Here is a poem I wrote for a lady friend.You By: Tyler Graham I want you Call it the “cupcake phase” or just plain infatuation, but I want you I want to take you somewhere nice Where we can just be with each other Smile, look into your eyes Talk together Tell you about me Tell me about you Feel the staccato beats of my heart I want you to take me by the hand and lead me into a dark room where sweet silence sweeps me away and the focus lies only on your words, and your words are so enthralling to hear that I am left soundless and still I want my heart to skip a beat everytime I think of you and I want to think of you every day I want to spend time with you and then stop time with you. I want to run my fingers through the crimson in your hair as the crimson in my veins begins to surge, and our lips touch, so gentle at first, and then we both begin to just smile and allow the fire in the air and in our hearts to take us as we pull each other closer. I want to hear a million more of your cute little giggles that you seem to think are so awkward. Then I want to stop, and listen more. I want to hear every embarrassing story you tell. I want to share and compare our essays, and poetry, and art, and our feelings I want to be dumbfounded by just how clever and funny you really are I want to share my favorite fragile things with you I want to share a moment over coffee and literature. Sharing words with you is special to me. I want you to read this and laugh at just how cheesy and cliche it is Then we stop And We stare And Share another smile And Share another story, And Share another laugh And Share another sweet kiss... I want to hear about the things you’re passionate about. You blush and think that you’re boring, but you’re not and I know that and I tell you, and it’s just so cute that I can’t help but smile and laugh because I just really really really really like hearing what you have to say because you just don’t stop being so interesting. I want you to procrastinate as long as you can before finally resigning to going home after an angry call from a disgruntled parent. I’ll apologize and you’ll say it’s fine. I’ll still feel bad, but I relish every second we have together. I want you to come over and just sit with me, back to back, or face to face reading our favorite books, and sharing our favorite passages. I want you to listen to me as I spill my guts and give you my awful life story because, I want you to know the truth about me as best as I can tell it because, I want you to trust me so our relationship lasts because, I want you to want me because.... I want you.

TITLE: 'BROKEN HEARTED' By Jude I. This is a love poem which consists of 14 lines. ""Thy faulty strenght of wench. ""so unnatural in a pervasive mood. ""weaken by the thought of glory ""drained far away by the wind. ""thou promise so trusting ""in the story of lost. ""angelic voice beautified for thy haste ""mind stolen for the gift of lost. ""sorrows floating like a ceaseless rain in pain. ""wagons of figure not a drenching man.""none of thy tot' my grass grow ""broken like bottles, waiting for waste ""oh, wish to be back, but so unaccepted.

all criminals should be killed immediately regardless of their actions

About the 15 years old kid that you were talking about. Is that kid an orphan or not. Because if he/she is not an orphan and do have parents, he/she won"t be starving to death. And if he/she is and orphan, then that would be the responsibility of the government to take care of him/her. About that psychological problem, there is nothing that we can do about that since it"s almost like an incurable disease. Even if it"s cured, we don"t know much longer he"ll go bonkers like before and starts on killing people. Do you know that killing one criminal will be same like saving the lives of hundreds of innocent lives. and you"re wrong. Dogs do offer something to the society. Don"t you know that some of them are used to track bombs, criminals with their powerful sense of smell. Everyone offers something to the society. Even old people offers something. Don"t you know that old people have a job. Is that not part of the society? And even if they"re retired, they can still hand down their experience, knowledge to the young ones. And didn"t I tell you that those that have commit heinous crimes and is of no use to the society are criminals. Only those with both are considered as criminals. But you only mentioned the latter part and the statement too is wrong. And kids do offer something to the society. They are the people of tomorrow. The next generation. Without them our kind will face extinction. So, it turns out that kids are the most important part of a society. And you said that they don"t offer a damn thing to the society. And for that last question. I will pull the trigger on that psycho because if I don"t he will probably kill me and more lives will be harmed. Killing him will save more lives. You are the one that"s evil for not killing him and letting him go out killing the innocents. So, are trying to say that you"d rather have hundreds of people die rather than just one? Because if yes, you are an evil person.
all criminals should be killed immediately regardless of their actions

So, you are saying that a 15 year old boy steals a couple of bananas from a fruit shop because it is starving and hasn't eaten anything for the last 2 days should be sentenced to death? Wow. Someone who has raped... Hm... Yes, people that go around and rape most of the times have a psychological problem, if not every time. So you are saying that people that had psychological breakdowns, that don't think clearly cause they have a problem, or are just crazy should be killed because they offer nothing to the society? Did you ask the Parents and brothers and sisters of those people that are crazy if they do offer or not? You can't take away a human life because they offer nothing to the society. Dogs don't offer anything to the society. Should we kill them too? Maybe there are some old people that don't offer much to the society, shall we kill them too? There are people that leave in regions alone, producing their own food and have no touch with the society. Kill, kill, kill? You might say we are talking about criminals, but criminals are human too, and they didn't commit a crime because they just decided to. Most of them have problems. Killing people that have problems reminds me of a myth about Sparta in the ancient times, where they would kill the kids that were born with a problem or were born retarded and so and so forth. Is this the kind of society you want? Hell, kids don't offer a damn thing to the society. Do they work? Do they pay taxes? Do they do something to help their society? No, they can't. "Can't" is the magic word in this argument. These people mostly have mental illnesses and just can't offer anything. I would like to raise this question right now: Imagine yourself in front of a person that killed a woman because he was crazy and maybe, had some crazy fantasies with her and killed her for no reason. You are standing there , in front of that person tied up in a chair and is looking hopelessly at you, holding a gun pointed at his head. Sir, do you pull that trigger? If yes, you are an evil person.
all criminals should be killed immediately regardless of their actions

anyone can tell whether someone is a criminal or not. those who steal, rape, and have done other heinous crimes deserve to have the title of a criminal. what use will the criminals have on the society anyway. no one can answer that question because they don't have any other use. in my opinion, they should be killed because once they are set free from the prison they're number one objective will be to get revenge. so, instead of keeping them in prisons for a long time, making them suffer to teach them a lesson(which is of no use), wasting all those valuable resources and foods on them, why not just kill them all. if they just die once caught, everyone's happy. the prison need not waste anymore resources, no one will get harmed, and of course, the criminals need not suffer in prison for years. everyone's happy.
Straight Hair is Better than Curly Hair for Normal People.

I'd also like to say my opponent also has the burden of proof, to not only provide the pros of curly hair, but the cons of straight hair AND provide counterarguments for each of my points. "My opponent has the burden of proof to prove that straight hair is better than curly hair for normal people. " I believe that I said my opponent could begin. "My opponent has yet to define 'normal people. '" Normal - adjective 1. conforming to the standard or the common type; usual; not abnormal; regular; natural. People - noun 1. human beings, as distinguished from animals or other beings. (. http://dictionary.reference.com...) Therefore, you can conclude that a "normal person" is a regular human being. I assume that because my opponent cannot even look up "normal person" or infer what a "normal person" is, they will not be able to provide an intelligent argument. "Two benefits that my opponent stated is that straight hair makes it easier to groom and maintain in general. Without any evidence, my opponent has placed merely an unwarranted opinion. " Actually, I have curly hair, so it IS a warranted opinion. (In case you did not know what warranted was, it means "Justification for an action or a belief". I do not need justification to state my own opinion on a DEBATE site. ) "I argue that curly hair is more carefree and fun rather than just being plain. " This is merely an opinion, and could not be counted as an argument. "According to . http://jyte.com......, more people prefer curly hair. " Four votes is not an accurate consensus of the general population's opinion. There are many reasons that straight hair is better than curly hair: i. )Females with curly hair have to blow dry it every night if they want it tangle-free and easier to manage. ii. )If you want to style curly hair into a different texture (waves, crimped hair), you must straighten it before curling to keep it from frizzing. iii. )Generally, you must use anti-frizz and/or leave in conditioner in your hair if you want it to have a sleek texture. iv. )Time is wasted daily for curly haired people—if you do not like your curly hair's texture, you have to straighten it before curl/braid/style it. (My source? First hand experience and complaints from friends. ) A person with straight hair could simply curl/braid/style it however they like.
Straight Hair is Better than Curly Hair for Normal People.

My opponent has the burden of proof to prove that straight hair is better than curly hair for normal people. In other words, prove it. By saying straight hair is better, my opponents says that it has more benefits than curly hair. My opponent has yet to define "normal people." Two benefits that my opponent stated is that straight hair makes it easier to groom and maintain in general. Without any evidence, my opponent has placed merely an unwarranted opinion. I argue that curly hair is better in some ways since according to research published in the August 2007 American Journal of Physics, curly hair is less likely to get tangled than straight hair. Source: http://physicsbuzz.physicscentral.com... I argue that curly hair is more carefree and fun rather than just being plain. According to http://jyte.com..., more people prefer curly hair. Of course, this is a matter of preference than a fact. But in order to prove that straight hair is better than curly hair, my opponent needs to support with evidence/sources.
Donald Trump = 666 Antichrist using Evil48 Code of A=49, B=50, C=51...Z=74

Simply because counting the location of the letters in your name + 48 each adds up to 666 does not make you the anti-Christ. Many other names can add up as well using all sorts of codes including your 48 code. What if I decide to add 10 to each letter to get another set of anti-Christ names? It sounds you tried to add different numbers to letters to get famous names to add up to 666. Also the main language of the time was Greek not English and the majority of Christians speak Spanish not English and there is no reason why God would use English for his number. In fact the name Nero Caesar the emperor of Rome translated into Hebrew is literally 666 and it makes sense since he killed many Christians [1]. We have actually also found the oldest fragment containing the part of revelations that has the devil's number and it says the number is 616 not 666[2]. Another question is why would the devil give away the anti-Christ like this? Why would he leave any hints? Villains may reveal their plans in cartoons or James Bond but they don't do this in real life. [1] http://www.equip.org... [2] http://www.religionnewsblog.com...
Donald Trump = 666 Antichrist using Evil48 Code of A=49, B=50, C=51...Z=74

Donald Trump = 666 Antichrist using the Evil48 Code of A=49, B=50, C=51...Z=74. Donald Trump = D52+O63+N62+A49+L60+D52 + T68+R66+U69+M61+P64 = 666 Trump's actions should be agreed by all to be 'the opposite of the Christ' which is the simple definition of 'antichrist'. He is now the leading antichrist which means he's the 'Antichrist'. The fact that Donald Trump = 666 using the Evil48 Code is very telling! Simple6,74 English7,74 Gematria8,74 (google that) uses 'the key'74 of A=1, B=2, C=3...Z=26. Therefore... evil=48=E5+V22+I9+L12 This is why 48 is added to every letter to produce the Evil48 Code. Now you can't tell GOD, "I didn't know!"
There are 5 logical ways of dying while crossing the street.

What I offer is a new way to debate. The challenge is for my opponent (Pro) to come up with five ways of dying while crossing the street. There is no limit to how many ways of dying pro offers, but voters MUST accept five of them. Before voting, voters should comment on the five logical ways of dying they accept on the bottom of the debate. But remember, they must be logical. It will be treated as a normal debate (refutation will be normal except Con argues why they are not logical or do not meet up with the topic of debate in any way.) Then Pro argues why they do meet up with the topic of debate. Rules: 1. The first speech is the ONLY speech that Con can offer ways of dying. 2. There is no limit on how many ways of dying offered by Con. (but all in the first speech) 3. Pro's burden of proof is to convince voters of 5 logical ways of dying while crossing the street. 4. Voters are encouraged to "comment" on which ways of dying they did/didn't accept. (not really a rule but still) 5. Con's burden of proof is convince voters that there are NOT 5 logical ways of dying while crossing the street. I hope this turns out to be fun. It is just a new way of debating that I came up with so I thought I would give it a try. Good luck to whomever accepts this debate and if you have any questions, just comment on the bottom. Thank You
There are 5 logical ways of dying while crossing the street.

Greetings. I'd like to thank my opponent for starting this debate and wish him the best of luck. With formalities out of the way, let us proceed carefully: In this debate, it is my job to support the position that there are 5 logical ways of dying while crossing the street whereas it is my opponents job to show why this isn't the case. In my opponent's first round, he provides you with no reason as to why there are NOT 5 logical ways of dying while crossing the street. In short, his round one reply is a rejection of his burden of proof. The contender immediately formulates a straw man argument by suggesting (see rule #3) that I'm obligated to show 5 logical ways as to how one can die while crossing the street. Noting how the resolution is worded, all I have to do is argue in favor of the mere notion that there are at least five logical ways at which one may die). However, to pacify my opponent, I will present specific means at which one can die while crossing the street. Also, the resolution is not phrased in a way that requires it to be bounded to rules my opponent creates. Thus, I have the authority to dismiss any of my opponents rules at any time, provided he attempts to abuse them. Now, onto the ways at which one can die while crossing the street. 1) While flying across street, an insect can easily collide with the incredible force of a vehicle. This typically results in the deaths of many insects as well as the annoyance of people who wish to keep the exterior of their vehicles clean. 2) While crossing a street, it is within the realm of possibility for a human to have a heart attack that can result in death. 3) One can get shot at with a fire arm (a gun) while crossing the street. 4) While crossing the street, one can easily be killed by an assassin from behind who possesses a knife or has good knowledge of lethal martial arts techniques. 5) While crossing the street, one can easily be killed due to falling debris from that could come about from an falling building. So far, these are my only five, but I'll present more in round 2. Your move. :D
Racism and crime

Cons study applies to a specific area. His study does also not factor in population rates. Meaning the reason whites *sometimes* commit more crimes is that there are more of them. Blacks *on a percentage basis* commit more crimes in the UK. His assertion and resolution from round 1 states this " My position is that as a proportion of the population black people commit more crimes, especially the nastier crimes like murder and rape, than white people. " If he is affirming blacks commit more crimes, he is debating a truism. Meaning his affirmation of this can not be debate because as I have pointed out throughout this debate, it is a fact If he states white people commit more crimes (which he just did ) he negated his own affirmation. Either way he has lost this debate.
Racism and crime

Firstly, the BNP are openly racist, so I feel that their messages are somewhat biased, as such I will make no further reference to them. The statistics from the government report are however much more interesting. The following statistics come from page 11 table A: https://www.gov.uk... white populous 42897771 black populous 1307268 white stop and searches 767316 black stop and searches 166708 white cautions 191221 black cautions 16338 white proportion of stop and search resulting in caution 24.9% black proportion of stop and search resulting in caution 9.8% this shows clearly, that the same as in New York black people are not committing more crimes, they are simply being searched more and arrested more. The reason blacks are over represented in crime statistics is because a higher proportion of their crimes are investigated. Also I would like to point out that I would not bring a debate that is a non issue or a 'trusim' (normally spelt truism) to the table, and attacking the integrity of someone's debate rather than making a meaningful argument is low.
Racism and crime

this debate is a trusim, as con is affirming per his round 1 that black people commit more crimes in london . http://www.bnp.org.uk... . https://www.gov.uk... Meaning it is a statistical fact that blacks commit more crimes than whites in london. You cannot argue against a statistical fact. In formal debate a trusim is frowned upon because it harms the integrity of debate 1) It harms fairness in debates. Debating is the exchange of ideas over a topic with intellectual discourse. If someone has an advantage that cannot be conquered because their side is a proven fact it harms, the purpose of debate itself. 2) It also harms the educational value of debates. Another purpose of debate is learning from what is being debated. Debating a trusim also negates that, as you are debating a confirmed statistic.
Racism and crime

I have failed to find any useful statistics that relate to London England, I honestly wish there where some useful information, I have however managed to find this article http://empathyeducates.org... it is about New York, it very clearly states that although there are far more searches of black people the probability that those searches will yield anything is far lower for black people. This means that, at least for New York, it would be false to say that black people commit more crimes per capita than whites, they are just searched more.
Racism and crime

Ok I have tried this before on here but I feel that my last topic may have been too complicated so I'm going to try something much easier. Is there any evidence (ideally a graph of some sort) to show the proportion of crimes committed in London England by black people, white people, asian people etc. as a proportion of the populous of each ethnic group? or are people too scared of being called racist for telling the truth? My position is that as a proportion of the population black people commit more crimes, especially the nastier crimes like murder and rape, than white people. if you are not interested in an intellectual debate don't bother to reply, if you have a racist agenda go somewhere else! I want to know if there are any any statistics on this matter or if it is all simply conjecture, please quote your sources if you give any statistics.
Life

not a bit vague. if you have no position how could you possibly win? so far you have made a claim, so a question like, why is life not special? goes to your position my position is automaticly life is special, so thats a defeater to your claim already why is matter not special? you dont like food? special foods? sex? peeing a smiley in the snow? what is so special about nothing? ok life is special, life is true emotion.. and being dead there is nothing special about life or at all.. so whatever is special, is life so what is so special about non special if there is all to be special, as life? these are just pointers.. its like you want me to fight an invisible man and you havnt told me where he i cant find him nor has there been any signs of there being an invisible man to fight..
