Girls are raised to have low self esteem

This round will be dedicated to proving everything my opponent said is false. Rebuttal 1: so , you are saying a 6 year old is going to cut herself or feel bad about herself just because she is not exactly like her. Do you really think a six year old girl will be so obsessed with her looks she will put on makeup? Nope. I don't know any girl like that. Rebuttal 2: First I don't want wemen to think I don't care about them or them to think I do. But wemen kinda care too much about acceptance. Guys are getting beat up, abused by bullies, and aren't raised with half the self esteem. They take it. And with girls, it take one girl calling them fat to throw them into a deep depression. I feel really bad for them. I wish I could give each one a hug and tell them everything will be okay. But a lot of girls can take all of that "I think you are fat" crap because every girl should be treated equally because a lot of the time girls that aren't as pretty have bigger hearts. I'm gonna shut up now but that's how I think. Rebuttal 3: a lot of the time the princesses are animated. They are not real people and any girl past 6 is smart enough to see that. And thanks for proving my point with girls are special because that raises their self esteem. Rebuttal 4: to be choosen is to fit someone's type. Like my type is smart and nice. But other guys want knock outs. It basically comes down to what you want and every girl fits one guy's type one time or more. They always get choosen eventually
Girls are raised to have low self esteem

Hello, I am here to show you girls in our society are not raised with low self esteem. I will start by proving what my contender said is false. 1 "They are surrounded by pictures, and shows, and movies of the "perfect body" This is true. But this also sets a double standard. A lot of girls see these movies, but know they are movie stars, and have had special diets and exercise plans designed for stars. So the girl could not possibly get the body they have. This is also like saying that since males see a guy with a six pack, they get low self esteem. A lot of people know who they are and they are not perfect. All of the girls I know don't even pay attention to female stars. They always obsess about a popular male. 2 "We live in a world of comparisons. Something is always better or worse than something else." Again, this is also true, but every different person has a different skill set may it be a male or female. Like, maybe her favorite star is prettier, but the girl is smarter, or the star made bad choices that got her in trouble. You are kinda underestimating how kids are these days. 3 "They are shown at a very young age that there is a requirement for love and happiness" Well, what do you want to do? To tell our daughters that they should never find love and get married? To remove every movie in Hollywood about love? Girls want to find their guy. It's just human nature! Furthermore, there are also a lot of guys that will make girls feel special. maybe one day, they will get married and have kids. Girls are pampered and treated very special. For example, guys pay for dates. Guys normally have to work up the courage to ask a girl out. They are always "Daddy's Princess". Girls are treated better than most everything. This all contributes to them having high self esteem!
Analyzing the effect of religion

I'm here to argue against any and every religion. I am agnostic and I am not trying to disprove god, just the religions that praise it/them. I would like for you to realize what belief in religions such as Christianity did. It was a way to control the masses and keep the power in the possession of those in power. Then realize that as we enlighten ourselves, the things written in the Bible are proven to be false. Also, the Bible was created during a time where stories were orally passed down over thousands of years. Stories constantly morphed and changed over time, and the Bible is a collection of these. This is why it has the nearly identical flood story from Gilgamesh, and why Jesus has the same characteristics as Dionysus, Osiris, Horus, Mithra, and Krishna. The contradictions and immorality in the stories are not evidence that God is flawed or evil, but rather that humans invented him, just like the thousands of other gods that we used to but no longer believe in. though of course you could always argue that god created all these stories and characters thousands of years before the Bible in order to trick people, and then created new stories and characters that were almost exactly the same. But the version that went into the Bible"even with all the contradictions and immoral teachings"is the actual word of God. If you really thought about it though, the first explanation is much more likely. The following website should be visited if you still truely believe in Christianity or if you are undecided. I got most of my argument from this website. This site website supplied both explanations. https://danielmiessler.com...
Religion(Pro) vs Science(con)

I disagree that religion has been running longer than science.Religion: a particular system of faith and worship.Science, like God, is everpresent and existed before humans started religions. While it's true that religion is ancient, it doesn't necessarily prove that religion is true. To even say religion is true is actually weird because there are different beliefs in each religion, causing debate amongst religious believers. So everyone's conclusion is that there is either only one true religion, or that no religions are true. I don't see how all religions can be true- for instance: Abrahamic religions believe that there is only one God and other religions, such as Hinduism, believe in lesser Gods; it is impossible for both of them to exist, either one of them or none of them are correct.I also have to say that the line in the Hanuman Chalisa, is more of an approximation, as the distance of the sun to earth is 92,955,807 miles (Source: http://www.space.com...).Even though it's close, that itself won't prove that the Hanuman Chalisa is correct, no matter how long ago it was written as many will argue that it is just a lucky hunch.As for the gayatri mantra, I don't know why NASA would study that since its a space agency. Then agaim, I don't know that much about NASA anyway, I would like a link showing where you got this information. That is interesting, but doesn't prove that religion existed before science and that religion, or atleast Hinduism is true.
Religion(Pro) vs Science(con)

I also believe that science and religion are a partnership but all I want to prove is that religion is very very ancient and has been running longer than science thus I will be proving that religion is reality. I am about to pull out a serious fact which some may understand, I have researched about this many times to verify it is true, here goes: Nasa has recently conducted an experiment on Hindu chants and prayers and one they have found is astonishing is the prayer to the monkey god Hanuman, it is known as the Hanuman chalisa and they have found something really peculiar. There is a line in this prayer, it is as follows: "Yug sahastra yojan per Bhanu! Leelyo tahi madhur phal janu!" . Now lets look at the science side of this: 1 Yug = 12000 years 1 Sahastra = 1000 1 Yojan = 8 Miles Yug x Sahastra x Yojan = par Bhanu 12000 x 1000 x 8 miles = 96,000,000 miles Nasa has confirmed that the distance between earth and sun is exactly 96,000,000 miles. There is a common story which sais that Hanuman jumped to the sun (bhanu) thinking it was a sweet fruit (madhur phal) as a child. Therefore it shows that it probably did happen because the Hanuman Chalisa was written thousands of years ago. I will now show you another fact like this....Nasa has also done an experiment on another Hindu chant known as the gayatri mantra. It is said that when you recite this mantra you give off a good vibe and things go well for you, well, Nasa has also discovered that when a person recites this mantra that person gives off an awful lot of positive thermal/infra-red rays and because of this the gayatri mantra is played on the radio in a south-American country every morning. I hope you understand this factual evidence!
Religion(Pro) vs Science(con)

I accept.I guess this is a bit complicated, considering that I am also religious. I believe that religion and science is a partnership (if this isn't what you wanted, I truly apologise). As a Muslim, what I am taught is related to science, such as: To avoid sleeping on your stomach. "Ya’eesh ibn Tihfah al-Ghifaari reported that his father said: “I stayed as a guest with the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) with those of the poor whom he hosted. The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) came out in the night to check up on his guests, and saw me lying on my stomach. He prodded me with his foot and said, ‘Do not lie in this manner, for it is a way of lying that Allaah hates.’” (See: http://islamqa.info...) The reason this is related to science is because sleeping on your stomach can cause you to tilt your face to one direction or the other, putting strain on your neck, even if you lie face down, this can cause back problems, as the curve of the spine is not supported. Bilal Philips, a Muslim teacher, explained in one of his teachings, that a baby sleeping on its stomach leads to Sudden Death Syndrome, as it puts the baby in cardiac risk since its squashed up against a surface. When scientists discovered this fact, infant mortalities decreased by 68%. The Quran also refers to the Big Bang theory, how the universe is expanding: “And the heaven We created with might, and indeed We are (its) expander.” (Quran 51:47) See: http://www.islamreligion.com...
Religion(Pro) vs Science(con)

This should be a simple debate and anyone can accept it. First round is acceptance along with your first argument. I would like to say good luck to my opponent before starting! Science is progressing rapidly and is giving us answers to things that we cannot understand but the only thing science does not provide is faith and hope, 2 factors that I believe are necessary in life. Religion states that there is a creator named god who loves us all and this lord will give us what we deserve and this idea brings a lot of hope for people that may be suffering from anything that is bad like cancer, any disease, a really bad phase. Science tells us how something is happening, what is happening and sometimes when its happening but religion tells us why it is happening. Religion is the reason why there are more hard-working good people than criminals on Earth. All of us are currently experiencing a tough journey that we all call life, this life is very weird because it is very much alike to a crooked bridge.....it consists of low moments but also high moments and is filled with big or short turning points. And I think that in order to be successful in this life we don't need fame or wealth but just faith, hope and goodness because each and every one of us can live on these three crucial things, if we have faith we have beliefs, if we have hope we will keep trying and if we have goodness in us then just let your mind imagine how wonderful this world would be. Religion answers key questions Science cannot, it may be just a theory today but all I know is that religion teaches us to be good humans and so religion itself can never be bad. The truth always prevails.
Abortion

Thanks for instigating. Since this is only for acceptance and a brief review on my contentions, we’ll make this round quick. But first some definitions relevant to the debate: Abortion- Induced termination of a pregnancy with destruction of the embryo or fetus. http://www.thefreedictionary.com... Murder- The unlawful killing of one human by another, especially with premeditated malice. http://www.thefreedictionary.com... Contentions: C1: Abortion is NOT murder Since my opponent’s main case relies on abortion being murder, it will also be my obligation to negate his contention. If I’ve fulfilled this obligation, you must negate the resolution. In this premise, I will also be arguing that murder can be justified and morally acceptable to society. Not all killings are morally wrong. I will also attempt to argue that even if abortion ends a life, it’s still morally acceptable, in some circumstances. C2: Valuing Women’s Rights I will show that a mother has rights over her body and privacy, and that it is more important to save the mother than the unborn fetus if both lives are at stake. C3: Abortion happens regardless of legality I’ll be proving in this premise that illegalizing abortion is a bad idea and a disadvantage to society and may lead to bad consequences and events. C4: Abortion is a right For my last contention, I will attempt to finally argue that a woman has a right to abort a child. I reserve the right to expand, drop and add more contentions whenever necessary to the debate. Thank you.
Abortion

I will be the con side in this debate. The first round is acceptance and opening contentions. No rebutals. C1: A fetus is a human therefore abortion is murder This will be explained in detail in my second round when I am actually introducung my full blown case. C2: It is morrally wrong to kill a person, and society looks down upon that act. This point can't be contested at all, but this point is dependant on my first contention. So for this to be a good contention I muat prove the first point. So if I prove the first point than this would be an argument for me as well. C3: Since it is morally wrong to kill a fetus This contention relys on the first 2 points, 2 for the moral statement, and 1 for a fetus is a human. C4: Religeon on some cases prohibits abortion The Roman Catholics are against abortion always, and the protestants are against it most of the time. C5: More people are pro-life than pro choice as of 2011. This isnt a big argument, but it is just a thing to consider, it is not a reason to illegilize it, this is just a fun fact that should only hold 1% of this debate, so my opponent could discard it. My first contention is my main argument as much of my other points rely on that one, so I only need to prove that, then most of my case follows along with it. I will provide sources and other things in the second round. And more thourogh explanations for each contention. Remember, first round no rebuttals, just acceptance and a outline for your case. If you break this rule you automatically forfeit. Good luck! 2nd round is when you add on to your case/show proof and begin the rebuttals. This first round is just for statements. ALso the BOP is on my to prove the above, and on you to prove your contentions.
WAR GAME SCENARIO: Russia Versus Chosen Nation

Counter-Measures:There is nothing to counter; I will continue the war.Continuing the War: Whie the Battle of the Two Towns (as it has come to be known) commences, the rest of the forces move into Turkey and capture the rest of the country (except the 2 towns, of course) by March 29.The remains of the Trukish army are in the Two Towns. The Russian forces are already surrounding the 2 towns (basically a siege) 1 km. from the defective perimeter, and the destruction of bridges and the establishment of roadblocks only further hinders the Turkish army. April 2, 2020 Turkey 3:45 localAll of the satellites in orbit detect the Turkish troop movements (including the troops along the narrow roads), and relay the information to the Kremlin and the Commander of the Russian Forces in Turkey (CINC South).CINC South orders all aircraft in the air with bombs/PGMs (about 450) to move on the city, saying "I do not care if you flatten the place and it is devoid of life afterwards; launch all you can!" From 4:07 to 5:12, all 450 aircraft release all munitions above the 2 towns. All Russian aircraft are outfitted with bombs and PGMs, and are vectored toward the 2 towns. Over the next 3 days, all Russian aircaft in Turkey bomb the town. All the tanks arrived on the third day, and began firing upon the ruined towns.April 7, 2020 Turkey 13:43 Day 5 of the Russian Push on the Two Towns The area has been ravaged by bombarment and siege. The Russian engineering corps build bridges over the rivers. Tanks begin moving on the town; crossing the new bridges and avoiding the narrow roads.The Russian tanks engage the remaining Turkish tanks. The battle is swift yet brutal; the Turks lose all their tanks, and the Russians lose 327 tanks. The tanks move on the town and penetrate the Turkish lines. Russian artillery and aircraft aid in the Final Push.By 17:22, all of Turkey is under Russian capture.Russia appeals to the Trukish government, asking for Turkey's terms of surrender.
WAR GAME SCENARIO: Russia Versus Chosen Nation

March 18 2020: I gather up all my troops I have left and start to movie south. I would take the cities of D"rtyol/Hatay and Payas. By this my forces would perform a mini blitzkrieg and pound the cities with artillery first and then send in the tanks to surround the city. As the tanks are moving into action my foot soldiers would come into the city. The generals of the military are telling the soldiers to fight as savagely as they can and show no mercy, that is because the Russians won't show any mercy to us. The fighting over the city last for 2 weeks: April 1 2020: After the fighting of the city we have lost most of our tanks and only have about 500 left and 400 artillery pieces left. We now only have 157,00 soldiers left. We start setting up ground to air defense and coastal defense again. The soldiers booby trap a radius of 25 miles from the coast. April 1 2020: The ground forces blow up any bridge the lead into the defective perimeter. Any narrow roads have soldiers there waiting to blow up a tank to make road blocks. Any open area is sighted and mapped for the artillery to blow up. The tanks our now used more for artillery. The tanks and people are all dug in around the city waiting. They are told not total any prisoners our become a prisoner them-selves. It is for the mother land.

The start of the War: After Russia got away with taking parts of Ukraine, they started to expand there borders to the south. The first victim was the small country of Georgia on Russia's south border. The Turkish Leader Recep Tayyip Erdoğan put Turkey on high alert for invasion. Then on February 28 2015 Russia declares war on Turkey. Since President Obama did not stop Russia in the first place, he refuses to get into the war. The UN only tells Russia not to do it, but Russia does not lesson because they know the UN won't do anything about it. It is the start of the Russian Turkish War. Turkeys First Movies Before The War: February 1: We made an oil deal with Saudi Arabia so they would supply us with oil and we payed them. February 5: We movie three Corvettes, 10 Frigates, 6 subs, and 20 Coast Defense Craft up into the Black Sea. We lock down the water ways form the Black Sea to the Mediterranean. The rest of out naval force is protecting the south part of our boarders. We have subs out side of the Suez Chanel. February 10: We have a around the clock flight schedule where 1/3 of all our airfare in the air at once. We also put all 185,6300 of our reserved land forces into front line action. We set up a military draft to draft in 200,000 men in the next 3 months. February 15: We set up land defense all around the country. We have every bridge under guard. The majority of the men are in the North East corner guarding the new boarded between Russia and Turkey. The coast line has artillery all around it at all the points we think Russia will invade, mainly the ports. February 28: The Russian Turkish War has begun.
The World Should Become Vegetarian

People crave meat because animal slaughter has been going on for hundreds of years and they have become used to it. However, that does not make it okay to do. The countries that you speak of could use all that land that houses animals as large gardens instead, which would produce more food, raise ethical citizens, and have a healthier society overall. The overpopulation of animals is occurring because of humans. They raise animals in large numbers, which quickly pushes the population way beyond it's natural number. If we stopped eating meat, the demand would go down and so would the overpopulation of animals.
The World Should Become Vegetarian

However, people still crave meat, why is that? Because it's natural. If humans weren't made to eat meat they wouldn't crave it. Also, a lot of countries entire industry is built in the export or import of animal for slaughter, and raising the animals ourselves is a lot better than going out into the wild and depleting natural species. And, human consumption of meat plays a vital role in the ecosystem, we diminish overpopulating species.
The World Should Become Vegetarian

Vegetarianism is much more "natural" than raising living, breathing creatures for slaughter. I have been vegetarian for a little over a year, and I feel better than I have my whole life, so my body obviously does not need meat. If humans converted the land that they use for meat to gardens, the world would have more food and world hunger could be greatly diminished. Breeders feed their animals tons and tons of corn and grain each year, and for only a few pounds of meat, which is a complete waste of food and life.
Resolved; Christianity was a positive influence in the development of modern science

To clarify my stance, I am debating that there is no strictly positive relationship between Christianity and the development of science. Alternatively, I could also debate a lack of a relationship between Christianity and the development of science. The stance that I will take will depend on the arguments present and my research into the topic, but my intuition thinks the former will be my stance. DefinitionsDevelopment: 1. the act or process of developing; growth; progress: child development;economic development.2. a significant consequence or event: recent developments in the field of science. [1]Christianity: When referring to Christianity, to avoid bias references will be drawn from any chapter of the Bible, from the old or new testament. The burden of proof is on you to give reasons why my interpretations are incorrect if I make them. influence: the capacity or power of persons or things to be a compelling force on or produce effects on the actions, behaviour, opinions, etc. , of others: He used family influence to get the contract.
