Alien may exist.

I like to make an argument(reasoning) about this topic Maximum of 2,000 characters only per side. definition:Extraterrestrial life (from the Latin words: extra ["beyond", or "not of"] and terrestris ["of or belonging to Earth"]) is defined as life that does not originate from Earth. It is often also referred to as alien life, or simply aliens (or space aliens, to differentiate from other definitions of alien or aliens). These hypothetical forms of life range from simple bacteria-like organisms to beings far more complex than humans. *I will take pro side and prove that an alien may exist.My opponent will take the con side and prove that there is no chance that an alien exist. Round 1 is for acceptance. Good luck to us :D RESOURCE: http://en.wikipedia.org...

Sonic x Pikachu: Pika is a repressed woman in a man's body that's why he puts on this cute front, to hide his emotional pain. Pika will always put Ash first at heart. He ain't got time for some nutjob on speed. Plus Knuckles wants a 3somw w/ Sonic and Shadow. T&T No Ponies never did labour, horses did. Ponies are socio-economically worlds apart from traveller's horses. They be at a mansion in the countryside, where Thomas can never access. Plus Thomas has too many worker strikes to handle in the city. G&B Whilst in jail, barney will lose his smile and hang himself. Godzilla will not give 2 fvcks. OP & Wall-E How dare you disrespect Megatron?!, do you know he's in your house right now, disguised as yo momma's car. He will be the supreme leader of the universe. Optimus is too busy switching sides playing mind games w/ everyone, getting a boner over Megan Fox, whereas Mega doesn't F about. E will be slaughtered and recycled quick time. B&C Because Bendy is a slut, he will sleep w/ anyone n anything. Cuphead will discover this, and they will both have a massive domestic. Plus Mugman will contract ink poison based HIV from Bendy, n he'll pass that on to Boris. --------------------------------------------------- It looks I've won by 3 ships to 2. Parrrrrrtttyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1- Yeshua x Yoda you have not countered my arguement here, im guessing you couldnt find a comeback for that one 2-PP x BB yeah, but he still has to worry about those random holes that he cant go around for some reason, so going to bowser might take weeks, only for bowser to take her the next week, and how would his , and how would lofty feel that his boyfriend is going out with some girl? 3- fred x Angelica fred is still made of fabric, so it might be costly to his health if hes it with angelica's water gun or scissors when playing with him. 5- mad hatter x noah Mad hatter still wouldn't know what alcohol is though, but you have forgotten that yeshua confessed his love to noah, so the first and 5th ships while good, would be impossible.

1- The YG gang Yeshua is perfect for Yoda, the two can combine their high levels of intellect, and finally teach Darth Sith some morality lessons. 2- PP/BB Like I said Bob wont need to prance around on shrooms like mario. He'll simply give Bowser a ring, tell him hes coming later, then turn up a week later demanding tea and biscuits. Bowser will enjoy Bobs company bc hes not an arrogant pr1ck like mario, Bowser will kindly hand PP over to Bob. Bob will even repair the damage caused by mario free of charge. 3-Fat Tony needs a lookout on the streets after Selma drove half his crew insane with her BO, PLUS Top Cat needs a promotion. Its a natural fit. 4-Fred likes to get dirty, Freds team is notoriously famous for their dirty tactics. Freds getting a bit old n he easily sees Angelica as an ideal child.Another perfect duo. 5-Who said theyre in wonderland??, i said theyre are both in rehab. They be best buds sharing all sorts of events n experiences. Did you know Yeshua briefly visited this crackship to pay Noahs medical bill. 100k, jeez, the Queen of Hearts must have threatened the doctors or sumin.

Sonic x Pickachu Don't you remember? knuckles now likes shadow, and didn't ash cheat on Pikachu with squirtle? why would Pikachu care about how ash feels, sonic likes chilling out, so is Pikachu, I mean how do you think sonic can turn yellow? he is obviously pregnant with Pikachu's baby. Twilight X Thomas if ponies like living in the county, than why in olden times could you see them in cities? totally compatable. and even if thast was true, doesn't Thomas live in a mix of country and city? Godzilla x Barney Godzilla could relate with barney, with his own messed up love life (Mothra, MUTO, Biolante, Anguirus) Godzilla is not a cannibal, barney is the same species as him, Godzilla could break him out of jail, and barney could help fight king kong Optimous Prime x Wall-e didn't wall-e's social awkwardness give him a robo babe? and how will megatron beat Wall-e? he tanked a giant platform crushing him! megatron's foot is nothing! Bendy x Cuphead Why would bendy want to have an affair with Mugman? that's boris BF bro, he cant do him like that, besides, bendy would get impressed in how cuphead manages the obstacle of no return (the Cuphead tutorial), crossing that can get anyone to fall head over heels for you.

Your ships: 1: Sonic x Pikachu Mate, how do you think Knuckles will react to this relationship heyy?1?!, I mean he already has anger issues. Likewise Ash will be heartbroken by Pikachu meeting someone else. It will never work. Sonic's prime MO in life is to collect dollar and defeat an ugly evil scientist, whereas Pika' is all about having fun and being thee franchise guy. 2: Twilight x Thomas Totally Incompatible, ponies need open air, freedom, and a countryside environment. Whereas Thomas is literally a blue collared industrial worker, tied down to his profession. He'll never get a break, esp. w/ the Fat Controller running things. 3: Godzilla x Barney Godzilla can never be seen with such as a paedophilic child hugger. Godzilla is hangry, he will physically maul Barney, and no amount of song can prevent this. Barney will be sent to jail for molesting children, and G-Z will forever be in the eternal war with King Kong. 4: OPrime x Wall-E Prime plays with the big leagues, Wall-E is a reclusive loner, Prime will get fed up of Es social awkwardness and hand him over to Bumblebee, and those two can fvck around playing shenanigans. Megatron will squash E quick time, so Prime can't afford to gave E hang around w/ the crew. 5: Bendy x Cuphead Well since Cuphead is forever indebted to the devil, Bendy (being a demon) will eventually take advantage of this, and use his evilness to create contemptuous obstacles, because he secretly fancies Mugman, and wants an affair w/ him.

round 3 shall be the round where we contradict each others crackships. round 4, shall be countering the contradictions and 5 shall be the same as round 3 1- Yoda x Yeshua You have forgotten that Yoda has made some pretty questionable decisions in the senate, and since yeshua is all about cleansing sin, he would question yoda's rather sneaky and corrupt tactics, yoda would also question Yeshua need to take away the darkness, because a certain amount of darkness is needed to maintain balance. so it wouldn't be a stable relationship. Princess peach x bob the builder yes, but princess peach gets kidnapped at least once a week, bob the builder has his emotional limits, think about it, he has to drive though eight worlds, get attacked by monsters, and fight a giant turtle monster at least once a week, it would be very stress-inducing for the two. 3-Top cat x Fat tony fat tony has lots off alliance members and likes working with big teams, top cat only has 1 or 2 henchmen, this would leave fat tony unimpressed 4- angelica x fred the red devil Angelica, being 3 years old, likes making messes on her doll to make her look cute, this could lead to having fred having mud stains all over him, plus, with his damaged ego, it wouldn't last long. Mad hatter x Noah Yeah, but their similarities would be too far apart, mad hatter wouldn't be interested in a guy that collects animals, and noah cant find interest in a guy who has tea parties when hes trying to save the animals, plus, mad hatter perfers tea, and would be confused what noah is drinking (note: their is no beer in the wonderland) lets see what you have to say about my ships. over to you.

Unlike my opponent, my five star pairings will not be interested in reproduction, but rather eternal friendship. 1- Yoda x Yeshua; Both are polarising, patronising leaders of a movement. Both know what they are doing in life, but need to operate from behind-the-scenes to avoid persecution.Yeshua is the master of cleansing sin, whereas yoda will fvck u up with his dyslexic words of wisdom.The perfect turn your cheek counter attacking duo. 2- Princess Peach x Bob the Builder: WE all know Princess Peach has Stockholm Syndrome to Bowser, but did you Bob can fix that. Nuff said. Ps Bob has the expertise and skills to free her well before Mario stops prancing around with shrooms, the druggy. Both BB + PP are dedicated to their profession, you cant deny that. 3-Top Cat x Fat Tony- The ultimate Mafia alliance, both have the feds in their back pocket and both are highly entertaining womanisers. 4- Fred the Red Devil x Angelica Rugrats- Both act like the antagonistic pr1cks w/ fragile egos, this one will take time to shine. Freds ego has been damaged ever since SAF retired from football management, but Freds still out there causing beef w/ the opposition. And since hes a mascot, he can motivate n protect Angelica whenever she has a tantrum. 5-Mad Hatter x Noah- Both are clearly high on LSD, and live in rehab . Mad Hatter is a Psycho thats obvious, but lets talk about his crackden roomie, the alcoholic delusional old man known as Noah, my man heard voices, he tried to gather animals on his imaginary ship, but they kept killing eachother. Plus he shat himself when told a dove to fly, and it did!! Its evident these 2 will get along just fine, just like all my crackship duos. Over to you "Dagger.

1) Sonic x Pikachu (similarity: both are fast) Sonic and Pikachu are both fast, this would give them a reason to hang out, with similer abilities and such, Pikachu talked once, so sonic would know that Pikachu understands him, their sexualities are not confirmed so we know they will go out Twilight sparkle x Thomas the tank engine (similarity: both have colorful friends) While I have never seen my little pony, Twilight is a horse, so naturally she would want to hang out with other horses, and Thomas being a train (aka iron horse) she would likely hang out with him, thus feelings would start to grow Godzilla x Barney (similarity: both are dinosaurs) in order for an animal to reproduce, they must find a mate as the same kind as them, correct? that's no different for kaiju, Godzilla would likely see that barney is the same kind as him, correct? animals can also be homosexual, so its possible for Godzilla to like boys, barney would gladly agree for the same reasons, plus, his sexuality could be homo too! Optimous prime x Wall-E (similarity: both are robots) Optimous prime has lost tons of friends and has been feeling alone, same for wall-e, this could lead to them hanging out, and for feelings to develop, plus, optimous could see wall-e as an autobot, because he can transform into a cube Bendy X Cuphead (similarity: both are inspired from cartoons) Cuphead and bendy would see each other as fellow toons and gradually hang out, plus, with cupheads powers, he would be a great help hunting down the protagonist, eventully feelings will develop.
Equality in the Olympic Games.

ok hold up for a sec, i think you are taking this completly the wrong directoin. I clearly said female are not fighting for equality in all field except in field that benefit them. my point here is IF FEMALE WANT EQUALITY THEN THAT SHOULD ALSO INCLUDE WITHING THE OLYMPIC GAMES. i dont know how you are comparing this situation too that of slavery. the fight to end slavery was not dont just by the slaves themslef, slave owner where involve as well as the whole world. it was a world wide situatoin, and it included both genders and all race. so eqaulity was definitely a must, and they where not picking which slave gets cerntain rights, they where fighting for right in absolutely all field with non exception. equality: the state or quality of being equal; correspondence in quantity, degree, value, rank, or ability (Dicitionary.com) the above definition of equality is definitly not leaving any exceptions. So if that is what female want, then their should be no exception in any field that present female and male. you just said being feminist is about equality overall, in matters of life, if its so about equality overall matter in life, then why do we have exception on physical performace in the olympic? why don't they fight to set the same time as men in all event? why must their be a specific stander time for females?
Equality in the Olympic Games.

To be honest, I don't know much about the Olympics, so I apologize for that in advance and will do a quick bit of research on it. However... Even with what little I know on the subject, I disagree with you. Because someone doesn't fight for equality, they don't deserve it? So with that in mind... I suppose slavery was A-Ok because not many slaves didn't speak up about it, if we were to apply your logic to the situation. Being a feminist is not about complaining about men being treated better and blowing a fuse when somebody opens a door for you out of common decency. It's about equality overall, in all matters of life. Also, there are quite a few female athletes. And so, there should be equality in the Olympic games.
Equality in the Olympic Games.

this new generation females are fighting for equality with men, except not in all area, just area that benefit them. for example they want same wage as men, same job as men, same respect and reputatoin as men, and many more others. But in the olympic they are not complaining about the stander for qualification, female record for the olympic is not even close to that of men, yet they are still in the olympic with their own stander records. and out side the field they want equality.
Equality in the Olympic Games.

i'm trying to get you to agree that, if females want EQUALITY, they should get it in full package. the committee you are talking about, they are fighting for something else, not equality as a whole, instead they are fighting for things like fairness, recognition, promotions, benefits, Title, and right to participate. through-tout the history of the game, their have been great athletes with outstanding records. the game was a men game, it was not intended for female, if they want to participate in these game, then they should have a completely separate evens and days, since they have their own stander records, and claiming that they are just as able as men, if they are indeed just as able as men, then we should cancel their stander and make all the athletes go by men stander time. if they say otherwise then they are clearly not fighting for equality. Because that is by all means EQUALITY. If female cannot keep up with male in the olympic, then why are they fighting for equality in all these other field when they know, clearly that is not what they really want? when the right for female participation was establish in the olympic it was not because female think they are equal to men, but because they wanted to be a part of the game, they want to simple be a part of it.
Equality in the Olympic Games.

If I misunderstood you, I apologize. I thought you were stating that women should NOT have rights in the Olympics simply because there is seemingly no major movement, and that was why I was mentioning slavery. Well anyhow, women are fighting for rights in the Olympics and in sports. I believe you are referring to the double standard certain feminist use... How some want equality, but only in areas that interest them. I will not deny that certain female feminists are like this... However, this does not make up the majority. There were things in the past movements such as Title IX, which was meant to advance gender equality in athletics and to limit discrimination. There are feminist movements in place to fight for equality in sports-- some simply aren't as well known as current ones, is all. Women fought to play sports in the past, and as time progresses, women will eventually play sports with men as equals. There is the International Olympic Committee, which is committed to gender equality in sporting events. There is also the Feminist Majority Foundation. The problem with feminism today is that it branches out and tries to attack every problem separately, which makes the effects weaker. So yes, I can agree that feminists could do MORE to fight for equality in sporting events such as the Olympics... But to say they aren't doing anything at all is untrue. It is merely that the efforts are not oranigzed and as strong as they could be.
A metaphysical Supreme Being exists.

Thank you for posting this debate… Good luck! I'll start with actually providing the dictionary definitions of the terms (from dictionary.com): [DEFINE-metaphysics] 1.the branch of philosophy that treats of first principles, includes ontology and cosmology, and is intimately connected with epistemology. [DEFINE- metaphysical] 1.pertaining to or of the nature of metaphysics. 2.Philosophy. a.concerned with abstract thought or subjects, as existence, causality, or truth. b.concerned with first principles and ultimate grounds, as being, time, or substance. [DEFINE- supreme] 1.highest in rank or authority; paramount; sovereign; chief. [DEFINE- being] 1.the fact of existing; existence (as opposed to nonexistence). 2.conscious, mortal existence; life: Our being is as an instantaneous flash of light in the midst of eternal night. 3.substance or nature: of such a being as to arouse fear. 8. Philosophy. a.that which has actuality either materially or in idea. b.absolute existence in a complete or perfect state, lacking no essential characteristic; essence. [DEFINE- exists] 1. To have actual being; be real. 2. To have life; live: one of the worst actors that ever existed. 3. To live at a minimal level; subsist: barely enough income on which to exist. BY DEFINITION if something is metaphysical it can't be supreme, it can't be a being and it can't exist. Metaphysical things, from a philosophical standpoint, are abstract thoughts or subjects, as such they're non existent beyond the mind in which they're conceived. Even if one shares that thought with another person, even if the other person accepts it to be true, it still remains nothing more than a concept which does not exist beyond the minds of those people. I would also like to point out that one might argue that NOTHING exists beyond the mind of a person, but existence of the world around us is not in question and is an ENTIRELY different debate.
A metaphysical Supreme Being exists.

A metaphysical Supreme Being exists. I affirm. Definitions: 1) Metaphysical: Not-physical, supernatural. 2) Supreme Being: A being greater then humans or any natural being 3) Exists: In actuality of some form Debate Outline: Pro/Con burden - Since proving or disproving the existence of a Supreme Being is directly impossible (At this time, then the burden to win is simple. Break the scale to one side. This is not an absolutist resolution, its a scale resolution. I.e. Neither the aff or neg needs to prove or disprove the resolve totally. ================================================================================= *I'll let Con make the first move* (Since he/she is the guest)
A metaphysical Supreme Being exists.

Ok, I'll attack my opponents summary: 1) A "non-contingent supreme being" is in fact contingent because it was conceived/created by people, which are also contingent. My Response: My opponent is saying that this "Supreme Being" is in fact contingent, because the idea comes from people, which are contingent. Then you can turn my opponents argument. You can say that the NON-Existence of a Supreme Being is therefore a fallacy because people conceived this idea. This is really a circular argument which neither affirms or negates, it pretty much neutral. 2) Ontology only proves that people can't come up with truly unique concepts, even if something seems unique, it's still drawn from previous experience and/or knowledge. My Response: My opponent doesn't seem to understand the WHOLE idea of what im trying to say. The idea of god is yes drawn from peoples understanding, like, the picture from Google. However, according to the ontological argument, this doesn't matter because god in essence is the greatest of which cannot be truly conceived. Since our mind cannot grasp a total creator, we make adjustment. But the idea of a greater creator is there. Like when I think of God, I don't think of an old man. I think of nothing really, but I see his works, i.e. the universe. 3) The universe could be infinite, requiring no beginning and no end, therefore no need for the existence of a "non-contingent" thing. My Response: This cannot be possible because all events occur from a beginning one. By saying this my opponent, indirectly, is saying that time doesn't exist. Time is based on a first prime event, then moves to intermediate events, then to an end. Link to Argument of Motion. Time can only exist if there was a beginning. Also, use the "House" example. This is: Say a hotel manager had a hotel with an infinite amount of space. All the rooms are full. A guest comes in and wants a room. Now, its possible to put that guest, however impossible. All the rooms are full, but since its infinite the hotel manager just has to push another room into it. But remember the rooms are full. See that logical dilemma? Something contingent, CANNOT be infinite. 4) Lack of knowledge in some area does not constitute the need for a supernatural explanation, on the contrary, history has shown us that every time we gain more knowledge we eliminate yet another supernatural explanation, My Response: This is indeed true. However all the examples, like gravity are all natural laws. Its impossible for natural laws to have begun by itself. The beginning is the question. My opponent still has not explained how its possible for either: A) The universe to have created itself or B) The possibility of a pre-existing universe. since he has not done this, and I have provided logical evidence to point to a Supreme Being, u can affirm this resolve. =============================================================================== Thank you ladies and gentlemen.
