The learning of the Irish language in Ireland should be non-compulsory during the senior cycle

I thank Purplehaze for his response. 1)NON-PRACTICALITY: "As you have already said, Irish is required by most colleges for all courses. And this is not what we are arguing, so would the fact that Irish is required by most colleges not be a practical reason for its compulsory learning?:)" --> Most of which receive government funding, which means they'd change their requirements. "You claim that Irish is only spoken by a minority, but from your source it is clear that a large percentage of the population have a great interest in the language: "Furthermore, a much larger number regard themselves as competent in the language to some degree: 1,656,790 (41.9% of the total population aged three years and over) regard themselves as competent Irish speakers." " --> Amount of people who can speak it doesn't equate to a great interest in the language. I would regard my self as 'competent', but competent varies from person to person. That percentage are competent due to the compulsory teaching of it up until 6th year of secondary school. "Also the rising interest in our native language can be seen here: And those statistics do not include any school in the gaeltacht areas, as they are not a part of gaelscoileanna. Irish is also now recognised as an official EU language" --> Letting it be non-compulsory doesn't mean purging every school of everything Irish. It leaves it as an option. If you have an interest in it and want to learn it, you take it. If you don't, take a different subject. The government houldn't be in a position to decide what we do and don't study based on ad populum. "Irish remains our first language, as it should for national identity, but if its compulsory learning is gotten rid of, how could we still justifiably claim that it is our first language?" --> It's not as if we're purge pour libraries of Irish works. It leaves an option to study the language for your leaving certificate. You still do it up to Junior certificate and that covers most basic conversational Irish, enough to still claim national pride. "I'd agree with you if we were on about a foreign language, but in my opinion the fact that it is our native language is a justifiable basis for its compulsory teaching." --> Great, but under that logic, learning Irish dance, Irish history,Irish music, etc. Also, this is Irish: http://en.wikipedia.org... The modern Irish is influenced by English. Education seems to be an unnecessary point in this debate.
The learning of the Irish language in Ireland should be non-compulsory during the senior cycle

And you call yourself Irish. 1) NON-PRACTICALITY: As you have already said, Irish is required by most colleges for all courses. And this is not what we are arguing, so would the fact that Irish is required by most colleges not be a practical reason for its compulsory learning?:) You claim that Irish is only spoken by a minority, but from your source it is clear that a large percentage of the population have a great interest in the language: "Furthermore, a much larger number regard themselves as competent in the language to some degree: 1,656,790 (41.9% of the total population aged three years and over) regard themselves as competent Irish speakers." Also the rising interest in our native language can be seen here: http://www.gaelscoileanna.ie... And those statistics do not include any school in the gaeltacht areas, as they are not a part of gaelscoileanna. Irish is also now recognised as an official EU language: http://ec.europa.eu... Irish remains our first language, as it should for national identity, but if its compulsory learning is gotten rid of, how could we still justifiably claim that it is our first language? "The very fact the language is only spoken by a minority in one country is not a justifiable basis for it's compulsory teaching." I'd agree with you if we were on about a foreign language, but in my opinion the fact that it is our native language is a justifiable basis for its compulsory teaching. 2) EDUCATION I don't see what how the language is taught should have to do with whether it should be taught or not. If you wanted to argue that a revamp should be done on how it is taught, you should have. And anyway what other way could it be taught? What makes knowing a poem in English necessary?
The learning of the Irish language in Ireland should be non-compulsory during the senior cycle

Full Resolution: The learning of the Irish language in the Republic of Ireland should be non-compulsory for all during the senior cycle. ===DEFINITIONS=== Senior Cycle - The common term for the 5th and 6th year of the Irish educational system, which involves studying and taking the Leaving Certificate (http://en.wikipedia.org...) Compulsory - required; mandatory; obligatory Please don't semanticise this debate ===BRIEF OVERVIEW=== Currently, the learning of the Irish language is compulsory for school receive government funding (http://en.wikipedia.org...). It also required by most colleges for all courses. ===PRO ARGUMENT=== 1) NON-PRACTICALITY: The learning of the Irish language is largely wasteful. Appropriately 40,000 to 80,000 fully native speakers living in Ireland (http://en.wikipedia.org...). Most of these live in Gaeltacts are in the Isolated West of Ireland (http://en.wikipedia.org...), which means the use of the language would be uncommon The very fact the language is only spoken by a minority in one country is not a justifiable basis for it's compulsory teaching. 2) EDUCATION In the studying of Irish for the Leaving Certificate, it is the largely learning of poetry and stories. Although learning conversational is justifiable for both patriots and for rough and tumble encounters in the west of Ireland, knowing an Irish poem is unnecessary. I await an opponent.
Naruto vs Ben 10

0. We can not apply the energies of the universe Naruto have. Even though universal in theory, it does not apply to another universe that was never mentioned this kind of spiritual energy in Ben 10. 1. Stingray can fly up high and shoot lasers in most clones, while some left over to throw the rasengan it moves at a high speed and continue shooting the other. Naruto can not fly, and even take high heels, do not come close to a being who can reach a top speed far greater than Naruto. 2. I never claimed that it does not exist. Intangibility is not to be touched. Logo stated that it is impossible to get any kind of physical attack. Being the Rasenshuriken or any other manifestation of chakra impossible against itself. For Big Chill can even freeze Naruto without being seen. 3. The supreme way this alien who Azimuth released, now has a height of 200 meters. The fox must have around 40. This means that it is extremely higher, the Bijuu Dama was little, and now he can shoot lasers gigamersos for a device that created Azimuth. That is more than enough for the fox. 4. In his argument ignores any kind of evasion that Marshfire could do. It also considers a limit. Regeneration is unlimited. He can not rebuild it from scratch, but considering the assumption that is shown in the drawing that he can rebuild your own seeds that were planted in the ground. 5. I'm ignoring the chakra in his argument, as I said, we can not consider an energy that has a universe from another because you are putting something that was never mentioned. Ie I could talk, Naruto likes Burger (where a statement is invalid, because there are no hamburgers in that universe, but could be made using bread, meat and salad. But it was never shown. A Bijuu Dama can still be redirected. 6. The Chakra Naruto is not immune. As seen in the anime Naruto tries to fight against a member of the Aburame Clan using poison, Shino asks him to get away it would be dead with the touch of the member. Naruto would be infected. 7. You do not think that NRG is best mastered by Ben. Even inside his armor. He suffers no damage inside, even if chacualhado. He would open the lid and neither Naruto nor Fox would have more chances against him. Be a problem and so no apparent solutions. 8. Again dispense his argument about the chakra, if he released one laser aging, Naruto would not defend himself. It really has little immunity to physical attacks. And in ben10wikia Chronokinesis see this is total control over time. PS. consider that the bijuu dama by its speed would effect yes, time to turn some hero Ben and unlocked, he could turn any alien without touching the device again, just think of the alien that he would turn
Naruto vs Ben 10

thanks for accepting, come, full of Ultimatrix has at least 1,000,910 aliens, 63 and 54 accessible aliens aliens named. Ben has transformed into 43 of Them. Further with the supreme. 1 - Stingray jet can achieve an amazing speed, moving at the speed of light in the maximum average. Giving Naruto a terrible disadvantage if you count that can shoot lasers that melt rocks from his tail and eyes. Naruto could not see much speed as well. 2 - Big Chill is intangible, and may even be invisible, and can freeze enemies. He could make himself invisible and Naruto would be frozen for up to any kind of attack backfire, except that it uses a device alien, hehe joke. 3 - Gigant, Azimuth could edit this alien, leaving him 2 times higher, ie, with 200 meters height, with greater physical strength and also shoots lasers devastating for your hands. Both the fox nine tails as Naruto had no chance. 4 - The marsh fire can control plants and fire. His strength is worrying for enemies, as has already been able to raise a platform giant iron (I think 5 times greater in mass than him) and has an infinite capacity for regeneration, no matter how much Naruto give your Rasengans or fox shoot him it regenerates. 5 - The DiamondHead is without doubt exceptional, it is virtually indestructible, Naruto has nothing in his arsenal that can destroy it, Naruto could use the Bijuu Dama Rasengan and Rasenshuriken and not surtiria effects, not to mention that it can also use any energy received and redirects it back. It would be scary. 6 - Stinkfly could throw acid in Naruto, using their ability to fly, could release poisonous gases, and also has laser beams and toxic saliva, since Naruto is not immune to this kind of poison, when he fought with a hand Aburame poisonous. 7 - NRG is one that Naruto will have more trouble until the fox. Can control radiation that would be fatal for the two enemies. May be intangible, has immunity to fire, can fly, immunity to radiation, speed, energy absorption, resistance to physical attacks and regeneration. He can compress the radiation in order to make a nuclear bomb and destroy everything. That would be the end of Naruto and the Fox, after that NRG would be intact. 8 - Clockwork - has cronocinese, ie, can stop time, see the future and past, accelerate and go back in time, killing Naruto Fox and effortlessly.
Naruto vs Ben 10

The rules are: Currently in Naruto Shippuden Naruto (Naruto can summon the whole fox) infinite chakra And Ben will be the series Ultimate Alien Ultimatrix with (all aliens available, minus the Alien X with Ultimatrix unlocked). Nothing can interfere with the fight. She will be in an open field with grass without obstacles (eg trees, rocks, etc.). I'll be on the side of Ben. Would anyone like to argue for Naruto in the case against me? thank you.
Naruto vs Ben 10

First off:At no time said that Naruto could not use his chakra freely around the world of Ben 10. = 0. We can not apply the energies of the universe Naruto have. Secondly, I think that my opponent's language and English usage is quite confusing and difficult to understand. However, I will try my best to get to the points. My conclusion is that Naruto and Ben can use his powers freely in the environment they are. Only we can not confuse one thing with another, or want to go in this kind of reason that if one has, the other logo should have, chakra can be used as well understood by Naruto, only assuming that Ben would not get points for that be a living creature. I have absolutely no idea what he's trying to say. 1. If he means the literal meaning of "thin air", then I would like to say that it is impossible. However, if he means that it'd easily gets away, I recommend him to go back and read my arguments. Naruto won't be shooting out "one" rasenshuriken at a time. However, he would be shooting out so many rasenshurikens that the 2 Dimensional area of the battle would covered with the rasenshurikens. It is similar to scanning a paper.2. As already mentioned, the argument s valid. Firstly, Naruto can detect evil things with bad intentions. Furthermore, the chakra that flows in the body of Naruto is physical. There are many times when Naruto used his chakra to do physical actions, for example: When Naruto was training the fox, he had to use his "chakra hand", formed with the fox's chakra, to stack up stones into a tower, practice his concentration and usage of chakras as physical objects. 3. To be honest, I don't know what the Gigant is. May I request my opponent to specify a link with information on the Gigant because I myself could not find it. Thank you.4. Plants could be easily cut with shurikens. Naruto could even use his wind chakra to form a knife and cuts it. The fire could be block with the chakra hand or easily dodged. The physical strength is useless as long as Naruto stay at a distance and attack him with Bijuu Dama or rasenshurikens. 5. Here, I also have no idea what my opponent is trying to say. 6. Use specific source to confirm the fact that it could use gaseous poisons. I have never seen it before. As stated before, liquid poison could be blocked with the chakra hand.7. NGR also doesn't know what Naruto can do. From within the armor, it is only possible to shoot the laser radiation out the front side, leaving the other three sides vulnerable. Naruto could wait until the Ultimatrix time out and squash Ben into the ground, crushing his internal organs and forcing them into red liquids. Ben could see that your situation is not so good at the time because of the fox sitting before him, causing him to take serious steps. I don't understand this.8. To get a fair decision, both things from the two universes should be applied; Ben with the Ultimatrix and the fact that Naruto mastered his chakra (exists in every living things).
There is no God

Con says that I ignore all the parts of nature that have no mathematical formula whatsoever, but showing that some things don't following a mathematical pattern doesn't show the ones which do to be pure coincidence. If you saw the words "I love you" written in the sand by the sea shore, you won't say, "well, look at all the sea shores on earth where no meaningful words appear whatsoever, so this one must be an accident caused by the waves." It still cries out for an answer, and the Fibonacci sequence is just one of the many others found in nature that cry out for an explanation of how they came to be. If I throw a rock at a wall and it gets parts of it broken off, lets say a scientists creates a mathematical formula to describe the new shape of this rock. It's shape is a pure accident in the sense that I didn't plan out how it would break. Now, you would not expect that formula to accurately describe all other rocks on the planet, would you? It wouldn't even describe a single other rock, because chances are, no other rock is shaped exactly like this one. Yet, e=mc squared describes all the matter everywhere in the universe. Why? Why does all matter follow the same equation if it only came about by accident? The only rational answer is that someone made it this way, deliberately. Con has not replied to the reason I gave for accepting each of these four facts about Jesus as being historical. They are good enough to convince most historians in the world, why does he object to them? The fine-tuning of the universe is either due to chance, necessity, or design. Con has not shown my argument that design is the only viable option to be false.
In the United States, prostitution should be legal.

I'm not a person of your country, but anyway, I start my reply. I referred to this cite. (http://www.idebate.org...) First, basically, government have no right to engage private life like intercourse. But if the benefit of public is bigger than the private right, the regulation was based on the legal step of the law, the regulation is based on serious and careful consideration, and they are not violating the essential parts of the freedom and right, government can also regulate right of people. Basically, the justice of prostitution is based on the right to decide of their own body. But, this right is also can be restricted because of violating the dignity of human. I have the intention to argue that prostitution can violate the dignity of human so regulation of prostitution should be needed even if the rule was made by the government in this debate. Second, prostitution basically violate the rule of marry. The essence of the rule of marry is the exclusive right of the intercourse with a spouse. As long as the rule of marry remain the fundamental of the society, we should keep it. In addition, the use of a woman's body solely for the purpose of sexual gratification does not treat them as a person. This lack of respect dehumanizes both prostitute and client, and this situation can violate the dignity of both sex. So, the overwhelming of freedom also can harm to the society and individual. It should be well adjusted by individuals or even by the government in the some situation. And I can tell you more side effects of prostitution. Finally, Laws regarding prostitution are also based on the serious consideration not only religion but also other aspects. I can show you this evidence by showing this site. - http://www.idebate.org... - The regulation of prostitution are not only based on the faith of religion. Violation of the right of prostitutes, the economic aspects, the side effects from the country which allow prostitute, and so many other aspects are also considered by the officials in the USA government. I'll wait your reply.
In the United States, prostitution should be legal.

In the United States Prostitution should be legal. There are three main reasons I have for making this claim: 1) Our government should not be allowed to dictate a persons motivations for engaging in intercourse. 2) People in American society should have the right to do anything they wish to do, so long as no other person is harmed. Excepting harms caused solely by the existence of the laws prohibiting prostitution, no person is being harmed by the practice of prostitution. 3) Laws regarding prostitution have no basis other than religion. Our Supreme Court has ruled, and our Constitution states, that religion and government should never mix. Therefore laws regarding prostitution, should not exist.
In the United States, prostitution should be legal.

I admit this is clearly my lose to this debate. Everyone, please vote for Xera. She have right to win in this debate. Your argument and logic is more well than mine so I cannot oppose some part of your opinions. But you have already opposed my every arguments. This mean you teach me well in this debate. Thank you for debating with me, Xera. See you next debate. I'll pay back you my debt later in the next debate!
malcolmxy is wrong on these points

Your resolution is unspecific on species. If you wanted this to only be about humans, you should have noted that. (and, the abstract I posted states that it is suggestive of this same metabolization process in ALL mammals, of which humans are one...the testing here is in its infancy because everyone thought this to be untrue, until someone realized it was true).I said all opiates metabolize to morphine. You stated that Thebaine does not do this. I showed, beyone any doubt, that it does.Ergo, by YOUR rules and YOUR resolution, I win.Thanks for the debate. As I said, it was big fun. Have your people call my people. We'll set up another one soon.

Most cited papers: Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 1988 Feb ;85 (4):1267-71 3422490 Cit:62 Transformation of thebaine to oripavine, codeine, and morphine by rat liver, kidney, and brain microsomes. H Kodaira, S Spector Roche Institute of Molecular Biology, Roche Research Center, Nutley, NJ 07110. Thebaine, an intermediate of morphine biosynthesis in the poppy plant, Papaver somniferum, was transformed to oripavine, codeine, and morphine by rat liver, kidney, and brain microsomes in the presence of an NADPH-generating system. The formation of morphine, codeine, and oripavine was identified by a specific RIA, HPLC, and GCMS. Thebaine also gave rise to four other compounds, which for the moment are unidentified. NADH dramatically increased the formation of both codeine and morphine when used together with an NADPH-generating system, especially in liver microsomes. NADPH is essential in the formation of oripavine from thebaine and morphine from codeine, while NADH is critical in the conversion of thebaine to codeine and from oripavine to morphine. Carbon monoxide or SKF 525A inhibited the conversion, indicating a role of cytochrome P-450. These results provide evidence for the enzymatic in vitro conversion by mammalian tissues of thebaine to morphine. The pathway is similar to that which exists in plants.I win. [1] (species not specified, though they're just now starting to realize, through testing, that thebaine acts the same in humans).That was fun. Let's do it again sometime.sources:[1] http://lib.bioinfo.pl...

1. ALL Opiate Agonists metabolize to morphine.False. Thebaine does not metabolize to morphine. (1)2. Noroxymorphone is basically morphine and 3. Noroxymorphone is super-morphine.Both of these statements are false. Noroxymorphone's affinity for the μ-opioid receptor is almost twice as weak as that of morphine. Noroxymorphone has a bigger problem penetrating the blood-brain-barrier than morphine. Also, the pain-killing properties of morphine are stronger than that of noroxymorphone for every route of administration except when injected into the spinal cord. (2) 4. "Pot" is a slang term for Cannabis and refers to many things, not only the plant itself, but also the THC and cannibasoids (sic) contained within said plant.False. The definition of 'pot' is Cannabis, according to Google Dictionary. Pot is not defined as THC, tetrahydrocannabinol, or any similar chemicals.5. Meth-amphetamine and D-amphetamine are ESSENTIALLY the same drug.False. Methamphetamine is a racemic mixture of two different drugs while dextroamphetamine isn't. Methamphetamine is sold legally as Desoxyn while dextroamphetamine is sold as Dexedrine. Desoxyn is FDA approved to treat exogenous obesity. Dexedrine is FDA approved to treat narcolepsy. Methamphetamine is more neurotoxic than dextroamphetamine. (3) Methamphetamine has a longer duration of effect than dextroamphetamine. (1) https://www.healthtap.com...(2) Eija A.
