The Appearance of Rifles is their Most Dangerous Aspect.

Through this argument, I would like to indicate how an aggressive design in rifles may affect the psychological mentality and behavior in criminals. Let's look at the psychological effects that the rifle appearance may trigger on shooters: 1- Confidence: it will empower and encourage the assailant to confront authorities and engage the public. 2- Determination: It will play a crucial role in the attacker's decision to go ahead with his infamous plan since he may feel familiar with this war-like style of weapon from operating them in video games. 3- Assurance: It provides the shooter with a sense of superiority however false it could be, increasing his expectations. The rifle design will also force police officers to employ an unnecessary higher level of force that may result in greater collateral damage (innocent bystanders being injured or killed by friendly fire). Furthermore, the appearance of the rifle is the first impression victims get, and they will react based on this fact and how it affects them. Another point is that guns with long barrels can be used as sniper rifles because of their accuracy. Recent events have revealed that most active shooters are not weapon experts; therefore, they feel confident with guns that look aggressive no matter how deceiving this appearance may result. Moreover, this false image does provide a sense of empowerment, inciting criminals and shameless subjects to proceed with their perverse intentions.
That Age of Empires is superior to Empire Earth

I've got a little confession to make. I did just base all my points on my subjective judgement. At the end of the day, all video game comparisons are just based on our judgements. Given that the critics agree with me, however, vindicates that judgement as accurate. My opponent begins by telling us that only gamers, not professional reviewers, can accurately describe how good/bad a game is. Then, he tells us that the gamers and the critics agree. Age of Empires is superior. He also admits to Empire Earth having poorer AI and worse graphics. I have, therefore, 4 arguments left to refute: 1. That complexity leads to engagement. I would argue that indeed it does, not because I like complexity personally, but because a more complex game forces a player to concentrate on it more. After they have concentrated on it for a little while, they are less likely to want to see their efforts go to waste. I don't know of a single player who'd prefer to play a dumbed down version of Age of Empires to Age of Empires, and for good reason! 2. The expansion pack argument. My opponent thinks that the only reason expansion packs are released is to extend the scope of a game. However, game studios all the time come up with alternative reasons to expand their existing titles. That's why many of the earlier Empire Earth games had expansions. The development studio, however, realized that nobody wanted an expansion for an already-poor game. 3. The soundtrack. Age of Empires 3 won a Yahoo user award for their soundtrack. Meanwhile, the Empire Earth 3 soundtrack has not won any awards and is frequently described as just another run-of-the-mill soundtrack. Anyway, the Empire Earth 3 soundtrack was very minimalist except in the action moments, when it never cued at the right moment, so it wasn't usually very exciting to listen to. 4. Limitations to the scope of the game do not affect re-playability, unlike what my opponent thinks. 2 reasons why. First, because the game is played on a random map in Age of Empires 3, the game is different every time. Second, because there are many civilizations and persistent home cities there is an incentive to keep coming back for more. I contend that Empire Earth 3 only achieves their scope by dumbing the game down to the extent that it is no more re-playable (and in fact in my experience still less re-playable). I mean, come on, the game is clearly less complex after all!
That Age of Empires is superior to Empire Earth

I'm going to be arguing that the latest version of Empire Earth is inferior to the latest version of Age of Empires. 1: Age of Empires generally is more loved by the critics. Age of Empires 3 got a Metacritic score of 81, compared to Empire Earth 3's score of a mere 49. 2: Age of Empires is more complex and thus more engaging. Age of Empires 3 has 3 resources, whilst Empire Earth has only 2. Age of Empires 3 has 5 ages, whilst Empire Earth has only 3. 3: The AI (artificial intelligence) in Age of Empires 3 is far superior. I've never lost a game of Empire Earth 3, but the Age Empires 3 AI surprises me frequently. 4: Graphically, Age of Empires 3 is again superior. While Empire Earth lags and achieves only cartoonish graphics, Age of Empires 3 has a realistic physics model, complex shaders, hundreds of units and one of the most immersive worlds I've ever seen - and I used to run it off a 32MB graphics card! (not at stunning speeds, but it was playable) 5: Age of Empires 3 has more expansions than Empire Earth 3 (2 against 0), so after you get bored of the games you can only pick up an expansion for Age of Empires. 6: Age of Empires 3 has an award winning soundtrack. Empire Earth 3 barely has a soundtrack at all. Steven Rippy is a legend! 7: Age of Empires 3 is focused on one area of the world in one time period with some vague interaction with the rest of the world (home city). This is more realistic than the Empire Earth model, where you command a large portion of the planet at any one time - after all, no ancient commander had as much power as Empire Earth would suggest, however, several American pioneers did found cities and defend them against a rival faction's city in early America.

The Catholic Eucharist is the Body and Blood of Jesus according to Scripture and the Church Fathers.

You probably should have picked a better topic name, then. The definition of 'according to' is 'as stated by', and when you replace according with its definition in your topic it says: The Catholic Eucharist is the Body and Blood of Jesus as stated by Scripture and the Church Fathers. This topic clearly outlines a debate about whether the Eucharist is the body and blood or not, not whether the Church and the Bible accepts that the Eucharist is the body and blood. I also assumed that no one would argue whether or not the Church and Bible accept that claim, since it is a very widely accepted fact that they do. I apologize if I wasted your time.
The Catholic Eucharist is the Body and Blood of Jesus according to Scripture and the Church Fathers.

I wouldn't mind debating the issues you raised, but they are simply not relevant to our debate. Read the resolution again, it states: "The Catholic Eucharist is the Body and Blood of Jesus according to Scripture and the Church Fathers" not, "are the Scriptures that claim the Eucharist is the Body and Blood of Jesus historically reliable". I wouldn't mind debating these issues, but they simply aren't what is being debated here. My resolution is clearly one that is exegetical in nature, not one that is oriented to historical-criticism or the reliability of the New Testament. You explicitly stated: "You have no other support for your claim than the fact that the Bible says that the Eucharist is the body and blood of Jesus Christ." At this point, you lost the debate, because you conceded that which we were debating, which is, whether Scripture and the Church Fathers teach that the Eucharist is the Body and Blood of Jesus. I must say, I'm very disappointed because I was really looking forward to debating this issue.
The Catholic Eucharist is the Body and Blood of Jesus according to Scripture and the Church Fathers.

You have no other support for your claim than the fact that the Bible says that the Eucharist is the body and blood of Jesus Christ. What evidence do you have that the Bible is true? The fact that the Bible calls itself flawless is not support for its validity, since you would need some kind of outside proof that it is; otherwise, you are begging the question (note: begging the question, a logical fallacy, is different from raising the question). To see how this is so, let's imagine that I wrote a book in which I claim to be God. In this book I would make two statements: 1) Unicorns exist (the equivalent of 'the Eucharist is the Body and Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ') 2) This book is the word of God (who is always truthful) and is therefore free of error Let's say that I gave you this book and said, 'Hey, this book is true! Unicorns really exist!' You would likely say 'Why should I believe that this book is true?' From that point, using the logic you employed to support the Eucharist being the body and blood, I could start a circular argument like this: 1) Because the book is written by God. (how do you know that?) 2) Because the book says so. (how do you know the book is right?) 3) Because the book is never wrong. (how do you know that?) 4) Repeat steps 1-3 If I have nothing to support my fictitious book other than the book itself, then, by employing the logic above to defend its validity, I am committing a logical fallacy. A fallacious argument is not able to support a claim; this is not to say that just because someone uses a logical fallacy to support a claim that the claim is necessarily wrong; if you can support your claim by other means then it can be considered true. However, if the only evidences you have to back up your claim are fallacious arguments then your claim cannot be considered true by any right-minded individual.

Evolution vs Creation

alright first off those plants would be grown after the flood second the bible said Noah took two of each KIND of animal not every SPECIES of animals so that would only be 16,000 http://www.answersingenesis.org... third those creationists are not real creationists real creationists completely deny evolution the (evolution you are talking about) if these animals bred together it would be much shorter than "evolving". fourth the platypus and monkey the kangaroo and the koala had a lot of predators. they would rather run then fight so as the water rises and lowers they find themselves stuck on Australia or wherever with no predators fifth the bible agrees with that so I don't no why you brought that up sixth the layers are scientifically wrong http://www.answersingenesis.org... also look at this picture of the geologic column http://www.google.ca... notice the stuff that can not so easily climb is at the bottom. then the decent climbers and so on and so forth. so what I am saying is as layers of mud come through other animals are buried also your wrong that no 2 animals are in the same column http://creation.com... so you are wrong on that seventh there are no such thing as vestigial organs http://www.creationinthecrossfire.com... and question #8 makes no sense
Evolution vs Creation

Let's talk about the flood of noah. Out of all the creationist discrepancies, this has to the all out worst. 1. Why are plants still around after a flood that covers the entire world. They would be killed 2. How could so many species fit on the ark, it's physically impossible. 3. Creationist say that only a few species were on the ark, but these species evolved into the ones we see today. That makes no sense, how can you possibly explain the biodiversity of the world with only 4000 years of evolution? 4.Let's take the example of the platypus. The Platypus is found only in Australia, though a larger form of platypus has been found in fossil form in south america. Assuming the ark lands in the mountains of Arrat in Turkey, per the bible, how and why did all the small platypuses travel all the way from turkey to australia. And why did the large platypuses go to south america, this is still assuming they could travel from turkey to America. Same goes with monkeys, new world monkeys are very different from old world monkeys. They couldn't have evolved in 4000 years 5. We can trace civilizations father back then 2000bc 6.Sediment layers provide a major problem for creationism. Why are no species from one layer in another layer. They all lived in the same time span right? 7. Vestigal organs are also problematic. Why do we have organs or bones we can't use. Why do WHALES have LEG bones. Because whales once had legs. Why would god give whales these leg bones? 8. Hominids like Neanderthals are to human to be ape but aren't quite human. They don't show up in Genesis.

you are wrong the appendix actually is useful http://articles.mercola.com... also male nipples are useful but I will not get into it for the sake of viewers. also the coccyx has muscles attached around it without which we could not do a lot of valuable things. again for the sake of the viewers I will not get into it. http://www.dailymail.co.uk... also tonsils are useful so are wisdom teeth http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com... same with body hair you can ask all the questions you want but I will make sure to answer them all. there is another reason why something you call useless is useful http://blog.drwile.com... also ear muscles help with your eardrum without them you could not hear. And just because monkeys or apes have 13 ribs and some humans do whatever how does that prove evolution? http://contenderministries.org... also carbon dating is wrong there is another link.so there is a whole lot of your questions wrong. and according to the bible the earth may be up to 10,000 years old so how is the Chinese civilization thing wrong also the sloths may have been in redwood trees for all we know so if they were buried they would be at the top.well that is wrong also the bible says there were two of the kinds of the animals on the ark and ken ham said there was 2 of every kind on the ark if you are going to full-on attack creationists please get your facts straight for proof of what ken ham said watch is video seminars about the ark also notice in genesis it does not say species but KINDS so there would not be very many KINDS of animals on the ark 2 KINDS of dogs 2 KINDS of cats. so on and so forth. and also so what a couple of so-called-Christians say that creationism is false and the creationists did not exactly say "everyone used to believe in Genesis until the evils of evolution came in and screwed up the world." quote on quote minus spelling mistakes. and the Spanish Inquisition god does not order others to kill others because of racist attitudes so I wonder whether or not they were truly Christians. If you can find one bible verse hat says to kill others because of racist attitudes I would like to see it because I have read the whole book and I think I would ave noticed something. and if you want to go down the Christians are bad because here is a quote from a mass murderer on evolution If a person doesn"t think there is a God to be accountable to, then"then what"s the point of trying to modify your behavior to keep it within acceptable ranges? That"s how I thought anyway. I always believed the theory of evolution as truth, that we all just came from the slime.
