God is Sadistic

Never was it stated that God gets pleasure in seeing suffering. Its probably hard to understand and believe this knowing that youre an atheist and its okay. I would just like to say that this is the belief of religous people, more specifically, Roman Catholics. We believe that our life is a test. A test to see our potential and what we are capable of doing with the life we are given. We already knew from the start that we are it is temporary and we are going to die. Life is just a phase that God observes wether we are worthy of going to heaven or not. I respect that you are an atheist and I know its kind of hard to believe since it is based on our faith and religion but its a subjective matter and people have different stands depending on who you ask.
God is Sadistic

Modern day science suggests that around 5 billion years from now our sun will go supernova annihilating all life in the solar system. In Psalm 115 it says, "The heaven, even the heavens, are the Lord"s, but the earth hath he given to the children of men," suggesting that humans are not able to leave Earth. So, God made humans... but humans as a species are going to die out? If this is the case the Bible would be stating that God made humans just to have them die eventually. The definition of sadistic is as follows : deriving pleasure from inflicting pain, suffering, or humiliation on others. If God does not take pleasure in this then why has he/she done it to other creatures like the Dinosaurs? btw : this is coming from an atheist point of view.
Android is a better platform than IOS

I concede and give the win to Pro. I understand I did not put up much of an argument, but my research actually is what brought me to concede, not so much Pro's points. Pro's arguments, however, were perfect rebuttals to my main argument and I can not think of any way to refute them further. It's not easy admitting to be wrong, but continuing would just create a fool out of myself. In actuality, Apple products have decreased in recent times, and Android has stepped up its game with the OnePlus 2. This factor also brought me to my concession.

Google and Android take feedback from people also. There is always a feedback button in their apps, and they definitely use the feedback from people to improve upon their products. Android is always coming out with innovative technology centered around us. The apps that are installed on android phones that can't be uninstalled can be helpful at some times, and if they take up too much space the user can simply purchase a Microsd card that they would purchase anyway. Apple does come with apps pre installed on the phone, though. Androids are compatible with a MYRIAD of devices! Is is not opposite day. The app store is quite restrictive. There are a ton of apps that are not on apple that are on android, or even windows! My unlocking, I meant buying a phone and putting a whichever sim- card you would like into the android, and choosing whichever carrier you would like. I don't even think you can open the back of an IPhone. Lastly, having different phones does not make everything confusing at all. Android having a wide variety of phone ensures the need of every person is met. Everyone enjoys having a choice in which phone they decide to purchase, choosing which features they want and do not want, and buying a phone in their price range. Bring it. ^_^
Android is a better platform than IOS

I have used both platforms and I definitely prefer Android. Why? The first reason I have is that Androids are not restrictive at all, whereas apple is very restrictive. Apple is restrictive in their app store, and In the fact that you are strongly encouraged to buy music, whereas in android you could simply download a music app. Also, you can unlock androids way easier than Iphones. Lastly, there is certainly a wider array of phones to fit any type of person on android's side. Apple only has a few different variations of phones, and they just recently changed the shape of their phones to a practical size.
Tigers are Superior to Lions

Im so sorry, but when I came on to debate today to post my debate, as I finished it today at school, I found that the entire thing had been deleted. I don't know if one of my friends had pranked me, or if the website glitched, all I know is that I stayed up until twelve last night writing it. I was really looking foward to a great debate, and apologize if you were also. I will see if I can recollect it some how and post it to my next round, but if not I am really out of it. I do not wish to rewrite the entire thing, because I am tired, and believe me, this is not an excuse for not doing it at all. I am really sorry.
Tigers are Superior to Lions

I accept the challenge and look forward to a great debate! I am assuming that the author means superior by it's definition and not by winning a fight. (Did not specify) Definition of SUPERIOR [1] 1: situated higher up : upper 2: of higher rank, quality, or importance 3: courageously or serenely indifferent (as to something painful or disheartening) 4a : greater in quantity or numbers 4b : excellent of its kind : better Sources: [1] http://www.merriam-webster.com...
Tigers are Superior to Lions

I believe that Tigers tiger (N.) a large, carnivorous, tawny-colored and black-striped feline, Panthera tigris, of Asia, ranging in several races from India and the Malay Peninsula to Siberia: the entire species is endangered, with some races thought to be extinct. are superior to Lionslion (N.) a large, usually tawny-yellow cat, Panthera leo, native to Africa and southern Asia, having a tufted tail and, in the male, a large mane. Rules:Con must be defended the lion, and not another animal.Round 1: AcceptanceRound 2: DebateRound 3: RebuttalsRound 4: ConclusionYou will only have two days to post your debate, so if you do not check your debates frequently, you may accidentally forfeitIf either Pro/Con forfeits once, points to Pro/ConIf either Pro/Con forfeits twice, Match to Pro/Con(Sorry for being such a tight a$$) I await an opponent, and wish good luck
There should have a limit of one black family in every neighborhood.

Are you actually retarded. I think limiting black would promote more racism. If there was only one black family they would be the bottom tier of a community. Racism towards blacks would be worse than ever because people would be discriminating against the one black community. And what do you expect, millions of black people leaving the United States just because a law was passed that is very racist. I don't know what you are thinking man but you're nuts.
The best way to increase wages is to decrease unemployment.

Well, I will begin with the most basic of economic arguments: the supply and demand argument. If a business wants additional workers, the best way for them to do so is to raise their wage rates. This increases the supply of that good(in this case, labor). The trick is, we have to make businesses want more people working for them. In order to do that, we need to decrease the unemployment rate (however the gov't chooses to do that is not relevant for this debate). When we have 8% unemployment, the potential workers are scrambling to find jobs, and thus, are willing to work for less. However, if the supply curve for labor is shifted to the left (i.e. less supply of workers), the equilibrium price becomes higher because the unemployment rate is lower. The second argument that I would like to raise is not really an argument. It is a fact. It is a widely accepted economic trend, and this trend is defined as the Wage Phillips Curve. The curve shows a short term relationship between wage inflation and the unemployment rate. It says that as the unemployment rate increases, wage inflation decreases. Again, because the supply curve is shifted to the right, not the left. However, as the unemployment rate decreases, the wage inflation rate increases because companies are scrambling to find labor as opposed to labor scrambling to find jobs. Well, these are my two arguments. Look forward to my opponent's response.
Same sex marriage

Thankyou Con for your excellent arguments. Equality I apologize for not making myself clear on the equality argument. I did mean as you correctly assumed that all men are born equal in the eyes of the law and to quote the article that you posted in response"" Maybe this vision is held because people believe that equality in fact is necessary for equality before the law. But the only requirement for equality before the law is that one is a human being."". Homosexuals are indeed human beings and should be viewed as equal to heterosexuals in the eyes of the law. I cannot phrase such a law at this moment that would allow homosexual marriage while excluding polygamous and incestuous marriages but I can provide a set of guidelines that if followed may obtain such a law. The law would allow homosexual marriage by stating that marriage is the act of entering into a marital contract with one other person. This would exclude polygamous marriage as well. The law would have to include the obligations of such a contract as being to the maximum ones capabilities. This would exclude polygamous marriages on the grounds that while a husband may support all of his wives equally who is he to decide how much should be given to each wife it would require him to decide the value of a human being which is immoral. To exclude incestuous marriage the law would have to include the merging of two families which is the usual case in marriage and in some cases the major incentive of marriage( refer to the past but still in some cases to the present ). If the marriage does not create a merging of the respective families of the two individuals as a means of providing greater support for a child of the couple if they chose to have one. In an incestuous marriage no merging of families will be present resulting in no increased support for the couple or support for the future child if there is one. The larger support group for the couple could provide assistance that the government may be required to provide otherwise. In my earlier argument regarding incestuous marriage not being permitted based on the fact that one family member may have had a hand in raising the child. This would create an unbalance in the power held by both parties. Child care The evidence you provided showing that children of same couples are worse off than those of traditional families does not specially show the effects on a child raised by the state (one who is not adopted). Which was my point that, that a child is better off with a homosexual couple rather than no parents at all. It will not destroy the institution of marriage All your points refer to the subject of laws against discrimination which are not the subject of this debate
Same sex marriage

Hi Hermitboy I would like to redo our debate with a longer voting period using the same arguments. This is purely so I can see who won. I have no problem with the result of our debate I would just like to win lose or tie based on the votes of the members of this forum rather than the lack of votes.If you do accept the debate it will just be a copy and paste of previous debate but have a longer voting period so we can see the true results. Thank you I would like to thank anyone who is reading this and whomever accepts this challenge.Reasons for debateI understand this a heavily debated topic but I have wanted to try my hand at it in a formal manner. So I hope you will forgive for repeating a very common debate but my reasoning I hope is justifiable I have taken an interest in this topic as of late and noticed flaws in the logic of both sides of the argument and would like to correct some of them through this debate ( while admitting that many of will find flaws with my logic. I am not perfect.)StructureThe first round will be for accepting the debate and agreeing on definitions of terms that may come up during the debate. The second round will be for opening arguments and then the debate will follow in the usual manner.Definitions These are the definitions I feel should be used for the following words that could be used during the debate Con should feel free to disagree with these definitions so long as he/she provides some form of argument as to why they believe a different definition should be used. Marriage- a legally,religiously,orsociallysanctionedunionofpersonswhocommittoone another,forminga familialandeconomic bond (http://dictionary.reference.com......)when discussed in this debate the word will be applied to civil marriage rather than religious marriage.Same sex marriage- civil marriage for people of the same genderHomosexual- a person who is attracted sexually to a member of the same gender this attraction not of their own choice but the result of many factors out of their controlthank you again for reading this and I hope we can have a great debate.
Individuals have a moral obligation to assist those in need

I apologize for my behavior. I got really busy and yeah, it just didn't happen. I guess I'll just say this publicly, Zaradi can reset this and just copy and paste and probably win, or we can just say I lost for forfeiting, and it would kind of be unfair for me to start debating now :P I'm deeply sorry about this all, and yeah, it is a little awkward. Um... yeah XD

Should genetic engineering be used

In my first argument I exausted most of my knowledge of genetic engineering so I will just say that I would much rather live in a world that people with genetic diseases were helped to have a better quality of life instead of being changed so parts of them would never exist but be replaced with someone elses dna which would make them a mix of two or three different people. Also I would prefer to live in a world where food was destributed equally instead of being concentrated in the west.
Should genetic engineering be used

Genetic engineering is wrong because Ithink means artificialy changing geans in organisms. Most Christians, like me belive that we were put on earth to maintain the planet. I do not think that gm is playing god although that could be an argument against it. However I do belive in evolution and I think that that it's wrong to change something 3.8 billion years old just for more burgers. Also gm plants can reproduce with other species of plants so over a period of a few years an entire ecosystem can beconomic generally modified and the same can happen with animals. For example, round up ready crops, which were genetically modified to survive the herbicide round up, spread their genetically modified gears to the other plants that round up was suppose to kill. This caused the weeds to become ammune to round up so more and more round up was needed. This caused all other creatures in the soil to die which rendered the soil us less for growing crops in. I know that it is awful for children and their respective if they have a serious genetic problem but I still don't like the idea of gm people But there are other ways of helping these people in their lives. If you cure a genetic disorder by genetic engineering then why not improve the human race with genetic engineering? If scientists wanted to genetically engenear people they would produce superior humons. If this were to ever happen it would be terrible for society but I is possible even with today's technology. Most gm crops on average really produce the same as non gm crops and tests have been done to show that in rats gm can produce can see in the rat. Gm crops are most commonly used in the USA this is because large companies lobby the government to endorse gm. They do this to improvepublic opinion. The large gm companies make billions of dollars. To see for yourself look up net profit of Monsanto
Should genetic engineering be used

Genetic engineering should be used because it prevent disabilities. Approximately four million children are born each year with a serious genetic disorder. That is six percent of children born each year. This could all be prevented though through gene engineering, no parents would have to suffer with having to constantly support their child throughout life or know that the chances of their child living a normal life are extremely rare. It is unethical to let a family struggle with a child knowing that their is a way to make sure that the child is able to live a healthy and normal life. Although messing with a someone's genes can be seen as playing god, it is popular for people to selective breed animals such as cows and pigs to be able to get more meat out of them. Know that every time you order a burger from any fast food chain that was cow who's genes were engineered to perfection, so that they could produce more burgers and less cows would have to die. Know that children will die because their genes are messed up. Know that there's way for every child to have the possibility to live a healthy and normal life. Know that genetic engineering saves life. Genetic engineering is not unethical, it's a way of allowing families to not worry about their children and live easier lives.
