Minimum wage increases raise unemployment

C1: Raises teenage unemployment70-cent-an-hour increase in the minimum wage would cost some 300,000 jobs. Sure enough, the mandated increase to $7.25 took effect in July, and right on cue the August and September jobless numbers confirm the rapid disappearance of jobs for teenagers. [1] Unemployment in 2006 (teenage) was 4.4%, there was a steady minimum wage. In 2009, after a few minimum wage increases, teenage unemployment was 10.2%. [2] C2: raises overall unemploymentas seen on source 3: The minimum wage raises unemployment drastically. "Economists have studied the job-destroying features of a higher minimum wage. Estimates of the job losses of raising the minimum wage from $4.25 to $5.15 have ranged from 625,000 to 100,000 lost jobs. It is important to recognize that the jobs lost are mainly entry-level jobs. By destroying entry-level jobs, a higher minimum wage harms the lifetime earnings prospects of low-skilled workers. " [4]This evidence shows older raises, but still same results. The raise in the federal minimum wage raised unemployment.Conclusion:I already did this, and it had an error, and decided not to re-make it again, so I made it short. The minimum wage raises unemployment, vote pro. sources:http://online.wsj.com... [1]http://www.americanthinker.com... [2]http://www.foxbusiness.com... [3]http://www.house.gov... [4]
The U.S should mine the asteroid belt

Of course I have been listening to you, but I didn't think you wanted to hear what I had to say right away. Your idea is damn stupid. We have limited resources, yes, but the solution isn't to burn the rest of our oil sending probes off to the asteroid belt! That's beyond Mars! http://www.distancetomars.com... It would take five months of space travel just to reach Mars, then pass by to the asteroid belt, somehow steer onto one, hope it has gravity, not smash into it and then begin drilling. Not get metals and... look, this is frickin' obvious now. WHY THE HELL DO YOU THINK OIL IS IN ASTEROIDS? Fossil fuels come from the death and decay of living organisms, and last time I checked, there weren't too many freaking animals out in space, now were there? Metals, maybe, but you'll waste all the freakin' oil mining a rock dry, even if it has metals, unless you're ship has enough room, which requires a bigger ship and more fuel, then you can't even bring back the metals, and you lose the crew as they fling past the asteroid belt after half a year because you have as much chance of hitting an asteroid as you do of hitting Megan Fox. Reduce energy consumption. Reuse what you can't reduce. Recycle what you can't reuse. Use clean wind and water energy. Find a safe place to regulate and control nuclear plants without threat of leakage to local towns. Radiation takes about 10-30 years to decline to safe levels, and that's only in the case of a meltdown. And go ahead, challenge me on the living Earth thing. I dare you. If the world agrees? How much do you plan on returning with? You can't fuel Russia with one shuttle's worth of iron, let alone any country in the world. Russia will want a big piece, and then they'll bring up the Outer Space Treaty when they don'y get it. Then they'll rile up the Syrians again. And if the whole world agreeing on something was a viable option, why don't we all just agree to cancel our debts with everyone and give everyone the money they had before the recession? It would never happen, just like this crazyass plan. Thank you for the debate. Duncan.
The U.S should mine the asteroid belt

1. Are you not listening to me? We dont have a lot of choice in the long run. Eventually we are going to run out of resources on earth! And when we do we will either be in space mining the asteroids, or down on the ground fighting over a scrap of bread with sticks and stones. And no, not a probe, a manned space craft. Things like this need the care of human hands, and yes i am proposing it. It is well within our technology to do. We just refuse, or at least most people, refuse to believe it. 2. What happens when we recycle? We send more heat into the air. Guess we dont care about global warming. And nuclear waste is still just as deadly dont try and kid yourself friend. 10,000 years to louse half of its radiation. And that is the problem, we think of the world as a big hunk of rock. It is alive, maybe not in the form we see life, but that is a debate for another time. 3. finally, listen to me, for once. If the world agrees that mining the asteroid belt will help everyone, and that everything gained will be sent to the ENTIRE world, something like that can be made legal. So your argument is not valid. Until next round Orion of the lost City of Atlantis
The U.S should mine the asteroid belt

1; We have plenty of choice. We can recycle already used iron, we can control population growth, and we can switch to clean energy. You are suggesting we send a probe towards a moving target, one which is a great deal of time away and then land on an asteroid, somehow mine the ore from within, separate the metals, then escape whatever gravity may exist on the asteroid and then arrive back on Earth without burning up. We can find an easier way. 2; Nuclear WASTE, while risky in the past, is no longer the same threat, as which each disaster, our safety and care with the energy becomes stronger. Take for instance the Fukushima, which had no deaths, and Chernobyl, which will be habitable within a decade. The Earth is not dying; it is a planet, not a living thing. More power would allow us to require less raw ores, and less oil, removing the need for such expensive procedures. 3; It's illegal still, and the USA agreed to it. The distribution of ore, if any at all, will only be what the probe could carry, and unless it makes a profit over the costs of 450 billion http://www.ask.com... per rocket used to get the damn thing into space, then there would be a lot of oppostion, especially from Russia, who couldn't care less so long as they annoyed the US. Until next round, I'll be waiting, Duncan.
The U.S should mine the asteroid belt

1. Yes, i know it costs a lot of money, but what choice do we have? The longer we wait the longer it will take and the more it will cost to be able to do this. And how? Well we are not debating that now are we? That is to the people in charge of NASA, they are smart enough. We are simply debating on giving them funding. 2. Yes, they are still a option, which is why we must act, before it is not a option. Also, did you know with nuclear energy we are killing the world? nuclear waist people! Our earth is dying because of it! and how does having more power help us? We need iron, oil, metal, etc. Things we need to make houses and planes and boats. Power is not everything my friend 3. And no i didnt. But i think the rest of the world would agree that if we share our rewards to everyone, i think we would not have a problem convincing them to change there mind. What do you think they will say when hundreds of trillions of dollars are flouting up in space and we are down here having a world war over 10 cents worth if iron? See you next round my friend Orion
The U.S should mine the asteroid belt

1; It costs a lot of money to mine just one asteroid, and you've forgotten one crucial part; how do you plan to get the ore back off of a moving rock without incredible planning skill, then safely land in a salvagable way back on Earth? The return would never be so wasteful if the probe collecting the ore simply burnt up on re-entry or missed the Earth. . http://www.space.com... 2; Renewable resources are still an option, remember that. You may say we will lose our fossil fuels by 2060, but the probe will take years to arrive back, and hardly with enough oil and resources to fund the world. Rather, research into safer nuclear energy, hydroelectricity, et cetera, will be a much easier and less costly alternative. 3; Did you know it's illegal? The USA has agreed that no nation can claim ownership over any part of space, and so is not permitted to mine any asteroid unless for scientific and non profit motives. If the US were to break their oath like this, it would remove a great deal of trust, not to mention have the Russians, already contesting for the North Pole, on them again over regulation violation. . http://www.unoosa.org... See you next round, Duncan.
The U.S should mine the asteroid belt

I believe that the mining of the asteroid belts would be a great benefit to the United States and the rest of the world. My points are as follows: 1. Unknown riches await us 2. The earth is running out of resources 3. It will put as were we need to be. 1. Unknown riches await us. As we all know we have a asteroid belt, it spans a distance of our solar system and is made up of hundreds of thousands of asteroids. Scientists have proved that these asteroids, rocks in space, contain all the resources that we already have. Iron, water, oil, etc. They have also proved that just one of the medium sized asteroids, about the size of a car maybe a little bigger, containing the right materials, could pay of over half of the U.S national debt. No joke. 2. The earth is running out of resources. We are running out of resources. Oil is running low as is fuel. Natural resources such as Iron, steel, and other things that we need are running very low and will be gone by the time we reach 2060. Although it may seem like a long time to you, it is barley any time at all. There is literally an unlimited amount of resources out in space right there for us to just reach out and take! All we need do is take that final step 3. It will put as were we need to be. "Space, the final frontier. These are the voyages of the Starship Enterprise. Its continuing adventure, to explore strange new worlds, to discover new life and new civilization, to boldly go were no one has gone before," for those of you who do not know, that is a quote from the movie cerise Startrek. And though granted this is not Startrek those words have great meaning on what we need to do. Out there, is space, what we need. Asteroids and planets that we can take advantage off. Getting resources from asteroids will help us and the world greatly. The technology we need to do it will help us greatly. Thank you. I stand open for questions and my opponent to bring forth his argument
FCC Regulation of Broadcast Media Content.

Freedom of speech is one of the most sacred rights to any free society. People have fought and died for the right to express what they want, how they want. The Framers of the Constitution knew the dangers of allowing the government control over speech and press. That is why they used the very First Amendment to the Constitution to guarantee the right to speak freely to all American citizens. Today we are throwing that right away so that some people won't have to hear coarse language on television before eleven PM. I put forth the idea that the government should have no more power over broadcast media than it does over print media. The state cannot tell you want you can and cannot say on paper, so why can it tell you want you can and cannot say over the airwaves? The right to speak freely is too important to give up, for any reason. Those who are offended by the content of "South Park," for example, can change the channel, but they cannot suppress the expression of ideas simply to protect their definition of "decency."

Gay Marriage

You cannot base everything on Christianity? You are saying you're a Christian yet we should base things on other religions we as Christians do not agree with? I understand there are many religions but I only have one God and one faith. I'm confused on you're argument because it is more of an opinion. "I know it can't be legal everywhere. I am just saying I think it should be, it would be irrational to think it could be legal everywhere." What am I arguing against? You just proved my point by saying "it can't be legal everywhere." You're right, it cannot be legal everywhere! I understand your argument when you say these gay/lesbian folks love somebody and cannot live without them. But in a world that God created, and with a Bible that condemns the act of homosexuality, I among lots of other people cannot agree with same sex marriage. I will not discriminate, Jesus says to love everyone, but I cannot agree with same sex marriage. I appreciate my opponent debating this issue with religion involved. This was a tough debate, and I respect all that she has said. I hope my message was clear. Thank you!
Gay Marriage

This is not a religious issue. there are many religions and you can't base everything off of Christianity. It is one of many religions. It may be a very widely practiced religion, but it't not the only one. I know it can't be legal everywhere. I am just saying I think it should be, it would be irrational to think it could be legal everywhere. It should not be anyone's right to decide who should be allowed to marry. Think about it this way. You find an amazing man/woman and they are all you would hope you would find in a person, you couldn't picture your life without them, then people ridicule you and make fun of you and beat you for loving that person. This is what many gay/lesbian people go through.
Gay Marriage

This is a religious issue so I will continue that discussion first. Jesus also said: "And He answered and said to them, "Have you not read that He who made them at the beginning "made them male and female,"" "Matthew 19:4 (NKJV) "But from the beginning of the creation, God "made them male and female."" "Mark 10:6 (NKJV)(A) Now it is true that Jesus will forgive our sins if we accept him, but on the issue of homosexuality that is false. Here is why. If you commit and sin and ask for forgiveness, the Lord will forgive you. However, homosexuality is different because you are constantly living in sin. How can you be forgiven without confessing? Above you said, "if you accept Jesus into your heart he will forgive you for your sins. Jesus died so sins such as this can be forgiven." You classify homosexuality as a sin here. If you are living in constant sin I believe you cannot be forgiven. It's not my job to condemn you though, your heart and what you believe is between you and the Lord. Next, your argument was not clear to me, sorry about that. Of course it can't be made legal everywhere. Each nation has different laws and governments. If we allow same sex marriage, this would not fulfill God's purpose/plan to fill and multiply the people of His earth. Lots of religions do not support same sex marriage, that is why the world will not and should not legalize same sex marriage. I encourage you to check out the link below for a look at what the Bible says about marriage. (A)http://www.christiananswers.net...
Gay Marriage

Ok, first off do not bring religion into this. I am as well a Christian and the bible says if you accept Jesus into your heart he will forgive you for your sins. Jesus died so sins such as this can be forgiven. Secondly the topic is gay marriage. I am supposed to be arguing why is should be legal and you should be arguing why it should not be, not why it doesn't have to be legal. Also when I said "I don't know why it legal everywhere" I meant the whole world, because gay marriage has already been made legal in all 50 states by the supreme court. http://www.npr.org...
Gay Marriage

Two issue with gay marriage. The first is it conflicts with Christianity. The second is it conflicts with the U.S. Constitution. The Bible condemns same sex marriage and is classified as a sin here: "Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God." "1 Corinthians 6:9-10 (NKJV) (A) Obviously if you are not a Christian, this does not apply. However, the United States was based on Christian values. "We are endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable right." That is from the Declaration of Independence. Creator is capitalized because it implies the Christian God. Our founders intentionally capitalized the "C". So, if we truly are a Christian nation, we should allow the Bible to guide our decisions as a country. The second conflict is with the U.S. Constitution. The 10th amendment contains these clauses: "It expresses the principle of federalism, which strictly supports the entire plan of the original Constitution for the United States of America, by stating that the federal government possesses only those powers delegated to it by the United States Constitution. All remaining powers are reserved for the states or the people."(B) Therefore, because same sex marriage is not included in the U.S. Constitution, it is delegated to the states to decide. However, this decision was made incorrectly by the U.S. Supreme Court in 2015 that same sex marriage is legal in every state. Now that is an entire new debate. (A)http://www.christiananswers.net...

Should g's gay's get married

Contention 1: Quality of lifeStudies repeatedly demonstrate that people who marry tend to be better off financially, emotionally, psychologically, and even medically. Marriage is not universally an improvement, but it generally is. Because of this, it stands to reason that legalized gay marriage will ultimately prove beneficial for gay individuals. This, in turn, will be better for gay couples, the families of gays, and communities where gays live.Contention 2: Marriage Opponents of gay marriage argue that it would undermine the institution of marriage, but it's hard to see how more marriages would be bad for marriage. If anything harms marriage, it is bad marriages where people don't take marriage seriously - and that's already too common with heterosexuals. If gay couples in committed relationships are able to formalize their unions as marriages, that can only serve to improve marriage overall by providing more positive role models.Contention 3: Civil UnionsSome opponents and supporters of gay marriage support civil unions as an alternative, but that's a mistake. For marriages to continue as a stabilizing force in society, they must be genuine marriages - not "marriage lite" that carries some benefits without all the responsibilities. Equality before the law means that creating civil unions for gays will lead to civil unions for everyone else and this "marriage lite" will be more of a threat to marriage than gay unions could possibly be.
