Resolved: Marijuana should be legalized for recreational purposes.

Resolved: Marijuana should be legalized for recreational purposes.I will be affirming this topic today, because my view (at least for the purposes of this debate) is that the decriminalization of marijuana has no place in society.Here are my conditions for a successful debate:Round 1 - agreement to debate, introductionRound 2 - definitions, burdens, values, and contention-level argumentsRound 3 - refutations to the arguments and conditions created in Round 2Round 4 - summary and crystallization of the key arguments and voting issueHere are a couple of observations hat I have with respect to the previous structure. NEITHER PRO NOR CON MAY DO THE FOLLOWING THINGS. These should be automatic grounds for disqualification:1. beginning contention-level arguments, definitions, values, burdens, or observations in Round 12. doing any refutations of the opponent's arguments in Round 2 (ex: Con cannot spend his/her Round 2 speech refuting my arguments from Round 2)3. trolling, loitering, or being disrespectful to the opponentAnd finally, a couple of expectations for the round (so long as my opponent agrees to them):1. use evidence, statistics, and examples to illustrate arguments2. follow through with impacts to arguments, clearly defining how each links back to the values and burdens stated at the beginning of the Round 2 speeches3. sign-post arguments (ex: using contentions or benefits)I will NOT make any definitions or specific arguments until the Con accepts this debate.I look forward to this debate!
PE should be removed from schools, or at least reformed.

Exercise =/= sports. Other forms of excercise include: - Swimming - Diving - Running - Skiing - Biking - Walking a dog - Dancing - Skating - Doing pushups often I do some of these things myself, and find that I actually get more exercise doing them than I ever would have at PE. The school can simply encourage kids to do such things on their own time, and without PE, they can shorten the school day and give kids more time to do so. How does sport help mental state, exactly? Albert Einstein was bad at sports, yet he excelled in math and science. (despite popular belief, he did not repeat a year). [1] You know what he did instead? Music! Music is a huger part of our culture than sports, and it has been proven to help people be smarter, happier, and more successful. [2] Any "nerd" can tell you that HS gym class is the cruellest thing they have ever experienced. I have even heard that from (successful!) adults who were weak in PE, so you can't tell me I will end up a hobo on the street because I was no basketball hero. PE shames those who are not athletic, sometimes causing them to overwork themselves on their own time, develop bulimia, become depressed, bullied, or strive to be with the "popular crowd." And yet schools are wondering why kids are being bullied. School sports and PE basically put the most primal kids up on the pedestal, promoting the "jock-nerd" separation in American high schools. [3] As long as they take breaks to exercise (and as I stated, exercise doesn't have to be a sport), there is nothing wrong with people using a computer just because you didn't have one. It isn't a loss of culture; it's just a different culture. And if you really want to preserve culture, we could always bring back the Gladiators, who mutilated each other for the sake of "entertainment". Physical health is important, but it is impossible to expect all people to perform the same (and just RUDE to fail a person for being just a little "behind"). It's like saying, "You're a fat gay *#& nerd dweeb!! We don't need you, haha!!" Every person has their own potential and exercise needs, but we can't write a product description that says, "all kids must be able to chase after an oblong brown ball and throw it in a complex ritual." In conclusion, kids should exercise more, but PE causes more harm than good. "Physical education is an oxymoron" -Anonymous [1] http://www.einstein-website.de... [2] http://www.psychologytoday.com...

PE should be removed from schools, or at least reformed.

In my debate I will outline why PE is necessary for the benefit of not only health, but also education. Children nowadays are spending too much time on the computer nowadays. They do not get out enough and do sports and if PE were to be removed from school, this problem would only get worse. Children learn about exercise, how keeping a good health is important and also learn how to play sports. PE is a step for the less-athletic children to get an insight into the world of sport and often turns them towards the athletic path. A benefit of it being graded is to encourage children to get fit, and they learn to set goals in order to run a specific amount of laps or something of the sort. America is known to be "fat and lazy" if we were to remove PE from the school system this would only further prove this and would show that America is turning to a society run in favour of obesity. Child obesity is an issue that needs to be dealt with and in order to do this PE needs to remain part of the curriculum, and should be made more strenuous. In saying that we do not need to know about sports and their history is completely out of the world. Sports have affected every part of life ; entertainment, politics and economics and are crucial. If we were to remove the education of sports and healthy living from our students; what culture remains? PE is not just a benefit for children's mental and physical health state, it is a crucial part of education and should not be removed.
PE should be removed from schools, or at least reformed.

PE (as we know it) doesn't really have a place in schools as a graded, sports-based program. Problems with PE: - It's not really about getting fit as much as it is about sports. Sports and PE promote the Alpha-Omega social structure that we are trying to get away from. Not all people understand sports, and it makes no sense to punish those people. - It's graded. There are problems with having a graded PE course. It is wrong to expect every kid to run a twelve-minute mile and then penalize them for not doing so. I am speaking as a student with a naturally lower muscle tone due to sensory processing disorder. It's not that I am lazy. As much as I try, my genes simply don't allow it, and there are thousands (perhaps millions) of other "nerds" in this world who would agree with me. Sure, physical fitness is important, but what profession (other than a professional sports player) depends on one's ability to throw a ball?
The advent of social media is a curse on academic excellence

The advent of Social media has it's benefits, but towards our ability to excel in scholastic activities, it is a curse. A doom. Social media is a silent killer of vocabulary. Most often words are abbreviated to enable users chat faster. Students get so used to this manner of expression that their grammatical competence becomes extensively ruined. These abbreviated words unconsciously creeps into their essays and thus causing bad grades. Social media nationally has affected students ability to think straight during classes since the form intimate relationship, get bullied. Cyberbullying is a national occurrence that has affects lots of students, therefore making them psychologically disorientated. Looking forward to my opponents argument.
The advent of social media is a curse on academic excellence

social media has its benefits but towards our academics, it is curse. students get so attracted to social media that their grammatical competence becomes extensively compromised due to the fact that most often words are abbreviated to make chatting faster. nationally, social media is a curse to our academic activities and course work because ; 1. it is an agent of distraction, creating addiction and procrastination 2.it reduces socialization skills in person 3.psychological disorientation through cyber bullying 4.it is a fertile ground for bad influences. looking forward to my opponents argument.
The Statement "Moderation in All Things" Is A Logical Fallacy.

When one imposes a statement such as "moderation in all things"They mean moderation in all things.Why is it a fallacy-1. Moderation is a thing.2. If moderation was in all things, then all things aren't in moderation. 3. Therefore, moderation isn't in all things because for moderation to be in everything it would have to be moderate, and if it is in all things it is not moderate.
The Statement "Moderation in All Things" Is A Logical Fallacy.

I'm sad to see that ESB did not take the opportunity to present the case for PRO. I will just make a short argument for CON, but will be waiting for PRO to post more. When we evaluate anything as being "too much," "too little," "too long," etc. , we are already using normative language. Normative language here means that we are making a judgment about what ought to be the case. Thus, whenever we describe anything x as "too P," then we are saying that there is a range within which P ought to fall for xs, and furthermore that x is outside of its proper range in Pness. Now, specifically applied to doing and having:When we say that someone x "has too much y," then we are saying: There is some range of amounts of y that is proper to have. One ought to only have y within this range. Thus, it just follows from what it means to say that x "has too much y" that x should not have the amount of y it does. The same follows analogous for doing. Just from the definition of "doing too much y" it follows that the amount of y done ought not to be done.

Thank you for the challenge, emospongebob527. I hope this will be an interesting debate. Just to be certain about the definitions you gave, I will re-state them the way I understand them and ask a clarificatory question. If you think I have misunderstood your definitions, we may need to call this off. Otherwise I am looking forward to your opening statement in round two.When you say 'no semantics,' I'm not entirely certain what this constraint amounts to. You frame the debate in the context of logical fallacy. In logic, the word 'semantics' has a clear meaning: The assignment of meaning to the symbols. Here is the opening paragraph of the entry on Classical Logic from the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy:Typically, a logic consists of a formal or informal language together with a deductive system and/or a model-theoretic semantics. The language is, or corresponds to, a part of a natural language like English or Greek. The deductive system is to capture, codify, or simply record which inferences are correct for the given language, and the semantics is to capture, codify, or record the meanings, or truth-conditions, or possible truth conditions, for at least part of the language. [1]You furthermore gave an English sentence as the statement under debate: "You should not do or have too much of anything"Since this debate is about this sentence being a "logical fallacy," I suppose this means that the underlying logical structure of this sentence entails a fallacy. In other words, the English sentence is the semantics to some underlying sentence in a more formal logical language.In any event, I accept the debate in the understanding that the following is under discussion:"You should not do or have too much of anything" is a logical fallacyI will be taking the con side. As a matter of fact, I am upping the ante. I will be arguing that "You should not do or have too much of anything" is either a necessary truth or meaninglessI take it to be obvious that a sentence being a necessary truth or meaningless entails that it is not a fallacy (only meaningful sentences can be logically true or false.)-----------------------------[1] Shapiro, Stewart, "Classical Logic", The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy (Winter 2009 Edition), Edward N.

Time does not exist

Time does not exist. Just think about it, as an object how can it. Time is merely something invented by humans to tell the difference between now and then, then does not exist. People argue the potential of time travel but how is that even plausible if nothing exists but now, it's not like all history is being saved on some hard-drive for future reference and future does not exist on some tape that we can fast forward to have a peek at what's to come. All there is, is now. Any takers?

Thanks Pro. Your biggest fans are fat nerds playing first person shooters, sitting on their @ss and jacking off on computers. I'm not sure if you're in a game- It's just so f*cking lame... It's just geeks running around hoping they'll get a girl, it's so sad it leaves me running away to hurl. I gag when people say your strength is amusing. What do you do even do with it besides grunt abusing? I can't believe you've been succesful with so many failures.Look at Cortana. Aw. I guess you couldn't save her... You’re really just a pissed off fat prick, with a miniscule d!ck. Just playing your games leaves heads with empty space, you’re a guy who’s to scared to show his face. I think it’s evident now, that you just don’t have a case.

Islam- The Black Stone will come forth on the Day of Resurrection and will testify in favour of those who touched it in truth. It was narrated that Ibn "Abbaas said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said concerning the Stone: "By Allaah, Allaah will bring it forth on the Day of Resurrection, and it will have two eyes with which it will see and a tongue with which it will speak, and it will testify in favour of those who touched it in sincerity." Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, 961; Ibn Maajah, 2944 This hadeeth was classed as hasan by al-Tirmidhi, and as qawiy by al-Haafiz ibn Hajar in Fath al-Baari, 3/462 In Revelation 13:15 it says: "The second beast was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that the image could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed." 1. Islam- The Black Stone fell to this earth from Paradise. It was narrated that Ibn "Abbaas said: The Messenger of Allah said: "The Black Stone fell from Paradise." (Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, 877; al-Nasaa"i, 2935. The hadeeth was classed as saheeh by al-Tirmidhi). In Luke 10:18 Jesus Says that Satan fell from Heaven. He replied, "I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. -Luke 10:18 2. Islam- The Stone was whiter than milk, but the sins of the sons of Adam made it black. It was narrated that Ibn "Abbaas said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "When the Black Stone came down from Paradise, it was whiter than milk, but the sins of the sons of Adam made it black." (Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, 877; Ahmad, 2792. Classed as saheeh by Ibn Khuzaymah, 4/219. Al-Haafiz ibn Hajar classed it as qawiy (strong) in Fath al-Baari, 3/462). In Ezekiel 28:15 it gives a similar depiction to Satan "You were blameless in your ways from the day you were created till iniquity was found in you." -Ezekiel 28:15 Picture of the Kaaba stone from Islam in Mecca. It would be what Muslims use to fulfill the concept of the image of the beast to be bowed to. The Bible says the image will speak. Muslims believe it will speak. The Bible says they will bow to it. Muslims do bow to it. KAABA STONE- https://www.gettyimages.fi... MUSLIMS BOWING TO KAABA STONE- http://astrology-arijit.blogspot.com...

Muslims believe they are the followers of the Antichrist

The Qur'an mentions that the Beast from the Earth will address the unbelievers and admonish them for their lack of attention towards God. The following is the purport of the Qur'anic verse that has been discussed: And when the Word is fulfilled against them (the unjust), we shall produce from the earth a beast to (face) them: He will speak to them, for that mankind did not believe with assurance in Our Signs. "R01;Qur'an, sura 27 (An-Naml),ayat"82 According to hadith traditions from"Al-Tirmidhi,"Dabba"will have the"Seal of Solomon and the"Staff of Moses. He will"mark"the believers with the staff and the seal will mark the"unbelievers. ----- The New Testament, which predates Islam by 600-700 years, states that the "Beast from the Earth" will be the "False Prophet", who gives authority to the "Beast from the Sea" (AKA the Satanic being who claims to be god in the end times). The Islamic version of the Mahdi is literally given in Islamic eschatology, the qualities of this Satanic agent, the "Beast from the Sea". Examples of this are that he rules the world under one religion that rejects that Jesus is the "Son of God". In Sahih al-Bukhari Book Number 73 Hadith Number 224"Allah's Apostle said, " The most awful name in Allah's sight on the Day of Resurrection, will be (that of) a man calling himself Malik Al-Amlak (the king of"kings) In the NT, which predates Islam, it says in Revelation 19:16, "On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written: king of kings and lord of lords." (This speaking of Jesus Christ as depicted in the NT. Based on this data, the Mahdi is a Satanic agent who will reject Christ as the Son of God, will be given support by the False Prophet, and will destroy the Christians and Jews. Then he, the Mahdi/Antichrist will attempt to rule the world, destroy anyone who opposes his false religion, and will oppose the "King of Kings" in the end of days. https://en.m.wikipedia.org...(Revelation) https://en.m.wikipedia.org... http://endtimerevelations.weebly.com...
Muslims believe they are the followers of the Antichrist

what you said is an assumption. Muslims believe that there is no one worthy of worship except ALLAH and believe that Prophet Muhummed is the last and final Prophet of Allah. Just telling you Isa (Jesus) is not the real god. He was made up. Before the day of judgment, he will come down and break the cross. If you do not trust me go to http://islamhelpline.net... Thank you
