Puerto Rico, State of Jefferson, North Colorado and DC should be made states

Just to clarify, pro has most of the BoP, and must show that every single one of those proposed states should become part of the US. As con, I only have to prove that one of the proposed states should not be added to the union, and thus negating the resolution. Here are some definitions, since I don't think that many people know what the State of Jefferson is. Puerto Rico: a self-governing commonwealth associated with the United States occupying the island of Puerto Rico State of Jefferson: a proposed U. S. state that would span the contiguous, mostly rural area of southern Oregon and northern California Northern Colorado: a name for a region in the state of Colorado, and a proposed state in the northeastern portion of Colorado DC: Washington, D. C. ; the capital of the United States. State: a nation or territory considered as an organized political community under one government; an organized political community or area forming part of a federal republic.
Jeff Gordon will win a fith championship

Dale Jr. has been with Hendrick Motor Sports for about three years now, and Jeff won his last championship in 2001, 7 years prior to Dale Jr. joining the team, so Jeff's run of bad luck and lack of wins cannot be associated with the move. The over whelming talent within NASCAR and the rule changes that have occurred in the sport, and the failure of Jeff to perform well when he needs to are just a few reasons why I feel Jeff will not win his fifth championship. Arguing he has been unlucky, I feel is an argument set on shaky grounds. I have produced rational reasoning as to why Jeff will not win, and not just stated that his competitors have been "lucky".
Jeff Gordon will win a fith championship

Jeff Gordon will win a fith championship because he continues to be competitive. There are drivers such as Mark Martin who continues to be competitive in the sport. Jeff Gordons lack of success it due to all of his good engineers being given to Dale Jr. in order to help him win. Jeffs bad finish was due to his right front tire being cut. Jeff Gordon will win a fith championship because his lack of success is not of the change in sport but bad luck.
Jeff Gordon will win a fith championship

As stated by my opponent, "He makes the chase every year and has only missed it once in his whole sprint cup career." This fact may seem very impressive but the modern day chase began in 2004, so that would only be 7 years, making the fact not as impressive as missing it only once in his career, when Jeff Gordon has been racing for more than 20 years. Prior to it becoming the Nextel Cup Series,(now known as the Sprint Cup Series) it was known as the Winston Cup Series, and under this model, there was no such thing as the "Race to the Chase", which is NASCAR's version of the playoffs. "You never hear Kasey Kahne or Carl Edwards in the headlines of NASCAR their talent is not amazing as my opponent states." My opponents statement hear is also a little off, considering that these two drivers are part of a promotion NASCAR has called the "Gillette Young Guns", which are commercial's by Gillette which promote these drivers and obviously Gillette products. Carl Edwards is known around the NASCAR community for doing back flips after he wins a race. These two, among many other younger drivers including Kyle Bush, Joey Logano, and Denny Hamlin all have proven that NASCAR's talent pool is constantly improving. "Jeff's problems don't like with his age and changing of the sport, but rather the people he is working with." NASCAR teams are constantly changing. This is a sport very much unlike any other because Crew Chiefs, and pit Crews are constantly changing, and although the team is a factor in the race, the driver is the one out there making the moves to win. The crew gets them to that position, but the driver is the one who finishes it. Also, the changing of the sport is a big psychological factor within the races. Drafting has changed, bump drafting, and over all conduct on the track has changed. Due to increasing safety precautions, NASCAR drivers are losing the ability to bump-draft, which when done correctly can give a driver the necessary push to pass an opponent. NASCAR has recently been trying to control this because when done incorrectly, the driver being bumped can be spun out, and often wind up in a wall. Drafting has also changed, due to the changing of the tracks. Daytona recently got a new makeover, in which drivers, for the first time on this track, were able to run three wide. There was also interesting drafting techniques being used on this track in which drivers were often paired, rather than running in larger group, as per the norm with drafting. This may not seem like drastic changes, but Jeff has often been heard voicing his displeasure with the changing of rules, and drafting measures, which he used to employee when he won those countless times. This is why I feel the changing of the rules of the sport will not allow Jeff to win a fifth championship.
Jeff Gordon will win a fith championship

"Jeff Gordon will not win a fifth championship. Under the new, and constantly changing points system, drivers need to be consistent, and finish well throughout the season, and this is just to make it into the chase. " Jeff Gordon is one of the best drivers of the sport with over 600 start and 83 wins to his name. He makes the chase every year and has only missed it once in his whole sprint cup career. My opponent states that Jeff Gordon never wins, although he did just break a 66 win less streak at phoenix(the longest of his career). Jeff Gordon has remained consistent just look at last years stats its all there at NASCAR. com. " Also, because of the amazing young talent that has been coming to NASCAR, from Kasey Kahne, to Carl Edwards, even Trevor Bayne who won this years Daytona 500, NASCAR's younger drivers are proving to be forces to reckoned with and making names for themselves. " You never hear Kasey Kahne or Carl Edwards in the headlines of NASCAR their talent is not amazing as my opponent states. Trevor Bayne's mentor is none other than Jeff Gordon. Trevor has stated that Jeff is an idol to him during the pre-race at Daytona, and that he was honored to draft with him at practice. Jeff may be getting older but he is still very talented and very capable of winning a fifth championship. "I feel since the competition level has increased dramatically, and cars and rules have also changed, Jeff Gordon will not win a fifth championship. " My opponent states that since technology and rules of the sport are changing, Jeff Gordon will not be a factor for the championship. In 2002 Jeff Gordon was paired with Steve Leotard, this was his biggest problem. Steve gets Jeff in the right position to win but ends up making the wrong calls on pit road. Jeff Gordon won last Sunday the second race of the season. In 2009 it wasn't until the first race atTexas April before Jeff got his first win under Steve. Jeff's problems don't like with his age and changing of the sport, but rather the people he is working with. I feel that with the team shift at Hendrick motorsports Jeff will see his fifth championship. . http://en.wikipedia.org...
Jeff Gordon will win a fith championship

Thank you and also good luck to you. Jeff Gordon will not win a fifth championship. Under the new, and constantly changing points system, drivers need to be consistent, and finish well throughout the season, and this is just to make it into the chase. Jeff Gordon did win this past weekend, but that was his first win in 66 races, which although there are many races each season, 66 is a long time.Wins mean a lot in this sport and if you can't win a race or two in a season, especially when in the chase, your odds of winning a championship are very slim, presumably, unless the other drivers do poorly. Also, because of the amazing young talent that has been coming to NASCAR, from Kasey Kahne, to Carl Edwards, even Trevor Bayne who won this years Daytona 500, NASCAR's younger drivers are proving to be forces to reckoned with and making names for themselves. Jeff Gordon is also 40 years old. Today's NASCAR is definitely becoming a younger mans game. His age, and his dealing with the evolution of NASCAR from when he started to where it is now have to be affecting his performance, especially when recently he stated "Cars have changed, tires have changed, competition has changed," Gordon said. "So when you go through a streak without winning, you think, OK, is it me or what is it?" I feel since the competition level has increased dramatically, and cars and rules have also changed, Jeff Gordon will not win a fifth championship. http://www.google.com...
Youth Sports is an excellent building block for children today.

First, thank you for taking this debate. I know it is a little one sided but I am sure you understand my reasoning. I am a youth soccer coach and have personally seen the benefits of sports especially for the smaller children that have confidence issues. I have seen a child that was scared of the ball the first day become one of the best players on the team in two seasons. In round one my opponent said that sports ostracizes, and in an older age group I agree, but younger children are typically more accepting of others. I should have given a definition of youth sports in my opening debate. Youth sports are sports played prior to the beginning of organized school sports. "A large number of people don't enjoy or feel confident engaging in sports." I will start with confidence engaging in sports. This is where positive reinforcement from parents and coaches comes in. Children gain confidence when praised by those they look up to. At a young age, through sports, you can mold a child into being a confident individual even if they don't continue to play sports in later years. If a child does not enjoy sports or more specifically the sport that they are currently playing, it could be that they are just playing the wrong sport. If a child isn't as good on a team there are also sports in which an individual score goes to a team effort, such as gymnastics, track and field, tennis, golf, etc. As I said in round one, one of the great positive things that comes from sports is the ability to set and attain goals. These goal can be team goals or individual goals, either way it is a confidence builder for a child to see his or her own progress. Because I did not state a definition in the first round I am not going to argue my opponents third statement, only because I have never seen a 10 year old in goth. I will semi agree that sports do tend to support those with strong personalities and physical ability, however not every child on every team is an extraordinary athlete. There will always be weaker, slower children. The whole idea behind youth sports is not to mold our children into the next Barry Sanders or LaBron James, it is to teach them to become strong, self confident adults. A small, weak child may never develop into a world class athlete, but with good encouragement that child will learn confidence and have a higher self-esteem. They may even gain that sense of leadership that they will be able to apply to there everyday adult life. I may be biased because I am a youth sports coach, but when you see the benefits you can see how great these programs are.
Youth Sports is an excellent building block for children today.

Firstly, to be honest, I agree that sports are important. But to play devils advocate... Sports ostracizes... A large number of people who don't enjoy or don't feel confident engaging in sports. People who don't fit the natural stereotype of people who are sporty (you don't see many goth quarterbacks). It tends to encourage and support those with a strong personality and/or natural physical ability, which inherently discourages those that don't, and they are the ones that usually need it the most. It depends on the school, teacher and fellow students to a large extent, so I had to generalize.
Youth Sports is an excellent building block for children today.

I have to start by saying that the reason I picked this subject is because I have met several parents who think that youth sports are corrupt and politcal. For this reason they do not allow their children to participate in youth sports. My goal is to show the positive sides of youth sports that applies to any child. Youth sports today provides many positive things for children: Team work Leadership Physical Fitness The ability to set and accomplish goals The ability to work in a team is a quality needed in almost every adult job in the world. Leadership not just meaning being able to lead people but also being able to follow. Where following is not always looked upon as leadership, if a weaker person sees someone following a specific person then it is easier for that person to follow as well. Thus by follow a good leader they in turn learn to be a leader. If for nothing else sports are good for physical fitness. In this time where the obicity rate in children is sky high, sports is just the thing to keep children in shape. And then the ability to set and accomplish goals. Many people in this day and age set goals that they are not able to accomplish. Why is this? Because many people where never taught how to set reasonable goals. Sports is one way to teach children how to set attainable goals and then work to reach them. Another great thing that comes from sports is that it gives a parent a chance to give their child positive reinfocement. This is not to say that no negative effects will come from sports, but the negative effects can easily be avoided by making sure that coaches are positive role models and have the childrens best interest in mind.
abortion for raped teenagers

You do raise some valid points pertaining to the psychological effects that a pregnancy could have on the girl. However, it is worth noting that the girl could continue to go to school while pregnant. Could there be a social stigma around being pregnant? Perhaps, but most people would be very understanding. However, there is no reason that being pregnant should distract the girl from learning, which is the main purpose of school. A few years ago, I had a teacher who was pregnant throughout the school year, but she was at school every day until the very day she went into labor. There is no reason that a student could not continue to learn while pregnant. Your other point is that she and others will not think of the rape as much if she were to get an abortion and not be pregnant. She would not have to tell others the circumstances of her pregnancy if she did not want to. There are many methods that she could use to help cope with whatever emotional stress she may have as a result of a pregnancy. In short, the situation is terrible. However, you did not reject my point that abortion is murder; you merely are arguing that it should be legal in the case of rape. Therefore, let me present you with an example: Sue is raped and decides that she does not want to have reminders of the rape, so she kills her rapist's son, an innocent bystander. Since abortion is murder, getting an abortion as a response to rape is the same as that scenario.
abortion for raped teenagers

Abortion can be a terrible thing but in this certain situation where the teen is at high school and needs to get all her studies done to go to college. Nine months is practically a full school year. A full school year is tough without a pregnancy but with it the teen may have symptoms of depression. They may also have to cope with people at school talking about her. With abortion, the people from school don't see the pregnant body which is evidence of the rape. They won't think about the rape as much. They will see her as a normal person. The family will have to provide her with extra support. The student will have to walk around with all the extra weight that she didn't even want in the first place. She didn't mean to get pregnant so why should she be forced to carry around the rapist's baby
abortion for raped teenagers

I think that raped teenagers need to focus on school and don't have time for a baby. Having a baby is a serious commitment that takes 9 months. The teenagers should focus on school, so they can go to a good college if they want to. They didn't mean for this to happen. The teen is unprepared and has never had a baby before. The teen's stress levels will go through the roof, which may cause depression. Then they will have to put up the child up for adoption, knowing that he may grow up without having any idea of who his father is,.
Border Wall

I'm for a wall. Trump has said it doesn't have to be sea from shining sea and I'd agree with that. I'd say welfare money is a good reason to not want immigration as with the current rate of automation more people will be relying on that safety net to carry them through to more skilled based jobs. As in any population a percentage of illegal immigrants are breaking the law (besides the laws they're breaking by being here. ) I would make that distinction clear because to label 10. 7million illegal immigrants murderers isn't going to fly in any bipartisan conversation. That is not to undermine the problems being faced with illegal immigrants breaking the law. I only want to emphasize that the law hasn't been enforced and to start enforcing the law on 10. 7 million people at once is unreasonable. As far as dreamers are concerned. I believe that the 1. 8 million people he's offered pathways to citizenship could be misleading. I've heard the number of 3 million people possibly being given amnesty. Whether or not that includes 1. 8 million dreamers in the DACA program is unclear. But on the most positive end of the spectrum 4. 8 million out of 10. 7 million people is still a huge amount of people being unaccounted for. Deporting potentially 6 million people just isn't something I think would be profitable. The Ethical dilemma with deporting such a large number of people at once should be quite obvious. Trump has stated that he isn't in a rush to act on, The estimation at the time, 11 million people. It still leaves a question as to what is going to happen to about 6 million people living in the U. S. These are questions I'd want answered if I was responsible for an immigration bill. Last but not least is how new vistors in the U. S would be kept from overstaying their visa's. Are we going to have a cut off date? When will that date be and will these people be granted amnesty or pathways to citizenship? Are we going to end up in the same hole we're in now because we stopped only one part of the illegal immigration problem? I think the wall should go through but I want answers about the greater problem as a whole. Something that no politician seems capable of answering. Now just because trump said he has no plans to act on deportations immediately doesn't mean that he won't eventually. If we do end up with a mass deportation plan do you think their native countries, Mainly Mexico, Will be willing to accept them? What happens if they don't want these people either? This is a discourse that trump needs to have with L"pez Obrador before even proposing it. Having 6 million people with no place to be would be highly suspicious.
Border Wall

I am pro-wall all the way. I think it is a great tactic and decision for the beneficence of the United States' safety. Illegal immigrants are coming into our border, Murdering people, And getting away with it. We also have some fault to because the welfare money goes right to the beginner immigrants. They steal and take our jobs and money illegally, And we let them get away with it. There has been more murders by illegal immigrants in the United States than all of our history. It needs to stop. On another note, As you said with the government shutdown and the dreamer association; I think the shutdown was necessary to show that Trump meant business and he was serious about the decision. Sure there were many people getting no pay, But its a small price to pay for redemption of the United States. With the Dreamers, I highly disagree about. I believe they deserve to have a chance at the *American Dream* legally, And shouldn't be denied freedom. But other than that, I agree with Trump's decision on the Border Wall. I would like to see how you respond to this.
Border Wall

I don't see any problems with compromise outlined in the state of the union address. I'm against the government shutdown. I don't believe U. S workers should be penalized because of Immigration politics. I'd also like to point out that you've challenged me to a debate on which you have made no points. I only know that you support the wall in some fashion. It's hard to have nuance in a situation where there's no source material or points being made. So what exactly about the wall are you in favor of and how do you think it will affect legal immigration and paths to citizenship for dreamers?
The actions taken by the husband in the bride kidnapping vided evidence that a Rape or nontraditiona

Trying to show examples of situations that cannot even come close to comparison with bride kidnapping is funny. You can't compare apples to grapes and expect for it to taste the same way. Pulling a trigger because someone said is just the act of a fool. It seems that your comparison is painting a image to describe these women as fools. They are not fools nor are they incompetent. They know right from wrong. There is no way to know how long these women cry for. I'm not a fly on the fall but these women stay with their husbands they don't run away the next day they don't poison their husbands nor did it say that these women are slaves to their husband. On the day after the wedding and that day only is when she is hospitable to her guest at her home (31:36). Would you have a set of people walking around your home to put things out of order no, so why must she. She is not a sex slave where did it mention bondage or the husband verberly abusing her? She wanted to get married she felt that 18 was a acceptable age to do that (31:00). Your subjective claims your personal feelings are being clouded by what is actually there. Everything that ensure a successful Kyrgyzstan wedding is there on the video. Even her grandmother who grew up with the culture had a children brought up in it and now her grand daughter is in it knows that it's life. She wants her granddaughter to have happiness and live the life she has become a part of(32:08). Any couple that get married are entitled to get a divorce if these women are so sad and depressed in their marriages why not seek a divorce 3 months after, why stay and open your legs and produce children for this man that has hurt their feelings. Why raise your male and female children on this culture, why prepare them to be the kidnapper and kidnappee? These young women choose their part, if they don't want to get married tell the Iman that they didn't come to that decision freely. Do they do that. Your claim is that the women are liars that they take all the nonsense from the husband because????? You don't even have a legit answer that could be backed up. The only reason that the mother of the woman who committed suicide is upset is because her daughter it dead. She took her own life. She could have been depressed before. There is no way to tell if a man will turn out to be the one who likes to take advantage of women and treat them like punching bags. In all cultures there are crazy folks. She just happened to get one unfortunately. Well I KNOW THAT the video shows what it shows. If you are to block out the reporter/photographer voice you would see that these women expect it and to some extent are excited about it. I KNOW THAT it takes two to make a marriage work and both parties are doing their part. I KNOW THAT as a female if from birth I was thought that all cats are evil I will grow into adulthood thing the same thing. This was not a case of capital Rape. It was a case of different culture different expectancies different lifes. Tradition cannot be replaced.
