Bruce Wayne is smarter than Tony Stark

I look forward to having a great time. =========================================================================Tony and Bruce both have Genius-Level Intellect. But, while Tony didn't persue to do much with his intellect other than a few select fields, Bruce did learn a lot of thingsYou see, while Tony is the best in the world when it comes to Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Hacking, Physics, Chemistry, and other Technolgical/Engineering fields, he is not very useful anywhere else. In this round, i'll be laying out a lot of facts. It may seem like i'm just rambling, but the list of Bruce's feats is just really long. It's quite impressive what he's been able to do. Here we go:Bruce is a brilliant detective, strategist, scientist, tactician and commander. He has one of the keenest minds in the DC Universe, and uses his brain rather than brawn to outsmart his foes. Bruce is a Polymath (a person of wide-ranging knowledge or learning), and as such, has obtained a insane number of degrees, along with having a LOT of other feats. Here's the list [1]:He has studied Biology, Technology, Mathematics, Physics, Mythology, Geography and History. Gained degrees in Criminal Science, Forensic Sciences, Computer Sciences, Chemistry and Engineering by the time he was 21. He has mastered Diverse Environmental Training, Security Systems, and illusion/sleight of hand by the time he was 23. He gained even more degrees in Biology, Physics, Advanced Chemistry, and Technology by the time he was 25. He had learned Forensic Sciences, Medical Sciences, Expanded Computer and Engineering Sciences, and Expanded Device Pool use of personal powered armor and system, database creation on underworld crime bosses, rogue's gallery foes and other supervillains; improved material sciences for body armor and micro-machinery by the time he was 26. Has also learned Advanced New Development in Forensic and Medical Sciences. He also has Eidetic Memory(meaning he has total recall, in the sense that he can remember ANYTHING that has happened in his life with great detail)I mentioned that he was a detective earlier, but he is often considered the world's greatest detectiveHe is able to speak Spanish, French, Latin, German, Japanese, English, Russian, Cantonese, Mandarin, Greek, Portuguese, Arabic, Sanskrit, Hindi, Thai and even Kryptonian! !Bruce Wayne has extensive skills and experience in business management, has thorough understanding of financial marketing and management and is often known as a example of successful industrialist and businessman on par to Lex Luthor. ============================================================================I await my opponent's response.

Bruce Wayne is smarter than Tony Stark

Hello DDO! This is my first debate on this website, and I'm very excited =)I think that Bruce Wayne is smarter than Tony Stark. Note that we are talking about the Comics here, and not the Movie Franchises (if we go off of the movies, It's obvious who the winner is). Burden of Proof is shared; I have to prove Bruce is smarter, my opponent has to prove Tony is smarter.R1: AcceptanceR2: ArgumentsR3: RebuttalsR4: More Rebuttals/Conclusions=====================================================72 hours for each argument.10,000 Characters.4 Rounds.I hope to have a fun experience!
The position of naturalism stands on much firmer evidence then that of supernaturalism.

As pro I will argue that naturalism is backed up by much more evidence then supernaturalism. Con would either argue that supernaturalism is superior, or that neither conclusion is backed up by sufficient evidence.

Lincoln is better than Obama

"Obama didn't kill Osama"He gave the order to do so when he could have chosen not to (according to Zero Dark Thirty and a ton of reports on the history channel) so he kinda can claim that he did kill Osama. Had Bush or another republican been president when Osama was killed you can bet that their entire re-election campaign would focus on the fact that they killed Osama.... "Your for slavery"I said im 50/50 on it...."That's something that our sixteenth president got rid of."But he chose to not get rid of it in slave states that were under his control, as I have shown earlier. "You want to bring it back because you're to cheap to pay for the labor you are too lazy to do the work yourself."I only said im 50-50 on slavery Pro! My god your conduct is horrendous...."You have a good point with the background checks, but Obama doesn't want that."He kinda does:http://news.yahoo.com...http://www.theblaze.com...http://www.foxnews.com...http://www.reuters.com...http://www.cnn.com...http://www.huffingtonpost.com...http://www.breitbart.com...Extend all dropped arguments about Lincoln blatantly violating several Constitutional Rights, causing a Civil War, being pretty racist, etc etc
Lincoln is better than Obama

Ok. I agree. Osoma has been killed, the war is over. However, Obama didn't kill Osama. Obama, tries to take the credit the death of Osoma. Your for slavery. That's something that our sixteenth president got rid of. You want to bring it back because you're to cheap to pay for the labor you are too lazy to do the work yourself. President Lincoln along with several others tried to get slavery banished. (by the way, wikipedia is a crappy source. It's not the full truth if it's the truth at all.) You have a good point with the background checks, but Obama doesn't want that. And besides, thats not going to do a dang thing with this school shooting. They're parents could have a clean record but the kids that take the gun to school to shoot because of bullying, depression, etc. They could get a hold of it. Someone with a clean record could walk into a Capella's and buy a gun turn around and shoot at someone. That's not going to stop it! Someone could buy a gun for someone with a unclean record. Again, that will not stop a dang thing!
Lincoln is better than Obama

"President Obama has tried to convince Congress to take away gun rights."Its not agreed though that what Obama would like to do infringes on gun rights though. There are valid arguments from those who support background checks, an assault weapons ban, magazine limits, etc that such measures do not curtail the 2nd amendment to an unnecessary degree. "He's also wanting to write a new Constitution"Ok thats just bullsh*t, theres no evidence of that at all"He says; "It's out of date." "Evidence? Assuming he did he most likely wasnt referring to the entire thing either. "Are you for slavery?"Im 50/50 on it"President Lincoln tried his best to demolish slavery in our nation. He succeeded." Not entirely:https://en.wikipedia.org..."The Proclamation did not apply to the five slave states that were not in rebellion, nor to most regions already controlled by the Union army"Lincoln outlawed slavery in regions he did not have any control over and decided to not outlaw slavery in regions that he did have under his control.... Which I dont think counts as him trying his best to demolish slavery."What amazing things has Obama done? That's right, nothing."Amazing is subjective but there are a couple commendable things that have happened while Obama was president: - Weve had some healthcare reform which is something that never happens in Congress - We took out Osama - Our economy is slowly healing itself - Im pretty sure hes the first president to come out in favor of Gay Marriage - The War in Iraq is over - Ended 'Dont Ask Dont Tell" - Stopped the use of tortureEven though this site is dominated by conservative hacks who would never admit it, Obama has done some things that are worthy of commending.Extend all arguments about how Lincoln suspended the Writ of Habues Corpus, triggered a Civil War just by being elected, Lincoln believing that blacks and hwites shouldnt have equal rights, inspiring a terrible movie 'Abe Lincoln, Vampire Hunter', etc etc
Lincoln is better than Obama

President Obama has tried to convince Congress to take away gun rights. He has gone many places to try to convince people to help him. He's also wanting to write a new Constitution. He says; "It's out of date." Which it was made a long time ago, but it still holds our nations rights. Are you for slavery? President Lincoln tried his best to demolish slavery in our nation. He succeed. What amazing things has Obama done? That's right, nothing.
Lincoln is better than Obama

"I'm sure some people would say that President Obama is the best president in history."And i think everyone can agree that those people shouldnt be allowed to vote. "Lincoln: For Constitution, Protecting Rights"Well thats kind of not entirely true.... There are many people who believe that the Southern States did have the right to secede from the Union if they felt they were being abused, and while there is no universally agreed answer to whether or not they did or didnt have the right to secede, if they did then Lincoln most certainly trampled that right and would be against the Constitution. Lincoln also kind of has a bad history with Habues Corpus (Right to know what you are being accused of upon being jailed) http://www.history.com...^ That is a clear violation of Constitutional and trampling of people's rights..... Hell if Bush or Carter tried to pull that they probably would have faced impeachment... "Obama: Against what our country was set up on, the Constitution, Wanting to ban Gun Rights"Now youre going to have to clarify how Obama is against the Constitution (good luck with that) but I can certainly say that Obama does not want to ban gun rights..... Obama doesnt want to ban all guns and believes people have the right to own pistols, hunting rifles, shotguns, etc. He just would prefer that there be some limitations on some of the more powerful and deadly guns and also believes that background checks should be expanded and that clip size limits should be implemented. He is pro gun control but he is most certainly not for the BANNING of gun rights. =================================================================Things that might show how Obama was a tad (emphasis on tad) bit better then Lincoln:1) Lincoln did not think blacks and whites should be equal politically: http://www.history.com...(See number 2 for his actual words, its kinda freaky really)2) Lincoln did technically trigger a Civil War with his election and cause numerous states to secede, Obama did not3) Lincoln inspired 'Abe Lincoln, Vampire Hunter' which was a horrendous movie, Obama hasnt inspired a bad film as of today4) Obama did wonders in getting young people to vote in elections more then Lincoln did.... young voters increased by 3 million which was a 10% increase from 2004http://www.rockthevote.com...Thats all I got for now
Contemporary Christian music is UnBiblical

It seems Con has decided to judge me. I sincerely hope and pray that he finds it in his heart to ask forgiveness. Christ has saved me and showed me the way to salvation, I hope Christ opens up the same light to my adversary. Claiming someone is not a christian is very hurtful. This makes me sad It was a good debate but as it stands I have the only contentions and my adversary refused to debate.
Contemporary Christian music is UnBiblical

I am sorry my adversary refused to accept the fact that I love God. I accept his concession. It seems as if God himself has intervened in this debate. For the purpose of this debate I will make one contention and leave it at that for good faith. God would want me to do so. Resolution - Contemporary Christian music is UnBiblicalContemporary - Effected by the present period of time in which we exist [1] Un - A prefix meaning not [2]Biblical - Related to the bible [3]Contention 1Something modern cannot be biblical. Let us first review some modern Christian music. http://www.youtube.com...See youtube videoNow logically something that is in the modern area is not of the bible. The bible was written centuries ago, so something that is post modern would not be found in it. ConclusionThe bible is un(not) Biblical(of the bible)Therefore modern music is not of or in the bibleI would like to thank pro his kind concession. I would also like to thank God for guiding me to this debate. In spirtus sancti[1] http://www.merriam-webster.com...[2] http://dictionary.reference.com...-[3] http://www.merriam-webster.com...
Contemporary Christian music is UnBiblical

I was saved last night. In my sleep, God came to me and I repented of my sins. My fiance can verify this. I am qualified to accept this. A Christian is merely someone whom accepts Christ as his/her savior. I accept Christ as my savior , after last night I bow to him and only him. He is my King. Hallelujahs in the name of Christ my lord and savior. He came to me and my sleep and talked to me, I have been asking for proof of his existence for my entire life and he finally gave it to me. He really does exist!!!I frankly find it offensive my adversary has taken it upon himself to judge me and claim that I am not a Christian. That is not very christian like, and is also unbiblical (Just like Contemporary Christian Music). Luke 6:37 - Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven: [1]My adversary could be a Calvinist and claiming that God has possibly made me null to salvation, but that is for another debate. Since my adversary has spent his first round on a wasted statement and provided no reason to support the resolution we can agree that even he has conceded this to me. After accepting this debate God probably spoke to him, like he did me and made him aware that contemporary christian music is unbiblical. VOTE PROBack to ConI advise he not waste a round this time.

Contemporary Christian music is UnBiblical

Ok, so here's me, a 16-year-old Jesus Freak with a taste for hardcore and metal musically, but a taste for positive and Christian lyrics as well. Solution: Christian metal! I also enjoy softer stuff by Tenth Avenue North, Casting Crowns, etc. Unfortunately, I get judged. A lot. So I'm here to discuss CCM with a Christian who believes it is wrong. This will be a less-than-formal debate. The only allowed outside source is the Bible and personal experience. Again, to accept this debate please: 1. Be a Christian. 2. Be against most-all forms of CCM. 3. Be willing to actually debate and not rant.
Men shouldn't forbid working their wives.

Well, thank you, Marina, for your opinion. Actually, this issue is rather relevant. Nowadays women try to be independent, that is why sometimes they try to show it by working. But I strongly believe, that it is better to be at home with your house work. First of all, I want to point on a family. If you have children, it is very magnificent to spend a lot of time with them. Many scientists agree with this suggestion. You should be very careful parent, because usually we do not see our mistakes in bringing up the children. But, if there is a job, you should also pay attention on it, by doing different projects and so on. It means that your children will have lack of time, which they spend with you. It can cause the gaps in generations. Secondly, house work is very important and nobody will do it. Moving onto the third point, I want to say about self-study. There are a lot of spheres, there you can improve or even develop your skills, by reading books, searching information in the Internet or taking courses. In conclusion, I want to add, that work is also good and I agree with you words. But women's destination is "protecting the fireplace at home".
gay marriage

I ask the voter to at least take off the conduct point of my opponent due to their forfeiture.Religious argumentsAlthough this is true, I don't see as how this is upholding your part of the BoP. It may be true that people don't want the legalization of gay marriage due to religious reasons, this is not a valid point in your own constructive case. UDHRI think that life is a bigger universal right than a piece of paper right. Life has limitless oppurtunities to change the world, maybe the next person will be the person that finds the cure for cancer or develops the greenest energy possible. However, the benefits of this piece of paper taking effect is "equal love", where the love is not actually equal and instead harms lives.Saving LivesWhen it is more likely that a child will commit suicide due to their parents, I don't think that we should take the risk of a few children being saved. They can live with a nuclear family that will adopt them or they can live in an orphanage that the needs that the children want. Orphanages are not by any means an unpractical place for a child to live. If they were, we wouldn't have them.
gay marriage

As a reminder, my arguments are: there is no real argument against gay marriage, humans deserve equal rights, and gay marriage actually helps children. First, many of the arguments against gay marriage are based on religion. These are acceptable as arguments, but not as laws. I would like to point out that the American government stresses separation of church and state and, therefore, banning actions based on religion turns our government into a theocracy. Second, marriage is listed in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights as a universal right. The main arguments against that are 1) the US never signed the UDHR and 2) marriage is specified between a man and a woman. First, while it is true that the UDHR was not signed by Americans, it was made partially by Americans; therefore, we can conclude that the government leaders who made it agreed to it as a good set of rules for America. Second, the UDHR only states that "Men and women of full age... can marry." It never says they have to marry each other. Third, gay marriage saves children's lives. Adopted children have their lives improved by adoption. Gay parents are better than no parents. Also, gay couples can not have unwanted children, because they can't procreate. Unwanted children are more likely to become criminals. Therefore, gay marriage is good.
Conservatives Are Not Crazy Or Terrorists

I keep hearing people all over the internet calling conservatives crazy, terrorists, Nazis, Fascists, Racists, etc. I have even heard people ignorantly compare them to ISIS. I would like to debate with someone to get an understanding of why someone feels the need to use such strong criticism for someone who's beliefs are in most ways reasonable. I think it is very ignorant to call a conservative this, and is exactly the same thing as a conservative calling liberals stupid and socialist. Both sides have reasonable beliefs although I am more right-leaning towards things. However, I think the names being thrown at conservatives are a lot more extreme than those against liberals. Calling someone a terrorist is a serious accusation anyway you put it. Especially when someone has shown no intention or indication of committing terrorist actions. Conservatives believe in self-efficiency where someone should have to earn their success and wealth through hard-work and perseverance. They don't believe in giving things to someone who has not earned it. They take pride in our nation's troops who many of them give their lives for this country. They believe in a small Federal government that rarely intervenes in public affairs. They are pro-religion, pro-speech, and pro-guns because they believe those are their constitutional rights. They are anti-abortion because they believe a human being is dying in the process of the abortion. They believe if a person comes to this country illegally they need to be deported because they broke the law and that it is not fair to people who came to this country legally to have someone get to have the same opportunities as them despite the fact they came here illegally.They believe a criminal who has committed first-degree murder should be put to death because they took the life of another human being. I disagree with them on some things such as anti-gay laws, against marijuana legalization, medical euthanizing of humans at their request, and the abolition of the IRS. However, none of these beliefs suggest that they have the intention of committing terrorism nor are these terrorist beliefs.
It is irrational to believe that the Christian God exists.

I accept.Also, I offer for voters' consideration the following structural annotations:1. By accepting the traditional omni-God, I assume that my time won't be wasted by low-level trolling (e.g., "If God is all-loving, then how does X bad thing happen?!")2. I'm not trying to debate biblical inerrancy--I consider the ontological status of God to be an external issue, and want the debate to stay focused on this for volumetric reasons.3. In terms of the definition of "irrational", I want to note that "normal mental clarity" and "sound judgment" are somewhat arbitrary criteria, because it's difficult to discern necessary conditions for "unsoundness"; plenty of people think that theists are crazy, but that's not something we have the luxury of assuming. For this debate, I want voters also to consider a concept of irrationality as logical incoherence (e.g., P & ~P), since it provides a clearer method for scrutinizing belief in God.4. The purpose of this debate, as I understand it, is to determine whether belief in God is necessarily irrational. In other words, this debate about whether God actually exists, or whether certain arguments are sound; rather, I am attempting to disprove that it is in principle irrational for an individual to have belief in God.Anyway, good luck Parkers.
It is irrational to believe that the Christian God exists.

No plagiarism2. No round forfeits3. No trollingFailure to follow the debate structure or rules results in an automatic forfeit by the offending party. I offer the following for definitions:Christian God - As outlined in the Christian holy text (The Holy Bible), a conscious, personal being, who created the universe and everything in it, and is omnipotent (all powerful), omniscient (all knowing), and omnibenevolent (all loving).
