A mandated minimum wage does more damage than good.

Examination of the resolution: My opponent proposes that a mandated minimum wage will do more harm than good, so in order to successfully refute this claim I must demonstrate that a mandated minimum wage will either result in a net benefit or have no net effect. Due to the definitions, I am going to assume that this applies only in the United States. A few comments about the definitions: Damage: Under this definition, are corporations considered persons? I am going to assume not as this is redundant with the fact that they are owned and managed by people. Good: Though the word profit is used here, this definition does not stipulate exactly what has to be gained. Anything attained which is beneficial will qualify as good even if it does not have an objective monetary value. Also, would my opponent mind if I used text sources? I understand that these are far more difficult to verify than Internet sources, but I happen to have some that are conveniently available. That will be all for now. I await my opponent's arguments.
A mandated minimum wage does more damage than good.

This debate will consist of four rounds. Round One catalogs the pertinent definitions and rules, wherein my opponent may address any concerns. Rounds Two and Three shall comprise the claims, counter-claims, and evidence in a Lincoln-Douglas style debate. Round Four will be reserved for closing arguments and shall not be used to directly counter any previous claims. DEFINITIONS: Mandated: Requirement directed by an act of legislature. Minimum Wage: The least allowable monetary compensation in exchange for one hour of labor. Damage: Loss, detriment, or injury, whether to a person, his property, or his rights. Good: Benefit; advantage; profit; gain.
Resolution: All whole numbers are interesting.

Starting a relatively casual-style debate for anyone interested. I am for the idea that every single whole number can be considered interesting, and my opponent will try to convince us the resolution is false. I will provide all necessary definitions I can think of. (Feel free to let me know if you want me to change any of the given definitions. I will consider reasonable alterations.) All: The whole quantity or extent of a particular group or thing. Whole number: All nonnegative integers, i.e. {0,1,2,3,...} Integer: A number that cannot be written without a fractional component, i.e. {...-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,...} Interesting: Arousing curiosity or interest; holding or catching the attention (This is a difficult word to define in mathematical terms, as it can be subjective what is considered an "interesting" number, but that's the fun of this debtate!) There are four rounds to this debate. The general format will be as follows (though don't worry about adhering to the structure too strictly): Round 1: Acceptance Round 2: Opening Statements Round 3: Rebuttal/Attack Round 4: Defense and Closing Statements The only thing I ask is that you please try and see the debate through. I've had many forfeitures in my recent debates, and I don't want this one to go by the wayside. Happy debating to whoever accepts! Looking forward to this one.
Resolution: All whole numbers are interesting.

"That's like saying there's a finite amount of whole numbers because after a certain point, we will run out of names for them (or it will be so large we won't have enough time in our lives to say the number)." That is exactly what I am saying, except in regards to the reason to why a number is interesting. My opponent's definition of interesting requires a human to have curiosity aroused. As I explained before, humans cannot possibly have curiosity in all whole numbers as humans are finite beings. Claim defended. I want to thank my opponent for this debate, and I especially thank any reader who made it this far in the debate. I hope you enjoyed it. Throughout the debate, I explained how humans cannot have interest in all infinite amount of whole numbers, and my opponent was unable to provide sufficient evidence to dispute me. Last round, I challenged my opponent to find something interesting about the number 76941309571390671361571395. My opponent was either unable, or you might say "uninterested", in finding anything interesting about that number. To the reader I ask, do you think there is something interesting about the number 76941309571390671361571395? What about the number 91 or 5670 or 420 or 45679936266153577389007362728197577388299846648489396362748483939? Do you think every number could possibly be interesting? If yes vote pro. Otherwise, give me your support. To close I want to make something clear. Mathematics is the coolest thing that ever existed. It is actually my major at college. Many numbers are interesting. I am surprised my opponent left it at the Ulam spiral. He could have introduced topics even more interesting than that one. I merely understand the vastness of infinity.

So you're basically that if I want to, I can believe in anyone's intentions and people wont hate me for it. What if I said I like the KKK? You would probably bring that up, wouldn't you? You realize that Manga is made by everybody, not just Japanese people. That's pretty much stereotyping at it's finest. We shouldn't have brought in fandoms huh? That's a laugh, considering YOU"RE THE ONE WHO BROUGHT THEM IN IN THE FIRST PLACE!!! Implying that every person in a fandom is a 40 year old brony is also stereotyping Here's my picture of my opponent: He is a superiority complex-minded, virgin d*uchebag who likes nothing more than to antagonize on sight with everybody who doesn't share his hot passion for dead Russian leaders. As you silently make love to a Stalin cardboard cutout with a cat as a face, trying not to get caught(as he lives in his mother's basement), you ponder where life could have been if you haven't been so stereotypical about your old Japanese boss, who fired you after you asked what Manga he was thinking of making. GET DUNKED ON!

Rebuttal: Me digging at the bottom on the barrel? Please. Just look at your arguments: -You never even said anything about the whole username thing! Infact, if anything, you dropped that arguement! -Like your rants are unbiased? Going against stalin? Don't act like you're the "good" person here. If anything, you're the antagonist. -Most people on the Internet would agree that weeaboos are bad. Infact, there's a guide to NOT be a weeaboo! [https://www.google.com...] I mean, no one likes them! Besides, you didn't say anything about not being a weeaboo, which implies that you are indeed a weeaboo. -This "Format" was obviously hard for you to spot, due to your lack of it. It's not hard to see. -Again, weeaboos ARE the scum of the earth! Even the Japanese, the creators of the content weeaboos band around, hate them! [https://www.google.com...] -Fandoms shouldn't of even been brought into the arguement at all. They are horrible. They are disgusting. They also are 40 year old men who look at MLP fan fictions. But the reason why this whole 'weeaboo' thing came into play, was because you act as if you are part of one! Let's just paint a picture of my opponent: He is a 40 year old Weeaboo who enjoys writing fan fictions. He sleeps by his waifu body pillow every night, licking it gently. His favorite fan fiction to write about is Teen Titans Go! He despises common sense, and the fact that the majority of Debate.org is smarter than him. He sleeps in his basement in his mothers house, and eats Hot Pockets for a living. He is the scum of the earth, to put it simply. Oh, and he's also a Scumbag. I assume the next round is the conclusion.

You are onviosly trying to dig into the bottom of the barrel with your arguments, If you had to look at my profile JUST to find something to rant about. Don't forget there's still a couple of things YOU have avoided... -you never rebutted about the whole username thing -your rant on my likes are totally BIASED! -what is this "format" you speak of? "Being a d*ck 101? -so what about the whole Darwin thing? Christsianity believed the Earth was the center of the universe for thousands of years. But look where that got them. -your saying of weeaboo being "scum of the earth" is nothing but a biased remark against a whole community. That's like me saying people who believe In Stalin's ideas are complete trash and should kill themselves for the betterment of the whole world -Fandoms are none of your business. If you don't like a fandom, just LEAVE IT THE F*CK ALONE! You don't need to make millions of people mad at you with one statement. In conclusion of this round, your complete rambling is nothing but a complete waste of a debate. A mute autistic baby could say a better argument.

Well, It seems like I was wrong. FNAF was not the worst fandom in the world...Undertale is.DEFENCE:Anyway, atleast my profile picture was one made by a legitimate artist, not some crap spat out by some fanboy (http://russiatrek.org...) Besides, even though Stalin is dead, his ideas live on. For example, Charles Darwin is dead, yet people still believe in Evolution and whatnot..The reason why I haven't posted anything I like is so kiddies like you won't be confused by my superior intellect. Besides, I don't have enough time to do it. I spend all of my time Noobsniping people like you.Manga is bad. Ever heard of a weeaboo? Besides, since when was half of the internet full of weeaboos?Spoiler Alert: The reason why i'm a "D*uchebag" is because Teen Titans is utterly horrible. Oh look, it's a bunch of super dramatic teens1! Just because you don't like other people's opinions doesn't mean you can realize the truth: TEEN TITANS SHOULD BE STOMPED OUT.I'd also like to point out that I still use a format, unlike my opponent. 1) My opponent has not talked about how he is a weeaboo.Weeaboo are the scum of the earth. Need I say more?2) My opponent has not talked about how he implies knowing more is bad.He has not once responded to this, most likely affirming that he agrees with this.3) Have you ever seen anyone with an undertale shirt? Just look up "Undertale fanart" and you'll be blasted with the sheer...You can't even describe it.4) He is still a FNAF fan.Again, he has not responded to how he is not a FNAF fan. So, he still a scumbag.My professional diagnosis:Yomama12= Scumbag

Pacifier? Would a baby be able to type on a keyboard? Now that I think about, a baby on a keyboard could probably type a better argument by smacking the sh*t out of it. You think FNAF is a bad profile picture? LOOK AT YOURS! Do you think I can take you seriously when you have a cat soldier as your profile picture? At least mine is a picture people would actually use for a profile picture. I could have a seizure while on Photoshop and make a better picture than yours. And thats not even pointing out your username... Besides, would you rather I have this as my profile picture? Its one of the only other things I LIKE! Stalin's ideas died with him. get with the program. Everyone knows it's time to Trump it. Why haven't YOU posted anything about what YOU like. Lets think about that. Are there REASONS behind it, EMBARRASSING things you want to keep private? Manga's bad? Slow down there, or you'll get half the internet up your arse, demanding you take it back. Teen Titans was an excellent series. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean you need to antagonize everyone that does! What if I said I don't like Stalin? Or cats? That doesn't mean anything. Your just proving yourself to be a butthurt pr*ck whos head is so far up their own arse they can't accept the fact that there's more ways of thinking than D*uchebag 101 Good day sir!

Defence: I'm not a real debater? Are you sure? At Least I'm not a 9 year old FNAF fan boy. Besides, let's think about it: My name is MUCH better than yours. "Yomama12?" Are you 6 years old? At least my user name is original. Additionally, while Stalin is dead, he lead one of the most powerful nations in the world. So in other words, as he lies in his coffin, he is still better. His lifeless skeleton could probably chew you out better than you could. Besides, I don't need to try to be cool. I am the Cool Reincarnate! After all, my luscious dome that happens to be my head agrees. Besides, I'm not the one stuck with the pacifier. Now, let's move on to my opponent: 1) He has shown no sign of intelligence! I mean, lets be serious. Have you ever seen an intelligent person with a FNAF shirt? FNAF Avatars? No one has. Seriously, FNAF is the bane of everyone existence and should be stomped out like everything else this generation spouts out. After all, it is pure cringe. "Damn Daniel?" More like "Damn, I'm a retard." 2) He implies that knowing more things than others is bad. Since when was this bad? If I'm not mistaken, doesn't EVERYONE on this site know more than the average person? Well, with the exception of you, of course. Anyway, if that's true, you just gave the international finger salute to everyone on this site! Doesn't this make your blood boil? That is just an insult to this site. 3) He likes Teen Titans Go! Seriously? This just PROVES that you're 6 years old! Didn't that show get down because all of the kiddies who watched it actually got a life? 4)He likes the worst thing known to man: MANGA. In other words, he's a weeaboo. Go join a "fandom" that isn't full of dimwits, if you could. Then again, I think that's the only "Fandom" that you could really be liked in. After all, you have the most experience. 5) I actually use a format instead of sprouting out garbage that can easily be dissed. There really is no need for an argument here. After all, it's not really a debate. It's more like a Noob Snipe". I look forward to a good massacre!

My opponent's hilarious attempt to woo the crowd in his favor by proclaiming his devotion to Stalin is a futile one. He's basically saying "vote for me! I know more things than him!" We all know Stalin is dead, deal with it. "ComradeMeow"? What kind of name is that? If I closed my eyes and pointed to two random words in a dictionary, I could come up with a better username than that. It's 6year olds like you that I hate on this site. Voting on a biased opinion instead of the actual arguments, antagonizing anyone that doesn't agree with your logic or ideas,etc. You try to make yourself cool, so everyone will respect you. Your nipple-sized brain can't comprehend the fact that it's quite the opposite. Learn to be a real debater before coming back here.
Should the United States promote electric vehicles

Thanks for the debate flamebreath. Definitions Princeton's Wordnet defines: United States as the "United States government." [1] promote as "contribute to the growth of" [2] electric as "operated by electricity" [3] vehicle as "a conveyance that transports people or objects" [4] conveyance as "something that serves as a means of transportation" [5] Observations The only way the government typically contributes to the growth of certain industries is through subsidy. We should therefore take the resolution to include heavy subsidies to electric vehicle industries, in order to make these industries cost-competitive. Electric means operated wholly by electricity. If the vehicle is operated by other power sources as well, it is not "electric," it is a "hybrid." "Vehicle" includes all transportation mediums. The resolution does not allow the government to discriminate. This means that fully electric airplanes, buses, cars, boats, and motorcycles must all be promoted equally. Burden of Proof My opponent, as pro/instigator, has the burden to prove that the government should subsidize all electric vehicles. We should look at which policy creates the great good for the greatest number. If I prove that the free market is a better mechanism of promotion, then he fails his BOP. I look forward to hearing his case. Citations [1] http://wordnetweb.princeton.edu... [2] http://wordnetweb.princeton.edu... [3] http://wordnetweb.princeton.edu...

Should the United States promote electric vehicles

My opponent continually argue that the government is "picking the winner" itself however he failed to realize that the government is promoting as to advertising it not mandating it. it is left for the buyer/market to actually make the decision of buying it and extending the range in which it grows. "In Brazil, sugar ethanol powers 45% of their cars" we must see that the United states is not able to create an alternative such sugar ethanol simply because it does not have such a natural resource and even if the United States is able to provide or create a reliable alternative to electric cars, we will see an increase need for this product thus creating the same problem as faced today. The United States government must find that these electric cars and hybrid cars are already in there control and all there is left for the4m to do, is to advertise it thus promoting and increasing the chances of sale. Efficiency is the one key need when looking at the development of a new vehicle with a different power source. The United States government as well as its citizen will be able to tell that the electric car is much efficient to that of a petroleum powered car. "The U.S. uses far more energy per capita than any other nation. If we truly care about the cost and the environment, the goal should be to decrease our per capita energy consumption. One key way of doing this is to decrease the number of cars on the road and to increase the amount of public transportation," this statement was made by my opponent. This might seem quite understandable however we must look to the fact that we do not have to build new power grid's to accommodate the electric car thus making it environmental friendly as well as stabilizing the amount of energy consumed by the U.S My opponent seems to be convinced that the electric car is expensive due to its maintenance; however let us look into the fact that the electric car is "dependable" as well as "reliable", with this been said, the electric car will not need to be repaired for many years unless of an accident. We must see that an electric car is the only comprehensive alternative to the petroleum car at it is cost efficient, dependable and environmentally friendly.
The Allies could have ended the Holocaust earlier

Extend all arguments. Thank you. Oh, and remember this. "First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out Because I was not a Socialist. Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out Because I was not a Trade Unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out Because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me And there was no one left to speak for me." - Martin Niemï¿½ller
The Allies could have ended the Holocaust earlier

Multiple reports were given to the Allies, namely America and Britain, and they refused to act on them. Their argument at the time was that they did not want to divert resources from the hammering of Germany. However, Germany's great Luftwaffe was almost entirely destroyed by the time these reports were out and the Allies could do something of them (late 1944). There were pleas for Allied Aircraft to at least destroy the supply lines to some of the concentration camps but again weak promises were made and these was never actually done. Had the citizens of the Allied nations (again America and Britain) known about these things, there would have been outrage and demand for something to be done. In short, the Anti Semitism of the era was felt by everyone and not just the Nazi nation.
