"Damnit Liz that was that man!" I hollared at her.She opened her mouth to say something but then closed it back up. Moments latter the lights flahsed off."Liz," Chris said. "Yah what is it?" She responded."What ever happened to Russle." She started to fittle with her hair and looked at a box over to her right. "Russle...." Right after she said Russle's name, the voice came on the intercome. "I don't think that we are on the right page."He took a breath, "I am here to proove a point.""What point? To kill us?" Chris fired back at him."I am here to show you that the government is not what it seems. It harms you. Feeds you lies. Keeps you scared so you can by things to support their evil agenda. This agenda they use to kill us. Millions of innocent people, children and even the unborn. this terrible thing is because of people like you. Corparations like you. So I am going to stand up to the government!""Do you want a fvcking medal?" I muttered under my breath."I am going to kill each and every one of you. I am going to tourtor you untill your heart bursts. I am going to tear you appart untill you renounce your faith. I am here because I am your worse nightmare. To make things better if you give me what I want then I kill you all easily and quickly, except the one I want." He then cut communications. "Sh*t, what the hell does he want now?" Chris screamed.

"Where'd he go?" I asked Chris. "I don't know man. All I know is he isn't getting in here, even with Barry's badge and key. I have the turnstile locked down, and that's his only port of entry. Unless, of course he can climb a flat 50ft wall. I would say that we are pretty safe until the cops show up." "Good." I said. "You should go back to point and try to find him on the cameras. Once we get an eye on him, we should keep tabs on his movements. In about 8 hours, we will be at shift change, and we should be able to inform someone of what is going on." He said trying to act calm. Truth was, we were all scared. None of us had seen a dead person like that before... And someone that we knew! I went back into point and started scanning the area once again with the vummi's. We were having no such luck however. I couldn't see anything, except for snow, and darkness. An hour went by. Liz came into relieve me. "Hey you, let me take over for a bit. You go take a break, okay?" "Alright." I responded lazily. I tried to pretend like Barry's death didn't effect me, but I knew I was lying to myself. I felt tears welling up at my eyes. How could anyone do this to another human being? Fvcking psychopath! This could never be un-done. Barry was dead forever. How did the man even know about this place? We were 50 miles from the nearest city, a government data center. It was a huge building, with massive walls surrounding it. There were multiple security ports to go through to enter the giant building, and probably somewhere around 350 Avigilon cameras posted around the entire building. Normally there were government officials here working on the place, but it was a sunday, so only the security officers needed to come in. I assumed that the man obviously knew what this place was, and probably had a specific goal set in his mind about what he wanted and how he was going to get it. I heard a voice from Point. It was Liz. Was she talking to herself in there? I started to laugh at the thought. What a wierdo. And then... I think she said "Judd". Judd was our supervisor... I quickly ran into point. "What's going on Liz?" "Hey, Judd is here, at the turnstile. I was just about to let him in." She said. "Wait, how is that possible? Judd doesn't start for another 6 hours?" I asked confused. She shrugged, and moved to press the button to open the turnstile. Then in that instant I realized what was happening. "Liz, no wait!" I moved to stop her, but it was too late. She had already pressed the button. "What's your problem?!" She asked. "Liz... That wasn't Judd..." I said wearily. We both looked up at the turnstile. It was pushed open, and nobody was there. The man was now on the site.....

I wasn't sure what to do. All I could see was Barry's decapitated head and my eyes were fixed on it. You could still here the whites of his eyes, his lids were just slightly closed. To figure that the last thought of him I had when he was still alive was, that fat lazzy bast@rd. The misterious figure took a step back and tossed Barry's head up into the air. He then drew back his machete and swung it forward almost as if he was spiking a volleyball. Barry's head didn't split in two like the figure was thinking but he did get the machete in there pretty deep. I turned to look at my coworkers, I just couldn't take the graphics to much. I saw Chris and his expression was stoic. Did he set this up? I thought. Impossible! I walked out of my thinking that it would be a good idea to walk around to clam my nerves. I didn't stray to far. They were still over by the camera. I took a glimpse back at them and they grouped in a circle. Probably discussing how they planned to stay alive. I jogged over to them so I could get in on what they were saying. Chris gave me the evil eye as I joined the little group. Phillip was the one who spoke up, "Well it's obvious that this killer is already in this place. I believe that the best thing to do is to build a parimeter around this area and rough it out untill morning. Also I'm sending Russel and Liz to go down to the supply room and get a few things. Chris, you, and myself will stay here untill they get back." Russle just shugged, but Liz looked horrified like she didn't want to go but she didn't say anything. After a moment of silence Liz and Russle walked of towards the supply room and we were stuck here. We started telling stories about our kids and our familes to pass the time, but after an hour or so the lights flickered servel times and I heard some unknown voice come over the intercom. "Fallow the rats to find my love."
Illegal Aliens

That's fine. I'll just give a quick rebuttal and summarize. "I will not stand still while illegal immigrants invade the United States of America consuming our resources, taking our jobs," --These illegal immigrants are primarily employed in jobs that the average, self-respecting American would never want to do. They often do the menial labor that the rest of society doesn't want to do, so the fact that they are taking these jobs is actually a good thing, because it means the legal citizens of America don't have to. "setting our flags ablaze, disrespecting our nation," --Why would they disrespect our nation? They come here looking for a better life. America comes as a blessing. They have no reason to set out flags ablaze. Rather, it's primarily the legal citizens who disrespect our nation, talking smack about presidents past and present, whing about everything our government does, and taking everything handed to them for granted. The average illegal immigrant probably has far more respect for America than your average citizen. "murdering our citizens, and using our tax dollars." --I don't see why they would commit murder at a rate any higher than your average John Doe American citizen, absent CON's blind assertion. I would also argue that they benefit us, rather than detriment us. As stated above, they take jobs that most Americans don't want, and further, they work for under minimum wage, which gives locally owned businesses the ability to compete with foreign companies. Any minor use of our tax dollars (how do they use our tax dollars, anyway?) is certainly more than recompensed by their hard work in bolstering our economy. --- These illegal immigrants are just as human, and just as deserving of respect, as anyone else in America. CON's assertions are not only unwarranted and most likely false, but ignore the humanity of illegal immigrants. He treats them as no more than an economic issue (do they bolster the economy, or don't they?) rather than treating them as humans deserving of respect. That is why I am PRO for "Resolved: Illegal Aliens."
Illegal Aliens

I'm not exactly sure what it is that we're debating, but I assume that my opponent is advocating that the USA take strict(er) measures to stop illegal immigration and/or send illegal immigrants back to their original country. I'll simply start off with questions for CON and give a rebuttal in round 2 once I know what exactly we are debating. Q1: What is the exact wording of the resolution that we are debating? (for example, Resolved: The US should not increase efforts to stop illegal immigration? Q2: On which side of the resolution (PRO/CON) does the status quo fall? Q3: What, specifically, are you advocating? A border fence? Stricter punishment? Taking over all other countries so that their is nowhere from which aliens can illegally emigrate? Q4: Should the United States only protect the rights of citizens of the United States?
Illegal Aliens

Hello, Thank you audience for taking the time to examine this debate. And thank you opponent, I hope we both learn interesting information, I would say good luck, but I would like to win. I know that I am debating against the odds since many people are okay with illegal aliens coming into our county. I do not hate anyone because of their race, but I will not stand still while illegal immigrants invade the United States of America consuming our resources, taking our jobs, setting our flags ablaze, disrespecting our nation, murdering our citizens, and using our tax dollars. Is there someone who would disagree with me that wants to have a friendly yet firm debate?
WWI was atrocious!

You have failed to make a first argument. That will count against you. Please proceed to actually have an argument for the next round or be automatically disqualified. On another note, all World War One did was lead to the second World War which really didn't change much, in fact, it was darkest era of human history, tens of millions of people being purged, imprisoned and sent to war. Stalin's death toll at about 20 million and Hitler's at about 13 million. Either way you look at it not nice guys. And let's not even say that WWI was the war that lasted 6 years when it was supposed to last 6 weeks. I find it disturbing how you find WWI to have been a necessary war. Franz Ferdinand was assassinated in June of 1914, and then Austria-Hungary sent an ultimatum on Serbia, yet if it wasn't for the allies system, the war would have just been between Serbia and A-H. But no! Germany, Russia, France, the US and the United Kingdom just had to get involved. After WWI, Germany was in an even bigger mess and so was Japan because of things happening in "pacific world" during the First World War. After WWI, Manchuria was invaded by Japan which caused a whole big mess that would probably have been prevented if WWI hadn't existed. Imperialist Japan was a result of American trade embargoes placed on Japan by the League of Nations, perhaps if Japan hadn't stuck in their nose in the wrong war and gotten involved with the Central Powers they would have been fine. And this time, try to actually state an argument sir.
WWI was atrocious!

You were only supposed to state acceptance. 1) Why or how was the war needed? If we didn't have it, Germany would have lived in ruins and then some new rule would have came in overtime and changed things. All WWI did was bring Germany under embargo and suppression, causing Hitler to rise to power as chancellor in 1933 and then soon enough, dictator. After WWII, Hitler died and his Nazi Commanders were sent on trial at the Nuremberg Trials. 2) Most men did in fact get mowed down. WWI was the first days of the machine gun, so these infantry squads would run into thousands of bullets and just die. Then the opposing side would attempt the same thing. It was a game of do I run or hide? 3) Trench Warfare is in no way, shape or form the best kind of warfare out there. It was very stupid, as partially explained in my second response. Trench Warfare left soldiers digging and hiding in trenches and lead Germany's military out to the ocean when they planned on attacking France. The trenches were built from one side of the area out to the ocean and Germany had to go around through Belgium into France, where the war took place (Belgium and France). All they would do is sit in their trenches waiting to run out and attack yet fail and die. This was how most of the First World War took place. Those are my responses. Also, ever hear of trench foot? Yeah, I wouldn't want to end up with that. State your next argument please.
BLM is NOT worse than the KKK

First off let me thank the author for inviting me to this debate! Let me say that my overall contention is to demonstrate that BLM or Black Lives Matter is currently not worse than the Klu Klux Klan, so I submit in the following some beginning points that will allow me to create an auxiliary for further substantive proofs in my favor in the future rounds. To help with discussion, allow me to first define what BLM and KKK stand for in accordance to their organizations: According to Wikipedia, Black Lives Matter is "an international activist movement, originating in the African-American community, that campaigns against violence toward black people. BLM regularly organizes protests around the deaths of black people in killings by law enforcement officers, and broader issues of racial profiling, police brutality, and racial inequality in the United States criminal justice system. In 2013, the movement began with the use of the hashtag #BlackLivesMatter on social media, after the acquittal of George Zimmerman in the shooting death of African-American teen Trayvon Martin. Black Lives Matter became nationally recognized for its street demonstrations following the 2014 deaths of two African Americans: Michael Brown, resulting in protests and unrest in Ferguson, and Eric Garner in New York City." Using the OP's link, BLM was birth as a grassroots movement based on the perceived failings of the justice system from the Trayvon Martin killing. See:http://www.theguardian.com... See:https://en.wikipedia.org... The Klu Klux Klan represents "three distinct past and present movements in the United States that have advocated extremist reactionary currents such as white supremacy, white nationalism, anti-immigration, and, especially in later iterations, Nordicism, anti-Catholicism, and anti-Semitism, historically expressed through terrorism aimed at groups or individuals whom they opposed. All three movements have called for the "purification" of American society, and all are considered right wing extremist organizations." Although I'm not privy in citing Wikipedia, I felt that it was the most basic research source that could define these two groups basically. As we see in the beginning, the differences between both groups is one is founded on the principle of social injustice, while another is created off the principle of white nationalism. Although some critics may cite that black lives matter are responsible for the destruction of property, black lives matter is a leaderless organization composed of many groups such as Black Youth Project 100, the Dream Defenders, the Organization for Black Struggle, Hands Up United, Millennial Activists United, and the Black Lives Matter national network (see:http://blacklivesmatter.com...). Whereas in recent events the KKK as well as other white national groups are responsible for influencing the likes of Dylan Roof and Frazier Glenn Miller (who gunned down several people at a Jewish Center in 2014). See: http://www.usatoday.com... I would assert my opponent would have to demonstrate that black lives matter are as dangerous and/or can produce individuals of this magnitude of hate.
BLM is NOT worse than the KKK

My opponent has stated in the following thread he would defend that the Black Lives Matter movement is not worse then the KKK. http://www.debate.org... My interpretation of the resolution and all it entails is that the burden of proof is split between me and my opponent, and since the word "is" is used, that it refers to the present tense. Present tense in this scenario is a vague term, so let's make it a bit more clear. To be fair we will define present tense as occurring after the year 2013, since that is relatively recent, and because that is the year that Black Lives Matter (here after referred to as BLM) was formed. http://www.theguardian.com... My opponent can begin in round one and skip round 4 or he can just accept the debate and we can both debate up to round four. Whatever he feels is more appropriate.
Abortion is a terrible act, but is justified.

Con, I must apoligize sincerely for wasting your time... Family emergency. My father today just declared he considered suicide, I cannot focus on debates right now and must focus on my family at the moment. Please just let's type random things in each round until it ends by default. I am terribly sorry for wasting your time, but I thank you for accepting anyways. My father needs me right now is all.
Abortion is a terrible act, but is justified.

I do not agree that Abortion is a terrible act, though it is perhaps a bit financially irresponsible, as contraception are readily available at hand. Every cell in my body is alive, but I do not particularly get angry over it if I happen to kill some of them off doing whatever that I do. Indeed, it would be ludicrous to call the destruction of a few cells murder or something of the like. I understand that pro-lifers argue that life begins at conception, but if that is so, they should take into consideration that women naturally flush out fertilized eggs during their period [1]. Each of these eggs have a potential to become sapient human beings, but nature and chance play their game and only the "fittest(sometimes just the luckiest)" survive. It would be silly to say that this is a terrible act or anything immoral, as this is a natural bodily function. Now, aborting a fetus at its various stages becomes more complex of an issue, but there are already laws in place to protect fetuses at a certain stage of development. And I agree with these laws, as it hardly seems moral to kill something that is almost a baby, simply on the virtue that it is still in the womb. However, most abortion cases are not like this[2]. They are generally performed when the fetus has no fetal viability. That said, the brain is developed around the 3rd gestational week along with the heart and other vital organs, but that does not necessarily suggest that the embryo has any sort of consciousness. In fact, according to neuroscientist Christof Koch, even a born baby does not have consciousness (self-awareness) [3]. That said, I'm not saying that it is okay to kill babies because they do not have self-awareness (please don't misinterpret it that way! ). I am merely pointing out that if a fully developed baby has no consciousness, an embryo/fetus at ~12 weeks (the common abortion time) has even less its capabilities/faculties, meaning it virtually has no capabilities/faculties at all. This brings us to the question of potential, which is a silly argument, as potential works both ways. Forcing a baby to be born/had in an unsafe/hostile environment with a neglectful parent is just as likely a potential (if not more) than its counterpart. We hardly have enough orphanages to account for the current orphans, imagine if every aborted fetus was to be filled in an orphanage instead. Also, the potential to be human does not make something human. That is like stating that I am the president because I have the potential to be so. Overall, I do not believe that abortion is terrible or evil. It is at best a regrettable, irresponsible choice (having unprotected sex) that results in taxpayers/parents having to cover the bill. I believe the resolution is negated. As a neutral ground is already pretty much a pro-choice position. And pro-choice is hardly advocating killing babies but simply aborting potential ones from being born. And as fertilized eggs flushed down the toilet every menstrual period has/had the same potential of being born, the argument of potential is suspect at best. I look forward to my opponent's response.
Abortion is a terrible act, but is justified.

Abortion is an act that is not good, its not right, but it is justified. I stand here as a neutral ground to both sides, the middle ground between pro-life and pro-choice. I am willing to debate with either side because I disagree with them both. Abortion is an act of ceasing a life to be born into existence, which in my book is not technically killing, but it is still preventing a life from being born. I do not know what to call it, but it is not murder. Pro-life: It is a justifiable act because you have to look at the reasons that usually abortions are considered. They are usually considered because of rape, or parents do not have enough money to afford the child, or it is the child of a mere teenager. And plenty of other reasons. We live in a world where so many bad things can happen, and the cause of pregnancy can most certainly be the result of a number of things. And mind you, not all abortions are justified, but some are. You cannot ban all abortions for being immoral to your set of beliefs just because a single abortion was made on terrible grounds or it doesn't match YOUR set of beliefs. Pro-choice: On the other hand, abortion is a morally bad thing to be considered. Whether it be justified or not, at the end of the day, it is still the prevention of a child to be born. A child that has the chance to live taken away, and it can very well be a selfish act. Not all decisions of abortion are made on good-natured grounds, and nor is abortion itself good. It is a terrible event, and most likely even the mothers who have to go through it feel the same way, because a child of their self is being denied access into this world, just by fate of circumstance. I know that I am likely going to attract both sides of the huge political parties; republicans and democrats, and I know they will likely be upset with me. But that is why. I believe there is a neutral ground, and I invite being proved wrong. So good luck to whoever the opposition shall be.
