Yogi Berra is better than Johnny Bench

I will now start my arguments. Yogi Berra's career was very similar to Bench's. They have about the same amount of home runs, rbis and runs scored. Furthermore, their career batting average, on base percentage and slugging percentage are also close. However, even though they are similar, Berra is better than Bench. Let's compare their main stats: Stat, Berra, Bench Home Runs, 358, 389 Rbis, 1430, 1376 Runs, 1175, 1091 Batting Average, .285, .267 On base percentage, .348, .342 Slugging Percentage, .482, .476 So, as you can see, Berra and Bench are very close together. Yet, Berra has better stats in 5 of the 6 categories. Now, of course catcher is a defense first position. Bench is a great defensive catcher. So is Berra. Berra' offense is very similar, but still clearly better than Bench. After all, Bench only has more home runs than Berra and that is the most USELESS stat above. Home runs are factored into slugging percentage. Runs and rbis are more important because all home runs are trying to do is get more runs and rbis. That proves that Berra is a better offensive player than Bench. I think that Bench and Berra are equally good at defense. Bench does not find the advantage he needs in order to move pass Berra.

Yogi Berra is better than Johnny Bench

Yogi Berra is the best catcher of all time. The main competitor for this honor is Johnny Bench. I feel that Berra is a better player than Bench. But many people and experts say that Bench is better than Berra and I do not like that. For example, the Sporting News places Bench as 16th on the all time 100 list, while putting Berra at 40th. The Sporting New quotes that "It might not seem fair, but Johnny Bench is the standard by which catchers will be judged forever." This debate was created by me to attempt to prove that Berra is better. Remember, I am not trying to prove that Berra is the best catcher or whatever else. Don't bring other catchers into this debate. It is simply Johnny Bench vs. Yogi Berra. Clearing other issues. More Valuable or Better?: When I mean that Berra is "better" than Bench, I mean both more vital and more skilled. I want this debate to include both skill and importance. My opponent can start the first round or pass. Either way is fine.
Terraria is just as good as Minecraft (if not better)

Terraria has a lot more content than Minecraft and Minecraft as of 1.9 is going to break PvP for good (unless you use pluggins or mods). Without mods and pluggins Terraria is clearly the best of the two. There are more items, more blocks, more monsters, more NPC's (unlike the bad villager AI), and many more bosses. Minecraft can be just as fun since it is better when it comes to playing with your friends. (unless you want to port forward your own world which is a pain). Terraria is a better when it come to single player and multiplayer if you have a small group. Another problem I have with Minecraft servers is that a lot of them sell promotions that make the player that pays for it overpowered (OP in Minecraft terms) While in Terraria it is just you and your friends most of the time connection to your own servers and as of 1.3 Steam is not letting you host your servers through them. We are debating about Terraria 1.3 and Minecraft 1.8 and 1.9 plans Only. Let the best person win. ; )
Terraria is just as good as Minecraft (if not better)

Minecraft cannot be labeled as a super good game just because it was the first of it's kind. It is a base or a platform for other creative minds to build on. Minecraft has more variety only because of external things as in mods and pluggins...So pretty much all of the good things about Minecraft is made by other people since pluggins and mods are not Mojang's product. Terraria has many more Items, Bosses, and possibilities. Minecraft is 3D but that doesn't mean it is better than Terraria. Each game flows well with it's perspective. Minecraft revolves around 3D while Terraria is built around 2D. Also Minecraft is not immersive compared to Terraria. Terraria has fun unique bosses while Minecraft bosses seen to be too predictable. (not based on 1.9) In Terraria there is a wide range of bosses all with different traits. Minecraft has more item variations than actual items while Terraria has a huge number or items. And if you are trying to say that Minecraft was the first successful sandbox then you are wrong. Garry's mod was released almost 4.5 years before Minecraft. Terraria is also a place for creativity. Most of the creativity is meant for people who want to use machinery and not as much about making a nice house.
Terraria is just as good as Minecraft (if not better)

bud listen, that wasn't me who posted the last round. It was my little brother who logged on to my computer. Anyway, the main reason for which I consider Minecraft to be the better game is because of its innovation and originality factor. After its release, so many games tried to replicate the incredible freedom and expansive worlds. Not to mention it allows for creativity and creations of communities. If a game can do that then that is a sign that it has truly created something phenomenal. Sure, Terraria accomplished this too, but the fact of the matter is that Minecraft has more options. Game modes are abundant and overall, offer a fantastic experience. The game also adds depth, literally, thanks to its first-person 3D perspective. With this view, the emersion factor in Minecraft is outstanding, while Terraria is in a panned out 2d perspective, and the emersion factor is slightly lost.
Terraria is just as good as Minecraft (if not better)

I was hoping that I would get someone who could dish out facts to support their side...seems like I was given someone who has no clue about either of these games. Terraria is not a rip off of Minecraft. They are their very own thing. Just because it has blocks doesn't mean it is a rip off. That is the problem with people who are not knowledgeable about games. Terraria is 2D has more variety and has a deeper plot line than Minecraft. Minecraft is great when it comes to making mini-games. But Minecraft has much less content than Terraria when it comes down to the raw game (no commands or pluggins). Please try to give me a good debate.
Do you think video games are good for kids/teens!

Improves education in kids. In the last few years, one game in particular has dominated the industry in a way never seen before, drawing players into worlds of their own design for literally hours on end. Minecraft has sold millions of copies and its success shows no sign of slowing down, but for those of you who are worried about fans spending hours watching Youtube videos of others playing the game, research has demonstrated that the educational benefits of Minecraft are almost limitless in scope. Very helpful towards kids, simply to help them get over problems. Video games increase imagination, hand-eye coordination, and give them a vast amount of creativity. Technology is growing and being a fan of video games lead to wanting to be in that industry and that helps them keep on track with technology.
World Population

I’m not sure what the rules are? ...so I’ll start with some rebuttals:Over population is a problem that soon will become our worst nightmare. YOUR worst nightmare is not MY worst nightmare, therefore YOUR worst nightmare is not OUR worst nightmare. My worst nightmare is my parachute failing to open (and that’s why I don’t parachute jump). Everyday we loose resources that help everyoneResources don’t necessarily help people. Look at some of the autocratic Arab Oil producing countries, such as Saudi Arabia, only a few disproportionately benefit from oil wealth. Wood is a resource, it doesn’t help everyone though. It doesn’t help me when I jam my finger in a wooden door. Wood also doesn’t help people because its accumulation contributes to global warming, what would you rather: burn to death or walking sticks for the elderly? Resources don’t help everyone. They often only truly help those who consume them rather than those that collect them (blood diamond, anyone?). War and Exploitation.What happens when there are no more resources?? People will stop having Oil Wars. And humankind will find alternative resources (where applicable).A war will break out. Any type of war such a s a civil war.It is not proven that the outbreak of war is positively correlated with population growth. There is probably less conflict now than at any time throughout history. Think back to two million BC when there was only 9 people on the planet….. Cane killed Able. If population growth were to result in a war, due lack of resources like food, everyone would die or starve anway. Kind of self-correcting, innit?

Andy Grammer- Keep Your Head Up I've been waiting on the sunset Bills on my mindset I can't deny they're getting high Higher than my income Incomes bread crumbs I've been trying to survive The glow that the sun gets Right around sunset Helps me realize This is just a journey Drop your worries You are gonna turn out fine. Oh, you turn out fine. Fine, oh, you turn out fine. But you gotta keep your head up, oh, And you can let your hair down, eh. You gotta keep your head up, oh, And you can let your hair down, eh. I know it's hard, know it's hard, To remember sometimes, But you gotta keep your head up, oh, And you can let your hair down, eh. I've got my hands in my pockets, Kicking these rocks. It's kinda hard to watch this life go by. I'm buying into skeptics, Skeptics mess with, the confidence in my eyes I'm seeing all the angles, starts to get tangled I start to compromise My life and the purpose. Is it all worth it? Am I gonna turn out fine? Oh, you'll turn out fine. Fine, oh, you'll turn out fine. But you gotta keep your head up, oh, And you can let your hair down, eh. You gotta keep your head up, oh, And you can let your hair down, eh. I know it's hard, know it's hard, To remember sometimes, But you gotta keep your head up, oh, And you can let your hair down, eh.

If Today was Your last Day by Nickelback My bestfriend gave me the best advice He said "Each days a gift and not a givin right" Leave no stone unturned, leave your fears behind And try to take the path less traveled by That first step you take is the longest stride If today was your last day, tomorrow was too late, could you say goodbye to yesterday? Would you live each moment like your last, leave old pictures in the past, donate every dime you had? If today was your last day. Against the grain should be a way of life Whats worth the prize is always worth the fight Every second counts cause there's no second try So live it like your never livin twice Don't take the free ride in your life If today was your last day, tommorrow was too late, could you say goodbye to yesterday? Would you live each moment like your last? Leave old pictures in the past, donate every dime you had? Would you call those friends you never see? Reminisce old memories, would you forgive your enemies? Would you find out what your dreaming of? Swear up and down to god above, that you've finally fall in love? If today was your last day. If today was your last day. Would you make your mark, by mending a broken heart? You know it's neve too late, to shot for the stars, regardless of who you are. So do whatever it takes Cause you can't rewind a moment in this life Let nothin stand in your way Cause the hands of time are never on your side If today was your last day, tommorrow was too late, could you say goodbye to yesterday? Would you live each moment like your last, leave old pictures in the past, donate every dime you had? Would you call those Friedman you never see, reminisce old memories, would you forgive your enemies? Would you find out what your dreaming of, swear up and down to god above, that you've finally fall in love? If today was your last day.
policy debate is better than ld

Indeed, it is sad. However, I will do my best and try to leave no points untouched... First, outline:1)Spreading2)Beginners3)Diversity4)Education (breadth, depth, etc.)1) SPREADINGI quote my opponent: "b) Even if you buy his argument, both events have spreading, so it's non-unique at best."Fine... I'll go with that. If both events have spreading, then the argument is nullified and is no longer a point of contention in this debate. Any ads/ disads with policy spreading go with LD as well... so disregard spreading completely.2) BEGINNERS Why dumb things down? If people are going to seriously strive to do well in competitive debate (which I agree, is pretty damn hard) then they should perservere from the start! The argument that starting off doing something easy is good is ridiculous; beginners should know what it is that they are getting into before they progress too much into a type of debate, and policy does this well by throwing them in the water. Anyone who would continue doing that debate event would not quit because it is hard to begin with.3) DIVERSITYCX debate is policy, economically, and politically oriented while LD is value, ethics, and philosophy oriented. However, it is common knowledge in the debate world that policy has less customs and de facto rules than LD. Philosophy is much more commonly entered into a policy round than stone cold economics into an LD round. EG. Policy can say "Extinction good" or "Religion bad" or can freaking advocate nihilism! LD is more rigid in that values are prioritized over real-world situations by far.4) EDUCATIONLonger speaking times make policy win over LD in breadth.Spreading and reading lots of evidence makes policy win over LD in depth. The practical issues in policy win over LD's philosophical conversations, making it win in real-world education.Don't be fooled by my opponent's long, drawn out response. This boils down the issues for which Policy is superior to LD, and therefore I have concisely explained why you MUST vote AFF. Thank you.
policy debate is better than ld

General points for LD over Policy (I can go more in-depth if my opponent shows up): - LD is much easier to start learning as opposed to Policy, allowing for rookies to get started quicker. - LD incorporates much of the same policies and tactics that Policy does. Policy doesn't use LD cases and tactic. This makes LD more diverse and flexible to more types of debating and debaters. - LD is more parent friendly whereas its standard procedure in varsity policy to spread (speed read), in varsity LD one can be successful going slow or spreading, which allows for more judge adaptation. Going to wait for my opponent before I disclose more.
Why cell phones should not be allowed in classrooms

Yes there is a possibility of the phone's being dangerous during an emergency as they could sound off during a break in but a solution for that is to have a rule in the class stating that when one enters the classroom their cellphones need to be turned to silent. With the research projects , yes students might goof off and go on their social media pages rather than researching for their assignment, but in the end they'd be the ones hurting their grade. It's on them to do the work or goof off.
Why cell phones should not be allowed in classrooms

With students using their cell phones in class when there is an emergency on campus they could get hurt. If students are not careful, the intruder can hear their cell phones if the volume is not turn down. With research projects, how would you know if they are actually researching the topic or if they are on their social media sites. Students can lie about what they do on their phones and they can make it look like they are using their phones for education processes.
Should the NFL move to an 18 game schedule

I believe that the NFL owners should not be making attempts to change the schedule of the regular season from 16 to 18 games for several different reasons. My main argument is that lengthening the season will inevitably shorten the careers of these players and can be detrimental to their health. Everyone knows that the game of football is inherently a violent sport and injuries can happen at any second on the field; Players like Joe Theismann, Michael Irvin, Keith Everett, Mike Utley, and Reggie Brown, as well as many others all have suffered career ending, and potentially life threatening injuries on the field. This is something that has been around in football for as long as football has been around. The news that is just more recently coming into the light is the effect of a career worth of minor blows to the head or other parts of the body can have on the long term health of the players. The NFL this past season has just recently changed the rules and punishments put on players who launch at a defenseless receiver. This rule was changed in order to protect players when they cannot protect themselves and make the game as safe as possible for the people playing it; but now they want to lengthen the season and expose these players to more potential injuries? To me it is ironic that directly after the season in which the NFL changed its rules to protect the players health they are changing the season around and putting the players at more risk, simply to generate more revenue. The NFL is easily a 9 billion dollar business and while the economy over the last few years has had a negative impact on the profits of the owners, they should not be putting the players at more risk just to make there pockets a little fatter. I also believe that the season should not be extended because of the fact that the health care that the NFL provides is not sufficient for all of the players that would potentially need it. The average length of a players career in the NFL is about 3 seasons and most players are able to play between the ages of 21 to 25. Adding more games to the season not only increases the exposure to injuries for the players but it will also shorten the length of there careers as well.
Should the NFL move to an 18 game schedule

If the NFL wants to do what is best for all of the interested parties than i believe that they absolutely should change the length of the season from 16 to 18 games. Fans would love the opportunity to attend or watch two more games through out the year, teams would make more money from ticket and concession sales, and players could potentially receive an increase in salary for the extension of the schedule. This situation is a clear win-win for everyone involved. For those who are concerned about the effects that this will have on the health of the players, remember that these 2 new games added too the schedule are actually just replacing 2 of the preseason games that teams would have been participating in. These preseason games present the same level of danger to the players but yield none of the benefits of regular season games. If these players are going to be putting themselves at risk in games, they might as well be games that count towards making the playoffs. People like to say that this change is a greedy and selfish move by the owners but if you examine the facts from an objective perspective the owners are simply trying to provide the best possible product that they can to the public. The league has put in place new rules and plans to change others in order to best protect the players from injuries and as long as they continue to do so, and support the players who do get hurt, they should be allowed to change up the schedule however they see fit.
