Unalienable Rights

Less than 250 years ago Thomas Jefferson claimed that all humans have Unalienable Rights of “Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness. ” We may consider “Happiness” as being some form of positive-feedback after an accomplished objective. Also, survival is a prerequisite for any form of positive-feedback. We may include the joy of a meal satisfying one's hunger, is a process of survival, a form of positive-feedback. In general all life, strives to survive. Therefore, once alive, all “Life” must have the freedom (“Liberty”) in “the pursuit of” survival; otherwise, there is no life. Survival is a form of positive-feedback, and for us humans, survival is a prerequisite for “Happiness. ” It would seem, unbeknownst to Jefferson, he discovered, not developed, a primeval working function found throughout all living-systems. He claimed a polished version of this primeval function, within the scope of humanity, giving it the label of Unalienable Rights in the celebrated form of, “Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness. ”Jefferson's objective was to sway opinion for independence and to upset His Royal Highness King George III with such a phrase, as it flew in the face of the prevailing political theory of the day. Also, Jefferson’s term of Unalienable Rights became the foundation to the US Constitutional design of governance, which sparked a social experiment within a short period of 200-years, changed the world like no other society in recorded history, through the fruits of technology, food production, and medicine, the stables of human existence throughout the world today. A compelling example of what happens when our Unalienable Rights are free to flow within the awesome machinery of nature. From recent research, life's primeval working function (aka Unalienable Rights) is an outgrowth of the Constructal Law, which is an outgrowth of the Second Law of Thermodynamics. Therefore, life's Unalienable Rights are part of the physical Laws of Nature, not man-made. . http://www.amazon.com...http://www.amazon.com...
The Legalization of LSD

Thank you for the debate, this was my first so you have taught me a lot. I admire my opponents skill in identifying logical fallacies, and successfully poking holes in the pitfalls of my argument. I look forward to a debate in the future, perhaps a rematch on the subject of the drug war in general or any other issue. Thanks again for the intelligent and informative response, apologies for my newbiness in formal debate. Next time I won't be such a newb ;)
C-3PO is way better than R2-D2

R2-D2 may be pretty badass, but he's also just plain bad. He is constantly insulting C-3PO, his only friend. C-3PO is way nicer, and in fact, deserves more credit than he is given for even sticking by R2. If it hadn't been for 3PO, R2 would probably have been a pile of scrap halfway through A New Hope. We cannot forget 3PO's words of advice to R2- "Let the Wookie win"- which saved R2 from having his arms ripped off by Chewbacca. It's just in his programming to be nice. When Anakin showed C-3PO to Padme for the first time in The Phantom Menace, he explained how he had built the robot to help his mom out around the house. 3PO never complained of this job and was not upset when Anakin left; he even stuck around until Shmi's death in Attack of the Clones. What a nice guy! The video you posted of hilarious R2 moments was hilarious, for sure, but 3PO has a number of hilarious moments himself. Attack of the Clones may have been 3PO at his comedic best. When he walks into the battle droid factory, he makes the side-splitting remark, "Machines making machines? How perverse!" C-3PO does not need to resort to rude, sarcastic humor like R2-D2 always does. Going further in the movie, we find C-3PO split in half, with his head on a battle droid body, and a battle droid head on his. I remember that the moment when he is made to fight in the arena and shouts "Die Jedi dogs!" and is instantly embarrassed, the whole movie theater was in an uproar. R2's jokes didn't get as much of a laugh because we all expected R2 to do something silly. When 3PO does something funny, we are taken by surprise, and the experience is that much more enjoyable since it is not overdone. Besides, you can't even understand what R2 is saying. No one can except 3PO. The best he can do is make a fart noise, which is quite rude. C-3PO has a better, refined sense of humor. Now, this isn't to say that C-3PO is a better droid simply because of his sense of humor. I will say, the slapstick involving R2-D2 is better suited for the character, and I can't imagine how it would be possible to involve 3PO in such situations (although it would be funny to see him spit mud out of his mouth or slam into a wall). That is R2's flaw though. He is not much more than comic relief, and in one style. C-3PO crosses boundaries and is much more multi-dimensional than his friend. In the next three arguments, I will expand more upon 3PO's superior character traits. For now, I will leave you with this hilarious C-3PO tape dispenser. http://www.smosh.com...
C-3PO is way better than R2-D2

C-3PO is a way better droid than R2-D2. R2 may have his moments, but when it comes down to it, 3PO is the golden boy. We have six Star Wars movies to use as evidence, as well as the expanded universe. I'll take arguments from both sources. Round 1 will be for introductions, and the following 4 rounds will be for argument. Time to argue is 24 hours, and max characters is 5000. Let's have some fun with this!
C-3PO is way better than R2-D2

I've really enjoyed this debate--sucks its the end. AND Thank you to my opponent for communicating with me, via message, about the round I had to skip. We came to an understanding. It was cool of him so thanks. Okay now to logistics. .. CLOSING ARGUMENT FROM PRO "He's GOLD. Literally. " He's actually not made out of gold. He only appears gold. He was made out of scrap metal from the junkyard Anakin had access to. . http://www.starwars.com... Not that that was important--just didn't wanna let it sliiiiiiide. "R2-D2 may be a badass, but he's also clearly a jerk" R2-D2 does nothing but beep away and save people. In New Hope, C-3PO said, "I don't think he likes you. .. I don't like you either. " And then R2-D2 made that tear-jerker, low-volume, low-pitch beep sound that faded into the abyss of depression. Ladies and gentlemen R2-D2 is no jerk. He is the emotional victim of a verbally abusive C-3PO. But R2-D2 keeps his head-up and saves people and C-3PO in dangerous situations anyway because he's a empathetic, gracious badass. And I've already demonstrated how C-3PO's "humor" is unrelatable. CONCEDED ARGUMENTS THAT FLOW TO CON Basically everything I said in Round 4 was conceded so lets go over that. The following was dropped and subsequently is agreed upon by both sides as a truth: 1. R2-D2 is trusted by the BEST. {Look to Round 4} 2. R2-D2 is much more effective in battle. {Look to Round 4} 3. C-3PO is oblivious. {Look to Round 4} 4. C-3PO does NOT tap into his potential (knowing languages) thus his class 3 virtues matter not. {Look to Round 4} 5. C-3PO is near the equivalent of a grandma. {Look to Round 4 and his first argument in Round 3. } 6. R2-D2 is a badass. {Look to Pro's argument in round 3} 7. R2-D2 is a badass extraordinaire. {Look to Round 4} 8. "He's [C-3PO] a lazy, whining class 3" {Look to Round 4} 9. It's impossible for robots to yield the force thus the lightsaber scene is discarded. {Look to Round 4} 10. And finally, he's conceded, all throughout the debate, that R2-D2 is incredibly resourceful, a commodity, and an asset to those around him. He never tried to disprove that. SO What are we left with, based off these conceded arguments? C-3PO is a lazy, whining, oblivious, grandma-like droid. AND R2-D2 is badass extraordinaire, lethal, resourceful, trustful, effective, and strategic. RESOLUTION ANALYSIS The resolution reads, "C-3PO is way better than R2-D2. " More specifically it reads, "WAY BETTER" Based off the previously stated that: C-3PO is a lazy, whining, oblivious, grandma-like droid. R2-D2 is badass extraordinaire, lethal, resourceful, trustful, effective, and strategic. I have effectively demonstrated that the resolution is far from being determined AS THE EXACT OPPOSITE SHOWS TRUE.
C-3PO is way better than R2-D2

I suppose there isn't too much more I can say about C-3PO that I haven't already said before. R2-D2 may be a badass, but he's also clearly a jerk. C-3PO is never a jerk, and I would much rather have him for a friend, as I'm sure anyone would. C-3PO has a marvelous, dry sense of humor- way more sophisticated than his counterpart. R2 has the cheap, dime-a-dozen sense of humor that you could go see in the Three Stooges if you want. C-3PO is a kickass dude who you can only see in Star Wars. He's GOLD. Literally.

I will be arguing pro, that correct grammar and spelling make little difference to a phrase's coherency. I will take the burden of proof in this debate. Definitions: 1) Little - Small in size, amount, or degree (often used to convey an appealing diminutiveness or express an affectionate or condescending attitude). <--- in this case its definition will be that of its degree usage. 2) Meaning - What is meant by something. 3) Clarity - The quality of being clear, in particular. The quality of coherence and intelligibility.

The word middle cretaes a logical paradox

Since the middle exists in mathematics its nature is a number but which number lets say its number 3 that number is positive the middle of 3 is 1,5 that number is positive the middle of 1,5 is 0,7 this becomes infinitely small until it reaches zero but does it ever become equal to zero ?My answer is yes and then it changes is nature.Because the opposite exists is nature is double and because its nature is dounle the transition exists and because the transition exists the other two have meaning
The word middle cretaes a logical paradox

Ok I understand what you mean.You need to distinguish those things in order to keep the laws I get it now yes you must be right.Maybe mathematics is not how I should go about this do you believe that an idea that is both positive and negative at the same time can exist?I believe it can because people will give the idea its nature before an idea gets born what would be its nature ?So in that state the idea breaks all laws of logic.
The word middle cretaes a logical paradox

Thank you for clarification, I'll address each statement. "We still have not found the solution I believe" There is no solution to find because the solution does not exist. Proof: 0=a(1/2)^x log(0) = log(a)-xlog(2) x = (log(a)-log(0))/log(2) = log(a/0)/log(2), [Dividing by 0 is undefined]. "Law of Identity" I'm unsure how this is broken. 0=0. "Law of contradiction" It turns out that 0 is actually neither positive nor negative. Positive and negative are defined in relation to 0, so 0 is exempt from the definition since it is neither greater than nor less than itself. "Law of excluded middle" Again, 0 is neither positive nor negative. Although, in computer science, 0 is thought of to mean "false", if that counts.
The word middle cretaes a logical paradox

It is the case that lim{x->infinity}f(x)=0, but the equation f(x)=0 has no real solution.We still have not found the solution I believe ,thank you for bringing mathematics to this I am very bad at them.Let me try to explain it by the word middle I believe we name a few things ,but by the world middle we name the equal center we have given such special meaning to it in our everyday life there must be a reason.The world middle creates a logical paradox because it breaks all the logical laws that are set.Law of Identity two things are the same in the middle.Law of Non-Contradiction 0 can be both positive and negative. Law of Excluded Middle this law breaks too as 0 is either true or false, with a middle ground.
The word middle cretaes a logical paradox

Sorry, but I do not completely understand your argument. If you could clarify, that would be greatly appreciated. As for now, I'll refute the parts that I understand. Let's first define the function that I think you're referring to. Let f:Z->R be defined as f(x)=a(1/2)^x, for some real number a, a=\=0. "the middle of 1,5 is 0,7" Not quite true, it's actually 0.75. "this becomes infinitely small until it reaches zero but does it ever become equal to zero ?My answer is yes" This is untrue. It is the case that lim{x->infinity}f(x)=0, but the equation f(x)=0 has no real solution. I look forward to a great debate.
My pokemon team is better than yours

Regice's ability: Clear body, his last move: amnesia Volcarona's ability, Flame Body Mewtwo ability:Pressure Recover Psychic Thunderbolt Aura Sphere Also can mega evolve Cofagrigus: Abilty: Mummy Night Shade Hex Scary Face Curse Rebuttals: Drapion: If Volcarona does end up attacking first, a Fiery Dance should end that Blaziken: The Focus sash might let it survive a one hit KO, but when you send it back out, any of my pokemon would be able to KO it Vaporeon: If Gyrados and Cofagrigous were my only pokemon left, Cofagrigous's ability, mummy, wouls switch water absorb for mummy, so if Cofagrigous gets knocked out the next turn, their is a slight chance I could beat you with Gyrados, as you wouldn't have the water absorb ability anymore(FYI I switched my hydro pump with Twister) Gliscor: A Fiery DAnce or two with Volcarona should do it.
My pokemon team is better than yours

srry about not having enough facts back there, my idiot brother was using my account behind my back, anyway, Gyrados(shiny) Intimidate Hydro Pump Dive Surf, Dragon Dance Gyrados isn't the head of my team, but he's pretty bad *ss, espiecially when he mega evolves, Xerneas: Fairy Aura Misty Terrain Moonblast Nature Power Horn Leech Item: Leftovers also not my lead Regice: I never checkes Regice's ability, Brick Break Ice Beam Thunderbolt i forgot his last move, ill get back to it in next argument, Volcarona, didn't check his ability either, Hurricane Fiery Dance Fly Sky Drop Il tell you my lat two pokemon and Regice's lat move and Regice's and Volcarona's abilities next argument.
My pokemon team is better than yours

Well, considering the fact that by default, levels cap at 50 in battles, leveling is largely irrelevant. If I remember correctly, all of mine stand in the 50-70 range. Drapion: Air Balloon Battle ArmorCareful Toxic Spikes Whirlwind Knock Off Protect My lead is Drapion. Its IVs are imperfect for the time being, as there were a number of valid pokemon that I was considering for the position, and I didn't want to have to breed every single one of them. It's EV spread is: 252 HP, 126 Def, and the remainder are in Sp. Defense. It holds Air Balloon to negate the common Earthquake. The purpose of this lead is to lay two layers of Toxic Spikes, then spam Whirlwind and Knock Off to interfere with my opponents items, and possibly even remove their Mega Stone. Protect is just a placeholder move right now, as I used to run Black Sludge instead of Air Balloon, and a good alternative has yet to present itself. Blazekin: Focus Sash Speed Boost Jolly Protect Swords Dance Fire Punch Baton Pass It's an extremely steryotypical Sash/SpeedBoost/BatonPass Pokemon. It often preforms exactly as a Ninjask would, with a simple Protect, Swords Dance, Protect, Baton Pass sequence to pass x2.5 Speed and x2 attack to the next pokemon in the chain. Fire Punch is just there in case I need a fire move. It's IVs are currently imperfect, and its EVs are 252 Speed, 252 Attack, 6 HP. It wasn't going to endure any hits without the Focus Sash in the first place, so I didn't see any point in investing in defenses. I'll follow Pro's lead and continue to post two more per round, however I encourage the voters to consider this debate as a whole instead of individual rounds, because my team focuses on strategic switches between all of the Baton Passing members, rather than sets of two.
My pokemon team is better than yours

I've already listed my whole team, and no revisions have occurred since the last round, so I will proceed directly to 'rebuttals'. Mewtwo: Mewtwo has a high special attack stat, but I designed my Vaporeon just to deal with special threats. Since your Mewtwo doesn't know Psystrike, the only thing that seems like it may 2HKO Vaporeon is Thunderbolt. However, you would have to use Thunderbolt twice in a row. When Vaporeon is hit by an electric move, or blocks one with Protect, my next move is generally to Baton Pass to Gliscor, which is immune to electric. Then I rack up evasion boosts and secure the win. Cofagrigus: In the event that one of my pokemon is afflicted by Mummy, I'll just defeat your Cofagrigus, then use Baton Pass to switch it out, nullifying Mummy and restoring my old ability. Counter Rebuttals: Drapion: The point of my Drapion is to survive for two turns. That's all I need from it. I don't intend to use it at all after it is initially sent out. Also, Drapion's typing is Dark/Poison. The only weakness is Ground, which is nullified by the Air Ballon. I'm not saying that a super-effective move is a guaranteed KO, but Fiery Dance wouldn't defeat it. Drapion's pre-evolution is Bug/Poison, which may be where you got the impression that Fire would be super-effective. Blazekin: The Focus Sash will let it survive a 1HKO, and that's all it needs to do. I almost never send out Blazekin more than once, and even if I do, it has 2.5x speed and double attack, so I will outspend you and I have a fair chance at a 1HKO with STAB Fire Punch. Vaporeon: Even if it loses its ability, I can nullify this just by using Baton Pass, which every member(sans Drapion, because it's a suicide lead) of my team has. Twister has a relatively low base power, and it is a special move. I doubt it would deal greater than 25% damage that is necessary to break my stall. Vaporeon get 6.25% of life healed from Leftovers, 6.25% healed from Aqua Ring, and that doubles when used with Protect, so you have to deal more than 25% damage to beat it(and that assumes you have enough PP). Also, even assuming that for some bizarre reason I don't switch it, your Gyrados won't be able to damage it enough. If you use Dive, I'll just Protect. If you use Twister or Surf you just won't deal enough damage because of Vaporeon's tremendous special bulk. Gliscor: Gliscor is Ground/Flying, so it would resist Fiery Dance. That said, I would just switch for Vaporeon and destroy you with Scald. Mawile: Mawile is a Fairy/Steel, so it's not weak to Steel. Also, a super-effective hit does not guarantee a KO. Espeon: This is the last round. . . By the time I switch this in, I will outspeed your entire team and sweep with Stored Power. In the event that you Mega-Evolve Gyrados I'll just switch to Dazzling Gleam or Baton Pass to Vaporeon or Mawile.
There should be no such thing as school.

I suspect a troll, so this should be relatively easy to win.Rebuttal of Reason One - It is true that sometimes being told exactly what to do limits creativity. However, creativity can be expressed through many means and with many different tools. At school, you learn to use these tools. Creativity is expressed through our imaginations. By giving children tools such as reading, writing, math, science, and art, students learn how to express themselves.Rebuttal of Reasons Two and Three - Kids should not be allowed to play without any limits and rules. Rules and discipline are what keep society orderly. At school, children receive discipline and learn to be helpful members of society. School is part of what preserves the goodness of society.I believe that school is the water that helps the seeds that are the youth of today's world grow. Education is one of the most powerful things you can give to someone. Without learning about the world around them, early settlers couldn't have made progress that would eventually lead to modern technology. By teaching the youth of today about our world, we help our world to progress and get better.“There is no knowledge that is not power.” - Ralph Waldo EmersonSchool teaches us the fundamentals of life. School is necessary for us as a society.
There should be no such thing as school.

I think there should be no such thing as school. The first reason why is because we should be free to experiment and be creative instead of learning to just do this instead of being creative, then people will be inspired to add something to the world. The second reason is because if there is no school, you can be free to play with freinds and easily run from bullies. The last reason is because, lets face it, kids should be free to play without any limits and rules. Discipline can come last, it grows in your brain as you get older. When there is no school, there is enough time to experiment and be creative, and enough time to play. That way kids aren't bossed around and they can have a perfect routine. Do you agree?
protecting the 2nd Amendmant

I'm not sure the judges here will take kindly to ad hominem and it is not necessary. To regulate means to make regular or "put into good order" (1) We also see in precedent with the Commerce Clause where regulation means "to make regular" commerce among the several states. (2) I would call upon pro to actually address the argument I made in its entirety with rational response. Sources (1) http://www.thehighroad.org... (2) https://www.bu.edu...
protecting the 2nd Amendmant

"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." -Second Amendment of the US Constitution. Regulation means "To make regular" and Merriam-Webster defines militia as: a part of the organized armed forces of a country liable to call only in emergency subject to call or the whole body of able bodied male citizens subject to call to military service. I ask pro where is a individual right for guns?
protecting the 2nd Amendmant

It has been said that the Japanese were afraid to attack the mainland because of weapons concentrated in the hands of citizens. Also some private ownership of firearms for self defense can be justified but you haven't addressed this in terms of the Second Amendment. There is no language in the Second Amendment that clearly defines an individual right to have arms. Having arms for self defense may be a good idea but there is nothing to codify it as an individual right that is inalienable.
protecting the 2nd Amendmant

individual right to guns comes when people attack you or are trying to inflict harm upon you or others. Pearl harbor could of had Japanese soldiers on american soil killing civilians. I ask you if a man was attacking you're loved ones what would you do? without guns you are able to be attacked. in gun free zones people are killed and police are often too slow to help people under attack. so take a side with me and say YES to guns!
i am grim reaper

Rebuttals: = He might be a ghost = He is God = He is Angel = He is Satan = He is an alien The sentence presents by my opponent can also be those things. Requirements for my opponent to win this debate: 1.He must record a video of his own and speaking that it is him not others to claim copyright. 2. He must pass through what ever things he wishes to pass. The location is any like toilets, cupboards and so on. 3. My opponent needs to show that he can kill people. 4. He also needs to show that the death of human is in his hands. 5. He must be able to show that he can fly too. (Using his own power)
