Ending Daylight Saving

Daylight savings time actually helps the economy. According to http://voices.yahoo.com... Daylight Savings Time allows for more daylight hours which entice tourists to stay out later and spend more money. Since people stay out later during the summer months, it boost sales for taxi and public transportation. The same applies for tourists. They may experience losing track of time when they travel, but that only happens the day the clocks are changed. The following day everyone is all caught up with what time it is. As far as businesses are concerned, they cannot expect to lose that much money if they lose business for an hour. In fact the revenue they receive from the shoppers buying later than usual in the summer months completely outweigh whatever revenue they miss from that hour of confusion. Daylight savings actually helps boost our economy and help with business revenue. Conclusion: Daylight Savings time should not be banned.

I agree that there is many benefits toward daylight savings, but there is also many dangers as well. Also you are right that the article did not address the type of issue that daylight saving cause on families, business, and the community. To reinforce my statement on the effect of daylight saving toward businesses, a article from the website: http://www.adelaidenow.com.au... states ""People come into town at what they think is 9pm and it's 11.30pm and you miss out on them or you're serving them or checking them in very late. What is really going on is people, especially tourist, lose track of time when they travel from place to place thinking they will arrive to their destination early to shop and fuel the economy with their money. Since daylight saving off set the clock, the tourist comes into town later than expected causing businesses to "miss" these customers because of the time difference. Once this occurs many business will see a loss of profit because they were not able to serve these customers at normal business hours. Not being able to serve these customers make business suffer as well as the economy too. Conclusion: daylight saving should be banned because it affect businesses and the economy negatively.

I agree no one should have health concerns if they are linked to Daylight Savings, but you have not addressed as to what health issues they are and how daylight savings is the reason for it for farmers specifically. You also state that Daylight Savings has adverse effects on families, businesses, and communities, but how? Premise 1: On the contrary, Daylight Savings has proved to improve family dynamics and quality time. Because the sun is out longer during the day, parents are able to stay longer outdoors playing with their children in the park giving children more time to interact with their parents. Instead of being indoors watching TV or on the computer, it gives families a chance to enjoy the increased daylight leisure by engaging in outdoor activities and dining outdoors. http://www.timeanddate.com... Premise 2: Although we lose an hour of sleep with daylight savings, studies show that it puts people in a better mood. According to the Data Science Team, a study was done on Facebook where people statuses and Facebook "moods" were monitored the morning after Daylight Savings. There was a 19% increase of a happy mood and a 21% increase in feeling great and feelings of being annoyed, sad, or bored decreased significantly in comparison to other Mondays before the Daylight Savings time change. Having more sunlight during the day (someone's workday, school, etc.) increases people's positive mood and overall makes people happy. http://www.theatlantic.com... Conclusion: Because Daylight Savings contributes to enhanced family quality time and an increase in an overall positive mood within people, it should not be banned.
Ending Daylight Saving

it may me true that i may have interpret premises 3 wrong and it may me true that there are starting to be more day light in the day but i do not believe that this is the same for the morning people. The reason i say that is that because your article states " Daylight Saving Time saves energy for lighting in all seasons of the year, but it saves least during the four darkest months of winter (November, December, January, and February), when the afternoon advantage is offset by the need for lighting because of late sunrise". Since in those "dark month" sunrise occurs late it usually dark and that darkness still account for increase chances for traffic accident. Farmers also express health concerns which is linked to daylight savings. Nobody should not have their health jeopardize because of daylight saving. This make daylight savings dangerous toward the U.S population and must be addressed. Therefore, daylight saving should be banned because it will save lives for doing so. Also, daylight savings have an adverse impact on families, business and communities. If this is so, than banning daylight saving will do more good than bad because America strives on strong businesses. Good business gives jobs to people to raise a family. If daylight savings affect business negatively, than business will not function properly which can result in lay-off or loss of profit which could be used to increase a healthier workforce which is being able to higher more people for jobs.
Ending Daylight Saving

Premise 1: Daylight Savings does "shorten" the day for us, but it does not necessarily put people at risk of being killed or robbed. Daylight savings allows that sunrise begins at around 7 A.M. Most people work a 9-5 jobs and will most likely leave their house around 7:30- 8:30 A.M. in which the sun is already out. Along with the adults, children also tend to be heading to school around 7- 8 A.M., so they are not leaving their homes when it is dark and when supposed robberies and murders are occurring. Your source also does not state at what time the robberies and murders occur, therefore I cannot see this as a reason to end daylight savings. Premise 2: Daylight savings time would not hinder the farming industry, in fact it may help. I don't see how it would interfere with production rates if daylight savings does not take away the sun, but rather the sun is out at a slightly different time, Daylight savings may actually help farmers as they are able to rest a little longer and not have to wake up so early since the sun is out one hour later. Premise 3: You have misinterpreted your source as it is explaining that your premise is a proven benefit of daylight savings time. Premise 4: http://www.webexhibits.org... Daylight savings originated in order to have more sunlight during the day to save energy. Having more sunlight during the day decreases the use of artificial lighting and use of electricity. People usually use electricity when they get up in the morning and when they return home from work/school. Having sunlight for a longer period of time during the day, allows people to plan outdoor activities and not to be home during that extra time of sunlight. When people are not home, they do not turn on the appliances or lights. Sunset now is usually around 7:00 P.M. and some people who directly get home, get home when the sun is still out and still there would be no need for the use of artificial lighting for some time. Therefore, we should not end daylight savings.

My topic is about ending daylight saving time For this argument i will be Pro According to the website: http://www.timeanddate.com... The writer says "Other complaints about daylight saving include the safety fears in the dark mornings, especially for school children waiting for a bus in some areas. The result of such concerns was that there was no daylight saving time in 2008 for countries such as Guatemala. The government's main concern was the safety of those who went early to work or study, stating that if daylight saving was implemented, they would be leaving their homes in the dark, the time when crime was at its highest, putting them in potentially dangerous situations." P1 Children and Parents is at risk for a higher chances of crime to occur among them because of daylight saving. making the day short and the night long (daylight saving), will cause parents and children who go to school early, to leave their house in the dark because of daylight saving. In hours of darkness is where the most crime is committed. Therefore, daylight saving is putting our kids and love ones at risk of being killed and robbed by others. According to the website http://www.timeanddate.com... The writer also states "Farming groups have also expressed anti-daylight saving views, saying that daylight saving time had a significant adverse impact on rural families, businesses, and communities. There are also those who express health concerns linked with daylight saving time. " P2 The benefit of not having daylight savings is it will help businesses such as farming to produce their crop faster and not worrying about daylight saving interfering with their production rates with it essential because the more the farmer produce, the less family needs to pay for food in the market. Another reason why we should not use daylight saving is found on the website http://www.businessweek.com... which states "Most important, however, is the fact that DST saves lives. Simply put, darkness kills. Extending DST year-round would save more than 350 American lives annually in reduced traffic fatalities during the evening. According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, the change from daylight to twilight causes a 300% increase in fatal pedestrian crashes alone. Having this change occur one hour later saves lives because fewer motorists are on the road then. P3 Not having daylight saving can reduce motorist accident by 300 percent and save lives Conclusion We should end daylight saving
I deserve to win this debate

By artificially creating a scenario in which you would win no matter what, can be considered begging for a win. If they vote for you, you would win through points, if they vote for me, you would win the debate topic question, "Do you deserve to win this debate?" So instead of placing the BoF upon yourself, you have skillfully placed it upon your opponent. With your ability to debate, you would assuredly defeat lesser debaters and thus win through points, but if a more skilled debater were to take up your debate, they would be using that skill for you and not for themselves. In fact, it is far easier to show why you must lose this debate than why you should win it, proving that your opponent would have to be sufficiently skilled enough to overcome the false negatives you write. This supposition of being undeserving that you unrightfuly hold is only proven wrong by this sneaky and underhanded debate tactic, and despite all of the "rule-breaking" that you have performed, I think the audience of voters are keenly aware of your ingenuity in coming up with such a fiendishly brilliant plan. Let not thy reader cast their eyes upon the sins of Piedude64 and be judgmental. Let him, who be wise and kind, noble and knowing, vote for my opponent for I find him more worthy".
I deserve to win this debate

I ask my opponent, isn't the fact that I made this debate to long just to extend my attributes, and waste your time along with our voters time just go against me when it comes to conduct? I would also like to point out that if I were committed I would most likely spend more than 3 minuets creating my arguments. I also am not arguing that I WON'T win, just that I shouldn't. and now a poem: Roses are blue Daisy are green Wait... can I go back and fix that? I have now gone off topic and my argument is no longer related to the debate and therefore I should lose. Also if the voters vote for me it means I should win, but if they vote for you, they voted that I should win, which means I should win in this situation my argument will never) be correct, meaning I don't deserve to win. I also ask my opponent, how can I be begging for a win if my argument is literally that I should lose the debate?
I deserve to win this debate

Your use of compliments and insults in the same round, and directed towards the same person, shows your commitment to this debate. As unlikely as it is that someone will vote for either side, they will undoubtedly be confused as to which side they should vote for, since your argument flows in both directions, thus insuring that you will win. This viable tactic will surely mean that a win is assured for you, since if either side is voted for, it will be in your favor. However, I would like to point out that this debate might have been better with one round, rather than four. You need not extend your obvious winnable attributes until they are redundant, conciseness is preciseness.
I deserve to win this debate

Reasons why I should Lose this debate 1) Remember what i said earlier about thanking pro? WELL I LIED! Pro sucks and is NOT a worthy opponent. By stating this I should lose points on conduct. 2) Sppelling and gramer` this sentance has much sppelling & gramer errors; so I shuld lose points on dat section 4) I have no sources and therefore my information is not reliable. 21) If you vote for me that means that you think I deserve to lose in which case my opponent should win. 5) My opponent is smarter than me his profile says he has a 157 IQ while mine is between 140 and 150 meaning that his iq is higher than mine. Therefore he should be able to provide more logical, and smarter reasons. ..
I deserve to win this debate

Aw, what the hell. Not every debate should be serious. You deserve to win this debate because you're begging for it. Those who care enough about winning ought to be handed free wins so that your self-esteem might rise. Your credibility as a debater might not increase much, but if winning is your only goal, then cred doesn't really matter to you. To say that you deserve to win this particular debate still leaves the question of whether you actually would, so perhaps by saying, "I will win this debate" it would increase the likelihood that you will, in fact, win. But, the topic title has already been decided, so we will see if my thinking you deserve a win, would actually bring about that very thing.
Church Denominations should each have their own flag

There are distinctions between denominations. Some of the distinctions are valid and important. However, a flag is not the way to explain such differences. There are core doctrines that unite all Christians, and the best use of a flag is to show that we are part of Christianity in general. Our focus should be on that which unites us instead of that which divides us. A single flag for all of Christianity is one way to do this.
Church Denominations should each have their own flag

It is true that the common Christian flag, while almost universally recognizes, is not universally used. That is a mistake. A single flag is sufficient. Without ignoring the distinctions between different denominations, Christians have only one. All Christians are part of one body in Christ. As Paul wrote in Ephesians 4:4-6, " There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all."* The Christian flag should represent this. Many different flags is show of disunity. A single flag recognizes that we have one faith in one Lord. Whatever is gained by unique flags for each denomination is more than outweighed by the damage done in focusing on what separates Christians from each other. While the differences in denominations can be meaningful, a flag is simple symbol and should focus on what is most important " the crucified and risen Christ. The message is best symbolized by a single flag used to represent all Christianity. Using different flags for different denominations is a mistake. *https://www.biblegateway.com...
Church Denominations should each have their own flag

Thank you for this debate :). You are correct, there is a common Christian flag...but not every denomination for instance the Lutherans and Episcopalian use it. The Episcopalians have their own flag that identifies and distinguishes them from other denominations, as do the Methodists. The Lutherans and Baptists, and other groups need their own denominational flags to show them as a unique denomination.I will explain more in the later rounds,thank you for this debate :)
Cows Are Evil

If you support animal rights, then you shouldn't be so hateful towards cows. Honestly, it brings tears to my eyes. We cows love humans, though some may not love us. Cows are not evil, and I just understand what your hate for us spawns from. To conclude, I really trust that eventually you'll realize that the bovine race wants to live in harmony with you. We don't hate you, want to rape you, or want to kill you. What we want is to be treated as equals, friends, even. We want to live along side you in a beautiful symbiotic relationship. Thank you.
Cows Are Evil

This is the closing round. Only two lines allowed for final rebuttal. Three for conclusion. I did not go to mutilate that horse, where's your proof you sheep shagger! I was just taking a tour for publicity and to support animal rights. Because all animals other than the self entitled cows should be able to vote. In conclusion, you should not trust your cow because they want to end you. Eat all the beef you want friends, because if you don't the beef will eat you. The cows have been planning their white rebellion for years now, and we cannot stand for another bovan republic. Join arms with me, for cows are evil.
Cows Are Evil

Insolent Human, Anyone can clearly see that your arguments are ridiculous. I was there when you "visited" that horse, i was there, watching. I saw what you did. I saw things that i can never unsee. I saw you mutilate that poor mammal, and i saw start to chew on its flesh. You are disgusting! Then you blame the results of your sick mental disease on innocent creatures who only harm in self defense, or when provoked. You seriously need to rethink what you are saying here. When you went to "help" that horse, you tried to load it into your truck, then put it under a tarp. Now, pertaining to us telling you to moove, and looking threatening, we were trying to send you a message to leave that poor horse alone. The only thing that stopped you from turning that horse into stew is me sending a message to the police, but then you blamed the injuries the horse sustained, on a good race: cows. I rest my case.
Cows Are Evil

You are misinterpreting my argument good lady, for cows have stomped humans before, and also if there are very few accounts of cows that doesn't mean that cows aren't biding their time until they rise up and create another country. I have some more evidence to present today. Firstly, I have been around cows before. They kept yelling moove at me because they were probably hiding their secret weapons under the hay. I also saw a horse when a visited the cows. When i came to see the cows again later I saw that the horse was writhing on the floor and was seriously injured. I went to help the horse but then the cows yelled moove again and then moved their heads down near the grass, most certainly ready to charge if I did not move. I ran as fast as I could through the night as I heard loud footsteps, and I never returned to the vet hospital again. Please Cows, explain why cows would learn english to tell me to moove and kill that innocent horse?
Cows Are Evil

First of all, I realize that this debate is over whether or not cows are evil. My argument was simply proving that cows are good, great, even. Now, you sir, typed about cows wanting to rape your wife for one, and us wanting to roll over and kill you for two. So, there has never even once been an account of a cow raping a human, but there have been several cases of humans raping cows. Second, if we wanted to roll over and kill you, we would've already done it.
Cows Are Evil

May i respectfully say to my opponent that this debate is over whether or not cow are evil and in no way over how we should treat them. Next, i will refute my opponents argument. I will speak in first person. Cows, your argument is invalid. Milk does not come out of the cow's penis, it comes out of the utters, obviously. To continue, cows like splattering us with their white milk. They know that milk contributes to the development of facial acne and also that some people will die if they drink it. Also, cows are huge. Obviously, if cows are huge then they want to roll over us and destroy our organs so that they can reclaim all the grasses and then form a milk republic founded under the principles of the ancient Bovan republic, so if we start feeling for these cows they will take advantage of that and kill us all. Yes, you too you fat cow. Who do you think you are raping my sexy wife and then eating my children to contribute to you obesity? Your Turn.
Cows Are Evil

Hello. Main point: cows are great beautiful beings that fully contribute to society. I should know, i am one. First of all, imagine getting milked. Every day, my kind allows our tits to be jerked on until the sweet milk flows out. And we do this for FREE. Imagine, having some cow come up to you every morning, whip out your penis, squeeze it and rub it until the milk flows out, and then processing it and feeding it to anyone and everyone. This is cruel and disgusting, yet because we are great noble beings, we allow this to be done. We cows know how we deserve to be treated, we've experienced it in India. We know we are divine beings and you should be punished to the full extent of the law for murdering us to satisfy your sick cravings for cow! How would you feel if cows killed you, sent you to a butcher, then sent you on down to good old McDonalds for some fat pigs to shove your broken and cooked body down their sick gullets?! I rest my case.
Cows Are Evil

Hello, and welcome to the the debate over whether or not cows are evil. Uberdragon (me) is representing the pro side, while CowsAgainstHumanity (my good friend) is representing the con side. Before I begin may I say good luck to both of us. To begin, I hereby proclaim that all cow bovine things are super evil. Have you ever noticed that your cows are secretly plotting against you? Yes, they are! Your favorite milk creating four legged farm toy wants to shoot you and then rape your sexy wife (or husband). My evidence from this comes from the existence of Mad Cow Disease, which clearly states in the name that all cows are mad. Also I have personally found that all cows have beef and will want to throw hands with you until you die and cows rule the world!
