I purpose that fast food restaurants should supply school lunchs!

Welcome to DDO. This should be a fun debate. I must say, you have chosen a very difficult resolution for yourself. Let us begin. Rebuttal: Pro writes: "In my school, no one eats the school lunchs". He provides no evidence for this claim. I highly doubt that NO ONE eats lunch. :) Pro writes: "people can not even tell what kind of food they are" This is red herring, pardon the pun (That's actually pretty funny. LOL.) The fact that people can't tell what kind of food it is does not tell us what its quality is. Pro writes: " i think more kids would eat if, say, taco bell supplied our school with lunch" Pro gives no evidence for this claim. (K I know it's obvious, just sayin.) Furthermore Pro presumes that kids not eating lunch is a bad thing, without saying why. Lastly even if it is shown that kids don't eat it, & that it's a bad thing, that doesn't ipso facto mean that the school should switch to fast food. The most logical solution would be to simply improve the food. Reasons that schools should not serve fast food: 1) Fast food is unhealthy, & more specificly causes obesity[1] w8 is a problem in the U.S. More than one-third of U.S. adults (35.7%) are obese.[2] Over two-thirds of adults in the United States are overweight or obese, and over one-third are obese, according to data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2003"2006 and 2007"2008[3] The problem is getting worse: Between 1988"1994 and 2007"2008 the prevalence of obesity increased in adults at all income and education levels. [2] Being overw8 has negitive consequences: Obesity-related conditions include heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes and certain types of cancer[2][3], some of the leading causes of preventable death.[2] high LDL ("bad") cholesterol, hypertension, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, gallbladder disease, osteoarthritis (degeneration of cartilage and bone of joints), sleep apnea and other breathing problems, some forms of cancer (breast, colorectal, endometrial, and kidney), complications of pregnancy, menstrual irregularities[3] Fast food has been linked to w8 gain[4] Fast food is a health hazard[5] there"s evidence from studies in teens and adults that frequent fast-food consumption contributes to overeating and weight gain.[6] In 2008, medical costs associated with obesity were estimated at $147 billion; the medical costs for people who are obese were $1,429 higher than those of normal weight.[2] 2) Uncle Sam's in debt already, nuf said [1] Fast Food Nation.

The Biblical Flood account is historical

R1: AcceptanceR2: ArgumentsR3-R5: RebuttalsDefinitions:Historical: having once existed or lived in the real world, as opposed to being part of legend or fiction. The Biblical Flood account, that is, Noah and the Ark, is a reliable, historical account of a real event. I'll be arguing that it is fictional, and didn't happen.Failure to abide by the proposed round structure will result in forfeiture.
The Biblical Flood account is historical

In the comments I noticed before that you originally defined historical as "or distinguished from religious beliefs" if that is the case why can I not be correct?The Bible does tell the story of the flood regardless if it originated from so... It was not my intention to end this arguement in an escape hatch, but I told you that I just didn't feel a need to debate my topic anymore as I feel I made my point that the Biblical Flood account is most likely historical, than a fairy tail told to children.and finally I used to be agnostic becouse I was unsure of the Bible's account, but the evolutionary theory never sat right with me and the Bible's story of intelligent creation did, so I became a Christain, its not that one side has real facts... I have heard most of them and they boil down to faith as much as Christainity does... The Bibles story's are usally backed up by history without knowing if God really caused an event or not, while the alternitive believes that everything happened over millions of years and that an apes D.N.A code is 90% similer to ours when scientists know only 10% of the D.N.A coding is and what it does, please vote for my side as I made a better debate that the Biblical story is Historical-BurningCrit
The Biblical Flood account is historical

Thanks Pro, I’m disappointed the debate has to come to a close so prematurely. I don’t agree with the claim that I forfeit. I have brought up facts to build a case around my rebuttals. If anybody added arguments, it was you in the third round. It seems that instead of building a better case, Pro has decided that the argument was unfair and has quit. I remind you that in the opening round the debate clearly defined what I meant by historical: Historical: having once existed or lived in the real world, as opposed to being part of legend or fiction. In my pursuit of proving that the flood did not abide by the definition I clearly described, of course I used science and history, as those are the only tools I could possibly use to show that something existed in reality. The science proves that it is impossible and if it is impossible then it couldn’t have happened “in the real world”. Pro’s last point is that the Bible tells the story and therefore must be true. I pointed out the story isn’t even from the bible in the first place, so that point is rather useless. Just because something is in a book does not mean it must be true. This is the final escape hatch for the Creationist argument, and this is where most of my arguments with Creationists end up. It boils down to this: “I have made my mind up, and nothing you can say will make me change my mind.” At this point the nonsensical facts and ridiculous statements made by Creationism become faith-based, and therefore unreasonable, in a literal sense. Pro seems to think that he lost thanks to ‘sucking at science’. I’ll encourage you to look up facts for yourself. I once was a YE Creationist myself. Allow yourself to see the other side. Your science skills are probably similar to mine, the difference is that my side of the debate has real facts, and your side does not. Read what evolutionary theory is for yourself. Don’t let people only give you one side of the story. Thanks.
The Biblical Flood account is historical

I would like to just rebuttal in one way...my debate is humerous I can accept that but I can also refute there is no way you have won in an attempt to refute me you have also brought entirely different arguements to the table and therefor forfeit the match unless otherwise specified... I have to admit if I am wrong you have won the debate, and are entirely better debater but my debate was whether the Biblical Flood is Historical not whether or not it is possible to put thousands or mybye millions into an ark "guided by God" my debate was not scientific, and you knew that coming in that if I could bring up a way the story might be possible you would bring in science (which I suck at) I rebuttal now that the Bible tells the story of the Biblical Flood and therefor must also be true, becouse you specified in the rules no new debates can be brought up, you cannot refute the Bible's authenticity in this Debate... Which makes my account historicalSincerely, BurningCrt
The Biblical Flood account is historical

Okay, you have given quite an argument but fancy word play doesn't scare me in the slightest and I am glad you put some research into this topic :) but I might disappoint you because I never use "escape hatch(s)" (#CONSAYS2015). Here is my opening argument, ( I will not rebuttal yours quite yet, even though I itch with anticipation.) I will keep it simple... Scientific, Historical/Cultural evidence back up my belief(s). 1. Scientific- Polystyrene Fossils-other fossils "They are often in the form of fossil trees that were buried upright and which often cross multiple layers of strata such as sandstone, shale, limestone and even coal beds. 1,2,3,4 They range in size from small rootlets to trees over 80 feet long. Sometimes they are oblique (or at an angle to) the surrounding strata, but more often they are perpendicular with (or standing 'upright' in) it" (Scientific Evidence for a Worldwide Flood). Polystrate fossils are also missing their rootlets. The word "stigmaria" (roots) got its name: i.e. because of the scar marks left behind from the broken off (and now missing) rootlets, and these roots are all found in completely different places from their original spots of growth. This shows conclusive evidence that these trees were suddenly ripped out of the ground and transported somewere different from their original sprouting place. "Fossils don't form on lake bottoms today, nor are they found forming on the bottom of the sea. Instead, they normally only form when a plant or animal is buried soon after it dies. Therefore, the fossils themselves are evidence of a catastrophe such as a flood or volcanic eruption that took place in the past. Rapid Petrification of Wood" (ICR). 2) Historical/Cultural evidence You said in your expaination of the date and even title that you want to disprove the earth was given a great flood "historically" well I have to let you know even if I lose based on words I have already won and here is why... THE FLOOD IS HISTORICAL... whether you like it or not nearly every civilization has had a flood story!!! which doesn't always involve a 'Noah' but usally involves a man building a boat that saves mankind from extinction. http://www.talkorigins.org... http://www.earthage.org... I can't say that any of these 'flood' stories have actually occured but it is kind of a BIG COICEIDENCE if not and only makes the Biblical Flood Story more friendly...

I am the CEO of Gorkan Programming. Hecticcownation is the Lead Programmer. Your vote will be determining the future of the game console. So please vote wisely. He just admitted that there would be one or two 3d games. Not including 3rd parties. That means there has to be two joystics in order for it to be possible. Therefore, there need to be two joysticks. Point won by the CEO. The reason that I have two bumper on the bottom us ease of access. You just need to press your ring finger down and you have clicked it. Instead of having to move your pointer finger. The triggers are in the same location as on the 360 controller. Lets see what games could use that layout. Any fighting game, and any game that requires two buttons to pressed at once. As you can see my design is radical, it has ideas that have never been tried before. So what if the bumpers are on the bottom of the controller. It will be easier to press once you remember that they are there. The separated buttons will allow two buttons to be pressed at once. This will allow for special moves in the fighting game we will do. I must ask you not to vote for me just because I am awesome or that I am the CEO of the company and I have more authority. Just vote based on the quality of our arguments. Vote for Walle Ras willing to break gaming norms.

CEO of Gorkan Software VS Lead Programmer of Grokan Software Our team at Gorkan Software are working on developing a console. Here is a link to one of our game blogs. We have both posted there and it will be our main launch title. http://futuristicfourthgame.weebly.com... We have run into a problem early on, what will our controller be? We have decided to ask our fellow gamers to help us out as we try to settle on a design for our console's controller. I personally want a SNES type controller. But before I pour dirt on my CEO, (which I will.) let me explain why I think that an SNES inspired controller would the best fit for our system. Most of the games for our system will be either 8-bit, 16-bit or 32-bit graphics. As you may have guessed, our controller will not need a joystick. Here is my idea of the perfect controller for this system. A Controller with Four Buttons. A B X Y on the front of the controller A Directional pad. on the front of the controller Two Bumpers. on the top of the controller A START Button. on the front of the controller That is all. As my my CEO, Walle Ras of Gorkan Software His envisionment of the perfect controller is: Two Joysticks. on the front of the controller Two Bumpers. on the bottom of the controller Two Triggers. on the top of the controller Two Buttons. on the left side of the controller Two Buttons. on the right side of the controller WHY?!?!? JUST WHY?? At least have all four buttons at the same location... splitting the four buttons into groups of 2 is a terrible idea! The controller will be too hard to navigate.. What game could possibly use that layout?? AND JOYSTICKS?!?!? FOR WHAT??? Most of our games will be 2D except for like 1 or 2?!?!? okay, okay... I need to calm down... but bumpers, ON THE BOTTOM OF THE CONTROLLER?!?!? WHY!?!? That is all I have to say about his design... I want to see how he will counter this. Thanks for reading this, ladies and gentlemen, thank you.

Yes, my good colleague and superior. The issue of our controller is almost solved, with two of our many arguments of design left, I feel and hope we can come to an agreement sooner rather than later. As for the buttons, I fear our players will find their placement, according to your design, to be rather confusing, especially in a 2d plat-former or an RPG. I can see their use in a fighting game, but that specific placement hasn't been done in about 20 years, and I find it outdated. I may have a solution, if we were only to have two buttons on the right side of the face of the controller, I think it would make more sense. Here are your options according to our different visualizations: Have two buttons, such as the NES controller or have four buttons (all together) such as the SNES and literally every other gaming console since. Also, I am NOT female. If I was, (not meaning this in any stereotypical way) I don't think I would be so n board with making a gaming console. My name is not Patrick and why are you calling me Patricia? Is it supposed to be an insult? If so, you have sorely failed to offend me. In fact, when you say that, I say to myself how stupid you must be to stoop to such a level of petty name-calling. Oh, and for the record, my name, if I had been born female, would have been Isabella, so, if anything (because you find gender-bending hilarious) call me Bella you psychopath. When I stated that gamers would not get used to the positioning of the bumper on the controller, I was using myself as an example. I have always played Xbox or the Nintendo console/handheld of the time. So the Dual-shock controller is one I could never get used to. I have played a PS3 before and find the controller hard to use and very dis-functional. This may not be true to you, but is very much so to me. Please understand where I'm coming from when you bombard me with something I can't relate with. Also, why do you treat this as an election? It's not a contest, merely a debate between two friends about trivial information. Also, a word of advise, use spell checker. You have spelled so many words incorrectly that it makes it look you don't know how to spell.

So we have compromised on several points. So now the debate is on whether the buttons should be split, and the placement of the bumpers. He has not given one reason besides that it is stupid, why split buttons are a bad idea. Patricia has also only given one answer to the question of the bumpers. And that is that other gamers wouldn't be able to instinctively memories the layout. He also says that PS4 players have trouble memorizing the Xbox and vice-versa. I started my console gaming career with the PS2 and the dual shock controller. I consider that layout superior to the Xbox layout. I have instinctively memorized both controllers. Therefore, you can instinctively memorize the second layout. So vote for me, Walle Ras

The DS only used the touch screen for menus and subscreens. Your point? I never wanted a touch screen. The wii u in nintendo's not ours. Also, since the SNES popularized the D-pad we should NOT use it?!? Why bloody not?!? Your logic there makes no sense. Also, I'm terribly sorry about round 2 and I hope you do forgive me. I did however admit that I raged mid point if it makes you feel any better. Also, what in the bloody **** is a "coin it up?" Is an arcade or something? I'm ticking YOU off? Welcome to my life trying to compromise with you. (I thought you bloody well deserved that but I'm sorry if I offended you.) shred me? Really? That's the best you could come up with? Really? You sure about that one? Ok then. Challenge accepted. Whoever beats NES SuperMario Bros. 1-1 faster, wins. And, I'll record it and post a link next round. You in?
Controller Design for the Gorkan8 or G8 Game System. Original or Funtional.

Let me star by saying you lost conduct. The DS has a touch screen which assisted greatly in the fps department. If you want a touch screen for the console then your argument is applicable, but sense that would mean we were making a wii U then you need to bring up other games. It is not unacceptable. You have not done much of a refutation except for ALL CAPS. next round say that I have instinctively memorized the 360 controller because you know I have. SNES popularized the D pad. Lets clone it. What a great idea! No that is not a great idea. Mortal Combat 4 at coin it up does. You are really ticking me off here Ok that's it I am going to shred you next time we play a video game! You know I am the better player at nearly all of them!
Controller Design for the Gorkan8 or G8 Game System. Original or Funtional.

CEO of Gorkan Software VS Lead Programmer of Gorkan Software I did admit that there will be ONE OR TWO 3D GAMES. That DOES NOT mean our ENTIRE LINEUP of games. Also, while I'm at it, I might as well add that there does not have to be TWO JOYSTICKS but instead, ONE. Look at the Nintendo 3DS. It has a D-Pad, Four Buttons, Two Bumpers, and One Joytstick, not Two, ONE. Eat on that, Walle Ras. Also, the Nintendo 3DS has shooters. It has Call of Duty Games. Even the original DS had Call of Duty Games. So, there. Joysticks debunked. Ha, nice try, in fact, you almost stumped me with that one. "The reason that I have two bumpers on the bottom is ease of access. You just need to press your ring finger down and you have clicked it. Instead of having to move your pointer finger." What kind of half-baked idea is THAT?!?!? (I'm sorry guys, I really tried not to rage here, BUT THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!!) What you describe as you answer makes no sense! That's not even a "problem" with controller design! I can see myself reaching, trying to find the bumper with my finger. I'm sorry, but to ANYONE who has already PLAYED WITH ANY CONTROLLER is going to press the trigger area INSTINCTUALY unless they HAVE NEVER used a controller before in their lives. Basically, 4-yr. olds who has never touched a video game controller in their lives will be the only ones to INSTINCTUALY MEMORIZE this layout. It's like the Sony PlayStation Controller, their controller's joysticks are in a completely different location THAN ANY OTHER CONTROLLER. An Xbox/Nintendo player will never get used to it. Bumpers have been around since the SNES. The reason that I am glorifying the SNES here is because: 1. I'm a Nintendo Fanboy, 2. The SNES gamepad popularized the layout used by most modern gamepads. So Ha! Eat that! I never said that you triggers where different, you must have misunderstood. 1. NO FIGHTING GAME I CAN THINK OF USES JOYSTICKS AND TWO SEPARATE BUTTONS ON THE CONTROLLER!!! WHAT GAME ARE YOU REFERENCING HERE?? I WOULD LIKE VERY MUCH TO KNOW. 2. ONCE AGAIN I CAN THINK OF NO GAMES THAT REQUIRE TWO BUTTONS TO BE PRESSED AT THE SAME TIME. (unless you're trying to glitch out a game, as which that is a common step.) It's not a RADICAL design (what, are trying to appeal to kids from the '90s or something?) It's a STUPID DESIGN THAT MAKES NO SENSE!!!! Oh yeah, it has never been tried before huh? THAT'S BECAUSE ANYONE SMART ENOUGH TO REALIZE THAT IT'S A TERRIBLE DESIGN NEVER GAVE THE GREEN FLAG FOR IT TO BE MADE!!!! "So what if the bumpers are on the bottom of the controller. It will be easier to press once you remember that they are there." Three words. No. They. Won't. "The separated buttons will allow two buttons to be pressed at once. This will allow for special moves in the fighting game we will do." WE? WE?!?!? If you keep this controller design, I'M OUT OF HERE. Sorry pal, HOPE YOU LIKE GOING SOLO!!! "Vote for Walle Ras willing to break gaming norms." What? Really? I THINK THE ONLY THING YOU'LL BE BREAKING IS YOU PARTNERSHIP WITH ME, you know, THE DEVELOPER!?!?!?!
Lies about Muhammad (pbuh)

Yes, indeed Muammad has beaten, raped, and enslaved women and children. He molested 1 of his many wives and that 1 wife was only 9. The litte girl is known as Baby Aisha. Aisha's main job was to clean out semen stains out of Muhammads clothing. Which is such a vile, disgusting, swine-like thing a child can encounter. Muhammad sexually harassed baby Aisha as young as 6 years old, by touching her in innappropiate ways, and taking baths with her. He did not rape her until she was 9. He raped a mentally challenged woman. He had sex with his aunt. (Whether is was consentual or not is unknown). He had 11 wives. Sexually assaulted them, even the during wive's menstruation. (Once again, disgusting and proves that he was nothing but a sexist pervert). He had sex with 61 women, total. Most of them he raped and most of them were his sex slaves. Beat children who didn't pray. Disliked people who did not worship the Islam religion. Beat his wives, including baby Aisha. Islam's Mistreament of Women (Verses) Quranic verse 4:34: "Allah has made men superior to women because men spend their wealth to support them. Therefore, virtuous women are obedient, and they are to guard their unseen parts as Allah has guarded them. As for women whom you fear will rebel, admonish them first, and then send them to a separate bed, and then BEAT them. But if they are obedient after that, then do nothing further; surely Allah is exalted and great!" Quran 4:11 states: " A male should receive a share equal to that of two females." 2:282 states "It should also be known that a woman's testimony is worth half that of a man.""If the penalty is stoning, they are to be stoned, no matter the weather, or if they are ill. A pregnant woman is not stoned until she gives birth and the child does not need to nurse." (Verse unknown, but it is in the Quaran) Muhammed said:"The marriage vow most rightly expected to be obeyed is the husband's right to enjoy the wife's vagina."Claiming that a woman's only worth is her vagina. Which not only is it objectifying a woman sexually, but it is degrading her. Sources: http://www.familysecuritymatters.org...https://themuslimissue.wordpress.com...
Should abortion be allowed

That is the thing, its not only with our own selves, you are also affecting a life that would have been born except you stopped that from happening. Now I am telling you straight out, abortion is murder, the killing of an innocent being is wrong, unborn or not. Second, majority of the time, if the fetus is developed enough, the fetus does feel pain which is dishonorable in itself. Abortions also cause psychological advantage to the women.
