"Rockman" Is a Better Name than "Mega Man"

I must disagree with my opponent on this. "Mega Man" is a far better name than "Rockman".For anyone who may not know about the Mega Man game series, it's a run and gun, 2-D, side-scrolling platformer. Mega Man is a humanoid boy robot, created by Dr. Light, to fight Dr. Wily's robots and put a stop to his evil schemes.Other than background music, which almost every game has, the Mega Man games have absolutely no relevance to music, and so there's no reason to use a musical theme for the characters. Roll, "Rocks" sister, while briefly appearing at the end of the first game, isn't introduced by name until the third installment of the game series. The rest of the supporting characters following the musically named theme don't appear until the third installment, or even later in the series. This leaves the play on words unimplemented, and makes the name "Rockman" completely irrelevant. [1]"Mega Man", however, is a very well fitting name and regardless of Joseph Morici's reasoning, he made an excellent decision by changing the name to "Mega Man". While it's true that mega can simply mean "Large" or "Vast", it can also mean "Of the highest level of rank, excellence, or importance". [2]This fits in excellently with the name scheme of the enemy robots such as Cut Man, Ice Man, and Bomb Man. A short relation to the type of "Man" that robot is. Similarly, "Mega Man" is an extraordinary robot, surpassing Dr. Wily's robots by learning their own abilities. Not only does that relate him to the other robots, but it does it in a way that separates him as the hero, by saying he's something more than the rest.As for South Park using the name "Mega Man", I honestly don't see why that matters. Generic or not, it's still a better fit for the game.Sources: [1] http://en.wikipedia.org...[2] http://www.merriam-webster.com...
"Rockman" Is a Better Name than "Mega Man"

In 1987, Capcom created a video game series known as Rockman[1]. Its characters were given names based on music, such as Rock, Roll, Blues, Beat, and Tango. When brought overseas, the name of the series was changed to Mega Man by Joseph Morici, simply because he thought it was better[2].The name Mega Man invalidates the musical theme the creators intended. Plus, the word "Mega" would also imply that the character is large, even though the character actually resembles a small boy[3]. Finally, the name Mega Man is so generic that it was coincidentally used in South Park as the name of a line of toys unrelated to the video games[4].The only reason anybody uses the name Mega Man is because that's what they've been calling him for the past 26 years. It's simply not a good name in comparison to Rockman. 1: http://en.wikipedia.org...2: http://www.rockman-corner.com...3: http://goo.gl...4: http://www.southparkstudios.com...
The Meaning of Life

So you say what if a father has deluded himself to believe that fatherhood is the meaning of life? What I ask is what if he's a rubbish father and believes to be an abusive father is the meaning of life? By offering no rational meaning of life the father could merely wake up and think being a woman is his meaning of life and go be a tranny and then decide that suicide is the meaning of life, since death is the only thing uniting all living beings and I really didn't understand the rest of your argument because it all revolved around this idea that there is a benefit to deluding oneself to a meaning of life.What possible outcome can searching for a non-existent answer bring? Really?You said that finding the sequence to prime numbers is worthless if one has no meaning of life but I argue that a meaning of life doesn't exist and the best one can do with their life is be useful to others, such as by finding a mind-blowing sequence. So really the contention is self-destructive.Just because we exist to worship God (according to Christians) doesn't take away the irony of the fact that God gave us the intelligence to question the very reason for it.Really, if you say one can delude themselves to believe being a father is a good idea then how is one to know if being a suicide bomber is not? Having no logic behind the meaning of life is VERY dangerous.
The Meaning of Life

I gladly accept your challenge. Seeing as this is my first debate, I hope to learn a lot from this. To be clear, I will argue that the lives of everybody and everything have meanings to them, though the meaning of life to one person may not necessarily be the same as the meaning of life to another. RationalMadman will argue that any meaning of life is flawed, if I am not mistaken.To be clear of the layout of the debate, the second round may be used for opening statements; I will not offer rebuttals in the second round. Rounds three and four may be used for rebuttals; new arguments may be presented in these rounds. Round five may be used for rebuttals, summaries, and a conclusion to the debators' arguments. No new arguments may be presented in the last round. The burdain of proof is shared between pro and con. Good luck in advance. I wil allow my opponent to present his opening statement.
God isn't real. there is so much proof

Lmao how do people still believe that god is real? "A being of power in the sky". yea right. There is so much proof disproving the bible. Evolution has been proved. It has been proved Jesus couldn't have turned water into wine. Then there are the dumbasses who believe in children's stories like "Noah's Ark." 1. A boat that big could not have fit 2 of every type of animal that live today. 2. There was no big flood according to the Egyptians, as well as any other tribe living there when there was a "big flood." finally there is no actual proof of god, just evidence against it.
The PS3 Is A Better Console Than The Xbox 360.

"The Xbox obviously has more games so therefore it has more gameplay. " My opponent has failed to realize the PS3 has FULL backwards compatibility Yes, you can play the original Teken for PS1. My opponent named 3 games: 1. Oblivion 2. Halo 3- unlimited gameplay if you play online 3. Assasin's Creed My response: 1. Oblivion is heading to the PS3, Here is what 1up. com has to say: "The game will introduce a new faction to the Oblivion world, one that's available right at the beginning called Knights of the Nine and described by the developers as "the good Dark Brotherhood. " The goal here is to become the Divine Crusader (think part warrior, part priest), and the quest features new locations, characters, armor and weapons. " So Oblivion will be BETTER on the PS3. You know how Obvlivion has long loading screens? PS3 has faster processing which means those long waits are gone! 2. I'm afraid i don't understand the meaning of "Unlimited Gameplay if you play online". .. I guess i could counter that with: Resistance fall of mankind - unlimited gameplay if you play online 3. And again, assassin's creed is for PS3 as well, no difference sadly enough, besides slightly better graphics for the PS3 due to faster processing and a better Graphics processor. And by the way, you can turn off the motion sensor if you feel like it. My opponent has failed to present a reason as to why the Xbox 360 is better than the PS3 therefor i win this debate. Vote Labrat228! Lets review: My opponents statments: "You can play the Blue-ray DVDs on a nonHD TV, but it won't have much better graphics. " - So the Graphics will still be better on a non-HDtv "I will admit the PS3 has slightly better graphics than the 360 , but I don't care how much better Sergeant Hale looks in comparison to Master Chief. " - So obviously my opponent knows it has better Graphics, and according to him, that's what matters.
The PS3 Is A Better Console Than The Xbox 360.

You can play the Blue-ray DVDs on a nonHD TV, but it won't have much better graphics. BY the gameplay comment it is not just one game that I was refering to. The Xbox obviously has more games so therefore it has more gameplay. But I will list some games for you. Oblivion Halo 3- unlimited gameplay if you play online Assasin's Creed Plus XboxLive Arcade offers tons more gameplay and tons of great games. And I get way to into my games to use a motion sensetive controller. If I move the controller I dont want my car to go flying off screen.
The PS3 Is A Better Console Than The Xbox 360.

Thank you for accepting my challenge Alexbates. I wont deny that games are the most important aspect, but you must realize that they are not the only aspect. And the bluray feature doesn't require an HDtv, for the first 2 months of me owning my PS3 it was on a simple Philips Magnavox from the early 90's. "The Xbox has more hours of gameplay" A. Name One Game With More Hours And I Will Name A Game To Beat It. B. Not really possible because of the fact that The dvd's that the Xbox uses has 9gb Total memory when the Bluray Disk has 50gb of memory. "I will admit the PS3 has slightly better graphics than the 360 , but I don't care how much better Sergeant Hale looks in comparison to Master Chief." Sounds like my opponent is arguing for me now. How about the controllers? Does the 360 have motion sensors much like the Nintendo Wii? Nope! Does the PS3 have motion sensors much like the Nintendo Wii? YES!!
The PS3 Is A Better Console Than The Xbox 360.

The Xbox 360 and PS3 are meant to be gaming systems. Therefore the most important aspect of these consoles is the games itself. Xbox 360 has many more notable and sucessful titles than the PS3. Since it has more great titles it provides more hours of entertaining gameplay. You could finish playing the sucessful PS3 titles in a week or so. Since the XBox has more hours of gameplay it would be worth more and since it is cheaper than the PS3, it is a better value because you would play it more. Also the Blue-ray disc feature on the PS3 requires a HDTV for it to be of any use. So you would have to pay and extra 1000 dollars or so to be able to even use such a feature. I will admit the PS3 has slightly better graphics than the 360 , but I don't care how much better Sergeant Hale looks in comparison to Master Chief. The XBox is a much better GAMING system with much better games.
Apartheid

Definitions: Apartheid: racial segregation; specifically : a former policy of segregation and political and economic discrimination against non-European groups in the Republic of South Africa Racism: poor treatment of or violence against people because of their race http://www.merriam-webster.com... http://www.merriam-webster.com... Apartheid in the Afrikaans language means "apartness" or separateness . This term was first used as a name for the official policy of the National Party in 1948. Before the use of Apartheid racial segregation, by law was widely practiced. The Group Areas Act of 1950 established residential and business sectors based of "race". This also strengthened the existing laws that required "non-whites" to travel without identification card. Other Laws forbade social contact between those of European decent and those of other nationalities. They established separate education systems, reduced number of "non-white" labor unions, denied any "non-white" participation in the national government, also the government created a series of black African "Homelands", they were partly self governing but economically it depended on the South African Government. These homelands were not recognized by international governments. Apartheid was always treated as internal criticism, and led to many violent protests, strikes, and acts of sabotage. So you see how unjust this system of Apartheid was. The South African National police did terrible atrocities against non-blacks and people who supported them. Apartheid as I said was seen as an internal issue, if anything like Apartheid happened again today it would be considered a humanitarian issue and would probably cause foreign countries to take action. The people who settled in South Africa did fight hard for their land but I do not think that gives them an excuse to do what they did.

Existence of "The Force"

My opponent is dwelling on phrase of my argument, which is not relevant to his argument. He is trying to make me sound like I am agreeing with him, when this is not the case at all. I was stating that humans, as ANYTHING in this world, has ENERGY. A pen sitting in front of you has potential gravitational energy, so all I was saying is that humans have energy within them, not a force such as the "Force". My opponent has showed obvious evidence that an energy such as the "Force" may exsist. Exist, he defined "Force" as "an energy that flows through us all." He has mentioned this Odic Force, or Chi, which takes much skill and practice to harness and manipulate. In this simple breakdown of his argument, it is obvious that this Chi does not "flow through us all", only through those who know how to manipulate it. Of course all the ingredients are there in the average human body to possibly use this Chi ("Force"), not all of us humans know how to use it. In conclusion, my opponent has provin something that already exists, which is Chi, however not shown a universal "Force" that flows through us all, as he defined in the beginning of this debate.
Existence of "The Force"

My opponent has again contradicted himself: "Sure, energy does flow through us all, we are pulsing with it as humans." This one statement my opponent has agreed that there is in fact energy that flows through us all. Scientifically various names have been to this energy. Bio Electricity for example Biological cells use bio electricity to store metabolic energy, to do work or trigger internal changes, and to signal one another. Bio electromagnetism is the electric current produced by action potentials along with the magnetic fields they generate through the phenomenon of electromagnetism. "All living things run on Bio electricity" International Journal of Bio electromagnetism. According to the Law of conservation of Energy Energy cannot be created or destroyed merely transformed. Orgone energy is a term coined by psychoanalyst Wilhelm Reich in the late 1930s for a proposed universal creative substratum in nature, compared by his follower Charles R. Kelley to Mesmer's animal magnetism, the Odic force of Carl Reichenbach and Henri Bergson's ï¿½lan vital.[1]. Odic Force : As von Reichenbach was investigating the manner in which the human nervous system could be affected by various substances, he was led to conceive the existence of a new force allied to electricity, magnetism, and heat, a force which he thought was radiated by most substances, and to the influence of which different persons are variously sensitive. He named this vitalist concept Odic force. Proponents say that Odic force permeates all plants, animals, and humans. Reichenburg was a notable chemist, geologist, metallurgist, naturalist, industrialist and philosopher, and a member of the prestigious Prussian Academy of Sciences In China the force is commonly known as Chi, here is a link to a study done in china where the Chi or "Force" of a Qi Gong master was measured using scientific techniques http://www.scribd.com... This study concluded that this Master was able to create a massive electro-static charge in his body when he was manipulating this Chi or "Force" it also concluded that he could alter and emitt at will infrared radiation. in a further study it was shown that other masters could cause movement in small object at distances of up to 25 feet and that the radiation they emitted at will could be measured over one hundred yards away. Dr. Yang Jwing-Ming " There is no set deffinition of Chi in medicine there is debate weather it is electrical or magnetic but there is no doubt it exists and can be measured" Dr. Yang Jwing-Ming Closing: I have shown here more than just a few random belief systems I have shown physical evidence in the form of Bio-Electricity. For thousands of years man has sought a connection with a greater energy a connective "Force" that binds all living things. It has had many names throughout history. Prana, God, Muhammad, Chi, Qi these concepts are based largely in physical evidence.
Existence of "The Force"

Haha, well clearly my opponent does not understand my stance. If you read further than just the second sentence of my stance, I clearly state that an energy such as the "Force" does not flow through us, in any way. So, to clarify, I am not in agreement that an energy such as the "Force" flows through us, simply because there is no such thing as the "Force". It is completely hypothetical, having no scientific base what-so-ever. The "Force" is a simple belief in something, and Jedi ism is a religion that has its teachings based around the "Force" and what it is. This is a personal belief, and has shown nothing to prove the existence of a "Force". In summary, my opponent believes there is a "Force" but has shown no solid, convincing prove that it does truly exist in the physical world.
Existence of "The Force"

My opponent stated in his opening "Sure, energy does flow through us all, we are pulsing with it as humans." This is a clear admission that there is an energy that flows through us all From my opening statement: I will show that the Force defined for this debate as "an energy that flows through us all" exists. As defined in the above statement opening the debate we are in agreement that it does exist. My opponent relies on the Movie version of the Jedi religion for his view of "The Force" however when we look into the actual Religion of Jedi ism the force is defined simply as The Force is an energy field that is generated by all living things and permeates the universe and all things in it. From: JediSanctuary.org
Existence of "The Force"

This will be short and sweet. My opponent feels that the "Force" exists, according to the Jedi religion. This "Force" flows through us all. This is simply not true in reality. The "Force" is a made up energy in the Star Wars saga. Sure, energy does flow through us all, we are pulsing with it as humans. However, an energy source such as the "Force" does not. Why does the force not exist? I don't see many people grabbing things from fifty feet away by thinking about it. I don't see many people walking outside and lifting any kind of objects into the air by using their hands from a distance. Yes, it would be really cool if that happened. But, it doesn't. Thank you, and I await my opponents response.
Batman is terrible at hand to hand combat.

Thank you. You say he has no powers and that he just relies on his strength and wits. I find that faulty though. If you don't consider those powers, what is it? That most certainly is power.The definition of power is as followed: power- 1. the ability to do something or act in a particular way, especially as a faculty or quality. 2. the capacity or ability to direct or influence the behavior of others or the course of events. Is it not? You do not need your powers to come from something else (i.e; a spider (spiderman), something going wrong in a lab (Hulk), or another planet (Superman ). Power is power regardless. Batman is indeed powerful. Defeat has happened to every DC superhero before. Does not necessarily mean he is weak. Finding their opponents weak point is essential.
Batman is terrible at hand to hand combat.

Batman has been beaten in hand to hand numerous times before.A child could beat him easily. (Conner Hawke before his coma)People like Lady Shiva, Bane, and even Hush (Just by cutting his rope) beat BatmanI sincerely hope that you actually read comics and dont use movies as reference.Most of Batmans enemies have beaten him before actually.Batman could be destroyed by Catwoman if she tried.Bruce Wayne has no powers at all, he relies on his wits and not his strength to fight.Just recently when Batman fought Deathstroke he needed Harley Quinn to help him survive. Batman is not a good martial artist, yes he might be able to fight a gang of thugs once or twice, but he is no match to other dc martial artists
Stalin was a worse person than Hitler

I believe Stalin was a worse person for the following reasons. In the Holocaust, Nazi's killed roughly 6 million people. However, roughly 20 million died in gulags under Stalin's rule (http://www.history.com...). Also, Stalin was in power much longer than Hitler, (1922-1952) a total of 30 years. Hitler was only in power for eleven. Stalin's power went mainly unchecked. One gulag was open for 16 years (http://w3.osaarchivum.org...) He also restrained freedom for his entire country, not just a certain ethnic group. (http://www.historylearningsite.co.uk...). Stalin also killed more of his own people, (https://www.hawaii.edu...), USSR citizens rather than Jews taken from neighboring countries.
God exists.

Pro presents the following facts to support the resolution: 1. People formed on earth. 2. Animals and people are both made of molecules. No elaboration of either of these arguments is given - it's not explained how either of these facts are relevant to the alleged existence of an omnipotent, omniscient, perfectly good being. In other words, my opponent has violated the principle of reasoning known as The Relevance Principle: "One who presents an argument for or against a position should attempt to set forth only reasons that are directly related to the merit of the position at issue. " [1] The above is sufficient to refute Pro's case. However, in order to more thoroughly refute him, I will provide alternative explanations for both of the facts cited that do not appeal to the existence of God. Fact 1 can be explained by the theory of evolution. Humans were formed by the process of natural selection as they evolved from earlier life forms. [2] Fact 2 can be explained by pointing out that all matter is made of molecules, so of course both humans and animals are made of molecules. Pro clearly has not met his burden of proof - hopefully he will make a stronger attempt in future rounds. [1] *Attacking Faulty Reasoning* by T. Edward Damer, fifth edition, p. 78 [2] *Why Evolution is True* by Jerry Coyne
Five nights at Freddy's is based on a true story

Now let's go over how the animatronics and victems are related. Foxy and golden Freddy: Bobby and Margaret seem to be related to Foxy and Golden Freddy. Bobby was shot in the jaw, and where is Foxy broken? The jaw. But Foxy is more aggressive than the others, and as manager, Margaret would need to be aggressive than the other workers. Now golden Freddy. To survive, Bobby had to pretend to be limp and lifeless to avoid Nathan coming back to finish the job. Which animatronic is limp and lifeless? Golden Freddy. Golden Freddy is the most mysterious than the others and appears to be the most seldom seen. Margaret would probably be seldom seen as manager since she would need to check stock and other things. Bonnie: Bonnie appears sometimes in the supply closet, filled with mops and brooms and other things. It appears as the most random room in the game, until you take in consideration that Ben was vacuuming at the time of the incident Chica: Sylvia was at the salad bar and closest to the bathroom, Chica walks past the bathroom and is closely related with food Freddy: There is not much that puts Freddy and Kolleen but it is interesting that Freddy appears in the girls bathroom, odd for a "boy". Maybe it's a reference to the fact that Kolleen was a girl, or to where Nathan had waited to attack. I know it doesn't refer to my argument but I want to point out that the second five nights at Freddy's took place in1987, the same year as the "bite of '87...
