The Teaching of Safe Sex Education in Public Elementary School

The teaching of safe-sex education in public elementary schools is necessary to the moral fabric of society. Children under the age of 12 must currently look to the behaviors of their society for guidance pertaining to sexual behavior. The recent events of 16-year old Jamie Lynn Spears, younger sister of Britney Spears and star teenage actress of Nickelodeon's "Zoey 101", has taught children that not only sexual activity is okay, but it is also acceptable to engage in unprotected sex outside of a stable relationship to induce pregnancy. These children must be taught the safe way to conduct themselves; they have already been brainwashed by their idol to the point of no return. Sex is no longer unacceptable. Instruction on protecting themselves from their beliefs is the only effective strategy to make the words of parents and teachers more influential than the actions of an underage with legs spread wide as her widespread credentials. The voting issue in today's debate is simple. To quote the often repeated phrase of the gossiping and outspoken Mrs. Reverend Lovejoy of the FOX Network's hit cartoon show The Simpsons, "Oh, won't somebody PLEASE think of the children!" Kids are now going to have sex. Today's debate must be restricted to whether these teachings should occur in public elementary school.
minecraft is better than roblox

First off, Minecraft is owned by Microsoft. The intention of Minecraft is to allow the "gamer" to create and or survive in a 3D virtual world. This is, however, limited; minecraft is only limited what is default in the program. By default, the player cannot edit or change the code in their game to improve their gameplay. Minecraft does have unofficial "mod developers" but this is only subject to the 3rd party. Those developers are not (currently) affiliated with the company of Microsoft or Mojang. Roblox, on the other hand, allows its platform to have more flexible developers. Roblox designed its platform to allow the developer to program in LUA and share their creations with everyone on the platform. In terms of software, Roblox has been constantly improving their physics engine to improve the player experience. Unlike Minecraft, Roblox allows players to create anything they desire; because of the flexibility, you could create a very similar game to Minecraft on Roblox.

minecraft is better than roblox

Eh, sorry for not replying. I lost my internet for a while. You didn't answer any of my questions, you only placed rebuttals (restating the same things). I base my conclusion on the FACT that roblox has been around longer than minecraft. Also the FACT that roblox has better graphics and impose greater flexibility than minecraft. Also on the FACT that roblox has legitimate sources that indicate they contain a better physic engine. On a side note, pro, I'm sorry for missing out on the round.
minecraft is better than roblox

i apologize to my opponent for forfeiting the round but i had some other things to do. but the show must go on i believe i have won this argument do to the fact that minecraft has not been around as long as roblox yet minecraft has the better graphics, it has little to no glitches in its code, and finally mine craft has not had a problem with its advertising. the way i found robloxx was by accident when i was looking for spider-man games and that just happened to pop up. FYI the game was terrible.
minecraft is better than roblox

based on the fact that roblox has been around longer than minecraft i could pose the question back on you "why has roblox not fixed tthe glitches when it has had more time than minecraft yet for some reason minecraft is not just a dating site for little kids but a real, fun game that people enjoy?" if it is a glitch in the developers area why didnt roblox fix it to help out the users?" i mean i have sent emails to the developers of the original roblox to fix some software glitches on the actual site that i noticed but they have failed to respond and to even fix the glitches
minecraft is better than roblox

I'm not sure if this is correct, but I guess I'll ask questions. (According to the rules above) You mentioned that "minecraft has longer to fix the glitches that roblox has not." How exactly has minecraft had a longer time to fix their glitches since roblox was created in 2005? "such as the glitch when you make something and it gets destroyed and you walk over the seat on accident I am then stuck in the seat and unable to move." Forgive me if i'm wrong but, isn't that a developer's glitch rather than a glitch in the software? "I have sent the roblox people several messages containing several glitches that have made my roblox experience very bad." I'm not sure what you mean by this, may you clarify? "Microsoft company sometimes even helps to fix the glitches in the code that others have created." Can you please provide a source pertaining to this? One last thing. Did roblox or minecraft exist first and can you provide evidence supporting your statement?
minecraft is better than roblox

I believe that Minecraft is better because it has been around longer than Roblox. I say this because that means minecraft has longer to fix the glitches that roblox has not, and because I have sent the roblox people several messages containing several glitches that have made my roblox experience very bad. such as the glitch when you make something and it gets destroyed and you walk over the seat on accident I am then stuck in the seat and unable to move. you said, "Roblox, on the other hand, allows its platform to have more flexible developers. Roblox designed its platform to allow the developer to program in LUA and share their creations with everyone on the platform." so in response to this I say that in minecraft you are able to do this too. several people that I have met have designed texture packs for minecraft along with mods that I have used and the Microsoft company sometimes even helps to fix the glitches in the code that others have created.
America had no business using torture as a way of getting information.

Bush has just vetoed a law that would make certain forms of torture illegal citing that those methods are needed in order to obtain needed information on the war on terror. I disagree with this viewpoint for the following reasons: 1) No information obtained through torture is reliable. 2) What we do to others will be done to our own people. 3) The end doesn't justify the means. And lastly, as with all of the actions regarding the war on terror, it is slippery slope that, as American citizens, will come back to bite us on the butt. This is my first debate. Hopefully I will not embarrass myself too badly.
America had no business using torture as a way of getting information.

First of all I have given you facts in my support of the statement that America has not business using torture to get information. I have proved facts in support of my stance, you have not. You quote John Locke and Nietzsche as if they were a voice on Mt Sinai is ludicrous. At this point I could quote Immanuel Kant who said who states that when a combatant willfully engages in warfare he has given his permission to be killed. Once that individual has given up his status as a combatant, he has withdrew his permission to be killed. It is Kant's stance that human dignity is beyond price. Kant goes on to say humanity is not a means to an end, but the end itself. We can go back and forth about what this philosopher said or that one but the truth is they are all dead and cannot fathom the times we live in and therefore their opinions are questionable at best. As I told my philosophy professor, their opinions are no better than mine just because they died before me. As for the comparison to Hitler, it is a justified one. How many people were taken as political prisoners, imprisoned and tortured without warrant, trial or legal recourse? Their family left unaware of their fates. Isn't that what this country is currently engaging in? As for the wire tapping against American citizens, this has been well documented. Constitutional rights have been violated left and right. Do I wait until the government is ready to drag me off in the middle of the night before I cry foul? Do I not have a responsibility to my fellow Americans? If one American's rights are violated are not all of our rights violated? Your reference to 9/11 and subsequent terrorist activities on American soil is extremely flawed. In order for torture or any form of questioning to be effective one has to have some information that an event is to take place. One interrogates for specific information. To say that torture could have prevented 9/11 is to say the government had specific information concerning the attack. The government has denied this. Therefore this point is moot, unless you have specific and factual information to the contrary. You have failed to back up any statement with fact. Instead you have used philosophical debate, the argument of one with no real position. The reason? You are unable to provide any factual proof that any valuable information has been obtained through torture.
sharia for all

I believe that they don't know what Sharia is, how it is applied and they don't know that the Sharia itself is against such a violence. But anyways, since they have started this, then I will reply to their claims. RESOLUTIONThe resolution I would like to debate is as follows:"Sharia should be the law of every government, even if it has to be achieved with violence. "BURDEN OF PROOF (BOP)The BOP is fully on Pro! They have to show that:Sharia should be the law of every government, even if it has to be achieved with violence. I don't make any claim. My only BOP is to negate Pro's arguments, not the resolution. However, I may provide evidence to show that the part "even if it has to be achieved with violence" is contradictory to Sharia itself, but this is not necessary for me to fill my BOP. DEFINITIONSSharia: The religion of Islam as a whole, including religious commands (prayers etc. ) and prohibitions, legal judgments etc. based on the Qur'an (the Holy Book of Islam), the Hadith (sayings and daily practices of the Prophet of Islam, Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him)) and Ijma' of 'Ulama (Consensus of Muslim Scholars).
United Nations peacekeepers should have the power to engage in offensive operations

This is a debate regarding the full utilization of our assets in the fight against evil. This is a debate where one side clearly and consistently advocated for a reasonable reform of giving authority to armed men to do what's right. This is a debate that the Pro side has won. We've seen the competing impacts. We've seen what happens to people when those we trust to keep the peace aren't given the authority to do their jobs. And we've seen what happens when they are given this authority--FT never had anything to say on the example of the Congo, a vindication of my side. An army should not stand idly by as civilians die. Don't let them.

So I guess you never had any intentions of actually bringing proofs to the debate. Makes me wonder what's in that suitcase of yours. You called my question rhetorical and then refused to answer it for the second time. It's cool I know the answer and so do you. That's why you keep dodging it. You know that your proposition is just a band aide and you probably have some ulterior motive for advocating for it, Because it's clear to me that it's not to stop racial disparity. If that was the case, You would care more about discrimination and less about handouts. You seem quick to want to give away money but you don't want to talk about racism. My opponent said "nothing more than Semantics" Oh my. Semantics are important. All you're saying here is that the details don't matter. Who cares if it doesn't work! Just give them the money right? That's a weak argument. I don't care how many reparations have been handed out. That doesn't mean that it worked or that it was the right decision. Sometimes it's right and sometimes it's not. In this case, There are better ways to deal with it. I'm not even convinced that reparations are good at all except in cases of restitution involving measurable property damage. You said: "No other racial group of people has built a country via slavery, " That's actually quite false. Slavery was practiced almost universally for most of human history. All types of races enslaved other races and built nations on them and sometimes enslaved their own people. You're so wrong on this it's embarrassing for you. So much wrong with this one. You say "the bigotry of white people" which is a bigoted statement itself. Ironic. You also to go on to say that black people have never been racist. That's just false. Any individual can be racist regardless of their color and the very act of saying a black person can't be racist is also racist The irony of this debate has not been lost on me. I have a bigot telling me to give a group of people a bunch of money for bigoted reasons who doesn't care about racism or racial disparity. My opponent spends the whole debate insisting that I must use logic and that I am not using logic, But his entire argument is based on emotional appeals, Appeals to tradition, And whataboutism. His only real attempt at an argument was to say we should do it because we did it with other people. Which is like saying you want a cookie because your brother got one, Ignoring the fact neither of you ate your dinner and nobody should have gotten a cookie in the first place. In closing. I would suggest that you think more productively if you want to fight racism. Although I don't think that's your goal. Good debate.

Before I conclude this debate, My opponent hasn't made any logical sense what-so-ever. Case In Point: He said that "the reason for racial disparity in the US is because we haven't perfected a proper solution. " That statement alone destroys his entire rambling argument. . . You asked "If I give minorities a bunch of money, Does that stop discrimination? " Dude, Your questions are pretty much ignorant & rhetorical. What you don't seem to understand is that bigotry is taught from a young age. All of this false dichotomy nonsense is nothing more than Semantics. Sir, Either way you spin it, There would be No racial disparity if people weren't practicing racism. Semantics like (can't) & (can not) is a deflection tactic. The Topic At Hand: The fake Jews receive billion from the US on an annual basis for no logical reason. Japan bombed Pearl Harbor but Japanese-Americans received reparations for being in those internment camps. The Natives get land, Tax breaks, Grants, Cash payouts and casinos. No other racial group of people has built a country via slavery, Went through the injustice of Jim Crow laws, Suffered through the Black Codes, Has been stripped of their heritage/language, Has been purposely targeted by race warrior police officers and has had their neighborhoods Redlined or purposely destroyed. . . The bigotry of white people is 100% hypocritical because whites are the ones who created, Practiced and benefited from the injustice, Which can't be refuted. Black people never received free land via the Headright System & Homestead Act, Never received the benefits of the G. I. Bill despite fighting in every American war, Never discriminated against someone over skin complexion and has never received a free lifestyle for doing absolutely nothing. . . But whites are the same people who will say that "You Need To Pull Yourselves Up by Your Bootstraps. " So, The next time you people travel through a random neighborhood that isn't ideal, Just no that Black people didn't get 50 acres of land per every adult for free. Blacks didn't get another 50 acres of land per ownership of every slave, Which speaks volumes. Thanks for the discussion

You said: "That ridiculous statement alone is illogical sir. " You can't just claim it's illogical, You have to explain why it's illogical or it stands. You obviously don't know what a false dichotomy is. I said "racial disparity can't be bought away. " Then you said: "So, Why is there racial disparity in the US? " This question is implying that racial disparity wouldn't exist if it could be bought away. Which in logic language amounts to: A or B A=Racial disparity can't be bought away B=There is no racial disparity in the US. This is not a true dichotomy because the terms are not mutually exclusive. A true dichotomy looks like this: A or Not A A= Racial disparity can't be bought away. Not A= Racial disparity cannot be bought away. You said: "How can you create a proper solution when you haven't even identified the cause? " In this hypothetical situation, We couldn't, Which means that your solution would be wrong as well. In the real world, We do know the cause, But your solution has been proven by virtue of demonstration that it doesn't work. You're the one with the burden of proof here. It's your claim. You think pinpointing the right time is easy. But you've shown no evidence. You just posited your opinion on when the best starting point would be. That's vacuous. Even if you could find a good starting point, You'd still have to prove that you claim is true. Which you haven't. Oh, So you refused to answer my question! I'll pose it again. "If I give minorities a bunch of money, Does that stop discrimination? " Just in case you decide to answer, I'll just answer it for you and if you refuse then at least people will have seen it. The answer is no it does not, Because people's bigotry is not contingent upon one's pocket book (Unless it's a classist. ) Your floor. Try not to leak your blood all over it.
It's Time For America To Pay Its Debt of Reparations

The very first thing my opponent said is "reparations will not solve any problems. " Did you not say that? If not, Then scroll back up a few notches to refresh your memory. That ridiculous statement alone is illogical sir. Your next misstep claimed that I created a false dichotamy, But you haven't even realized that I'm actually quoting exactly what you stated which is"Racial disparity can not simply be bought away. " Once again. . . Did you not say that? If not, Then scroll back up to the fifth sentence of your first argument to refresh your memory. . . Since racial disparity can't be bought away then why would say that? Hmmm. You said "the reason we have racial disparity in the US is because we haven't perfected a proper solution. " My question to you is "how can you create a proper solution when you haven't even identified the cause? " You seem to not understand cause & effect. . . Seems to me that you're tripping over your own words. Let's examine the cause: Racial disparity (the system) in America was constructed by whites to hinder black people's progression. You can't expect one group of people to catch up when the other group has a 400 year head start. Whites caused the issue & anyone who immigrates to the US & benefits will have to pay. One-time cash payout? Did the fake Jews or the Natives get a one-time cash payout? It's going to take generation to reach that trillion-dollar mark. This includes liquid capital, Land, Grants & tax exemption. Pinpointing the people is easy. Any black (immigrant) who came after the Civil Rights Act opened the doors do not qualify. . . Where the money is dispersed & how it's spent won't include your authority. You just worry about all of the freebies that whites have received because we all know who's the biggest welfare case in history.

You said: "You actually can't make a point because you don't have a logical argument" Okay. So instead of producing logical counterpoints to my argument, You make a baseless claim that I'm not being logical and then make no attempt to prove it. I think we see who the real hypocrite is here. You said: "I don't even have to state what happened when they received the $12 million. Do you see the hypocrisy? " No hypocrisy here. I don't think they should have gotten it either. My argument was that we improve the current state of affairs instead of tryin to throw bandages on everything. You said: "You said that "racial disparity can't be bought away. " So, Why is there racial disparity in the US? " Hehe. Talk about being illogical. You just created a false dichotamy "Mr. Logic". It's not (Buy it away or racial disparity) It's (Buy it away or Don't Buy it away). The fact that racial disparity can't be bought away say nothing about what the real solution to the problem is. The reason we have racial disparity in the US, Is become we haven't perfected a proper solution. This actually proves my point. We've tried reparations and it doesn't work, So now we have more evidence for my claim. Thanks. Lets unpack my previous claims. Reparations will not solve any problems. Cash injections are nice. They might even make things look good for a while, But if the system around the people being help is working against them, They'll eventually run out of money through the generations. So it's just a band aide. The system around us has to be improved. That's the only way. The Events date too far back. There is no way to pinpoint exactly which people were oppressed. Not every minority was born into poverty. In fact, The disparity has been shrinking more quickly as time goes on. This would indicate that the reparations are not necessary. The money would be better spent. Any economist will tell you that the best investment is the one that accrues value. Investing in band aids will yield a low accruement. Investing in changes to the system will yield accruement for generations to come. Cannot be bought away. I pose a question. If I give minorities a bunch of money, Does that stop discrimination? My answer is no. If yours is not, Then you'll have to pose a logical argument as to why. As long as there's discrimination, There will always be disparity. I would suggest in the next round that you don't quibble of what your opponent says. You are not the arbiter of what counts as logic. If you want to dismiss my points, Do it by posing counterpoints or you will just make yourself look weak. Your floor.
It's Time For America To Pay Its Debt of Reparations

My opponent said that he'll address my points in the next round. You actually can't make a point because you don't have a logical argument. I specifically said to bring a (Logical) argument in which you have not and the racist-belief comment holds no weight what-so-ever so maybe you'd want to try a new angle. Now I'm going to breakdown your lack or argument. I can basically end this one-sided debate by saying that Israel should've denied those reparations that it has been receiving since 1952. . . Better yet, Maybe the Native Americans shouldn't be getting their reparations either. As you stated earlier, "that dates too far back. " Did you not say that? You also said that reparations won't solve any problems. Sir, The definition of reparation means to repair. . . Did you know that 25% of Israeli families were living below the poverty line recently? Are you aware that Obama paid $12 million to these people and they're not even Americans? I don't even have to state what happened when they received the $12 million. Do you see the hypocrisy? You said that "racial disparity can't be bought away. " So, Why is there racial disparity in the US? Better yet, Wasn't it whites who created/constructed the racial disparity in America?
