Sleeping with Pillow vs Without Pillow

I'm game. Name is Strategy. I'm known for hallway swimming, Extreme hopscotch, Pocket pool, And special olympics (gold medal in axe throwing). National Security One of the most important benefits of sleeping without a pillow of course is National Security. Seeing as how most pillows are made in China, Its important that we as citizens stop using pillows in order to win the trade war with China. Not importing pillows of course, Helps reduce the trade deficit and prevents the evil Chicoms from funding their military with American dollars. Learn Survival Skills and Mental ToughnessAnother important benefit of sleeping without a pillow is the important survival skill of being able to sleep anywhere in all environments. This is an extremely important life-saving skill, In fact the science says that the human body can go longer without food and water than it can without sleep. Learning how to fall asleep anywhere -and catching sleep whenever you can- is also how many doctors, Lawyers, Engineers, MBAs, And ivy league students make it through grad school. Meanwhile, It is pretty much an established fact, Learning how to be comfortable while being uncomfortable is an essential tenant of mental toughness. Prevent Animal CrueltyMany pillows today still use feathers plucked from live geese. By refusing to use pillows, We prevent animal cruelty and improve our humanity. Prevent Pillow Talk and Theft of Classified InformationBy sleeping without a pillow, We prevent opportunities for pillow talk where we may incidentally expose classified info that could be potentially damaging to ourselves and others. Many government leaders, Business executives, Military generals, And intelligence professionals throughout history have been taken advantage of in this way, Where uncover agents have stolen plans and classified info that we sometimes whisper in our sleep. It is important then for high ranking officials to sleep without a pillow. Prevent Pillow FightsBy sleeping without a pillow, We reduce the chances for pillow fights. Pillow fights of course, Are extremely violent in nature, And it is important that we remove pillows from the bedroom in order to keep people safe. Prevent Pillow AddictionKeeping a pillow around can be addicting, And many adults are unfortunately still addicted to the same pillows they’ve used since childhood. This can lead to embarrassment, Health, And social problems. By sleeping without pillows, We improve our long-term wellbeing and lessen the chance of addiction. Moral ReasonsLying to children of course is one of the greatest evils ever, And nowhere is this more easily demonstrated than with the Tooth Fairy. By removing pillows, We lessen the chances of having to lie to children about make-believe fairies whenever they loose a tooth.

Sleeping with Pillow vs Without Pillow

Hey What's happening with these site I posted in 2nd round, But it's not showing there. If u think I forfited the round. Then atleast the site must shows Debate0 has forfited this round. ( And it's not showing, Empty their) But I say turly that I posted my counter of points in 2nd round with in time. This site fault. ( Not mine) On topic. My points on sleeping with pillow. The odds r 10 out of 100, Even I can 1000 That 10 people r their who r not using pillows. Because of medical condition, Illness etc. . But rest r still using it with day to day time. (90, 990) I Clearify that excessive use of any thing always causes harm. Then pillows r just that things which can also harm if and only extremely using it. The ideal conditions for sleep without pillow is straight posture. As we r human not a robot. We prefer random posture while sleeping, That's their pillow help us to be comfortable in any postures in sleeping. Which is tough in ideal sleeping position which r u suggest.
Family is more important than friends

In the Name of Allah Peace at you all! You proved that you are not that easy! To conclude my debate and the last round: Family is much important to me and all my life i found only my family watching my back and supporting me. Never found a friend supports me, my friends are too few ( maybe 1 or 2 that i trust), since i was a kid i got bullied because of my red hair so i never had a friend in my childhood, the only one that i had is my family. You said that blood is thicker than water, that's true and we can live without both of them for a while but the family is like the air we can't live without it at all! In Islam we say to our friends "brothers" so family is much important to our world! Friends are useless and they are just pain in the head (sometimes) i can live without my friends ,and i did that, but i can't live without my family. I believe in Blood, Honor and Pride, i can't find these three in friends. I don't know how Australians or someone else consider their friends but in our country and in this time don't trust your friend Any way my arguments sounds weird and maybe you don't understand me, don't blame me my english is not perfect as much as yours! I think you deserve to win ! but we'll let it to the judge ! Thank you for this once again and good luck to you and we'll have another debates together! And i'll will in them all ;) But let me give you an advise keep your friends close to you but not too close, don't give them a blind trust and watch your back by yourself! Have a good life!
Family is more important than friends

Good afternoon, Ladies and gentlemen, Of course, I respect your religious beliefs, but may I say I am honestly a bit confused by your arguments. Therefore, I cannot produce any rebuttals in this round. And now to conclude my case, In my first round, I pointed out that most of your life you are not a child so you don't need your family to look after you. As you get older friends naturally become more important then family in influencing your emotional life. Friends become your counsellor, your psychologist, your confidant, your mentor (sometimes). The person who is on your side not the brother or sister who wants mummy's attention and sacrifices you for it. A friend supports you emotionally - that's why we choose them rather than being stuck with a jealous family member. I also stated that because friends are usually round about the same age, they go through life's dramas together at similar times - dramas like puberty, marriage, having babies. So friends are more tolerant of your problems and less judgmental and preachy - because they're probably experiencing the same issues. None of the"when I was young, I..." lectures from parents. That's why people gravitate to friends than being stuck around critical families. Friends are less likely to take you for granted. In my second round I told you how friends enhance your social life. They possibly expose you to different beliefs which broadens your outlook and lets you feel comfortable, opening your mind to all sorts of people rather than just your own people - your family. I also talked about friend introducing you to a diverse multicultural lifestyle - about having authentic experiences with friends from different countries. What about friends of friends? How wonderful to meet more friends through your friends. More friends to choose to travel with, have fun with, build a history of memories with. Friends make life better. And so ladies and gentlemen - blood may be thicker than water - but friends aren't like water, slipping between our fingers. They're more like glue, sticking and holding on because we choose them. For better to be able to choose your friends than be stuck with you're family. And this concludes my part in this debate! Once again, thank you for accepting this debate, I wish good luck for the votes to come in and may the best debater win! :) Happy Debating, Caty44444444
Family is more important than friends

In the name of Allah, most gracious, most merciful! First, in this round i may use religious argument (Islamic ones)! Family has the greatest part of creating a better person, and i believe that not all families in Australia or the world are having problems, though friends are source of problems ( not all of them of course), also many bad habits are taken from friends for example, 30 % of Arabic young men had their first cigaret from their friends which they took it from another friend! so that makes them a heavy weight which will make us suffer in life! Meanwhile family won't let you do that and if you tried to do it they'll try to make you stop it! Secondly, family ( Islamic one specially) have a duty to their children because raising a good child is creating a better world which means a better society , we have an Arabic proverb says :" Tell me who's your friend and I'll tell you who you are" so if my friends was a bad one then i am bad too, and that is unfair for me! Many friendships are likely will end someday, and the friend will be lost, but why? well that because they'll have to marry and make their own families so the end of friendships are because family and that's a great sign of the importance of family much more important than friends, because the friend had leaved us to make a family! Friendships don't last for ever even if we want to keep them! Thirdly, In Islamic religion our prophet Mohamed (pbuh) said :"The best of you is the best to his family and I am the best amongst you to my family" and that makes the family comes first in the Islamic society and don't forget that Muslim's population is over than 1.8 billion! also the Prophet said "Do not ever sever your relationship with a member of your family even if he severs his relationship with you." and he never mentioned friends though he had many friends in his life! Finally i want to say Thank you for this great debate, it's an amazing subject and i am glad that i accepted your challenge good luck, also you are too young and when you grow up you will understand what i said and you will expire many kinds of friendships and as i always say may god protect me from my friend because i can protect myself from my enemies ! Many friends are traitors so be careful! Peace and good luck! ;) :)
Family is more important than friends

In the name of Allah! Peace, ladies and gentlemen First i want to thank my contender and I respect your opinion ;) :) Family is much important than friends because family is the first start of any person. It's true that we can't choose our families but we can consider it as a gift of life. To begin with the first argument. Family is what gives life to the human being and his first education, it gives love and respect! the man's first word of the child is MAMA or DADA - mother and father- so he is related to his family in a way or another. simply the family is the first school of us and the family members are the best friends of us! Whereas friends are just a heavy weight on us -most of them- also the man kind is not perfect so he might not choose wisely his friends which will lead him to a blocked way and to wrong paths. Secondly the family represent the reality of life and honesty, we are nothing without family, the family supports you in every moment of life ,in the first day of school , the first steps of you, in the night of the exams , in marriage day... so they are stick to you more than you do, in the first day of school the teacher called you with your family name, when you became a football player the write your family name in the T-shirt. So your family needs you more than you need it! Every human has a part of his family in his DNA but he has nothing from his friends! To sum up family is everything you could have a million friends but you will have just one family also the friends have and end just focus in the word friENDS so family is much much important. And as Michael J. Fox said:"Family is not an important thing. It's everything." Thank you and Peace !! Good luck Caty!!
Family is more important than friends

Good Morning/Afternoon, Ladies and gentleman, Family is not more important than friends because you can choose your friends but you're stuck with your family. We argue that friends are necessary for our emotional and social well being throughout life. Family is important when you are young because they physically look after you, but as you get older - and that is most of your life - family takes a backseat to friends, as we don't need them to look after us. In fact, family is the cause of many problems, and we are stuck with them In my first round I will be talk about the emotional benefits of friends and in my second round I will talk about the social benefits of friends. And in my third round I will sum up my arguments. And now to begin my case. Friends are like counsellors - friends share deepest secrets with each other - the secrets that nobody knows not even the family. Friends feel relaxed together - they participate in activities together, they share similar interests and spend lots of time together. Because of this trust develops - you develop confidence, whereas in families there is often competition between siblings for the parents attention. Your sibling often dobs on you to get the upper hand. You sibling may have totally different interests, but you're stuck with them - but friends and compatibility, you choose. Secondly, friends are generally in the same age group as you and understand the complications in you're life. They too are going through exams, bullying, puberty, romance, marriage, divorce, parenthood etc. They share your experiences and are more tolerant of how you handle things than family are - who are more likely to boss you, preach at you and put you down for your problems. I'd choose a friend for support but I'm stuck with my family. Lastly, you choose friends that understand you, they get you. They may not be exactly like but they respect you, and don't take you for granted. They don't tell you to do chores or expect you to be brilliant. Because you choose each other, you respect each other - more so than if you are stuck with a family member you don't get along with. Family is not more important than friends, simply because you don't get to choose them - you're stuck with what you're born with - no say in the matter - no control. But friends, you have a choice here, you can pick the ones that make you happy, support you and share you're ups and downs. They are human superglue. I choose friends forever. This concludes my first round of this debate. I'd like to thank my opponent for accepting this debate challenge. I appreciate any comments and votes. Feel free to challenge me to future debates. Thankyou once again! Happy Debating, Caty44444444

The only role of government is to protect persons and property from force.

I am truly sorry to see that my opponent has forfeited. Perhaps I bored him to death with my argument. That's one strategy, I suppose. 😃 For those interested in this topic, I would recommend reading "For a New Liberty: The Libertarian Manifesto" by Murray Rothbard. It is available at the following URL: https://mises.org... Finally, it you wish to debate this proposition as con, I am open to challenges. Thanks for watching the debate. I hope you learned something new.
The only role of government is to protect persons and property from force.

The role of the government lapses far over the small portion you believe. The government provides a lot of management that we've shown in our early years that we cannot handle as citizens. The government provides regulation of commerce, trade with foreign nations, provides our nation a means of communicating with other nations, and provides the groundwork for a judicial system that can end disputes and trials. Your proposition, that the government is responsible for us and our property, leaves the rest of it's duties up to absolutely no one. In nations other than America, in places like tribal societies, they have a form of government, sometimes in the form of a council. The council represents the ideals of the citizens and all of their wants and needs. It also provides a means of settling disputes between people. Yes, that can be considered protection, but it is also a means of providing for the citizens. In our nation we depend on our government for foreign commerce. The trading between other nations gives us as citizens more opportunities economically, and helps better our country, not protect it. I will rebut your position more once I have a clear indication of the direction of this argument.
Television has a malign influence on society

Definitions: Programming, n. Scripted or non-scripted television shows. Art, n. A field in which unique skills are applied to produce an object of quality. Not limited to fine arts. Every other word in this argument is used by its most common and unambiguous definition. Retort: Individual choice The statement "Television has a malign influence on society" is a faulty generalization. The fact is that there is programming (albeit obscure and minimal) that is designed to encourage critical thought, and plainly offers knowledge without an agenda. To say that ALL television has a malign influence is a falsehood. Secondly, television programming responds fluidly to market conditions. Media companies provide products (programming) that is expected and demanded by their customers. If there is a problem, it does not lie with the product of television programming itself, but with what people have patronized. Consumers watch television and the products advertised at will; therefore, modern television programming is a product of individual choice. A critique on television programming is a critique on the culture that created it; as the former is a product of the latter. The zeitgeist is not a product of television, but television is a product of the zeitgeist. Artistic expression How can one sensibly argue to limit the depth and breadth of today's television programming without also severely compromising our freedom of artistic expression? Arguably, television programming is a form of artistic expression, "malign" or not -it makes no difference. Expression is an end in and of itself. If you find the banning of certain types of books repulsive, then this too should have a similar effect. En garde!
Television has a malign influence on society

I would like to issue an open challenge on a debate regarding the matter of influence of TV on society.In this debate I am going to take Pro side, and going to show evidences that TV has negative influence on society. Interpretation:Television, n., any aspect of the broadcasting related to the content, etc., of television programmesMalign, adj., likely to become worse, harmful in the nature of influenceTo influence, v., to affect the nature, development, or condition of; modify; to have an effect upon.society, n., the totality of social relationships among humansAnything else what needs to be clarified you can mention in comments, or in first round.This round is for definitions, acceptance and basic point. Arguments begin in R2.
Government should not punish a person for harmless actions

My premise is that harmless actions should not be against the law and should not lead to a trial. Looking at an extreme example of Driving Under the Influence (DUI), which most people agree is a serious crime. Mothers Against Drunk Driving implies that in 2012, 10,322 people were killed in accidents caused by DUI. As everyone will agree killing a person is a serious crime, yet many look for reasons to categorize actions before an action also as a crime. The intent should only matter in determining between manslaughter and murder, intent should not be the crime. Killing a person in a vehicular accident is the same crime regardless of driving state. A person that is a known terrible driver for any reason is not punished for their lack of ability. A person that forgets to wear their government required glasses is not stopped at a checkpoint to ensure compliance. Just because a person is a hazard does not mean they should be punished. Just suppose, a person is unquestionably drunk that person drives their vehicle successfully to another location without harming another's person or property, and stays within traffic laws, this person should not be punished for being a potential hazard. Yet, if the person is stopped at a checkpoint this same person will be punished for DUI. No person's body or property was harmed, yet penalties are harsh. Lesser crimes against social norms, crimes like sodomy, prostitution, alcohol sales, property code violations, and the like are all crimes without harming another"s person or property. No person's social values are more important than a person's individual liberty. Therefore, for a law to define an action as a crime there must be a victim. I hope there is enough there to make it interesting for you.
Trans people being excluded from the military isn't that bad.

President Donald Trump just banned transgender people from joining the military. People are exploding over it, but I'm here to argue that people really shouldn't mind all that much. The military isn't known to be inclusive, in fact I was laughing at a comment on facebook I read because (In reference to Donald Trump) someone wrote in anger, "Maybe they should exclude fat people from the military to!" They do. I know twin girls that wanted to join the military, they are very strong, can fight, and are working to the olympics. They are also diabetic. They cannot join the military. I also cannot join the military due to several of my disabilities even though I have never lost a fight and come from a military family. The military often won't let people in if they even have allergies. The military can barely handle glasses, why are transgender people so special? I don't exactly see people screaming for disabled people to be able to join the military. And to get too my final point, if Trump is doing this out of spite than that was the stupidest possible move, literally taking them out of a position that they would be likely to die, and quite possibly saving their life!
All citizens should be required by law to vote.

Definition of Supposed supposed 1 [ səG2;p!3;zd, səG2;p!3;zid ] adjective adjective: supposed generally assumed or believed to be the case, but not necessarily so: "people admire their supposed industriousness" Yes, that is what it was SUPPOSED to do. But as the definition of the word brings out, it is not necessarily so. So it should not be forced to vote. ALso what about religious people. There are religions that remain neutral from politics. Are you going to force it on them to? That takes away their freedom of religious expression, which therefore violates the 1st amendment. As I have stated earlier, forcing people to vote is not the way to go.
