Radiometric dating as practiced is reliable.

"Radiometric dating (often called radioactive dating) is a technique used to date materials such as rocks, usually based on a comparison between the observed abundance of a naturally occurring radioactive isotope and its decay products, using known decay rates." [1. http://en.wikipedia.org...] It includes carbon dating, uranium/lead dating, potassium/argon dating and more that a dozen other methods using radioisotopes. The phrase "as practiced" means that the methods are applied according to standard scientific protocols by trained personnel."Reliable" means "Consistently good in quality or performance; able to be trusted." "Reliable "does not been invariably perfect. Rulers are a reliable way of measuring objects, but nonetheless erroneous measurements occur and they are not absolutely precise. The claim is that radiometric dating methods are reliable enough for scientific purposes.Proof of reliability involves comparison to alternative dating methods.My opponent has agreed not to use Creationist sources in this debate, but to rely upon standard scientific sources.RulesThis opening round is for definitions and acceptance only.

Information about carpet-bombing of Debate. Org

For the past few days I have experienced a lot of suffering from bad logic and insults on this site. After being witness and a victim of many insults and anti-logic here, I decided it is time for me to fire back with some high caliber truth. For the undetermined amount of time, Debate.

Tomato's have no place in a fruit salad.

My opponent only reiterated his points from the last time around so for the sake of abandoning redundancy I will leave you with recipes for fruit salad that includes tomatoes and perhaps you can try one and see if that changes your opinion. Tomato Fruit Salad Ingredients 1 qrt. fresh strawberries, cleaned & cut in half 1 large peach, cut into thin slices, then cut in half again 1/2 large red delicious apple, sliced then quartered 1 pint of mixed cherry tomatoes - red, green, yellow, orange Dressing 3 Tbsp. white balsamic vinegar 2 Tbsp. agave nectar (or honey) 1 tsp. vanilla extract a dash of cinnamon How we make it Wash and cut the fruit as indicated then place in a large glass bowl and gently toss to mix. Add the dressing ingredients to a small bowl and whisk together to thoroughly combine. Pour the dressing into a glass jar, put a lid on it and shake it vigorously (this recipe includes exercise!). Cover and refrigerate the fruit salad and dressing until ready to use. Remove from refrigerator, place in a medium to large serving bowl, shake dressing again and "spritz" the salad with it. Gently toss to coat. Mango Tomato Salad Try using other fruits in place of the mangoes in this easy recipe, like peaches, nectarines, or papaya.

As you can see there are plenty of perfectly delicious ways to incorporate tomatoes into a fruit salad. Thank you for your time, vote for fruit equality!
Tomato's have no place in a fruit salad.

1. "Not a ton of people like to mix bitter in with their sweets. You don't see me using crab apples to top my ice cream." First have you tried crab apples on your ice cream? Just curious as to the results. Second I have one drink that will prove you wrong, it is called the Tom Collins, the Gin (a bitter flavor) is used to balance the sweet-tangy taste of the lemon and lime used in sour mix. 2. Where do you get your information, Mississippi is the fattest state. -http://calorielab.com... Also, tomatoes are very nutritious. This from http://nutritiondata.self.com... "The good: This food is low in Sodium, and very low in Saturated Fat and Cholesterol. It is also a good source of Vitamin E (Alpha Tocopherol), Thiamin, Niacin, Vitamin B6, Folate, Magnesium, Phosphorus and Copper, and a very good source of Dietary Fiber, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin K, Potassium and Manganese. The bad: A large portion of the calories in this food come from sugars." As far as the bad goes, this is true of all fruits! 3. Since I'm sure by American you mean the states then you would be incorrect, Tomatoes are from South America, it has been reasoned most likely Peru... therefore they are Peruvian. -http://www.landscapeimagery.com... 4. I do not know what attacks you are speaking of in 2 and 3 so I will not bother to address that issue. 5. Tomatoes are usually rotten when they are thrown (hence the website rotten tomatoes). This is likely due to the fact that people are so disappointed in the performance that they throw the tomatoes, just like how they are disappointed that their delicious fruit went bad. 6. "There are mentally handicapped Americans who think that tomatoes are a vegetable, and you may risk confusing them." Putting them in fruit salads would help educate these unfortunately misinformed people. 7. In regards to solanine, this only exists when tomatoes are green and since tomatoes are eaten while red it isn't a concern. 8. As far as the "leafy-thing" on the top of tomatoes I believe they would most likely be chopped/diced like the other fruits of a fruit salad and you could therefore remove the green extremity at this point. 9. "When little kids get home after school their moms usually give them apples or grapes." That is because the mom is saving the tomatoes for dinner! 10. "The last time I saw tomatoes in a fruit salad was in prison, and the other fruits weren't even fruits, they were rocks and stuff." Since it seems you were in a rehab facility or a mental ward (since you hallucinated rocks being served to you as food) we should most likely just strike this (and all other) comment(s) from the record. Agreed? Anyhow since any form of fruit salad would be expensive it is likely not on a prisoners meal plan (on average there total daily meals cost around $2.25). 11. "The inside of a tomato looks like an organ." Which one? 12. The second top rated recipe was a lasagna... both crushed tomatoes and tomato paste. You should go back and check it out for yourself. It was called World's Best Lasagna, submitted by Johnchandler on allrecipe's top 20 recipes page that you referenced.
Tomato's have no place in a fruit salad.

What you will witness in this video is a tomato attacking a group of innocent wandering animated children. I advice those who cannot stomach graphic content to refrain from watching. Sometimes people have to realize that there are things that are just superior, tomatoes aren't one of those things. This does not make me a fruit racist, it makes me a fruit rationalist. Argument Rebuttal 1.) "Most other fruits are sweet and tangy whereas tomatoes are more bitter and can complement the other fruits nicely" Not a ton of people like to mix bitter in with their sweets. You don't see me using crab apples to top my ice cream. 2.) "the people of Jacksonville, Texas, the Tomato Capital of the World, would disagree with your statistic saying that people don't like tomatoes." Texas is the fattest state in the US. That's a statistic they might agree with. Tomatoes are most popular in the gluttony capital of America, that's not giving a good rep. 3.) "As for the song I have one of my own" http://youtu.be...... Notice that this song only has 54,000 views, while the fruit salad song which represents the majority, has 13,241,251 views. I guarantee you that if someone had of came and threw tomatoes into that salad the wiggles would have got up and left right then. More points: 1.) Everyone knows that American food gets you fat, Tomatoes are American and therefore get you fat. Just look at Texas where they are most popular. 2.) Tomatoes once attacked the US. 3.) Tomatoes once attacked France (But who cares) 4.) Tomatoes are thrown at people on stage when they stink, implying that they are worth as much as a tomato. Do you want something that's thrown at talent less people in your salad? Just think what the dinner guests will say. I Extend all 7 arguments that were not addressed by con. 2.) There are mentally handicapped Americans who think that tomatoes are a vegetable, and you may risk confusing them. 3.) Tomatoes are evil. The tomato, as a member of the Nightshade family, contains a bitter poisonous alkaloid called "Solanine". Solanine is toxic to humans, but it requires a concentrated amount to induce sickness. 5.) Tomatoes have a weird leafy thing on top of them, and that bothers me. 6.) When little kids get home after school their moms usually give them apples or grapes. Come on man, for the children, stop this crazy tomato in fruit salad madness. 7.) The last time I saw tomatoes in a fruit salad was in prison, and the other fruits weren't even fruits, they were rocks and stuff. 8.) The inside of a tomato looks like an organ. (not the instrument) 9.) Out of 20 top rated recipes, not one had tomatoes. http://allrecipes.com...... http://www.youtube.com...
Tomato's have no place in a fruit salad.

What this sounds like to me is that my opponent has a major case of "fruit superiority complex" and is a "fruit racist." What really must be stopped here is this continuos bigotry against tomatoes, I am sick and tired of seeing tomatoes overlooked as a member of fruit salads! Most other fruits are sweet and tangy whereas tomatoes are more bitter and can complement the other fruits nicely, they stand out and bring variety from an otherwise one-dimensional dish. Also, the people of Jacksonville, Texas, the Tomato Capital of the World, would disagree with your statistic saying that people don't like tomatoes. I'm sure they would gladly eat a fruit salad with some east Texas tomatoes in it during the upcoming Tomato Fest. As for the song I have one of my own... There aint nothin in the world that I like better Than bacon n lettuce n homegrown tomatoes Up in the mornin, out in the garden Get you a ripe one, dont pick a hard 'un Plant 'em in the spring, eat em in the summer All winter without em is a culinary bummer I forget all about the sweatin and the diggin Every time I go out and pick me a big un Home grown tomatoes, home grown tomatoes What would life be like without homegrown tomatoes Only two things that money cant buy That's true love and home grown tomatoes You can go out to eat an thats for sure But theres nothin a homegrown tomatoe wont cure Put em in a salad, put em in a stew You can make your own tomatoe juice You can eat em with eggs, eat em with gravy You can eat em with beans, pinto or navy Put 'em on the side, put em in the middle Home grown tomatoes on a hot cake griddle Home grown tomatoes, home grown tomatoes What would life be like without homegrown tomatoes Only two things that money cant buy That's true love and home grown tomatoes If Is to change this life I lead You could call me Johnny Tomatoe Seed Cause I know what this country needs Home grown tomatoes in every yard you see When I die dont bury me In a box in a cold dark cemetary Out in the garden would be much better Cause I could be pushin up a home grown tomatoe Home grown tomatoes, home grown tomatoes What would life be like without homegrown tomatoes Only two things that money cant buy That's true love and home grown tomatoes http://youtu.be... This may not say much about fruit salads but it does show the versatility of the fruit and also how much people love them. Oh and not to mention this song is by John Denver, so who are you going to listen to John Denver or a bunch of grown men who color coordinate their shirts and their hats. Don't discriminate, give tomatoes a chance!!!!
Tomato's have no place in a fruit salad.

I recognize that tomatoes are a fruit, but I do not believe they deserve a place among higher class fruits in a salad. http://www.youtube.com... Fruit Salad, yummy, yummy Fruit Salad, yummy, yummy Fruit Salad, yummy, yummy Yummy, yummy, yummy, yummy, fruit salad. Let's make some fruit salad today, oh huh huh It's fun to do it's a healthy way Take all the fruit that you want to eat It's gonna be a fruit salad treat The first step Peal your bananas The second step Toss in some grapes The third step Chop up some apples Chop up some Mellon's and put them on your plate Now we've made it, it's time to eat it It tastes so good that you just can't beat it Give everyone a plate and a spoon We'll all be eating it very soon The first step Eat up the bananas The second step Eat up some grapes The third step Eat up some apples Eat up the Mellon's now there's nothing on your plate Now we had our fruit salad today It's time to put the scraps away Wash the bowl and wash the spoon Let's do it all again real soon Fruit Salad, yummy, yummy Fruit Salad, yummy, yummy Fruit Salad, yummy, yummy Yummy, yummy, yummy, yummy, fruit salad. Fruit Salad, yummy, yummy Fruit Salad, yummy, yummy Fruit Salad, yummy, yummy Fruit Salad, yummy, yummy Fruit Salad, yummy, yummy Fruit Salad, yummy, yummy Fruit Salad, yummy, yummy http://lyrics.wikia.com... I would like to point out that tomatoes were not mentioned once through out the course of this historic landmark of a song for fruit salads everywhere. By This reasoning they aren't legitimate. Reasons not to want tomato in your fruit salad. 1.) Raw tomatoes are really going to mess up the mojo of your sweet fruit salad. 2.) There are mentally handicapped Americans who think that tomatoes are a vegetable, and you may risk confusing them. 3.) Tomatoes are evil. The tomato, as a member of the Nightshade family, contains a bitter poisonous alkaloid called "Solanine". Solanine is toxic to humans, but it requires a concentrated amount to induce sickness. http://www.tomatoesareevil.com... 4.) According to this poll, 79% of people had negative things to say about tomatoes. http://amplicate.com... 5.) Tomatoes have a weird leafy thing on top of them, and that bothers me. 6.) When little kids get home after school their moms usually give them apples or grapes. Come on man, for the children, stop this crazy tomato in fruit salad madness. 7.) The last time I saw tomatoes in a fruit salad was in prison, and the other fruits weren't even fruits, they were rocks and stuff. 8.) The inside of a tomato looks like an organ. (not the instrument) 9.) Out of 20 top rated recipes, not one had tomatoes. http://allrecipes.com... 10.) If you find a tomato in a salad, its usually in a vegetable salad, making it a minority. I hope that what I've said has touched your hearts and made you realize tomatoes must be stopped from intruding any fruit salad. I AWAIT CONS RESPONSE

The cost point is still relevant because if you are going to test everyone even if it is not at the same time the cost would be the same. Bill of Rights is never invalid. I don't know what the 35 human rights that would be broken if we enforce the 4th amendment. If you can tell if a child is intoxicated on drugs than ask them to leave the classroom than the 63 percent number is gone. The perfect solution to stop 70 percent of student trying drugs is having some parents that parent.

The universal decloration of human rights states that. Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers. With the vast majority of our students these days having created a hindrance in schooling, then the students who are neglected a full education because of the problems the intoxicated students are not fully receiving this right. Furthermore, The right that every child is entitled to a safe education environment is not put into action without the random action. The cost point you brought up is completely irrelevant. The title is RANDOM drug testing. Not Drug testing. It is random so not all the students are tested all the time. This puts every student at a fair point, Anyone can be tested at any time and it will not be a case of. "I will not go in the day of the tests". What the amendment entails is valid yes but by enforcing that you are neglecting so many entitlements and rights that the students of our schools deserve. The facts speak for themselves. 70 percent of our students HAVE tried drugs and continue to do so 63 Percent are affecting others school work by creating hindrance in class. Scare tactics and information days have been proven to not be working. All in all, The many rights that I have brought up FARLEY outweigh the few you have brought up so I am going to ask. Are you going to attempt to malliably go around one right to suit everyone, or break 35 human rights located in the constitutions of out nation. All you can bring up can be countered with one of these rights and be outweighed by the rest so no matter what you say to counter this will be again outweighs by the sheer amount of rights you are neglecting and for that reason this house wins

The reason why schools should not have random drug test in schools is because of two main reasons. The 4th amendment and the cost of the drug test. The Fourth amendment states-The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized. People are secure in their persons so just forcing someone to take a drug test would go against the 4th amendment unless a warrant has been issued. The mandatory drug tests would be unconstitutional. The cost of the drug test would be great. The average high school has 752 students and the average cost of a drug test is $38. That means to have these random drug test it will cost a school $28,576 for just one day. That money would no longer go toward education and would be wasted. sources http://www.law.cornell.edu... http://nces.ed.gov... http://ohsinc.com...

The halls and classrooms of our schools have become so infested with drugs and alcohol that many students schooling has become a daze, we need to take action at the fact that drugs and alcohol are now just as much part of the curriculum as English and math. It has been in a study that 70 percent of students have experimented with cocaine during school time. IN what reality do we allow our children to continue schooling in an environment where drugs are thriving.
Should people boycott Israel for inhumane acts against arabs? (BDS)

Israel as a country has done nothing wrong against the palestinians. The argument for BDS is generally that the Israeli army is inhumanely bombing civilian areas in the West Bank and Gaza. This is false, these areas are terrorist controlled and are generally using civilians as a human shield. The Israeli army will knock on doors to tell civilians to get out of the way before a bombing. BDS does not pay attention to facts or evidence, nor does the movement understand exactly how much of the technology they use is built in Israel.
