Kids shows go way over the limit.

So what? This debate is about kid's shows not South Park. Since you agree South Park is not a kid's show, it is outside the scope of this debate. That's so Raven: What was so wrong with this particular show? The star was denied a job because of her race but the show did not tell us such actions are appropriate, only that those actions affect people. I am not sure a black family would be upset about the show. Here is the recap for voters: . http://www.tv.com... The show centered on the courage of the children to stand up for themselves and fight unlawful discrimination. Why would a black family be unhappy about such a story? Why would any family? The story was focusing on black history month and racism in hiring is an important issue. Pro still has not shown how this is over the line. Suite life on deck: Pro feels the joke on this show was crude, but I think declaring the show "over the line" is a bit over the top. I do not want to repeat myself as Pro simply reworded her argument from the first round. The "hobby" involved is having children, and a spoiled teen character and only sibling makes a joke about doing something other than having children. Considering young children watch this show I support the statement. Find a hobby other than unprotected sex and baby making. Thank you Disney! Pro has not shown how this is over the line. I don't have much to go on here. Pro simply restated the argument; I showed in the previous round that such matters have been the subject of much older shows and seem to be on par. Going into our conclusions, Pro has not upheld the resolution.
Kids shows go way over the limit.

the reason i have compared south park to children shows is to show it's much of the same thing. My opponent has said that it is not a children show but even though much of the younger generation watches it My daughter goes to school were 5th graders watch that show. for thats so raven. Disney channel if showed towered little children I'm sure a black family would not be so happy having their 7 year old son/daughter watch something like that which is so directed towered their race. a Disney should not be like that. suit life on deck. same thing as above even though a 7 year old child would not get it the do not mention any thing of so called stork it was just a very dry idea of a joke they should have watered it more down such as "the stork must be tired" or "the stork should just have the mail man deliver them in your mail box" just saying "wow your mom needs a hobby" is very crude and should not be addressed that way.
Kids shows go way over the limit.

My opponent feels that kid shows are stepping over the line. The topic "kid shows" is very broad so I will stick to the examples my opponent provides for us. South Park: This show is inappropriate for children. I agree completely, but I do not see how this show is a kid's show. The show is aired late at night on a cable network and the language and humor clearly make this a show for an older audience. My opponent must provide some evidence that this show is meant for children. The fact that Cartman et al are children will not work as many movies featuring children are clearly inappropriate for children (The movie "Kids" is a perfect example). I submit to voters that South Park is not a show for children; therefore, it should not be held to the same content standards as youth based programming. Because this show is not for children, it cannot be used to show how shows for children go over the line. That's so Raven: Now this is a show targeted toward youths, I agree. Pro uses an example of an episode addressing racism. I submit to voters that racism and stereotypes are matters children deal with on a daily basis. The show's star is black and she was denied a job because of her race. Why is this bad for children to know? The show is bringing a common situation to light for younger viewers by showing how racism affects them and not just their parents. Some themes are better addressed with children by using examples relevant to them, like a first job. I see no problem here. I grew up in the ‘80's so such matters were addressed in many shows (The Cosby Show, 227, and A Different World). We have been here before. Shows meant for families deal with this subject all the time. Because history of television has shown that addressing racial issues is a common theme, I cannot say, based on Pro's argument, that addressing race puts a youth based show over the line. Suit Life on Deck. This is a show for youths, I agree. My niece watches it when we babysit her so I am familiar with Zach and Cody somewhat. The example provided by Pro addresses having multiple children and the off hand comment of "needing to get a hobby". Humor is a good way to address matters with children and unless the stork theory is still taught, most kids watching a show full of teenagers is probably aware that sex is involved with baby making. I see nothing wrong with a joke about finding a hobby outside of sex when talking to teens. I welcome it! I want that joke in every kid's show. This example does not bode well for Pro as sex can equal babies and teens need to think harder about engaging in such acts carelessly. Because sex is a subject that teens must come to terms with today, a show targeted to young teenagers is not out of line by making a joke concerning the act needed to produce multiple children. Some kid's shows have crossed the line, but I am only addressing the points Pro offered. At this point, the resolution is not confirmed.
Kids shows go way over the limit.

Kid shows go way over the limit. As though im a huge south park fan I feel it can lead to harm or discomfort of it's viewers. Not only that but child shows are being to be just as bad. for example: South Park: cartman always make some stupid comment about kyle being Jewish or some one being black or any minority you can possibly think of. That's so Raven: In a early episode talking about black history month Raven was going to apply at her favorite store called "Sassy's" Raven did not get the job because she is black but her white friend got the job even though she was really bad. South park: it has sexual themes to it and has crude behavior and humor that comes with it. Suit life on deck: A character by the name of London Tipton was telling her room mate Baily Pickett how much she must love to be a only child then Baily said "I'm not a only child i have 4 brothers and 7 sisters." London said "Wow your parents need a hobby" I mean really does no one notice this? now with that i hand this challenge to my opponent.
Oregon Protesters

The 150 armed protesters that have recently taken over the wildlife refuge in Oregon are essentially domestic terrorists and should be treated accordingly. They are attempting to use fear (terror) by occupying a government territory to bring about political change. If I occupied a business because I was upset with their policies while I held an assault rifle and said that I wont hurt anyone unless they try and tell me to leave then I would be labeled a criminal. These people are saying we will not leave this property until we get our way and if people try to stop us we will defend ourselves. That my friend is domestic terrorism by definition.
Oregon Protesters

Yeh yeh yeh....I get it mate...what im pushing you to answer is what you would consider accordingly. My stance is I would like to know why they are so pent up about this issue. The federal government kicked native Americans off their land...now should have the ones who were involved be treated accordingly...should the land be given back? Slaves built the USA for free! Now should they be reperated? Sorry pal just don't have much faith in your government or mine!

Okay the facts are actually all over the place. Its not a disputed situation. So Im not sure what your asking for. There are 150 militia members who have taken over government property in Oregon. They are mostly armed and said they will occupy that area for several years if necessary. They are responding to outrage over a land dispute between then and the federal government. These are all undisputed facts. What they are doing because of the presence of firearms is attempting to intimidate the federal government into acquiescing to their demands. This is domestic terrorism because they are using fear and potential violence, breaking the law, and creating a very unsafe situation. These people should be arrested and imprisoned for engaging in terrorist activities and treason against the Unoted States government.

What I don't get it..accordingly. Oh you mean bombed, water boarded or just plain hang em! Is there a little more to the story or just plain old what's that word...oh yeh..terrorism. Now the domestic type because that foreign stuff is just played out.... Don't you think your being a bit harsh lol or what have they got hostages or something. No seriously there must be more to the story. You views cant be based just on "boo hoo they won't get of the land". What's it to you anyway?
Goku will win a fight against Superman if not equally match him

I graciously accept the challenge. I look forward to a very interesting debate. The first round is for acceptance only. Since Pro says he's new to the site, I'll take the liberty of laying down the ground rules for this debate, which has been agreed upon by my opponent. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Rules____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ -I will be arguing that if Goku and Superman fight, Superman will most likely win i. e. no loss, no tie. -No trolling, and preferably, no plagiarism. -No new arguments or belittling the opponent's arguments in the comments section once the debate is over. -The fight is one-on-one i. e. neither Goku nor Superman receives any help from CORPOREAL beings. For example:Korin/Yajirobe for senzu beansGoku's friends who lend power for Spirit Bomb/SSJ god ritual/Broly KO punch or anything elseHelp from Green lantern to pull large objects (such as planets etc. )Drawing power/speed from the Speed Force shared by the Flash-I can use any form of Superman except Superman Prime. Also, in all presented scenarios and comparisons, Superman won't wield the Sword of Superman. -My opponent can use any form of Goku (even SSJ god if he can prove it doesn't violate above rules), except SSJ 4 as stated by Pro himself. -In all presented scenarios and comparisons, Goku is allowed to use his power pole (Nyoi-Bo). ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________These terms have been agreed upon by Pro. In any case, I would like Pro to attest to the above rules at the start of round 2.
Goku will win a fight against Superman if not equally match him

I have seen your recent debate with "legodude123" and I find him a poor representative for Goku's side. He has given a few false pieces information and I feel he is biased. I would like to challenge you to a debate of the same topic. I am quite familiar with both the Superman Comics and the Dragon Ball comics, therefore I should be a good challenger. I will try my best to be fair and I hope not to disappoint you, as you seem to be an overwhelmingly strong contender and I am quite new to this debate medium. Your previous challenger mentioned that he would be using all forms of Goku. I will be all his forms except SS4, because it is fake and part of a fan-made comic that Akira Toriyama (the creator of Dragon Ball) had no part in and mentioned himself that he despised it. To be a fair contender, I have not read any of your statements in your previous debate with "legodude123" and have simply scrolled through his statements. Please accept this challenge. All I want is a friendly debate. Please call me out on whatever false information I provide about Superman because though I am familiar with him, I am not a Superman expert. Also please tell me if I'm doing anything wrong because I am new to this site.
William Lane Craig's formulation of KCA reversed works

P1 of the KCA states "what begins to exist has a cause." Pro's "reversal" is actually an inverse restatement, which cannot be inferred from the conditional.[1] An equivalent contrapositive would be "what does not have a cause does not begin to exist." Moreover, even if we grant the validity of the premises, the conclusion "there is no cause for the case of God's existence" doesn't follow. as Leibniz observed, every existing thing has an explanation of its existence, either in the necessity of its own nature or in an external cause.[2] Because God is a necessary being, by definition his existence *must* be explained by his own nature.

You too have the burden of proof in this debate. I have given my word, and dispelled the likelihood of me lying by doing so. I can't beleive my opponent just wants to troll. I don't know if he is just trying to get an easy win but he hasn't really presented any arguements. The burden of proof is on you my good fellow. What I expect my opponents response to be: Pro is a troll. He has the burden of proof not me because I am lazy. Hurr dure. My opponent can not present new arguements in conclusion, so therefoe I win. I hope everyone has enjoyed this debate.

I'm not sure my opponent understands how the burden of proof works so I'll spell it out: you are the one who is affirming the resolution, Dik, so you have to prove what you say is true. Please prove that you are a 24-year-old white woman who is interested in dating a funny, intelligent man of similar age.If you can't prove that what you're saying is true, then you lose this debate. Waste another round like you've been doing and the win will surely go to me.

The purpose of what I did in round 3 was to rebut your only argument which says due to the fact I have lied in the past I regularly lie. Despite my given reasons my opponent simply does not want to hear it, and does not show any evidence of any other lies, justified or otherwise. The way that the resolution is proved is by my statement. This is the truth, and I am willing to swear to god or federal court or JB or whoever you want. I would know myself, my personal details, better than my opponent would I not? My opponent has also not introduced any evidence of me having personal information other than what I have stated. I am not sure if my opponent missed this or something but I will emphasize this yet again. I have justified my false personal information for DDO, and it does not mean I am a frequent lier, as con seems to assume. My opponent has no evidence of me having other personal information that does notatch my statement. Ultimately, my opponent has had no arguments I have not adressed.
Dating

Con has judges me in a way that is unjustified. I did not initially wish to release my personal information until I had explores the online community. This is in the majority of cases a fair action to take. My opponent has no real argument, apart from a fragile hope that my fellow DDO members will agree with what he finds to be "reasonable". The Merrium-Webster Defines reasonable as "not extreme or excessive". http://i.word.com... I take it that pro wants to beleive my profile information. He believes that I am a one hundred year old lesbian woman, who is muslim(shite), yet white in ethnicity. He believes I am retired despite actually not being 24 years of age. And hypothetically, of we trusted my profile, despite being retired I would still earn an extremely healthy $150000 plus. Also, on top of all this I my activities would be"drinking, driving, listening to JB, Nicki Minaj and other classics". Totally legit with no trolling there. Under websites I claim that I made google. This does certainly not match up with my other information. Did I also mention that my profile says I live in Kandi, Benin. The number of computer users in that region is very low. Especially for someone that had personal information like my profile describes. What I am trying to get at, my good people, is that the probability is so low for someone to have all this personal information are infinitesimal. And despite this my opponent seems surprised when I let him know that this information is false! That leads him to beleive that since I was lying then, I must be lying now. Is that not going to extremes? And wait! What was the definition of reasonable again? Not extreme or excessive. Therefore my opponent is not being reasonable with his judgement, meaning his entire single argument is invalid! Through the power of simple logic we have blown apart my opponents only argument. What do you think he will do now, good people? Here is a link to my profile if you want to make sure this is legit. http://www.debate.org...

I assume the entire first sentence of your instigation is the resolution, which should be easy enough to prove false or at least to cast reasonable doubt on.My opponent says this: "I am a 24 y/o white woman in the USA and I am interested in finding a male partner of a similar age who is both intelligent and funny." But much about this contradicts her profile, just look for yourself!1. It says she's 100-years-old.2. It says she's interested in women (not men).And there, the resolution has been refuted in two different ways.
Classic Debate: Naruto is A LOT better than Bleach

Well, I'm not going to bother putting up any substantial arguments. Bleach is better because:1. It has Aizen, who's bad@ss and can stop a sword (and a theme song) with his finger. 2. 'Narutards' - enough said. 3. Sasuke is a whining b!tch emo. I win by default. ^^
"Art projects" in English classrooms do not help students and weaken their writing skills.

I will admit, before any further arguments, that I am inherently biased against artistic and creative projects because of my "non-verbal learning disability" or "hyperlexia". I excel with vocabulary and written expression, but when it comes to context and social interaction, I can struggle. Others, especially those with dyslexia or related learning disabilities, would likely do better with art projects than essays. The fact remains that the amount of writing required with an artistic project is much less than that of a traditional essay. With a diorama or storyboard, there might be about one page of written material provided by the student, usually backed up by the other materials. An essay would usually be five pages. It would be beneficial to encourage more writing at a high school level because in college, students will be expected to write 10+ pages, many more for a dissertation or in a major heavily focused on writing. There is a benefit to art and other creative exercises, but there are already required classes such as "Elements of Art" that cover such areas.
"Art projects" in English classrooms do not help students and weaken their writing skills.

My opponent states that "art projects in English classrooms at the High School level do not help students learn how to write well". I disagree. While it is obviously true that, generally speaking, art projects are unlikely to focus on syntax and grammar, there is far more to expressing oneself than simply those basics. In a way, DDO's 7 point voting system is a perfect example of this; only one point in seven is devoted to dotting the Is and crossing the Ts. Of far more importance to the vote is the ability to be persuasive and, when appropriate, quote one's sources. This need to be persuasive is present in most college essays, as well. According to the Harvard College Writing Center, the core point of an academic essay is "fashioning a coherent set of ideas into an argument" [1]. If one were to compare use of the English language to playing the piano, the syntax and grammar could be seen as analogous to the actual notes on the page of sheet music. The act of fashioning that coherent set of ideas, however, is more analogous to the rhythm and pitch of the pianist pouring expression into the notes on the page. In plain terms, it's an artistic talent. One of the ways in which a smart teacher can help students express that artistry is through the use of art projects that contain similar values. A diorama of a scene from The Crucible, for example, might lead a student to put more focus and attention on the imagery used by the play. Ideally, this would show the student the value of that imagery, and encourage its replication if they were asked to describe an equivalent modern environment. My opponent makes other arguments, but they lack a certain relevance (IE their personal high school experience does nothing but show their own inherent bias to the concept of art as a learning tool, and their observation that college professors must be redundant in their initial lessons is certainly true, but they have failed to make a connection between a few art projects and that typical student failing. Summer vacation is arguably a far more culpable factor). In conclusion, art projects do help students, because they enforce good creative writing techniques. As such, they serve to strength the writers' skills. [1] . http://writingcenter.fas.harvard.edu...;
"Art projects" in English classrooms do not help students and weaken their writing skills.

Art projects in English classrooms at the high school level do not help students learn how to write well. Students can barely put together a sentence in college, and the first few weeks of many college classes are wasted re-learning basic grammar and writing techniques because frustrated professors want students to write at a college level when many of them cannot. I personally find these "Art Projects" frustrating because they hurt my grades in high school. We were graded on our ability to draw and make posters and other "creative" projects, rather than our talents and skills in crafting well-written essays. I believe that English classes should have more of a focus on writing and less of these "art projects" which should only be utilized in classes specifically meant for art.
Strict foods and nutrition guidelines be enforced in all public schools

Thanks for the debate. My opponent had one really good point. That somehow low-calorie is associated with healthy. Yet, inadequate calorie intake is detrimental to health and performance. This trend of low-calorie or calorie reduction is disturbing to me. I've studied diet a lot and I conclude that no good can come out of denying yourself needed calories. Solution: Eat a lot of healthy food. Apples are known for being healthy, so instead of eating a really low calorie meal of one apple. Eat lots of apples, at least five in a meal. Nobody gains weight on a straight apple diet. Thanks again for the debate.
