The gender pay gap is nonexistent change my mind.

I'm assuming I should make an argument in R1 rather than just accept.To respond to the post, PRO provides two links both of which are two opinion pieces. The first is entirely lacking in evidence and so can be ignored. The second is largely based on the claims of Marty Nemko, a careers adviser with no qualifications in either economics or sociology (the two key social sciences relating to the gender wage gap) and who has released no scientific studies or evidence on the subject although has written books such as Cool Careers For Dummies. As a non-expert in the relevant field with no evidence to support his claims, the worth of the second article is therefore negligible.Now on to my arguments.1) All of his sources admit the wage gap exists, ergo the wage gap exists. They all provide rationales to explain why the wage gap exists but the subject is "The gender pay gap is nonexistent", not "The gender pay gap 100% exists but I shouldn't care about it as much because of X and Y".2) PRO's two sources are USA centric, a country which accounts for only a few percent of the world population. Do I even need to provide proof for the argument that across the world and especially in some of the most populous contries like India and China there are large and significant gender wage gaps or will Pro simply concede this point to me?3) The evidence consistently shows that even in western nations like the USA even when you try and control for all the factors that could influence the denger wage gap besides specification, it still doesn't account for the wage gap. For instance even when adjusting for numerous factors like age, hours worked, education etc female managers still earn 22 to 13% less than male managers depending on industry[1]. I'd like to hear PRO's excuse, for instance, for the rationale behind why orchestras constantly hired less women than they statistically should and blamed it on their lack of skill, but when blind auditions became the norm[2] so the hirers were judging just on the skill and couldn't judge on gender the amoutn of women hired shot up?4) A known flaw in the human capital model, the model which limits the size of the gender wage gap and which has been used by PRO and myself above, is that it makes assumptions that if part of the wage gap can be explained by X then it isn't due to discrimination. This is false reasioning [3]. We are not a gender neutral society. We cannot simply say "Oh, women choose to pick less dangerous occupations" when males are practically raised from birth to glorify action movies and violence (How many girls parents encouraged them to play soldier or bought them a toy gun? How many boy's parents did?). Saying that part of the wage gap is due to X, Y and Z does not show that X, Y and Z are not themselves rooted in sexist thinking.[1] https://www.jec.senate.gov...[2] http://public.econ.duke.edu...[3] https://link.springer.com...[4} https://link.springer.com...
The Thumb Is A Finger Like A Stupid Fatso Is Still A Human Being

You are a thumb arse. No, a thumb is a finger but it's called a thumb because of very small differences. That's the same between an atom and an ion, you flarbally goobly dunce. Your entire argument is based on human definitions, rather than asking yourself if these definitions are fair to the similarities of this Universe which contains self-design systems. Hence everything seems to be a mix between symmetry and chaos. Things seem to be inspired by old designs and everything that we do, think and say is based on old designs from all the things of the Universe, which is why we have an inner animal; inner machine; inner man and inner monster based entirely on distortion and stuff that make us do crazy things because the human mind is a conflict between so many designs of the Universe, it's absolutely magnificent considering that no man is one man - but many. Oh, and the thumb is a finger whether you want to wank off distinctions or not. You're the one that's colloquially illiterate. I am the one that can admire the beauty of self-similarity. Just look at the designs of the Universe - it's repeating its design in different shapes and scales you ejit. You are ignoring the Universe by wanking off something that is entirely man-made based on the mass opinion of monkeys wearing monocles.

This is a completely different situation then the atom/ion thing you were talking about. Let me re-clarify what I have said twice already, thumb and a finger are both digits, but a thumb is a thumb, and a finger is a finger. You haven't said anything to change my mind otherwise. Pro said: "You're talking to a genius." and "You're such a fool, I cannot even choose my gut over you." Your only true argument is that I'm a fool, and you're a genius. Even if this is a true, a fool with good evidence should win a debate over a genius with no evidence.
The Thumb Is A Finger Like A Stupid Fatso Is Still A Human Being

Did you forget the part where I explained that you are wrong - the people are wrong - because calling something different names has no relevance to the significance of similarities... The entire atom argument explains that calling it a thumb is stupid just like calling an atom that's charged an ion instead of atom+ or atom-. You're talking to a genius. I never, ever, ever, have trouble telling gender. On top of that, wearing something has no relevance to who you are. I'm not insulting you. It's the result of your actions. Learn the difference between insults and reflecting on what you really ard according to words in the bloody dictionary. And here you start acting self-righteous - it's funny is all I can say. You're such a fool, I cannot even choose my gut over you. You're just that explosively stupid (again, read the dictionary; I won't have to call you what you are otherwise).

You just furthered proved my point. A bee and an electron are similar, but they aren't the same, as an electron is an electron and a bee is a bee. It's the same way for the rest of your examples. A finger is a finger and a thumb is a thumb just as a bee is a bee and an electron is an electron. Thanks for giving me so many examples!Pro said this, and there is so many flaws with this: "Having a different bone structure does not remove the fact that it looks like a finger, it behaves like a finger, so it must be a finger."Let me give some examples. Let's say you met someone who likes gardening, cooking, and soap operas. Let's say that person also wears dresses and makeup. You'd think that they are a girl, but what if their gender is really male? With your logic, you'd say, "They are female because the act like a female usually acts, and they dress like a female usually dresses."Also, pro said this:"you're arguing with a genius that's had enough with human stupidity."Why don't you check out the "tips" section (http://www.debate.org...). I'm gonna quote from it straight from there: "However tempting it may be, always refrain from using personal or general insults. It is not only rude, but against the terms of service as well."I'm just gonna leave that as it is, as it's self explanitory.Pro said this as well: "You argued the joke I made for the thumb, as if this part of my argument was at all serious. Congratulations."Ok, let me remind you what you said in round one:"when you finger a girl you don't say 'thumbing'"I'm calmly proved that you can say thumbing. Even if you make jokes in your debate, you should keep truth throughout the debate. This is debate.org, and it isn't "let-me-make-jokes-so-i-can-get-the-voter's-attention.org". I have the right to take what you say seriously, and I can disprove you if you say something incorrect. I don't really have anything else to say in this round. Everything I said in round one is proof enough to this point.

Bees and electrons behave very similarly, but they slightly differ. The sun and stars behave very similarly, but they slightly differ. The penis and the vagina behave similarly, but they slightly differ. The thumb (misunderstood finger) and the fingers behave similarly, but they slightly differ. Most importantly, they all have different names, but people are colloquially illiterate therefore they make it hard to understand that appearances are hiding deeper truths behind similarities. A good example I created would be the "ion" and the "atom" whether it's negatively and positively charged. An "ion" is basically an atom that is positively or negatively charged. Instead of calling it "atom+" and "atom-" (they already had symbols for positive/negative), they called it an "ion" because they are colloquially illiterate and make language that much more complicated. Having a different bone structure does not remove the fact that it looks like a finger, it behaves like a finger, so it must be a finger. "like a finger" is the key words here. The Universe is based on a self-similarity design, so keep in mind that you're arguing with a genius that's had enough with human stupidity. You argued the joke I made for the thumb, as if this part of my argument was at all serious. Congratulations.

Ok, thanks for this debate! I assume round 1 is just to start the argument. As your argument was just all jumbled in one paragraph, I'm going to lay out your points and disprove each one. Before I do that, I must address certain points that you didn't mention.A thumb isn't doesn't have the correct bones to be a true finger.A thumb doesn't have an intermidiate phalange. The part of your finger that technically is your actual finger is the proximal through distal phalanges, and in order for it to be a true finger it must have all three (http://www.healthline.com...). Calling a thumb a finger is like calling an ape a human. Just because an ape has many similar characteristics to a human doesn't mean they are classified as the same thing. In the same way, just because thumbs have some of the necessary parts to be classified as a finger doesn't mean it is. It is missing the necessary intermidiate phalange. A thumb is considered a digit, however. That's just like how a human and an ape are both considered primates. The thumb is the odd one out of the digits.So we have declared that the thumb has a different bone structure than the other fingers, but the way it moves and it's role is also far different. It's commonly refered to as the odd one out as well (http://www.eorthopod.com...), as usually when talking about the hand scientists say "the four fingers and the thumb" or "the fingers and the thumb". That is an obvious sign for the thumb being the odd one out. Now I will take your points and reference them."It bends like a finger"Nope. This is not true. There is even specific facts to back this one up. A thumb has what's called a saddle joint, as a finger has what's called an ellipsoid joint. These joints are different, and they move in different ways. Therefore, the way a thumb bends is different than all the fingers(http://www.cea1.com...)."Fingering a girl"Technically, thumbing a girl is a phrase. The word thumb can be used as several different meanings. Both of these definitions are from this link: http://www.oxforddictionaries.com...as a noun:The short, thick first digit of the human hand, set lower and apart from the other four and opposable to them.as a verb: Press, move, or touch (something) with one’s thumb.Now let's look at the definition of finger. This is from this link: http://dictionary.reference.com.... The word finger has more uses than the word thumb, but the only two that are important here is the most common noun version and the most important verb version. as a noun:Any of the terminal members of the hand, especially one other thanthe thumb. as a verb: To touch with the fingers; toy or meddle with; handle. The verb definition of finger and thumb are pretty similar, and I think we can use the word thumb in the context you're using it with woman with no problems.So there you go, and since I placed my links throughout, I don't have a big list at the end, but I want to see what you think.

I only wish that you would have used sources and facts to make it more interesting. With this final round, I shall give my final argument that disproves that "The Thumb Is A Finger Like A Stupid Fatso Is Still A Human Being. " First off, pro said this: "Most people today are inspired by their farts over the facts, so I stand by my word play. " Where do I begin here? This is debate. org. It's a website where actually using facts helps you. Here's something straight from the tips section again (. http://www.debate.org...): "When citing facts, always remember to check their legitimacy and NEVER use false or made up facts. " You aren't using facts, and you aren't citing anything. I think that people on debate. org should be inspired in their debates by facts more than farts, and I think that speaks for most people here. Pro also said this: "The similarities with small differences should not mean they are different things, just functionally different. " Here is an example for you that will be sure to impress you. Humans, genetically, are 96% similar to Chimps after duplication (. http://genecuisine.blogspot.com...). Humans are not called chimps, but that is the most similar thing to humans. The most similar thing to a thumb is a finger, and the bone structure of a thumb only about 67% similar to a finger, as it has two out of the three phalanges needed to be a finger. If a human is 96% similar to a chimp and not a chimp, then a thumb shouldn't be a finger because it is merely 67% a finger. A human is about closer to a mouse than a thumb is to a finger, actually (. http://genecuisine.blogspot.com...). Therefore, these "small" differences mean a lot, and they should be taken for what they are. They are the defining things that separate a thumb from a finger. Thanks for the debate! Voters please vote fair!
The Thumb Is A Finger Like A Stupid Fatso Is Still A Human Being

Most people today are inspired by their farts over the facts, so I stand by my word play. Look at you being distracted like a cat. Just proving my point that you're a monkey that chases shiny objects. The thumb is a finger, whether you like it or not. Words are man-made. The similarities with small differences should not mean they are different things, just functionally different. IS that so hard to comprehend? Nah, it is. You're a thumb arse. Queen Elizabeth the Wanketh would like a word with you!
The Thumb Is A Finger Like A Stupid Fatso Is Still A Human Being

First off, pro said this: "You are a thumb arse." If I take that as an insult, then you should refer to the tips section (http://www.debate.org...). It specifically says this: "However tempting it may be, always refrain from using personal or general insults. It is not only rude, but against the terms of service as well." If I take that as a literal point in your argument, then it is very illogical. Thumbs don't have butts, and I'm using English and debating with you. A human butt can't even do that, and a thumb's non-existing butt certainly can't. Pro also called me a "flarbally goobly dunce" (without commas I might as well add), and it compelled me to find what those words actually mean. When I googled "flarbally", I got exactly one page where it was used (http://www.newspapers.com...). From the context of the usage, it was a typo, so flarbally isn't not a word. Next is the word "goobly", and it's not a real word either. Dunce is a real word, and it means a stupid person (http://www.merriam-webster.com...). That is also considered an insulted. Pro said this: "Your entire argument is based on human definitions". My argument is based on partly human definitions, but your argument is as well. Remember that we are debating this: "The Thumb Is A Finger Like A Stupid Fatso Is Still A Human Being". I don't even have to prove that a thumb shouldn't be called a finger, as I just have to disprove this simile. A simile is when you compare two things using like or as, by the way (http://dictionary.reference.com...). I have proved in earlier arguments that a better simile or metaphor for this situation is that calling a thumb a finger is like calling human an ape. Pro also said: "Oh, and the thumb is a finger whether you want to wank off distinctions or not." That is kind of gross, actually. Do you even know what wank means? It means masturbate. How do you know if I'm wanking off distinctions? That sounds like a gross thing to do, first off, and it is very uncalled for to bring that up. Please actually debate with me instead of insulting me and arguing about whether I use human definitions and stuff.
is the earth flat

You auto lost this debate if you said gravity doesn't exist. Definition of gravity. The force that attracts a body toward the center of the earth, Or toward any other physical body having mass. If gravity didn't exist, The oceans, Lakes and other bodies of water would bleed out into space and anything else attached to the ground would also float away, People, Animals, Cars etc. You auto lost this debate even more with your point about time. "the sun is a spotlight which only shines on one area"The sun shines all of earth as the earth rotates on it's axis. By your logic, You're saying the earth doesn't move. Also, The sun is many times bigger than the earth. The Sun. The Sun is 864, 400 miles (1, 391, 000 kilometers) across. This is about 109 times the diameter of Earth. The Sun weighs about 333, 000 times as much as Earth. It is so large that about 1, 300, 000 planet Earths can fit inside of it. (1)So with that in mind, The sun would most definitely shine the whole flat earth at the same time, Especially being that the (hypothetical) flat earth is one flat surface. You know how there's day and night? That's because the earth is round and it spins on it's axis. There is day in some parts of the world and night other parts in the world. That's because of time. Everyone has different time zones, Because the earth is round. Your points about seasons and the lunar eclipse - invalid. Other planets. The earth is a planet. Definition of earth. Earth is the third planet from the Sun and the only astronomical object known to harbor life. According to radiometric dating and other sources of evidence, Earth formed over 4. 5 billion years ago. Earth's gravity interacts with other objects in space, Especially the Sun and the Moon, Earth's only natural satellite. [Wikipedia]All of your sources are inadequate.

is the earth flat

Gravity- gravity doesn't exist, We stay on the earth because density. Also, , You can't walk all the way around, You'll hit the ice wall in antarctica. Time- the sun is a spotlight which only shines on one area, So not the whole flat earth is under the light at the same time. Seasons- the spotlight is 32 miles in diameter and only 700-300 miles away. When it's closer, It's summer. When it's farther away, It's winter. Lunar eclipse- Eclipses are caused by a celestial body orbiting the sun called the "shadow object". When it passes between the sun and the moon, We have an eclipse Other planets- the earth is not a planet. sources-https://www. Livescience. Com/63648-flat-earth-explanation-for-the-equinox. Html
Should Stores Be Open On Thanskgiving

Thanks for the topic, Con. To begin, I'd like to point out exactly what is being debated here. Neither side is arguing that 1) stores be forced to stay open or 2) that stores be forced to close. The word should in the resolution implies whether or not it would be most prudent for stores in general to stay open on Thanksgiving. The scale of this topic is obviously relative to the United States. This being established, my two contentions are: 1. Staying Open Benefits the Stores This first contention is fairly straightforward. If the store in question remains open during the holiday, it gains profit. If the store in question closes for the holiday, it loses profit. This establishes the benefit for remaining open during the holiday. For my opponent to succeed in proving the resolution, it must be proven that this benefit is outweighed by some higher benefit. I propose that this is not the case, because the stores benefit via my proposition and lose profit via my opponent's. 2. The Nature of Thanksgiving There is no intrinsic value in Thanksgiving. Individual's should always be grateful for the things that they have, and if my opponent feels that this can only be achieved by closing down stores, then it should surely occur more frequently then once annually. Additionally, my opponent adds that some people do not have anyone with which to spend the holiday. Closing stores has great potential to restrict this individual's options for recreation and informal social activity on the day in question and so could pose some harm to the well-being of the individual who faces some degree of isolation during the holiday. Overall, no overwhelming value has been presented to support my opponent's resolution.
Sex before marriage

What I have said prior to this question does indeed answer your question. However, I will re-answer the question. It is indeed a good question that is going to recieve a very harsh, but good answer. The truth is not always easy to listen to nor is doing the right thing (that leaves you with less heart break and no diseases) nevertheless, the right thing to do remains the right SAFE thing to do. If you are to young to marry then your to young to have sex. Plain and simple, yet a very hard task. There is always that chance that you will get/make someone pregnant and if your not ready to get married then your not ready to have kids and a family. So wait, and if your REALLY IN LOVE then both of you will be able to wait, because if you really love them you wouldn't want to mess up either of your lives with having sex... and receving the consequences (children) without being ready to get married muchless handle kids when you are one. Now refering back to your statement that "it is possible to break out of the habit of multiple sex partners if u truley love the one your marrying because you wouldnt want anyone else." This is true to an extent I agree that it is possible, BUT why put your self through all the heart break and emotional stress of having had sex with the wrong one. You do agree that it is a habit you will have to break. So why...why risk unessary dieases, additional emotional heart break from adding sex to a relationship and the chance of pregnancy? Don't just wait a little longer if you truly do love them.
