Bernie Sanders Should Win The Democratic Nomination Over Clinton

Hillary Clinton deserves the Presidency over Bernie Sanders for a great number of reasons. For starters, Sanders is a self-defined Socialist. Being that liberal rarely ever got any past President the nomination, because for the most part, being Socialist is a one issue path. Sander's only argument over Hillary ever is "The Wall Street crooks are destroying this economy." Sanders is more interested in taking down the the backbone of the American economy than making a foreign policy that could save America from terrorism while stopping big business from outsourcing jobs to Mexico, Vietnam, etc. (Which is exactly what Hillary plans on doing.) Sanders also supports removing the federal prohibition on marijuana, while Clinton wants it less restrictive to better the research on its use. This will only benefit Americans because marijuana is a gateway drug which will only make it easier for teenagers to get their hands on it which is dangerous. The growing mind doesn't need a drug clouding judgement and leading towards poor choices. Both candidates aggressively support LGBTQ marriage equality, but Sanders is not as rigorously fighting for gender equality as Clinton is. The only upper hand that Sanders had over Clinton is trustworthiness. The e-mail scandal is very popular, but lacking greatly in substance. The most common argument is "she lied" about them, which simply is not true. She only told what she could about the situation because she didn't want a foreign hacker to get into the less secure (although still government issued, and therefore secure) account. She was simply looking out for the best for Americans and still does today. She also has great experience with being Secretary of the State department. She personally visited 112 countries and made deals to make America (pardon me for saying this...) great. However heated the argument between the two Democratic candidates, anyone can agree that either would be better than any of the Republicans running.
We should euthanize all piranhas and vultures.

Pro said that "Scientists should create a deadly chemical to release in the air that only kill vultures." and for piranhas "we should send bombs to only kill them." Not only is that an irrational action, it makes no sense. It would be very hard, if not impossible "to create a deadly chemical that only kills vultures," and it would most likely effect humans to. And you can't send bombs to kill ONLY piranhas, because there is a great possibility you will kill other species, nd wl nt end ur prblm:)
We should euthanize all piranhas and vultures.

People are not allowed to interfere with nature. That is a common Daoist belief but people in any religion would know that exterminating a whole race just for the sake of "them attacking us." My opponent stated that piranhas are useless, but they are part of the food chain and every section of it contributes to the rest of the world. Also, piranhas eat all sorts of things that would be a much dangerous threat than piranhas themselves. I hope my opponent will respond and i will extend arguments.
We should euthanize all piranhas and vultures.

Piranhas and Vultures are very dangerous animals and has been human kinds natural enemy since the beginning of Earth. All though many animals of many different kinds attack us humans all the time, Piranhas and vultures seem to dangerous and useless to be able to live. Scientists should create a deadly chemical to release in the air that only kill vultures. This could take years but the results when it works would be terriffic. As with the piranha problem, we should send bombs to only kill them.
It is possible for humanity to achieve a utopian society.

I thank JBlake for accepting this challenge, and look forward to our debate. First I would like to state that achieving a Utopian society is possible, yet highly unlikely. This is due to the proverbial "strings attached" to the word utopia. A utopia can be achieved in theory if we specify our "requirements" to two different groups. (1) The people - Of course to obtain a Utopian society, means you must have the perfect citizens to be integrated. Since I broaden the term of people to humanity I am presenting myself with a challenge. It is possible for a small group of people to live together in perfect harmony, but can it be the same when we ask for all the small groups of the world to come together? Again, in theory it is possible. People though are not that simple, we all have different needs and wants. A Utopian society can be achieved, as defined, through work and effort. In theory if all people were to find lovers, entertainment, and of course social interaction we will be pacified. These are the basic human longings that we all strive for. Now being responsible for all the different ethnic, religious, and political groups can be similarly broken down to accept a Utopian society. And acceptance is the first step toward achievement, thus setting the groundwork down to pave the road to perfection. (2) The government - Now perhaps the easiest part of achieving a Utopian society is to get the world to agree on a common government. This is easy because there is one government in specific that adheres to a perfect society, and that is the only government that could possibly be used to rule one - Socialism. Socialism is defined as a theory or system of social organization that advocates the vesting of the ownership and control of the means of production and distribution, of capital, land, etc., in the community as a whole. This being accepted the government of a Utopian society would be socialist, distributing land evenly, along with food, clothes, and other natural resources. Now when we merge these two things together, the people and the government, we create a society that can indeed be perfect. It is matter of trying to achieve perfection that will allow us to be able to reach a utopia. A Utopian society may not be achieved in my lifetime, but I believe the world is taking positive steps along the road of perfection. A Utopian society has been broached before, and with enough persistence I believe that as a people, humanity can one day be able to create an ideal society. Thank you for reading.
It is possible for humanity to achieve a utopian society.

Ok well I have wanted to debate this topic for a bit so i figured I'd just put it out there. And I would like to thank anyone who wishes to a part of this debate, by commenting, voting, etc. If you wish to participate in this debate you must believe a utopian society is not possible to acheive. This is NOT a L-D style debate. The first round will just be a prelim. round. After someone accepts I ask them to just post definitions in there first round and let us proceed to the debate. Thank you. Humanity- the entire span of humans in the world. Utopian- a moral and righteous society; a perfect society. Achieve- being able to obtain through work and/or effort
Orange juice is healthy and more people should consume it.

The Idea that orange juice is healthy is heavily dependent on factors that limit the truth to be only somewhat true. If a specific set of variables does not exist then the statement that "Orange juice is healthy" is no longer true, and if anything without certain factors like exercise and limitations orange juice becomes unhealthy and even harmful. For example, it has been proven that the excess consumption of orange juice can result in the significant erosion of teeth. According to Dr. Yan-Fang Ren, of the Eastman Institute for Oral Health, the acid in orange juice "is so strong that the tooth is literally washed away." The acid found in orange juice is similar to the acid found in soda and other acidic fruits, this acid weakens the enamel and eventually, the teeth begin to erode.

Orange juice is healthy and more people should consume it.

It is understanding that exercise can be time consuming, especially when one has so much to do, like me. There are other ways to combat this issue, like: multi-tasking (doing whatever it is you need to do in an exercising way), walking to work if the location is not far, working out at work when there is downtime and you are in a safe environment, parking far away from where one needs to go, or even taking stairs instead of elevators (1). Orange juice may cause inconsistent energy levels if draken everyday, but if consumed every other day or once every three days, it has various benefits. Some of these benefits include: the prevention of kidney stones, reduce levels of "bad" cholesterol, reduces cellular oxidation, offers lots of vitamin C, helps the digestive system regulate, and helps with diarrhea and constipation (2). Orange juice tends to have many more benefits than disadvantages when one looks at the juice as a thing to help prevent medical issues from occurring. Defined Terms Cellular Oxidation- the process of oxidation in the human body damages cell membranes and other structures including cellular proteins, lipids and DNA. When oxygen is metabolised, it creates 'free radicals' which steal electrons from other molecules, causing damage. Constipation- a condition in which there is difficulty in emptying the bowels, usually associated with hardened feces. Sources (1) http://www.cheatsheet.com... (2) https://steptohealth.com...
Orange juice is healthy and more people should consume it.

First of all, in order for a person to lose weight and drink juice as a part of their daily diet, the person must also exercise routinely, for many this is inconvenient and excessively time consuming. To depend on orange juice as the number one source of energy throughout out the day is irrational and unhealthy. According to an article published on June 29, 2017, "One major side effect of drinking too much orange juice throughout the day is inconsistent energy levels." The inconsistency in energy is due to the fact that drinking orange juice increases a person's blood sugar. After drinking a glass of orange juice a person's blood sugar level increases dramatically and the energy level is high. However, shortly after the sugar level begins to drop and the energy of that person greatly decreases. Sources -medlicker.con -modernhealthmonk.com
Orange juice is healthy and more people should consume it.

Carbohydrates may affect one's weight, but it is dependent on how one's body is used (what they do physically). If they exercise, then any carbohydrate is very beneficial for one as they fuel muscles and help them grow and become more muscular (1). Some more reasons are: they better athletic performance, fasten one's recovery, reduce cancer and cardiovascular disease, improve mood and sleep, and help with fat loss (if exercise is present) (2). There is also a study done at Purdue University by DiMeglio (doctor of pharmacy/podiatry) and Mattes (registered dietitian) of June 24, 2000 that tells, "[The] study indicates that liquid carbohydrate promotes positive energy balance, whereas a comparable solid carbohydrate elicits precise dietary compensation. Increased consumption of energy-yielding fluids may promote positive energy balance" (3). Even though fructose can be used as an alternative sugar, it helps consumers with food and how it is. It adds texture, helps keep color, maintains quality and enhances flavor in many foods and beverages. Those are real value-adds. At the same time, HFCS helps food and beverage (4). As I have stated before, one's intake of these products most likely will not harm them as long as they are active physically and care for themselves. Sources (1) http://running.competitor.com...

Orange juice is healthy and more people should consume it.

Most People believe that because Oranges are natural and healthy, then orange juice is also natural and healthy, however, this is not true.(1) Orange Juice is a liquid Carbohydrate, carbohydrates are significant in weight alterations. Often times the answer to weight loss is a reduction in Carbohydrates, especially in liquid Carbohydrates as they have a much more measurable effect on fat gain as compared to solid carbohydrates. (2)Orange juice is also high in fructose, which serves as an alternative for sugar. A study conducted by the Institute of Food Research and highlighted by TIME magazine showed that the consumption of Fructose resulted in liver damage as well as the formation of Fat deposits.(3) The consumption of Orange Juice is also responsible for the decay of tooth enamel as Orange juice has a low pH. DEFINED TERMS -Carbohydrate-any of a large group of organic compounds occurring in foods and living tissues and including sugars, starch, and cellulose -Fructose-a hexose sugar found especially in honey and fruit. -Enamel- one of the four major tissues that make up the tooth in humans References 1.livestrong,com 2.modernhealthmonk.com 3.colgateenamelhealth.com
Orange juice is healthy and more people should consume it.

Many people do not realize how healthy orange juice is. It offers consumers a great source of Vitamin C (1), lowers cholesterol (1), helps prevent cancer and boosts the immune system (2), and most importantly, orange juice can give one radiant skin (3), which we all want. What is there not to love about orange juice? The pulp is also an add-on to those who like to have a little chew while drinking it. The pulp can also help with things, like: being a good source of minerals and vitamins, be anti-cancer potential, and offer pectin (4). Defined Terms Pectin- The thick, fibrous attribute of pulp is derived from high concentrations of a dietary fiber called pectin. Pectin helps lower cholesterol, ease digestion and improve the removal of fat and harmful chemicals from the body. Sources (1) http://unclematts.com... (2) https://www.organicfacts.net...

We Should Have A "Slaveocracy"

For this debate "slaveocracy" is defined as such: A government where the people in the society are either masters or slaves, but where the government is run entirely by a representative body elected by the slaves, masters are not given votes. They are prevented from abolishing their slavery with a Constitution that spells out the rights and duties of the masters and slaves. This is a good form of government because it involves the best checks and balances. It prevents the highest class of people in the society from holding undue sway over the government, while at the same time holding back the non-ruling economic class which is given political power by making all of them including the president slaves that have duties to work for and obey their masters. It's perfect balance and harmony in a slaveocracy.
We Should Have A "Slaveocracy"

1. The Constitution will list the name of everybody in the world and say if each person is slave or not? What would the criteria be for being a slave and for being a master?The Constitution cannot be changed? Since the so-called "slaves" have the political control, can't they elect people who would make amendments to the Constitution? Who is to say they can't (since they have the political control)? Moreover, who will write the Constitution in the first place?2. Why would you expect the slaves to not use their political authority to abandon their roles as slaves? Also, they could elect officials who are most lenient to the slaves, to the point at which they are no longer even slaves... and no one in the society would be doing work. What would be the incentive for slaves to even vote other than freedom? And if the slaves are forced to vote by the masters, clearly the opponent's "checks and balances" system isn't very balanced.
We Should Have A "Slaveocracy"

First off (for clarification): How would it be decided who is a slave and who is a master? 1. The Constitution would spell out who is a slave and who is a master. It would also spell out that slavery can not be abolished, and who is a slave and who is a master can not be changed. 2. They are completely subservient to a dominating influence in that they have to perform work for free and can't leave. That's good enough to make them slaves, even if they hold political authority.
We Should Have A "Slaveocracy"

First off (for clarification): How would it be decided who is a slave and who is a master?If the "slaves" are in charge of voting for government officials, wouldn't they seek abolition through this power? Moreover, by definition, a "slave" is "one that is completely subservient to a dominating influence." [1] By giving these so-called "slaves" so much political power, they no longer become enslaved, per se, since they are not completely subservient. The outline of this society that has been provided by the opponent is vague, but from what I can gather from it, it is very flawed. The "slave" and "master" positions are clearly unstable, since the slaves have so much political power. In a society like this, a role reversal is bound to happen.

The Wii is the superior video game console.

We are debating Wii vs. PS3 (Slim, 120GB). For reference: . http://en.wikipedia.org... Much comparison data found here: . http://en.wikipedia.org...(seventh_generation) #Comparison Contention 1: Price The Wii currently costs $199.99, and comes with a Wiimote, a Nunchuck, Wii Sports, Wii Sports Resort, and a Wii MotionPlus. Meanwhile, the PS3 costs $299.99, and comes with only a single DualShock controller[1]. Which console is superior for your wallet? The Wii, by a long shot. Contention 2: Failure The Wii only fails 2.7% of the time. Meanwhile, the PS3 fails 10.0% of the time. This makes the Wii more advantageous. Contention 3: Controller The Wiimote is a rather impressive and versatile controller. With its pointer functions, options on the TV screen can be selected through a simple point and click, instead of tedious, relatively slow selection through a control stick. The Wiimote is also capable of being used as a sword, tennis racket, boxing glove, etc. The Wii also has a host of other controllers, such as the Wii Balance Board and the Wii Zapper, and it is still compatible with GameCube controllers, as well as the GameBoy Advance and the Nintendo DS. Contention 4: Games First, let's just look at the sales [3]. The PS3's top-selling game was Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, selling about 5 million copies. Meanwhile, the Wii's top-selling game was Wii Sports, with about 60 million copies sold. If you want to ignore it because it was packaged, we go to Wii Play, with about 30 million copies. If we ignore the fact that it came with a controller, we go to Wii Fit, with about 25 million copies. That came with the Wii Balance Board, so next we have Mario Kart Wii, at 20 million copies. However, this came with the Wii Wheel, so we come to Wii Sports Resort's 15 million sales. However, that was packaged with the Wii MotionPlus, so we finally arrive at New Super Mario Bros. Wii, which still sold about 15 million sales. The Wii's sixth-most popular game sold three times as many copies as the PS3's top game. The Wii just outclasses the PS3 completely in sales. Really, though, to sum it up: . http://www.2pstart.com... With that, I'll leave my opponent to respond to my contentions. Good luck. 1. . http://www.thinkdigit.com... 2. . http://www.squaretrade.com... 3. . http://en.wikipedia.org...
The Wii is the superior video game console.

I agree to all of my opponent's definitions. To avoid any further confusion, I suggest that we leave personal opinions out of this. Please do not post things like, "Oh, yeah!? Well, -insert game here- is the greatest game ever, so there!" Another thing, let's try to avoid semantics, and have a good, clean debate! Now, without further ado, let the debate begin! First off, I choose the ps3. Next, the variant would be the slim variety.
The Wii is the superior video game console.

The Wii - http://en.wikipedia.org... Superior - better - More attractive, favorable, commendable, advantageous, effective, etc. as a video game console Video game console - http://en.wikipedia.org... Round Rules: 1. In the first round, my opponent will choose one (1) other video game console. Ex. Xbox 360. *Note that my opponent may not choose a handheld game console. 2. In the first round, my opponent will choose one (1) variant of that video game console. Ex. Xbox 360 Pro 3. In Rounds 2-4, we will debate over which console is better: the Wii, or whatever console variant my opponent chose. More Rules: 4. Price is a valid contention for this debate. 5. I reserve the right to argue in the Comment section if my opponent either lies about what I say like what happened here (http://www.debate.org...) or starts new arguments in the 4th Round. So, select a console, select a variant, and let's debate!
Abortion should be abolished.

It seems to me my dear that you are very naive as ignorance blinds you within your own arrogance. For we exists where we live with a roof over our heads as your PC would not run without electricity and would also be stolen or rained upon. Lets just move to exists in a nation where life is a 3rd world existence is cheap does your abortion rule still apply here? You have no idea about much at all it seems your world must end at your own front and backyard. You make me sick in the head to consider that people like you stand on the streets with your idioms written on placards pushing with out any sympathy, empathy or any humility from within. Because it is the likes of you that stigmatize women not to feel like woman to begin with. You are a cruel, cold, callus, judgmental, heartless, inhumane individual that would be a total screw up with the honor of giving your own children sound advice. You may even consider me to condone murderers but you have no right to condemn women that have chosen for what ever reason to abort an unwanted child. It seems to me that only an atheist would or could even consider any reason for an abortion should be abolished and in your books all refers to the unwanted child. Never ever could it be an down syndromes autistic child that lays in a cot screaming for it's #ss to be changed or food or attention or in total frustration within a realization of the predicament that it exists in and I suppose you don't believe in youthinasia as well. Even though it happens in hospitals everyday with morphine so that numb nuts like you think that they die from natural causes. In the end in hospitals death bed you get a button that gives you more and more morphine for the pain and the pain is that unbearable that you just keep on pushing that morphine button and die from an overdose. But hey push that on your placard on the street and don't forget that it all falls back on you. Judge and you will be judged.
