Minimum Wage

Pro, Thank you for your patience. To begin I would like to highlight the economic detriment caused by the government mandating minimum wage laws. This manifests most exclusively, Notably and ironically in the adverse effect it has on the employment rate of low skilled workers (LSW henceforth), The proposed class of workers targeted by proponents of raising of a minimum wage (MW henceforth). I say ironically not with tongue in cheek, But to underscore the contradiction between the supposed good intentions of MW proponents and the actual effect of the laws on the LSW. Some of the effects seen are as follows: 1) Increased MW results in decreases in employment of LSW due to the cost of employment per employee 2) Increased MW results in decreases in Full-Time positions and increases in Part-Time positions to cover the cost 3) "MW results in increased cost of products and decrease in product quantity 4) "MW results in a decrease in customers 5) "MW results in closed businesses due to #4 (most notably in Seattle after the increase to a $15 MW) 6) "MW results in closed businesses leave the workers who benefited from the "MW unemployed 7) "MW dissuades future entrepreneurs from starting businesses in these areas, The areas in most need of jobs 8) "MW impacts net job growth and future employment -In a survey of the 22 countries in the European Union from 2004 to 2012, The countries with no MW laws consistently stayed roughly 8% lower in their unemployment rates than their MW law counterparts. -The Congressional Budget Office predicted that an increase in the minimum wage to $10. 10 would result in 900, 000 workers rising out of poverty in America. . . And 500, 000-1, 000, 000 becoming unemployed. https://www. Investopedia. Com/articles/investing/080515/minimum-wages-can-raise-unemployment. Asp https://www. Investopedia.

Org/blog/two-minimum-wage-charts-for-the-minimum-wage-supporter/ https://www. Nber. Org/papers/w23532. Pdf Morally speaking, The primary issue arises when taking the general term "raising MW" and breaking it down into its constituent parts to see what is involved, Some of which was clear in the above economic analysis. 1) These laws will very likely preclude even the possibility to work for those who are deemed as too unskilled to merit $15 creating a near-permanent and cast-like underclass. 2) The government being enlisted as a "bully" to force an employer to pay more than what they decide the job is worth is immoral. https://douglasgroothuis.

God Doesn't Exist

I don't believe in god for various reasons and one of which is that evolution has already been scientifically proven. Scientists have proven this and religious people don't believe in evolution because that would rule out the theory of god. The theory of evolution is no longer a theory, but a fact. One link to this fact : http://www.notjustatheory.com... , and : http://www.talkorigins.org... . and on a more funny note : http://www.youtube.com... Another point I feel I must make is that if god did exist then why hasn't there been any hardcore evidence? You want evidence of ghosts? Well, sorry that's tough, ghosts are a skepticism, but shouldn't and isn't god too? Nobody can necessarily prove god exists. Same with ghosts, mythical creatures, etc. Why? BECAUSE THERE IS NO EVIDENCE!!!! Though many argue that "god created our world", and "the 'evidence' is all around us", and "if god didn't create this Earth who did?" . Oh I don't know SPACE! Rocks, and fire and elements slamming into each other and becoming a part of the orbit around the sun!!!!! Another point I have, is that the bible, if you think about it, is just like a folktale, a story stretched for SO many years. Come on! A serpent, only two humans, a tree you can't eat from? Or virgin Mary wasn't a virgin! She made all that angel crap up so that she could get popular and have something to rub in all the other women's faces! Sins were made up to keep people from doing 'bad' things. Heaven and hell were made up to give relief to people, so they feel as though good people will be rewarded someday, and that bad people will be punished by going to hell. The power of the human mind. We constantly are trying to make logical explanations for the happenings in our daily world, it all makes sense if you think. I don't think believers in god are stupid, or weird, or anything of that nature, so why should religious people be mad at me? Our world is so driven by religion, that once in school, we had to write our favorite quotes on the board. Mine was something like, : "i'm and atheist and i'm upset that just by speaking my truth, 90% of the population is offended." My teacher was perfectly fine with it when we turned our quotes in the day before on index cards, but the next day, writing it on the board, along with everybody elses , she was fine, that night was open house, we didn't go, but when I came back the next morning, my quote wasn't there, two different ones were in there places. I strongly believe god doesn't exist.
looks like the anti-trolls are waging war on me

Technically nobody is "waging war" on you. [1]Waging- 1. A regular payment, usually on an hourly, daily, or weekly basis, made by an employer to an employee, especially for manual or unskilled work. [2]War-1. A state of open, armed, often prolonged conflict carried on between nations, states, or parties. 2. The period of such conflict. 3. The techniques and procedures of war; military science. We are 1, not fighting against nations on you, 2 there really is no conflict 3, we are not having a war on DDO. [1]https://search.yahoo.com... [2]https://search.yahoo.com...
Playing a Catcher in Baseball is Harder than Playing Goalie in Hockey

Thank you for your response, and good luck to you, as well. The catcher is the hardest position to play on the diamond. For the most part, the game is played outdoors. Through the months of June to early September, it can become excruciatingly hot. The catcher, no matter the weather (except in rain, of course), has to play the entire game, whereas, goalies play on the rink, where on the ice, the average temperature is around 30 degrees. The NHL season is 82 games long, while the MLB season is 162 games long. Most catchers usually player around 120-140 of these games, which means stress on the knees can become unbearable at times. The catcher's regular responsibilities include throwing out runners attempting to steal, block balls in the dirt, frame pitches (simply, catching the ball, which isn't as simple as it sounds when the ball is coming in at 90mph), and study the batter's tendencies. They not only do this with the starting pitcher, but with the pitchers in the bullpen, as well, in case they are needed. These strategies may change mid-game, depending on the other team. And after they do this, they have to go and perform on offense.
Playing a Catcher in Baseball is Harder than Playing Goalie in Hockey

This is also my first argument and good luck to my opponent. I think that be a goalie is tougher because of all the shots you have to take, and how crowded the area in front of the net can get, especially on an empty net. Hockey is also a physical sport and the goalie needs to help defend and stick up for his teammates. Goalies are also most of the time captain of the team.

Rap Battle

What is all of this noise that I hear. Sounds like a bunch of animals running in fear. Do you even know what you're talkin about. Or are these all just meaningless screams and shouts. I tried to warn when I said I level up ev'ry round. Imma chop you're career to bits and feed it to the hounds. Who the hell are you to think you can mention my name? This is my game. There's the door, cya, glad that You've came. Don't let it hit you on the a$$ on your way out You've lost this bout You had no chance, you whisper, I shout.

Worst than cheap tequila without lime To respond is a crime You couldn't sell your rap even if you charged a dime You think that i stink? stop and rethink. You seem a bit disillusion, so I give you this link, Next time you try and battle, don't get so stoned. Do you like getting owned?

Rap Battle

We just started and you're already stealing my rhymes Let me take it slow because clearly, you're in the end times. When it comes to rap I'm a lyrical thug. You're flow is so sh*t it couldn't be cured by a miracle drug. And you calling me f@ggot, that was way out line. If I was half as gay as you say then your a$$ would be mine. You think we're polar opposites; you're too kind thank you. :D You wouldn't be the sh*t even if it came out behind you. You think your raps are inspirational get that out of your head If you keep continuing like that you're gonna be dead. Pride's a sin so I'm gonna have to humble you down. Keep going on and I'll have you weeping, fo'real no frowns. Watch out because I level up each round. I'll take you out quick and I won't make a sound. So do us all a favor and stop rappin, be a wiseman. Your verses are garbage, you're better off being a hypeman. NOT TO BE JUDGED!! _____________________ Just to be clear I don't believe gay people could go into heaven. I just created the debate to clear up that issue and no not anyone can get into heaven. It was an objective stance someone had to take it. Nothing to do with the rap just wanted to make that clear.
The United States Should Switch to a Single Payer Healthcare System

TERMSResolved: The US Should Switch to a Single Payer System.Rounds:1. Acceptance only2. Opening arguments3. Clash4. Closing arguments/clashFor the purposes of this debate, the term Single-payer national health insurance, also known as “Medicare for all,” shall be defined as a system in which a single public or quasi-public agency organizes health care financing, but the delivery of care remains largely in private hands. Under a single-payer system, all residents of the U.S. would be covered for all medically necessary services, including doctor, hospital, preventive, long-term care, mental health, reproductive health care, dental, vision, prescription drug and medical supply costs.

The benefits of vaccines outweigh any harm

My opponent has said that vaccination was invented by devils. In fact, vaccination was developed by a human named Edward Jenner. https://en.wikipedia.org... I have also checked your profile, and as of now, you are a self-identified atheist. It's therefore hypocritical of you to use the Quran as a source, seeing as you don't even believe the Quran. This leads me to conclude that you are trolling. Good day.
The benefits of vaccines outweigh any harm

Vaccines were invented by devils according to Omar Fatha (pbup). Satan wants mankind to live longer so they can commit more crimes against Allah. All those ills you mentioned are Allah's ways of warning us. Any thing other than truth is false; who separates the two better than Allah? Consider mumps. Mumps can make your genitals swell like grapefruit. That affliction caused (and still causes) men to ponder their existence. What triggers reflection better than agony?
The benefits of vaccines outweigh any harm

My opponent has stated that the Quran forbids vaccines. As a non-Muslim, I won't question his interpretation, but what I will question is his argument. My opponent has stated a religious objection to vaccines, but this debate is on the effectiveness of vaccines. This debate should be argued with facts, not 'moral' objections. I will now put forward my first argument. Vaccines have dramatically lowered the rates of many diseases around the world. I will now cite statistics showing the decrease of disease rates in the US, in the format given below: [disease name]: [estimated annual pre-vaccine cases], [annual post-vaccine cases], [percentage decrease] Diphtheria: 21053, 0, 100% H. Influenza: 20000, 243, 99% Hepatitis A: 117333, 11049, 91% Hepatitis B: 66232, 11269, 83% Measles: 530217, 61, 99% Mumps: 162344, 982, 99% Pertussis (whooping cough): 200752, 13506, 93% Pneumococcal disease: 16069, 4167, 74% Polio: 16316, 0, 100% Rubella: 47745, 4, 99% Congenital Rubella: 152, 1, 99% Smallpox: 29005, 0, 100% Tetanus: 580, 14, 98% Varicella: 4085120, 449363, 89% Think of all the lives saved in just the US. Around the world, vaccines have saved millions of lives. Looking at the evidence, I think it's an understatement to describe vaccines as having a net benefit. Vaccines are one of the greatest medical breakthroughs of all time.
Justin Bieber is not a good role model

And Bieber shows them all the bad things that will happen to them if they smoke. It's unlikely that people will follow Bieber, and is more likely that they will turn away from him because he's so dislikable. Only 20% of Americans admit they "like" JB, and that is good (1). The fact that not many people likes him means that his persona turns people away from being like him. Therefore, he does make others be "better" people because they hate his music and don't want to exhibit his traits. Thanks for the fun debate! Please vote fair. (1) http://www.rollingstone.com...
Justin Bieber is not a good role model

Morally "JB" is not a good role model. He is however a good model of how the role he has in life often messes people up. He accidentaly shows society that being rich and famous can make you a bad person, and therefore you should always stick to the values that you develop from your parents and your morals. JB is a model of a life that has the role of being rich and famous, and he is good at showing us how it makes you messed up.
