Europeans are superior to everyone else.

Thank you my opponet for your response. Once again, my opponent has not supported anything he said in this round as well as last round. Now he needs to prove that European knowledge and technology are everywhere. And if this is true, there is probably a good reason, because their knowledge and technology is superior."this system is totally unfair, because this makes Europeans think that they should have more power than everyone else, which led to African slavery in the U.S. in the 1800 and 1900's."The BOP is on my opponent to prove both of these things."Shouldn't everyone's opinion's count?"I have already addressed this, everybody's opinion should count but that does not mean that Europeans are not superior to everyone else.Also, my opponent has not addressed any of my arguments; just added new ones
Europeans are superior to everyone else.

Sorry I made a mistake I am not really pro but I will argue in favor of it to challenge myself. Good luck to my opponent. The BOP is on my opponent that G-d exists and that He created everyone equally. In additon, the opinions of them should not matter more than anyone else, but that does not mean they are not superior to everyone else. For example, just because someone has a better debate Elo ranking doesn't mean their opinion should be heard more than someone else, but it does mean he is a better debater. I also ask my opponent what exactly does he mean by superior? Like sports, work, looks?
Anyone but Obama in 2012

My opponent has not refuted any of the arguements. He has not shown how Hitler, nor Stalin wound be better options than Obama in 2012. This could have been very easy for him, since both Hitler and Stalin are dead, electing them would put the VP in charge, which was left open. My opponent could have slipped Ron Paul as the VP, and so get to argue that Ron Paul would be better than Obama. Or, he could have argued that a corpse, that would technically pocket veto everything, would shrink the size of the federal government and argue that that is good according to libertarian or conservative beliefs for government. However, he did not. Since all my points went un-refuted, despite being fairly simple to get around, they all hold. Thank you,
Anyone but Obama in 2012

But obummer lies! He hasn't shown his grades from college or where he was born. He was really born in kenya! Obummer sucks. Plain view! Your a stupid liberal! This whole site is full of them. My friends on yahoo answers told me this and they were right. Yahoo answers is alot better than this site! Yahoo answers taught me real views and how to be a better person and about the lies about obama. YOU LIE!
Anyone but Obama in 2012

My opponent has dropped the Hitler side so those points move on. Stalin's policies, while not putting putting the country into debt, resulted in the deaths of millions of his own citizens, many murdered by the government itself. A continuation policies later resulted in a total collapse of the USSR. While some might argue that a collapse of the US federal government resulting in 50 independent states, would be a good thing, this is not what my opponent argued, and it is certainly not worth the millions of deaths that came with it. He has still not provided what ethical measuring stick he chooses to use. With that, I turn this back over to him for his final round.
Anyone but Obama in 2012

Well it is because Stalin hasn't damage the country with his ways in econ anyway while obama has. We owe 4 billion to china alone. I will be truthful and say it isn't just his fault. It it bush as well but he all ready has spent more than bush has. Stalin never put his country in that much debt but he was not prefect. Infact he is insane and one of the worst men ever.But he wasn't as bad as Obummer. BTW i learn my debate skills and got my facts from yahoo answers!
Anyone but Obama in 2012

My opponent gives no reasoning as to why Stalin would be a better option. He says that Stalin and Obama are the same (I would be willing to argue that they are not, both in reality and in policy, but that can be for a different debate), if they are the same (as my opponent suggested), then one is not a better option then the other. Based on that alone, but opponent concedes the debate. But I will still address the Hitler comments. My opponent seems to believe that universal healthcare is worse than holocaust/attempted world domination/aggresive racism. I ask my opponent what moral measuring stick is he using to reach that conclusion? I would also like to ask for proof that Obama is a racist of significant degree (meaning actually holding that one race is superior and should be promoted above others). As such, the deaths of over 40 million people as direct results of Hitler's policies and the theft of billions of dollars from Jewish citizens to help fund their wars outweigh the universal health care that Obama managed to pass in 99.99% of moral systems.
Ultimate Team War: Super Thunderdome

TEAM DRAFTERMANMEMBER ONE: Pre-infection SylarOne of the primary antagonists of the television series, "Heroes." Has the innate ability to "determine exactly how things work"[1] which he has been able to use to permanently copy the abilities of others. While he originally had to inspect his victims brains, he eventually learned to copy powers through proximity.Prior to his infection, he had the following abilities:1. Intuitive aptitude2. Telekinesis3. Able to cause objects to shatter4. Freezing5. Melting6. Enhanced hearing7. Precognition8. Induced radioactivityAll abilities will be used in accordance with their depiction in the series, either directly by Sylar, or by their original owner. Note: While power 8 can be used to an extent similar to a small yield nuclear bomb, without harming the owner, this power will be voluntarily handicapped to be in compliance with #3 ("wiping anything out").[1] http://heroeswiki.com...MEMBER TWO: Series T-X model TerminatorA combination of T-1000 mimetic polyalloy exterior with the Series 900 endoskeleton. These Terminators are "stronger, faster, more intelligent, and more deadly than any of Skynet's other battle units."[2] The T-X is highly resistant to damage, capable of amazing feats of strength, has multiple onboard weapon systems.Note: Its nanotechnology (capable of taking over other electronic devices) will be disabled for this battle in compliance with #4.[2] http://terminator.wikia.com...MEMBER THREE: CloakCloak's body is a portal to the "Darkforce Dimension," a world of strange ebony energy. Cloak is linked to a pocket realm of that dimension dominated by the Predator, which compels Cloak to absorb the life forces of other beings. [3]Cloak has the following abilities:1. Generate fields of darkness; induces cold and fear in affected people2. Teleportation3. IntangibilityNote: Cloak's intangibility will be limited only to physical contact. Energy-based attacks will harm him.[3] http://marvel.com...MEMBER FOUR: XyrkonXyrkon is an Undead Lich from the "Order of the Stick" web comic. He is a very high powered spell-caster, able to go toe-to-toe with epic level casters, even when they are boosted by divine forces. [4]Note: While he cannot be completely destroyed without first destroying his Phylactery, complete destruction of his body nevertheless puts him out of commission.[4] http://www.giantitp.com...MEMBER FIVE: Bat GremlinThis genetically modified gremlin can fly and has been infused with genetic sunblock, making it immune to the ill effects of sunlight[5][5] http://gremlins.wikia.com...
Ultimate Team War: Super Thunderdome

NOTE: I OFFICIALLY FORFEIT THIS ROUND AS NOT TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF MY OPPONENT. I WILL HENCEFORTH USE THIS SPACE TO TROLL HIM.CLOAK vs. ICEMANAs stated, Cloak transports Iceman to whatever Dark Dimension and keeps him there. Slowly feasting off of his delicious, savory soul. Tastes like Italian Ice!XYKON vs. IRENICUS[see video]http://www.youtube.com...T-X vs. IRONMANXykon casts Sleep[1] on Ironman. T-X then uses her nanites to infect and take control of Ironman's armor. She controls the suit and forces Ironman to do the Chicken Dance until he the suit falls apart from physical wear and tear.[1] http://dnd-wiki.org...SYLAR vs. LUKESylar wears the top of Luke's skull as a hat and examines his brain to learn his abilities (see aformentioned links on Sylar). Sylar gains the following abilities: A desire to go to the Toshi station to pick up some power converters (but only after whining about it), Father issues, Sister issues.GREMLINS vs. KRATOSA quirk in the space-time continuum allows the Gremlins to finish breeding. All 14 billion Gremlins emerge from the lake. They quickly devour Kratos, leaving just a skeleton.GREMLINS vs. EVERYONE ELSEThe Gremlins then eat Ironman (sans suit), Luke, Sylar, and Irenicus. Cloak is intangible and Xykon is already a skeleton. They then die from starvation.XYKON vs. THE WORLDAs per his want, Xykon raises the dead corpses of the combatants into his own zombie army, leaves the Thunderdome, and conquers the world.
Ultimate Team War: Super Thunderdome

ICEMAN vs. CLOAK Iceman is now immune to the cold and fear. This is fine as Cloak just consumes/absorbs him. The Gremlins are now free to replicate using whatever water is remaining, which is probably more than enough.XYKON vs. EVERYONE Xykon is the epitomy of both preparedness and improvisation. He has already prepared and cast Dimensional Lock[1]. Irenicus cannot simply drop in on top of them, giving them a small buffer window of reaction time. The second the opposing team becomes visible (I assume any aggressive action dispells the effecT) Xykon casts Quickened[2] Mass Hold Person[3] and then follows up with a Chain Lightning[4]. Ironman takes the first bolt, then Luke, then Kratos, then Irenicus. The first bolt is full strength, all secondary bolts are half the strength of the first. [1] http://dnd-wiki.org...[2] http://dnd-wiki.org...[3] http://dnd-wiki.org...[4] http://dnd-wiki.org... SYLAR vs. LUKE While all visual canon depicts Jedi as needing to move in order to utilize their force abilities (to their full potential) Sylar nevertheless doesn't take any chances and keeps his distance and contents himself to simply remove the top of Luke's head, his signature move[1]. [1] http://heroeswiki.com... T-X vs. IRONMAN T-X initiates her assault with an EMP pulse, disrupting, if not out-right disabling Ironman's defenses and systems (what remains of them after being shot by lightning). She then follows up with a barrage of fire from her Plasma cannon, recharging as necessary. GREMLINS vs KRATOSThe gremlins that have replicated this turn (~100) fly back to the starting point and begin to chew the immobilized Kratos' face off.
Track and Field is the best sport there is

Firstly you questioned my men's health article which I need to address. You are correct it did have the fittest people in the world and not just the fittest athletes. Unfortunately this only makes the evidence more convincing given that track and field athletes were not the highest placed people. I also looked up your sources and was glad you pointed them out to me. Mr. Eaton whom you claim is the world's greatest athlete is actually not. Your entire basis for the winner of the decathlete being the greatest athlete of all time is a compliment a king gave to an athlete a hundred years ago. Here is the wikipedia article. (. http://en.wikipedia.org...) This is purely a tradition and supported by no scientific evidence. As for Jim Thorpe he was a professional baseball, basketball, and football player. He also participated in track and field as many other athletes do simply to train for their primary sports. More and more frequently now athletes are placing less value on track and field and merely participate to train for their preferred sports. This is increasingly prevalent in High School and College nowadays. Now to your basketball comments. March Madness is defined by many upsets but frankly that is just the process of figuring out which team is best. It is not about who has the most star players but who can consistently play hard and come out on top. Therefore I would argue that the best team is the team that wins regardless of whether it was an upset or not. As for your quotes saying track and field is superior I challenge you to watch any major basketball, soccer, or football sporting event to see that finding some quotes for any sport's superiority is not challenging and hardly evidence. As for the popularity debate, this one is pretty easily resolved. Googling "world's most popular sport" will give you several results based on television views and people attending major events. Here are the top five results. (. http://www.sporteology.com...)(http://mostpopularsports.net...)(http://wiki.answers.com...)(http://listdose.com...)(http://www.clicktop10.com...)Soccer tops each list. The reason that soccer is not the most popular Olympic event is because the Olympic will allow no players over the age of 25 in order to stand apart from the world cup. Your argument that without track and field other sports would not exist is absurd. Swimming, fishing, and hunting were all established in the same time period if not before. Gymnastics was also popular in China as early as 2000 BC. This is easily confirmed by looking at the history portion of this wikipedia page (. http://en.wikipedia.org...)As for your rebuttal of my pinnacle of human achievement argument this hardly applies as my sources clearly claim it is very possible it has already been reached in many events. Conclusion: It is very bold to say track and field is the best sport and I believe I have provided sufficient evidence that it is false. I have very much enjoyed this debate though, so thank you for an engaging and interesting argument.
Track and Field is the best sport there is

While track and field is a prestigious sport with a rich history it lost its status as the best sport long ago. In order to succeed I must provide reasonable evidence that any sport in the world is better than track and field. Because “best” is a very vague term I will provide evidence that there are sports that require more athleticism, more skill, are more popular, and are more difficult overall. Athleticism and Skill While it takes great athleticism to be a track and field player it is questionable whether it takes more than other sports. A variety of reliable websites have compiled lists of the greatest athletes of all time. Unfortunately the only two track and field athletes to make it into the top ten were Usain Bolt and a man named Rafer Johnson. They were each only on one of the lists once and neither placed better than sixth. (http://bleacherreport.com...) (http://bleacherreport.com...) (http://www.thetoptens.com...) Compare to… And according to ESPN the toughest sport in the world is boxing. (http://sports.espn.go.com...)-may have to copy and paste this link This shows that when comparing the best athletes of each sport Track and Field athletes just can’t win. It is extremely difficult to compare training and practices as they vary when it comes to team and athlete. Basically track and field athletes spend years mastering one skill whether it is sprinting, hurdling, or discus. Other more popular sports all take years to master as well but they require the athlete to become familiar with hundreds of facets of each sport to truly be successful at it. Popularity In terms of viewers “The FIFA World Cup is the world's most widely viewed sporting event”. (http://www.fifa.com...) “Super Bowl XLVIII was the largest television audience in American history” (http://www.businessinsider.com...) My opponent is claiming that track and field is better than every other sport. Soccer football hockey basketball cricket rugby baseball softball volleyball tennis golf surfing biking martial arts wrestling MMA boxing horse riding fishing gymnastics skiing and literally hundreds more. Seriously. Look up list of sports on Wikipedia. Or use this link. (http://en.wikipedia.org...)-may have to copy and paste this link Several of these are better than track and field and many are equal to it, but that is irrelevant. All it takes is one sport being equal to track and field, or greater, and pro’s contention that track and field is the best sport is false. Back to you pro.

Second round will be for opening arguments, third will be for rebuttals, and fourth will be for final rebuttals/closing arguments. Some definitions: Sport- An activity involving physical exertion and skill that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often undertaken competitively. Best- Better than all others (any way can be used to prove this, I do not have to prove that it is better in every single way than every other sport, just that overall its benefits outweigh those of every other sport. This resolution will be decided upon by the voters) BOP is on both of us, but more on me than con. Thanks in advance to whoever accepts.
Students should be allowed to wear clothing with any political message they please.

Although I reminded twice that there would be no countering of my arguments until the third round, my opponent continued to counter me saying, "I want to drop the bias argument." But I'll excuse this.This bias argument is absolutely viable. Let me elaborate. Us Californians are known to be liberal. Almost everyone in my school dislikes Donald Trump. It's just a mindset people have. Again, my example is hypothetical, but based on rational logic. The Fresno school district says that they won't tolerate clothing that causes a change to their school climate. Now (and this is hardly refutable) the same hate simply is not there against Hillary Clinton. It's very simple logic, and is absolutely reasonable. Clinton causes no commotion, not banned. Trump causes a commotion, banned. Who loses their freedom of speech? The Trump supporter. Bias? Absolutely.If you choose to ignore this very reasonable hypothetical situation, the same could be said of your examples. "I want to remind everyone that my stance in this debate is to put limitations on what students wear."My argument is NOT to allow for students to wear any clothing they desire. Let me address this next quote:"Someone has the opportunity to wear a message that involves swear words or even sexual content which is inappropriate for the view of students."Now my claim does not give leeway for students to wear inappropriate clothing such as the ones you stated. If a student comes in wearing a shirt with a nude lady on it, or a dismembered baby, of course the child should remove the shirt. But that kind of political statement is not the type I am defending. The Trump one is one I would defend. The 9 year old (which was not made up, it was a real situation) was ordered to remove his Trump hat even though he was outside of the classroom! I'm not arguing that swear words should be allowed on clothing in school.Other messages should be allowed. By the way, feelings aren't to be sacrificed for the rights of others. If a student threatens another with the words they express, of course that shouldn't be allowed. But if we shield kids from stating their thoughts, and from stating their opinions just because they are "disruptive", how are we preparing them for the future?
Students should be allowed to wear clothing with any political message they please.

To start off, I want to drop the bias argument because not only did my opponent not offer evidence for the "Make America Great Again" hat, they also didn't provide evidence for the fact that a student wouldn't be called out for wearing a Clinton shirt, meaning we don't know if a student would be instructed to take off attire that expressed such political messages. I want to remind everyone that my stance in this debate is to put limitations on what students wear. I don't want to deny student's right to freedom of speech, but vulgar attire could be exposed to students on school grounds which brings me to my first on case argument. 1. Vulgar clothing and/or accessories K-12 schools usually have a dress code. Used for things like safety. Safety's interpretation is usually physical safety. But it could also be used as mental safety. Without limitations on political messages expressed for K-12 students, students could wear political messages that could trigger a sense of unsafety in a school. Imagine having a muslim student in your class. One day, you come into class, you see the muslim student, and right next to them is a person wearing a shirt that says: Kill the muslims before they kill us. The muslim student wouldn't feel safe to go to that school anymore. Other messages such as: Feminists suck, or Gay isn't natural could be emotional triggers and harms the mental health of our students. Things like, Dump Trump is different because it isn't as influential to mental health since it's such a broad statement, and doesn't target people in the way other messages do. I think you get the point. Although this article isn't about attire, keep in mind use of these beliefs incorporated in clothing still affects students. . https://newrepublic.com... In conclusion, the right to wear any political statement makes a school environment unsafe for learners. 2. Inappropriate statements This one is pretty self-explanatory, the right to wear any kind of political statement allows students to have the ability to wear things that are inappropriate for school grounds. Let me give two examples of inappropriate. a. If someone wears an anti abortion t shirt, they have the opportunity to wear a picture of a dead baby on their t shirt which is completely unacceptable for people in the K-12 portion of their life, or in general. b. Someone has the opportunity to wear a message that involves swear words or even sexual content which is inappropriate for the view of students. "Sexual content? How is that tied into political messages? " Someone may want to have a message about things like women's rights and therefore could wear a picture of body exposure on their attire. My argument isn't about denying freedom of speech, but the political message students want to enforce could be in a more appropriate manner, and we need to protect our students. Keep in mind that my argument isn't about attire from the left or right wing. I look forward to the next round.
Students should be allowed to wear clothing with any political message they please.

1. The First Amendment gives the right for any citizen to have the liberty of freedom of speech.The Constitution states that there is to be no law, "abridging the freedom of speech" of citizens. Public schools must abide by governmental regulations and standards, and Constitutional rights apply to every single student in their schools. There should be no trifling of the rules to fit the wants of certain people who may be offended by certain political attire.2. By drawing a line where something becomes "disruptive" to schools or "changes their school climate", there comes into play a sort of bias.A 9-year-old boy wore a "Make America Great Again" hat to his school in Fresno, California. Now, California is known to be strongly liberal, and the hat wasn't taken lightly by other students. After three days, the boy was instructed to remove his hat, as other kids were constantly confronting him about it. The district said, "It is...our responsibility to take precautions when the discourse begins to impact our school climate and interrupt school operations".The problem here is that if a student had come in wearing a Clinton hat, they would not have "interrupted school operations" (which the district exaggerated) and absolutely no doubt would the student not have had to remove their hat. Why should one student be instructed to remove their Clinton hat, but another not to remove their MAGA hat? Why should one student's liberty and right be sacrificed for the sake of the feelings of another?Thanks for accepting. Just a reminder, no countering until the third round please :D
