jog. Upon use of his medical Cannabis in the evenings he was able to sleep without any problems. Now as the disease has progressed his walking has become even more unbalanced but there is no denying that the Marijuana still helps him manage the searing pain from the deterioration of his nerves. Cannabis still allows my uncle to sleep through the night without having to worry about waking in the middle of the night in terrible and excruciating pain. This herb has made the life of a terminally ill person that much easier, and how dare anyone deny him this right. It is ludicrous to think that the federal government wishes not only to deny him the right to a less painful way of life but they also wish to arrest him and others in similar positions for simply wishing to live as much of a pain free life as possible.
Satan is not an evil demon.

I first thank bossy for his argument and I look forward to this debate. First, attack my opponent's attacks, and then show his flaws.No I haven't. It just wasn't relevant. Irrelevant?!?! I say, good sir. This point is far from irrelevant. It is actually the basis of argument on the weaknesses of satan, which my opponent still has yet to argue against.You are wrong. Satan loves Costco (As stated above, I saw him there shopping for toilet paper), but just stays out of the Cucumber Isle. He loves Costco? I say good sir. That is again, incorrect. He not only has to avoid the cucumber, but the eggplant as well, as my opponent stated. And the ice cream. You may be asking yourself " But Cheesedingo, satan created ice cream. Wouldn't he enjoy it?" Well when you see fecal matter from you, do you have the desire to taste it? I say, lets not be vulgar. Of course you don't. And for all of the mothers out there, since it is mother's day. Do you have the desire to eat your children? Of course not. Let us not be barbaric.That is because you do not follow the correct set of rules. You follow Antisatanism, which makes you a bad person, not the sex slave part. Correct set of rules? And what is that: the satan set of rules? I am indeed not satan, and I am indeed not satanistic, but I can summon sex slaves. How is this relevant?Dr. Manhatten is a lunatic. He only wants you to believe that he stopped nuclear war. His name is an anagram of Damn Art Then. He hates art, but yet Russia is full of art. Why would he prevent the war if the war meant that art would be destroyed?Haven't you seen the movie? He did it because less people would die since he did this. But he targeted cities such as Birlin, London, and Paris. All of which have much more art i'm sure in each city alone than in Russia. He can still hate art and stop a war.Satan lives in Detroit because he loves cars. Alice Cooper is a cool dude. Eminem is not a violinist; therefore your argument is invalid. Some people like Pistachio ice cream. SATAN ALSO MADE ROCKY ******* ROAD. Therefore he cannot be a bad person.My opponents argument is very well here. Detroit may love cars, but they are all crappy compared to European cars. No argument there. Alice Cooper is a psycho, and appreciates cucumbers, the ultimate weakness to satan. Therefore, they are not compatible. Your argument on Eminem is almost flawless, but Eminem doesn't play the oboe either. Your point is negated. Satan may have made good ice cream, but he has made bad ice cream too, making him not nice.=====================================================================================Now, onto the points he has missed.1. He did not attack this point.2. He has not attacked this point.3. Not attacked.4.Not attacked.5. Not attacked.My opponent did not attack any of my cases, which is my entire argument. Therefore, his argument should not be counted until he attacks my points. Back to you, Bossy.
Satan is not an evil demon.

"And eggplant may equal the square root of infinity, but so does cucumber. MY OPPONENT HAS OVERLOOKED THIS POINT."No I haven't. It just wasn't relevant. "Cucumber, as everyone knows, is the ultimate weakness of satan, besides clorox wipes(more on this later). Cucumbers are the weakness of satan, and satan is therefor scared of the place that posesses it: COSTCO. Costco will bring about the destruction of satan. How is this relevant, you may ask? Even I, who wrote this to pass on the information, do not know."You are wrong. Satan loves Costco (As stated above, I saw him there shopping for toilet paper), but just stays out of the Cucumber Isle. "And just because satan can summon sex slaves does not make him a good person. I, in fact, can do the same. I am far from a good person. Trust me. >:D"That is because you do not follow the correct set of rules. You follow Antisatanism, which makes you a bad person, not the sex slave part. "And onto my opponents case on Russia. He may have made ice cream, but he only did that as a diversion so that they may not eat cucumbers. He was diverting it, distorting their vision so they would not see that they were being tricked.

It is a very bad place. Eminem was born and raised there[2], and he emerged from hell itself. Alice Cooper was born there too[2]. Satan made ice cream, but he also made pistachio ice cream, which is crap. He is a bad person. That is my case." Satan lives in Detroit because he loves cars. Alice Cooper is a cool dude.

Satan is not an evil demon.

I first thank bossy for his argument and I look forward to this debate. First, I will say how my perimeters are relivant, and then attack my opponent's case, and then state my case. 1. Morals are defined "all that satan deems is true". Our world is corrupt. We are living in a world where no one has good morals. But, they are morals nontheless, corrupt or not. Satan is evil, and since humanity follows evil ways(ie war, sin, distrust, hate, etc.), satan is evil too. 2. Satan is a demon, and my opponent defined demon as "a person with great energy, drive, etc.". He then had "[1]" next to it. He provided no source, and I don't doubt his sources, but I would appreciate a proper link. I will, however, accept his defenition. Anyways, Satan is a person with great energy and drive, but do you know who else has that? Charlie Sheen. Charlie Sheen may have provided us with "Two and a Half Men", which I do admit enjoying to watch in my free time, but Charlie Sheen is a notorious man who is full of sin and is quite evil. Therefor, so is satan. 3. God created this world, and God is known as the ultimate good, and when good exists, so must evil. Satan is that evil. Nuff' said. 4. Alaska, known as the "frozen hell", is satan's second home after detriot. Everyone knows who satan is there. Her name is Sarah Palin. We can all agree on that point. Satan eats tortilla chips, as well. That is simply why most Americans don't like Mexicans. BOOOOO, Cheesedingo, bad boy! No racism! Also, she rides polar bears. They are fast, agile, and overall badass. It's obvious the king of the underworld would stroll in swag. 5. I love dinosaurs. Satan does not like the concept of "love". He make comet. Comet kill dinosaurs. Comet also crush Cheesedingo's dreams. Cheesedingo sad. Now, onto my opponent's case. I completely agree that it is in Detriot. Point given. And eggplant may equal the square root of infinity, but so does cucumber. MY OPPONENT HAS OVERLOOKED THIS POINT. Cucumber, as everyone knows, is the ultimate weakness of satan, besides clorox wipes(more on this later). Cucumbers are the weakness of satan, and satan is therefor scared of the place that posesses it: COSTCO. Costco will bring about the destruction of satan. How is this relevant, you may ask? Even I, who wrote this to pass on the information, do not know. And just because satan can summon sex slaves does not make him a good person. I, in fact, can do the same. I am far from a good person. Trust me. >:D And onto my opponents case on Russia. He may have made ice cream, but he only did that as a diversion so that they may not eat cucumbers. He was diverting it, distorting their vision so they would not see that they were being tricked. And satan did not stop the Nuclear War. Dr. Manhatten did [1]. Now, onto my case. Satan is a meany. He lives in detroit. It is a very bad place. Eminem was born and raised there[2], and he emerged from hell itself. Alice Cooper was born there too[2]. Satan made ice cream, but he also made pistachio ice cream, which is crap. He is a bad person. That is my case. Your move, pro. [1]Watchmen movie. [2]http://www.scribd.com...
Satan is not an evil demon.

Ok, on to the parameters he has set out: 1. Accepted 2. I would like to define demon as: A person with great energy, drive, etc. {1} 3. Accepted 4. FVCK YEAH 5. Thats cool. I like those dinosaurs with the sick-a$$ spike things on its back, and the horns on its head. Ok. Now onto my case. Satan, as you are well aware, resides in hell. Now, think about hell for a minute. Where is it? Anyone with a brain would know the answer to be Detroit. What does that matter, you may ask? I have no idea. I would like you to direct your attention to the video (Skip to the fifteen minute mark) . http://www.youtube.com... This clearly shows that the square root of infinity is actually Eggplant. If the eggplant is able to see the sky, I can see the earth. If I can see the earth, I can see how Satan helps me. I mean, he lets me have sex with as many people as I wish. How can a person like that NOT be cool? He can also summon sex slaves for you. That is awesome. These things all point to one conclusion: Russia. You see, after Chernobyl, Russia went into a deep depression. They kept eating ice cream to ease their pain. How does this relate to Satan? Simple. Satan is the inventor of Ice Cream. If Russia had no ice cream, it would have nuked everyone out of sadness. This clearly shows how Satan is not evil. He prevented Nuclear War. Your move, con.
Satan is not an evil demon.

First of all, I do agree that your font looks sexy. Point conceded.Secondly, I have peremeters.1) Morals are defined "as all that satan deems is true".2) Satan is a demon.3) God is the creator of this world.4) Alaska is a place of polar bears and tortilla chips.5) I love dinosaurs.THAT IS ALL!and.....CHEESEDINGO1 ACCEPTS!
Satan is not an evil demon.

This is for CheeseDingo1’s troll debate tourney. Hello everyone. I am here to spread the good word of Satan! See, I have recently seen a disturbing trend in which Satan is portrayed as an evil demon that wants to corrupt your soul and destroy God. This is simply not true. Satan just wants to help you. He wants to be your friend. I will try to show this. First round for acceptance. (BTW Font is Fangsong. It looks sexy)
Devil's Advocate Debate: Socialism is an overall a better system than Capitalism (rematch)

I thank Con once more for another of his strong rebuttals. For this round I shall proceed to with my conclusive argument by summarizing my opening arguments. 1. In my first argument I argued that Capitalism encourages scientific innovation through competition between companies, resulting inadvertently in the benefit of the consumer. 2. In my second argument I argued that Capitalism was in line with human nature, hence a more natural system for people due to it's appeal to competition and it's appeals to peoples ambition as a result of such. 3. In my third argument I argued that Capitalism facilitated economic growth, this argument was done through a contrast between the Economic development of China during Mao's period of socialistic policies and Deng Xiaoping's period of economic reform. Hence showing the correlation between Capitalism and economic development. I thank Con for an interesting and thought provoking debate,
Devil's Advocate Debate: Socialism is an overall a better system than Capitalism (rematch)

Capitalism and Technological innovation. Capitalism has encouraged technological innovation over the past several decades. The nature of Capitalism is what facilitates this. In a deregulated economy companies are left to fend for themselves (economically speaking), this leads to various companies faltering however the most innovative of the said companies often end up as dominant. Competitions between companies tend to value the ones that are the most innovative or most desirable to the consumer (whom usually make the majority of the population and hence make the company desirable by the population). In a Socialist society however such form of innovation do not tend to happen as companies lack much incentive or deterrent to do so. Capitalism and its appeal to human nature. Capitalism creates and values productivity, the economic "dog eat dog world" environment created by Capitalist policies give citezens a detterent and incentive to work harder. Comparable to my previous argument except applied to the mass population in general. The other appeal to human nature made is the desire for competition which could be seen in most levels of society in a capitalist economy, While this mentality may seem selfish at first, through individualist ambitions end up inadvertently benefitting society as a whole. Capitalism and Economic Development. Economic development in a Capitalist society tend to be more effect then in a socialist society. A graph to so for example of a country that went from Socialistic policies to economic deregulation; China in the late 70"s. In 1976 Chinese Chairman Mao Tse-tung died, leaving Chinese statesman Deng Xiaoping as the new chairman of China. China under Mao saw the coming of immense economic centralization and regulation. Mao"s reign lasted from the end of the Second Sino-Japanese war in May of 1950 until his aforementioned death in 1976. As seen in the graph above from the time period that Mao was Chairman, China saw very little economic growth under Mao"s socialistic policies. Under Deng however there was an immense deregulation of the economy that Mao left, from the period that farms were privatized to 1990, China began to experience more than twice the growth in a decade then they had in Mao"s entire reign. Capitalism for the reasons mentioned in the previous arguments is a system that is very strong at economic development. As companies are forced compete, prices drop down. As prices drop down, products that used to be inaccessible to low-income citizens become more easily affordable.

Devil's Advocate Debate: Socialism is an overall a better system than Capitalism (rematch)

This is the rematch to a previous debate that I have forfeited to : http://www.debate.org... The same rules apply in this debate as it had in the previous one but to reclarify here are the rules: - Both sides are playing the role of "Devil's Adovcate" - Burden of Proof is held by both sides (Both sides must prove that overall the system they argue for is better then the one that their opponent argues for) -Format of debate: R1: Acceptance of Terms (If terms are found unreasonable or innacurate to con then they may alter them but with only a reason as to why) R2: Opening Arguments R3: Rebuttals R4: Counter-rebuttals/Closing Arguments -Terms: Overall: With multiple factors being taken into account. Socialism: A political and economic theory of social organization that advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole. Capitalism: An economic and political system in which a country's trade and industry are controlled mostly by private owners for profit, rather than by the state. Better: Comparably good or well.
Video games are an innocent hobby!

On the Disad 1: Nonunique: The probability of a child curbstomping someone from playing 5 hours of Gears of War is small. The last time ANYTHING like that has happened was about three years ago, when Manhunt came out! MUCH worse games have come, and this hasn't happened. I just played Halo for about an hour, And I played about 50 people. NONE of them have gone out and killed anyone in the last year! Solvency: Yes, shooting people isn't innocent. But you can't claim a game like Mario Brothers "juvinile!" Thats what I mean by Innocent. BUT: once again, the chances of a kid going out and killing is small. Also, the ESRB rates games, and it is illegal to buy an M-Rated game under 18, so the only way for a kid to get it is a PARENT. No good parent would buy a game like that for a kid with a problem! 2. Yes, hobby is true. Video games are mainly used as a quick output for fun. It HAS come to a point where there are gamer jobs, but most gamers are just either kids, or adults around 35.(Except for Wii gamers, which I will get to later.) And in my house, SCHOOL BEFORE GAMES. It's the parents job to control it, and it shouldn't be taken as a juvinile crime. 3. What exactly do you mean by the stability of video games? Please explain. Impacts(Answers): 1. Video games don't kill. Not many cases of kids having warped minds. I played Mortal Kombat when I was 4, I'm not a killer! Not all games are violent, so video games in GENERAL can't be seen as bad. Some are even educational!(Leapster,Vsmile, etc) 2. It actually does rid the problem. Games are DESIGNED to make you get up, and games are in production so that you CAN't sit. Wii fit is an example. It comes with a balance board, so you must get up. Also, Wii sports DOES require Some movement! DDR is the same idea. Also, think about if it is raining, or snowing, or even cold. Would you play baseball in the snow? The Wii is also used in Rehab, so when people CAN'T go outside, they get excersize. And think about if you have the chicken pox, or something. Can't leave your house? Play Wii, DDR, Eyetoy, or Etc! 3. It actually does boost connections. I can't play baseball with my friends in China, India, or anywhere else BUT my town everyday, but I can with a game system. I also use my Xbox 360 as commmunication with my cousin in California!(Im in Illinois) We have fun, and talk at the same time. I am not saying that you should play video games ALL the time(I do agree some fresh air is needed every once in a while) But I am saying they aren't bad, and are ok. In conclusion, Video games RARELY cause violence, are changing to help keep in shape, and can help network the world. Thank you for a fun debate! I thought debating about video games would be a fun change from the Iran, Iraq, war stuff! Good luk in the next argument!
Video games are an innocent hobby!

First, thank you for posting this. It is an honor to oppose your statement. I agree with some of your statements. Video games tackle obesity in a progressive way lately and true, they can be a hobby. I negate although with the following point: Disadvantage 1 The Uniqueness Currently video games have been around for nearly thirty years. In that time they have evolved into many different progressions from their humble bad-pixled roots. Children are more likely to commit the actions of a character in a video game, video games require active participation, repetition promotes inclusion and finally video games are based on a solid reward system (you shoot someone, you are praised, don't and you are shot yourself). Needless to say this is not an act of violence in all games, but some do. The most commonly used would be Grand Theft Auto where games are targeted at children ages 13 and up to shoot, steal, kill, etc. These are not just people often, they're police officers. The Solvency Restrict video game use via the venders. I'm not going to press this seeing as I'm neg, but it couldn't hurt. You say that video games are an "innocent hobby." First on the word innocent, shooting people who ARE innocent is not harmless. Inciting violence is not something that is alongside playing chess or debating which are much closer to the definition. Second, the word hobby is not necessarily true. Video games are careers for some and they make good money. Pushed into that is the influence of money in the rewards system and the essence that school doesn't matter as much as getting to level five. You do not solve. You just make the situation worse. You don't have a plan to institute the stability of video games and your point goes no where, but where it is, leaving us with the impacts which leads me to... The Impacts 1. Video games kill. The incitement of violence takes it to far. Kids can name characters off real people, and shoot them in a surreal world. It warps young minds of their own reality. 2. You can claim that video games like the wii are making a head start in ridding the world of obesity, but really does that get rid the problem originally caused by things like television and video games? I have played the wii, and frankly you can do it sitting down pretty easily. I have also played DDR and the eye-toy and though they make progress it is not as rewarding as running or playing a sport in the arena of obesity. It causes it. 3. You say that this boosts our connections but again as I said before, not as much as other activities. This is a surreal world in which people pretend to be someone they aren't. If anything, this disconects you from the real world much much more than it would ever connect you. To conclude, Video games cause violence, the obesity you claim to prevent, and a surreal disconnection from the real world leading to the loss of lives and in all, the downfall of a global village.
Peanut Butter Is Better Than Jelly

Okay, first of all some of your sentences make no sense at all. Also your grammar kind of isn't really good at all... (Had to refrain from using another descriptive word there...) But alright then.... So jelly isn't as healthy. But my guess here is that there are way more people with peanut allergies than with jelly allergies, and also there there are more alternatives for people with specific fruit allergies than there are for people with peanut allergies. Not going to lie peanut butter is a great thing, but jelly is better. Think about all the different varieties of jelly... Grape, Strawberry, Apple, Blackberry, and the list goes on. How many flavors of peanut butter are there? Crunchy? Creamy? About this whole candy thing, could you imagine jelly in candy? It'd taste disgusting. Peanut butter has the luxury of tasting good on many different things, jelly isn't so lucky. However that doesn't mean jelly doesn't sell. Considering that Peanut butter and jelly is a classic mixture I'm willing to bet their sales are around equal. I would also like to point out that while jelly doesn't taste good for candy it does make a great addition to vanilla ice cream, crackers, and toast.
