We should use the term ‘fat' instead of ‘obese'

British Government Minister Anne Milton yesterday suggested that doctors should call overweight patients "fat" rather than "obese". 'She told the BBC the term fat was more likely to motivate them into losing weight. She said it was important people should take personal responsibility for their lifestyles. Professor Steve Field, of the Royal College of GPs, said he agreed with Ms Milton and already tried to use the term fat as much as he could. "I think the term obese medicalises the state. It makes it a third person issue. I think we need to sometimes be more brutal and honest."' http://www.bbc.co.uk... The point here is that the fat rarely accept that it is their own fault they are overweight and, until they face the truth, they will never lose weight. By coincidence, earlier this week it was reported that 50% of women of childbearing age are now overweight. http://www.bbc.co.uk... This means, for men who don't fancy fat women much (which is pretty much all men) over half the stock of available girls are going to be complete non-starters. Of course, the remaining 50% of girls are in huge demand as a result and this causes tensions amongst the men in pubs and clubs who are unable to pick up a decent bit of skirt before chucking-out time. Sadly, these tensions often escalate into violence, which places a huge strain on the police and ambulance services at night. And all this because some people are too greedy and lazy to eat sensibly and get some exercise. The Minister is right - we shouldn't allow these idle gluttons to hide behind the term "obese" any longer – they are just extremely fat people, that's all. Seriously fat people deserve no sympathy from normal people, it's their own fault they are fat, and if they don't like being called "fat" they should just lose some weight. This would not only be good for their health but would also relieve the chronically restricted supply of attractive women in pubs and clubs. Thank you.
The U.S. Military Infantry and Special Forces should remain closed to women

Thanks to Con for closing out the final round of rebuttals. I will keep my conclusion short. Throughout this debate my opponent knocks down "straw men" by refuting points I'm not trying make. Extending all arguments to groups other than women and then refuting those extensions is a tactic used by Con to avoid answering how integrating females specifically will not cause significant consequences. Let us be clear. This is not an equal rights issue. Women DO have the right to serve in the armed forces if they wish, and tens of thousands do so honorably every year. But when it comes down to those small, elite units whose sole job is to seek out, engage, and destroy the enemy in brutal combat, it's not a question of equality. It's a question of effectiveness. Only the most effective, most cohesive units survive - and survival is the name of the game in combat. There are two main reasons to suspect integration will actually decrease effectiveness: 1) If standards for men and women are not totally equal in every way (and currently, they are not), units will cultivate favoritism, discrimination, and jealousy. 2) If standards DO become equal in every way, females will surrender their sexual privacy. This leads to sexual distraction which can destroy cohesion and only invites the epidemic of sexual assault in the military to worsen. We protect sexual privacy for obvious reasons in civilian society, why should we destroy it in military society? This is not about equality, or career advancement, or sexism. It's about being effective on the battlefield. How do I know this? I am an Army Ranger and a combat veteran. I have led multiple platoons in both training and war. I know what it takes to be an infantryman from years of experience. As such, I maintain that Con has failed to convincingly argue how integrating females would not decrease the effectiveness of these vital units. Now it is up to you, the voter, to decide. I wish to congratulate my opponent on a well fought debate, I had fun and I hope they did too. Once again, thanks to everyone who followed this all the way to the end.

Opening RemarksSo friends, here we are again. In the on going saga of men....well it's usually men denying women that which they don't deny themselves. Men.......and it's usually men have in the past have denied women, on the sole basis that they are a woman such things as......1) Bodily rights/right to abortion2) The right to vote3) The right to marry whom they choose4) The right to own land5) The right to be a minister of religion6) The right to not to wear a cloth bag/burka when in public7) The right to drive a car8) Etc etcAnd men...........and it's usually men in their own mind have good arguments to support those denials, but they are not good arguments usually it just crap praying on peoples prejudices against women. Maybe Pros argument is different ? maybe this time we actually have a sound argument for denying a woman something, just on the sole basis that a person has a vagina/ovaries...... I wouldn't count on it.Pooping into a bag & wipe downsPro informs us of some acts that might have to be committed in the line of duty, such as pooping in a bag while in a tank and giving each other wipe downs. Yeah and how exactly do we go from those acts to well therefore we must never, ever, ever allow a woman into the infantry or special forces ? well the only thing I see to make this link is that Pro conjures up a woman's right to privacy.Would Pro accept the exact same argument about pooping in a tank, wipe downs and pooping in a trench and a man's right to privacy to deny all men to enter into the infantry and special services? of course not. The argument here is SELECTIVLY APPLIED ONLY TO WOMEN.Dealing with people that hold woman in low regardPro cites the examples of military operations having to deal with people who hold woman in low regard. Even if we grant that in certain cases in the name of expediency that women should not be involved in a certain way in those missions how does this justify that therefore that woman should be banned from infantry and special forces in it's entirety ? it doesn't, it's a complete non sequitur.Also notice once again the double standard here. Pro cites the military having to deal with people who hold woman in low regard, well guess what the military has and will have to deal with people who hold other groups of people in low regard such as........Christians, Homosexuals,Catholics,Protestants,Atheists,Whites,Blacks.Does Pro advocate that all these groups should be banned from the infantry and special forces too using the same argument ? of course not. Once again he only APPLIES HIS ARGUMENT SELECTIVELY TO WOMEN.SummaryI maintain Pro has not provided an argument that can be used consistently to deny women entry into the infantry and special forces. Pro has arguments that he only selectively applies to woman but doesn't apply the same reasoning to say men, christians or homosexuals.I look forward to Pros reply.

Open to all challengers! I will take the Pro side and therefore assume burden of proof. Debate will be 5 rounds, feel free to use sources throughout: Round 1: Definitions and Acceptance Round 2: Opening Arguments Round 3: Rebuttals Round 4: Responses Round 5: Closing Arguments Definitions: "Infantry" = any Military Occupational Specialty labeled as "Infantry" in the Army or Marine Corps whose stated primary task is to physically close with and destroy the enemy by means of fire and maneuver. "Special Forces" = direct action ground forces that fall under JSOC including: Navy SEALs, Green Berets, Marine Recon, Army Rangers, Delta Force, etc" this does NOT include various attachments such as Female Engagement Teams, Interpreters, etc" "Remain closed" = females are prohibited from trying out for or joining "Women" = if anyone wants to get scientific, we will use the International Olympic Committee definition of female: individuals recognized by law as female and having or only being sensitive to testosterone levels below the range naturally produced by men (1) I set argument length to 5,000 so let's try to keep rounds clear and concise. I hope to avoid emotional or personal offense - facts and logic rule the day! Finally, good luck and have fun. (1)http://www.olympic.org...
Playstation 3 is better than Xbox 360

My opponent has stated that Xbox Live as a whole is a better online service. Though a state of opinion, I believe Xbox Live and the Xbox dashboard after the recent update which not only made the Xbox dashboard more confusing to traverse, but also increased the price of Xbox Live. What Microsoft's thinking in this was is beyond me. With Xbox Silver (or Free as they call it now), you can't even play online or stream Netflix, you have to cough up $50 just to do the most basic of features that you would get for free with regular PSN. The only thing Microsoft has going for it is being the whore of the industry by swiping up all the Downloadable content before Sony and Nintendo get the chance. Not to mention stealing exclusives typically set for Sony like Final Fantasy and Metal Gear Solid (I still can't believe it!) Online services aside, the only thing Xbox has going for it in terms of exclusives is Halo and Gears of War. With Activision's acquisition of Bungie, anything that is set to release on the Xbox 360 will most likely come to the Playstation as well, leaving a huge dent in Microsoft's exclusives line. Sony is also gaining steam with it's Killzone franchise, LittleBigPlanet, and other titles down the line. Kinect and Move are all knock-offs in some shape or form, and I feel we can leave it at that. Price point has been a crippling factor of the Playstation 3, there is no doubt about that, but with the new and reduced Slim line, Sony has been able to compete with the new model of Xbox 360 at around $249.99. Therefore, the Playstation is the obvious choice in terms of pricing and exclusives.
Playstation 3 is better than Xbox 360

Since I was a small lad, my life has been videogames, thanks mainly to my brother. In the Christmas of '96, we picked up a Playstation 1 and I haven't looked back. I passed up Dreamcast for the Playstation 2 and scoffed at Gamecube and Xbox. Then I passed on the Xbox 360, despite the number of titles already out, in favor of the Playstation 3. Look at the facts: 1. The Playstation has free online, and Playstation Plus is the same price as Xbox Gold and you get free games and discounts, which add up to more savings. 2. Kinect is the same as Sony's Eye-Toy from the generation prior, and it is way over priced. 3. The Playstation has a very low failure rate (13% as opposed to 60%) 4. Playstation has built in WiFi (Xbox just got it) I could go on, but I need to save my points for later developments. Please join my debate.
The Lord's Supper as it is currently done today, is actually Satanic.

I ask my opponent who is they? Are you referring to the 43,000 Christian religions, who all preach a different Jesus, other than the one in the bible? http://en.wikipedia.org... Why would men add or change anything pertaining to God? Is it OK to eat food in a temple? Why move a room? When the Passover is meant to be taken at home? https://www.google.com... https://www.google.com... https://www.google.com...
The Lord's Supper as it is currently done today, is actually Satanic.

i have read the bible but i don't take it seriously. i believe it's a load of bull and i can provide some pretty good arguments as to why it is. but that is not the purpose of this debate. just because something is changed that does not make it satanic. something that is satanic worships satan. why call it the lord's supper if you are worshiping his enemy? makes no sense.
The Lord's Supper as it is currently done today, is actually Satanic.

I would agree with my opponent in his correct statement of Christians added crackers and brought that false ritual into the church forming a false tradition that ignores God's Passover making a ritual and a mockery of Christ on the cross. By mixing the High Holy Day and Passover week into a East'ar religion that eats swine and teaches little children to worship magic rabbits that lay eggs of many colors. Is one way Christianity is very Satanic! 1Co_11:17, Now in this that I declare unto you I praise you not, that ye come together not for the better, but for the worse. 1Co_11:18, For first of all, when ye come together in the church, I hear that there be divisions among you; and I partly believe it. 1Co_11:19, For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you. 1Co_11:20, When ye come together therefore into one place, this is not to eat the Lord's supper. Ever read a bible?
Yes and no are right and wrong.

If yes is right, and no is the opposite, would that make no left? Well, if no is left, and yes is the opposite, would that make yes stay? Well if yes is stay, and no is the opposite, wouldn't that make no move? Well if no is move, and yes is the opposite, wouldn't yes be stubborn? Well isn't stubbornness considered morally wrong? Well, if yes is stubborn, and stubborn is wrong, wouldn't that make no right?
Abortion

When a person in a family dies, the family griefs over their loved ones. When an innocent baby is killed purposefully the family"s connection will be affected. About 12% of women and 18% of men said that abortion affected their relationships. http://www.lifeissues.net... In another study, 41.7% of women and 30.9% of men were highly distressed three weeks after an abortion. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov... Even though many people think the men don"t feel any grief over an abortion. The men"s reactions to ta an abortions is guilt, depression, anxiety, feelings of voicelessness/powerlessness, repressed emotions, and anger among other negative reactions http://www.menandabortion.info... http://www.lifeissues.net...
Abortion

Women have abortions for many reasons. At the time they do have the abortion it might seem right. Some reasons why women abort is 1% of women got raped, 3% of women aborted because the fetus might be sick, and 3% of women abort because the mother"s health might be at risk or has health problems. Just because they aborted doesn"t mean the rape erases, cured the baby's health, or prevented health issues or fixing the ones the women already had. Instead of the abortion making them forget what happened they will remember more and 82% of women who had an abortion felt loneliness. http://www.johnstonsarchive.net... http://www.abortionno.org... http://afterabortion.org...
Abortion

The first and ninth amendments of the Us constitution clearly states that a US citizen has the right to all rights not listed in the constitution. This gives women the right to choose if they want an abortion or not. According to Lynne V. a health worker, most circumstance for women's choice of abortion is the cause of financial problems, living situations, and relationships. http://www.fwhc.org... Most women, about 83%, are unmarried and have had an unintended pregnancy. At the time and dealing with all the circumstances, the only way for most women to solve these problems are by abortions. http://prochoice.org...
Abortion

Having an abortion is against doctors' old and modern version of the Hippocratic Oath. The old oath states, " I will keep them from harm and injustice. I will neither give a deadly drug to anybody who asked for it, nor will I make a suggestion to this effect. Similarly I will not give to a woman an abortive remedy ". http://guides.library.jhu.edu... The modern version of the Hippocratic Oath , written by Luis Lasagna in 1964 states," still effectively forbids doctors from performing abortions in the line, "Above all, I must not play at God."". http://abortion.procon.org...
Abortion

Abortions in a lot of cases are necessary with a lot of mothers. About 50% of pregnancies are accidental or unwanted, and about 43 percent of them end up with abortions. This is due to the fact that the mothers are already struggling financially and caring for a baby would be too hard on them. About 64,000 mothers a year are affected by ectopic pregnancies. Ectopic pregnancies are when the "fetus develops outside of the uterus." In these situations, the mother's life is in danger and the pregnancy is not able to continue into birth. http://www.factcheck.org...
Abortion

Having an abortion is not easy and quick. The mother feels a whole lot of pain and there are major risks too. The baby to feels pain. At 20 weeks, a baby is fully capable of feeling pain. The baby actually feels more pain than an adult. http://wrtl.org... The risks women have after an abortion is having breast cancer and depression. A woman who has had an abortion, has a 50% chance of getting breast cancer than a woman who hasn't has an abortion.http://www.tfpstudentaction.org... Two out of three women who had an abortion 12 weeks (or more) into there pregnancy, will suffer from PTSD (Post traumatic stress disorder). They will have flashbacks, anxiety, and nightmares about the abortion. Also 34% of the women who had an abortion are likely to develop an anxiety disorder. http://healthresearchfunding.org... https://www.google.com...=
Abortion

Abortion SHOULD not be legal. To the U.S. government, an unborn baby is a human. The definition of murder is ," the crime of intentionally killing a person". http://dictionary.cambridge.org... A fetus has its first heartbeat is between 20 days and six weeks. http://www.newhealthguide.org... http://www.tfpstudentaction.org... This shows that an unborn human being is in fact living and having an abortion ends a life. Murder and abortion both end lives. This is why having an abortion is wrong. http://www.abortionno.org...
Regardless of whether the Mueller Report exonerated Trump he is still guilty

Im sorry if i offended you but you did admit that you are drunk when you write arguments. So im not wrong im just a bit blunt. Also have you reported backwardsman yet. Do you understand how complicated this process is? There are laws that prohibit some documents or part of documents to be released. Its very complicated. You can't just put out a top government report just like *poof* here it is. No it takes time. It will be released. There is no collusion or further indictments. Whats the matter with the Mueller Report, He basically charged people on parking tickets so he was desperate and he STILL couldn't find anything.
Regardless of whether the Mueller Report exonerated Trump he is still guilty

Persona attacks do not win debates and i am going to report that, You might think to apologize i can have you banned for that, You want that? So apologize, Now what does this old man know, I know the mueller report has yet to be released, What are they hiding? What is it they do not want us to see? And i make a super good point also mueller might have deliberelty been punking us, He might have thrwon the fight, Maybe he did waste money, If he was working for trump all along, I demand we do this all over again and get the proper results, This ISNT OVER, AND WE DEMAND TO SEE THE REPORT
marijuana should not be legalized

1. "Many researcher is disagreeing..." a. Appeal to authority. b. The only thing that article says is that the government is disallowing further research into the medical benefits of marijuana. It says nothing of legalization. 2. Causing crimes a. Punish them for the crimes - not for being under the influence of a substance. If I murder someone while under the influence of alcohol, I ought to be punished for my murder - not for ingesting alcohol. b. Anger and heartbreak can also lead to murders and suicides, and can commit acts that they otherwise wouldn't have. It's called a "crime of passion"; yet, we punish them for the crime, not the passion. 3. Bad things happen to people who smoke. a. There's no causal link between smoking marijuana and lower academic performance. Domestic abuse or academic apathy are equally plausible. Your assertions to the contrary are just that: assertions. b. Even if bad things were to happen, such as lower grades or being fired, that's the fault of the individual. An individual is sovereign over his own body, and has the freedom to make choices concerning that body. It's up to the individual to assess the risks and act accordingly. It isn't the government's job to protect people from themselves. 4. Marijuana use is increasing. a. Increasing use of a drug =/= addiction (or increase in addiction) to a drug b. That Science Daily article addresses the possible harms of smoking marijuana. It has nothing to do with the alleged addictiveness of marijuana, and the only thing it says about increase in use is that "As public attitudes toward marijuana change and legal restrictions ease in some countries, use of marijuana is increasing." That's not an argument for keeping it illegal. c. The statement about THC passing through your body also doesn't prove that it's addictive. That proves that you're going to get high. -BL- Pro has dodged most of my attacks, and continues to repeat his arguments ad nauseam as if repetition will make them truer. So far, I've clearly won.
marijuana should not be legalized

I know many researcher is disagreeing the marijuana should be legalized.http://query.nytimes.com.... Besides addictive drug about marijuana there is alot of discouragement. , marijuana could cause crimes because people who marijuana get high and don't know what they are doing. It could be murder or suicide and marijuana driving. People who do drug might do something that they didn't mean to do. Students or worker and school work and pregnancy. Students who do drugs get lower grades and less likely to graduate from high school. Workers have problems on the job increased absences, tardiness, accidents, workers compensation claims, and the job turn over, municipal workers found that employees who smoke marijuana on or off the job reported more "withdrawal behaviors" such as leaving without permission, daydreaming ,depression, anxiety personality disturbances are problems in daily life or make a person's existing problems worse. While person is driving with short- term memory loss, will most likely to increase accidents. More behavioral problems and to perform task of visual perception, language comprehension, sustained attention, and memory more poorly than non-exposed children do. In school, these children are more likely to exhibit deficits in decision- making skills, memory, and the ability to remain attentive. Im going back to addictive drug now. back in the past government only know about small facts about marijuana. marijuana drug users are increasing their use. http://www.sciencedaily.com... besides addictive drugs their is many evidence founded. when someone smokes marijuana, THC raipidly passes from the lungs into the bloodstream. which carries the chemical to organs throughout the body, including the brain. -BOTTOM LINE- con's has many reason to addressed. The source I used is http://www.treatment-center.com...
