Resolved: Vegeta, from "DragonBall Z", is the most badas* character

Broly: "Broly couldn't even control himself. His rage was uncontrollbable .Someone who is BadA someone who is that can control themself." First, rage is what make charaters powerful in the "dragonball" universe. How did Goku beome a super saiyan? "Goku achieves the form out of anger over the murder of his best-friend, Krillin, and Vegeta achieves the form through sheer frustration at his original inability to achieve it, especially over Goku." http://dragonball.wikia.com... Likewise with Broly, he didn't become a super saiyan because he was content but because he was full of rage, hence, you just noted a good thing about Broly. Also, I would like to note that you gave no example to your assertion. When did he lose his ability to control himself? I'd like to note that his fighting style requires the ability to control oneself. "Broly also has a tendency to toy with his victims" http://dragonball.wikia.com... "Broly also has a tendency to toy with his victims" http://www.rphaven.com... Now, if he can't control himself then how can he toy with his vitctims? He can't, in order to toy with someone you have to be in control. Broly is able to "toy" with his enemies. Therefore, Broly controls himself. Santa and Tony Montana: Just because Santa and Tony Montana aren't in the "Dragon Ball" universe that doesn't mean that they can't be more badas*. I request my opponent to show me where he had restricted the charaters.
gay marrige should be legalizzed

I thank my opponent for making the opening statement Vocabulary to get clear: 1. a legally, religiously, or socially sanctioned union of persons who commit to one another, forming a familial and economic bond:Anthropologists say that some type of marriage has been found inevery society, past and present. 2. the act of committing the act of committing, pledging, or engaging oneself. engagement; involvement: ex:They have a sincere commitment to religion. Marriage is a commitment pledging to each other,marriages fail in straight marriages as they do in gay-marriage but this isn"t a reason to bann gay marriage as little that it is to bann straight marriage.divorce rates have grown over time,but even knowing this amny coupels are ready to risk it all in marriage,if they get divorce they coud lose homes hafe to share everything they have but they are ready to risk it all because they sincerely belief that they are marring the love of there lifes . Sure there are people how only mary for money but it always has been like that so think about that why should to people that marry for money have more right to live together then a gay coupel how honestly love each other. So that"s my answer to my opponents Remarque that gay coupels shoud not get married because it is not real love. My opponent makes a Remarque that if marriage isn"t only for men and women we would have passed a point where it would be okay to marry almost anything. First do you really belief that ? In our society marriage without consent is Tabo ,so how is an animal,an object be supposed to marry each other .how are they even supposed to give their concept . I don"t now about you but I have never seen object talk or an other animal than humans.Of course there is a stopping point marriage is a signed it"s a document . Objects,animals and children (pedophilie) aren"t allowed to sign legal documents, so no we will not have people marring animals or objects. Marriage can only occur: between human adults that can sign a official document. Polygamie is acceptebel in other societies try to fashion marriage in a Christian manneris diminishing the other religions.laws shoud not be made according to religion. My opponent also makes a point that gay marriages shoud not be abel to adopt children .thats an other debate entirely the question of this debate is should gay coupels be abel to marry not adopt children. Sources:I will put the sources of all my claims in my final statement.

Resolved: Homeschooling should remain legal with minimal or no regulations

Exactly what do you propose to regulate? If you force parents to have teaching degrees to teach, that will severely limit the freedom of education. Where do you propose to regulate. I didn't say no regulations, I said few regulations. We should remove the nonsensical regulations. A case in point is the case in Massachusetts. There, a young girl was removed from her homeschooling situation and forced to attend public school. Why? Because the court stated that the parent's Christian beliefs were harmful influences on the child. So, what regulations do you propose???
Resolved: Homeschooling should remain legal with minimal or no regulations

Thank you for the debate. I appreciate the fact that my opponent is homeschooled, and I wish him the best of luck. I would like now to reiterate the resolution: "Homeschooling should remain legal with minimal or no regulations." In this, if I can persuade the public of either option of minimal or no regulations is not good enough, then I should theoretically win this debate. By not good enough, I mean not as benificial to the child's education. I disagree with my opponent when he says I must agrue that it is not beneficial and should be illegal. I believe all forms of education have value, but all must be regulated. CONTENTIONS: Since the age of man came about, there have been rules and structure to preform as a better species. Man-kind needs rules on all levels of functioning society in order to function at optimum levels, including home schooling. The USA is quickly falling in the educational system, and the government has been cracking down on public school's education for years. Even with the status quo rules of public schools, more must be done to improve their education. Home schooling is on a much more personal level, and adjusts to the pace of the student. However, just because it takes place in a more personal enviornment doesn't mean it should lose it's formalcy. Education is always a serious business, and must be maintained. It should be regulated not heavily, not lightly, but just how the situation calls for. With proper regulation that isn't too minimal, as my opponent wishes, or to heavy every home schooled student can thrive. The basis of regulation should be based on nessicity of education in a careful and well-intergrated way. For the reasons above, I thusly urge you to =VOTE CON=

Let me ask you one question, if you don't mind Then again, why does it matter to my surmise? It's not like you'll ever understand how to be kind With such poetic skill, you waste a lot of your time. You think weapons and venom are better than a tandem Swinging the pendulum harder than a baseball record You don't know these words, or how to understand em' You try to sound big and bad, when I am the cosmic wrecker. Mess with the bull; you get the horns; mess with the truth, you get the thorns Mess with the ****; you get the **** storm; mess with me, you get worn All you can do is insult me because you can't consult yourself, These words you think allow you to rain down in bullet shells, Where is your heart, your mind, your sense beyond your hell, You never could shape this world, does this ring any bells? You're too quick to compare me to something like a vacuum Did it ever occur to you that this was based on your mad cues Go relax, read some poetry, maybe masturbate with ice cubes Because your fire is flatulent compared to my passion's fumes When I fight, I'm not trying to prove myself; when I live my life, I'm not trying to lose myself. When I deal with animals like you that forget humanity; I tend to peel off your wool and insanity.

It's broken, interwoven, bleeding from its leaves That would explain the tangled "rhymes" that come forth from your hollow head For your words I waited with bated breath, but I digress This mess that bores me to death is all I'm ever gonna get This man has no wins and he dares to be this ambitious? His chance to win is like the dirt left after I've done the dishes So call me Mr. Clean, I'll make him bleed, leave him in stitches Says he's good with needles, well let's test that condition * "Die, Son" sounds like Dyson, a brand of Vacuum Cleaner, while "Dirt Devil" is also a brand of vacuum cleaner

Your brain got nothing on this brain of mine. I broke the Universe with every rhyme. You can try to break Us down with every word, but I'll always continue to break down the Universe along with every world. Try to make this cosmic boat sink by projecting your anger through your spite; I learned how to think through the passion that need not spit for it rides the tides! Try to use your guns to shoot holes through my ship with your bullets; I got the cosmic web I spun to shoot for the heavens because I have the wit! I don't use words that are inbred, that's for the colloquially illiterate; I thread everything through a needle because I am legitimate. - You can puncture me without living by the thorns, but I'll always punish parts of you that remain unborn; you can lecture me without living by the pages torn, but I'll always live the legacy because of the way I was born!

The Embargo with Cuba needs to be lifted.

I have decided not to post my final argument because I know when I've been beaten. I've read your argument and there is just simply no way I can compete with it. I've learned that I need to do more research on a subject before I say things that do not make any sense. I do not intend to disrespect you, nor do I think this is a waist of my time. I've just been really busy with school work and other extracurricular activities. Thank you so much for giving this wonderful learning experience. Anyway, if any of the readers want to vote with me, the con, do as you please. Thank you.
The Embargo with Cuba needs to be lifted.

Well, your very welcome. Happy to be the first to respond. This is my first debate on this site. I would also like to point out that my third argument in the first round was not thought through very well. I admit that I wrote it at 11:30 PM last night Anyway, back to my second arguement. 1st point: In the quote that was found by the instigator, it stated that the U.S. only put the embargo on Cuba because of it's communist government, and at the same time helps other communist countries. This quote is very hippocratic on the part of the speaker who stated it and the instigator himself. To begin with, the speaker of the quote is from the very communist country of Venezuela. Secondly, the instigator stated that the embargo was ORIGINALLY put into action because of the land and economic squabbles between the U.S. and Cuba. THEN, it evolved into a race to stop the communist government, and begin a new democratic government. It would not be surprising if a Russian government delegate during the communist era said the same thing of essence. As you can probably tell, the instigator has created a hole in his argument. 2nd point: As I stated in the first round argument, President Raul Castro has the possibility of reigning for another 20 years. This may be very unlikely, but the possibility of Castro appointing someone else to take his place before he dies or when he retires is very high. Because of the dictatorship, even though there is a congress, part of Cuba's constitution states that presidential candidates run uncontested. This means Castro can very likely persuade someone to take his place. This, in turn, will make it harder for the U.S. to complete its goal of converting Cuba to a democratic government. 3rd and final point for this round: If you watch the news, since the beginning of Barack Obama's presidency, he's been trying persuade many communist countries, including China, Iran, and others, to give their people more rights. This list of countries would include Cuba as well. This has been a world-wide goal of the U.S. for a very long time. This means that embargo is in place, not because of the communist government, but because of what happened with land and economic problems. I encourage readers to vote against repealing the embargo.
The Embargo with Cuba needs to be lifted.

First of all, thank you for accepting! I thought I would never get to debate this! However, I am going to be out of town on Friday and Saturday. I may be able to get this stuff done on my iPhone, we'll have to see. It would be preferable to get this debate done by tomorrow. On to the arguments… Sorry for just saying Castro in my proponent speech. I am aware that Fidel has given up his reign to his brother Raul, however they are both technically Castro. Sorry for any confusion that may have caused. 1st Nobody is set to succeed Raul, and Raul is currently 79 years old. You say he is set to rule for 20-30 more years. It is possible, but unlikely. He has already trumped the average life expectancy, and most likely will not live until he is 99 as the negative suggests. Please disregard the negative's argument. 2nd The negative suggests that we refuse to trade with Cuba because of their communist government. How do you explain our trade with China, Venezuela, and even North Korea? Cuba, although communist, is not nearly as communist or hostile as some of the other countries we deal with. I would like to repeat the quote from my proponent speech from Moisï¿½s Naï¿½m, which said, "The embargo is the perfect example used by anti-Americans everywhere to expose the hypocrisy of a superpower that punishes a small island while cozying to dictators elsewhere." 3rd The negative argument does not even begin to be competitive to my third point. My point was that the embargo is both domestically and internationally unpopular, but my opponent just pointed out that Cuba is communist, and that's why there is an embargo. I pointed out the actual reason for the embargo in my first speech. Communism is what the embargo has evolved into, not what started it. Please look to my 2nd point above as to why communism is not a good reason for an embargo on Cuba. 4th Our economy was not necessarily sent into a spiral, but Cuba's was. Also, the negative points out that the economic impact on our country is significant. Why not solve for this? There are obviously no reasons not to. I urge you to vote in affirmation. Thanks for reading, I look forward to the next round.
The Embargo with Cuba needs to be lifted.

1st point: Castro has a family of very powerful warlords and extreme left communists. Besides, Castro has already retired and given control to his brother. Who will probably reign for another 20-30 years. 2nd point: There are a few very good and self-evident reasons why the US will either; A: go to war with any country that dares to attack her soil and/or threaten her (Ex: Japan attacks Pearl Harbor during WWII. US wanted to stay out of the war, but the Japanese disrespected this); or B: stop trading relations with a country because of its economy (bad), government (usually communist or anti-democratic), or because of profiling (a huge problem with our government). That reasons are the well-being of the country itself, the people, the economy, and government. This is usually due to the government itself. If you look to our history, you will see many examples of this. 3rd point: One of the main reasons why the US established the embargo was because of the very strict, communist government that was lead by Fidel Castro. 4th and final point for this round: As you know, the embargo was progressive and didn't reach its full intensity until the late 70's. The economic impact on us was significant, but not significant enough to send the economy into a spiral.
