Drawing Contest

This is my first time on here so please bear with me... For my first "debate" I'd like to hold a drawing contest. Let's set some rules first. FIRST ROUND IS TO ACKNOWLEDGE DEBATE All art MUST be your own, you can use art from your past but it would most likely be better to just create something on the spot. Your art may be traditional or digital and it may be sketched or finished. Winner will be decided by the quality not quantity and whether or not it is obviously better than mine. Not just equal. Please no rude comments or negative responses to anyone art. Be respectful! Thank you!
Barack Obama is an Idiot.

Debate Origin of Idiot. "Middle English, from Anglo-French ydiote, from Latin idiota ignorant person, from Greek idiōtēs one in a private station, layman, ignorant person, from idios one's own, private; akin to Latin suus one's own " more at suicide First Known Use: 14th century" Websters dictionary The definition I was going to use is a foolish person, from the same dictionary as yours. Obama has made some very foolish mistakes in his presidency. A few of which are, the economic stimulus, the healthcare reform, and the changing of welfare. He tried to make this country into a socialistic country. Socialism may sound good on paper, but doesn't work with people. Too many will try to sit on their backs and do nothing, which will cause the society to collapse. I am only debating his foolishness in running the country.
Barack Obama is an Idiot.

According to the Merriam Webster Online Dictionary an idiot is a person affected with extreme mental retardation. Mental retardation (MR) is a generalized disorder appearing before adulthood, characterized by significantly impaired cognitive functioning and deficits in two or more adaptive behaviors. Sign and Symptoms Delays in oral language development Deficits in memory skills Difficulty learning social rules Difficulty with problem solving skills Delays in the development of adaptive behaviors such as self-help or self-care skills Lack of social inhibitors IQ Levels Class IQ Profound mental retardation Below 20 Severe mental retardation 20 to 34 Moderate mental retardation 35 to 49 Mild mental retardation 50 to 69 Borderline intellectual functioning 70 to 84 Obama's IQ- The average IQ for a college graduate with a bachelor's degree in the U.S. is 115. Barack Obama graduated from Columbia University, so the assumption is he must have had at least an IQ of 115. Barack Obama graduated Magna Cum Laude from Harvard Law School; such academic honors are only awarded to students in the top 10% of their class. Obama's IQ has been estimated anywhere from 110-165. He is a graduate of Columbia University and Harvard Law School, where he served as editor, and later as president of the Harvard Law Review; which is an extremely prestigious position. Obama also taught at the University of Chicago for 12 years, a top-ranked university in the United States. However, these achievement-based estimates fail to account for the possibility that Obama was a beneficiary of affirmative action, which based on collegiate averages would lower his estimated IQ to the 115-120 range. Obama attended an elite private school in Honolulu as a scholarship student. Since all of the graduates from that school at that time took collegiate aptitude tests and he was not a National Merit Scholar, Semifinalist, or Outstanding Participant, his maximum possible score on the SAT was 1230, which is the 96.9 percentile. That would translate to a maximum possible IQ of 129. It should be noted, however, that one of the requirements for the National Merit Scholarship is taking the Preliminary SAT test. If Obama did not take the PSAT, he could very well have scored above 1230 on the SAT without being a National Merit Scholar. As observable Obama's IQ is clearly over the standard for any classification of mental retardation IQ.
Barack Obama is an Idiot.

Resolution/Closing Argument Hint: Definitions can be used in other rounds besides R1 Rules- No semantics No trolling No profanity No vulgarity Violating any of the rules results in immediate termination of the debate.

There is no such thing as trying

I thank whoever accepts this debate for debating this topic with me. I have been wishing to debate this topic and I wish whoever accepts it good luck. I have posted the rules and what to do in each round as well as the definitions below. Abuse: Constant use or a hefty amount of something Trying: The use of saying you will try to show that you will either succeed or fail. Rules 1. No abuse of semantics. 2. No abuse of any form such as using advantages from the dictionary multiple times Rounds 1 - Acceptance 2 - Arguments 3 - Rebuttals and arguments 4 - Rebuttals and closing. No more arguments may be presented in this round
There is no such thing as trying

Pro disproved his contention when he in fact attempted to win the debate regardless of his strategy. "Try" is defined as to attempt to do or accomplish (www. dictionary. com). Pro, in fact, attempted to prove there is no such thing as trying, thereby proving the existence of "trying". A secondary definition of "Trying" is extremely annoying, difficult, or the like; straining one's patience and goodwill to the limit (www. dictionary. com). His failure to show up for the debate was, in fact, annoying and therefore proved, once again, the existence of "trying". Out.
Indecent exposure laws should be gender specific

I should like to extend my thanks to my opponent who wrote: "So you are just going to strip everyone of their rights to enjoy sunbathing on their own property?" No, they are already prohibited from doing so by law and I would refer my opponent to the statute reproduced in my previous argument. However, that particular piece of legislation was unusual in that it was gender specific. My argument is that this should be the norm, rather than the exception. The fact is, only the most prudish of people would object to a naked woman sunbathing in her own garden, although undoubtedly there are such people. http://news.bbc.co.uk... On the other hand, almost everybody would be offended by the sight of a man doing the same thing. Men (except the tiny minority that are homosexual) don't like to look at other men naked and women don't leer at naked men either. If you think about the racks of a newsagent, for men there are car, boat and plane magazines plus the top shelf publications featuring explicit photographs of naked women in sexually provocative poses (or so I am told). Meanwhile, for women, there are fashion, cooking and celebrity gossip magazines, but none with pictures of sexually aroused naked men. There's no "Master debater Brian Eggleston talks exclusively to Women's Needs Magazine about all the lucky ladies he has slept with around the world plus don't miss highly explicit photographs of this gorgeous hunk with his **** out - only in this week's Women's Needs! Still only ninety-nine cents." That is why it should be legal for women to sunbathe naked in the garden, but not men and I hereby commend this proposal to the House. Thank you.
Indecent exposure laws should be gender specific

I am going to make my 1st arguement short and sweet. So you are just going to strip everyone of their rights to enjoy sunbathing on their own property? (excuse the pun please) If people in the immediate area are offended they should not be allowed to do anything about it. It's the sunbathers property they should be able to do whatever they want. And if it's a guy who cares if the neighbors don't like it, don't look at it. It's that simple.
Indecent exposure laws should be gender specific

There's nothing more unsightly on a woman's body than tan lines but the only way a girl can avoid them is to sunbathe naked. Unfortunately, in the past, puritans, ultra-orthodox prudes and bikini salesmen have been very successful in lobbying lawmakers to ban nudist beaches. This means that the only way most women can get an all-over tan is to strip off in their own back gardens. Of course, some gardens are overlooked by neighbouring properties. Now picture, if you will, a fine summer's day. You are sitting on the veranda enjoying a Pimm's and lemonade when the nineteen year-old blonde stunner from next door comes out into her back garden, slips off her robe revealling her beautifully-sculpted nubile young body in all its natural glory, spreads a towel out on the lawn and lies down to soak up the rays. Imagine that, if you can. If you can't, here are some pictures: http://www.just-provence.com... A photo of a sunny veranda http://www.beginsathome.com... A picture of a glass of Pimm's and lemonade http://lh3.ggpht.com... A completely uncensored full-frontal shot of some cheeky little vixen wearing absolutely no clothes sunbathing in the back garden (Yes, I know, but this is a family-friendly website). Now, being a kind and thoughtful neighbour, you naturally get up and walk over to the dividing fence to find out if she needs any help putting her suntan lotion on, but just as you get there, Mr. Privet-Hedge: the pipe-smoking, cardigan-wearing irate old prig from the house on the other side appears and starts mouthing off at her. "Your behaviour is grossly offensive to normal decent persons in society and I am extremely shaken by this, young lady," rants the coffin-dodging old prude, "This is very upsetting and worrying. I intend to call the police and have them arrest you for indecent exposure." And with that, the interfering old git disappears in a rage while the girl goes back inside to get dressed pending the imminent arrival of the filth. In California, Penal Code Section 314, subsection 1, states that "every person who wilfully {sic} and lewdly exposes his person, or the private parts thereof, in any public place, or in any place where there are present other persons to be offended or annoyed...is guilty of a misdemeanour". You will have noted that Californian lawmakers were astute enough to make this legislation gender specific so that if a man sunbathes in the nick he will be breaking the law but if some gorgeous teen lovely gets her kit off that's fine. Sadly, however, in other parts of the world, women are routinely arrested in their own backyards and carted away by the police for the crime of basking in the altogether. This is wrong and indecent exposure laws must be gender specific in order to allow women to enjoy the sunshine as nature intended. Thank You.
It is better to open a banana upside down

Definitions When I say banana I am speaking about the fruit, as defined as "The elongated, edible fruit of these plants, having a thick yellowish to reddish skin and white, aromatic, seedless pulp (1)." Obviously I am not talking about the tree. Upside-down is defined as "so the upper or right side is down (2)." On the banana the right side up is considered the end with the stem, the end most people eat from using this stem as a type of lever to open the banana. I am advocating that this is not the best way to open the banana To eat a banana upside down, one simply squeezes the bottom of it. This allows a crack in between the skin and the brown part which in turn is then pulled down (assuming your holding the banana upside down) This is easier because... (1) It is far easier to pluck the nasty brown/black part at the bottom of the banana. When you eat a banana right side up, often you will throw away good edible banana because of the fear of eating the gross part. By opening up the banana upside down, one can pluck the gross part right out and eat the entire banana. (2) Monkeys open their bananas upside down. Monkeys have been on the Earth longer than humans and therefore have more experience at opening bananas. It is likely that the way they peel bananas is superior to ours. Plus, bananas are a monkey's favorite food! (3) There are less stringy things when you open the banana upside down. Though I can find no official studies to prove this, I encourage my opponent and the voters to try and they will discover that the annoying stringy things that are on the banana when opened right side up seem to disappear/become far less frequent when the banana is opened from the bottom.

Women Abuse Violence Against Women

My opponent said about the cops (A woman cannot just sue someone for sexual harassment and get money, police will look into it and they have to have actual proof. ) well usually the cops would believe the women because things like this do happen and therefore the women wins and takes the money. About when the women never make it to court but the women im talking about take it straight to court and walk away with the money. I still strongly believe women abuse violence against women.
Women Abuse Violence Against Women

I strongly disagree that woman abuse violence against women. Many women who actually are abused by men never make it to court, or never even tell anyone. Women hardly ever abuse men, face it, its in our genes. This may sound bad but men are naturally more likely to abuse, be cruel, and break the law. There are far less cases of women being at fault then men. Also, the very title of this debate hes its flaws. If women are to abuse the fact that other women are abused, and take advantage, then obviously the abusing had to happen to the innocent women first. A woman cannot just sue someone for sexual harassment and get money, police will look into it and they have to have actual proof. So, really, women would not get very much out of abusing violence against women, and women are allready greatly abused by men in the first place.
Women Abuse Violence Against Women

Women come up and start really annoying you and they start flurting and when they annoy you like for example my kid always complains that girls steal his hat then they kick him and he just wants to kick them back but he doesnt and if he does cause my kid told me his friend kicked a girl and he got in trouble i mean cmon there kicking him and then he becomes unpopular because violence against women. Same thing happens with Men when women flurt with them deliberatly then they call for sexual harrasment and sew them and the girl intended on doing it for the money so Women Abuse Violence Against Women
