Rhythmic or Artistic gymnastics are better than any other sport

Now that I know which side I'm supposed to be on, here's some arguments for why Rhythmic/Artistic Gymnastics is the best sport: 1. The sport allows more self-expression than other sports do. 2. It is in the Olympics, which indicates its widespread popularity and thus its merit. 3. The amount of physical training required in order to do well in the sport is incredibly high, and develops many athletic skills beyond those achieved in other sports, particularly in regards to the athletes' endurance. 4. The amount of training required by the sport means that the athletes must have started at a very young age in order to excel, unlike other sports, such as swimming, running, football, or tennis, which one can pick up at almost any time during adolescence and young-adulthood and attain a high level of excellence in the sport.
Rhythmic or Artistic gymnastics are better than any other sport

I don't know of a single sport whose athletes would not be able to effectively argue points as to why their particular sport is "better." However, given your supporting argument, I'm personally having a hard time even understanding which side of this argument you're on, given that the title says that Rhythmic/Artistic gymnastics are "better than any other sport," but your argument seems to be against that claim. Perhaps you should clarify your actual stance in the next round so we can have a more legitimate debate.
Best NFL Quarterback is Brett Favre

I was running out of time last time (as I am now) so I just wanted to point out some key factors of deciding who is the better quarterback. I wasn't trying to put the burden on my opponent. < > By that logic you automatically negate Joe Montana from the debate. Also those were a choice few on a long list of Favre being first in records. < > Still negating Joe Montana. Marino played 17 seasons (http://www.coldhardfootballfacts.com...) and has been the starter since his rookie season. Favre on the other hand also played 17 seasons (discluding the current season where his stats have not been added) and only started 15 full seasons ( one was 13 games and the other year he never started) (http://www.nfl.com...). 1) Brett Favre historically has not had as good as wide receivers as Joe Montana or Dan Marino. Brett Favre had the amazing Sterling Sharpe but that only lasted a few years before Sterling's unfortunate neck injury. Joe Montana not only had the great Jerry Rice, Roger Craig, and Dwight Clark (http://www.nfl.com...=). Dan Marino also had an array of good recievers with Mark Clayton, Nat Moore, and Tony Nathan (http://www.nfl.com...=). By the end of the '07 season Favre had been sacked 424 times. Joe Montana was sacked 353 times and Marino was sacked 271 times (http://www.profootballresearchers.org...). This means that in general these other two quarterbacks had much better protection. Brett Favre has also never had the stellar running back like Roger Craig for Montana. Brett Favre's defense also has never compared to the defense for Marion or Montana. 2)This goes to the whole team support. Joe Montana and Dan Marion had a better team around them unlike Brett Favre who essentially made the team for many years. 3) Joe Montana was notorious for injuries and Dan Marino doesn't have the record for most consecutive starts. Brett Favre has played with broken thumbs, concussions, sprained ankles, shoulders, etc. This level of tough mentality is not something you see in the everyday player. He put his team above all else and that makes him a true football player. Vote for me and my argument as Brett Favre being the best quarterback ever as even though his stats are the best he did that with less help and more determination than anyone else I have ever watched play the game.
Best NFL Quarterback is Brett Favre

I would like to begin by pointing out that my opponent is attempting to shift the burden of proof onto me. It is he who is making the claim that Brett Favre is the best quarterback since the AFL/NFL merger, and now he is attempting to shift the debate away from the objective measures we have both provided, and is hoping the reader will not notice. The paramaters he is attempting to add are absurd, especially since it was not I who made the claim that anyone was the greatest quarterback. With that said, I will continue with my analysis of the statistics that suggest that there are better all-time quarterbacks (since the merger), or that the available information is insufficient to to declare Favre the greatest. In the first set of statistics my opponent has provided a few records now held by Brett Favre. While it is commendable that Favre holds these records, the previous statistics show that Dan Marino was actually more efficient and had a greater effect per game in all areas my opponent cited. Let us take a look: Passing Yards - While Favre holds the record, if we look at yards per game we see that Marino threw for 14.3 more yards per game. Touchdown Passes - Marino threw for slightly more touchdowns per game (1.74 for Marino versus 1.72 for Favre). Completions - Again, Favre hold the record, but Marino was more effective per completion. Marino averaged a gain of 12.4 yards per completion, Favre averaged 11.4. Attempts - Yes, Favre holds the record for most attempts. But is this a valuable record, especially when we are debating effectiveness? Completions and yardage gain are better measures of productivity. Starts in a row - This is also not a good measure of a quarterback's productivity. Here is an analysis of each record listed in the second set: First, this list is notable for its absence of one of the more significant statistics - Passer Rating. As mentioned before, the Passer rating measures overall productivity. Brett Favre is conspicuously missing from this list. According to Passer Rating, Steve Young is the greatest quarterback, with an asounding career rating of 96.8. Of course, while Favre is missing from the top three lists in this category, Dan Marino is there. He cites that Favre is 2nd in most games with 300 or more yards; that Favre is tied for most consecutive seasons leading the league in touchdowns; that he is 2nd in most games with 4 or more touchdowns; and that he is tied for 2nd in most games in a season of 4 or more touchdowns. Guess who was ranked number 1 in all of those areas - Dan Marino. Finally, I would like to reader to note that nearly all of the records held by Favre were previously held by Marino. Marino broke nearly all of those records in fewer games played. It took Favre more seasons and more games to surpass Marino in yardage, completions, touchdowns, and attempts. This further illustrates my point that Dan Marino was more productive, more efficient, and thus greater than Brett Favre.
Best NFL Quarterback is Brett Favre

I apologizely profusely for being so late and making you wait so long for my rebuttal. You mention some of Favre's records, but I thought I'd add a couple to your list (these are from the end of the 2008 season): 61,655 passing yards (1st all-time) 442 TD passes (1st all-time) 5,377 completions (1st all-time) 8,758 attempts (1st all-time) 253 straight starts in a row (1st all-time for QB's and second overall) . http://www.nfl.com... 3 seasons leading league in attempts (3rd all-time) 16 seasons of 300 yards or more of passing (1st all-time) 55 300 yards or more passing games (2nd all-time) Longest pass completion (tied for first all-time at 99 yards) 4 seasons leading league for most touchdown passes (tied for 1st all-time) 3 consecutive seasons leading league in touchdown passes (tied for 1st all-time) 19 games of 4 or more touchdowns (2nd all-time) 4 games of four or more touchdowns in a season (tied for 2nd all-time) 36 consecutive games with TD passes (2nd all-time) 3 mvp's (. http://www.nfl.com...) 40 comebacks (2nd all-time) (. http://www.620wtmj.com...) Now everything my opponent and I have posted are just facts and figures. Brett Favre is worse in some areas than them and better in others. So the question you have to use other means of comparison to decide who is the better quarterback. To prove that Brett Favre is not the best quarterback you need to prove that he had more 1) Team Support (a better team surrounding him than Marino and/or Montana) 2) Less impact (as in if he was replaced with an average quarterback the effect would be less than with Marino or Favre) 3) Attitude (way he played the game and the reasons he did) On a side note the stats I posted above are out of date for the simple reason that FAVRE IS STILL PLAYING! His stats will only get better than they are now. I look forward to your response and bid you good luck.
Best NFL Quarterback is Brett Favre

I will mention two quarterbacks who deserve the title "best NFL quarterback ever since the merger of the AFL and NFL. " 1. Dan Marino Dan Marino is the current holder of 20 NFL records. In 242 regular season games he: Completed 4,967 of 8,358 passing attempts. (59.4%) Threw for 61,361 yards. (253.56 per game) 420 passing touchdowns. (1.74 per game) 252 interceptions. (1.04 per game) 9 Pro Bowl appearances. 0 championships 86.38 passer rating (Source: . http://www.associatedcontent.com...) 2. Joe Montana In 192 regular season games: Completed 3,409 of 5,391 passes. (63.2%) Threw for 40,551 yards. (211.20 per game) 273 touchdowns. (1.42 per game) 139 interceptions. (0.72 per game) 8 Pro Bowls. 4 championships 92.3 passer rating Compare these stats to those of Brett Favre: In 268 games he: Completed 5,622 of 9,105 passes. (61.7%) Threw for 64,116 yards (239.24 per game) 462 touchdowns (1.72 per game) 301 interceptions (1.12 per game) 9 pro bowl appearances 1 championship 86.1 passer rating. (Passer ratings calculated at: . http://brucey.net...) (For an explanation on how they are calculated: . http://en.wikipedia.org...) Analysing the stats listed above we see that while Favre has a higher completion percentage, he is significantly behind Marino in passing yards per game. He also trails Marino in passing touchdowns per game, and throws more interceptions per game. Perhaps most importantly, we see his passer rating is behind Marino's as well. Montana is also a better quarterback than Brett Favre, as seen by his much higher passer rating, and much higher number of championships.
Best NFL Quarterback is Brett Favre

It has been fun, and I find it unfortunate that I must now destroy your argument. Despite the fact that Pro effectively concedes defeat in his R4, I will still post a conclusion for the benefit of the reader. Additionally, I will not respond to his minor points, since he admits he cannot prove his case. ----------- This debate is specifically about Brett Favre. We have been trying to figure out if he is the best quarterback in NFL history. Pro argued his case admirably and should be commended for hanging on to the idea that his idol is the greatest for as long as he did. However, in the fourth round of debate he now admits: "I concede that it is difficult to prove. " "You can't actually PROVE who the better quarterback is since the merger. You can only present the facts and let the reader formulate an opinion. Of course the evidence is inconlcusive, it's up to the reader to draw a conclusion from this. " "You can't PROVE that either quarterback was better or the best. " My job, as Con, was to disprove the resolution "Brett Favre is the greatest NFL Quarterback since the merger. " This could be done in one of two ways - prove beyond a reasonable doubt that there exists a better quarterback, or prove that this resolution cannot be proven. I only needed to successfully complete one of these tasks, however I did both. In the quotes listed above, my young opponent admits that he cannot prove that Brett Favre is the greatest quarterback. Therefore by default, I win. ------------------------- CONCLUSION I have consistently shown that Dan Marino was a more productive quarterback, putting up more yards, completions, touchdowns, fewer interceptions, and fewer sacks per game. Additionally, I have demonstrated that Marino either still holds all records cited by Pro, or reached the records broken by Favre in fewer games than it took Favre. Perhaps most importantly, Marino (as well as a great many other quarterbacks that have played) has a higher passer rating than Brett Favre.
The Christian God is unconditionally loving

I argue that if the Christian god does exist, his love is not unconditional, that is to say that he will love anyone and everyone, but with conditions. Round 1 is acceptance (also inform us about your beleifs on religion and god) No New arguments in the final round. Don't argue that Christian god does not exist (we are not debating that), if you are a someone from another religion or an atheist (like me) then pretend that the christian god does exist. I would prefer if a Christian accepted this.
The Christian God is unconditionally loving

his love may seem cruel but his love is still there. I dont think sibling rivalry is the right word to use, my relation with god would be a father son relationship. If my father beats me once a while to discipline me, thats fine (child abuse, but he still loves me). If my father constantly beats me indefintely, then he defenitley does not love me, this is the same case with God and the people who go to hell. Be happy that when you sin your struck by lightning! I do not understand this. If this is meant to be literal, then being struck by lightning, dying and going to hell is nothing to be happy about. *Also its you are or you're not your (S&G points? )*Pro argues that God (Jesus) died for our sins to show us his unconditional love. That means God killed his son jesus to forgive us. If someone did something bad to you, would you kill your son to forgive that person? If you killed your son with the intention to forgive a wrongdoer (#logicexplosion), does that mean that you love the wrongdoer? If the answer to the previous question is yes, then God does not love his son Jesus Christ. If the answer to previous question is no, then God does not love the sinners. Also remember that "God abandoned [idol worshippers] to do whatever shameful things their hearts desired. "(Romans 1:24-26). If god abandoned Idol worshipes, then that means that God does not care about them and will therefore not forgive them when Jesus dies. With that, I hand the debate to Pro.
The Christian God is unconditionally loving

"But god commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us" The lord showed us love while we were sinners, and died while we were sinners. We sin, and god died to show us our unconditional love. Now think of the world as your children. you love them, but you have sibling rivalry, so his love may seem cruel but his love is still there. Be happy that when you sin your struck by lightning!
The Christian God is unconditionally loving

Italicized and Underlined text are direct quotes from Pro If you had a child born, then he was put in prison for life, do you not love him anymore? Do you say "My child did something wrong and went to life in prison so I don't love him no more!"The analogy brought up by pro puts me in the place of god and my criminal of a child as a sinner and life in prison is compared to hell. If my child, say a son, was a criminalized for mass murder, I could not love him (it would break me but I could not love him). I would disown him. Even if I did love my child after his mass murder, surely it is because of emotion rather than reason, God is above that.Pro's analogy implies that God loves the people he sends to hell for punishment. I could turn his analogy around and say that the police and the judicial court love the mass murderer they are sending to jail. The analogy Pro uses is ludicrous."But god commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us"I dont see why Jesus Christ dying for us means that god loves us, Pro needs to further elaborate on this stance. God sends people to hell just for having a different view of the world (for example believing that idols could represent gods). Eternal suffering just because people grew up in a culture where Gods are worshipped using idols. A person could devote his whole life to worshipping god, but if he worshipped a god in the form of an idol, he would spend the rest of existence in hell. Is this love?Sticking with Idol worshippers, The bible says that "God abandoned them[idol worshippers] to do whatever shameful things their hearts desired." Romans 1:24 - 26 [1]Even if Idol worshipping/beleiving in another god should be considered a sin that warrants eternal suffering, God cannot abandon the people he loves, unless...he does not love them.I would not abandon my baby just because she thinks that someone else is her father rather than me. The only circumstance where I would abandon my baby in this scenario is if I did NOT love her which seems to be the case with God.Sources[1]https://www.biblegateway.com...;
The Christian God is unconditionally loving

I state my argument with a simple question. If you had a child born, then he was put in prison for life, do you not love him anymore? Do you say "My child did something wrong and went to life in prison so I don't love him no more!" God is no exception. He loves you, even if you do got to hell. I quote Romans 5:8 "But god commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us". (Easier to read Version from OpenBible.info) But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. "While we were still sinners". In Revelation 20:8 it does not say "will not have god's love, and go to the fiery lake of burning sulfur". He never said we will not have God's love. "While we were still SINNERS". Let that sink in. Everything he named in Revelation is a sinner, but he died, he showed us love, while we were sinners.
The Christian God is unconditionally loving

Great to see someone accepted the challenge so quickly, lets get startedA reminder to readers that we will asume that a christain god exists (despite my atheism)Premise 1 - The Christian God sends people to hell Premise 2 - Hell is a horrible place to bePremise 3 - Nobody would voluntarily send a loved one to a horrible placeContention - God does not love the people he sends to hell and therefore does not love unconditionallyDefence of P1I quote the Bible (Revelation 21:8) here:"But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars--their place will be in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death."[1]Various groups of people mentioned (cowards, atheists, liars etc) will be sent to hell as said in the Christian god's own holy book.Defence of P2This is common knowledge really. God's whole purpose of creating a hell is for punishment. The verse from Revelation 21:8 which I quoted earlier that those who go to hell "will be in the fiery lake of burning sulfur" and that "this is the second death" A lake of Burning sulfur and dying for a second time does not sound good, even if it is meant to be metaphorical, its obviously referencing to the fact that hell is an extremely horrible place to be. Defence of P3This one is common sense, I do not want to give a second death to my loved ones nor do I want them to suffer eternal damnation in a lake of burning sulfur.Since God sends people to hell, his love is not unconditional, thereby negating the resolution. I await Pro's responseSources:[1] http://www.biblestudytools.com...;
