Monotheism came before polytheism

"I was talking about Greek mythology, not necessarily Greek society. Greece was a society of diversity, and many were monotheists. I was talking about Greek mythology, such as Zeus, Artemis, etc. You don't seem to understand a hierarchy. Just because something is deemed more powerful, or is worshipped more, does not mean it is a singular, all powerful God. Nowhere in the definition of polytheism does it state all gods must be worshipped equally. " Like i said, according to my 1st source, Plato stated that there was an all-powerful supreme "God." "Actually, while some polytheistic gods do have seperate will and desires, they can work together. In example, gods in Greek mythology were said to pick sides in wars. " Con gave no sources to back his claim and plus, just because they picked sides, doesn't mean they worked together constantly as the holy trinity. "While some Egyptian cities may have only worshipped one god, they did not deny the gods of others and attributed polytheistic qualities such as accepting and absorbing other deities. " The source says they had a monotheistic concept of one God. "While some societies may have had the concept of one God that branched off into others, these singular Gods definitely do not confirm such a bold and insulting statement. It implies that all those who were not Christian were evil and dishonest." This is the fallacy of non sequitur. ". I would say that I don't know for sure, which certainly isn't a concession on my part." You would say you don't know, but your position in this debate is to disprove the claim that "monotheism came before polytheism." While yes, there are more explanations, these are the ones that have been noted by experts.
Goku is Better Than Superman

Ahem, may I present the powers of silver age Superman: Virtually limitless superhuman strength Stamina Invulnerability (except to kryptonite and magic) (as in, a kamehameha may destroy a planet, but cant touch Superman unless fueled by Kryptonite) Extreme longevity (in some stories as long as he is under a yellow sun) Enhanced mental processes, including an eidetic memory and genius-level intellect It is logically impossible for Goku to obtain Kyrptonite, SO I urge a con vote.
Goku is Better Than Superman

Goku is a lot better than Superman as he is a lot stronger and powerful.Superman loses all of his superhuman power on contact with kryptonite unlike Goku. Ergo Superman is not as resilient as Goku. Superman also does not have the ability to maintain his superpower without some sort of sunlight. Goku on the other-hand is not limited to fighting without the sun so Goku can fight anywhere at anytime. Goku has saved the Universe while Supeman is limited to Earth. Sources: DBZ www.wikipedia.org
The "Kung fu Panda" Characters were based on different styles of kung fu.

The Kung fu Panda characters (The Furious Five) and Tai Lung are created and based on Chinese martial arts styles, mostly kung fu. Other than the Po the panda, the Furious Five characters like Master Tigress, Master Monkey, Master Mantis Master Crane and Tai Lung are all based on different kinds of kung fu martial arts styles. Some disagree with that, but I agreed that the Furious Five characters are based on five martial arts styles of Kung fu. The Furious Five and Tai Lung are homage's to the Crane, Snake, Monkey, Praying Mantis, Tiger and Leopard styles of Chinese martial arts. http://en.wikipedia.org... Master Tigress is based on the Tiger style kung fu. http://www.youtube.com... Master Monkey is based on the monkey kung fu. http://www.youtube.com... Master Mantis is based on the praying mantis kung fu. http://www.youtube.com... Master Viper is based on the snake kung fu (my personal favorite style). http://www.youtube.com... Master Crane is based on the Crane Kung fu http://www.youtube.com... Tai Lung was based on the Leopard Kung fu. http://www.youtube.com... It is not a coincidence the creators and producers of the movie could have chosen the animals randomly and gets six out of six of the Kung fu animal style correct. The creators and the producers could have chosen a thousand of different animals but they chose six, which happens to be the six animal's styles of kung fu. The creators and producers did their research and chose the animals tiger, leopard, snake, monkey, crane and praying mantis because of the six Kung fu animal styles.
The "Kung fu Panda" Characters were based on different styles of kung fu.

Again, the producers and creators choosing the six animals for Kung Fu Panda based on the six animals styles of kung fu. I don't know HOW someone by coincidence, choosing six animals out of a thousand animals at random for Kung Fu Panda and it happens that those six could be the six animal style of kung fu. You haven't explain yet how that can be a coincidence, because it is not a coincidence. They producers studies what kind of animals styles of kung fu there are and chosen the tiger, snake, crane, praying Mathis, monkey and leopard animals for their characters. You are also stating that my videos are all fantasies? Take it from someone who has yet having a single resource. My you tube videos of both of my first and second arguments are similar. http://www.youtube.com... http://www.youtube.com... You are tying to knock off my wikipedia resource, I checked and they have not yet taken off of wikipedia, because it is true and not false. The crane kung fu fighters are patience fighters, a personality towards Master Crane. A monkey style likes to fight with antics, causing distraction for opponents and high activeness. Master Monkey likes to fight with antics, causing distraction against his opponents and very active when fighting, sometimes even not fighting. Praying Mantis Kung fu style likes to grab their opponents, just like Master Mathis like to grab his opponents and striking like a praying mantis fighter. Tiger fighting style likes to strike with aggression and relying on his or her strength, Master Tigress likes to fight with aggression and relying on her strength to strike an opponent. In other words, all of the "Furious Five" characters' personality and fight styling are the same style and personality as the five animal kung fu styles and personality. Is that a coincidence too? I don't think so. (http://en.wikipedia.org...) For the leopard, Tai Lung is a leopard and his fight style is similar to the leopard style. Leopard likes to develop muscle speed for external strength and uses his punches for penetration and lower springing power, just like how Tai Lung likes to fight. I don't think coincidence with choosing the animals, fighting style AND personality could play a factor here out of a thousand (maybe millions) possibilities, it just impossible. http://www.youtube.com...
The "Kung fu Panda" Characters were based on different styles of kung fu.

Your ‘Six out of Six' argument can be a coincidence, even though there is a thousand other possibly of choosing other animals. For your You Tube videos, they are all be fantasies, just like your cartoon videos. Don't believe EVERYTHING you see on TV or you tube. Besides, your first argument You Tube videos fighting styles are nowhere near the same fighting style of your second round You Tube videos.
The "Kung fu Panda" Characters were based on different styles of kung fu.

Two out of two could be a coincidence, but six out of six out of a thousand animals they could have chosen can never a coincidence. You haven't come an explanation against the You Tube videos. http://www.youtube.com... Master Tigress is based on the Tiger Style Kung fu. The tiger is an aggressive, wide kicks and with powerful blows. If you take a look at the Tigress' fighting style, it is similar to the You Tube tiger style in my first round argument. http://www.youtube.com... Master Viper is based on the snake kung fu. Just like how Master Viper Strikes, the snake likes to entwine with their enemy's defense and strike in an unexpected spots. If you look at Master Viper fighting style, it is similar how a person fights with his hands in the snake You Tube video in my first argument http://www.youtube.com... Master Crane fighting style is how the Bruce Lee demonstrates the Crane kung fu style. Bruce Lee is the king and the father of kung fu, so his word always final. http://www.youtube.com... Master Monkey fights how a monkey kung fu fighter fights. Monkey kung fu likes to make fun of his opponents and fooling them by doing so, just like how Master Monkey likes to fight in the second argument you tube video. http://www.youtube.com... Master Mantis fights is like a Praying Mantis Kung fu fighter.
The "Kung fu Panda" Characters were based on different styles of kung fu.

I argue against you that the Kung Fu Panda ‘Furious Five' characters (the exception of Po) are not based on the animal style of martial arts. I believe it is a coincidence that the producers or creators have chosen the five animals of the furious five and not chosen based on the animal kung fu styles. One of your resources is from wikipedia, anyone can write their own beliefs in anything and you could have wrote in the wikipedia that the animal style are from the six kung fu style. So, the wikipedia is out.
I need to use the bathroom.

That escalated quickly. Dear sir, your comments are immensely rude. I am merely giving you my sincerest and most useful opinion, and what do you do? You throw vulgar phrases my way! The audacity! Furthermore, I feel as though I must advise a small nap. Not only will it help with your crabby demeanor, it will also do wonders for your constitution! Your urination issues should vanish, and with a little luck, you may even get a life. Hugs!
I need to use the bathroom.

Then why did you ask for help? It seems to me that you suffer from an uncontrollable dependence upon other people for the most menial of tasks. For example, you publicly announced your urge to use the bathroom. Why, might I ask, did you lower yourself to a point so low and humiliating? For all you know, I need to use the bathroom as well, but you sure won't see me announcing it to all of cyberspace! Sadly, there is only one cure to your lack of independence. You must go out into the woods all by yourself and survive for a month (30 days) on your lonesome. Only then will you have obtained a level of self confidence seen in any form of human life form. Until then, you are a leech upon society. Cheers!
Justin Bieber Should be Given the Death Penalty

This is... interesting. PRO doesn't really rebut my arguments... he just sort of acknowledges that they're there, and then moves on to other stuff. The fact remains that Bibez didn't murder a reporter with his car. I'm sorry, PRO, but the only thing Justin Bieber has murdered is pop music after his latest album -and that is not a capital crime. (1) PRO's conspiracy theory is interesting, though. PRO claims that the Biebz is part of some assassination plot -but the only evidence is that JB is teeny-bop-pop's Manchurian candidate. We find support for this claim in the fact in his song when he looked like a young and sexually androgynous figure in "Baby" that later grew into this: http://static0.nydailynews.com.... Warning. Explicit content. And being a thug with a gross wanna-be mustache (seen here: http://images6.fanpop.com...) doesn't make him one of the most evil people in the world. It just makes him the gross and ugly paragon of what it means to be white trash which happened to come into entirely too much money at entirely too young of an age. The truth is that we should be taking pity on JB... that is, after locking him in the stockades and caning his Bieber buns for being a giant douche. Finally, I'll just make a simple note of this in passing... Obama does not hate JB. Here's a picture of the president of the United States shaking hands with that terribly truculent twink: http://images.intouchweekly.com.... Justin Beiber also sang at the White House. See video. http://www.youtube.com... It may be that some people (like my opponent) want to kill JB, just as Iran wants to kill homosexuals and Texas wants to kill all the black people and latinos that their racist cops arrest, but that's just not acceptable. The death penalty is not an acceptable consequence for JB's social faux pauses. Locking him in the stockades, and subjecting him to some hard core S&M style public humiliation might, however... That is why I submit to you, the judge, my counter plan: Lock JB in the stockades and allow the American public to paddle his Bieber buns as retaliation for all the unpleasantness he has inflicted on us since visiting his Bieberishness on the lower 48. I don't question that the people need revenge, so let's give it to them! At least we'll still be better (and kinkier) than Iran and Texas. (1) http://en.wikipedia.org...
Justin Bieber Should be Given the Death Penalty

COUNTER-REBUTTALSMy opponent's argument heavily depends on whether or not he commited capital crime. My 2cd argument: exactly, let's execute him in Iran or Texas.My 3rd argument: Again, put him in Iran then kill him.4th argument: yeah, yeah, I know, I'm getting to that.So, as can seen above, YYW heavily depends on whether or not JB commited a capital crime. Well, he certainly did. He killed that photographer with his car. He also attempted to assassinate the president in a secret plot (see video source for evil plot forming) He is considered one of the most evil people in the world[1], and even if he didn't succeed in his attempt, he was still hated by the president...The president is so darn angry he even created a meme about it And Bieber even wanted to kill his love, Selena Gomez. [2] In fact, Obama hated JB so much, he narrowly deported Justin Bieber just because of his personal feelings, had it not been his presidential duty to try to be as unbiased as possible. On a side note, President Bill Clinton that was insulted (but Bill has no power to give JB the death penalty). [3]Again, I repeat, people want to kill Justin Bieber. Why not do it for them, except ignore the part about castration? (Because the addition of such torture may be over-the-board). Justin will get less pain than he would from the torturers but still get what people want--remember, we have majority rules! (To stress this again, even in a poll about his deportation, the majority want him deported [4])However, deportation would do nothing. He would egg Chinese houses. He would kill Canadian photographers. He would still recklessly drive around and obtain African drugs and spit on his fans. The only solution still remains...THE DEATH PENATLY.Back to you, con.http://www.youtube.com...[1] http://www.thetoptens.com...[2] http://hollywoodlife.com...[3] http://hollywoodlife.com...[4] http://hollywoodlife.com...
Justin Bieber Should be Given the Death Penalty

Many thanks to PRO and all judges. Let's finish this. PRO's got not evidence that JB was involved in an assassination plot of any kind, so that argument falls. That the president doesn't have a single JB song on his iPod isn't surprising. I'm pretty sure that the president's not gay or a 14 year old girl, but I'm still a little confused why PRO even brought that up. Should we execute all musicians Obama doesn't listen to? What a ridiculous standard. Above, I suggested that we lock JB in the stockades and allow people to paddle his Bieber buns for all the unpleasantness JB's inflicted on us all. PRO thinks people might take it too far -which I find a little ironic. PRO wants to execute JB, but now he's afraid that people might get a little too spank-happy? Even still, there's a simple solution. Install a few muscular S&M leather daddies to supervise the general public's Bieber butt beating. That just doesn't make sense. I'm not sure why castration came up either. Aside from being gross, that's beyond the scope of the resolution -meaning that it's not a reason why JB should be executed. Like I said above and which PRO has made really no attempt to rebut, we only execute capital criminals. PRO's mention of shipping JB to Iran or Texas doesn't matter, because we're not Iran or Texas. We're the United freaking States of America. JB's not a capital criminal, so we can't execute him and therefore I've won this debate. However, I acknowledge the public's need for revenge and I've suggested a counter plan to make that happen. I have a theory that the public Bieber paddling will be more satisfying to the public as well, because it allows them to add their own personal touch. I've responded to my opponent's concerns about the risks involved and I've summarily come up with a way better idea to assuage the general public's need to get back at the Biebz.
Justin Bieber Should be Given the Death Penalty

FINAL ROUNDI'm aware that I only acknowledged that your arguments were there, the important argument of yours hinges on whether or not Justin Bieber did the capital crime.My opponent does not really make any suggestion that JB is in fact NOT part of an assassination plot, so my argument still stands. As for Obama not hating JB, I have a video that suggests otherwise.http://www.youtube.com...In addition, Obama doesn't even have a single JB song on his iPad. [1] Thus it can be concluded he is definitely not a fan and at the very least does not like Justin. Locking JB in the stockades and allowing the public to paddle his Bieber buns: the biggest problem is those people who go too far. Do we really want to allow him to get castrated? Well, we stopped the murder plot, so this much is obvious--we don't want him castrated. The people might beat him up to death anyways in YYW's counter-plan, fulfilling my punishment of the death penalty. Moreover, there still remains the problem of the fans JB has. They'll probably revolt against the public and attempt to stop them, as well as talking about their minority rights. Although the majority rules, I think that if we put him in a more secretive area and only allowed haters inside, then JB will definitely be tortured enough and we will allow him to get the death penalty via the people who hate JB. IN CONCLUSION-Obama Hates Justin along with the majority of the public-JB deserves all his hate and punishment-The people will kill him in YYW's counter-plan anyways, fulfilling my punishment of the death penaltyThis was an interesting debate.Vote me.[1] http://www.justinbieberzone.com...
Medical Marijuna should be legalized in all 50 states (This is a practice Debate)

No problem, Pro. I'm just going to go down and address Pro's arguments one by one, while also bringing up some more factual evidence and rhetoric. "But for the above argument, this is very incorrect. Marijuna is not very dangerous, there has been no known deaths directly tied to the consumption or use of Marijuna. I would like to begin with the fact that Pro has brought up no sources explaining how marijuana is not dangerous. He basically said that 'because there have been no known deaths directly tied to the consumption or use of marijuana, it's not dangerous.' In the United Kingdom, more than 30,000 people could die of cannabis smoking yearly.[1] There are a few more reasons on why Marijuana is dangerous, that this quote will explain below." People who smoke marijuana often have the same respiratory problems as cigarette smokers. [...] Marijuana contains some of the same, and sometimes even more, of the cancer-causing chemicals found in cigarette smoke. [...] Marijuana may also cause testicular cancer. Marijuana also may affect mental health. Studies show that early use may increase the risk of developing psychosis [...] Also, rates of marijuana use are often higher in people with symptoms of depression or anxiety."[2][3]Also Marijuna is not addictive.No evidence to back up this point besides Pro's personal experiences which are definitely not universal. You as the voters should side with the person with more evidence and statistics to back up his/her points. The only reason users feel a feeling paranoia is because they are afraid they are going to get caught and get in HUGE trouble, which is wrong, if the government is okay with the legalization of weed, then why does it carry such a high punishment for the use, and LEGAL distribution. This entire point really contradicts itself - first, the Pro says that we need to legalize it medically, and then he goes on to say that the 'government is okay with it'. Please clarify in your next speech.Argument 2)(I don't have enough room to restate his entire point, please refer back to his 'Argument 2'.) First of all, I have brought up statistics on how marijuana is addicting, while Pro continues to assume that his experience is universal. Plus, all those responses have NO warrants- I have provided actually studies, while Pro just cites his personal experience, and brings facts into the debate round that have no citations.Finally, Pro has brought up no advantages of legalizing medical marijuana.At the end of today's debate round, I would urge a vote for the debater with more credibility and facts.1. http://www.dailymail.co.uk... 2. http://www.drugs.com...3. http://www.drugs.com...
Medical Marijuna should be legalized in all 50 states (This is a practice Debate)

"1) Legalization of medical marijuana is a 'back door' for consumption of recreational marijuana, 2) Marijuana is a highly dangerous and addictive substance 3) Marijuana is dangerous" Alright to start off, thank you Con for the response. But for the above argument, this is very incorrect. Marijuna is not very dangerous, there has been no known deaths directly tied to the consumption or use of Marijuna. Also Marijuna is not addictive. I have personally smoked marijuna, and I have never felt any of these "side effects" The only reason users feel a feeling paranoia is because they are afraid they are going to get caught and get in HUGE trouble, which is wrong, if the government is okay with the legalization of weed, then why does it carry such a high punishment for the use, and LEGAL distribution. Now I understand this if it is illegal, but most of the time, you go to jail longer for selling weed than killing someone. " Marijuana is addictive. Marijuana is as addictive as alcohol[3]. Here are a few statistics proving the similarities: "One study looked at 2,446 young adults between the ages of 14-24, and followed them for a period of 4 years. Approximately 10% met the criteria for marijuana addiction. 17% experienced withdrawal when they stopped using, 14% had difficulty controlling their use, and 13% continued to use even though they had health problems due to their marijuana use." 2nd Argument: for the above argument, again I have smoked weed, and sadly I to have Drank. And non of these were addictive to me. And also Marijuna doe snot raise the heart beat, it actually slows it down and makes you calm, it also doesn't kill braincells, it actually promotes cell growth, and it is used for medical use I was diagnosed with chronic migraines at the age of ten, after I tried weed, my headaches went away for quite a while, but as soon as I stopped, they came back. This concludes my rebuttals and contentions. Thank you. ALSO SORRY FOR NOT RESPONDING QUICKLY, I DON'T HAVE A TON OF TIME IN CLASSES.
