My opponent's singular argument is an appeal to authority, in that my opponent says because he/she said something is true, therefore it must be true. This argument does not affirm the resolution due to it being a logical fallacy [1]. Since this is my opponent's singular argument, and it fails to fulfill the BoP, Con claims victory by default.Thank you.Reference [1] http://www.logicallyfallacious.com...
Five Nights At Freddy's (Pro) vs Pokemon (Con)

Oh, you FNAF fans, so persistent. There is nothing that FNAF can credit itself to that Pokemon ten times better. In terms of strategy, the types and moves and items take a lot of thinking and strategic prowess if you want to win online competitive battling. Complicated things such as EV training and breeding for perfect IVs are to complex to explain and makes Pokemon one of the most strategic games to date. As for youtubers, a lot of Youtubers who play FNAF don't just play FNAF. In contrast, there's a whole legion of famous you tubers that almost exclusively play Pokemon such as Patterrz, Munchingorange, ShadyPenguin, TheJWittz, and a bunch of others. There is nothing about FNAF that can even compare to a classic like Pokemon.
Five Nights At Freddy's (Pro) vs Pokemon (Con)

First off you said that FNAF was for 5 year olds but there is thinking and strategy involved. Too much for even 10 year olds. There is also tons of YouTubers that are famous because of FNAF. Let me name a few. Markiplier and Game Theory are well known and thanks to FNAF that are popular. Also there are tons of theories that come with FNAF and to name a few, The Dream Theory, The Theory about Purple Guy being FNAF 4 kid's dad. There is a lot of people that their whole life is surrounded by FNAF like me. Thats all I have for now.
Five Nights At Freddy's (Pro) vs Pokemon (Con)

To me, there is no contention in this debate. Pok"mon is a classic game that has been entertaining people of all ages for over 20 years. FNAF games are rushed and have only been around for a little over a year. Pok"mon has a beautiful community of trading and competitive battling while FNAF has a fan base full of 5 year olds who think their solving some mystery by analyzing these indie games with absolutely no substance. You can argue if you wish Daryl, but I doubt you have any arguments that can sway me.

AOW Debate (Shattered World)

This is a war debate. You see this is my second one, and this one is unique because it is from a scenario I made. I will be playing as the People's Republic of Southern China. These are the rules: 1. If you take this debate, tell the name of your country, and tell the numbers of your armed forces for things like vehicles (aircraft, ships, tanks, armored cars), men, missiles, and hackers (Yes, certain countries have the ability to do cyberwarfare). You can not play as the People's Republic of Southern China. You can play as any country except the ones that are dead (USA, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Nigeria, Argentina, South Africa, Algeria, Ethiopia, Egypt, Italy, Spain, France, Germany, Poland, the UK, Ukraine, Turkey, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Saudi Arabia, India, Pakistan, Indonesia, Japan, China, Australia and Russia) 2. If you need information on a country tell me in the Comment section. Wikipedia is allowed to be used for military units. 3. You do not have to choose the countries I present, they merely represent the countries that broken up. 4. You do not have to declare war on my nation as soon as possible, for you could conquer any nation. 5. Please listen to the Geneva Convention, if you do not there will be major consequences. Here is a link to the Geneva Convention: http://www.redcross.org...... This also includes nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons. 6.

God does exist. God (pro) vs atheism (con)

In my opinion god does exist.and i would like to present some complleing statistics which lends credence to my position. around the world millions of people believe in existence of god.so, there must be something causing this belief.Earth is designed in a very technical and smart way,so there must be a designer of this beautifully designed planet.In our atmosphere the gases are present in a fix proportion which enables life on earth. This cannot be a coincidence.why isn't life possible on mars? why is it only possible on earth? because god made this planet for humans to live.The statement that every effect has it's cause also applies here.this planet,with vast physical diversities it is a effect of some cause.Scientists have proven that there is surely a beginning point to this universe and it there must be a cause for it's existence. therefore the cause of existence must be god.you need to understand the fact that if there is no explanation for the god then there must be no explanation for the universe.the clearest picture of god is jesus.He made sacrifices to serve and help the needy.These divine deeds were not only what he did. He performed miracles by healing the disabled.These actions cannot be perfomed by us.Jesus died in our place so that we could be forgiven.Because of him we are gifted a new life today. Come to a country like India where there are thousands of proof of existence of god. There are many temples where at night food is kept in a room which is inside 7 locks.In the morning the food is all finished. People believe that God comes at night and have food and leaves early morning.Although this a personal experience but it counts. This is not enough there are infinite proofes.So,Remember that although we can't prove that gods exist,neither we can prove that He doesn't.
God does exist. God (pro) vs atheism (con)

I recently left my religion and became an atheist. I would like the pro to go first and lay out his arguements. I will refute them and hopefully have enough time and space to provide some of my own. First round - pro lays out his arguement Second arguement - my rebuttal and arguements and pro rebuttals 3 - arguements and rebuttals 4 - solely for rebuttals (no new arguements) This debate is religion-neutral. I do not care what religion you are as long as you can defend God. BOP - shared even though it should not be.
if illegal immigration causes job loss, so does free trade

Outsourcing jobs to people in other countries is different from giving jobs to illegal immigrants within America's borders. When a company hires an illegal immigrant in America's borders, it is paying someone to sustain himself while smuggling into America the values, languages, and traditions of his home country. The whole idea of employment is based on an idea of capitalism and freedom of association that would certainly not exist anymore if many of these illegal immigrants were granted political power--or if their children were granted political power. Cheap labor from a distance is very different from cheap labor performed by strangers in your own home. That's the fundamental difference that needs to be noted here.
if illegal immigration causes job loss, so does free trade

con went on a long tirade for some reason to prove illegal immigration steals jobs. i can agree with that. so now the question is isn't free trade the same thing effectively? con uses the household anaology to say they are different. but i concede there's somehting wrong with just barging into the country, or house. what i dont concede is that it is effectively different. in both situations, something cheaper is being made via cheap labor, which is often the case with free trade. we can go to another country and buy a shirt that made with cheap labor, or we can ask the illegal immigrant to make it for that same cheap labor right here in our own country. what difference does the worker's geographical location make other than to say one is technically a trespasser?
if illegal immigration causes job loss, so does free trade

My opponent states that it is contradictory to be opposed to illegal immigration while being in favor of free trade. This view is mistaken.Are illegal immigrants "stealing" jobs? Well, to answer this question, we have to first consider what it means to steal. When one steals, one takes something that does not belong to him without permission. When an illegal immigrant crosses the border, he smuggles in his culture, values, and language; without the consent of the American people, illegal immigrants come into the United States and change its national character. When an illegal immigrant sneaks his way into California and takes a job on a field there for $4/hour, he is taking a job that does not belong to him; as a non-citizen, he is stealing. Indeed, he takes advantage of US labor laws and regulations, such as the state's minimum wage law, which is built on the shoulders of American taxpayers to provide a safety net for American citizens. When an illegal immigrant comes into the country without the consent of the American people and undeservingly benefits from the social and economic policies there, then he has no right to a job on American soil. And if he does accept a job on American soil, he is stealing it. If you enter someone else's house without permission, it doesn't become permissible for you to stay there just because you decide to do chores; you have no right to the resources in that house, and any action you perform inside is implicitly unlawful. This is markedly different from social and economic interactions that happen between different households; if you decide to sell someone a shirt and mail it to their house, you have a right to, because you're not intruding on their house. This is the general analogy that I would like to draw when comparing the issues of free trade and illegal immigration, and I will likely go back to it as his debate continues.Thank you very much. I look forward to hearing my opponent's rebuttal.

Marijuana

The format of this debate is quite unorthodox... I just want to clarify if this is what you really meant: Round 1: Opening Arguments Round 2: Rebuttals Round 3: Defend Opening Arguments Please clarify next round. Besides that, the main reason I say marijuana should remain illegal is because it is no different from any other drug of abuse. It is a poison that, in the short term, temporarily but severely impairs your judgement and coordination, and in the long term, slowly destroys your brain and immune system (1). In addition, there are no valid medical benefits of marijuana; the term "medical marijuana" was invented as an excuse to make marijuana more accessible to addicts (2).

The "No Zero" policy in Education is a beneficial first step in an education system overhaul

My humblest apologies for failing to post. I thought I"d have time this week, and apparently, I was mistaken :/ The conduct point is lost, of course, but I hope to still win the argument points! "In summary, a two-grade system that separates behavior grades and academic grades has multiple disadvantages and somewhat strays from the topic that we are arguing about: a "No Zero Policy."" That is true, it is straying a bit - the purpose of the No Zero Policy is to separate out behavioural issues from the grading policy, in an attempt to make grades actually mean something - it isn"t about a specific model for the end result. The meaning that academia has chosen to apply to grades is academic, and therefore they aim (via the No Zero policy) to remove behavioural components from the grade. The two grade system presented by my opponent is undeniably fraught with difficulties. Quite clearly, his hypothetical model would not work, and should not be applied. Ultimately, though, this debate is about the No Zero policy, its implications, and the problems it attempts to resolve. I hope that all voters can clearly see the problems with the hypothetical students Adam and Bob above - with a No Zero policy in place, they no longer receive the same grade for their vastly disparate behaviour. Adam receives the higher grade, reflecting something with actual meaning - he is more successful academically than Bob. An actual conclusion can be drawn - which is the point of grades. "It"s okay if I get a zero on that paper, I"ll make it up elsewhere in the grade." - http://www.teachthought.com... This source discusses the problems with the traditional system in depth. This brings in my last point. This viewpoint, quoted above, quite simply works with a give-0"s-for-failure policy. I, admittedly, have done it myself. This isn"t educational. This isn"t "Real Life." This doesn"t work. It isn"t okay to simply fail to do something that you"re supposed to do - any real job would throw a fit. And by that, I mean, would probably fire you. They don"t average it in, they take it extremely seriously. The No Zero policy, on the surface, sounds like it"s trying to make a "no failure" system, sounds like it"s going to let students get away with refusal to complete assignments. It is, in fact, the opposite. It is an attempt to push schools into taking missed assignments far more seriously than a simple 0 that the students can average out and ignore. It is intended to force schools into developing local systems - since no such thing can be properly implemented en masse - that will address behavioural problems with all the weight and importance they deserve. In summary, the No Zero policy is the opposite of what it is accused of being. It is fundamentally designed to make grades meaningful, but contrary to the accusations against it, it is a step towards making missed assignments the most extreme type of failure possible.
The "No Zero" policy in Education is a beneficial first step in an education system overhaul

The primary purpose of high school is to prepare students for later in their life (especially, but not limited to, college).Grades are numerical summaries of a student's performance in classes, and in regards to college admissions, grades are easy indicators a student's abilities and effort.The reason that colleges see grades, which are numerical summaries, as opposed to seeing the student's performance on each assessment, is that college admission officers often have to deal with thousands of applicants and have a limited amount of time.Providing separate grades for behavioral and academic performance, despite providing more information about a student, is largely inefficient.This binary system of grades is also subject to possible abuse:For example, with the two kids you gave, Adam could turn in assignments that he literally wrote random answers for in order to avoid having a "missed assignment" and a bad "behavior grade" with minimal effort.In addition to that example, Bob might come across an assignment that he does not know how to do. Since Bob already has a high "behavior grade," he might decide not to turn in the assignment in order to avoid dropping his "academic grade" even lower at the cost of his "behavior grade."The "binary grade system" would also pose a few dilemmas:If Adam does not turn in an assignment, then what grade should he receive on that assignment?How would a teacher grade behavior? Would they start a grade with a 100 and then deduct a point for each behavior issue?Should behavior grades count toward a student's GPA?Finally, grading behavior is far too subjective, which would make a behavior grade meaningless in some classes. Teachers' responses to certain behaviors might be entirely different.For example, suppose we have teachers A and B. If a student points out a mistake that the teacher made, Teacher A might interpret that as being rude, but Teacher B might appreciate being corrected.Another example: a teacher might show favoritism in "behavior grading" that would be reflected on a student's "behavior grade." If Teacher A had Adam as a student, then Teacher A could give Adam a good behavior grade and no one could argue against it. On the other hand, a grade that uses the conventional "point system" in which all assignments are given a certain number of "points" would be more objective.In summary, a two-grade system that separates behavior grades and academic grades has multiple disadvantages and somewhat strays from the topic that we are arguing about: a "No Zero Policy."
