The economics system is not biased against poor people.

According to the Brookings Institute the three things poor teens need to succeed in life are number one get job number two get through high school and finally don't marry too early. Once people follow these simple rules they have only a 2% chance of being poor and a 25% chance of not making over 55,000 dollars. Sources: https://www.brookings.edu... Happy debating! (P.S No ad hominems)
The economics system is not biased against poor people.

Let's go over this. First, getting a job- most job options are either minimum wage- which is an unlivable amount. And in order to get a livable job, one must drown in debt if they're capable of acquiring a loan at all. This system keeps poor people below the poverty line, in and out of jail and constantly in debt. As for high school, many under the poverty line has no choice but to drop out to support their family. The same goes for marriage- it can be a lifesaver financially. Not to mention, people with disabilities, mental health issues, etc. are treated terribly in the workforce. Our economy is corrupt, run by trickle down economics and wealthy lobbyists. This system has repeated been found ineffective (Chicago Tribune) and pointless. It's designed to make the rich richer and the poor stay on food stamps. According to The Nation, "Nineteen of every 20 dollars of new wealth created goes to the top 1 percent."and "The top 1 percent has more wealth than the bottom 90 percent." That's an insanely corrupt system. Furthermore the average US household with credit card debt owes more than $16,000 to credit card companies. These policies are putting exponential pressure on families for their own greed.
Israel should be punished

It's not true to say that Israeli actions are mostly in self-defence. Firstly, Most of the time that Israeli falsely screams "self-defence" after it guns down 50 kids, It has actually provoked the incident itself. Palestinians are always blamed for starting conflict but the reality is that the conflict "started" by them is actually a reaction to Israeli abuses. For example, Would the recent protests at the border in the Gaza strip have happened had Israel not enforced a decade long blockade of Gaza? These events are the direct fault of Israel's mistreatment of Palestinians which then lead to protests which are then used to smear Palestinians for starting conflict. Secondly, Even if Israel reacted in self-defence that still doesn't justify what it does. For instance, You wouldn't kill someone for calling you a rude name. And that is a fair comparison of what Israel does. Their response is brutally disproportionate. For example, In the 2009 Gaza clashes, 1034 Palestinians were killed in drone strikes including 314 children in response to 9 Israeli casualties. Israel is guilty of disproportionate response in the cases of supposed "self-defence" which is often not the case. Therefore, Israel should still be held accountable for its actions.
Israel should be punished

Let's be clear. Israel has the right to exist. I am not a Hamas sympathiser and I believe in Israel's right to be a safe, Secure nation state free from attacks from hostile factions. However, Palestine also has the same rights. In fact, Palestine has equal rights as a nation state as Israel. UN agreements recognise the Palestinian area as consisting of both a Jewish Israeli state and an Arab Palestinian state. "The United Nations Partition Plan for Palestine was a proposal by the United Nations, Which recommended a partition of Mandatory Palestine at the end of the British Mandate. On 29 November 1947, The UN General Assembly adopted the Plan as Resolution 181" However, We now live in a time where the rights of one country are respected but the rights of another are not. Israel has violated international agreements more times than we can count. It imposes an effective apartheid system upon the Palestinian people. It regularly commits acts of mass murder against Palestinian civilians in disproportionate responses to much more minor Palestinian infringements. Fundamentally, It abuses the state and the people of Palestine. This is unacceptable. As free and democratic countries, The West has a duty to stand up for the right of all people to self-determination, Democracy and freedom. We stood up to Saddam Hussein when he invaded and occupied Kuwait, And yet, When Israel invades and continues to occupy Palestinian territory we stand aside and don't act. We need to send a clear message to the whole world that we do not tolerate the violation of international law and the violation of human rights. Sanctions are a way of doing this. This does not have to be either immediate or radical. We can condemn and warn Israel of our discontent with their actions. We can condemn Israeli actions in the UN. We can end the sale of military equipment to Israel. We can withdraw military support. There are many options that a pragmatic government can make use of to direct a fair and appropriate response. Human rights watch sheds light on these specific abuses: https://www. Hrw. Org/world-report/2018/country-chapters/israel/palestine I believe that these abuses are egregious enough to merit a measured response from the governments of the west. We need to stand up for the human rights of all oppressed people around the world. This is why sanctions are the right course of action to stand up to the abuse of Palestinians by Israel. Israel has the right to exist but not to infringe upon the rights of others to do the same.
Israel should be punished

Israel has been attacked once by Palestinian forces since its inception. That was in 1947. In the other cases such as the six day war and the Yom Kippur war they were attacked by foreign Arab countries. Furthermore, Israel was attacked by Palestinian forces because Israel stole Palestinian land. How would you like it if millions of migrants entered your country, Forced you off your land and then complained when you struck back? Israel was attacked by Palestine because it destroyed Palestine and threw Palestinians off their land. Palestinians did not "start it all" Israel "started it all" by effectively invading Palestine in the first place. Once again, You are not seeing the nuance in this debate. Even if Israel is provoked that still does not justify Israel's response. As I said, Israeli responses are brutal and disproportionate and therefore are not justifies by the small provocation from Palestinians. Why does a car bomb in Jerusalem mean Israel has to bomb a hospital. Furthermore, Just claiming "accident" is not good enough. All sorts of people have accidents but that doesn't mean that they claim no responsibility for them. Manslaughter is officially when someone is reckless and an accident happens leaving someone dead. But we still send people to prison for manslaughter. Also, A lot of the time it's not an accident. In the recent shootings at the Gaza border are you seriously saying that all the weaponless children which were shot dead by Israeli soldiers were just accidents? Or did the soldiers know they were children but fired anyway because Palestinians are dehumanised and treated as second-class citizens in Israel? I don't find it convincing that all these cases of human rights abuses and war crimes are just accidents. Finally, Someone in the comments mentioned that Israelis were once refugees and therefore Palestinians don't have more rights than them. I'm not saying that Palestinians should have more rights. I'm saying they don't have the basic rights which Israelis do. Plus, No-oen is doubting the millennia of persecution, Abuse and genocide which Jews faced. But just because one group of people are persecuted that doesn't mean that they have the right to persecute another group of people. In conclusion, Israel cannot justify its disproportionate response to provocation, That in most cases, It is to blame for in the first place. Human rights do not just disappear during wars. And we should still hold Israel accountable for its actions even in the face of human conflict. I find Israel's treatment of the Palestinian people abhorrent and unacceptable. The international community needs to deal with this abuse with real consequences.
If God Exists

First of all, in the bible it states that God is a spirit. Since a spirit has no physical form, it cannot be matter, so if God were to somehow exist in light or sound. Also back to physical form, since we probably both agree that has no physical form since in the bible it literally states, “Spirit of God.” So if God has no physical form it is impossible for him to have a brain and to think, or to carry out any actions like walking or flying about. Therefore, almost everything in the Bible is impossible because God can’t do anything that he says he can. So now that I have proven, using scientific facts and reality to prove that this magical man can’t exist. I do not understand why the people of today still believe in religion. Religion was invented by primitive people 3,000 years ago to explain how the world worked, and to satisfy the human instinct to know. But now, today, we actually know. So why do we still dwell on faith to guide our lives even though the plain facts of reality show us that God does not exist. I believe that we still hide behind this curtain of faith because people won’t listen to the facts. It is like in the book 1984, the people of Oceania won’t ever listen to the facts, but will only listen to Big Brother because he tells you to. Religious people will never listen to reason because God says to put it in faith, so it is very difficult to pull religious people out of the magical world they live in, where God is their all-knowing hero that will protect them in every step in life and is their “savor.” This thought is very comforting and also adds to the difficulty of exposing religious people to truth since they will simply not listen, they are almost, brainwashed. Now that I have explained why this imaginary figure of God was created, how it is impossible for him to exist I would like to see any type of evidence that God exists since religion has none of that. Science has bones proving evolution, and evidence, because evidence is what actually proves something, not believing. “I do not want to believe, I want to know.” Carl Sagan.
There should be more Moderators on DDO

Ok, so this moderator thing is getting rediculous. Did you know, Krazzy Player has been going around the forums claiming to be a "hunter"? 0_0 This is an obvious reaction to a low number of moderators. I'm providing a short video that represents the way that Krazzy Player has been acting these past few days.I believe that he thinks he is a real life super hero. If there were enough police who had the best interest of of the town in mind, there would be no need for these clowns to go around harassing everyone with out the proper authority.Likewise, there would be no need for users to try moderating without the proper authority to do so. Conclusion Krazzy player, has overstepped his bounds as a user and been banned.An adequate number of moderator could have stopped, not only his hateful post conerning too much banning, but could also put a stop to the excessive number of spam posts concerning people leaving.It is easy to see that the posts are spam, and that they are not deleted. This either says that the moderators are not doing thier job so amazingly as we would like to believe or they just don't have the ability to moderate every little post that shows up on the site.There should be more moderators to deal with increased forum spamming.There should be more moderators to create a moderator culture and an adequate level of accountability among moderators.Thanks for moving the Debate out of the Challenge phase Krazzy.
There should be more Moderators on DDO

RebuttalsF-16 has even created a list of old mafia games that is consolidated and easy to navigate. This is off topic for the "Resolution." Any games is different from "Mod" job. Priority of "Moderators"I appreciate the ideas of my opponent but again this is off topic, even two moderators can fulfill all the priorities.The Current stand of "Moderators"All my opponent has done is presenting his opinions. DDO is running smoothly and the "Mods" are doing a pretty good job.Moderators team of 5As said earlier, the present system is running better and smoothly but I agree there are some misunderstandings here and there but the present two moderators here are doing a pretty good job.Contentions 1. The Current System is going on good.Change is only necessary when there is a serious necessity, but as the present system has no serious issues there is no need for a change as of now.2. Too many moderators If there are too many moderators are appointed then there is risk of misunderstanding. One may not agree with another and they themselves may fight.3. Problem is solved effectively As known, the present system is going on good. Any problem is solved with care and accuracy.Conclusion I'm not providing any sources as this topic is well known for users, therefore I request voters not to award source points. In addition, My opponent merely presented his opinions and has not shown effectively, Why there is need more moderators on DDO? When the present system is running smoothly it should not be disturbed which may create problems
There should be more Moderators on DDO

During a recent interview between PhiloChristos and Airmax, it was revealed that there are only two Moderators on DDO.Airmax and Ore_ele.Recent events have shown that although both moderators are generally reliable, all humans are subject to lapses of judgment.These two men control the community of DDO and it's users. They have the ability to Delete posts, Delete Debates, Delete Opinions, Delete polls, Delete Accounts, delete, delete, delete.Although thier powers are used for the general good of the community and the site, they are not necessarily all wise in thier dealings. Spam posts are rampant in the Forum Section, Spam polls are rampant in the Polls section, Spam debates are rampant in the Debate section, and Spam oppinions are rampant in the oppinions section. Although many DDO users have had thier accounts blocked over the years for spamming, there seems to be a few individuals that skate by without fear of reprisal. I believe this is largely due to friendships between the users and the moderators.But the real reason that there should be more moderators is two guys just don't have enough time to cull all of the content that is on the site. Some of the old forums should be locked, some should be deleted that aren't, and some of the stickied informational forums should have posts removed that do not attribute to the information trying to be conveyed. I will give examples and rebuttals in round 2.

This Treehouse would state: Jedism is true

Good day good sir! To start off I would note that Skooma is from the Elder Scrolls video game series; more pertinent to this debate would be a reference to Kessel or Ryloth Spice. But now to real counter-arguments: I.)Tatooine Insulting an eminent British astronomer really does nothing to disprove my point. The existence of binary systems still does not prove the existence of Tatooine. II.) Alien Life If I interpret correctly, your argument here is that since the universe is infinite, Star Wars must have happened somewhere in it? This argument is fallacious. Simply because it can be imagined, doesn't mean it exists in an infinite universe. Following this reasoning would mean that somewhere in the universe is the Flying Spaghetti Monster, a world inhabited solely by pigs, and/or a fleet of spacefaring unicorns. III.) Star Wars Tech So the existence of Star Wars is tied to the existence of its technology? Then we must obviously live in the Star Trek universe; the tricorder has just been invented. IV.) The Force This source is completely unreliable, and I suspect it to be self-written. In conclusion, you, sir, have not disproved a single argument of mine, retained your previous fallacious arguments, and have brought up new fallacious arguments. Thank you. Your turn!
This Treehouse would state: Jedism is true

I can see the nurf hurder is drinking too much Skooma. Con tries to hand wave up all the arguments away. TatoonieYeah Glucus didnt come up with them but he knew the existed. Some tea drinking star gazer may have thought of them, but noone thought they were real. Everyone laughed at the red coat scientist and called him names because everyone thought he was a stupid.Alien lifeThis shows the plasuability of star wars. Since the univese is big, there is a big chance that star wars happened. Simple simple simple. Also there are fish in star wars, but LOL we already know fish exist. My commander kills them all the time.Its like this. If we had a random numver generator that generoted any number from 1-99999999, one day we will get the number 420 . Cuz we keep pressig the generator, well get that 420 one day. Because the universe is big, it's big that star wars happened. If the universe is infinite, then we know star wars happened. Guess what? Evidence shows the universe is infinitehttp://io9.com... QED Star wars happened.Lightsabers, Levitation Technology, and Holo-CommunicationThis argument misunderstands the modal operator HJS[] <> W. Where W is some possible world where star wars is false. When we see W we notice a lack of tech. If W <> then Tech [] F. This is stating when there is a world where star wars is made up, then the tech is not possible. We see the tech is possible and exists, then W does not hold, meaning because there is SW tech then it follows []J or neccecarily jedism is true.The Forceyou have no proof of this. Star wars is a guide not everything in the moveis is 100% true, but its an accurte representation or the most accurate. The concensus is the force is a bioelectric force. Take note below The Force is actually bioelectric energy. It was created by God and exists in everything, but it should never be confused with God. The Force serves the purposes of God. Source http://www.freewebs.com... In short, my arguments are winner.
This Treehouse would state: Jedism is true

Good day good readers and opponent! I would like to take the opportunity to counter a couple of my opponent's points: I.) Tatooine's Twin Suns While it is true that Binary Star Systems ("two-sunned systems") exist in real life, their existence was not first postulated (or "remembered") by George Lucas (Glucus?). In fact they were first imagined by British astronomer Sir William Herschel in 1802, a full 175 years before the debut of Star Wars. II.) Alien Life Even if we do take the probability of extraterrestrial life existing into account, this is completely irrelevant to the topic of Star Wars having actually taken place. There are fish in Star Wars; the fact that fish exist does not contribute to the probability of Star Wars existing either. III.) Lightsabers, Levitation Technology, and Holo-Communication Like the aforementioned aliens, the existence of these technologies is completely irrelevant to the probability of Star Wars existing. In fact, it further challenges it. If Star Wars did indeed take place "a long time ago" why have humans only recently discovered this technology on Earth? IV.) The Force Despite my opponent's claim, the Force as depicted in Star Wars has no existing counterpart. The Force in Star Wars is portrayed as a power available to a select few that can actively disrupt the laws of nature and even return consciousnesses from death. This is completely contrary to any scientific force known to humans. It is definitely not "bio electric force." In short, Star Wars as a real historical event is not simply unlikely, it is impossible and contrary to modern science and logic. Thank you. Your turn good sir!
This Treehouse would state: Jedism is true

Everyone thought star wars was a fake. But Glucus was a prophet and created star wars as God instructed him too. There is some evidence from the films. For one, the physics of star wars is highly accurate.Tatooine's twin sunsEverybody thought twin star systems were bullsh1t. Everyone laughed at ole lucus for his stupid idea. Here is a photo from the movie With recent evidence, we know this is likely and common.http://www.space.com... Instestingly enough, it is likely common. This means some time, life should evolve around a twin star system. No way for lucus to have known this. If fact evidence has shown Kepler 16B is a twin star systemhttp://en.wikipedia.org... Likeliness of Aleien lifeAlien life is very likely. There are so many planets out there. It is high unlikely that there aren't aliens out there. It has happened on earth and with sooo much time that has been elasped, it is very very probable that some other alien life has evolved, and that some of them have engaged in space travel (after all we did). LightsabersThe technology in star wars can happen and has hapened. For example its relly possible to create a light saber, they really have http://newsfeed.time.com... Levitation techLevitation tech is also possible via the use of room tempurture super conductershttp://en.wikipedia.org... CommuncationHolographic communcation is also possible and has happened. As star wars predicted. And communcation can easily become FTL via quantum entanglement.http://www.dailymail.co.uk... How can star wars have known these are possible in the real world. No body thought these were possible and everybody laughed. Whoooo's laughing noooow?The ForceWe know there is a force, electircity can move objects already. we also know the body has an electic charge. http://health.howstuffworks.com... Thats what the force is a bio electric force. We already know it exists. We have amny many reports of telekinesis and we see many religions center around things that can be explaned by the force. http://en.wikipedia.org... Example, Jesus used the force healing to heal the sick.We cannot discredit these claims because at least one must be correct. A force is a likely explanation.When we get down to it we see the force explains many things and star wars was right.
Nuclear energy and fossil fuels are superior to renewable energies.

Renewable energy resources can produce more energy than fossil fuels and nuclear power since the process is continually replenished and is therefore recyclable.(1) There is plenty of space for hydro power, wind power, solar power, and geothermal power on our governments thousands of acres of unused land and and in our oceans. Also the energy that comes as a product is known as clean, compared to Fossil fuels and nuclear energy.(2) 1) http://nationalatlas.gov... 2) http://energy.gov...
Nuclear energy and fossil fuels are superior to renewable energies.

Renewable energies do not produce nearly enough energy to support the United States. 91 percent of the United States is powered by fossil fuels and nuclear energy, while only 9 percent is renewable enrgies(1). Nuclear energy save s space in the long run. A 200 acre 1,000 megawatt plant is the equivalent to a 260,000 acre wind turbine farm(2).
