legally there should only be two genders male and female

In the comments, you sound like you are trying to use religious views and etymology to solve this. 1. I don't believe in the existence of god, so let's keep that out of this debate. 2. Yes. The state of being male or female. But that definition does not say that it cannot change. 3. Most of the time, you are legally considered the gender that equates to your sex, unless you go through the surgical and legal processes to change your ID. 4. Being gay and being transgender are very separate. Most people who want to change their gender may still feel the same sexually, but just want to change their gender. 5. Here's something I agree with. People saying "don't assume my gender" doesn't always make sense. You are observing things and saying what you are pretty sure your gender is. 6. People that say things like "I identify as spoon" are usually making fun of how many genders people think there are. There's a great meme about identifying as an attack helicopter, in fact.
legally there should only be two genders male and female

I'm simply saying that if you were born a female you are female by law and legally i don't think you should decide whether you are or not. they can act like another sex but to identify as that when people ask is what i'm disagreeing with for 1 its making people confused and for 2 people are saying " don't assume my gender" well ..... there isn't much to assume everyone can physically see whether you are male or female unless of course they get surgery. its just pointless to me if you like boys you don't have to become a female to like them you can just be gay or if you like wearing female clothing and you like wearing makeup you can do that i don't see the point in saying something like ' i identify as spoon " or some shii ,it just makes people look stupid when they try to be something they are not and i'm OK with the way these people feel but if someone needs to know you have to tell them you actual sex and not walk around saying you are a girl but you are not like i said before , get the surgery and they can do what ever they want but it should not be made legal that you can identify as more than male or female
Regulated Capitalism is better than Laissez-faire Capitalism

The BOP is on you. You can't just let me argue first. I didn't make this debate. I assume you mean, On balance, Rather than absolutely. Laissez-faire is better in some respects and regulation is better in others. Hypothetically, A true laissez-faire country doesn't exist. And regulated capitalism is a vague notion. How much regulation defines a regulated economy? What if the government intervenes only once every hundred years? If a country runs perfectly for a thousand years government free but has only one day where the government intervened, Then the laissez-faire advocates would scream it was successful because of laissez-faire, And the regulation freaks would scream it's because of the government. If pro decides to take the title literally, Then he has already lost this debate. The burden of proof would be on him, And it would be impossible to prove his stance on such vague notions and a lack of specific definitions. But that's no fun. We can instead, Assume, For pro's stance: "on balance, A hypothetical economy of an absolute balance of government intervention and laissez-faire philosophy, would perform better if there was more government intervention, As opposed to less government intervention. "If pro doesn't want to debate this way, Then unfortunately, Pro lost the debate.
Regulated Capitalism is better than Laissez-faire Capitalism

The point is to argue if government intervention in a capitalist economy is better or not than a form of capitalism with no regulation (laissez-faire), As the classical liberals defend. Rules: Both Con and Pro should give historical examples to defend each position. 3 rounds & feel free to write in the comments section. I let the Con to start his arguments. I ask for someone that really knows about the topic so please, Only join if you have strong arguments.

Islam is a religion of terror

Islam is a religion of terror Hello, Donald. We both know exactly why I’ve proposed this debate. If you accept, I will retract my comments about you being a coward. Of course, if you don’t, my comments will stand. It’s your choice, choose carefully. Opening for acceptance; no new arguments in the last round. Only content posted in this debate is to be judged. Since we’re trying to find the meaning of something, I think it’s only fair to expect semantics, so I won’t disallow that. If you have any problems with the stipulations, please don’t accept, instead ask me in the comments beforehand. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Before we might begin, I want to clarify some common misconceptions about my stance on Islam. It’s incredibly frustrating to see people intentionally straw-man/ not understand my arguments, especially after I repeat them several times. Q: Are you a racist? A: No, I am not anti-Arab, I am anti-Islam (Islam isn't a race). I hate the religion, not necessarily the people who worship it. If I do hate the people that worship it, that’s because I hate the religion they are espousing, not because I dislike their skin colour. Q: Are you anti-freedom to religion? A: Islam is incompatible with Democracy to a degree, or really any notion of freedom. I don’t have a problem with women dressing in Burkas if they want; that’s freedom of expression. I don’t mind Mosques being built, but I don’t think that should be funded by the government. But in order for Muslims to be able to practice their religion, in tandem with Christians, Sikhs, Scientologists etc.-, you need a secular state that caters to all. Islam wants power, it wants to impose itself everywhere, including government. Do you now see how this is incompatible? Do you now see how Islam is anti-freedom? Under an Islamic state, there would be no Democracy. Q: Do you hate Muslims? A: Not necessarily, although I think that most Muslims don’t follow their holy books completely, so as to be culturally acceptable. If ‘Muslims’ are being peaceful, if they aren’t calling for Sharia and the beheading of those who insult the prophet, then these people are probably fit to live in a civilised society, and I don’t really have a problem with them.
gay marriage

That is were adoption comes in, their are several gay couples that weren't able to produce children but they still have children. Due to females that put their unwanted children in foster homes and than couples that can't have baby's or gay couples can take the children in Forster homes as their own. On June 2014 a peer-reviewed University of Melbourne study showed that children raised by same-sex parents score 6% higher than the general population on measures of general health and family cohesion. That's can because they care more about the children and are really happy they have the opportunity to raise them because if it weren't for the children in the foster homes they wouldn't be able to have children's.(http:/gaymarriage.procon.org
gay marriage

The United States supreme court approve gay marriage on June 25, 2015.Although gay marriage was already allowed in 37 states, 13 states still banned gay marriage. Same sex couples should have the same rights/access to all the benefit as different sex couples. Marriage is a internationally recognize human right for ALL people since 1888 American Foundation for Equal Rights states (Article 16 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights guarantees) That men and women of full age or proper age without any limitation due to race, nationality or religion have the right to marry and to found a family.
Halo Vs Call of Duty

COD is on both Xbox and PS3 therefore more people can play it so they get a better community. The campaign is better in Call of Duty and there are new characters in most new games. Call of Duty has better guns and it is more fun. The controls are better and easy to use while Halo controls are too complicated. Although Call of Duty doesn't have many vehicles in Multiplayer, the map are easy to move around within it. Both games have famous Youtubers but with a wider fan base more people watch Call of Duty videos. Call of Duty games are 60fps and Halo 4 has 30fps. Both games have pretty much the same "skilled" players, but they both have little kids. Call of Duty is a game based on military and Halo is Based on Robots and Aliens which don't exist. At least we can see are main character's face.
Halo Vs Call of Duty

Better Community Better Balanced and more skill based multiplayer.
Halo Vs Call of Duty

Ok so even though COD has very few vehicles in the multiplayer, there are many different kinds of maps and many ways to het throughout each map. Take Turbine for example, a very large map with many ways to move around to flank or go through the middle. Speaking of multiplayer, more guns does make it better. Both games start everybody with the same guns but with the more variety guns players can change their tactics or how they play. It also leaves a surprise for you playing multiplayer because you really don't know what the other team is using unless you are in a party with your friends. The campaign uses some old characters if there are the same developers such as the Modern Warfare series. The campaign is kind've bland but there are some choices in some games. There are many annoying kids on COD but do you think the parents care what their kids hear on these games. No they really don't. If the people that sold copies of the games really paid attention then that problem would be solved. COD has reached a lot of the targeted audience so don't keep talking about midget trash talkers. Halo 5 and Advanced Warfare were compared on two websites that i looked at and one said that Halo 5 is just like AW and the other one was talking about how Halo 5 has more time so the amount of hype would be more since people have anticipated this game for a longer time. The amount of skill it takes depends about how you play, mate. If you snipe a lot you need way more skill than someone with an assault rifle running through the map shooting random stuff. Plus you could try challenges for yourself such as using only pistols or knife only. You may have to do some of this by yourself instead of making the game do it for you. Back to multiplayer, you can do something if you are shooting or being shot at. In AW you could use your exo suit to strafe or jump up to evade it. Or if you better than that you could maybe jump up and shoot to kill. Either way it still requires some skill, it could take more if you were fighting someone good not a midget trash talker. Some people would rather have a realistic game to play but COD is becomong way more futuristic. http://www.gameskinny.com... http://www.gamefaqs.com...
Ban Pornography and Nude entertainment

I see my opponent is new to Debate.org, so welcome to the site!My opponent stated:"Nudity and other sexual themes are disgusting" Sex involves nudity, but it's natural to human beings and necessary for reproduction, so it cannot be wrong. Erotica is the artistic manifestation of sexual themes [1] and has been appreciated and praised since early times. The natural beauty of the human body and the sensuality of the sexual act should not be something to ban or censure. Now, I must assume my opponent is referring specifically to pornography and the adult entertainment industry, as mentioned in round 1. While it is true pornography has nothing to do with art or natural sex, it still shouldn't be a bannable offense. Observe: Pornography is the portrayal of sex as to generate sexual gratification in the observer. Legal adult industry uses actors and actresses who are willing to use their own bodies in exchange for money, so no rights are being violated. Those who watch pornography do it under their own will. The Internet, television and other public displays are regulated in such way that neither children nor any unwilling person is exposed to explicit material. My opponent made the following statement: " pornography can lead to becoming a pervert or even a rapist" Nearly 30,000 people worldwide are watching porn every second [2]. It's unnecessary to say that the number of rapists is nowhere near the number of "porn watchers", which means that the vast majority of the people who watch pornography never rape someone, so we must discard this statement as doubtful. Let's conclude: Everything involving pornography is done with the consent of the people involved. While it is true that it might pervert people, we can't judge people on what they think, so as long as they are not raping someone, they can't be treated as criminals. I am not saying pornography should be promoted, but it should be tolerated because it's a business like any other where people who want money can use their bodies to earn it and people who want sexual gratification can satisfy themselves without harming anyone (in any case and arguably, they are only harming themselves). Issues like human trafficking, rape, and child porn can indeed be related to pornography. Nonetheless, governments do ban and sanction this kind of practices (there are even laws against simulating rape in a porn video). There is no reason to ban pornography as long as it's abiding to the laws already established. [1] http://en.wikipedia.org... [2] http://theweek.com...

birth control in high school

Given Pro's premises, her conclusion comes as a surprise. After pointing out the negative consequences of no birth control, her conclusion turns out to be that "there should not be any birth control in high school."I think there should be birth control in highschool for all the reasons Pro gave--that having a baby in highschool may force a mother to have to dop out and get a crappy job.Anybody who has sex and doesn't want a baby should use birth control, whether they are in highschool or not.
Marijuana Legalization for recreational purposes

I must have a curse or something. My last two debates (and now this) were against forfeiters. Oh well. I extend my arguments from R1 to here so that my opponent (if he comes back) can leave a rebuttal in his closing arguments. Thus far, you, the audience, most vote for me because I have successfully defeated my opponent's only arguments, and have posed unchallenged arguments against my opponent.
