Resolved: The Middle East should not be allowed access to the internet

1) Flow of information (?)"The Internet allows information to spread like wildfire"Just like how it allows hatred to spread through embassy fires...." If the Middle East is banned from the Internet, then where will the citizens get their information?"They have Al-Jazeera and they seem to know how it works. "This opens the door to mass brainwashing. You would be punishing thousands of people for the actions of few."Yes, we would be punishing thousands for the actions of a few, and its because those thousands of people simply stood by and let all of this crap happen rather then step up and get everyone to calm the f*ck down. Wanna know the last time a large group of people just sat on the sidelines and didnt intervene to quell a movement built on violence and hate? Hitler came into power, thats what happened. Only 10% of Germans were Nazi's and the other 90% just let Hitler destroy Europe. http://www.historyplace.com...If we dont ban the internet in the Middle East, Muslim Hitler will rise up and trigger WW4 (WW3 would have occurred before then)2) It would not solve the problem"If you ban the Internet in the Middle East, what do you accomplish?"Embassies dont get raided, Americans dont get killed, and Arabs do something productive rather then just burn a bunch of sh*t that isnt theirs, for starters. "What happens at this point is that the bias against people attacking Islam is amplified"No its reduced, because the craziest people live on the internet, not on TV or on the radio. It would reduce the amount of stuff Muslims find offensive and start burning American embassies over as well. "Islamic leaders would build hate by preaching to the choir."They do that anyways!"With the Internet, the average person can actually make their own decisions using logic."Ok timeout, what part of the internet holds logic and reason!?!?!??! The internet is 49% porn, 49% Google that helps people get to more porn, and 2% everything else that can easily be seen as offensive, there is nowhere on the internet that can help people make rational decisions using logic. Saying that the internet helps make people smarter is like saying that television helps people not get distracted while trying to listen to the sh*t their girlfriends are talking to them about that isnt important. I think Muslims smell funny^ Thats going to result in the deaths of 14 people in about 2 weeks.
Resolved: The Middle East should not be allowed access to the internet

My position is that the Middle East should not be kept off the Internet. P1: Restricting the flow of information to everyone The Internet allows information to spread like wildfire. Knowledge is important for civilization to succeed. The more you restrict access to knowledge, the more you hurt the common everyday family. If the Middle East is banned from the Internet, then where will the citizens get their information? From the Government? This opens the door to mass brainwashing. You would be punishing thousands of people for the actions of few. P2: It would not solve the problem If you ban the Internet in the Middle East, what do you accomplish? You cut off one unbiased medium (or at least a medium with enough different viewpoints to balance out) in favour for Television and Radio. What happens at this point is that the bias against people attacking Islam is amplified. This is because there is no way for reason to be casted across the Internet. Islamic leaders would build hate by preaching to the choir. With the Internet, the average person can actually make their own decisions using logic.
Resolved: The Middle East should not be allowed access to the internet

This debate is that the Middle East should not be allowed to have access to the internet because every time the people in the Middle East find something offensive on the internet, they lose their mother f*cking minds and start blowing sh*t up. In the past week alone dozens of Americans have been killed and at least a half dozen embassies across the Middle East have been attacked. And what caused all of this outrage? A MOVIE ON THE INTERNET THAT THEY FIND OFFENSIVE. How the bloody f*ck can we expect a group of people like them (some of which are armed with nukes) to be able to use the internet and not fly off the handle every time they find something offensive? People in the civilized part of the world (civilized = predominantly white) know how to keep their sh*t together when they see something offensive. When the movie "Avatar the Last Airbender" came out did you see Americans start attacking Indian Embassies, Or Pakistani ones, or whichever is the one that M Night Shyalaman came from? NO, because the civilized world has their sh*t together unlike the Middle East. "Ok, so they react bad to anything they see as offensive, but we shouldnt ban them from having it!" - Opponent YES WE SHOULD, F*CK YOU. Think of any whiny baby youve ever met on the internet, do you think they should be allowed to be on the internet in the first place? NO. Some people naturally cannot respond well to something offensive, and when its one or two people, then its fine, they get mad and then b*tch about it for a few days then move on. But we are talking about THOUSANDS of people all across the Middle East completely losing their f*cking minds over this, which is something that White people can take with a grain of salt and still run the world perfectly fine. So why we should not let the Middle East have access to the internet? Because 1) They cant handle anything offensive, 2) They are naturally an easily p*ssed off people, 3) They already kill innocent people whenever enough of them get annoyed, 4) They are armed with nukes, 5) Have you seen the f*cking internet lately? Its PACKED with material offensive to people in the Middle East, and 6) Its all just a time bomb waiting to go off that will result in the death of more innocent Americans, which is why we need to strike first to neutralize the threat, just like we did in Iraq (that worked out well right?)
Sith Philosophy Applied to the Real World

Yes, the extended universe is still valid for information. The conclusory statement should be a concession or rebuttal to the point that the prompt is a better model for living than it's counterpart in the universe or modern systems. As I stated before, I believe that the Sith philosophy, if modified to a certain extent, can create a prosperous civilisation as well as launch the hypothetical nation further in the subjects of military might, educational and scientific prowess, and general productivity and commerce. Obviously, the sith of the fiction cannot truly exist as the Force is not a real thing, however the philosophy and tenants of the order are valid in principle. For instance, the sith code would be an excellent model for raising youths in our hypothetical nation. The concept of always acting with passion, always being deliberate and thorough, and striving for constant success and achievement is very important to raising responsible, wise, and ambitious members of society. In systems of business and government, it would be important to constantly promote and elect the strongest, smartest, and most capable while also cutting out the weak, ignorant, and foolish in order for prosperity to occur and be maintained. This alongside the constant drive by the younger generations to make themselves greater than their predecessors, In science, the contributors will be constantly driven to achieve, not only for themselves but for their countrymen. The more advancements a scientist would make would earn him more prestige among society as well as bring new knowledge to the people. While ambitious people already exist in schools, politics, and science, it is not something we as a people stress or encourage among all of us to be as great as we can be, we must stress and enforce physical, mental, and social prowess in order to survive as a nation and as an individual, as well as prosper and advance beyond any who would challenge or defy us. http://starwars.wikia.com...... http://starwars.wikia.com...... http://starwars.wikia.com...... http://starwars.wikia.com......
Sith Philosophy Applied to the Real World

This will be a very interesting debate, as I am big fan of the Star Wars universe. Just some clarification for the purposes of the debate. I know that very recently Disney declared that many of the Extended Universe novels and such to be non-Cannon. Are we still allowed to use the characters and situations contained within that Extended Universe, or are we relying solely on that which happens in the Six Movies. Simply: I would like more clarification on what sources we can draw upon. I would also hope that Wookiepedia can be considered an appropriate source for this debate simply so that the both of us are not forced to reference the books and movies in detail. Thank you! Additionally, can you spell out a resolution so that there is a distinct Resolved statement or position that you are taking so that the audience can more easily distill what is going on in the debate and what would warrant a negative ballot or an affirmative ballot. I look forward to it. Thanks for setting this up! It should be a lot of fun.
Sith Philosophy Applied to the Real World

In this debate, I am referring to the Philosophy as well as the code of the Sith organistions seen in the fictional Star Wars universe, (extended and canon), and its application to the real world. I believe that the Sith philosophy, if modified to a certain extent, can create a prosperous civilisation as well as launch the hypothetical nation further in the subjects of military might, educational and scientific prowess, and general productivity and commerce. I would like my opponent to be fairly educated on the Star Wars universe as well as an educated and critical thinker.

Resolved: Islam is a very butthurt religion

This is a troll/semi-serious debate if the title didnt immediately give that away. Butthurt is described as 'An inappropriately strong negative emotional response from a perceived personal insult. Characterized by strong feelings of shame. Frequently associated with a cessation of communication and overt hostility towards the "aggressor. " ' . http://www.urbandictionary.com... By saying that Islam is a very butthurt religion, I am by extension saying that worshippers of Islam are a very butthurt people, and I will be arguing in favor of this. Con will argue against. If any Muslims take offense to this, please do not storm the place I work at and shoot 12 people.
Resolved: Islam is a very butthurt religion

"Comparing followers of Islam to masochists is very insulting to the high integrity of the average masochist." Well comparing followers of Islam to butthurt people only makes butthurt people more butthurt. "Con concedes that Muhammad is gay as f*ck" It isn't a concession, it's common knowledge. His name is literally in the shape of a giant c*ck. How gay is that? http://www.debate.org... Swag Well if you get swag from doing things that make you different, but flying planes into buildings, graduating elementary school, and getting looked down upon for being a woman are the norms, this wouldn't be swaggy at all. In conclusion: Islamic people aren't butthurt. Allah is glorified whenever life sucks. They enjoy whatever suffering comes to them.

"Allah is glorified whenever life sucks. So if life is scorching hot and sucks all the time they're basically excited masochists."Comparing followers of Islam to masochists is very insulting to the high integrity of the average masochist. "He definitely got his butt hurt but only because of his homosexual tendencies."Alright, Con concedes that the Islamic prophet Muhammad is gay as f*ck. "In Islam culture, rape, violence, and pedophilia is as swaggy as can be. "Its not swaggy, its legal... You dont get swag for doing stuff that is legal, you have to do something that makes you different, which in Islam means you get swag flying planes into towers, or graduating high school, or not being a woman.... IN CONCLUSION: While Islam is indeed a very pedophilia-endorsing, backwards religion for rat-faced towel-jockey's..... It is also a very butthurt religion as well. Thank you for reading.
Resolved: Islam is a very butthurt religion

Rebuttals: Normal people get butthurt when it's scorching hot outside but followers of Islam usually think the exact opposite of what normal people think. Allah is glorified whenever life sucks. So if life is scorching hot and sucks all the time they're basically excited masochists.FacebookYeah he was butthurt. No denying that one. "Therefore, even if Muhammad was a pimp (which I accept), he is also a liar, and should be stoned for lying."Of course he was lying. Only a narcissistic dirty desert breeder would say that sh*t. Narcissists tend to never get butthurt over anything. He definitely got his butt hurt but only because of his homosexual tendencies.72 virginsWell according to the Quran they're supposed to be pretty hot."...perpetual virgins will all 'have appetizing vaginas', and that the "penis of the Elected never softens. The erection is eternal"."This concept is grounded in Qur'anic text which describe a sensual Paradise where believing men are rewarded by being wed[1] to virgins with "full grown", "swelling" or "pears-shaped" breasts."As for the "ready" part.. Well, has that ever mattered?Muhammad's swagIn Islam culture, rape, violence, and pedophilia is as swaggy as can be. It's no wonder that Muhammad was the biggest and swaggiest pimpin child molester goat herder of them all. He's the shining star, the gold standard for all of Islam.In conclusion, Islam isn't butthurt, they enjoy every minute of their suffering. http://wikiislam.net...
Resolved: Islam is a very butthurt religion

"Muhammad had 11 wives and regularly poked them all in one night."Guys cant even masturbate 3 times without thoroughly exhausting themselves, you mean to tell me that Muhammad managed to have sex with 11 women all in one NIGHT? He had to have gone to sleep around midnight which leaves about 3-4 hours of sex, which if you do the math makes it almost impossible for him to have pulled off what he allegedly pulled off. Therefore, even if Muhammad was a pimp (which I accept), he is also a liar, and should be stoned for lying. People who overhype their sexual exploits also tend to have homosexual tendencies, so maybe this guy was gay as hell. "He was such a womanizer that he convinced a frickin 9 year old to hop on his dick when he was 50 years old"No one is disputing that the prophet of Islam is a perveted child f*cker, that's simply fact"According to his religion of swagg, once you die honorably you'll have 72 hot n ready virgins in heaven"Thats bs on two levels:1) 'Hot n ready' isnt specified, just that there are 72 of them2) There might not even be 72 of them.... The average teenage girl in America loses her virginity at around 5 years old (source: science) you seriously mean to tell me that there are 72 of them who somehow held onto theirs until they died? They were probably ugly as hell which is why they didnt get laid, therefore Islam is a religion for ugly unf*ckable women. "I can't think of anybody with more swagger than this Muhammad dude."He's clearly a lying nobody who is secretly gay and gets hyped up by his followers, like Jesus, except Muhammad is even more of a rip-off. Nobody who is a child-pedophile can be considered to have 'swag', let alone have more than anybody else..... The giant turd i flushed down the toilet three days ago had more swag than Mohammad, and more integrity too, even though they both likely had the same skin color. "(1) 4 out of 5 Middle-Eastern women are sexually abused between the ages of 3 and 6 by family members."Creepy Uncles arent just an American thing...."(2) More than half of all Yemeni girls are married before reaching the age of puberty."Theyre just being good followers of Islam by letting themselves be walked on by older perverts similar to their prophet, nothing wrong about that! "(3) With more than 3,900 children within 6 months, Indonesia tops the UN bodies list for child trafficking cases"Well if you offer $2 handjobs of course youre going to become a hot commodity. "(4) 2,000 child sex abuse claims in 1 year at Pakistani Islamic schools, but not even 1 successful prosecution"Thats why India invaded them 3 times and should have won.
Resolved: Islam is a very butthurt religion

Muhammad was a swaggy womanizer pimp. Muhammad had 11 wives and regularly poked them all in one night. Not only that but he ravaged them with the strength of 30 men! [1]. He was such a womanizer that he convinced a frickin 9 year old to hop on his dick when he was 50 years old. He started HIS OWN RELIGION of womanizing. His religion states that women ought to be slapped, lashed, and ravaged if they uncover their sheets when they aren't told. Women that are raped need at least 4 rapists to admit that they raped her otherwise she's wrong [4]. Muhammad is officially the biggest pimp daddy to ever walk the earth. But wait, there's more. He says that when you have sex with captives, make sure you don't pull out [2]. This dude has some serious balls for that kind of policy. According to his religion of swagg, once you die honorably you'll have 72 hot n ready virgins in heaven. Not only this but you'll have an everlasting boner with the power of 300 men to plunge them for all eternity [3]. So basically this pimp started his own religion over having sex with women and treating them as objects. I can't think of anybody with more swagger than this Muhammad dude. There's also something about needing to suckle women's titties otherwise they can't get married. Check out the pimp nation [5] (1) 4 out of 5 Middle-Eastern women are sexually abused between the ages of 3 and 6 by family members. (2) More than half of all Yemeni girls are married before reaching the age of puberty. (3) With more than 3,900 children within 6 months, Indonesia tops the UN bodies list for child trafficking cases (4) 2,000 child sex abuse claims in 1 year at Pakistani Islamic schools, but not even 1 successful prosecution We can all agree that Muhammad and his religion aren't butthurt, they're just all a bunch of swaggy pimps. http://wikiislam.net...

"Muhammad didn't have relations with a 10 year old because he was butthurt. He did it because he was a pimp."I have a feeling this is going to end up becoming a contest to see who can offend Muslims the most XDEvidence for why Islam is a butthurt religion:1) It is prevalent in very hot countrieshttp://2.bp.blogspot.com...Islam is extremely prevalent in nations that are almost notoriously hot all year round...... Algeria, Libya, Egypt, Saudi Arabia...... Literally any country that could be mistaken for a giant litter box for a giant cat to take a giant sh** in is very Islamic.... What does heat have to do with being butthurt?..... Have you ever seen somebody complain about how hot it is outside?..... Its like the thing that people have complained about the longest since the beginning of time itself. Moving on2) Facebook"A few years ago, an extremist in Pakistan fought to have me sentenced to death because Facebook refused to ban content about Mohammed that offended him." - Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of facebook, January 9th, on facebook: https://www.facebook.com...Waging death threats on someone on facebook over something they posted on facebook is class 4 butthurt, which is almost the worst case of butthurt on a scale of 1-5. If you post something that is offensive to Christians or Dallas Cowboys fans, at the most you get a few swear words, an 'I'll pray for you', or a picture of Jerry Jones wiping his a** with a $100 bill depending on which of those two factions that are being offended. Muslims on the other hand will almost start flying planes into buildings if you piss them off :P 3) I had a third argument, but I forgot what it was, and im way too lazy to wait until I remember what it was so I'll just hit submit and let con present his arguments for why he can piss off muslims better than-, i mean present arguments for why Muhammad was a pimp.

Shalom Dana, I'm sorry - I don't mean to be rude here - but what do you mean by being "visually disabled?" If you're suggesting I didn't write my last post, that's wrong, I did - I always write original, I'm a blogger, remember? - but I'm human, perhaps I slipped a little or something - but for the most part, its all my own words. If you want me to repost - more like summarize it - that's possible too. I'm also opened to other options, like if you're suggesting a video call or something of that nature to explain my argument. Just let me know either way. Thanks, Justin P.S., regardless, please read it as you've yet to provide any evidence to the contrary.
