Staring down the bullet, Ted drew his compact revolver, and fired at Buon, knocking the gun out of his hand. He quickly fired a round into the man's left leg. Ted quickly ran over, picked up Buon's sawed off shotgun, as well as his Glock 18, grabbed his bag, and ran out of the safehouse. While Buon had been shot before, he had no idea that Ted had his revolvers loaded with .38 Devastator rounds (rounds that explode when they hit something solid, like a bone.), and thus he was seriously wounded. While Buon struggled to remain conscious from blood loss and pain, Ted was running down the street. He was running to Pine, which was about 15 miles away. 15 miles of untamed woods, 15 miles of danger. Once he got to Pine, however, he would be safe for a good year, as he could stay with his friend, "The Serpent". The two were at one point partners. But after a shotgun to Ted's leg killed his career, he retired and moved to a house in Topeka. But now, he was back where it had all started. A member of a biker gamg tried to steal Ted's bag of guns, which now contained the two revolvers, the sawed off shotgun, the Glock 18, and an AK pistol Ted found under the bed of the Payson safehouse. Ted grabbed the revolver that he had used to injure Buon, and fired it at the biker's leg. Ted quickly grabbed the motorcycle and rode to Pine. When he was a 1/9 mile from town, he ditched the bike and took the Rossi Ranchhand inthe side saddle. Ted quickly went to The Serpent's house. When he knocked on the door, The Serpent after a brief reunion, let Ted get the couch. The Serpent decided to add to the already large bag of guns with an AR-15 he had stolen from a cop two years ago. The Serpent and Ted made a blood pact to never tell anyone where the other was, as The Serpent himself was in trouble with the New Mexican law. Ted slept like the dead for 28 hours after. Your Turn.

Unfortunately, in the rush of the day's events, Ted forgot something, something important. He forgot why the people wanted to kill him in the first place. About an hour into Ted's nap, there was a knock on the door. He heard it, but he thought he dreamed it. A few seconds later a loud POP, spread through the safe house forcing Ted awake. When he regained his orientation, he saw the gang member he met who gave him the gun spread limp on the floor with a gaping hole in his forehead, of which a significant amount of crimson red blood was oozing onto the obviously expensive hardwood floors. He his gaze began to rise and he saw dress shoes, black silk pants, an Italian blazer, a red tie, and then, a face. Not just any face though. A very terrifying face. Not terrifying because of how it looked, but terrifying because of who this face belonged to. A man Ted knew. A man who Ted knew to fear, Buon Frise. Buon Frise was the brother of Antonio Frise, a French drug lord and sex trafficker who came to America for new business, the last man Ted killed before he retired. Ted had only seen Buon once before, crying over his brothers corpse after Ted shot him. Ted did not kill him, for a reason not even Ted himself knew. Rumor had it however, that Buon took over as the head of the criminal organization in America after his brother's death. Now, Buon stood in the doorway of Ted's safehouse in Payson Arizona, gun leveled, with the ominous glare of a man with vengeance in his heart.

Right about then, he learned that the feds had completely blocked off access to Nashville. So he began his long drive to Payson, AZ. There, he got pulled over. He shot the cop, but driving away he knew he had to ditch his bag of guns, so he dumped the 3 guns in a mineshaft and filled it in. He got to Payson, where he met up with a member of the gang he was once a hitman for. The gangster provided him with two compact handguns. He then ran to his safehouse behind the Basha's. He finally got some sleep after 28 hours without it. Your turn.

Ted won the gun fight quite quickly probably due to his experience as a hit man. However, he was in hiding from the government, and he knew the gun fight would bring the government to his doorstep. Thus, Ted acquired his bag of weapons, food, clothes, and other emergency equipment that he packed incase something like this happened. He got in his F-250 truck and began the long drive from Topeka, Kansas to his safe house outside of Nashville in Tennessee.

Ted sat on his thrift store couch, watching the news, sipping on a 32oz of Monster. When there was no good news, he walked over to his rigged pay phone with a 20 foot long cord and called up his bro, Griffin. They briefly talked about meeting at the store. When he saw a gang trying to break in, he grabbed his TEC-9's out from between the couch cushions. When they opened his door, he said, "Hi, how are ya?" He opened fire. Your turn.

Given that you began the story, I will end it. The bar was packed. People were everywhere carrying on, guys hitting on girls, girls hitting on girls, a whole lot of drunk people, and even a guy standing by himself on crutches. It seemed like everyone was there. The Serpent ran into an old assignor; Vodka ran into his namesake, vodka; and Ted ran into an old girlfriend. It was a night of coincidence. Somehow or another, though, Serpent's assignor tried to kill him(his body has yet to be found), Vodka got kicked off the bar(and I do mean "off"), and Ted's girlfriend slapped him across his face(apparently saying that he did not regret cheating on her with her sister was a bad move on his part) and they all met back at a table in the corner of the bar. They were joking, they were talking trash, complaining, telling hero stories. "If I see that Buon Son of a __________, I am going to put a bullet into his right eye," Ted said probably a little too loudly, but no one seemed to care. Ironically, it was right then that a bullet pierced Ted's chest. The man with the crutches was Buon Frise, and Ted saw this just before he passed out and said as his last words, "right eye." ... It was two years later. John Hemmingsworth was in Mexico City "the pool party of the century," according to John's American friend Joe, who drank a little too much that day. John glanced up to the television screen. The radio announcer exclaimed, "breaking news." The announcer described, "Buon Frise, known drug lord, sex trafficker, and murderer , was found dead in his house in Arizona. He was clearly murdered by a man who shot him straight through his right eye." John looked away when his friend yelled, "jump in...water's great." John took off his shirt and jumped in. On John's chest, however, there was a scar. A scar that was located in a place suspiciously similar to where Ted took his bullet in that crowded bar.

The Serpent racked the slide, and he just couldn't bring himself to kill Ted. When Ted woke up, he learned that The Serpent couldn't go back to New Mexico due to the fact that he tried to assassinate the governor with a bullet made of wood. He had the governor in his sights, he was waiting for a camera flash to cover his bullet. But, his scope was off and he accidentally shot the governor's mistress. So, he ran to the Arizona border, where he exploited an old law that said that a fugitive couldn't be chased over state lines. The Serpent left to get groceries. While Ted was looking for some ammo for his AK pistol, he noticed Serpent's stack of cash. He learned about the connection between him and the French. When the Serpent got back, he wanted to know if Ted wanted to go back to work with their old buddy Vodka. Ted agreed to the job, but on the way, The Serpent told Ted that he couldn't bring himself to shoot his old partner. Ted said that he appreciated his honesty and apparently, they would never know where they were. Ted drove the 4x4 to a river, where he wrapped a wad of cash (that had a tracker in it, the only tracker) in several layers of plastic bags, and threw it in the water, and drove off. He asked Serpent if they knew where he lived. Serpent said that the last house he owned was in Cottonwood, almost 60 miles away, and that Pine wasn't even where the French would try to look for two natural born killers. Ted got in the back of the 4x4 and let Vodka drive when they were driving to the site of the job. A marijuana deal was going to go on between the Mexican gang and the Blood gang. Vodka had his M249 SAW, Serpent had his (borrowed back) AR-15, and Bender (Ted) had his AK pistol. They all took aim and killed everyone. Vodka ran over and said to Serpent, you, Bender, and I split the weed and money. Serpent said that he didn't smoke and asked what to do with it. Vodka said to sell it, give it to a stoner. Now, Vodka never really liked the French, Italians, Mexicans, or Blacks, so thus, he hated and didn't take jobs from their gangs. They all decided to stash the guns and weed in the 4x4 and went to the bar to celebrate a job well done. Your Turn.

Is Islam a religion of terrorism

Thank you for responding Surah 98:6 The way you view a certain group of people will determine what actions you use towards those individuals. If you believe the polytheists, Jews and Christians are the worst of creatures worthy of hell, then you will take some harsh actions towards these individuals. I have said that not one specific verse in the Qur'an supports terrorism but if you ask questions to see if a worldview is consistent with the acts of terrorism, like how does the holy book view the people that these terroristic acts are directed towards or does this holy book teach its followers to fight the people that terrorists are associated with fighting? The Bible verse you quoted is commits the fallacy of Tu Quo Que. Surah 9:5 You have said that the terrorists interpret Surah 9:5 wrong. You have said that this verse would apply in war time and I have showed that the terrrorists believe that they are in the context of war because of the American support for Israel. You also said that this would prove that the terrorists are not true Muslims. My question for you would be is what other criteria for being a Muslim is there besides the believing the shahada (there is no God but Allah and Muhammad is his messenger)? I agree that not every one who stands with Palestine against Israel believe that this is war time but we must agree that this would be one of the reasons for war as Osama Bin Laden would say. Surah 9:29 This would be a defense that many Muslims use against Surah 9:5. I do admit that I have not studied this in any depth but it seems that the breaking of the treaty was that a recent convert to Islam formed a group of other converts and attacked a caravan thus the first blood was shed by a Muslim. https://sunnah.com... Surah 9:111 I agree but as I said the terrorists believe that they in the context of war. The question I would have for you is is there any criteria for insulting your affiliation with Allah because the insults can be as minor as an internet troll making childish insults. Surah 48:19 I understand but if you read it in light of even the sample verses I have given to you, you will see that this could be included as supporting terroristic act. 5:51 refer back to my response on 9:29 1:2:26 I came to this question by asking would the acts that terrorists are committing be consistent with the early Muslim sources and holy book I likewise thank you for participating in this debate. I liked the thoughtful responses that you gave and the fruitful discussion. I think this is very important because there are not many who would discuss this topic but would just make blanket responses like "Islam is a religion of peace" or "Islam is a religion of terrorism" and giving no evidence for their claims. Their responses to their critic are emotional rather than logical. I hope in the future people would feel more comfortable with discussions like this.

Radiohead - No Surprises Once more, this is very personal to me. I'm one of the few people who has actually been through a major natural disaster, which caused evacuation (though it was not life-threatening). It happened last year, during the 2015 South Indian floods, causing 1.8 million people to be displaced. On 13 November, low-lying parts of the city where I live were inundated, and I live in such a "low-lying part," causing my evacuation. At that time I was able to see genuine human suffering, displacement, death, tragedy, and chaos. And, above all, fear. Fear is a powerful force that should not be underestimated in any situation. During the floods, I volunteered at an animal welfare center where I saw with my eyes the carnage the flood had on innocent animals. At this point, I was deeply emotionally disturb, a disturbance I revealed to no one. I didn't begin listening to music actively until about that time, because I realized that music could do a lot for my emotional disturbance. One of the first songs I listened to - which resulted in the emotional comfort in question - was Radiohead's "No Surprises," which is why the song is so deeply personal to me. It is an excellent song, and I hope you enjoy it. It is a song that granted me comfort in a time of sadness, and I hope it does the same to other people, because that's what music can do to you. It can relieve you, and help you. I discovered that by real experience, and many millions or even billions of people have in the past.

I do really like Con’s piece. It is one of my favorite pieces and I debated with myself whether to use that piece or the one I posted. I feel that the Piano Guys did a very good job integrating Vivaldi’s Winter with Frozen’s Let it Go making the transitions between the two pieces Anyway, moving on. This next piece is Crystallize by Lindsey Stirling. The strange thing is, I remember back in 2010 when I was just entering middle school, seeing the artist compete on America’s Got Talent. She made it through the auditions, but was voted off pretty early in the competition. The judges told her that she wouldn’t make it. However, a couple of years later, she refined her style and became a huge sensation on YouTube beginning with this piece. Seeing an artist from their humble beginnings and watch as they rise to the top, you sort of feel a more personal connection. About the piece itself. I usually do not like what dubstep has to offer. The seemingly random noises sound like cacophony to my ears. However, I give the genre credit as it can be energizing and can get you excited. This piece I feel produces a finely-tuned balance between dubstep and the beautiful sound of the violin and the energy that dubstep brings. I already planned out my music line-up since before I started this debate and to add to the weird string of coincidences between me and Con, the video was filmed in the same place as his Piano Guys piece. Well enjoy. :) Crystallize – Lindsey Stirling

The Piano Guys - Let It Go What's funny is that I had already intended to post this song. It's cool that Pro picked the same artist as I did. In any case, this is a wonderful song that is in many ways deeply personal to me. I remember watching the movie "Frozen," in early seventh grade, in school. At the same time, there was a call for participation in an elocution competition held in my school. We were only allowed to participate in one competition of that sort each year (it's a specific set of competitions held by my school). I signed up because I wanted to sign up, but my English teacher at the time told me, "I think you're better suited to debate." That single sentence of advise forever changed my life. Because of that, I signed up for the debate competition that academic year much later. I didn't make it through the preliminary round/audition. But I was determined to improve. So I joined DDO. I don't need to state the level at which DDO changed my life, drawing out new interests, teaching me to articulate a persuasive argument, and actually changing me at various levels, as a person. It changed my school life entirely, too, my interests in school. It improved my grades for the better. The next year (i.e. early this year) I was selected for the same debate competition and came out on top in the first round, though I lost in the second round. I trained myself even more. In April, there was an inter-school debate competition in which I came out as #1, over all the people who'd beaten me before. I qualified to the debate at the global level, and made it through... on the same day I listened to a variant of this song. In the global round held this year, outside of India, I won prizes... and this song played in the awards ceremony, as if a reminder of what had brought me there. This specific version, by the Piano Guys. I hope you like it.

Kung Fu Piano: Cello Ascends - The Piano GuysThis piece takes the Oogway Ascends theme from the animated movie Kung Fu Panda and combines it with Frederick Chopin's Prelude Op. 28 No. 20 in C minor while the artists themselves put in a little bit of their own music into this composition. The result I feel is a piece that is unique in its fusion of East and West and ultimately greater than the individual pieces its compsed of. As a person who grew up in a family of Chinese immigrants I feel emotionally connected to the piece. Admittedly, I was never really good at describing or expressing how I feel in real life or in writing so I can't really describe how I feel listening to this piece, but enjoy. :)

This is a "music battle," where each debater puts their selected songs or pieces of music, and the judges post RFD's on who has the the most beautiful music. There must only be one piece/song per round, and debaters are free to say a few words on why they think their song is great. Debaters are also welcome to comment on why they like/dislike their opponent's piece, or anything relating to their opponent's pieces. In each round (except this one), debaters must (1) post a link to their song, (2) name the song and its artist, and (3) if they want to, comment on the songs. Votes in this debate should not give any points to either side -- judges must only provide RFD's, without actually allotting points against "who do you think won the debate?

Paramore - The Only Exception Music is one of the best ways to remember things. As years go by, your music tastes keep changing, but if you listen to a song which you once loved, it takes you on a flashback to that moment. That reminiscence is a golden moment, a moment to treasure, especially if that period of your life was among the best you've experienced. That's what this song does for me. In my life, 2016 has probably been the most eventful year, to the extent that events that happened barely a few months ago seem like they happened years ago. In June, as I mentioned above, I went to an academic competition -- a decathlon, of sorts -- which was among the best experiences of my life. It was the same week as Brexit, and on DDO, there was vibrant discussion on the topic, an escape from the usual drama that fills the forums. This was the song I used to listen to then, and listening to it now sends a sort of flashback to one of the best weeks -- if not the best week -- of my life. It's a great song, too. This isn't "deeply personal" or anything, it's just a song to enjoy. The artists (Hayley Williams and her band, Paramore) crafted the song using a vibrant fusion of alternative rock, and soft/folk rock. I typically don't like soft or folk rock, but when it goes along with alt-rock, it really sounds amazing. The words don't have much meaning to them, but they do reflect strongly about DDO. I discovered the song on DDO, on the comments section of the debate between Bsh1 and Zarroette on same-sex marriage. I listened to it while reading about Brexit. It comforted me at the angst, the distress and fury I had in response to the ghastly shooting at Orlando. It comforted me, it nurtured me, and it continues to remind me of a week of refreshing energy, talking to people from all around the world and experiencing different cultures. All this, while doing what I like best - debate. It's a truly awesome song, and I hope all of you like it.

Great song by Con. I can definately see why such song would provide comfort in such a situation. I too can somewhat relate as I too volunteer at an animal shelter. While the situation never got near as bad as Con describes it, I too am sympathetic to the suffering of animals. My family ended up adopting two cats from the place.My final piece for this music battle:Christina Perri - A Thousand YearsDon't really have a personal story or anything to accompany it. It is just a great song. Enjoy! :);
