DS's are fun on long debate trips

whe you say "Our CP is dispositional." our refers to more that one person and that is not fair i wouls like to call abuse on this issue. the same thing dos apply to DS's but compared to singing songe every one has to listen but not every one had to play the DS's. if they dont like the game then they dont have to play as to if people are singing a song they have no choise but to listen. once again to harms you say that they take over the world but you do not say how they wold do that or why it would be a bad thing. you can do polls but there is no proof that all will agree ona song. and when you say only 3 people bring DS's are you refering to a specif trip or time? is this debats refering to all debate teams? you dont even give a number for the ammount of people who bring mp3's. it is unjust to caompare all debat teams to just one randome debate team in paticular. as for slovency they gave no reason why they solve 100% I am not even sure what they are solving for but I on the other hand have 100% solvency for popularty the DS being lent out will caus a rise in popularty to the people whou you lend it out to but also to the ones who see you lending it out giving them a posivite opinion of you on to probability. they give absoluty no indication of what the probility if for. for all we know they could be talkng about landing on mars. and as for my probability my probility is 100% of increasing the fun on a debate trip. DS's are poritibly and personal so if you dont want to deal with it you dont have to but as for singing a song you will almost always have at least one person that wont like the choosen song as for him time frame IT WORKES IN MY FAVOR people have been bringing MP3 players longer so they might be getting tired of them and there fore DS's provide a great new way to have fun and increase you popularty
DS's are fun on long debate trips

Our CP is dispositional. The same thing applys to DS's. You can't be sure everyone likes the same games. I know people who HATE mario kart, but love Pokemon. This would create judgemental thoughts ALSO, because some people think certain DS games are kiddy, and will judge people. This hurts the reputation of the DS Owner My disad has harms. People buy DS's, Nintendo Gets money, they take over the world. Also, to add to my CP, we can do polls, to pick a song. There are many People with Ipods, Zunes, and other MP3 players, while only about 3 people on the team have DS's, and only ONE of them has the games to link. Solvency: Our plan solves 100%. Probability: Our probability is 100%, urs is about 50 Timeframe: People brought MP3 players BEFORE the DS rotations started
DS's are fun on long debate trips

what is the status of your counterplan? debaters might like music better but might not all like the same music and if you play a song someone dosnt like it will desreas your popularity. and just because some ds games dont link dosnt meant they all dont. for some games you only need one person with a linking catridge to link so it dose solve. you cant be sure all the people will like the same mucis creating judgemental thoughts and opinions against people who like diffrent music and all while decreasing your popularity, this can also hurt a debate team and ruin a trip. this disad is abusive you present no harms so it is irrevelent and is not really a disad
DS's are fun on long debate trips

Counterplan: People should bring Zunes, Ipods, cards, or Camera's. Debaters like music more than DS's. Also, Only certain DS games link. Some games require more than one cartridge, and don't solve. Although DS's are fun, singing songs is more fun. It lets more people communicate, and increases your popularity MORE than a DS. DS's increase nerdiness. Now, on to my Disad If too many people buy DS's, Nintendo will take over the world. They already have taken over the gaming universe.

i can confuse the most people with my argument

The Jewish nation of Israel would not exist if the holocause had not taken place. Therefore it can be said that direct benefit gained by the victims of the holocaust was having the survivors and their descendants given a country, a country with one of the most powerful armies, considering the fact that the Jews were discriminated against in Germany prior to the Holocaust with Germans going as far as blaming them for the post world war 1 concessions and the treaty of versailles which robbed Germany of its dignity as a nation. When a person dies a chemical called DMT is released which is similar to a psychedelic drug, therefore numbing the pain or atleast reducing the pain of death vastly. Jews who were killed during the Holocaust escaped the persecution they would have endured in Germany had they not died. That on its own is another benefit
i can confuse the most people with my argument

Jeez, that is a tough one. I had to think really hard for a response. Here it goes:In certain instances it is necessary to sacrifice ones life for the greater good of one's community. Ofcourse you could and probably would remind me that the Jews did not choose to be killed nor did they die in times of war. However through their death, even though it wasn't intended by the Nazi's or the Jews led to the creation of a jewish state with a G.D.P of 253 billionhttp://www.heritage.org...The Nazi's infact helped the Jews inadvertently by allowing them to be empowered with sovereignty over their own nation, something which they would not have got had they still been in Germany.Please note that the victims of the Holocaust also include descendants of people who were killed during the holocaust, descendants who possibly reside in Israel and these very same descendants benefited from over 800million paid in reparations by Germany. Had the holocaust not happened, they would not have been literally given such a relatively large sum of money.On top of this, Germany recently agreed to pay 60 000 survivors (victims of the holocaust) with over 700million Euroshttp://www.spiegel.de... Had they not experienced the holocaust, their nation Israel would probably not
i can confuse the most people with my argument

Well, I'll be very interested to see what you do with this.My argument is:The Holocaust in Europe was overall a negative* event for the people who were victims of it. While there was undoubtedly a strong unifiying effect on the victims before they were murdered, either in the camps or among escaped/liberated survivors and certainly there were positive side effects such as greater global awareness of crimes against humanity/steps taken among nations to prevent future atrocities etc., I think we can confidently assume none of the victims would ever say/have said that they were ultimately glad it happened to them, nor would most other people who don't have swastikas tattooed to their forehead.Please now attempt your "mind rape"* a : lacking positive qualities; especially : disagreeable b : marked by features of hostility, withdrawal, or pessimism that hinder or oppose constructive treatment or development <a negative outlook> <negative criticism>http://www.merriam-webster.com...
i can confuse the most people with my argument

Pick a topic, whatever topic and argue it. I'll find a way to confuse as most people and you. The rules are the argument must be somewhat intelligible, as in you aren't for example to start typing "opsd fojff", random letters, or random words and trying to string them up. Its a battle of confusing wits. Accept with an argument of whatever you please. By the way, don't make it stupid, don't make it about tv shows, music, sports or something that's so subjective there could never be a right answer. Make it about something relevant in the world. Or something cultural, historical, religious or philosophical
Is homework necessary

BOP is on pro, as he is the one making the claim. The definition of necessary is as follows nec"es"sar"y G2;nesəG6;serē/ adjective adjective: necessary 1. required to be done, achieved, or present; needed; essential. "Homework helps memory, and helps you learn." My argument against this is that busywork does not in fact, help students learn. [1] Cooper (1989a) argues that reviews on the link between homework and achievement often directly contradict one another and are so different in design that the findings of one study cannot be evaluated fairly against the findings of others. There is no proven benefit to homework and it's effect on learning. There have been studies [2] that have shown that students who do not do their homework have similar average grades than students who do. " If schools think that homework dos not help they wont do it but they bleave that is is helpful. It dus help. it helps me learn math and it helps kids be responsible. " Just because it helps you learn math, does not mean that it is necessary for every student. Plenty of students I know (including me) rarely do their homework, and still end up with high test scores on their SAT's, regular tests, and quizzes. If it was completely necessary then there would not be a single person who does not do their homework that gets good test grades. "thay ned that to get a job not being responsible gets you fired" Not sure what relevance this has to homework, but students learn responsibility in a multitude of ways, thus making homework simply an option, not a necessity.

Marijuana should be legal for recreational use

Alright, we both forfeited a round, but Con broke one of the rules so she lost the conduct point. C1-Costs The War on Drugs has cost American taxpayers billions of dollars, money which could be better spent on infastrucutre, debt repayment, etc. (1) C2-Right to Liberty In the Declaration of Independence it states that one unalienable right is the right to liberty. That means people should be free to pursue their own choices without restriction from any government or other person. For this reason, people should be allowed to smoke marijuana without fear of being punished. Realistically, many things many people do every day, such as eat fast food, are not good whatsoever, yet they have the right to do so. C3-Unviolent Crime Arresting someone for marijuana is using the law, which is meant to protect people from others, to arrest someone from making a choice which does not directly harm anyone else. R1-Health The health argument is irrelevent. Something cannot be illegal, simply because it is unhealthy. It doesn't harm anyone else, and people have the right to do what they want as long as they are not harming others. In fact, it is not even conclusive it is bad. Some studies have found marijuana does not effect teh brain. (2) 1-http://www.drugsense.org... 2-http://www.iflscience.com...
Marijuana should be legal for recreational use

Marijuana is terrible for your mental health. Marijuana may even be worse than cigarettes. At least cigarettes don't peel points off of your IQ. A recent Northwestern University study found that marijuana users have abnormal brain structure and poor memory and that chronic marijuana abuse may lead to brain changes resembling schizophrenia. The study also reported that the younger the person starts using marijuana, the worse the effects become. In its own report arguing against marijuana legalization, the American Medical Association said: "Heavy cannabis use in adolescence causes persistent impairments in neurocognitive performance and IQ, and use is associated with increased rates of anxiety, mood and psychotic thought disorders." It's not healthy.
Most important FAKE Battles in history!

Battle: The Battle Where the Black Man DiesMovie: X-Men First ClassInvolved Parties: The White Antagonist and the ONLY male Black DudeTime: I didn't watch the movie, but probably towards the beginning like where every other black man diesThe PreludeA bunch of white people and a black dude were showing off their powers. All of the white people had bad-@ss powers, the black dude was able to become a fish. Real BA mo-fucka ya'll. Then the white antagonist talks about an oncoming war where the mutants will either be ENSLAVED or will rise against humanity. Obviously the enslaved part was a reference to the black dude.The BattleThe white antagonists puts a fireball in the black dude's mouth and the black dude dies. That's it. That's the whole thing. The black dude doesn't even put up a fight. He just dies. Nothing else. The end. The brotha died.The SignificanceWe're talking about the most important movie battles here, so what is more important than building a much more utopian mindset in society itself? The significance of this battle goes beyond the limitations of the movie. X-Men First class has helped cement a racist mindset in Hollywood. I mean, think about it. The black dude's name was Darwin. This is an obvious reference to Charles Darwin and the theory of natural selection. The white antagonist (who is designed to be a boss) even said "adapt to this" when killing Darwin, again referencing that theory. This goes to show that the movie makers see the black dude as unfit to live. Racist hollywood, stop reinforcing the idea that the black dude must die first. http://tvtropes.org... I mean, come on, it's a movie trope for crying out loud.A vote for me is a vote against racism. Stop the black dude from dying first. Do the right thing DDO!

Movie: Transformers 3, Dark side of the MoonOpposing sides: Autobots (Optimus Prime) vs Deceptacons (Megatron)Year: Technically the movie came out in 2011The Battle:Autobots and Deceptacons duke it out one last time, this time for control over the human race itself. The Deceptacons are transporting Cybertron itself into Earths orbit to then use humanity as slave labor to rebuild their army and planet, and all that stands between the Deceptacons and their goal are the Autobots and a task force of specially trained humans who have worked with the Autobots on past missions. The battle goes down in Chicago and results in Megatron going rouge and fighting Sentinel Prime long enough for Optimus Prime to intervene and kill them both, losing an arm in the process. Several other transformers are killed in the battle including Laserbeak, Soundwave, Barricade, Starscream, and Shockwave, while Cybertron itself is torn apart because of the failure of the beacon midway through the teleportation. This makes Earth the new home planet for all the Autobots and now the world knows of their existence. Had the Deceptacons won?Had the Deceptacons succeeded in transporting Cybertron to Earth and defeating the Autobots, all of humanity would be reduced to slave labor for the Deceptacons to rebuild their home planet Cybertron and to rebuild their army. On top of that, Optimus Prime and all other Autobots would be killed, basic human rights would be suspended, and nobody would be able to fight them.http://www.youtube.com...http://www.youtube.com...

Battle: The Battle over Yavin 4Movie: Star Wars Episode IV: A New HopeInvolved Parties: The Rebels vs the EmpireDate: A long time agoLocation: A galaxy far, far awayThe PreludeThe Empire had a massive weapon called the Death Star. The Death Star fires lazor beams at planets. Planets go boom. Also, but this part isn't so important, the Empire was going to blow up Yavin 4 because they discovered that there was a rebel secret base there - but I'm pretty sure that had nothing to do with the battle happening. People just wanted to go pew pew.The BattleRebel fighters manning X-Wings and Y-Wings engaged the TIE fighter's in Darth Vader's squadron while trying to destroy the Death Star. Lots of pew pew happened and rebels dropped like flies. Luke Skywalker, being the boss that he is, managed to get up close to the Death Star without dying to all of the pew pew lazors flying around and blew it up. He then got out alive, even though Darth Vader was trying to kill him. It is important to note that Vader could have killed Luke but R2D2 took the pew pew himself.The SignifianceThere was a lot of pew pew. That makes the battle important by default. Along with that the planet wasn't blown up and the Rebels had their first significant victory over the Empire. This took a bit of swagger out of the Empire's step and gave the Rebels the time they needed to regroup and make a come back. Also, had the Rebel's lost then Luke would have probably of died and therefore there would be nobody capable of stopping the Empire, meaning free clone trooper suits for everyone!

Movie: AvatarOpposing sides: Humans (Colonel Miles Quaritch) vs the Navi (Jake Sully)Year: 2154The Battle:Humankind and the native Navi of the planet Pandora have been unable to reconcile their differences and thus an all out battle has been declared following the destruction of the Navi home tree by the humans. To ensure victory the humans have launched an all out military and ground assault to destroy the tree of souls, the heart of all advanced life on Pandora. Jake and the Navi organize a massive aerial defense of the tree of souls while other tribes make up ground forces to halt the advance of the humans, and then the battle begins. The aerial war does not go as well as Jake hopes and the war on the ground is going much worse, and after a while it becomes apparent that jake and the Navi may lose the battle. Suddenly though the tree of souls coordinates nature itself to attack the humans in the air and on the ground, decimating their forces, including the huge airship carrying the bomb meant to destroy the tree of souls. The battle ends as a victory for the Navi, with the military being so weakened that the Navi carry out an organized forced removal of humans from their planet. Had the humans won?Had the humans succeeded in destroying the tree of souls, the entire Navi would have been killed due to the loss of the tree of soul's vital importance to the well being of the Navi. Several other species would have also instantly faced extinction, and humanity would be unopposed to recklessly mine Pandora for unobtanium with complete disregard to the environment, similar to how Earth was depleted of its resources. http://www.youtube.com...

Movie: Lord of the Rings, the Return of the KingOpposing sides: Orcs (Sauron) vs Humanity + other non violent beings (Gandolf)Year: Middle Earth The Battle:It was the largest battle in the history of Middle Earth, with Sauron laying siege to the city of Minas Tirith with an army numbering in millions. Sauron wished to wipe out the last great stronghold of Humanity which would have led to an era of Orc rule with humanity and other mythical beings fell into extinction. The Battle was important in what was at stake but mostly remembered for the sheer size of the army that laid siege to the city. The Orcs sucessfully started laying waste to the city and would have succeeded but at the last minute reinforcements of the undead army from Rohirrim army dismantled the mighty Orc armies and saved the city, in the process freeing themselves from the curse that made them undead. Had the Orcs won?Had Sauron's army succeeded, the city would have fallen, humanity would havent lived on, and orcs would have ruled over the planet with Sauron as their God. Also worth mentioning is that had the Orcs won, Froto and his band of hobbits wouldnt have made it to the Volcano to destroy the ring, and that weird Gollum dude wouldnt have died in lava (which is the whole reason I went to see that movie) http://www.youtube.com...http://www.youtube.com...

I feel rather confident in my knowledge of the legenday fake battles of history. Imabench stands no chance whatsoever in this debate. After all, what would he know, he's a bench. Benches don't do battle. Plus, my name is champion in some foreign language that I have forgotten. Do you know who are champions? That's right, people who do BATTLE. The only people who care about benches anyway are benchwarmers. I would say good luck but even that wouldn't be enough for Imabench. ^_^

You read the title correctly people, this debate will be arguing about the most important FAKE battles in history. You see, in normal "Most important battles in history" debates, any idiot can google "most important battles in history", pick one, and then post that as their turn, Thats exactly what I did recently against Historygenius and I still got my a** kicked. But I got stuck in an elevator with wet paint for four hours and the fumes I inhaled helped me realize something. The first was that Justin Bieber could never be a dad because he isnt a dude, the second thing is that it takes a true idiot to go through all of Hollywood history and find the most legendary FAKE battles in history.
