Best Super Power

Thank you for your speedy reply, kyro90. 1. Lost car keys? No problem! First of all, the chances that your car keys have been destroyed or that they are so far away that you cannot get them is extremely slim and does not even remotely make sense. It is more probable than not that your car keys will be within your house, at your friends house, or somewhere that you have once been. If they do happen to be destroyed for some strange reason, then your powers will not work, because these keys of yours no longer exist. This actually works in my favor, since you can use your powers to determine if certain things exist or not (i.e. where is heaven, where is hell, etc.). If they do exist, then you will know where they are. If they do not exist, then nothing will happen and your powers will not work; thus, you will know if they exist or not. You will have solved one of the greatest mysteries that have been troubling mankind for many years. (This should be regarded as an argument.) Anyways, if they are too far away to obtain then that means it would have to be in a completely different state, country, or continent. Why in the world would your car keys be in a completely different country? If they are, then at least you know where they ended up. Then my opponent claims that there is a possibility that you could detect the wrong car keys. He is essentially saying there is a possibility that your powers will not work. We are assuming that both powers (for the purposes of this debate) will work. Otherwise, I could just as easily say that his power will not work (without any evidence whatsoever, like he did to mine) and say that part of his body would not become invisible. Remember, it does not matter how many car keys, contact lenses, or glasses there are in the area. If you want to find your car keys, then you will find them. You did not want to find just a pair of car keys; you wanted to find your car keys. Since there is only one pair of car keys that belongs to you, then you will know where they are. (If you own multiple car keys, then you will know where they all are.) 2. Criminals on the loose! Even if you could not detect people, you could still find their hideouts or headquarters. Where they hide away is not a person; thus, you will be able to find this hideout, which in turn lets you find the criminals. Furthermore, you will be able to find evidence that police will not have been able to find (i.e. you could find a tiny fingerprint, bullet casing, gun, etc.). Let us not forget that you could find the trail, path, or road that the criminals have followed, which would ultimately lead to them. Alternatively, you could find whatever the criminals have stole (since whatever they stole is likely to be an object). 3. Serve your country.Again, my opponent attempts to claim that my powers would have failed. We are assuming that our powers will be working fine (for the purposes of the debate). Otherwise, I can claim just as easily that my opponent’s powers will not work. Moreover, you wanted to find any bombs, in the area, did you not? It does not matter if there are a million alarm clocks beneath you; you will still be able to know where the bombs and/or landmines in the area are (because you asked for bombs and landmines, not alarm clocks). 4. Don’t fail that test! As a result of procrastination, I have forgotten that we are not allowed to use our powers to make additional powers, and I apologize. I will drop this argument, and instead rephrase it so that it does not violate any rules. Rephrased Argument- Don’t you hate it when you have to search up a plethora of words in the dictionary? Instead of needlessly wasting your time flipping page after page, you can just turn to the correct page and get the definition you are looking for right away. Likewise, when you are researching for your job, homework, or debate on the Internet, you can go immediately to the correct website that has all the information you need. This is so much easier than reading through many, many of websites, only to find that they have no value to you. Con’s Arguments- Instead of addressing my opponent’s arguments directly, I will simply point out that several common, recurring problems occur in all of them. A) You cannot make your clothes invisible; thus, you will be forced to be stripped of your clothes on each mission. B) You cannot make your weapon and/or spy equipment invisible either. I am not entirely sure how you will hide a sniper rifle that is floating in mid-air. C) When you are invisible, you are blind. See, light reflects off your eyes so that you can see, and since no light reflects off of you when you are invisible (otherwise people would see you), you will not be able to see. This makes it extremely difficult to kill any enemies or discover who you are spying on (since you will not be able to see their faces).D) In present times, security systems not only comprise of cameras, but also heat detectors, motion detectors, traps, and more. Becoming invisible does not stop these defense systems from detecting and harming you; thus, it is unlikely that one will have the skill to kill or spy on someone without getting caught or killed. The last problem occurs in your last argument only. Your power was the ability to turn invisible, not the ability to turn time backwards; therefore, your last argument is invalid. Additional Arguments- 1. You will be able to determine if certain things exist or not. I had already mentioned this before, but I thought it would be beneficial to make this an “official” argument. For example, you could determine if heaven or hell exists or not. If your powers do not work and nothing happens, then it is evident that they do not exist. If they do exist, then you will be able to know “where” they are “placed”. (This also means that you will be able to understand heaven and hell, since many religions do not consider them actual, physical “places”. In other words, you will know how they exist as well as “where” they exist.)
