Should the everyday of the school year end at 1:30 PM

I do not think kids should get out of school at 1:30 everyday because it will cause kids to lose more education. Because of this, kids could not get a good education. For some schools, kids get off school at 1:30 on 1 day, at that is bad also. Kids are always saying that they want to get out of school, and go home. For the kids that like school, it is hard for them to get early.
The USFG should fast-track immigration requests from Mexicans willing to relocate to Texas.

The current Texas unemployment rate is sitting at 8.5%..... That is actually pretty bad because when the economy of a nation is strong then unemployment usually sits below 5%...... Allowing illegal immigrants to then make their way into Texas faster would cause that number to rise. Since unemployment can go up fairly quickly but take quite some time to go down, that would have a very very bad effect on the economy of Texas... http://www.google.com... Texas is a big state. Just because Texas is a big state doesnt mean it could hold even more people since its empty.... Texas already has an overblown healthcare and medicare system and putting more people to receive benefits without adding just as many to pay for it will also cause the state more problems. Also most of Texas is arid desert so the resources that would be consumed to bring these people into Texas would put an even larger strain on water resources in one of the most drought stricken regions in the US http://www.texaswatermatters.org... http://www.time.com... http://blogs.edf.org... http://www.texastribune.org... http://www.businessinsider.com... Putting them in Texas cause it has more space would be like making Canadians live in Alaska because it is larger. Not all Mexicans would feel at home in Texas, half the population speaks English, the state is fiercely republican and republicans are very well known for being anti-immigration, and their families are probably still in Mexico. Just because other Mexicans are already there also doesn't make them feel at home. Im surrounded by white people over here in Florida but I dont feel at home unless I actually have friends and family nearby, and Im sure the same concept applies to Latinos... Texas does have a massive border with Mexico but traffic crossing the border is already near a standstill because border officials need to sweep cars that may be transporting illegal immigrants or narcotics across the border. A huge increase in traffic would slow down traffic even more and the increase traffic load would take longer to move along which means people work longer which then costs more. The roads are so congested that they already cost the state about $22.6 billion a year. Adding more cars would make that number worse unless many new huge highways are built to accommodate traffic, and that would be just as expensive, perhaps more. http://www.texastribune.org... http://tti.tamu.edu... http://www.freerepublic.com... Allowing substantially more green cards to Mexican's who want to come to Texas would provide many immediate long term and short term setbacks to Texas's already struggling economy.
The USFG should fast-track immigration requests from Mexicans willing to relocate to Texas.

In my opinion, with the possible exception of Oklahoma, you won't find a more impressive state anywhere between Albuquerque and New Orleans than Texas. This state has so much to offer visitors and residents alike and I am very confident that many unemployed Mexicans would be as impressed with Texas as I am. That's why I propose that the US Government substantially increases the number of Green Cards granted to Mexicans willing to relocate there. This would be good for the Mexicans and good for Texas for the following reasons: 1 - Texas has one of the lowest unemployment rates in the US so there will be plenty of jobs for them, thus solving any labor shortage problems. 2 - Texas is a big state, with plenty of space to accommodate immigrant workers and their families. 3 - The Mexicans will feel at home because there are so many of them there already. 4 - It has a border with Mexico so it will be cheap and easy for their friends and family to come and visit them – thus boosting the local economy. Thank you.
I remember that man

I remember that man, So tall, So dark Who approached me as I played in the park He stood before me and looked around But for miles there was no one to be found. He bent down and took my hand And picked me up and off we ran He put me into his car And drived away to somewhere far When we got out I was miles from home But I didn"t worry, I wasn"t alone I had this talk, And scary guy Who was now unzippping his fly. He pulled his trouser down a bit So I could see his giant di ck I looked at it, Then up at him And gave him my biggest grin I was only six, I didn"t know He would put it in my down-below But still I loved it, It is still fun And who doesnt love eating cu m? He pulled up his trousers and I have him a frown But then he walked over and pulled off my gown. There I was, Standing in my pants I guess i was his only chance He throw me onto his double bed And then he climbed on and moved his head He licked and sucked my baby bre asts Then lifted his head up, Out of breath He kissed me and finge red me And soon after he made love to me He sat me on the end of the bed And told me to move apart my legs He pulled down his trousers and I reached for his d ick And he looked at my pus sy, And gave it a lick He put his wil ly inside me And I cried and cried and cried But still I loved the feeling That came from the inside
Korean parents should stop giving stress to Korean students about studying

"The world is for the survival of the fittest." By encouraging their children to study hard the parents are only preparing them for the real world where the competition is very high. So the suicide rates aren't not be because of the pressure the students are getting from their parents but because of the competition they are forced to face. According to the wikipedia article on suicide rates, "Of the 29,501 suicides in South Korea between 2009 and 2010, the causes were: psychological despair 28.8% (8,489 cases), physical pain 22.6% (6,672), economic difficulties 15.9% (4,690), and family problems 11.4% (3,363)." If a person has internal issues of psychological despair no matter what external factors surround the person, he will still eventually suicide. The problem is not the stress, studies and students or parents. It's the competition, personal internal psychological challenges the person has, and the way he percieves the work he is given that affects him.
Korean parents should stop giving stress to Korean students about studying

I understand how that could be very stressful, but the students will achieve a lot in life. School teaches us to be responsible, hardworking, etc. By setting goals for themselves and achieving them, the students learn not only the subjects they are taught at school but imnportant life lessons that will help them later on in life. I think often the pressure level for high school students, especially (and very often) asian students is very high but it is beneficial for them in many ways. The bottom line is that the parents want the best for their children but often overdo it by pressuring them and giving them too much work. That is understandable but children that have that problem can talk to their parents and reach a solution together. But the hard work they are given is for their own good and should not be reduced.
Korean parents should stop giving stress to Korean students about studying

I am a korean student who gets extreme stress from studying just because I was born in Korean and I have korean parents. Wherever I go, adults tell me to study hard and they tell me that if I dont study hard then I will not be able to go to a really good college and I will mess up my whole life. This is the actual reality of Korea's some kind of addiction to education. Globally, there are places besides Korea where people think education as a very important thing. I know that education is a very important element of people's lives but Korea's education system is abnormal. And why are adults in Korea so impatient? They panick so much. If education becomes just a period of torture, what student would actually learn something. Studying is not everything in a person's life. Yes, we use what we learned[our developed knowledge about the world] when we become adults and live in this world. But education does not have to be so strongly insisted to students. I went to this academy when I was young. Their was this youn girl who went to the same academy as me. She was in 1st grade then. I heard from her that she goes to the academy in the morning everyday before she goes to school. And she wakes at like 5 every day. Are you serious? Do you think that this is right? A first grader who just started learning goes to a academy before she goes to school and she wakes at like 5 A.M. How is she even going to grow? Isn't it common sense that health and body condition are WAY more important than education? Even in advertisments, Koreas addiction to education shows. Their is this advertisment about soy-milk for babies. The advertisement says that if your kid drinks this soy-milk then they will be the most smartest of babies. And 3 babies come out and do this block-building contest. The baby that drinked the soymilk won the contest. So wrong.
That people should allowed to have tattoos (visible) in the workplace

Through your arguments, I am assuming you are stating that all forms of tattoos should be visible period. I am assuming this because of the statistics that you gave and how you stated that it's insulting for people who have tattoos to cover up their identity. I hope that you realize tattoos aren't banned in every workforce. For example, anything that doesn't require human interactions allow tattoos in their workplace assuming it goes with the work culture. i.e. laid back environment. Even social jobs such as bartending (on certain occasions) allow one to express their identity. The reason why the workforce tends to lean onto hiding tattoos because it prevents a lot more conflicts than allowing tattoos in the workforce. Specifically, by hiding your tattoos it seems more professional and it guarantees that it wont offend anyone who sees another person's tattoo. Even though it is your right to express yourself, your rights are limited for the job you take. It was YOUR decision to apply for a certain job. It was YOUR choice to accept the legal and cultural terms of the company. If you don't accept those terms, you dont have to work there. But when you do accept a job, the company assumes that you understand their policies. This isn't just a restriction placed on tattoos. There are many jobs that require one to adapt to company policies. For research, you get paid based on a set time. i.e. for 40 hours or 20 hours for part time. Whether you work 2 hours a week or 60 hours a week. You get paid for the same amount of time that you agreed on with your contract.
That people should allowed to have tattoos (visible) in the workplace

I would argue that tattoos are as much a part of a person's identity as eye color, if not more so. Most people who have spent the money (and time) in tattoo parlors have done so because their body art means something to them, and the ones that do not want to hide their tattoos. Here are some tattoo statistics as provided by statisticbrain.com 45 Million Americans have at least one tattoo 17% of those people regret their tattoo(s) and 43% of those believe that personal meaning is the most important factor when getting a tattoo. It is insulting to tell those 45 million Americans to hide their identity simply because of a common stereotype. Also, if a person were to be fired for their tattoo being visible, the Equal Employment Opportunity Act does not protect them. The exception to these is tattoos that cannot be covered due to religious beliefs, but that is because of religion. As a tattooed individual, the stigma against tattoos is simply ridiculous. I am tattooed on both of my wrists, and I am not a delinquent, I am not a rebel, and I do no consider myself above the law. However, I do believe I should not have to cover my tattoos in my workplace. Tattooed people deserve a chance.
The Bible Contains No Genuine Contradictions of Consequence

Review of contradictions1. Does G-d require a sacrifice? -DROPPED2. (To replace 1) Can animal sacrifices take away sins? (My opponent allows me to elaborate on this one in this round; thanks! )-In play3. Is death final? -dropped4. Can someone die for the sins of another? -In playNow that I got this out of the way, I will be glad to refute some of your arguments. Can animal sacrifice take away sins? My opponent made the exception and allows me to elaborate. The contradiction arises when Hebrews says the following: Indeed, under the law almost everything is purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins. –Hebrews 9:22And all its fat he shall remove as the fat of the lamb is removed from the sacrifice of peace offerings, and the priest shall burn it on the altar, on top of the Lord’s food offerings. And the priest shall make atonement for him for the sin which he has committed, and . .. -Lev 4:35Then he shall offer the second for a burnt offering according to the rule. And the priest shall make atonement for him for the sin that he has committed, and he shall be forgiven. -Lev 5:10You see, sacrifices were a means of forgiveness--but not the only way. They were more than just a representation of Christ (sense I know that is what you'll argue), but rather it was a way to atone for sin. Why don't we do sacrifices today? Because the temple does not exist. Okay, I dropped two contradictions and will rebute number 4My opponent contends that there is a substitution on the cross and it is not forbidden because of that. However, you must understand that G-d is just. Remember, Moses wanted to make a similar substitution; but G-d wouldn't allow that because everyone was to be punished for their own sins. Thank you and good luck.
The Bible Contains No Genuine Contradictions of Consequence

I am glad to be debating with ReformedArsenal. I saw his other debates on the same subject and am glad to have the Old Testament (OT hereafter) for my arsenal. I shall point out that my sources will be made into a tinyurl. I have a few new rules to add. 1) Do not go beyond what is written. I have applied all these things to myself and Apollos for your benefit, brothers that you may learn by us not to go beyond what is written that none of you may be puffed up in favour of one against another. 1 Corinthians 4:6 http://tinyurl.com... 2) Do not add anything to the scriptures Every word of G-d proves true; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him. Do not add to his words, lest he rebuke you and you be found a liar. –Proverbs 30:5-6 http://tinyurl.com... With those rules added, let’s start finding contradictions! Contradiction 1: Does atonement require a sacrifice? A. No! In fact, G-d doesn’t even want your sacrifice! In sacrifice and offerings You have not delighted, but you have given me an open ear. Burnt offerings and sin offerings You have not required.—Psalm 40:6 B. Yes! In fact, without sacrifice you can’t be forgiven! Indeed, under the law almost everything is purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins. –Hebrews 9:22 There is a clear contradiction between those passages. Contradiction 2: Is death final? A. No; death is not final. Reincarnation is possible. It’s riddle time! What comes out of the mother’s womb and returns? Reincarnation, of course! And he said, “Naked I came from my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return. The LORD gave, and the LORD has taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD.”—Job 1:21 http://esvonline.org... B. Yes; death is FINAL! …And as it is appointed once for man to die, and after that comes judgment…--Hebrews 9:27 Contradiction 3: Can someone die for the sins of another? A. Yes While we were still weak, at the time Christ died for the ungodly. For one will scarcely die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die—but G-d shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of G-d. B. No Fathers shall not be put to death because of their children, nor shall children be put to death because of their fathers. Each one shall be put to death for his own sin.—Deuteronomy 24:16 The chapter of Ezekiel 18 is all about this principle and how it is impossible. http://www.esvbible.org... ==Conclusion== I have shown incidences where the Bible contradicts itself on the most basic principles. I understand I am allowed 5 contradictions, but since this requires deep theology; I will stop here. However, I reserve the right to add new contradictions in the next round that I did not get to in this round. Thanks, I am looking forward to your response!

scientifically inexplicable, apparently supernatural things occur, but not to atheists

scientifically inexplicable, apparently supernatural things occur, but not to atheists. these are apparent miracles. please show something that happened to an atheist, that would have been called an apparent miracle had it happened to a religous person, because of its scientifically inexplicable nature. no semantics pleas what are thought of as miraculous events are heavily documented and readily available. there are tons of examples for theists, in previous debates i shown them. most credible people dont dispute hat things appear to be miracles, just that they claim there's alterative explanations. im not going to do a bunch of work to find them when it's readily available. . someone can see with no retinas even though this seems scientifically impossible etc, just to use an example. here here's another http://usatoday30.usatoday.com... the common objection of atheists and skeptics is that things just happen to occur by probability, that a genetic deviance, or random chance etc has caused it to happen to them. (that's how evolusion occurs, someone with a genetic deviance getting their genes prominent in the population) but I don't see these things happening to atheists. I see plenty of evidence from chrisitans and to a lesser extent other religious folks. but I don't see it from atheists etc, why is that? they might claim that it's just not as newsworthy or interpreted that way given the lack of religious context etc. but you'd think there's at least be noteworthy evidence, or something, at least, that shows it happens to atheists etc also, even if i acknowledged that they may occur, it would be extremely very small percentage wise. as of now i'd be happy with just couple or a few examples. ive shown some examples happening to theists, it shouldnt be hard to find some happening to atheists.
scientifically inexplicable, apparently supernatural things occur, but not to atheists

i've seen plenty of other people who define things that con has the burden of proof, pro only does by default if nothing else is defined otherwise. i'm not in the mood to find more examples, but again there are hundreds of thousands if not millions of examples. i will eventually find more just cause everyone keeps harping on it. again though, credible people don't dispute that these things apparently occur, they just have their own explanation for it. the bottomline is that con as w all past debaters, doesn't have any examples that would be called a miracle had it happened to a theist. to be more generic, he can't even find soemthing scientifically ienxplicable that appears supernatural. no one credible thinks warm fuzzies are miracles, that merely unlikely things are miracles, or just that things went in you favor etc .... these are scientifially explicable. con is just wasting time, bickering about trivial stuff, engaging in semantics etc...., as he doesn't have the evidence requested. that's the bottom line
scientifically inexplicable, apparently supernatural things occur, but not to atheists

"what are thought of as miraculous events are heavily documented and readily available. there are tons of examples for theists, in previous debates i shown them. most credible people dont dispute hat things appear to be miracles, just that they claim there's alterative explanations. im not going to do a bunch of work to find them when it's readily available. . someone can see with no retinas even though this seems scientifically impossible etc, just to use an example. here here's another (citation above) the common objection of atheists and skeptics is that things just happen to occur by probability, that a genetic deviance, or random chance etc has caused it to happen to them. (that's how evolusion occurs, someone with a genetic deviance getting their genes prominent in the population)" You assert that miracles happen, and that Atheists dismiss them as "mere probability". That does not change that until you demonstrate that the miracles you claim are genuine, and not fabrications, parlor tricks, or delusions, you still have all of your work ahead of you. As many people have reminded you in past debates, pro always has the BOP. "bottomline, please show an apparent miracle that happened to an atheist. something that probably would have been called a miracle had it happened to a theist." A) "Miracle" is different than "scientifically inexplicable, apparently supernatural thing". Miracle implies divine intervention, whereas there are things that science cannot fully explain that one could assume to be supernatural (such as gravity, time, and black holes). To some people, these things would appear to be be supernatural. Gravity and time most certainly affect atheists. B) Atheistic Communists can claim that the success of the Communist Party was due to the will of the people. Religious Communists can claim it was due to divine intervention. The same goes for the success or failure of any other nation. C) The success of Israel in the various wars it has had with the Arabs is often attributed to the blessing of god by the Jews, and the intervention of Satan by the Muslims. An atheist might observe that no divine miracle had occurred, and state that instead of a miracle, Israel's war victories were a result of tactics, planning, skill, resources, a/the lack of the previous factors, and other circumstantial factors. D) If Salman Rushdie was a more religious sort, he might claim that divine protection had saved him from the wrath of Ayatollah Khomeini. Anyone can claim a miracle. You have to successfully demonstrate that any have occurred. You also have yet to demonstrate that "scientifically inexplicable, apparently supernatural things occur, but not to atheists", as both gravity and time fit that definition (at least to some people), and both of those most certainly affect atheists.
