Cultural differences being as they are, I yet marvel at the imagery of such bushy pubes on a youngster who "..in wantonness do shake the curl fromst (her) moon-like face that curls around those pouting full red pulpy lips.." and profess to suspicion that the author in fact soliloquies about the face of his object of admiration; tho I do feel some magnetism to the first line: "oh beloved in thy black hyacinth curl all infidels to Muslim proselytes wouldst be.." as in wanton lust to be within the confines of the hyacinth curl of her dress. Maybe my appreciation of the metaphor is lacking with so wide a divide between cultures, but please continue with another example.

con says "Please continue with another example." take the mention of the hyacinth curl "oh beloved in thy black hyacinth curl all infidels to Muslim proselytes wouldst be oh beloved in thy black hyacinth curl ensnared art I in the spider web of thy panther black curl as thee in wantonness do shake the curl fromst thy moon-like face that curls around those pouting full red pulpy lips" 3 levels of meaning 1) the girls curl 2) the sufi curl http://www.spiritualfoundation.net... "CURLS and TRESSES mean plurality veiling the face of Unity from its lovers" if you have followed the poem 3)at the hidden level the curl is the girl pubic hair around her moon-like face ie her cunt-as hinted at by the metaphor pouting full red pulpy lips

I see thru research that the point being raised can be significant in Sufi poetics as descriptive of perfection as in the phrase "Your Eminence" or "Your Highness". Even given cultural differences I fail to see how encircling an eminence can be a better metaphor than encircling a dimple for the example provided. But I grant there are cultural differences and perhaps the 'Dimple' is too explicit an imagery to be used by the Sufi in their setting. Please continue with another example.

con asks "Please illuminate me on the "brilliant metaphorical imagery" that can be perceived in that quote" in sufi poetry the mole is a metaphor for http://www.spiritualfoundation.net... "The MOLE on the cheek is the point of indivisible Unity" as well as http://www.agharang.org... "Night, Tresses, Mole, Kohl: Transcendent aspect of God." if you have read the poem and got the hidden meaning you will see also the mole is a metaphor for the hole of the cunt thus the line "I trace out with tongues tip the circumference of that single pointed mole black"" is a metaphor for cunnilingus

The Pope is Catholic

I would like to point out two things:1) my opponent's entire argument is presented in the last round.2) My opponent's entire argument rests upon a definition which he just gave.My opponent cannot justify changing the definitions of words this late into the debate. Since 1) my opponent has provided no reason why my definition is faulty until the final round (I will get to why my opponent objection is irrelevant) we must hold my definition over my opponents.Defense of my definition. No where in the terms of the debate did my opponent specify the pope must be alive. They provide no time frame. Therefore, we are arguing over whether in general the pope is catholic. My opponent is attempting to change the rules of the debate this round in order to suit their own needs. This is abusive and must be held as such. Furthermore, every denomination of Christianity teaches some doctrine of Heaven and Hell. Basic logic dictates that within Christianity, in general, whether the Coptic Church, the Roman Catholic Church, etc. that a person will stay Christian in their death, we can make an a priori assumption that the Coptic Pope was Christian and we can assume that the Coptic Pope is in heaven. Therefore, it is irrelevant whether the Coptic Pope is dead or alive since he was and still is Christian.Now, we know that the Coptic Pope is not Catholic, as the Coptic pope is Coptic which an entirely different branch of Christianity.
The Pope is Catholic

SourceI didn't think a source would be needed. Here it is, anyways: http://www.thefreedictionary.com...Refutation of Opposing DefinitionMy opponents definition of Pope is incoherent. The Coptic Orthodox Church presently does not have a pope. Since the death of Pope Shenouda III of Alexandria, the Coptic Church has not yet elected a Pope. It is currently being ran by a caretaker. Therefore, since there is presently no Pope of the Coptic Church, his definition cannot stand. The 'Pope' cannot be a Catholic if there is no Pope around to be one.Source: http://www.albawaba.com...The Pope (my definition) is Catholic'From the beginning, Christianity has understood itself as the religion of the Logos, as the religion according to reason...It has always defined men, all men without distinction, as creatures and images of God, proclaiming for them...the same dignity. In this connection, the Enlightenment is of Christian origin and it is no accident that it was born precisely and exclusively in the realm of the Christian faith....It was and is the merit of the Enlightenment to have again proposed these original values of Christianity and of having given back to reason its own voice... Today, this should be precisely [Christianity's] philosophical strength, in so far as the problem is whether the world comes from the irrational, and reason is not other than a 'sub-product,' on occasion even harmful of its development—or whether the world comes from reason, and is, as a consequence, its criterion and goal...In the so necessary dialogue between secularists and Catholics, we Christians must be very careful to remain faithful to this fundamental line: to live a faith that comes from the Logos, from creative reason, and that, because of this, is also open to all that is truly rational'Source: http://www.zenit.org...He has also wrote:'"Having a clear faith, based on the Creed of the Church, is often labeled today as a fundamentalism. Whereas, relativism, which is letting oneself be tossed and ‘swept along by every wind of teaching', looks like the only attitude (acceptable) to today's standards. We are moving towards a dictatorship of relativism which does not recognize anything as for certain and which has as its highest goal one's own ego and one's own desires." (Pope Benedict XVI, [Cardinal Ratzinger] Homily given 4/18/2005 at Votive Mass for the Election of New Pope)'Source: http://www.integratedcatholiclife.org...In his first encyclical, Deus Caritas Est, he said that a human being, created in the image of God who is love, is able to practice love: to give himself to God and others (agape), by receiving and experiencing God's love in contemplation. This life of love, according to him, is the life of the saints such as Teresa of Calcutta and the Blessed Virgin Mary, and is the direction Christians take when they believe that God loves them in Jesus Christ.Source: http://www.vatican.va...Therefore, he is a Catholic.
The Pope is Catholic

My opponent has provided no source for his definition, therefore it must be declared invalid. Seeing how I was the first one to define any terms, and the definitions are valid, accordingt to the dictionary, my definition of Pope as the head of the Coptic Church stands. Therefore, I must refute the proposition that "the head of the coptic church is part of the church led by the Roman Pontiff." Since the Coptic Church is a different church from the Roman Catholic Church (even the names are different), the head of the Coptic Church is coptic not Catholic. Therefore, the resolution is defeated.
Mrs. Becker hates me and is out to get me.

Mr. Miller, I only write on her board simply to wish her a good day and yet she gets mad at me. I do not get in as much trouble as I used to but she is still quite grumpy with me. And, yes I do get in trouble when other people are talking. I strongly dislike that class. Also, your friend Witty11 is a tard and needs to grow up. Even tho you are wrong, I have enjoyed this argument. Good luck on your final comment and just know that you are wrong. See you in Algebra!! lol
Mrs. Becker hates me and is out to get me.

Mrs. Becker is always mad at me and no matter what I do she's never happy. Also, if someone talks to me or starts a conversation with me and I even answer Mrs. Becker yells at me!!! She used to be my favorite teacher until she started hating me. I would like to jump out a window when I am in her class. Therefore I conclude that Mrs. Becker hates me and is out to get me.

'Approval of Congress' should be classified as a mental disease

"Note that I will use previous examples of Congress' performance, and not just the current Congress"Thats fine as long as its reasonably recent..... Like anything before Kennedy is pretty unreasonable. Reasons why people who approve of the job Congress has done recently should be classified as having a mental disease1) People who approve of Congress match all the symptoms of people who have a mental disease.A mental disease is basically a disease of the mind where the psychological state of someone who has emotional or behavioral problems serious enough to require psychiatric intervention. One mental disease in particular, called psychosis, is a severe mental disorder characterized by derangement of personality and loss of contact with reality Now, people who think Congress is doing a good job clearly either have no contact with reality, or they are retarded, which is another type of mental disease. Basically, If You approve of Congress's job -> You are detached from reality -> You have a form of Psychosis -> You have a mental disease2) The statistics line up in favor of the ResolutionAbout 1 out of every 4 Americans suffer from a mental disease: http://www.thekimfoundation.org...Only about 1 in every 20 people even approve of Congress in the first place:http://www.huffingtonpost.com...The sheer number of Americans who have some kind of mental disease implies that those who approve of Congress already have some kind of mental disease. If the number of people who approve of Congress already have mental disorders, then approval of Congress itself could very easily be classified as a mental disease3) Psychiatrists are concerned about those who do approve of Congressprofesional psychiatrists themselves think that those who approve of Congress may have mental disorders. One psychiatrist went on the record at the White House saying “We’re not entirely sure who these people are or where they come from—perhaps they are psych ward patients, or unstable recluses living in remote huts on the outskirts of society—but what we do know is that they are extremely disconnected from reality and in need of immediate attention if they are not already receiving it. We need to find these people and get them the help they need before their illnesses get worse.” http://www.theonion.com...So those are my arguments for why the Approval of Congress should be classified as a mental disease - 1 - People who approve of Congress are likely disconnected from reality, a characteristic of mental diseases - 2 - There are already an a**load of Americans who suffer from mental diseases - 3 - Psychiatrists are concerned for those who do approve of Congress, and believe that they need professional help.
'Approval of Congress' should be classified as a mental disease

For those of you a little confused, 'Approval of Congress' is a very rare condition that some people contract when they approve of the job Congress is doing..... You probably didnt know this since most people dont know that there are people who approve of the job Congress is doing..... I shall argue that 'Approval of Congress' should be classified as a mental disease and all people who approve of Congress's performance shall be deemed as insane and be put into mental hospitals until their condition is cured.
Judgement In America

Mike Brown is a fraud, he wrestled cop for his gun and got shot. The only reason why this hit public news is because, because he is a different skin color. No one get's judged because of their skin color, only their actions. Ok to answer your question, do people get judged in America ? Yes, because humans are judgmental and curious creatures , it is a natural born instinct to judge other people. thepoliticialinsider.com/mikebrown
Judgement In America

In America many people are judged. Whether its their, ethincity, clothes, or "name". Some examples would be, on a recent subject Mike Brown was shot and killed by a police officer in Ferguson, Missouri being an african-american many other caucasians and african-american's thought it was because of his race. On another standpoint of judgement for the clothes idea. A man walks into a grocery store he's wearing some khakis a polo shirt and some nice shoes the store manager see's him and thinks the man is all fine and dandy and thinks he isn't going to per say steal from the store. While another man walks into the same store wearing holy jeans, a led zeppelin t-shirt, and his hairs down to his chest that same store clerk would be watching that man because of what he's wearing you cant disagree there. What I mean from the "name" statement early is going to be my next example. A boy lets say 16 years old has a last name thats also a adults last name their is no relation here but lets say the adult went to prison for drugs. Parents and teachers of that 16 year old are going to judge the child because of the other mans mistakes. While another 16 year old child has a last name thats also used by a major lawyer in that city. People that know the boy not even related by the big time lawyer is going to be picked for anything highly appreciated over the boy with the last name of the drug user. I highly believe that these facts are true, if you would like to see examples comment and i'll post them on Youtube.com
