Yugo is the worst modern car ever sold in america !!!

Thank you for responding, You had mentioned the Trabant, I would like to add that North and South America would be classified as the "Americas" Here is the definition- North America, South America and Central America. "America " - "The United States of America (also referred to as the United States, the U.S., the USA, the States, or America) is a federal constitutional republic comprising fifty states and a federal district. The country is situated mostly in central North America, where its forty-eight contiguous states and Washington, D.C., the capital district, lie between the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, bordered by Canada to the north and Mexico to the south. The state of Alaska is in the northwest of the continent, with Canada to the east and Russia to the west across the Bering Strait. The state of Hawaii is an archipelago in the mid-Pacific. The country also possesses several territories in the Caribbean and Pacific." So take The Trabant off your list. Also I would like to add that the Yugo shares the same rear axle design as the Pinto, (Gas tank behind the Axle) making the same crash worthiness as a Yugo. Rack and Pinion steering and front wheel drive is used on most modern cars. Yugo was well know for its power train and steering linkage problem and the 'Waterman Aerobile" has insufficient data for safety and reliability to make a point. I don't see any safety ratings from the NHTSA or any reliability ratings from consumer reports. The Yugo has a well documented case of data and ratings. The cars you presented are insufficient to make a point compared to the Yugo.
Yugo is the worst modern car ever sold in america !!!

I would appreciate if you would post rebuttals. Rebuttals----- 8th worst death rate? Well that's not the worst is it. The car was still registered in the U.S so it must have had some decency. Argument----- I still fail to see how the Yugo is worse then the Waterman Aerobile. This car was not even mass produced in America or anywhere for that matter. The argument said worst car ever sold. So it passes the requirements of this debate. I can tell you it is not easy to register this car. The body is much more flimsy then the Yugo as the materials needed must be lightweight for the flight. Like tin. In a crash this car would be flattened, even from the Yugo. Now that is saying something. I would also like to add that the Pinto killed thousands of people in it's exploding gas tank. You said ever sold in America. That includes North and South America . This allows me to add the Trabant to my list Trabant- The Trabant's East German background gives it a clear advantage in its bid for the Worst Car of All Time title. The now-fallen communist state provided ideal conditions for the creation of a truly awful vehicle: a demoralized labour force, incompetently-run factories, and a iron-fisted political system that crushed innovation. Trabants were pack and powered by smoke-belching two-stroke engines, and the bodies were constructed of compressed cardboard coated with plastic resin. Reliability was terrible, and the gearshift mechanism is generally agreed upon as one of the worst ever invented. None of these problems quenched demand. In East Germany, the Trabant was the only car available, and the waiting list was typically ten years long. The Trabant went out of production in 1990. The fall of the Berlin Wall removed the Trabant's key feature - a monopoly position. Also the Yugo had the great Rack and Pinion steering and front wheel drive. As that is sarcasm, These features keep the Yugo from claiming the worst car sold in America. References http://www.theglobeandmail.com...
Yugo is the worst modern car ever sold in america !!!

I'm pleased that you responded in a organized coherent matter. Yugos were produced at the Crvena Zastava factory in Kragujevac, in what is now Serbia. The plant's pre-automotive expertise was in making weaponry. Attention to detail and fine engineering were not exactly the high points of the Yugoslavian Communist mentality. And what's more, Zastava employees were generally under the influence of sljivovica, a "delicious" plum brandy that made the work day seem to go that much faster. The vehicle, had "the eighth highest death rate of the 134 most popular 1984–88 model cars on U. S. roads between 1985 and 1989, with 3.6 occupant deaths per 10,000 cars. " Source: . http://www.nhtsa.gov... The Yugo was voted " worst car of the millennium". Source: Time Magazine One critical maintenance issue specific to the Yugo was the need for regular replacement of the interference engine's timing belt — every 40,000 miles (64,000 km). In a non-interference engine, timing belt failure does not cause further damage to the engine. In an interference engine, however, timing belt failure disrupts synchronization between pistons and valves, causing them to smash into each other (hence the name interference engine), thus destroying the engine.

Yugo is the worst modern car ever sold in america !!!

I thank you for making this debate. Rebuttal ----- I do not like direct quotes but the Yugo is not the worst car ever sold in America. You will see worse cars in my argument Argument----- Worst definition: bad or ill in the highest, greatest, or most extreme degree So bad is a very vague term. So cars can be bad looking. Badly operating, have bad reliability, and bad in pretty much every aspect of a car. Here are some cars that have "bad" aspects. Ford Pinto- Tended to explode when in a rear-end collision. At least the Yugo did not explode .Pinto is a "bad" name. The car also lacks "good" style. 1957 Waterman Aerobile- A car with wings. That should be all I have to say about this car but I will continue in my explaining. A high-wing monoplane with tricycle wheels. The wings weighed the car down and it did a "bad" job at flying. Turning was worse then a Yugo. Speed was worse then a Yugo. Acceleration was worse then a Yugo. An needless to say it was worse looking then a Yugo. Also unreliable, even less reliable then the Yugo(when it comes to flying) and probably driving. Also if you were to crash in the "contraption" you would surely die. And yes this car was sold in America. Plymouth Prowler- One of the ugliest cars I have ever seen in my life. Its just that simple it is "bad" looking. Much uglier then the Yugo. The list could go on.... References Discover here http://dsc.discovery.com... http://www.time.com...
Yugo is the worst modern car ever sold in america !!!

Hi, I'm looking forward to this debate. Good Luck and Enjoy !! Malcolm Bricklin, he of the Bricklin SV1, wouldn't be satisfied until he had forced every American to walk to work. To that end, in 1985, he began importing the Yugo GV, which turned out to be the Mona Lisa of bad cars. Built in Soviet-bloc Yugoslavia, the Yugo had the distinct feeling of something assembled at gunpoint. Interestingly, in a car where "carpet" was listed as a standard feature, the Yugo had a rear-window defroster — reportedly to keep your hands warm while you pushed it. The engines went ka-blooey, the electrical system — such as it was — would sizzle, and things would just fall off. Yugo. Or not. Source : Read more: http://www.time.com...
The Earth is Flat

"1. Airplanes have flown around the entire world MANY times proving that the world has to be round otherwise there would be no way to get around the globe. 2. A plethora of pictures have been taken from outer space by satellites such as the hubble. http://www.hdwallpapersinn.com...... These pictures are photographs snapped by Hubble, and they all clearly show that the earth is round. 3. If the earth was flat, the moon would be gone. Moons can only orbit circular objects. 4. If the earth was flat, there would be no such thing as a solar or lunar eclipse. Since eclipses do exist, we know that the earth is round. 5. If you look at a ship in the distance, it will appear that the ship is actually emerging from the sea. This is because of the curvature of the earth."I do believe these are intrusive arguments against the flat earth model. We agreed not to make arguments in that round. Therefore, voters please ignore these points. Most were asserted without any evidence, and therefore can be dismissed without any evidence."Clouds are a part of the atmosphere. The atmosphere is curved with the earth, and is completely surrounding the earth. Likewise, clouds are curved around the earth, with some clouds lower than others. However, because clouds are wrapped around the earth, they are all moving at AROUND the same speed. (some clouds move faster because they formed lower in the sky) The answer is simple: The earth's rotation does not add anything to its momentum. This isn't true. With the example I supplied of the ship, you can actually see that the earth is round. Because the earth is so big, short distances are deceiving; it all looks relatively flat. As soon as you look at longer distances, some level of curvature is detectable."One of my valid points still remains. If a plane wants to travel from the North Pole to some point on the equator, why doesn't it need to travel in a vector pointing against the rotation of the earth? That is all. Please vote Pro for conduct (due to con's forfeit) and for better arguments, keep in mind that he didn't follow the debate structure. Thank you :)
The Earth is Flat

I apologize for my forfeit. Forfeiture means you receive the conduct point at the end of the debate. Because neither of us presented arguments for round 3, I will take this opportunity to defend the round earth model. Here are just a few reasons. 1. Airplanes have flown around the entire world MANY times proving that the world has to be round otherwise there would be no way to get around the globe. 2. A plethora of pictures have been taken from outer space by satellites such as the hubble. http://www.hdwallpapersinn.com...

If you look at a ship in the distance, it will appear that the ship is actually emerging from the sea. This is because of the curvature of the earth. -His Case- Clouds are a part of the atmosphere. The atmosphere is curved with the earth, and is completely surrounding the earth. Likewise, clouds are curved around the earth, with some clouds lower than others. However, because clouds are wrapped around the earth, they are all moving at AROUND the same speed. (some clouds move faster because they formed lower in the sky) The answer is simple: The earth's rotation does not add anything to its momentum. This isn't true.

The Earth is Flat

My first problem with a round earth would be the speed of clouds. Near the equator, you should see clouds moving at crazy fast speeds since the earth is rotating underneath to make the appearance of day and night. As an extension to this argument, Why doesn't a plane traveling from the north pole to the equator have to travel in a vector diagonal to the point he wants to reach, pointing against the spin of the earth? My final problem would be that the curvature of the earth is not evident to the human eye, despite the distances we can see. It isn't evident even in a plane. With all of this in mind, the round earth is not a viable theory.Please look at these pictures: https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com...https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com...https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com...I look forward to your arguments against the flat earth :) I honestly can't come up with anymore than this. :P
Adopt China's Planned Birth Policy Globally

You're welcome. You never know when you'll need to be aware of the present date!!!!! Smiles and kisses. But really, sarcasm doesn't help prove your point. In only makes you look like you lost the point. Not many businesses rely on a sole family anymore. Saying so is downright stupid, and no matter how much sarcastic glitter you want to put around it, you still failed to address the point. Hugs and happy holidays! ---- Let's again go paragraph by paragraph. First Paragraph: What crabjuices is doing here is completely twisting around what I've been saying. In his first turn, he directly states as his thesis, "I would search for alternative solutions". Then in my turn, I try to explain that this is hypocritical, because the only two realistically effective ways of preventing overpopulation, is by birth control or abortion. China's Planned Birth Policy would directly encourage people to do both. The only plan crabjuices has put out, is to wait, and hope for someone (or some people) to think of something. Crabjuices says that he would like to prevent overpopulation, but how can you without taking action? My plan is far more effective. Third and Fourth Paragraph: What crabjuices is doing now, is trying to disprove the effectiveness of my policy. However, the ONLY argument he makes for his defense is that it would be unnatural. When trying to provide evidence to back it up, he starts off his incoherent rant by saying, "My guess would be…" Great argument there! Again, you say that you want to prevent overpopulation, but you fail to want to take any action. China's Planned Birth Policy is what we need to do. If it is "weird", fine, but you know (as you've stated), and I know, that if the current trends continue there will no longer be any human life left. Again, what other way is there of preventing overpopulation, then lessening the amounts of births? Should we start KILLING people??? No matter how long we procrastinate, there is no other way of preventing overpopulation. No genius(es) is/are going to save us. Putting this simply, the only way to prevent overpopulation, is to prevent overpopulation. And the best way to do this, is with China's Planned Birth Policy. Sixth and Seventh Paragraph: What crabjuices is doing now, is trying to push his idea of procrastinating. I think we've gone through this ridiculous thought enough to realize its idiocy. ---- This is where the debate stands: Both crabjuices and I, understand that overpopulation is a grave issue. Is we don't address this, we both understand that it could mean the end of human life itself. However, I believe that we should take action, while crabjuices says we need to procrastinate. This is not right. I must give credit to crabjuices though, with his great flop. We do need birth control, and if a couple is one of the .04% unlucky ones, perhaps they may consider abortion. Bottom line. Overpopulation is a serious issue and the way to resolve this issue, is with China's Planned Birth Policy.
Adopt China's Planned Birth Policy Globally

Thanks for taking the time to engage my arguments. Let me remind you that you are arguing in favor of China's Planned Birth Policy to be adopted globally. I am simply proving why this policy will not work globally. Response to your rebuttal: Overpopulation is a big problem and I do support birth control. I never said abortion shouldn't be used. China's plan may be effective but at the cost of natural human rights. Again, I am only arguing why China's plan will not be adopted globally. Why is China not revolting to this policy? My guess would be fear of imprisonment and a willingness to follow the collective rules. In other nations, say America, we have certain liberties like free speech that leads to more individuality. You are completely right in thinking that commercial-based farming involves machines, illegal immigrants, and truckers. Thanks PoeJoe, for bringing me up to speed on the current century. However, I was using farming only as an example and had small sustainment-based agriculture in mind. We are not waiting for one mind to come along with the answer to overpopulation. We are waiting for enough collaborations between humans to develop a winning solution that is both humane and fair. I do support birth control. Also, I have many ideas of how to help sustainably support our rising population. However, this is outside of the scope of this debate. Once again, we are arguing over whether the world should adopt China's Planned Birth Policy, which I am proving against. I look forward to your informed response, PoeJoe
Adopt China's Planned Birth Policy Globally

You are right in thinking that over-population is a very difficult challenge that we face. However, I would search for alternative solutions to China's Planned Birth policy for the following reasons. 1. State or government limitations on children is unnatural. China's policy will virtually eliminate the very traditional concept of siblings and aunts/uncles. It will also greatly reduce the likelihood of family survival. 2. Certain families depend on their children as a work force. (i.e. rural farming) 3. More minds equal more solutions. From what I can gather, people are smart. With good education, billions of minds can and probably will find population solutions like eco-building, space sustainability, and ocean dwelling. 4. Families could face the dilemma of abortion vs. prison. A woman who would have the liberty of choosing to be pro-life should not be punished in a world where no birth control is 100%, short of invasive operations.
history&authenticity

If I were a God, and I chose to reveal myself to Man, my method of revelation would depend greatly on why I were doing so. It would also very probably depend on factors I simply can't comprehend as a human being. The best answer I can give you is "not subtle, but not soon". I would much rather wait until much, much later in a civilization's development, both culturally, and technologically then we are now. I would probably speak to them directly and as intellectual equals.
The Electoral College Should Be Abandoned

It seems as though every time I find myself in a discussion regarding the Electoral College I hear people saying that it should be abandoned in favor of a nationwide popular vote for the presidency. This argument is so completely absurd that my skin crawls every time I hear it. The Founding Fathers knew what they were doing, and they created a structure of government that has lasted for over two centuries. Furthermore, countries all around the world have emulated our democracy. The Electoral College is part of the U.S. Constitution for very good reasons and anyone who opposes it hasn't done his/her homework. In my experience, people only argue against the Electoral College when the candidate they favor for president doesn't win the election. Is there someone out there willing to discuss the issue of abandoning the Electoral College System and replacing it with a Nationwide Popular Vote?
Medea is Responsible for her Actions

1. Alright.2. Could be the movement she or her husband had not enough chance to sent them in a day care. 3. Agree6. Not kill all of chater father's children. Children should be alive Medea did it becaose of she was not on her mind but it does not means that she is responsible for killing them. Anger forced her to kill them.7. Yes it is proved that ske killed her children but she was very hopeless and she could find anything t control herself. She wanted to get some benefits and her family was really poor to give her it. Without having any benefits she recieved so many sorrows from her family. A person did it from her seriousness. It does not means that she is selfish. And she is responsible for all of this action.
Medea is Responsible for her Actions

1.Agree. 2. If she is mentally sick then she had to stay make do something before what will able to protect her children or sent her children any day care where they could be alive except of got killed from own Mather. 3. If you friend does it I remomend it to you that tell her to go to doctor and make sure she has everything well. 4. Agree 5.Agree 6.Alright Understood children become like their father but only for this, is a mother has to kills her children? If it means cheater father's children become cheater like him, then all mothers should kill their children who get cheater father. 7. After everything it proved that she is a murderer. She killed her children for her own pleasure. She was a selfish mother. She is responsible for all actions.
Medea is Responsible for her Actions

1. Angain the movment she got highest angry at her husband. She could not find any other things to committes that is why she did it. The movement she needed to some helps, she did not think about right or wrong. She felt really helpless. The situation was very bad. She had to do it by unjustifying.2. Yes, children are innocent and she was the mother of those children who were killed by their own mother. But what does a person do if she gets mantally ills or forcing by family and husband?3. I have known one of my friends who is really nice to everyone and helps everyone from top of her heart but while people make her angry she just goes crazy and do whatever she wants, even though she does not get TO HURT HER SELF. I guess this movement she also felt like my friend and could not control herself.4. While a perosn gets angry she/he loss their mind and it drives her/him crazy, same as a drunk while he drink so much and bacomes crazy. 5. Eventhough she had love and feelings for own children. The anger made her a killer.6. Well if the children will be alive, they may love her so much but rest of the children become same as their father. Every genaration bacome like their past. And her children may would be like their father because everytime at least one of the children gets same behave like their own blood.
Medea is Responsible for her Actions

1. Agree only because of anger's angry depends on their feelings but, children are angel to parents. Parents love their children more than their own life. So how come a mother behaved to her children as a behave like an enemy? 2. She chose kill her own children who are innocent from the betrayal of their father. She sinned by choosing to kill her children. 3. Yes it could be anyone's while they get angry but usually it is never happens so is not it means is was a plan to kill the children? 4. Agree. 5. Disagree because even though it depends on feeling but was not a little bit of love for children? 6. Understood she was in love with her husband and she believes someday her children will be like their father and they also going to cheat to her in future. But in future can be totally change they mat will love her so much more than her thoughts.
Medea is Responsible for her Actions

1. While a prson angry she/her able to ommittes their angry to others that is the reason why she harmed and chose killing.2. A mother is always responsible for her childrens but she did not and otherwise, she harmed the highest to her children. Obviously,it hurt her as a mother but she was forced to do it. 3. If a person gets forcing from all over, is not she dose the thingd what usually force her so much? It not becaue of a mother an anger becomes uncontrolable when he/she gets angry. I guess the movement she got angry she could control herslfe and fell it to her own children.4. The defined of an anger's feeling is annoyance and displeasure. Medea could not control herself caused of her to did a outrageous acting.5.When I person gets angry he/she begins doing unnatural behaving.6.Again, she used to loving her husband so much while he cheated to her. She became uncotrolable and killed her children.
