The U.S.A should be replaced with a giant carnival

1. Rhode Island as a parking lot"Are you insane?!? It would cost far to much money!"Of course I'm not insane! Would an insane man have an idea so brillian? As for the money problem, we can just print more money, although I doubt it'll come to that with the power of the free market!2. New York into a gigantic mall."All the unfriendly New Yorkers'll kick you out! I HEARBY PROPOSE THAT WE KILL ALL NEW YORKERS AND FEED THEM TO OUR CHILDREN!"Of course. That's a given. After we do that though, we need to turn the empty, barren state into a mall so that everyone can buy quality goods, with the power of the free market! Of course, it is going to be a hundred stories tall as well. 3. Texas as the living area."Nobody wants to live in Texas! It's too close to Mexico!"You forget that it's a southern style home, so there will be African slaves and Mexican servants! We need the Mexicans for cheap exploitation, for the greater good of the free market! Also, why would we sell them to the Japanese? The South Koreans are the ones that are materialistic and want to be white!4. California would be the prison!"You moron! Nobody wants to leave California!"Which is why it would be a perfect prison! Nobody would escape because nobody wants to! "As we all know, Californians are hot."Exactly. With all those fertile, superior mates for the criminals to rape, one of two things will happen. Either crime will die out because of the angelic DNA overriding the criminals DNA, or we will have more criminals to put in the prison industrials complex, which will make corporations money, which they will invest in carnivals because everyone knows that carnivals are a breeding ground for pedophiles, which will fill the prisons, which will give a good return on investments! That's the power of the free market. 5. The rest of states divided by the free marketHe's black. We all know they have no credibility. Even if we are to take this racially questionable source, you must understand corporations are people as well. Also, corporations are much more productive members of society. Who else puts that much economic output?
The U.S.A should be replaced with a giant carnival

My opponent is insane!Rhode Island as a parking lot.NO! Are you insane?!? It would cost far to much money! I HEARBY PROPOSE THAT WE BUILD A GIANT WOODEN CHICKEN AROUND RHODE ISLAND SO WE WON'T WASTE MONEY MAKING IT A PARKING LOT!New York into a gigantic mall.Are you crazy?!? All the unfriendly New Yorkers'll kick you out! I HEARBY PROPOSE THAT WE KILL ALL NEW YORKERS AND FEED THEM TO OUR CHILDREN!Texas as the living area.You imbecile! Nobody wants to live in Texas! It's too close to Mexico! Those Mexicans are more shady than Canadians (though still more trustworthy than the Russians). I HEARBY PROPOSE WE STEAL THE TEXANS' HATS AND SELL THEM TO THE JAPANESE!California would be the prison.You moron! Nobody wants to leave California! As we all know, Californians are hot. Don't turn California into a bin for shady people. I HEARBY PROPOSE THAT WE EXPORT ALL CRIMINALS OUT TO MEXICO!The rest of the states divided by the free market.NO! Imagine Christmas! Sinbad's character in Jingle All the Way has a rant that explains why capitalism is a bad idea. Paraphrased: "Dear Santa, I want Nevada and Kentucky... NO! Your fathers been laid off... So now you have to work 24/7 delivering mail so you can pay allimony to wife who's slept with everybody in at the Post Office (carnival) but me!"This following clip shows the frustration that the common man will have after working at the Post Office (representing the carnival). This man has lived in a circus for so long, he thinks carnivals are called "Post Offices"! I suggest that there be no one around to see you cry. See clip: http://www.youtube.com...
The U.S.A should be replaced with a giant carnival

1. Rhode Island as a parking lotYou see, Rhode Island is the smallest state. It produces very little for the country as a whole but is still allowed to exist. I find this ridiculous. This is why we should do to Rhode Island what we do to those unproductive rainforests: level it out, and pour concrete all over it. This way, there will be no problem with parking. I also propose that we give tracking devices to those car owners so that they can find their car. Since Rhode Island is still an area too big to walk around, I propose giving out golf carts to drive around the parking lot that was once Rhode Island.2. New York into a gigantic mallNow, I must stress that New York City will still remain intact inside of the mall, as a sort of administrative hub of the entire circus. It will also be the only place in America still left normal. Nobody outside of New York State even cares about the other cities in there anyway. The reason it should be a giant mall is because everyone knows that New York is the shopping center of America. This also provides the needs that tourists at the Great Carnival would need. 3. Texas as the living areaSince we all know that the South is famous for it's giant, magnificent homes built on plantations, Texas would be an ideal place for people to live. Just imagine all of the traditional living, and families! This would help to balance out all of the evil liberal homosexuals that would breed in the Carnival.4. California would be the prisonSince we all know the U.S is famous for its incarceration rate, I propose that one of the largest states, California, be the prison. We would gather everyone from Hollywood, and make people watch Mel Gibson, Justin Beiber, the Kardashians, and every reality show 24/7. Also, they would be reruns. 5. The rest of the states divided by the free marketSince we all know that the free market is the best system of government, I propose that we allow capitalism to do it's work. Each and every corporation, business, and shareholder will do everything it can to get a piece of the pie. That will give higher quality carnival activities with lower prices.Back to you, Con.
The U.S.A should be replaced with a giant carnival

This is a troll debate. Pro will be proposing that the United States of America should be turned into a carnival, with Rhode Island as the parking lot and New York State as the mall. Con will be arguing against that. BTW, this is a retry debate. Everything posted until the second half of round 4 will be copied and pasted. Here is the original (. http://www.debate.org...) Remember, Con, 72 hours for each argument.
The U.S.A should be replaced with a giant carnival

... I... I can't respond to those... comments... I... I am now scared of Obama...___________________________________________________________________About my opponent's proposed method of celebrating His Llama-ness:You clearly haven't read your Llama-Love manual. In it, Llama-Lord clearly states that you must burn a giant wooden chicken in order to get spit on by the Powerful Cosmic Llama of Power. Once his green saliva touches your face, you will start to speak in the Language of the Llamas. You will then repent of your alpaca ways an gain intrance to the underground moonbase (which Llama-Lord rules).You can repeat this ritual as many times as you want. I have participated in this ritual 27 times. I do this to experience the sheer joy of seeing a giant Llama's head in the hazy clouds.LSD may or may not be involved._____________________________________________________________________________________That's absurd! We should "employ" the Koreans as adorable short little elves for our amusement!While this is cute, and would work with the South Koreans, the Northern Koreans would be a headache to deal with. Even if their attacks would be pointless, they would still be annoying. WE SHOULD OPEN A CAN-OF-'MURICA! ON THESE FOOLS TO MAKE THEM STOP THEIR STUPID THREATS!____________________________________________________________________As for the Lautner point, if you really care about it that much, then we'll get rid of all of the Lautners and only let the criminals rape Kardashians.Rape is never the answer... So we shall replace the Lautners with the Kardashians._____________________________________________________________________________________Conclusion:While Rhode Island will make a nice parking-lot, my opponent fails to see the importance of giant wooden chickens.My opponent actually cares about Obama's suffering... You're not supposed to care about black people.I have shown that we need to use a false-flag attack in order to attack North Korea before we build it into a giant mall.My opponent has shown that the Russians would support us.I have shown that I am not a racist because I LOVE everyone (except gays, Mexicans, latinos, Asians, Russians, Atheists, and some blacks.)Lladies and Llamas of the Tribunal, it is too costly to relocate the Lautners, to build the Chicken, and to pay for the false-flag attacks and the following war. This is why we cannot make 'Murica into a carnival.
The U.S.A should be replaced with a giant carnival

Okay, although this is a troll debate, I am disappointed that it has essentially thrown the resolution to the wind and has descended into a series of nonsensical rebuttals. Nevertheless, I will dilegently move forward."Of course you can be! Look at Obama! He is both Hitler AND Marx, albeit in disguise."That's absurd! Hitler hated communists! Wait... I see now. The reason that Obama is involved in so many scandals is... he is a masochist! He hates himself! He loves pain! The reason Michelle is married to him is because she is a sadist! Almost every night, Barack get's tied to the bedspread while Michelle whips him for being a bad boy! Then she ties a zip tie around his d*ck and rides him until it turns purple! Then she punches him in the balls so hard that the zip tie breaks and the c*m reaches the ceiling! And the entire thing is done on an upside down pentagram, while the children shove Murkabah shaped sex toys up the pets in a Satanic ritual to worhip the LLAMA-LORD! It's all coming together now. This is why the U.S needs to be a giant carnival! So that the president doesn't have to live in shame, because he's among freaks just like him!"It MUST be wooden! HOW ELSE WOULD WE CELEBRATE LLAMA-LORD OTHER THAN BURNING A GIANT WOODEN CHICKEN (WITH AN 8-YEAR-OLD VIRGIN INSIDE)?Simple. Like I said, the president does it almost every night."Alright. No war. Until the Koreans get rambunctious. Then, we open up a can-of-'MURICA on 'em."That's absurd! We should "employ" the Koreans as adorable short little elves for our amusement! They're already used to being treated like slaves anyway! That'll get rid of the threat!"Agreed. Especially with the part about the greedy Russians. Communists..."Exactly! They're greedy! So we give them an investment in the prison industrial complex that California will create because of the Carnival, and they'll be as docile as a pup."[Incoherent long hypocritical racist religios puppet rant]"Your still being a hypocrit about the Mexicans."Also, we all know that corporations. I will still kill Romney. He stole my binder"Pfffft. Still doesn't change the fact that corporations are people who will help the carnival. Quit forwarding your EVIL LIBERAL AGENDA.I'll just address the entire criminal California point in one fell swoop.Shareholders are not pawns. The common consumer's are. As for the Lautner point, if you really care about it that much, then we'll get rid of all of the Lautners and only let the criminals rape Kardashians, giving us more fine booties to exploit, and still creating enough criminals for the prison industrial complex that will spring up around the Great Carnival.Conclusion:Pro has clearly been the better troll by relating all of his points back to the carnival in a way that clearly forwards his points, albeit with troll logic, while Con is increasingly leaning towards the non-sensical troll side. I trust that voters will see that. Remember Con, only rebuttals in the last round.

Also, you cannot be a communist and a fascist at the same time.Of course you can be! Look at Obama! He is both Hitler AND Marx, albeit in disguise.Fine, but the chicken wouldn't be wooden. It would be a robotic chicken made of the hardest metal known to man, adamantium.It MUST be wooden! HOW ELSE WOULD WE CELEBRATE LLAMA-LORD OTHER THAN BURNING A GIANT WOODEN CHICKEN (WITH AN 8-YEAR-OLD VIRGIN INSIDE)?We USA would be a carnival, and their wouldn't be a need for war,Alright. No war. Until the Koreans get rambunctious. Then, we open up a can-of-'MURICA on 'em.Mexicans are not theives! Plus, we have an endless supply, so we can execute them on the off chance that we do catch one red handed. As for Africans, we won't kidnap them. We would do what we did before and buy them from the corrupt African governments! Russia only cares about rich people anyway.Agreed. Especially with the part about the greedy Russians. Communists...Ah, but we wouldn't need Japanese money because we'd just print up all the money we need, as you said yourself!It's less about money and more about the novelty of seeing the Japanese wearing cowboy hats.How can you condemn me for stereotyping blacks when you did the same to Mexicans? Also, you never addressed my other arguments.It is simpl---wait... I don't have my troll voice on... *clears throat* Z0MGOSH!! H0W dare u! M N0T RACIALITS! IM AMURICAN! U are racialISt! I LUV EVURY BODY! U EV1L MAN! I KILL U! ILU V U! S0 MUCH! I KILL U! G0DHATE U! I LUV U CUZ G0D SED SO! U F00L U BUrn! I Laf, dIE! U DIe! Burn, u raciast. U r probly a atthiST who donz believes in G0D! U BURN UNLESS YOU B3 L1KE MEH! C0ME WIT ME! G0D LUV U!Also, we all no that Corporations. I still will kill Romney. He stole my my binder.Simply put, we must make a sacrafice for the common good of the shareholdersI prefer the term "pawn" over "shareholder". The term "sha---older" is against my religion.This "sacrifise" is not worth making.We are essentially giving up the DNA to those perverse criminals.Imagine what you are subjecting those Taylor Lautners to(I swear I'm not Gay. God hates gay people.)!1) The criminals talk to the Lautners for 3 weeks.2) The criminals meet the Lautner's families.3) The criminals marry the Lautner.What perverts they are!They should do what we do! 1) Drag the (13-year-old) Lautner into a dark alley at night.2) Duct tape its mouth so it doesn't scream.3) Take it home.4) Keep it in our basement for 10 years.5) Make sure to forcefully abort all little Lautners, despite the screaming, crying, and begging.See! Our method is much more evi---humane. No one finds out because the peasen----err, neighbors, are too stupi---err, considerate, to do anything! I mean, look at those complacen---nice little idio---err, police officers ignoring the screaming from your basement. Read my words! They are CERTAINLY not dripping with vitriol! LISTEN, ALL! IF YOU HEAR SCREAMING FROM YOUR NEIGHBOR'S HOUSE, IGNORE IT! IT'LL GO AWAY BY ITSELF... OF COURSE, SOME OF YOU ALREADY IGNORE IT... IDIOTS!
The U.S.A should be replaced with a giant carnival

"My granny says that when you print more money to pay for hospital (parking lot) stays, you cause tire-inflation. This IS good. You Socailist/Communist/Fascist/Atheist/Muslim(Terrificist!"If you concede that printing money is good, then you must admit that it is a failsafe in case we need more money, therefore taking care of any financial problems. Also, you cannot be a communist and a fascist at the same time. A communist believes in government control of business, while Fascist believe in business takeover of government."I concede that we can make Rhode Island a parking lot ON THE STIPULATION THAT WE AGREE TO ALSO ENCAPSOLATE THE PARKING LOT WITH A GIANT WOODEN CHICKEN!"Fine, but the chicken wouldn't be wooden. It would be a robotic chicken made of the hardest metal known to man, adamantium. It is going to be a hundred stories tall."Why not? I agree, but I would suggest we hire Muslims (Obama supporters") to fly airplanes into the taller/skyscrapers."Why would we do that? We wouldn't need false flag attacks anymore because the USA would be a carnival, and their wouldn't be a need for war, because everyone would love the carnival."What is wrong with you? The Mexicans will steal something. As for the African servants, if we kidnap africans, that stupid Russia will comand attack."Mexicans are not theives! Plus, we have an endless supply, so we can execute them on the off chance that we do catch one red handed. As for Africans, we won't kidnap them. We would do what we did before and buy them from the corrupt African governments! Russia only cares about rich people anyway. "About the hats: Japanese have money that would pay for the giant wooden chicken. Also, knowing the Japanese, they would be overjoyed by their comboy hats. They'ld create robot-cowboy-hats! These hats would also be flotation devices in event of a flood."Ah, but we wouldn't need Japanese money because we'd just print up all the money we need, as you said yourself! If the Japanese loved cowboy hats, why don't they make it themselves, or better yet, let our massive debt we owe to them be paid off in hats! As for the flotation devices, we could just use nuclear powered devices!crime will die out because of the angelic DNA"Why do they get the angelic DNA?Why can't good people get it? Charlie Sheen has Adonis DNA. What about me? Why can't we all live in a place where every guy has a Taylor Lautner body?Before you ask, I'm NOT gay. God hates gay people. Love thy enemy except for gay people? I WANNA LIVE IN HOTEL CALIFORNIA! "Simply put, we must make a sacrafice for the common good of the shareholders, and the pawns- I mean commoners.He's Black" [Long incoherent rant about racism]"How can you condemn me for stereotyping blacks when you did the same to Mexicans? Also, you never addressed my other arguments.
Pepsi better than coca cola

Burden of Proof The burden of proof clearly rests solely upon Pro within this debate, as they are attempting to prove that Pepsi is better than Coca Cola, while Con must not prove anything, merely cast doubt upon Pro's arguments. As such, if Pro fails to prove that Pepsi is better than Coca Cola, then Con wins. --- Objectivity In order to prove that Pepsi is better than Coca Cola, Pro must provide (an) objective method(s) of measuring "better" and (a) valid reason(s) for its/their adoption. This is because the resolution is an objective statement, rather than a subjective statement, and requires objective proof. As such, if Pro fails to provide (an) objective method(s) of measuring "better" and (a) valid reason(s) for its/their adoption, then Con wins. --- Rebuttals: A: Pro: "Coca cola tastes better" 1: Pro must first prove this to be true. 2: Pro must provide (A) a reason why this is not valid ground for objectively considering Coca Cola better (or is valid for considering it worse), and/or (B) a reason why other points outweigh this one. B: Pro: "Coca cola ... run by Zionist Jews" 1: See A1. 2: See A2. C: Pro: "Pepsi last longer" 1: See A1. 2: See A2. 3: Please note the grammatical error; "last" should be singular. D: Pro: "Pepsi ... tastes better when flat" 1: See A1. 2: See A2. 3: This contradicts Pro's statement A. If, as Pro asserts, "Coca cola tastes better", then it *always* tastes better. However, statement D asserts that *sometimes* Coca Cola tastes worse. Only one can be correct. E: Pro: "Pepsi ... helps with digestion drink with meal and you will be on the sh!tter in less than 5 minutes guaranteed ." 1: See A1. 2: See A2. 3: Please note the grammatical error; "digestion drink" should be "digestion; drink" or similar. 4: Please note the curse word-involving "sh!tter". 5: Please note the grammatical error; "guaranteed ." should be "guaranteed." --- Summary: Pro has failed to provide an objective method of measurement and thus fails Pro's burden of proof; hence, Con is winning.
Taking a Stand Against Climate Change with Greener Technologies

I also must admit that my opponent has put forth very valid arguments, some of which I greatly agree with. I hope that in the future -- when I am a more developed debater -- I may challenge him again. As for my correlation of CO2 to warming, I must stand strong with it. I am aware that it was not the largest factor, but this correlation rate will continue to drop as the ppm of Carbon Dioxide rises, as it is an inverse equality. This is not me conceding the fact that there is a correlation, but that as our world becomes more laden with CO2, each molecule will have less and less of an effect. 1. Global Warming is real and is a threatI do not believe in Global Warming, as it means to show that the whole planet is warming (which I do not believe), but I understand the general use of the term now, even in ways to describe climate change. I believe that there is a vast change in our climate, and will continue to be as such. Perhaps now our data is biased on both sides, pro- or con-climate change.2. Caused by humansI am well aware of the natural cycles of warming in Earth's geological history. Never before have we experienced such a sharp upward clime of Carbonppm without a natural calamity (such as eruptions, meteor collisions, etc. ). To refute Con's claims on the 2,000-3,000ppm pf Carbon 60mya, I will use the same data as in my round 3. I used data from 66mya, 60mya, and 58mya, just to make sure I had all my bases covered, in case of his 60mya figure being an estimate. My attempted refute on your round2 source 7 was based on the grounds that our methods of measuring have become more efficient and accurate, so the data could be deemed inaccurate today (only a speculation).3. Fixing the problemWe are not ready to drop non-renewable fossil fuels. The profit is greater, and the amount of energy produced from these fuels far exceeds renewable energy. Hopefully, that can change. If not for a hopefully cleaner planet, then simply for the fact that we are going to run out one day. However, we will continue to grow in our ability to produce cheaper sustainable energy. In conclusion I have done the best in my ability to refute the claims Con has made and stabilize my views and hopes for the future. I hope to one day challenge another debater to a similar topic when I am more experienced.
Taking a Stand Against Climate Change with Greener Technologies

If you were born after February 1985, [1] you have never experienced a colder than average month. This, coupled with obvious decrease in Arctic, Antarctic, and Greenland ice sheets is a frightening sight. [2] It may seem obvious to most that this is a terrible thing, as sea levels rise and weather patterns change, we could be in a peck of trouble. However, there are always those who believe that Climate Change is just a hoax, thought up by Liberal politicians and science advocates. To them, I say, "Nay!" for you would be incorrect. In the last years, climate change is beginning to gain conclusive evidence to support it's existence. As the world becomes less of what it was a century ago, we must adopt new technologies and policies to save our Blue Planet and the beautiful life that exists on it (because, hey. No where else have we found life.). This is our home, and even if it means sacrificing a little of our hard-earned cash to save it, we must do everything we can. I await a wonderfully vivid debate!
