control=direction+timing

Pro has not presented any arguments to defend or clarify his position and loses by defaultt.To ClarifyPro's position is not clear and false without further explanation.Google definitions:Control - the power to influence or direct people's behavior or the course of events.Equals - a person or thing considered to be the same as another in status Pro is equating control with direction + timing, which is clearly false. While direction is important in some types of control, such as controlling a remote drone, it is often completely irrelevant to many types of control. Direction has nothing to do with controlling your mind. While timing is often important to control, they are in no way equivalent.Timing and direction are often involved with the act of controlling but they are now way equivalent. Pro appears to be confusing a loose relation with an equivalency or an identity.Pro's frog exampleIn an attempt to elaborate on the resolution Pro uses an example of a frog catching a fly. The same issues are there. While timing and direction are important in a frog's control of a flys fate they are not in any way equivalent to control but only involved in its execution.The fact remains that timing and directions are not even related to other types of control. Timing is not highly related to preparing for an exam other than the final date of examination. Direction is not relevant when controlling your appetite. Pro appears to be confusing the general process with strategies to accomplish the process.Control is a general term describing a process that applies to many different situations. Direction and timing are important in specific situations of control but aspects of control are in no way equivalent to control itself.-Pro has not made any argument to support his resolution and so it fails. Pro's resolution is unclear. The most literal explanation for Pro's resolution is obviously false.
On balance, it is benificial to place political conditions on humanitarian aid.

After quite literally two months, this debate is actually happening so that's exciting.A couple definitions which have been discussed with my opponent:Political conditions- The criteria which are applied to a specific situation regarding the behavior of the government (Summarized from the SDC). To clarify, political conditions muct be actual policy changes.Humanitarian aid- aid and action designed to save lives, alleviate suffering and maintain and protect human dignity during and in the aftermath of emergencies (humaitarianassistance.org) If my opponent has any issues with these current definitions, I urge him to contact me before accepting.The structure will be:R1: pro's caseR2: con's case pro's rebuttalR3: con's rebuttal pro's rebuttal and conclusionR4: con's rebuttal and conclusionSo, I will not be arguing during this round, and my opponent will not be arguing during the last round. If my opponent posts an argument during the last round, it will result in an auto loss.
Sword Art Online is a Good show

Well that's sad, my opponent has left the site.I shall continue anyway.Overall enjoymentAs far as I am concerned the show was excellent in providing entertainment. There is action, romance, and rivalries. As of fulfilling its goal of attracting the intended audience members, there is no set age. I know 50 year olds and 12 year olds that watch the show and continue to watch the new episodes every Saturday. As far as rewatching it, I have and continue to re-watch the show. Recomendations are the same way, I have hooked many friends and family members on the show. Most of the time that is all they talk about.
Sword Art Online is a Good show

Well that's disappointing. I'm sure Con had perfectly good reasons on why she forfeited so I ask voters to disregard it if they would.This is also is a biased topic but oh well.Overall art and animations.The overall art and animations of SAO were decent. I have seen better work and have done better work myself but it wasn't too bad.MusicThe music was very fitting to the moments in the story. An example of this is in SAO II, Asuna, Kirito, and Yui decide to buy the house that they lived in during SAO. The song playing during that scene wen't perfect with the mood.I can't think of anything else. So here you go.
Sword Art Online is a Good show

Alright so I'll be using Round 1 to explain the finer points in which we will be debating. Each round will consist of a different aspect in which the anime will be graded. As one would assume, for every round Pro shall be focused on explaining the Pros of each aspect, and vice versa. If there's anything you feel necessary to point out, feel free to do so. Otherwise, I will be jumping right in! Round 2 : Critiquing the overall story and plot - Here, both parties will be explaining why the show is good in terms of developement, plot transition, and possibly the likeliness of plot twists Round 3 : Character Developement - Express your opinion on the richness/diversity of characters, character developement, compatibility of traits, anything along those lines Round 4 : Art/Music - self explanatory Round 5 : Overall enjoyment - Was it appropriate in terms of providing entertainment? Does it fulfill the goal of attracting the intended audience members? Would you rewatch or recommend it to fellow acquaintances? (This category may be a little biased, but voters can interpret as so) Pretty simple concept. Pretty fun debate. And pretty much for pure amusement. I look forward to evaluating Pro's points, and thanks for accepting. Have fun.
man made causes of warming are probably significant, refering to global warming

I never said CO2 is negliglbe. I said it can be negligible. I acknowledge that CO2 isn't the only cause of increase of temp. If, the sun is causing the temp to rise because of higher than normal operations, then CO2 in that situation could be negligle, even if it's low. that addresses the hypothetical situations you mentioned about the ice age etc. You mention global cooling. the debate is over, because you act as if there's a magical switch taht the earth flips when it gets too hot or too cold. or you at least don't state how or why the earth goes through these cycles. if it's not because of the sun, then what is it? you have no argument.. speculation that there's an unknown phenomonon causing it isn't an argument. how am i suppose to? i can't because you provide nothing. if you provide it now, it's a cheap blow because i can't respond. since you haven't provided anything but speculation and platitudes, you've lost the debate.
man made causes of warming are probably significant, refering to global warming

Okay, so I'm sorry to assume Al Gore is beloved, lol, I just thought he might back your opinion up some and that is why you liked him. Next, I believe that I've made natural changes as clear as can be. Global Warming comes from Global Cooling because when the Earth gets hot enough, it must regenerate itself, end of story. Also, when you mention that solar flares can refute most of my arguments, you couldn't be any further from the truth. Solar flares are a natural element. Many speculate that they are the main reason, although there are others as well, for the last period of heating. Furthermore, if the Earth has become hot enough in the past to have to regenerate itself, then why can't it be happening now? We are well overdue for an Ice Age but if mankind is speeding up the Earth's temperature rise, then why haven't we entered one yet? Although you state that I have the burden of proof, which I really shouldn't since you made the first speech in this debate, I dare you to refute these two questions if you really believe that natural causes are so far-fetched. The correlation argument was only to prove that CO2 levels were at a high during a cold period and a low during warm periods. This proves that CO2 doesn't have a drastic effect on temperature levels. I never said that lower temps correlate with high CO2, just mentioned that CO2 isn't the main reason for warming. I don't really understand your argument against this, so I'll have to wait to argue this until you elaborate a little. As far as my degree information, I only gave you the hosting site, but if you want, I can give you the full site and you can see for yourself that it has been check and confirmed by climatologists and isn't outrageous information. On your next argument, this is only speculation of how it is going to be, furthermore, you are not proving that it is mankind's fault for this temperature rise, just that it is a rise. Finally, I just want to mention that this debate is already over. We are debating whether it is mankind's fault for global warming. My opponent has mentioned a few times in his last speech that mankind is negligible, that CO2 is negligible, that global warming isn't our fault. You must see that my opponent has already abandoned his own side of the debate. He's just using the "I'm right and you're wrong technique." Although effective in some debates, still doesn't prove anything one way or the other. Thank you.
man made causes of warming are probably significant, refering to global warming

i wouldn't say he's beloved al gore. he only got the ball rolling. his data was weak yet he acted like it wasn't. just thought i'd note. plus i think he's generally a tool, incidentally. you can't just rest on "natural changes" as the cause without explaining what they are. i do acknowledge saying "probably" is debatable, but your evidence so far is not conclusive of anything but speculation. i do acknowledge that perhaps i could try to find the data of solar flares etc, but given that you've pointed to nothing that could be the alternative to that two thirds other than vague "natural cycles", i don't think i have that burden. really, you should have the burden anyway, even if you asserted ithout evidence another source, since you're the one making the claim about the correlational information. you point out that rising temps corresponded with falling carbon in ice eras etc. if solar cycles are generally the cause of warming etc, then that could be the case because they are so high that carbon is negligible. the outweighing effects of solar flares actually can be used to refute most of your arguments. i do not know where you are getting the degree information you are citing... you can't just link a homepage that has no reasonably clear way of reaching the source of your claim. it looks like an internet company, not a solar etc company. on a google search... there's a lot of variation about how much we've increased. i do acknowledge that half a degree or so is pretty common, but i'd point out the other stuff: "How much have temperatures risen? During the 20th century, the average surface temperature rose 0.6ï¿½C. According to a report entitled "Climate Change 2007" from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the average temperature is expected to increase by 1.8 to 4ï¿½C between 1990 and 2100, with a corresponding rise in average sea levels of 18 to 59 cm. IPCC was established by the United Nations Environment Programme and the World Meteorological Organization in 1988." http://www.total.com... really though, all this stuff about how much it's risen doesn't have much to do with what is causing the rise. (it does lend credence to us being negligible, but it's not accounting for that other two thirds etc)

LM Classic: Logical-Master vs Mongoose

1. --- 2.a. That is a good point. However, Ganondorf can sustain hudreds of bombs and still not be knocked out. He can be shot in the face a thousand times and still not be knocked out. It's kind of hard to do with anything besides the Master Sword. 2bc. It wouldn't work if he was just moving at incomprehensible speeds, because then he would be blasting a hole in a wall or anything else in his way. 3a. OK, so he can't fire bullets at you. He can still hide. 3b. Clearly Magneta does not work on everything. Clearly, Master Hand can't be moved by anything in Brawl besides Tabuu's one-hit KO move, while no enemy in Kingdom Hearts is not moved by Magneta. Now we have an irresistable force trying to move an immovable object. It just depends on who has the higher limit. Considering that Master Hand could also spend his time trying to move downwards to counteract the force, it would probably do nothing. 3c. That was not gravity that forced Master Hand down. It was Tabuu's attack. The vaccuum's mentioned in my link don't affect bosses. This includes Master Hand. Master Hand also can't be grabbed or pushed. 3e. http://www.youtube.com... See video 1. In the upper right hand corner, there is the 5:00. After five minutes of fighting Master Hand, the player instantly loses a life. 4. If this would truly make Apocalypse indestructable as it should, then he would not be able to lose his soul either. He could do this at the very beginning. This transformation would involve him not using any of his internal organs, so stopping him wouldn't be possible. AWSOMENESS: 1. Clearly Lord Vader was in danger before he was harmed. He simply sensed that there were enemies near him. That does not mean that he can use the force to sense the future. If he instantly presses whatever it is (minimun of minutes), then Team L-M would no longer remember to fight him. This gives him time to change it to whatever he wants, out of danger. You only stated that he could sense using his force powers in an instant. You never responded to me wanting evidence of him using them to affect something else in a short period of time. Any arguing of further points would be futile on my part. If K gets to do his job, I win this point. Otherwise, I don't once K is dead. It is reasonable to conclude that it affects all of NYC, as that is what J wanted it to do, and K responded with it. It only works on human minds. This would be all of team L-M. Amazo would also be included, as he is still human. Even if you believed that his being a mutant would make him immune, remember that he copied the weakness of my team, which would include the fact that they are human. That would be all.
LM Classic: Logical-Master vs Mongoose

1. The Force issue I can't really prove anything here, so I guess I can't win this point. Although, I think Master Hand and Ganondorf could survive without oxygen or light. 2. a. Ah. I didn't know that they were "Heartless." Still, Ganondorf is not a Heartless, he is a Gerudo King of Evil. You can't prove that Ganondorf would be killed by a keyblade. He is not "ink-black in color, with yellow beady eyes" as the Heartless apparently are. b. http://www.debate.org... You have an updated rules list, which forbids teleporting outside of NYC. c. New idea: Ganondorf creates a magical barrier around team CON, which they cannot walk out off through ordinary means. See video 1 for an example of the barrier. http://www.youtube.com... 3. I guess I can't. Instead, he shall hide in the ground and shoot bullets from his fingertips! In no way does your source state how powerful this magic is. It just says that it becomes more powerful as magic rank increases. Also, Master Hand is immune to the power of vaccuums and gravity, so it probably wouldn't work on him. 4. You still can't warp him away. MY AWESOME STRATEGIES: 1. How fast can Revan find somebody using the force, then force choke him? It would take Agent K about a hundredth of a second to press a button on his wrist. Also, if you Force Choke him, Ganondorf could run over and press the button instead. Yes, it would. 2. Okay, Batman has serious skills. Then he'll control Spider-Man. Ganondorf has the power of EVIL. This is very powerful. 3. I guess he doesn't get to warp... then he hides in a tall buildiing and snipes team CON while they are trapped in Ganondorf's barrier. Apocalypse can do the same.
LM Classic: Logical-Master vs Mongoose

Yay. TEAM MONGOOSE: 1. Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs 2. Special Agent K 3. Master Hand 4. Ganondorf 5. Apocalypse http://www.debate.org... Each character should have a good enough description in the other UTW debate. I will start with refutations, then move on to other strategies. My opponent says that Raven can simply force choke Gibbs and Agent K. However, the Force is "an energy field created by all living things. It surrounds us, penetrates us, and binds the galaxy together." For this battle, it seems that the only ones left alive are rats. That doesn't leave much power for the force. Next, my opponent tries to kill Ganondorf with the keyblade. http://kingdomhearts.wikia.com.... I see no reason for it to kill him, as it is not the Master Sword, and gives no mention of repelling evil in its wiki page: http://kingdomhearts.wikia.com... . Also, "15) Teleporting out of NYC is prohibited." You can't send Ganondorf to the sun. Thus, he is not toast. Next, my opponent goes after Master Hand. Master Hand can just hide in the ground, as seen in this picture: http://www.debate.org..., and fire lasers that can go through the ground, as seen here: http://www.debate.org.... Then my opponent says that Revan will assemble a Thought bomb and blow up Amazo and Apocalypse, though Apocalypse could teleport away from it. Again, you can't teleport anybody outside of New York City. Now for my strategies: 1. Agent K http://www.youtube.com... http://www.youtube.com... See video 1, about 1:25. It shows Agent K using a special button on his watch or on his suit to erase the memories of everybody in New York City. He can use this on every member of team LOGICAL-MASTER at once. Then, he can board his flying car (see video 2, about 0:20) and convince each one that they are on team MONGOOSE. Every time it is about to possibly wear out, he can use it again. Also during this time, he can get the Master Sword and hide it somewhere of his choosing. 2. Ganondorf Ganondorf can take control of anybody from Team L-M, as seen in video 3. http://www.youtube.com... He would take control of Batman, and use him to fight the rest of team L-M. Wouldn't be too hard. 3. Gibbs Because Ganondorf now has the boomtube, he could give it to Gibbs, who could use it to warp wherever his gut tells him to, and from there, instantly snipe somebody, with his amazing sniping skills. This could easily work on Spider-Man, who is not bullet proof. 4. Apocalypse Apocalypse could turn his arms into guns, and warp around shooting at Team L-M, constantly. I reserve the right to use more arguments in the near future. Good luck.
JW Ideology

Of course you believe your religion is supreme, And whatever else you said. I also read your Reddit post, And that is no justification to wipe out an entire subcontinent just because you don't like Indian culture and behavior. Yeah, Some Indians are like that, But that's just some of them. Did he try to stab you, Or preach destroying about destroying the West? No? Well, Then that's a stupid thought. I have some Asian relatives, And I find them very strange. They have no table manners, I can't understand a word they say, And they can be very annoying at times. Despite that, They are still good people, And I can't imagine ever considering blowing up any part of Asia with nuclear weapons. The Nazis were a bunch of power-hungry idiots who had no real reason to hate the Jews other than to use them as a scapegoat for Germany's problems following WWI. So, If you agree with the Nazis and the KKK, You hate Jews, Gays, And immigrants, Along with all Indians apparently.
