U.S vs The World

NOTE: THE LAST ROUND IS FOR CONCLUSION ONLY. I'm sorry but I forgot to add that in my first post. You raised a very good point, but it's my turn now. 9 million men is a massive amount and that's only 9 countries, but is there enough transports to get them across the ocean? No, the worlds navies would be inadequate to transport any sizable force across the Atlantic or Pacific. The U.S. navy would be able to break up any amphibious invasion. See the U.S. Navy has 19 carriers, that is 9 helicopter carriers and 10 aircraft carriers. The invaders would have to rely on civilian craft, which would be easy targets for submarines and aircraft. The rest of the world has a total of 12 carriers. During WW2 the carrier became the center for any fleet and immediately showed it's dominance. Since a sea invasion is off the table, well the only way to invade is over land, through Canada and Mexico. Let me tell you something about Texans... their crazy and an entire Army Corp is garrisoned in Texas. Invaders through Texas would meet fierce resistance no doubt. Thus in the north invaders would have Logistical trouble; their best bet would be to invade through the north-west, but it's filled with national parks. The national parks are vast exspances of land thus creating difficulty for supply lines to keep up with advancing armies. Hitler's invasion of Russia is a prime example of this. Here is the big weakness in my opponents argument... he forgot to include american patriotism, during WW2 the U.S military grew to over 12 million strong, I would not doubt that in the event of a crisis, such as one at hand, the U.S. military would be at least 4 million strong. But the big numbers come from the civilian populace, that is the 270 million guns in the United States, say 5% of civilians fought the invaders well that is 16.2 million militia men, no small force. Green Berets would be deployed to help train the civilians into something fierce as it fights to protect it's homeland. The United states spends only 3.8% of it's GDP on the military, if we spent 10% of our GDP this invasion force would be fighting a grand opponent.

U.S vs The World

Hello everyone , this is a relatively simple debate, it is the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA vs THE REST OF THE WORLD.Allow me to post some facts below. The collective active military manpower of only the ten largest armies in the world is...9,471,864The us military is...1,429,995...(TOTAL SIZE OF ONLY THE TEN LARGEST ARMIES IN THE WORLD)9,471,864 minus(THE CURRENT SIZE OF THE USA ARMY)1,429,995...............................................................=8,041,869... Of army personnel left...This means a force of 1,429,995 would have to take on a force of 8,041,869...By any resonable standards and common sense this is rediciously improbable, the most likely scenario is the largest force would easily win, given the sheer numbers.NOTE, This isn't even taking into account ALL OF THE ARMIES IN THE WORLD... Merely this is the TEN LARGEST ARMIES of which the USA is one of.http://www.curiosityaroused.com... 233,500
U.S vs The World

Note: This is my first debate so if you have any tips or want to yell at me for making a stupid mistake feel free :) RULE: NO nukes. Enemy countries are invading the U.S homeland Pro= United States Con= The World "Shall we expect some transatlantic military giant, to step over the ocean, and crush us at a blow? Never! -- All the armies of Europe, Asia and Africa combined, with all the treasure of the earth (our own excepted) in their military chest; with a Bonaparte for a commander, could not by force, take a drink from the Ohio, or make a track on the Blue Ridge, in a trial of a Thousand years..." Abe Lincoln. I believe that the entire world's army would be swallowed up by America's large landscape. That the U.S military is the largest and best in history, I also believe that any military unit would be destroyed swiftly by U.S defenders. The air force would dominate the sky's, and the navy would make invasion by sea almost impossible. The Abrams tank would dominate the battlefield also, not because of it's superiority in armor but because of it's tracking system the tank commander could immediatly send your location to all the other tanks, you now have 14 tanks looking for you and all the Apaches in the vicinity are also after you, your survivability just dropped to 0. The U.S Army's third Corps is garrisoned in Texas being able to secure at least some of the region before reinforcements arrive. I would also like to add some facts about the size of our military. ( If we were being invaded by the world I am sure that most of these numbers would double.) Budget(2014): 526.6 Billion Population: 324,123,073 Total Air-power(Fixed-wing and Rotary): 13,683 Tanks: 8,325 Oil Production: 8,500,000 gallons per day Personal: 2,266,883 Sources: http://comptroller.defense.gov... http://www.worldometers.info... http://www.globalfirepower.com... http://www.npr.org...
could the big bang have happened

Thank you for challenging me, Pro. What is the structure for this debate? No matter, I shall present my first argument and waive my last rebuttal.First of all, if you accept the idea of what you believe happened to cause the Big Bang, then, it's possible that it could happen. The Big Bang is still happening, if you even accept the theory. Many scientists argue the universe is expanding still. [1] The universe (remember, this is not what I believe, just explaining what they do) started as a very hot, very dense point in nothingness. Then, in a few milliseconds, the small cloud burst outward. It was not an actual explosion as the name implies, but many cosmologists say it was more along the lines of the appearance of the universe everywhere. Cosmologists are also arguing that current proof of the 'Big Bang', or, more appropriately, 'The Big Inflation' can be found by an echo, well, [2] echoing through space. I would argue that this is The Living Order of the universe, or as some would call God, keeping everything in the balance. In Genisis, which is probably irrelevant to you, it is stated that The Lord spoke and it was so. I don't belive this is literal, and some would disagree on me with this, but I truly believe it was celestial singing, to simplify. It was a vibration of Love and The Life. Many experiments have been done on the DNA of many creatures. The DNA of these animals have been turned into musical notes. Different notes for different types of DNA. The dolphin sounds like something swimming under water and then bursting through. The swan is a dignified waltz with elegant "curves". [3] I think this makes animals what they are. Additionally, [4] people have put sand on special trays and turned frequencies higher and lower, and different very specific designs have occurred in the sand. I believe it is the same with Earth, but in a much more complex way. Creation requires creator. Design requires designer. How could such an intricate universe just happen. Even given evolution to boot. A regular road that you drive on couldn't even have happened. Now I'm straying from the subject. Nothing can't make nothing. A Big Bang, even the materials before the Big Bang couldn't have occurred out if nothingness. Now, one could say the same of God. But God created time, therefor is outside of it. (I know many of you out there will scoff at that, but oh well, without opinions, we'd be nowhere.) Time itself is so inconsistent. It is not an absolute. (Black holes, distant galaxies, etc, etc) (P.S. Really try to use good punctuation and capitalization. It looks like you know what your doing and looks more professional.)

Red sox Vs. (your baseball team)

Atlanta has two hitters with over 20 home runs. Dan Uggla with 36 and Freddie Freeman 21. The Red Soxs get a full time DH while the Braves have to use a pitcher in that spot. If Eric Hinske got a full season of at-bats he would have had at least 20 home runs and more RBIs. Kimbrel had 46 saves by himself and Boston had 48 as a team. The Braves had 4 pitchers in their bullpen with an ERA under 3.00 and one with a 3.00 while Boston had 2. The Braves bullpen could be the best in all of baseball. Kimbrel set a Major League Rookie record with 46 saves and was named NL Rookie of the year. He also made 79 appearances. Venters made 85 appearances and O'Flaherty made 78. These three pitchers led the MLB in appearances. O'Flaherty is the first pitcher in MLB history to have an ERA under 1 (0.98) with at least 70 appearances. He had 78. With all of the starting pitchers combined in both teams, The Braves Tim Hudson had the most wins with 16. Jair Jurrgens was an all-star pitcher, Boston had none. (The NL won the All-Star game. ) The Braves have the fourth best prospect in all of Major League Baseball in Julio Teheran. They have 5 in the top 100 and the Red Sox have 4. The Braves have 3 in the top 50 and Boston has none. I believe better pitching is key in winning baseball games. Phi had the best record in all of baseball last year and the rest of the division is getting better. Both teams play in very tough divisions. The two teams did not play against each other last year but they have 3 coming up this season. Boston does have a better hitting line up but they have a DH also. Take Ortiz out of the everyday lineup and replace him with a pitcher and Boston is a different team. Or add an everyday DH to the Braves and the hitting line ups would be even. The Braves have talent hitting wise to win in the NL but their pitching makes them contenders in all of the MLB.

Whoever wins the presidential election the USA will continue to decline.

1) The Federal Reserve Act of 1913 opened the door to the organized plunder of the citizens of the USA through the control of economic booms and busts by a few "insiders". 2) The repeal of the Banking Act of 1933 (Glass-Steagall Act) opened the door to the banking system being involved in bad mortgage practices, mortgage backed securities, and credit default swaps that led to the collapse in 2008. 3) The Dodd-Frank law does practically nothing to separate the banking system from the casino of wall street, mortgage backed securities, and credit default swaps. 4) Neither President Obama nor Mr. Romney have the desire or political power to correct the stated problems of the financial system.
Whoever wins the presidential election the USA will continue to decline.

The resolution is "WHOEVER" wins the Presidential election, the USA will continue to decline. As such, third parties are allowed. I hereby declare that if Gary Johnson wins the election, the USA will NOT decline.1) Gary Johnson promised to AUDIT the Federal Reserve. http://www.garyjohnson2012.com...2) There were numerous causes of the 2008 resession and it had nothing to do with the repeal of the G-S Act.3) Johnson has a plan to balance the federal deficit, get us out of war, and to down size government. Negated.
God is not real.

God, being omniscient and omnipotent, know what will happen in the future, assuming that there is no outside (supernatural) interference; however, the only reason that he knows what will happen in any point in the future is because he knows what will happen immediately before it, and what will happen before, that, etc. until we arrive at the present. However, God could also know how any certain intervention on his part would affect antecedent events. (Because God is omniscient and omnipotent, there is no reason to believe otherwise. ) God, being omniscient, would know that doing A would result in B and that intervening by doing X would result in Y. God's "knowledge" of the future is true if certain precincts are fulfilled, and God knows exactly what those precincts are. However, from our point of view, we see the events as set in stone as they occur, and it is here where my opponent's syllogism fails to translate the relevance of God's position outside of time. My opponent confuses himself by conceding that God can exist outside of time while contradictorily applying time-based terms (future, etc) to such a God. God is often viewed in the context of immutability (. http://en.wikipedia.org...(theology)), which means that God's unchanging nature coupled with His existence outside of time means that, from God's vantage point, He doesn't see events as affecting the future, he simply sees events; past, present, and future are blended into His unchanging and eternal nature. It's quite a deep subject to think about and it is thus understandable that my opponent would become confused, but unfortunately such confusion has resulted in my opponent's case being insubstantial. God is changing our future, not his, and when this is possibility is taken into consideration, the PRO case fails. Please remember when voting that my points only need be possible to result in a Negative vote. God is defined as omnipotent and omniscient; any points that do not contradict omnipotence of omniscience can thus be an available possibility that eliminates PRO's BoP. PRO has failed to show any such contradiction.
God is not real.

My fallaciously opponent objects to my argument as a straw-man case. I am allowed to use the diety any religion, real or imaginary, to oppose PRO's case, so long as it fulfills the two standards needed to define a god. Christianity believes in a God that is omnipotent and omniscient, so the God of Christianity is a valid example to disprove my opponent's syllogism. It is not, however, necessary; any god which fulfills PRO's two criteria can be used, and that god can have any additional abilities that do not contradict the criterion. PRO confuses the possibility of change with the (human) permanence of time. Because God exists outside of time, he can observe all events as a singular entity. The problem with PRO's extension of God's helplessness against the permanence of time fails on two points. Firstly, a certain outcome for a certain event does not disprove that other outcomes were possible. Secondly, because God can exist outside of time, he is not limited by it's barriers; he wouldn't be seeing the "future" because the concepts of "past" and "future" by definition do not exist to an entity existing outside of time. From a godly perspective, God would be altering a certain event and the events affected by the primary event because he is unaffected by the barriers of time. In conclusion, PRO has failed to stipulate any necessary contradiction between an omnipotent and omnipresent being and a being that exists outside of time, and completely fumbled his attempt to envision an entity existing outside of time. He has not "blown my mind" but rather seems to have confused himself by trying to explain the problems inherent to his argument. So long as his burdens remain unfulfilled, the ballot should be passed to CON.
