Ultimate Team War - Ender's Game 2

First, I would like to point out that should I refute most of my opponent's plans, my plan from Round 2 remains. 1. Wes My source was to show that Wes had explosives. If my opponent insists that the current idea is impossible, then Espeon and Umbreon are at level 50 instead. How's that? 2. Teleport/Gravity A low-leveled Togepi has managed to teleport many people along with itself the first time it used Teleport. A Lv.100 Alakazam, with an IQ of 5000, would be able to teleport the entire thing easily. Its high IQ in addition to its psychic abilities would let him find the location of the sun with ease. It also wouldn't be difficult for him to not teleport Team Pro. There is still gravity, its just really, really small. This gravity, when intensified by Gravity, can become very restrictive and force Team Pro to stay on the ground. 3. Deprivation/Block My opponent is making assumptions. Moltres never has to leave the Preparation Room. He can use Heat Wave on the air, not Team Pro. The oxygen in Team Pro's preparation room would floar into the Battle Room to be used up, depriving Team Pro of oxygen, and suffocating them. They only don't need oxygen in the video game universe, not real life. 4. Snagging In that case, Machamp throws the Master Balls instead, with 100% accuracy and amazing speed! 5. Taunt Ah, then in that case throwing Master Balls wouldn't be an attack. Umbreon uses Snatch at this time instead. 6. Power-Save Belt If Machamp can't remove his belt, then Paper Mario can't use his Block Block. They both create "unstoppableness." 7. Sleepy Sheep The only reason that Sleepy Sheep does as my opponent describes in Super Paper Mario is because it is a largely 2D world, where the Sleepy Sheep can simply exist in a separate 3D dimension and not interfere with the terrain. Because reality is 3D, the Sleep Sheep are stopped and can't put Team Con to sleep. 8. Brain Crushing My opponent doesn't seem to realize the difference between the game and reality. In reality, there is nothing stopping Alakazam from crushing Lucas' brain. Thus, Alakazam crushes Lucas' brain. 9. Dynamic Punch Aerodactyl can't use Sky Attack if he is restricted to the ground by Gravity. Also, Machamp would then be able to use a single Dynamic Punch, after being reduced to 1 HP by any attack used by Aerodactyl, which would definately KO Aerodactyl, knocking his head clean off. 10. Faint Attack My opponent seems to imply that Slaking can Teleport. Teleport is a move that can be used to flee from battle. This would let Alakazam flee from the Faint Attack, without being chased. Remember, Faint Attack does not work on Flying Pokemon. The same would apply to teleport.
American Forces Were Ineffective in the Middle East because of Our Restricting Rules of Engagement

I will debate this topic with Pro. While I do believe that the modern rules of engagement must be revised, I also believe that there are more significant underlying reasons why the US military has struggled in the Middle East. I do not think an army should cite the rules of engagement as an excuse for ineffectiveness or failure. Since Pro did not provide any rules, I will provide a few basic rules to abide by: 1. No trolling, cursing, or inappropriate conduct. 2. Sources must be cited, however prior knowledge of the subject is always permitted. 3. Both sides may only cite the Middle East and US conflicts in that region for their argument. No other outside conflict shall be permitted as part of an argument. Those are some basic rules. The first two are used universally in practically every debate (so I see no reason to cite those rules) while I decided the third rule was necessary for the sake of this specific debate. Good luck to Pro!
American Forces Were Ineffective in the Middle East because of Our Restricting Rules of Engagement

I'll be arguing that one of the main reasons that American forces were so ineffective in the Middle East was because our Rules of Engagement were too restricting. Round 1: AcceptanceRound 2: Main ArgumentRound 3: RebuttalRound 4: Closing StatementGood luck to my opponenet. Also thank you to The-Voice-of-Truth for pointing out the flaw in my previous debate topic. Due to him pointing out the flaw, I was able to make this one! I'm a bit new to this for this is my first actual debate, so thanks for the help!For anyone who is unfamiliar with our Rules of Engagement that were enforced in Afghanistan, and other places in the Middle East. "Current rules of engagement require U.S. troops to confirm that a Taliban fighter is armed before they can fire, which has resulted in some aerial gunships being denied permission to fire even after reporting armed targets on the move."

Bill O'Reilly is more than likely a racist.

I am a little disappointed to see Pro forfeit the final round. However, without further ado I will post my conclusion of the debate, as there are no needs for rebuttals as I already have conducted them in the previous round and pro, as to their forfeit neither proved nor disproved said rebuttals and arguments. Conclusion:The arguments posted by pro were easily negated by Con, as well as through Pros own definition of the word 'racist', being defined as ' a person who believes that a particular race is superior to another' by Pro. According to this definition none of the statements claimed to have been said by Bill O'Reilly as stated by Pro actually imply any sort of racial superiority of white individuals such as O'Reilly over individuals of any other race. Or any other race being superior to any other one. As such Pro has not provided evidence of any racist statement, activity or context connected with Bill O'Reilly. Thus there is no evidence to dub O'Reilly a racist nor to claim that he 'more than likely is a racist'. Pros arguments simply did not have anything to do with racism. As Con I however, according to debate rules, have a Burden of Proof to fulfil. I did this by providing evidence of Bill O'Reilly promoting the equality of White and Black individuals, which is the exact opposite to racism as defined by Pro, as equality negates superiority, as well O'Reilly mocking a White Supremacist, which would make no logical sense if O'Reilly was racist or shared similar beliefs. These two arguments provide evidence as to my standpoint, that 'Bill O'Reilly more than likely is not a racist'. The final stand is that Pro did not provide any actual evidence to prove O'Reilly being a racist while Con provided 2 pieces of evidence to prove that he is not. Thus the arguments are standing at 0 (Pro) to 2 (Con). Also Con provided evidence that O'Reilly's statements used by Pro were taken out of context, as well as them not being connected to racism in any way. Thus I, as Con, have to stand by my original thesis, that Bill O'Reilly more than likely is not a racist. Kind regards to Pro for the debate and their arguments, as well as all Readers and VotersHave a nice day!
Bill O'Reilly is more than likely a racist.

Kind Regards for this Debate, I am very much looking forward to it. I will however, not debate that "Bill O'Reilly is definitely not a racist", as this is not the contrary to your thesis. The contrary to your thesis, "Bill O'Reilly is more than likely a racist" is 'Bill O'Reilly is more than likely not a racist'. I will debate the contrary as I have stated here and hope that this is accepted by you. I will share the BOP more than happily, agree with your rounds and agree with your definitions. To make this clear, I am not representing or defending O'Reilly, but simply arguing against the thesis. I will also debate in a fashion unknown to O'Reilly, not obtuse nor brusque and will conduct the debate in a civil manner. Once again, kind regards for this opportunity, I am looking forward to your arguments.
Bill O'Reilly is more than likely a racist.

This debate is open to anyone interesting in taking the Con position.I will be arguing the thesis:Bill O'Reilly is more than likely a racist.And the Con will argue the contrary, that Bill O'Reilly is definitely not a racist.Burden of proof is shared.Debate Itinerary:Round 1: Acceptance and DefinitionsRound 2: Opening arguments, (Con's opening arguments may consist of rebuttals)Round 3: Rebuttals and Closing Arguments. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Definitions:Bill O'Reilly: That one obtuse host of the O'Reilly Factor on the Fox News Channel.More than likely: Meaning very likely to be.Racist: a person who believes that a particular race is superior to another (and in this case, we can assume Bill believes the white race to be superior.)---------------------------------------------I'm willing to be a little flexible with the rules and details, and if you have any suggestions please mention so in the comments or feel free to message me. Despite my abrupt approach to this debate and the possibility of a brusque opponent, I still hope to have a good civil debate! :)
The oppression of women in the church.

I can understand at first glance how one can misunderstand the role of women in christianity. Because all books of the bible where written before the turn of the first century A. D. (C. E. ) there is a tone of women being inferior. But many of the teachings of the bible would not be acceptable to this day the stonning of people the persecution of homosexuals and the notion of retaliation or retribution, ex. "an eye for an eye". Your main argument has be leadership roles in reguards to women. I personally am of the Catholic denomination where there are males from Priests, to Bishops, Cardinals, to the Pope but in the faith of the females of our church are the Sisters (nuns), Mothers (higher level nuns) and Mother superiors. In the hispanic faith specially in Mexico Mary the mother of Jesus and othe famous Virgins are looked up too, often worship. You have a feminist view of the religion I feel but if you feel your church or your denomination is treating you poorly then it is a perversion of Christisnity and I suggest you change.
mac is better than windows

You say Mac Is able to upgrade with Google are you retarded Google does not upgrade Mac's Google is a search engine and much more but does not upgrade Mac. Mac does have limited games the majority of games are Windows only Mac is not built for games it is built for work and also Mac does not record well for that you need a PC not a mac. They don't record very well as I have stated Mac is a work computer not a gaming computer. You have to also buy movies and music from iTunes Store but also Windows has 10 times for free software then mac and on top of that there is way more games that are free to download then Mac will ever have. Windows also is free to update but not upgrade same as Mac os. Now you claim Windows does not update well sir you a Have never been so wrong Windows does update for you all you need to do is click install update and hey presto it's updating. You have only presented false information about Windows can do everything you claim it can't you sir are so wrong and all of those claims have been dismissed due to false information.
mac is better than windows

ok u do not need to buy a hole new computer to upgrade a mac. mac is itergrated with google. mac also dose not have a limit on games. Mac is also easer for geting things like windwar or 7zip. u can also record in 1080p on a mac and come with a recording softer on it. windows may have media center but u have to buy movies and apps for that to. Mac also has itunes app store which gives you a ton of free games and soft ware. The software updates are free. And updates like mac osx are amazing. mac also update for u dose windows no it dose not. windows u have to go out and buy a hole package for the system not mac.
mac is better than windows

Mac has apps as you call them so does Windows Windows media center, Windows movie maker just to name a few but does Mac have compatibility for a large amount of games? No I didn't think so it has limited Amount you can install and does Mac have compatibility to upgrade without having to buy a whole new computer no. Also there is better software for Windows then Mac like better virus protection software better video editing software on top of that at least you can play a game and record it at 1080p without any issues. And now with Windows 8 it has become 10 times easier to navigate through then Mac will ever be.
mac is better than windows

Over the course of this debate I will be sticking to 3 major contentions. Definitions Mac - Any x86-Based (to exclude mobile devices) computing device created by apple PC - Any Non-GSM (to exclude mobile devices) capable devices, that are not embedded devices, that have unlocked bootloaders, that are not created by apple. Regardless of poor wording, the intent of the above is to exclude all phones, and tablets (with locked bootloaders) as well as embedded devices. But first in addition to the aforementioned definitions I will be providing "assumptions" that I propose simply for the purpose of argument. The first is that the targeted audience that we are speaking of, in terms of "superiority, is the low-high-end user, low being Chromebooks or other UMPC's such as the Nokia N900 or the raspberry pi, the high end being enthusiast PC's with latest generation i7's and SLI/Crossfire, that is made from parts. In addition to that audience, I assume we are also targeting the server audience, from the low-end to the enterprise-end user. Low end, being a home DNS server running on a raspberry pi, High end being whole floors filled with racks of high-end servers, used to serve thousands-millions-billions of customers/consumers around the world. For fairness to my opponent, I will assume that a "hackintosh" PC does not count as a "Mac" or as a "PC" and is irrelevant to this argument. In response I ask that the equivalent, Linux on a Mac, does not count as a "Mac" or a "pc" and is just as irrelevant. Seeing as both are "exploits/(I hate to use this word but...)hacks" Now on to my contentions. My first contention is that PC's are a better value than Macs. See my first piece of evidence: http://i.imgur.com...... And my second: http://i.imgur.com...... As is clear, for the even LESS than the Mac I, I got a PC that was FAR superior in power to that Mac, packaged with 680 bags of cookies, (my favorite cookies too :D ), 7,200 pop tarts, 1,450 bags of hot cheetos, 2250 bags of lays, and 1300 bags of regular cheetos. I believe my point has been made. My second contention is that PC's are more freedom-respecting, than macs. Macs, are locked down. On a Mac, I cannot access the EFI. My inability to access the EFI leads to: My inability to overclock my CPU. My inability to change the boot order of a mac. My inability to boot from a live cd/usb/removable storage. My inability to ... (the following are inabilities related to RAID Put my computer in Raid 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 0+1 and pretty much every other minor raid level except for the major levels, 0 and 1, and the minor JBOD raid.
breaking a promise is always immoral

In conclusion, breaking a promise is not ALWAYS immoral. Certain inevitable, unpredictable circumstances may arise that prevent one from fulfilling a promise. If one does all one can do to fulfill a given promise, it would be unjust to label their actions "immoral". After all, they did all they could do to fulfill the promise. The promise remains broken, but not due to immoral or inconsiderate behavior. There are also various instances where honest, innocent ignorance might lead to a mistaken promise, where the breaking of said promise is for the benefit of the promisee, and therefore, not due to immoral or inconsiderate behavior. Thus, I rest my case, and leave the decision to the voting public.
breaking a promise is always immoral

Unexpected circumstances arise from time to time that prevent one from fulfilling promises. I could go even further to give examples of potential, unplanned for snow storms, flash floods, earth quakes etc. that prevent one from getting to intended destinations. Rare circumstances indeed, but valid nonetheless and applicable to the matter of discussion. This is to make no mention of your defensive counter argument stating that it was her responsibility to leave early. That it was her *responsibility* to expect the unexpected. No one said it was reason to excuse the breaking of said promise, but that the breaking of said promise was not due to immoral behavior. I'm sure everyone can relate to a situation in which an unexpected circumstance prevented them from getting somewhere they needed to be, or prevented them from fulfilling a promise. Sure, the promise was broken, but not due to immorality. Consider example two: While hanging out with friends, Nick hears of a new candy bar called a "Snickers". Eager to taste this new candy bar, upon arriving home, Nick makes his older brother Tom promise to buy him this new candy bar when he stops at the store later. Tom agrees. Tom goes to the store and picks up a Snickers at the check out line. After checking the ingredients, Tom realizes the Snickers bar contains peanuts. Nick is allergic to peanuts. Tom puts the Snickers back and buys Nick a different, peanut-free candy bar. Thus, the promise was broken, but if Tom had fulfilled his promise it would have endangered Nicks health; therefor, the action was not immoral.
breaking a promise is always immoral

let me say that the example given by my opponent was very weak because if the person who told the promise was very willing to attend, then that particular person may come earlier so that if theres an accidenty like the one being used,the person can prepare and if the person was truly wise she would have checked her car before going to the show, its like going to a war without knowing how many weapons you have. Do you think that the boy would believe that kind of excuse if it is not that credible ?
breaking a promise is always immoral

Let me first start off by requesting that potential voters choose the winner based on the strength of their argument rather than their position in this debate. Breaking a promise is not ALWAYS immoral. Sometimes promises are broken by inevitable circumstances. Ex: Sally asks Sam to watch her sing at the talent show on Saturday. Sam assures Sally she will come by promising so. Sally performs at the talent show, but Sam never shows up as she had promised. As it turns out, Sam was on her way when her car died and she was unable to get a lift from anyone else in time to watch Sally perform. Thus, because she made an attempt to fulfill the promise, her breaking of said promise is no longer immoral because she did everything she could to get there. If there were no signs of the problem prior to her promise being made, she couldn't have even suspected such a scenario. The promise is still broken, but it wasn't her fault; therefore, the action was not immoral.

Phillies Will win The World Series This Year.

Refutations:"Yes I agree with what you say, but your agrument is base on my facts"Yes it is based on facts, I dont know about your facts. "Simply saying Hard work always pays of"It usually does. "With the offensive power and hitters on the phillies lineup they are proven to beat anybody on any given day. "I have proven the Red Sox's offense and defense to be much stronger than the Phillies. "because we all know in the National football League any thing can happen on any given sunday"So you're agreeing with me that facts do not lie. The facts put on the table cripple your argument. "Just don't forger yet that the phillies has one of the best pitching staff in all of baseball. "I concede that they have better pitching, but the Red Sox's offense coupled with their defense can overcome any pitching staff. Conclusions:1. I concede that the Phillie's pitching staff is superior to the Red Sox (not by much though).2. I have proven using statistics that the Red Sox offense is much stronger than the Phillies.3. I have proven using statistics that the Red Sox defense is much stronger than the Phillies.4. Pro has failed to refute any of my arguments or refutations.
