Gun Control Laws

So I will admit I got confused on this challenge. I read this as my opponent being Con against what was stated in his starting argument. However, I have no problem playing devils advocate even if it goes against my own personal beliefs. So I will argue my best in favor of Gun Control Laws and give the best debate possible despite the fact that it is against my personal belief. Now, that said, gun crime in the US has reached significant levels. Every few days it seems we hear of a new shooting or violent crime involving guns. In this debate I will argue for multiple proposed gun control laws and attempt to convince my opponent and the readers that these laws are necessary to stem the levels of crime that we have in the States. 1. Ban on assault rifles. 2. Ban on handguns. 3. Requirement for development of "Smart Guns" and technology to enhance safety. 4. Federal and State mandated buy back programs. 5. Increase in background check scrutiny. 6. High capacity magazine bans 7. Ammo bans. 8. Closing loopholes. 9. Limiting concealed and open carry laws 10. Changing castling clauses to eliminate deadly force with firearms and institute duty to run laws 11. And the most controversial, federal confiscation measures. Those are the points I will be arguing. I will allow my opponent to challenge these points now.
Plagiarism Should be Penalized on DDO

Key Dropped Points: The DDO Terms of Use he agreed to actually forbid plagiarism. Every voter has full authority to penalize plagiarism. DDO would be a nightmare if plagiarism were allowed. Plagiarism is most clearly bad sportsmanlike behavior. Final Rebuttals: "I don't do this to 'win'" Hect believes he should win for cheating. "I should be locked up … Airmax1227 can blow me" I will however cede that he may be looking for a different kind of victory, as he's seeking attention from the site admin, then requesting to be "locked up" for it, to receive sexual favors. "what are you my English teacher" No, but you may be need of one. The fact that you plagiarize Sam Harris' work, but don't know how to properly write his name ("Sam harris's"), implies a lot about your education. "my cowardly opponent would see this knowledge blocked of from the general public" No, I would see it cited so people know where to find more of it. "only those wealthy enough to afford a proper education or the adequate books" This I can fully refute in one word: Library. "I say nay, nay to your capitalist society and nay to your elitist regime. " Wonderful pathos. Completely without merit in logical argument, but would sound nice in a speech. "No I will not steal from the poor and give to the rich I will steal from the rich and give to the poor. " It has already been established that plagiarizing here is attempting to cede ownership of material to Debate. org, which in turn gives it to the parent company Juggle. com; therefore when you say "give to the poor," your definition of poor is those rich enough to own a NASCAR. I fail to see the benefit. "this is outrageous and my opponent should apologize and show some shame! !! " Apologize for wanting people to be able to find who wrote ideas to learn them more in depth, I could have sworn access to information was your argument, which concealing the authorship actually harms. Review: Last round I put forward an unrefuted case against plagiarism, and the way to avoid the pitfalls of it (penalize it when caught). Whereas Hect has no case. The best he did was Robin Hood themed pathos appeals based on straw-person arguments; which were both pre-refuted and self-refuting. Plagiarism is cheating. It is cheating the readers, cheating your opponent, and worst of all cheating yourself.
Plagiarism Should be Penalized on DDO

" illegal" quick call the cops I should be locked up. "Penalize is spelled with a Z" umm... not in my country the world isn't america buddy. Airmax1227 can blow me " I never knew copy/pasting was a challenge", I never said for me but certainly for my opponents to come up with a better response "Please denote questions with question marks" what are you my English teacher. and a full stop just for good measure. Unlike my opponent I don't do this to "win" I do not seek glory in my debates, I do it to share knowledge amongst my peers, to share the fruits of wisdom with all I can. However my cowardly opponent would see this knowledge blocked of from the general public and only those wealthy enough to afford a proper education or the adequate books to learn this from the great minds of today, so to my opponent I say nay, nay to your capitalist society and nay to your elitist regime. No I will not steal from the poor and give to the rich I will steal from the rich and give to the poor. I will fight till my last breath to share the wisdom and knowledge of today with the world unlike my opponent who would have the precious and valuable knowledge withheld so as people cannot learn, this is outrageous and my opponent should apologize and show some shame!!!
Plagiarism Should be Penalized on DDO

This debate is taking place as I used part Sam harris's argument on free will in my own free will debate. Now first of all after I have thoroughly read the DDO privacy policy and terms of use, no where does it say one cannot plagiarize, it merely only recommends sourcing material as a way of showing prove for claims. Now under what authority does my opponent claim to penalise people for? The answer is none. If everyone wanted to penalize people for their own made up rules DDO would be a nightmare and no one could have good thought provoking challenging debates without biased votes. Now it appears my opponent has made up his own rules on plagiarism which again are not listed in the rules of this website and thinks that standard should apply to everyone. I have been cited by my opponent for a philosophical argument which I felt needed no reference as it was not an argument that asserted any facts it only required one to think about what I was saying. I'm no expert but I would say the majority of people whether knowingly or unknowingly have plagiarized in their own arguments on this website. Should everyone who has used the 'flying spaghetti monster' argument cite Bobby Henderson (the founder) every time they mention it, or when someone uses the watchmaker analogy for intelligent design should they then reference William Paley, or Blaise Pascal everytime someone says "I'd rather not live like there isn't a God than die and find out there really is"? No of course not these are only arguments one needs to think about to understand the meaning and no reference is needed, as with my philosophical argument on free will.
Barack Obama Would Be a Better President than McCain or Clinton.

So, since 20 million people have voted for this guy I should just assume that he is an awesome candidate and vote for him? Sound logic. Simply because 20 million people have voted for him does not mean he is a good candidate. In fact, it leads into exactly what I argued earlier; Obama is charismatic and can market well for votes. So voting is leadership now? 1/3 of a term as a senator is experience? By your reasoning, every single legislator would be a perfectly formidable candidate for president. Just about EVERY legislator in Congress has more experience than Obama. Even you examples, such as Lincoln, had a full term under their belt. The bills you cite prove my point. How can you claim Obama is a uniter when all he does is sponsor ridiculously obvious and uncontreversial bills? Stopping terrorists from getting guns? Why not just create the 'happiness for America' Act or a bill to spread love to children? Is this really taking contreversial and difficult positions? The fact that your only evidence for Obama's emmaculate qualities is a speech he gave also proves my point. He can talk all he wants, but where is the action? When has he ever taken steps to overcome racial struggles? It seems that he and Clinton are dividing the country by race (look at the polls). Beyond the fact that he is a socialist, he has absolutely NO reason, whatsoever, to be president. Even if I was a Democrat, I would never vote for Barack Obama. You can not give me one substantial defining characteristic that sets him apart from ANY OTHER first-term legislator other than 'he gives bitchin' speeches'. He can tell me he is a uniter and he can claim to be the great leader of our time, but what in his life would ever lead me to think that, without him having to tell me? His involvement in Congress is run-of-the-mill, other than the fact that Democratic leadership sticks him on a boatload of committees because he has reached rockstar status. John McCain is not my ideal candidate and I don't have time or space to argue the partisan issues like taxes and the war. So, I'll assume I'm a dem and that we agree on most basic issues. What makes you vote for Obama over Hillary? In all of the debates, she demonstrates a much deeper knowledge of every issue and is much more versed in political goings-on. While Obama gives answers like 'The opposite of Bush' and 'I want to help the poor and take down greedy corporations'. Take Barack off of the teleprompter and lets see what this awe-insipiring quality is.
Barack Obama Would Be a Better President than McCain or Clinton.

My apologies again for missing that last round. Well, I'm assuming you are McCain supporter, though you haven't made even that clear, or why Obama would not be better than either of the two candidates. I am familiar with your arguments. Obama may be a great speaker, inspirational and flashy, bold and charismatic - but he has got nothing to back it up with and everyone who supports him is just captivated by his sparkling speeches and deep sexy voice. Those 20 million people who've voted for him so far would surely be ignorant - willing to follow him off of a bridge - if they supported a man who had never led before, had no experience in politics, and was simply a good contestant on "American Idol: Politics Edition". But how can a man who was elected to the US Senate be said to have never led before? My opponent is implying that the job of a US Senator, to propose and vote on pieces of legislature that affect the entire nation, is not a leadership position. Perhaps my opponent is saying that all US Senators are subject to the whims and desires of their constituents, and thus they are truly followers. In that case, it clear why my opponent doesn't make his support of any candidate clear: he thinks he should be president. I joke, but really, Barack Obama served six years in the Illinois State Legislature where he voted on over 4000 bills. He's been in the US Senate since 2005, where he's a member of the Foreign Affairs Committee, Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, Veterans Affairs Committee, Health Education and Labor & Pensions Committee, and several more. In Senate, he's passed the Obama-Coburn bill which created a database to track all pork spending in Washington. He also passed the Lugar-Obama act which makes securing conventional assault weapons mandatory so they don't get in the hands of terrorists. He's sponsored around 200 bills and voted on many more. He's led, dude, and I believe this answers the question of his experience sufficiently too. It answers the question of his experience because you will never be able to answer this question: how much experience is enough? One term? Lincoln had only one. 8 years in public office? That's how much Hillary had - Obama has 10. It is not how much you've experience but what you've taken from it. And what Obama has taken from it is that problems don't get solved when the country is divided. It doesn't even take a senator to realize that. Want proof of his unity? Those two bills were sponsored by Obama and a Republican. Want proof he's a uniter? Listen to "A More Perfect Union" on youtube. That speech shows an understanding not only of the history of black struggle in America, but of the white perspective as well. A man who is capable of that kind of understanding has the first thing needed to be a uniter. The second thing needed is the desire to do so, and does Obama have that? Yes he does, or else why is he running for president?
Barack Obama Would Be a Better President than McCain or Clinton.

I'll save my objection of your Bush analysis for a later date. There is absolutely no doubt whatsoever that Obama is intelligent and a terrific speaker. The only problem is that that is where the list ends. As a Republican, I have to say, Obama is the worst candidate of the three. There is this myth, and i use the word myth, that Barack Obama is somehow this uniter and great compromiser. In what way is this, or has ever been, true. i realize he says we need to come together and solve problems. I realize he is the greatest an most inspiring speaker of all time. But what in the world is making people believe that he is a uniter? What has he EVER done to suggest such? Watch..."I am all powerful" Damn, still not true. He is more liberal than Hillary (if you don't believe me see his moveon.org endorsement) despite the fact that independents vote for him. If 'bring the country together' means 'push through my agenda with a Democratic Congress' than yes, he is a uniter. Second, the myth, again myth, that Obama is a leader. Has Barack Obama EVER lead ANYTHING? He was editor for the Harvard Law Review... Other than that he hasn't lead so much as a boyscout troop. Not saying senators haven't made good presidents, but Barack has ZERO, I mean ZERO, experience. Even as a republican, Hillary has impressed me with her wide-ranging and in-depth knowledge of every obscure political topic. Misguided as she may be. Barack doesn't share this characteristic. When asked specific and direct questions off of the script he gives answers like 'to a fair level' or 'do what seems reasonable'. He simply hasn't had the time to familiarize himself with the range of topics a president would face. He has done great for being so young, but should have waited like Hillary did in 04. I'll save both of our time arguing policy procedures, because each of those could go for miles. I realize why so many people support Barack. He is the kind of guy you want to root for. He speaks well, he is funny and I would not be suprised AT ALL if he is the next president. But, his policy is more liberal than Hillary and he is unexperienced. The American public has become so easily influenced that the Presidential election is becoming American Idol: Politics Edition. Simple slogans and unsubstatiated claims, along with pretty speakers and marketable candidates are all that is left. We shouldn't be suprised that our current President pulled a 180 once he got in office, both times.
Barack Obama Would Be a Better President than McCain or Clinton.

I'm sure there are others like me who are very excited about the 2008 presidential election. With so much at stake and some very well qualified candidates across the board, this election will be very historic. I am hoping for a well informed opponent who has a strong position and a good nature towards this topic. Good luck. This 2008 election marks the end of the George Bush era - one marked by bitter partisan divides overseeing our economy crumble, the war in Iraq fester, the war on Terror stall, and America's standing in the world is diminish to other world powers. This divide amongst liberals and conservatives, free market or government-intervention types, pro-war or anti-war folks is the biggest problem facing our country today above all these issues, because while we stand divided - at home, in the house and in the senate, none of our problems can get solved the right way. From the Audacity of Hope, Obama writes: "What's troubling is the magnitude of our challenges and the smallness of our politics - the ease with which we are distracted by the petty and trivial, our chronic avoidance of tough decisions, our seeming inability to build a working consensus to tackle any big problem". Obama is the best person we have to unite this country to solve our problems. From his work in the Illinois state legislature to the U.S Senate, he brings to America a new type of governing, one that is our only hope to overcoming these great struggles. His approach emphasizes the common values that everybody holds dear and he tackles the reality of the issue at hand in a compromise that suits all sides equally. The stances of the other candidates may be appealing to some, but they are not enough to lead this country. What's best for this country is achieved only by listening to all sides, and Obama has already proven his ability to do so in his "A More Perfect Union" speech which can be seen here on youtube: http://www.youtube.com... He possesses an intelligent and wise mind capable of bridging the gaps of race, wealth, and beliefs to unite us in our common purpose for a better country. Only through unity can the United States of America survive, and only Obama can bring us this unity. That is why he would be a better president than McCain or Clinton.
Spooky Scary Skeletons

Nice argues real head scratchies.1. Its effect on the young and old:I care not about what happens to the old, the old have their time on the planent they did there stuffs fought in the war, they need to be put down after 60. It will help overpopulation and it will be easier on everyone. Dimentia rates would decrease, the rate of people who need pills to live would decrease, crime would decrase (those old people gangs are out of control) number of pinched cheeks would decrease, ect. The effect on the old is a REASON to support the resolution. tl;dr, kill the old people.What about the youngies? CHildren going thru nightmares will decrease their fear of other things. THe only way to overcome your fears is to face them! THe youngies only be scared of the skeletons because they are abnormal (if your family were werewolf people you wont be afraid of werewolves). The future youngies will be brave against them with minimul fear. We shouldnt base everything on the current young generation.2: effect on Earth. You can block the effects of awesome radation by using a tin foil hat then graudally exposing yourself to it till you can bask in the glow of awesomeness (f*ck yeah).MLG radation doesnt affect the polor ace caps. the cold melts the MLG radation and the spooky skeletons freeze up and cannot move. MLG needs a warm medium to move in, too cold and it drops off. I have seen the Rick and Morties i get the show in romania and its good. Taking a sh1t on the floor could invite some good thigns to happen, but we are talking about skeletons not a big floating head. 🎃👻🎃👻🎃👻👻👻🎃👻 spooky sh1t spooky sH1t🎃 thats d04; some spooky🎃🎃sh1t right🎃🎃th 🎃 ere🎃🎃🎃 rightd04;there d04;d04;if i do ƽaw9; so my selA350; 💯 i say so 💯 thats what im talking about right there right there (chorus: E1;K90;K01;D8;K11; K11;D8;J97;E1;J97;) mMMMM247;i2;💯 🎃🎃 🎃i3;O0i4;ଠA327;OOA327;Oi4;ଠଠOoooK06;K06;K06;K06;K06;K06;K06;K06;K06;🎃 🎃 🎃 🎃 💯 🎃 👻👻 👻 🎃🎃spooky sh1tBac k to conny boy, SHOW ME WHAT YOU GOT!
Spooky Scary Skeletons

A reasonable argument, let us begin. First of all, my guess is that you are using the dictionary meaning of each word: Spooky: sinister or ghostly in a way that causes fear and unease. Scary: frightening; causing fear Skeletons: the bones of a human or an animal considered as a whole, together forming the framework of the body. (All definitions taken from Dictionary.com) 1. Its effect on the young and old: If these skeletons are indeed, spooky and scary, then what would those effects be on the young and old. With the young, something they see that is spooky and scary would probably give the child nightmares, which could make them not want to see anything that is scary, which might make them not want to try any new things because of this fear. With old people, the total scariness of it might give them a heart attack, which, as you know, could be fatal. In other words, IT SCARS CHILDREN AND KILLS OLD PEOPLE. Need I say more? I will anyways(:3). 2: effect on Earth. Now lets look at our glorious planet Earth. Well, the total MLGness of these spooky scary skeletons could overflow everyones brains with data of awesomeness, causing cranial rupture. In other words, it would blow up everyones heads from the MLG power, wiping out the population. If not that, the radiating heat from the MLG power could melt the polar ice caps, flooding everything and turning us into slimy fish people! (Also, the song could invite the events of the "Get Shwifty" episode of the TV show "Rick and Morty", as you can see the entire episode to the right-> http://www.dailymotion.com... As you can see, the power of the spooky scary skeletons would wipe out the entire human race if we let them continue to exist. I await my opponent.
