This is what them there people there look like.......ahiuck! >>>>VIDEO
Contradiction Debate

The first bible reference made in Round 5 by Pro, is about Jesus' suffering for his beliefs. This is no way applied to Lenin and your murdering of him. The second reference is directly to Jeremiah. Now God does know all of his children before they are formed in the womb, and he is the ultimate Judge. We are not the judge. We cannot determine who should be put to death. You said directly you would kill Lenin before he became a communist. That is before he committed the wrongdoings you are quoting in all over your bible verses. Regardless of how the future happen, you are killing (not putting to death) and innocent man. The rules also state I am allowed to bring up a contradictions at any point during the debate. By saying you have not contradicted yourself is a contradiction in itself, which you have done in Rounds 4 and 5. My questions are unwarranted as a contradiction has been made, thus nullifying the debate as I would be the winner upon your contradiction.
Contradiction Debate

My opponent is once again false. Let me again go to the Bible. In Luke 4:16- Luke 4:30, tells the story of Jesus teaching in Nazareth and a group of men set out to kill him, because of his teachings interfering with their beliefs. (http://www.christendom-awake.org...) For him being originally religious I have another Bible verse for that. "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations." Jeremiah 1:5. Here we can see that since God has known Lenin since before he was born, he also knew about the atrocities that he would commit and the cause and effects of his teachings would have. Con has also Violated the terms of acceptance for this debate as he did not ask questions in the Questioning designated rounds of 3 and 4. So seeing that I have yet to make a contradiction and how Con violated the terms of acceptance and rules for this debate I can see no other acceptable route, but to vote Pro. Thank you!
Contradiction Debate

Pro has indeed contradicted himself. Both quotes from the bible state the man shall be put to death. This term, put to death, clearly means by the actions of judge and executioner. Pro has not practiced execution and has not been given the right by God, or those men appointed by God (in high standing in society, lawmakers, etc) to be the executioner. To go back in time and "kill" (as mentioned in the question) is an act of murder. Also, you had mentioned you would "kill Lenin before he became a communist." Lenin was baptized in the Russian Orthodox Church, which is a branch of Christianity. Before Lenin was a communist, he was a Christian, and later refuted his beliefs and was Atheist. http://www.paralumun.com...
Contradiction Debate

My opponent states that I have made a Contradiction, but he is incorrect as the Bible does support killing nonbelievers. Let me provide the verse. "Anyone arrogant enough to reject the verdict of the judge or of the priest who represents the LORD your God must be put to death. Such evil must be purged from Israel." Deuteronomy 17:12 NLT & "They entered into a covenant to seek the Lord, the God of their fathers, with all their heart and soul; and everyone who would not seek the Lord, the God of Israel, was to be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman." 2 Chronicles 15:12-13 NAB Lenin was a communist who believed in complete atheism. (http://sfr-21.org...) Thus showing that both of these verses justify the killing of Vladimir Lenin.
Contradiction Debate

Your side note is perfectly acceptable. Thank you for clarifying. However, I would like to point out a contradiction made. In Round 1, I asked if you would kill if you could go back in time. I gave you options on who you could kill, and you understood you were not limited to those choices based on your response of Lenin. In Round 2, you said you believe in God and his Word. Jesus asks us to love your neighbor as yourself. You would not be acting in any self-defense manner as to justify your actions when you said you would go back in time and kill Lenin. You would be actively going against the Word you believe in.
Contradiction Debate

1. I believe in God and his Word. 2. I never keep track of that. 3. They have a strong sense of brotherhood. 4. CBRN (Chemical Biological Radioactive and Nuclear) Specialist, but after I graduate collage I will transfer to active duty and become a JAG officer. 5. $10 million would go to my church of Most Pure Heart of Mary. 6. Sadly yes. 7. Breaker the Magical Warrior. (http://yugioh.wikia.com...) *Side note for question 2 last round. I am not involved in 3 or more clubs/sports.
Contradiction Debate

Thank you for your quick reply. I shall continue my questions... 1. As a Christian - Catholic (based on your profile) You believe in God and His Word (The Bible)? (No Reason...NR) 2. In Chess, do you know the shortest amount of moves you have won in? (If you don't know that is fine) 3. What made you join the Marines? 4. What is/will be your MOS? 5. If you won $100 million dollars from the lottery (after taxes) how much would you give to charities/churches as a donation? (NR) 6. Have you ever forfeited a debate on this website? 7. What is your favorite Yu-Gi-Oh card?
Contradiction Debate

I accept this challenge. I thank Ian for opening it up to me. This is an interesting type debate, I am quite new to the site as is and look forward to this different challenge. I shall start off with a few questions: 1. What is your favorite color? 2. If you play any sports (or other hobbies) name 3 of them (I don't need a reason) 3. Have you ever been in love? (with a girlfriend, fiance, wife....not family members) 4. Would you have voted for Obama or Romney in this past election? (Neither is a valid answer, need a reason) 5. Pro-Life or Pro-Choice (in terms of abortion...do not need a reason) 6. Assuming the future would not change, If you could go back in time, would you kill Hitler, Bin Laden, or Stalin? Thank you.
Contradiction Debate

During this debate the Pro has to try to not contradict himself while Con asks questions, he must give a reason why he thinks this way. 1st Round: Questions by Con. 2-4- questions and answers. 5- Good-ByeNo cussing. No bold letters. No confusing questions like: Do you not not not not not not like the letter X? BoP will be on Con to prove the contradiction and may not ask Pro weather or not a contradiction was made yet. Contradictions may be brought up anytime in this debate. You may ask only 10 questions per round. Try to keep the questions PG13 and appropriate for this website. Pro must answer the questions answered by Con. If any of these rules are violated all 7 points go to the other person. In order for Pro to win he mustn't make a contradiction and for Con to win he/she must prove that Pro has made a leggitamate contradiction.
would you rather have a (pro for) car or a (con for) motorcycle

Hello, I would like to start off with saying that a motorcycles do not have a greater vision field, due to that if you are wearing a safe helmet, you can't see past too far of your left or right. Also, if you aren't wearing a helmet, if you fall off your motorcycle, you are sure to get a head injury. Now, to the issue of evading. If you swerve too much, you can possibly lose control of the wheel. Also, you could possibly roll over. People that are good drivers in the car do not get distracted by the things you listed. Of course people in motorcycles don't have those things to worry about. People in motorcycles, however, might get distracted by an itch, too tight of a helmet, an untied shoe, or even something falling out of their pocket. Even though motorcycles don't have all the distractions of a car, they do have their own distractions. Now, also, I've seen motorcycle drivers drive crazy before, but I do have to say I've seen just about as many people in cars drive as crazy as some of those motorcycle drivers. Their are good drivers, and their are bad. Thank you, and your turn.
would you rather have a (pro for) car or a (con for) motorcycle

1. Motorcycles are dangerous. There are around 4000 deaths per year by people riding motorcycles. Source: http://en.m.wikipedia.org... 2. Cars can fit more people in them then motorcycles. 3. You can store stuff in your car. 4. Some cars can be cheaper or as cheap as a motorcycle. (Of course I must be honest, it won't be the best car ever.) 5. You can lock your car. This means that your car won`t be stolen as easy then a motorcycle. Also, again, you can put stuff in your car to keep it safe. 6. You don`t have the wind blowing in your face when while your in a car. I don`t know about you, but when I ride on my motorcycle at high speeds the wind can be annoying. 7. After a while of riding a motorcycle, your back can hurt, whereas in a car, you are pretty much sitting up the whole time. 8. You can talk to people in the car, either in person or Bluetooth. 9. You can hear your radio/Bluetooth in your car better. 10. Cars go faster. Many cars go faster than most motorcycles. This is important if you need to get somewhere faster. 11. Fewer people are able to work on motorcycles, whereas many people know how to work on cars. Good topic dude, also most of my sources are on experience. Thanks.
would you rather have a (pro for) car or a (con for) motorcycle

Cars are neat, I like them a lot and I've been fortunate to have had a few nice ones, but motorcycles have a long list of advantages over their 4 wheel cousins. In my experience, if you like bikes, there's a good chance you appreciate cars, trucks, boats and airplanes, too, not all to the same degree but a particularly nice example of any motor driven vehicle can bring on a smile. Eventually, though, most of us have to choose among the categories if we're going to invest our resources on one or two vehicles (or more) and when the choice has to be made, motorcycles have a lot to offer. Here's my personal list. It might vary from one person to another, your list might have items I haven't thought of, but I think these give you some food for thought. 1. You can fit 3 or 4 bikes into the space occupied by one car. Make maximum use of a small garage, buy motorcycles. 2. Motorcycles use less gas. 30 miles per gallon is on the low end and smaller engines can get triple digit mileage. 3. Motorcycles outperform cars. Sure, some exotic cars can keep up with a Hayabusa, but not many and the cost is usually 10 or 20 times the cost of the bike, or more. 4. You can rebuild a motorcycle if you're mechanically inclined, you don't have to do very much body work. Not being particularly skilled in body and paint, I appreciate this one. 5. Motorcycles cost less. Even classics and collector bikes can often be purchased for the price of a very plain used car. 6. Motorcycle riders are safer, they don't text on their phones while riding. 7. Motorcycle riding can be really cozy. If you want to be a little closer to your passenger, brake a little quicker for the next stop. ;-) 8. Motorcycle riding gets you out in the fresh air. Smell real pine trees, not the scent of a pine shaped deodorizer hanging from the mirror. 9. Motorcycle riding develops your coordination and balance. Brake and clutch levers for your hands, brake and shift gears with your feet, learn to balance at slow speeds, many drivers could never do it. 10. Best of all, there has never been a recall for unintended motorcycle acceleration. That's a start, how many more reasons can you add
We cant imagine "aliens" as long as there is no clue.

What I am trying to say is that an ET can be inferred; like it will have eyes, nervous system (brain), organs to support movement. Also by "intelligent", I mean intelligent enough who is capable of launching an invasion. Not intelligent enough to be a nematoda or mollusca. Have you ever wondered why eyes are important? Yes there might be different types of sensors possible. But, the eyes are the best sensor at any environment because they can catch the surrounding electromagnetic waves and extract information from it. We use visible light. (There are others who use infrared, like dogs and cats.) Humans have the best eyes in the planet, they can see as far as infinity clearly, which is certainly linked to our intelligence. A gastropoda or mamalia or euglena doesn't have good eyes compared to humans. That's because they are not intelligent either. So, if you have to be the most intelligent, you need to have the best sensor for information. EM waves carries the most anywhere in the universe that's why the aliens will have eyes as good as ourselves or might be even better. So, we can imagine, right? Yes I agree that the planets have different chemical and geographical composition. But that doesn't mean that a being living on that planet, who is intelligent enough, won't have these basic configurations of having eyes, brain, reproduction, movement organs etc. If the composition is different, say they are Nitrogen based, then there will be difference of shapes or sizes or colors or in their metabolism. But still anyone "intelligent" living in there will have the things needed to best survive in that planet. So we are able to "imagine" them, even if not 100% exact. It is true for other basic features. True for any planet at any distant galaxy. Say for example, an alien came down on earth and we can't even see it! Its invisible to our eyes! Well, that's quite unpredictable, right? Why would they grow such a feature to become invisible? It might be to become a good predator in their planet, which is not the point. The point is, still, they will have eye like sensors, movement organs and brain (even if those are invisible to us). Because its not possible to become "intelligent" otherwise. So, its not right to say that we can't even imagine them without any clue. We can! Based on the fact that natural laws are same everywhere and we are also a part of those laws. It doesn't matter if that planet is blue or pink. Invasion for energy and resources are just an example of many other possible reasons. Why do you think the intelligent aliens will be friendly to us when we, intelligent humans, are endangering hundreds of species everyday here in earth without any reasonable cause? If we love wolfs so much for being intelligent and turn them into our pet dogs, won't humans be the best pet the aliens can ever have?
We cant imagine "aliens" as long as there is no clue.

Sorry, but i have to be quick. I do agree. The laws of physics and chemistry are true also in far distances. But planets have different chemical compositions, that's why the evolution would go in a slightly different or very different way, depends on what these life's are dependent of. The converting of food to energy are the basics of life to exist. Next, the ETs probably also have sensors, but the sensors evolute via. the needs of surviving. For instance our eyes evolved from a long period of time, because animals needed to detect their environment via. light. But we have many types of eyes, you can check gastropoda eyes, mamalia eyes and the euglena owns a light detector. But all these species need their eyes to survive. But as we know there are some species who use other sensors instead of the sensor of detecting light. Agree, if we would know where a ET is coming from (and if we would know the properties of the planet) we could predict how it could look like, but as long as we have NO clues, we cant predict. We need evidence (never mind what) of the ET to predict their properties and look. Next an invasion of earth, because they have not enough energy is possible, but very very low. There is a possibility that they could use our materials via. a transform. No I haven't seen the movie Avatar.
We cant imagine "aliens" as long as there is no clue.

First of all, there are 125 bilion galaxies, that number sure isnt exasct, plus the universe is expanding. The chance that there is no life, except on earth is extremley low. For instance there are chanches that life exists even in our own solar system: (where and how) -in clouds of Venus -in caves of Mars -in the moon Europa (the ocean below ice) -on the moon Titan And probably even somewhere else. Please check:http://en.m.wikipedia.org...; That meteorite from mars caries interesting fosils. Thats why we havnt lost interest to search for life on mars. But the next thing is how life started: (the first lifeforms were extremophiles) 1. They could arrivd via. a meteriote, and started on a other planet 2. Or they acctualy started as combining complex molecules. As of any way, there are fosils of past species, and we evolved from monkeys and the analysis of different species prove that, we are not descendents of intelligent extraterrestrial life. Next, comparing the invasion of aliens with the invasion of america (when europe settled it). Why? This is conected with the agression, passion and geer that we got from our precestors (aka monkies), that needed this to survivie in their society and enviroment. But aliens have an different evolution or???? So why would aliens destroy/pet/slave ous? Since aliens have a different origin than they have a different evolution, astrobiology, chemestry and system. So hollywood and sci-fi actually made pictures how aliens would look like. But true ET's have probably different properties to wich they had to addapt on their planet. With a different chemical construction, how sure are you that these life forms are able to eat or even parasitize ous? Nematodes needed many many time to addapt to the specificated life and chemestry in a different species. And we are composed of amazingly many molecules, there is a very high posibility that we are toxic to them. But what about our geography and chemestry of our planet, these aliens sure couldnt survive in such an enviroment. This equals to the question:" If there were any silicon-like life forms on the moon titan, we sure would eat them all and walk through their tuff enviroment?" Well you sure wouldnt, so why would the alien do it? Its amazing that we invest more in making ET movies than actually trying to find them. Also its amazing that always when people see an UFO, thry think of aliens,but whats the definiton of the UFO? Its Unidentifinded Flying Object! Hope, you arent beliving in that god made everything.
today's children are robbed off their childhood

I'll start by defining a few terms from dictionary.com. robbed: rob Audio Help /rɒb/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[rob] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation verb, robbed, robï¿½bing. –verb (used with object) 1. to take something from (someone) by unlawful force or threat of violence; steal from. 2. to deprive (someone) of some right or something legally due: They robbed her of her inheritance. 3. to plunder or rifle (a house, shop, etc.). 4. to deprive of something unjustly or injuriously: The team was robbed of a home run hitter when the umpire called it a foul ball. The shock robbed him of his speech. 5. Mining. to remove ore or coal from (a pillar). –verb (used without object) 6. to commit or practice robbery. —Idiom7. rob Peter to pay Paul, to take something from one person or thing to pay one's debt or hypothetical debt to another, as to sacrifice one's health by overworking. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Origin: 1175–1225; ME robben < OF robber < Gmc; cf. OHG roubōn. See reave1] childhood: childï¿½hood Audio Help /ˈtʃaɪldhʊd/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[chahyld-hood] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation –noun 1. the state or period of being a child. 2. the early stage in the existence of something: the childhood of the human race. Note that to rob someone, they must have it in the first place. Also note that while one is a child, they have childhood until they no longer become a child. Therefore, the only way a child can lose its childhood is by no longer being a child. However, the resolution states that children are robbed of childhood. This would be impossible, because all children always have childhood. Regardless, I'm sure this is not the type of argument my opponent expected or wanted, so I will propose another argument. I will refute my opponent's contention: "their exposed to materialiastic things like television,gameboys,psp,video games etc.when i used to be a child i used to love to play in gardens,parks,beaches,and all the places near to nature but today if you ask a child to go to play or take them to gardens they hate it and find it very boring and better prefer going to a video game parlour." Let's examine the situation. My opponent states that what robs children of their childhood is materialism, namely, fascination with TV and video games. However, if the children indulge in these things, unless they are forced to against their will, they will certainly enjoy them. So these things are not stealing childhood, because they bring enjoyment to the children (in their childhood), which is actually doing the opposite.
today's children are robbed off their childhood

today's children are definetely robbed off their chilhood.their exposed to materialiastic things like television,gameboys,psp,video games etc.when i used to be a child i used to love to play in gardens,parks,beaches,and all the places near to nature but today if you ask a child to go to play or take them to gardens they hate it and find it very boring and better prefer going to a video game parlour.
