What doesn't kill you makes you stronger

My opponent says "Those come back mentally prepared for danger of pretty much any kind". But is this true? Veterans are more than twice more likely to commit suicides than non-veterans. Veterans ages 20-24 who served in the military during the war on terror are about three to four times likely to commit suicide. In 2005 there were 6,256 veterans who committed suicide in 45 states. That means about 120 veterans were committing suicide every week. This data shows that many veterans have a hard time adjusting and living in our society. http://www.cbsnews.com... The common cold is not going to stop if you put on extra layers. And this boy may just learn to put extra layers on in the cold, but how does that make him stronger? On average children have six to ten colds a year. the common cold accounts for 22 million school absences. If this boy is stronger for learning to put on layers, he would be even stronger if he went to school and learned and have never had the cold in the first place. http://www.healthguidance.org... My opponent claims "You could live without that much food. That doesn't kill you and it does make you weaker at first until you get used to it." But starvation does have long term effects. During the Siege of Leningrad when the daily ration was 460 kcal per day, of the population of 2.9 million, 630,000 people died from hunger related causes. When they studied 5000 men born in Leningrad between 1916 and 1935, they found that "men who had been in the siege around the age of puberty had blood pressures a mean of 3.3 mmHg higher than normal. This group also had a higher rate of death from ischemic heart disease and stroke, including hemorrhagic stroke. Lifestyle and socioeconomic factors did not confound the association between death from cardiovascular disease and siege exposure." This shows that even if going without food doesn't kill you it can certainly negatively affect you in the future. http://www.eatingdisordersreview.com... On my argument about smoking my opponent gives 5 advantages of smoking. "1. Helps people eat less." -As I showed eating less is not always a good thing. "2. Gives quick & temporary stress relief." -Stress is a part of life and there are plenty o healthier ways to relieve stress. "3. People become slimmer." -look at 1 "4. Good social booster in some cases." -If you have to harm yourself to be accepted, there are probably more issues going on. "5. Accepted by people you'd rather not mess with" -Not sure what this means. I would rather not mess with the drug dealers in Detroit that doesn't make it good to be a drug dealer. I have shown why my opponent’s case does not work. Good luck.
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger

Nice argument angrymen. Nice argument indeed. One thing that I found is that we have just both listed both the good and the bad things that come from circumstances not killing you. Could that simply be coincidence? Truly in the war people don't come back unharmed but there are those who don't suffer from combat stress reaction. Those come back mentally prepared for danger of pretty much any kind. Then there are those that train exceptionally hard during the war. They train with the mindset that they're going to win. Some get stronger to avenge their lost comrades. Yes, I do admit that many illnesses that don't kill you do damage you but then there are those illnesses that help shape people up. I shall star off with an example that might be quite common. Let's say there is a little boy in beach clothing sitting in the cold for no reason. The boy will most probably catch a cold. After that though the boy would have grown stronger mentally, he would now know to put on extra layers in cold temperatures. Children who have learning disabilities still learn, even if they grow slow they are still growing. Yes even though the things might make you weaker in some aspect do they make you weaker in the long run? You could live without that much food. That doesn't kill you and it does make you weaker at first until you get used to it. There are many disabilities and weaknesses that people are facing and surviving through that actually make them stronger than their average self in that aspect. Many people might seem weaker than others and weaker than they should be even though they are truly stronger. 'Don't judge a book by its cover' is a saying that applies to this case. As people look the book cover might suck but the book is a different story all together. Friedrich Nietzsche didn't get mentally stronger but in his craziness he probably did extra things that would probably prove useless but might just have been good forms of exercise. That would be right up until he got paralyzed though. Now I shall acknowledge the point you made on smoking. Smoking is rather bad and it does have a lot of disadvantages but there are a few advantages that might make some people stronger. 1. Helps people eat less. 2. Gives quick & temporary stress relief. 3. People become slimmer. 4. Good social booster in some cases. 5. Accepted by people you'd rather not mess with. I believe I have touched all points of notice. Good luck angrymen.
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger

. http://www.youtube.com... In many cases things that don’t kill you don’t make you stronger, sometimes they even make your life worse. My opponent brings up war as an example. Soldiers don’t return home after wars the same person. Many times their life completely changes and not for the better. Psychiatric illnesses like shell shock can cause symptoms such as tremors, nightmares, depression, confusion, and many more. . http://en.wikipedia.org... Besides war there are many other times that things that don’t kill you don’t make you stronger. Low amounts of lead in the body can cause plenty of problems, and doesn’t kill you. Symptoms in adults included decline in mental function, muscular weakness, and memory loss. Symptoms in kids and babies included slow growth, learning difficulties, and weight loss. People who suffer from this are not physically or mental stronger. . http://www.mayoclinic.com... There are plenty of diseases and disorders that can weaken and cripple people without killing them. Cerebral palsy is a brain injury that causes kids to lose motor skills as they age. Also patients have decreased muscle strength and more pain as they age. Some patients with cerebral palsy have a decline in cognitive functions. Kids with cerebral palsy become weaker and will always need constant care. . http://www.spastikerforeningen.dk... Even Friedrich Nietzsche, the man who said “That which does not kill us makes us stronger”, was an example of why this is not true. He contracted syphilis and had a mental breakdown. He began writing letters saying things like “I have had Caiaphas put in fetters. Also, last year I was crucified by the German doctors in a very drawn-out manner. Wilhelm, Bismarck, and all anti-Semites abolished. ” He also became partially paralyzed, and then unable to walk or talk. While he was alive after his breakdown he did not become mentally stronger. . http://www.iep.utm.edu..., . http://en.wikipedia.org... Something that I see on a daily basis like cigarette smoking shows why this statement is false. Smoking is done even though it provides almost no benefits. Many times smoking cigarettes do not kill people, but how does that make you stronger? People who smoke cigarettes do no become physically or mentally stronger. There are many things in this world that do not kill us but they all do not make us stronger. In fact many of them make us weaker.
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Even though it is just a saying I find that it is actually true. Let's say that a man goes to war, when he come out he will be stronger than he was before. If there is a particular sickness that is just so strong but a person manages to survive it they will be stronger than they were before. First of all they will be stronger mentally, as they will know what to do in case of the sickness. There are many other examples that can show you that this argument is correct. I eagerly await my opponent's response.
Jesus Christ is more likely to be an alien than the son of God.

I know you'll put up a good fight and this debate will be close. Unholy Seed- Facts aren't copyrighted so I can just post facts word for word. In this case I'm not going to do that. I'm going to give a small quote by Rabbi Shraga Simmons Specifically, the Bible says he will: A. Build the Third Temple (Ezekiel 37:26-28). B. Gather all Jews back to the Land of Israel (Isaiah 43:5-6). C. Usher in an era of world peace, and end all hatred, oppression, suffering and disease. As it says: "Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall man learn war anymore. " (Isaiah 2:4) D. Spread universal knowledge of the God of Israel, which will unite humanity as one. As it says: "God will be King over all the world ? on that day, God will be One and His Name will be One" (Zechariah 14:9). If an individual doesn't do this. He isn't the messiah. Jesus hasn't done this and isn't the messiah and therefore not the son of God. . http://www.aish.com... There is other problems with this messiah claim as well. The messiah is supposed to be a descendant of King David on his father's side. Since Jesus's dad isn't Moses, he doesn't fit this qualification. It's likely that Jesus was a real being who did miraculous things. He was just mistaken for a messiah. It's like what happened shortly after WWI and WWII. American troops created miracles. They came from the sky and gave tribal people free stuff. These cargo cults still exist to this day. . http://en.m.wikipedia.org... So yes the cargo cults are being honest, just like early Christians. Miracles did happen, but the interpretation of their meaning is way off. To infinity and Beyond- The virgin birth is a clear indication of in vitro fertilization. This is a technology not available at the time and given the fact that aliens have been known to interbreed with humans and have a particular interest in the human reproductive system. It would seem the aliens put a baby in the Virgin Mary. . http://www.abduct.com... . http://ufodigest.com... UFO abductees have a bunch of similar experiences, so we know certain unique traits of the aliens visiting Earth, and what they do. . http://en.m.wikipedia.org... Using these traits. We can easily determine Jesus was an alien. 1. The Aliens tend to communicate using telepathy. The can read minds. . http://www.ufoabduction.com... There are a few times in the Bible where Jesus shows he has telepathy. Jesus perceived their thoughts. - Luke 5:22 He knew their thoughts. - Luke 6:8 Jesus knew their thoughts. - Matthew 22:25 Jesus healed things that human technology was incapable of at the time. He healed the blind brought the dead back to life and made the lame walk. Something that only a more advanced species could do. Jesus also ascended to outer space after he died and came back. The bible talks about Jesus going up to space. Acts 1:9 Now when He had spoken these things, while they watched, He was taken up, and a cloud received Him out of their sight Since people can't actually chill on clouds the writer was probably trying to explain an alien craft. Conclusion- resolution upheld. Jesus is clearly an alien.
This house of trolls asserts that ubisoft is hypnotizing kids!

In his previous argument, my opponent made the statement "meh".What a crucial error this was for him. He expressed disinterest. One does not express disinterest unless they have nothing to worry about. Which, in the case of this debate, means that he feels his argument was so strong that he had no need to worry.I did state last round that I cannot argue against the intentions/feelings of my opponent, I can however dissect his actions to determine them.By stating "meh" my opponent has exposed that he did not feel the need to rebut because he was in such a high postion of superiority. Which then affrims my point from earlier that his argument was an extremely ineffable piece of work that could not be refuted. This completely confirms my argument, and since my opponent did not actually post the argument, it has no presence that would earn him points in arguments.It was a fun debate. Good luck in voting Pro!
This house of trolls asserts that ubisoft is hypnotizing kids!

Pro has decided that he is not up to posting his argument. So I must assume it is a verbose, and consummate argument that would be completely unrefutable. Why else would he be so tired as to not be capable to press lettered keys in rapid succession?So, I will give this round to Pro. He obviously earned it. I will get him in the next round however. You just wait.
Big Bang

This will be interesting. I would just like to state that the big bang theory violates the first law of thermodynamics, which states that matter cannot be created or destroyed. This is obviously a problem. How was this first matter created? Also what caused the mass expansion of the universe? Obviously some energy would be required. After the big bang was the formation of our solar system. Not directly after as it is taught but there are also major problems with this model as well. Apparently the solar system was a rotating disk of material. If this were true then every object in our solar system would be rotating the same way. Venus has a backwards rotation. . http://moonphases.info... The Earth and Venus are usually called sister planets because of their relationship close to the sun and size. If they formed at the same time with the same material the planets should look alike. Obviously the planets are drastically different. . http://coolcosmos.ipac.caltech.edu...- Uranus rotates on its side. The 'best' possible explanation is that something really big hit it. There is no evidence for this explanation. The planet would have been hit out of the solar system! The flat disk of our early solar system would be obviously much larger in diameter than it would currently be today. This is tough to explain but i will try anyway. If you spin a Yo Yo around your finger in a large circle, and place a finger in it so that the string wraps around another finger, the Yo Yo will begin to move faster. This is because of the Law of Angular Momentum stating that Angular Momentum needs to be conserved. Basically if your finger was the sun the planets closer to it would be spinning much faster than they do. Venus's day is EXTREMELY long: . http://coolcosmos.ipac.caltech.edu...- Also Jupiter's day is pretty quick: . http://www.courses.vcu.edu... This defy's the Law of Angular Momentum. (When the Sun formed the Disk shortened in Length So this is valid to say)> My Challenges to you: Where did the matter come from? Where did the energy come from? How do we get all the elements we have today? The big bang theory created light elements, like Hydrogen and Helium. How did the heavy ones come to be? This is all i have time for right now. Ill Try to do more in the future rounds but for now Good Luck!
Vote for trump

It is without question that this Presidential election is by no means another election. This election is different because we are faced with an outsider as the Republican candidate on the ticket this year. That"s without getting into an argument about the Democratic selection, but it must be mentioned because she adds to the interest in this case. However, Donald Trump being an outsider is a good thing. His ideas are not radical; they just go against the way things have been done. Its time to take a turn off the same road we"ve been driving on for years and see where that takes us. Donald Trump owes no one for the position he is in. Meaning no political favors, positions, or influence. Trumps comments in the media have drawn a lot of attention. People saying he is a loose canon, and that he has no filter between his brain and his mouth. Which in turn means transparency. A man who isn"t afraid of his own ideas, a man who says what he thinks. Not a man who has filtered his ideas through rooms full of people who have polled every sentence that will be said to know how it will play on the American people. Donald Trump has ideas as I will continue to explain. He wants to bring jobs back to the American worker. He wants to stop outsourcing jobs to China and other places where the work can be done cheaper. With souring unemployment, why wouldn"t we want this. Unemployment effects everyone in almost every aspect of their life. Taxes go up, crime rates go up, and the list goes on. Bringing Jobs back to America is a great thing. Now down to the nitty gritty of things. His proposed policies. This is why I support Donald Trump for the Republican nomination for President of the United States. One of the areas that seems to get hit hardest is his immigration policy. Building of the wall. Mexico who had a problem with immigration and drug trade from their southern border did the same thing. They built a wall. Why shouldn"t we. It is not racist, hurtful, or hateful. I am expected to obey the laws of the land, so should every person in this country. Coming to this country illegally, well is illegal. There is nothing wrong with building a wall to slow immigration, and ask people to legally immigrate into the United States. He as shown sound decisions in his policy making from his dedication to veterans, to taxes. We can make the debate about these if you'd like. I support Donald Trump, I believe he brings a much needed change to the table.

Rap Battle. Right now.

http://www.youtube.com... Who the fvck do you think you are? Challenging me like you think you’re on par. The fact that you think you’re legit is truly bizarre. Your intelligence literally lowers the bar. I’m gonna hit you like a speeding car. I’m truly the greatest by far. When it comes to rap, you have zero skill. It’s like trying to cook soup on a grill; it just ain’t chill. Rhyming against you doesn’t even give me a thrill. The fact you think you stand a chance proves you’re mentally ill. There’s no fear for you to possibly instill. I am the one God, your death wish I will fulfill. Killing noobs like you for me is just another drill. It’s king of the mountain, b1tch, and I’m kicking your a.ss downhill. I’m a god amoung men, I am the true boss. I’m one badass that you don’t wanna cross. I’m a great oak tree, you’re nothing but moss. My lyrical homicide will leave you at a loss. You think you’re TUF? You ain’t up to snuff. All your so called skills are just a bluff. You shouldn’t challenged me, I’m truly rough. I’m a brutal badass, I’ll haul you off by your scruff. You got no skills, you’re just a fvcking cream puff. You’re not even close to good enough. You’ll find out how screwed you are soon enough. I’m a true sensation, you’re nothing but a fraud. You can’t even find a dumb broad to prod. Your rhymes suck, man, they’re all just flawed. Your fake confidence is just a façade. No one cares about you, not even abroad. I am power encarnate, I am the true God. All shall bow before me, face first and awed.
Video Rap Battle: My Ex Is Worse Than Yours

Surely this will be a debate of epic proportions (I know at least I will be highly entertained). I think the only rules for this debate should be no lying. .. not that we need to exaggerate the extent of our ex-girlfriend's atrociousness. Before we begin, I'd like to make a few clarifications on how the voters should distribute their votes accordingly: 1. Who you agreed with before the debate - Vote Pro, cuz she's cute 2. After the debate, judge based on creativity and rhyme structure 3. As for conduct, I think those with the best insults should win this point 4. Spelling and grammar should be translated to lyrical flow (delivery) 5. Convincing arguments. .. self-explanatory (whose ex sounds worse) 6. As for sources, please refer to our lyrical content, which will be posted conveniently in R4 I'd also like to wish my amusing and talented girlfriend the best of luck. .. this will be fun :D
