Resolved: Cats rule the world.

To begin, Considering the Obvious:My opponent brings up here the Imperial city of the Walruses and states that it has Cats cowering in fear, but he fails to realize that the cats have several cities equal to it. (. http://www.mywarriorcats.com...) If you look to the link that I provided you can see that the cats have developed clans much likes the humans version of countries. They are ThunderClan, WindClan, ShadowClan, and lastly RiverClan. These cats worship another clan known as Starclan, the cat equilivance to heaven. (. http://www.warriorcats.com...) So you see here the cats rule Earth as well as the stars. Also from my last round remember cats control the after-life with the Tails doll. The Great War of_____ This War did take place, but let me bring up World War 2. (the second Great War) The clans of the cats teamed together to help stop armaggedon where hell was released on Earth and the Clans defeated them! (see video for more details) . http://www.youtube.com... So you see Walruses owe more to cats that's why they remain in the cold weather since they know that cats have conquered the demons of hell! Tusked and Dangerous My opponent claims that my disease claim is illogical and not under this resolution, but I ask you if someone has a weakness or strength, then isn't it included? The Walrus has tusk and has a massive amount of weight. I stated in round 1 that they include all cats this means their baggage swell since the Walrus has several weapons themselves. You see all cats means sick and infected ones too a long with normal cats. Thus my argument stands. Anyways back to the debate before I get too off track. Cats control their environment. With their poop virus they can make people take care of them and people commit suicide. So when this is applied to Walruses you can see this can cause treachery and that it can cause the Walrus to commit suicide! Not only that but the cats can make food come to them and Walruses cannot do such a thing. Tails Doll: Cat or Dog? My opponent says that foxes are more like dogs than cats, but according to Animal Question. org the fox has more of the same genomes as a cat than a dog. (. http://animalquestions.org...) Now he says that it's given their habits, but genes are more important then habits as it is distinct proof that it they are more related. Secondly my opponent committed a no-no, 1 of the rules was no wikipeadia and sadly that was the source he used and shall be discarded. Con's ClosingI forgive Con for his forfeit as I even asked for him to hold off until the weekend since I would be gone. He did so but FF'd. So I'll pardon that FF. ConclusionIn conclusion, I have proved that Cats control the world after the defeating of hell and stopping armaggedon, after life through the Tails Doll and their supernatural powers, and finally, that they control humans through their poop disease!
Resolved: Cats rule the world.

I have set out to prove something that is implanted in the back of all your minds. The fact that the Walruses rule the world, not the cats. To begin, Considering the Obvious: Deep in the remote regions of Antarctica lies a civilization so powerful that we refuse to speak of it. Miles under the seemingly boring ice lies a city of fortune and glory. The city of the majestic beasts that we know as the Walruses. Though the name of this great city is unknown, we humans know that disturbing it would be our demise. Cats also follow this general rule and cower in their summer homes. As they sleep so warmly inside their homes, the Walruses roam the streets looking for anyone foolish enough to be out past the stern but fair curfew of 10:05 PM. So, deeming the fact that a cat will never confront a Walrus, just as humans, Walruses rule the world. The Great War of _____: It is well known that a war broke out some undetermined time ago. It was between the might Walrus and the Feeble minded cats of Earth. This brutal and bloody battle ended with the Walruses driving the cats to what I refer to as "Summer Homes" to wait for the extinction of the Walrus (which we know is never going to happen). We know that this war did in fact take place, but we are sadly missing the details, such as where or when. All that is known is that the cats made a full retreat, leaving the Walruses to rule. Tusked and Dangerous: You claim that cats are dangerous because of what they carry. This is not the topic of the debate, but if you want to get into the capabilities of a full-grown Walrus, be my guest. With out any parasite of disease, a Walrus could tusk you down before you could even say "Walrus, I wish not to be tusked, my good sir". Walruses are a forced to be reckoned with, even without the tusks. Walruses weigh about 4,400 pounds, which is more than most cars. Would you like to be sat on by a Walrus, silly house cats? I think not. Also, their excess skin makes them nearly unstoppable, like armor. As for the fox, they are more like dogs than cats given their habits, and every Walrus knows that a dog is not something to be worried about. Closing with Deepest Regret: I am sorry for the trouble I have caused by FF. I hope that all is forgiven, and we can finish this debate with smiles and tubs of Ice-Cream (If the Walrus allows it before dinner). I wish you luck in your rebuttals.

Resolved: Cats rule the world.

Alrighty then lets get things rolling. Cats rule the world by the cat poop parasite, or scientifically known as Toxoplasma gondii. This parasite is formed by an infection in the cat's intestines and then it makes it's way into the cats poop. Even touching the places where the poop has been you get you infected. (http://jem.rupress.org...) And it has infected 22.5% of the US population that is 12 and older and 95% of the world! Those found with the parasite have a 1.5 chance of committing suicide. (http://www.sciencedaily.com...) and (http://www.livescience.com...) It also infects ants and makes them stand on the edge of grass so birds will eat them and then it will infect the bird so it won't fly away when cats go after them. Then there is Cat Scratch Disease which causes mild infection, swollen lymph nodes, fever and fatigue. Cryptosporidiosis causes fever, nausea, cramps, vomiting, and diharria. Hookworm causes intestinal bleeding, inflammation, and abdominal pains. (the link for these are at the bottom of this page titled 10 scary diseases pets can give you. (http://www.cbsnews.com...)Humans also worship cats. Ever since ancient Egypt people have worshipped cats, because they have devine powers. Thus showing that cats are an other wordly being. (http://www.ask.com...) Here's now going to be a scary one. Foxes are cats! (http://www.furrydolphin.net...) Now we all know Tails the fox right? (https://www.google.com...)Well Cats are more paranormal than you think. There is a tails doll curse to when you beat Sonic in a race with the tails doll the Tails doll will appear on your screen and come out to kill you. Please see the video for more Tails Doll Details. (http://www.youtube.com...) I now await my opponents arguments.
Resolved: Cats rule the world.

In this debate we will be debating the subject on weather or not cats rule the world. But first lets lay down some rules for this debate.Rules1st round is acceptanceNo new arguments after round 3Wikipeadia shall not be citedTrolling to an extent is premittedNo cussingNo forfietureIf any of the above points are violated then all 7 points go to the opposition.Acceptance will accept that cats include all cats not just some.
Murder is Morally Wrong

(By the way, for the few who care, I've been gone for a while now. A broken computer and various other problems have been responsible for my lengthy departure. I forfeited a few debates and for that, I am sorry.)The first round is not acceptance only, but it is understood that Pro will forfeit the last round (with no penalty, of course) in order to keep the debate fair. Pro is arguing that murder is morally wrong. Con is only arguing that it is not wrong. He is not arguing that it is the morally right thing to do. Thanks for accepting!
The Social Effects of Sin in America

Many religions such as Catholics, Methodists, and Mormons believe that humans are sinners and that they will not be able to go to Heaven if they do not ask for forgiveness, pray for their sins, etc. Sin is defined as "any act regarded as such a transgression, especially a willful or deliberate violation of some religious or moral principle" [1]. The origin of sin dates back to the exalting of Lucifer by God; however, God "gives his creatures freedom of choice" [2]. It is here that humans are given a choice whether or not to act. This ties well into the definition provided. It is due to this that humans are not sinners "by nature," but rather by their own consciousness. Many use this argument to enforce the ideas behind homosexuality and conversion of religious beliefs (just to name a couple) in order to argue that these people are sinners when there are little to no evidence supporting the immorality of homosexuality and conversion of religion, thus creating tension between these groups plus many others. The point that I am making is that humans do commit "sin", but rather make mistakes and bad choices that are later used in order to determine their good will. The definition of sin has become very broad with the tie-in to the judgment of God and the nature of man, but these "sinners" are making their decisions for themselves. It is for these reasons that many are afraid to sin because they feel God will not grant them into Heaven, they believe their family will be mad at them, they feel they will be put down by their friends, and the list goes on. Coinciding with this argument is the idea of a judgmental God. The idea that sin (or amount of sin) committed and whether or not you ask for forgiveness will determine whether or not you will go to Heaven is highly regarded in religions similar to that of Christianity. The idea of a judgmental God condescends the well-being of the human condition by means of mental health and social implications. There are many aspects to this argument that will undoubtedly arise, but for the sake of time and effort, here are a couple of rules: 1) Keep the argument as close as possible to the social effects that sin imposes/do not impose in America. 2) This is not an argument based on the existence of God, religion, sin, Heaven, etc. Refrain from using these arguments, for it poses an entirely different topic; however, feel free to use your belief system to aid you in your argument.

Nuclear Power is the only way to provide sufficient energy for the future and must be invested in.

I am so so sorry. I hate to forfeit. Rebuttals: "Contrary to popular belief, Nuclear power creates 'zero harmful emissions'" Though it may not cause harmful emissions, it can still be incredibly dangerous. The radioactive waste can possess a threat to the environment and is dangerous for humans[1]. A famous example is the Chernobyl accident, where the harmful effects of nuclear radiation on humans affected around 600,000 people. Estimates conclude that somewhere between 15,000 and 30,000 people lost their lifes in the Chernobyl aftermath and more than 2.5 million Ukrainians are still struggling with health problems related to nuclear waste[1]. Just last year, on March 18, a major nuclear crisis happenend again in Japan, again causing major uproar and even restricting trade[3]. While the casualties were not as high as with the Chernobyl accident, the environmental effects were disastrous. History shows that we can never really be fully protected against these disasters, so nuclear power is not safe[1]. In contrast, solar power is 100% eco friendly and not harmful[4]. "Nuclear Energy is better than renewable energy sources like solar power." "There's no way renewables can keep up." "Nuclear is a nearly bottomless resource." Renewable energy sources are much more safe, and also extremely plentiful as they're always available and always will be[4]. There are many, many more advantages to solar power over nuclear as well[5], including throwing away the need for a house to be hooked up to a power grid as it does using nuclear energy. In fact, nuclear power tied for last in a list created by Stanford University's published Mark Jacobson[6]. Also, the US has tons of solar power resources and the production of more provides jobs[4]. As you can tell, I firmly believe solar power is a better resource. Sources: [1] http://energyinformative.org... [2] http://www.greenfacts.org... [3] http://fukushimaupdate.com...

Howdy. Before I get started, I'd like to say that this is my first debate on this website, so please forgive me for any oddities or broken unofficial rules. I'd really appreciate any tips anyone can leave in the comments; thanks! First, Nuclear Energy is better than current energy sources. If we switch to nuclear power over traditional coal and natural gas power plants, the over 5 billion metric tons of CO2 emissions in the US alone (1) could be reduced to almost nothing, which creates a healthier environment and solves global warming (2). Contrary to popular belief, Nuclear power creates "zero harmful emissions" and fossil fuel emissions actually correlate much more strongly with cancer rates (3). The cost of nuclear is also comparative with that of conventional fuels (4), and prices are less likely to fluctuate due to foreign oil booms or downturns. By turning to nuclear, we can save the planet and keep our energy needs domestic, which makes us less reliant on other countries for energy. Second, Nuclear Energy is better than renewable energy sources like wind and solar power. While all three energy producers have had technology available for decades, nuclear energy currently accounts for 20% of the nation's energy production while the heavily subsidized renewable energy sector accounts for only 2% (5). The world's energy demand is increasing rapidly, and there's no way renewables can keep up. While solar panels and wind farms take up massive fields (wind farms even slaughter birds and destroy migration patterns), nuclear energy is extremely space-efficient for the same amount of energy. With a constantly growing population, space is a valuable resource that we shouldn't be wasting on solar and wind power when there's a better option. In addition, nuclear material is in such great supply that it's virtually a renewable- we won't run out for centuries, and more efficient methods are constantly being developed (6). Nuclear is a nearly bottomless resource that is the only way we can sustainably keep up with rising demands for energy and space. (1) http://www.eia.gov... (2) http://www.scientificamerican.com...

Counter strike:global offensive (pro) is better than and more versatile than team fortress 2 (con)

Thank you for clarifying. To address your point on competition game play, that is not a deal breaker that makes a game lackadaisical or not. The proof is within it's community. 8 years after its development, it's peak players still manages to out number it's current players. http://store.steampowered.com... If it was as lackadaisical as you want to argue why would people continue to play after 8 years? And to address your "it doesn't have the spark other FPS has" that is completely wrong as well. It has a spark in its own unique way, if every game was the same why bother making others? If one style truly trumped the rest why would there be players actively playing different types of games let alone different types of FPS.
Counter strike:global offensive (pro) is better than and more versatile than team fortress 2 (con)

I apologize as I have misspelled the word lackadaisical Lackadaisical: 1. without interest, vigor, or determination; listless; lethargic: a lackadaisical attempt. I believe that counter strike global offensive is better for more than one reason, in this round I will state and base all topic upon the following: competition Team fortress lacks substantially in the field of competition, it has a noticeable depth missing in it. Counter strike, however, has competition on a vast and diverse scale, be this trying to make esports, or trying to get into a clan. Counter strike, If you have noticed has a lot more competition online and internationally in not only esports but simple "fun" gameplay counter strike has to offer. The maps are specifically designed with competition in mind, and doesn't always have the simple 3 lane maps. Counter strike, especially global offensive, can bring extraordinary levels of competition to all players (rank 1 to nova master) it is always there.
