No theory qualifies to be a theory of evolution

Obviously so many living organisms in the history of the Earth have had happenings related to divisibility, comparability, connectivity, sensitivity, transformability, substitutability and satisfiability. That in general is "evolution". [1] I'll explain how it can very well qualify to be a theory of evolution. Evolution is usually defined simply as changes in trait or gene frequency in a population of organisms from one generation to the next. However, evolution is often used to include the following additional claims: 1.Differences in trait composition between isolated populations over many generations may result in the origin of new species. 2.All living organisms alive today have descended from a common ancestor (or ancestral gene pool). Biological evolution may be slight or substantial; it embraces everything from slight changes in the proportion of different alleles within a population (such as those determining blood types) to the successive alterations that led from the earliest proto-organism to snails, bees, giraffes, and dandelions. [2] The term "evolution", especially when referred to as a "theory", is also used more broadly to incorporate processes such as natural selection and genetic drift. In short, claims 1 and 2 can qualify to be a theory of the origin of the divisibility, comparability, connectivity, sensitivity, transformability, substitutability and satisfiability.

No theory qualifies to be a theory of evolution

Is there any theory which explains the origin of: 1. divisibility, 2. comparability, 3. connectivity, 4. sensitivity, 5. transformability, 6. substitutability, and 7. satisfiability? Any theory which cannot explain the origin of divisibility, comparability, connectivity, sensitivity, transformability, substitutability, and satisfiability does not qualify to be a theory of evolution!
White people don't owe anyone apologies

I don't think Americans or whites owe apologies to Japan. Why? 1)Most people alive during WWII, American or Japanese, are now dead. Your grandchildren do not owe apologies for your behavior. For what purpose? If you went to Japan and apologized to them, most would look at you like you were an ancient whacko spilling a bill of goods that is meaningless today. 2)The Japanese bombed the U.S. first. They also supported the ideological regime known as the worst in all of modern human history. If you are half white and half Japanese, you are in quite the conundrum as far as satisfying any Progressive apology tour. --- Whites do not owe blacks apologies for past "wrongs". Does racism in America exist? Yes, and on both sides. With the majority? No. In a debate with Jessie Jackson Dinesh Dsouza said he could not understand where Jackson was coming from. He pointed out that He and Jessie Jackson were the same color. He naively attacked Jackson's claims of which Jackson responded,"Well, it's unspoken racism." Dsouza said this was when it hit him. The difference between his view and Jackson's view was Dsouza was from another country. He was from somewhere in the world where deadly, daily "real" racism was rampant. He said he realised Jackson was not comparing America to another country or place that actually exists on Earth. He was "comparing it to Utopia". (Dinesh Dsouza on his debate with Jessie Jackson-video reference) http://youtu.be... ----- The idea that whites need to apologize to blacks is a senseless dichotomy. Why? 1)Define whites. 2)Define blacks. Take Barack Obama for example. He's essentially half white and half black. His mom was white. His dad was black. Does he owe an apology or does he deserve to get one, and from whom exactly? And if we claim him as black, are we to consider that his black ancestors were not from America but Kenya, and never faced "American racism" by means of being Kenyans living in Kenya? 3)Do mixed raced "whites" owe apologies? 4)Do mixed raced "blacks" deserve an apology? 5)Blacks themselves had slaves in the times of slavery in the U.S. 6)Native Americans had black slaves. Do the Natives owe apologies, or does everyone owe them apologies for taking their land, and do they owe apologies to other tribes who their forefathers stole from other tribes? If you are 1/3 Native American, 1/3 Black, and 1/3 White, you are in quite a progressive leftist pickle as far as apologies are concerned. 7)The Civil War, to free the slaves was fought between? Whites and Whites. Do the Whites who fought to free the slaves get a "dat a boy" from the black community now? Probably not. 8)Blacks tend to vote Democrat by far. They stuck with the Liberal whites who are the political descendents of the KKK. The blacks in America sold out to the party of the Klan for Plantation Politics. http://www.breitbart.com... (Hillary's America trailer for anyone interested- It talks about the agenda of the holding down of blacks by plantation politics in order to enslave them still and buy votes from them at the same time. http://youtu.be...
White people don't owe anyone apologies

Apologies are one thing, and I do believe that we have likely already done this, to a certain extent. I would also probably say that using the term "white people" are too generic in most cases of owing apologies. For example, Europeans are not responsible for bombing Japan. However, eventhough I agree that Americans do owe apologies, we are definitely not the only ones who need to apologize, and are definitely owed apologies to some extent. Speaking of Japan, certainly they should apologize for launching an attack against us in the way that they did. In fact, I don't excel in the subject of history, but weren't we not even involved in the war until after they attacked us. While Japan may be a good example of us being owed apologies, other apologies owed from others to others would have to be the Arabs\Muslims owing apologies to many other nations and races. For starters, they began their expansion conquests after Muhammad began his Islam religion, his successors when south into Northern Africa. The result was the trade "triangle", or better known as the Slave Trade where new believing Muslims worked with the Arab Muslims who migrated to N. Africa and those africans that didn't convert were sold off to Europe and America. So, you see, "whites" really aren't the only ones who need to apologize for the slavery, and other people also need to apologize too, for what they did to other people.
Students and Laptops in High School

And if I don't want the torch. As you said we are advancing so there are new advances as we go on. Now with as you said getting the word out would allow students to invest in there own thus showing them how to save money and live on there own. If the laptops are school provided, then the WiFi would most likely be locked and the WiFi would already be setup on the school computers. Thus there would be filters, and probably a LAN to allow the students to get to their student information they may have saved. Yeah crap argument I know, I was short on time and tired.
Students and Laptops in High School

Thank you for the offer. I accept It is true: "if a teenager wants to access something they are going to find anyway to get to it." With the internet we are becoming more resourceful, more knowledgeable, and more skilled in the areas we want. All it really takes is knowing what you want, a decent search ability, and then the time to practice, read, and watch any information on the subject. I dont know it to be true, but there have been claims of hacking into the school with but a PSP. An account i know to be true, is that of a script kitty breaking in with a thumb drive of programs. A site that one could go to for these things is hackthissite.org its a site that promotes learning the skills on your own with logical thinking and gaining an intimate knowledge of computers and security. They will occaisionally post their own small articles, or you can find tutorials on the forums for back doors, reverse engineering, and decryption. It only takes one student to learn these skills and hand out the Key to many others. If we are talking personal laptops, just having the word out that they are allowed will encourage students to invest in one of their own. If the laptops are provided then why would the Wifi be locked? There would probably be some kind of wireless lan set up that perhaps had some filters on it for certain words or other things. At least then they could control the unlocked wifi. i pass the torch to you my dear.
Students and Laptops in High School

As you have stated, by allowing students to carry around laptops it will make it easier for people cheat. This is only true in a school environment that has a unlocked WiFi. If they have the unlocked or available WiFi for students, then they are in a way allowing the student to cheat. With that I can also address what you said about the porn. Going back to my previous argument, if the schools WiFi is locked then there is no way for the student to access it with out using the cell phone tower connection card. Which sadly to say if a teenager wants to access something they are going to find anyway to get to it. I know offer the discussion to my opponent.
Students and Laptops in High School

AAARRG im a pirate! :D In other news: Laptops would make it incredibly easy to cheat on multiple things. From just being able to help a friend caguht sleeping in class, to giving answers for homework in pretty much any class. Technology is very helpful for the quick exchange of ideas, meaning when people writing "notes" and sending answers when asked in class. Sure it's small and doesn't really affect tests, but it could impede actual learning, and in that way make test scores worse. Well, actually, after a generous smart kid takes a test and perhaps writes the answers on his arm, he could simply type it up and send a mass E-mail to a group of peers. Possibly making money no the deal. Then, there is the porn issue. i see your "oh but there are blocks and firewalls" remark coming, so i'll answer in advance. personal laptops will give free reign over many things in the system, and probably wont even be connected in any way to the school servers except for possible wifi installations. But that can be easily bypassed with a cellphone tower connection card. im short on time, and can't think of anything, so i pass the debate at my opponent Pog. Take it away! *Jazzhands!*
Students and Laptops in High School

As the the topic states this will be a discussion on whether or not students should be allowed to carry laptops at school. Definitions: All definition(s) are from http://www.m-w.com... Laptop - a portable microcomputer having its main components (as processor, keyboard, and display screen) integrated into a single unit capable of battery-powered operation If you see anything that should be defined please feel free. There is a 3,000 character limit. I will be taking the position of being for the ability to carry the laptops thus my opponent shall not want them. If you do not meet the requirements, feel free to send me a message and I will unlock it or start another with you if it is already taken.
minecraft is awsome

Minecraft is in its own specific game genre (that being creative sandbox). Sure in that genre it sure does take the cake, but overall, Minecraft cannot be the most awesome game ever because that is an opinion. Games such as Halo, Splinter cell, the Last of Us, CoD and even Battlefield generate a massive amount of gamer following just like Minecraft. Yes Minecraft has some awesome respects but some parts are extremely annoying, such as the lag when in other people seeds, the constant children who all they do is run around like idiots and people who follow Minecraft like it is "the best thing to happen to gaming". I disagree that Minecraft is the most awesome game ever, mainly because that isn't my opinion.
planned parenthood should close

Sometimes the circumstances surrounding a pregnancy are tragic. Perhaps the woman was raped. Maybe the baby has been diagnosed with a defect. Or the woman"s health might be at risk. However, one tragedy is not answered with another. We do not erase a rape by killing a child. We do not cure a baby by taking his life. And we do not avoid all health issues by avoiding the reality of another human being. Women who have been raped must be compassionately cared for. But compassionate care does not include executing a woman"s child. Parents facing a difficult prenatal diagnosis must be given real facts and directed to otherswith helpful experiences. They must not be forced into a quick choice for abortion or urged to take the life of their child instead of giving her a chance to defy the odds. Women with high-risk pregnancies must be treated by real medical professionals. But treatment does not include intentionally killing a child. (If a child dies during the course of treating the woman " i.e., during chemotherapy for cancer, removal of an ectopic pregnancy, etc. " this is not an abortion
planned parenthood should close

Did this just turn into a abortion debate? Why? We were discussing why Planned Parenthood should close or not weren't we? Look if you force a women to have a rape baby your just raping her for 9 more months. Abortion is "morally" right because more people die if you stop abortion However I don't understand why we moved away from the other discussion. All I did was refute both of your claims? Is that why?
Students learn more and have a more complete understanding of the subject if the lcass is Co-Ed.

Hello, I would like to use this round to rebut my opponents points and sum up the points of my own. I said that girls and boys get distracted in the presence of each other and are sometimes afraid to speak. My opponent countered that by saying that this was not true in his school or any of his friends schools. That is a really weak rebuttal. There are many studies to prove that we get shy in front of the other gender. It is also common knowledge. You always want to impress the other gender and you don't want to sound stupid so sometimes you refrain from speaking. I would like to list all of my previously stated points: 1. Research has been done to prove that students do better in single-sex schools. (see Round 1) 2. You get distracted by the other gender. 3. Girls and boys have different minds, scientists say, and it is important, almost necessary, to teach them separately in order to have the students properly understand the subject. 4. Faculty in single-sex schools understand their students more, and can change their lesson plan to benefit the learning styles of the specific gender. 5. Children learn to be themselves. They are free to take classes that a gender would normally not take. 6. Children grow up to fast in co-ed schools. I have clearly listed more quantity of points which also have good quality. Thanks to everyone reading this and to Randomknowledge for starting this debate. Hericome

Hello, hereicome, and I want to first say that you have gotten quite heated over some of my points. You even reverted to using personal and typing jabs (I.E check your spelling), and I may point out that this website is not "comebackputdownletsnotdebate.org," as many users find it to be. This is a website for debating, and debating only. They may become opinionly charged, but overall they are debates. And I do check my spelling. First I will analyze and REBUT your points from your brief summary. "Girls and boys get distracted in co-ed classes. They always worry about getting the other genders attention in class. This also leads to a lack of participation. They get shy and are afraid to talk in the presence of the other gender." I haveto once again say that this is opinion, as this DOES NOT happen in my school or the school of anyone I personally talk to. Therefore It cannot always be the case. "Also, statistically, children do much better academically in single-sex classes." you also said "This point is weak because like I said before, it's a statistic. You can get statistics to support any side of the debate. This is one situation, in a specific area." Now dont you think you just used statistics when you said they were weak and could support any side, as I used them? Think about that for a few moments. Now, as I like to keep my final arguments short, I will sum up my information and the information in favor of Co-Education. Often students get to hear opinions and information from a group they might not necessarily hang out with. They also get to learn different sides, as material is formulated for one genders brain (as you said) and in this case both get to experience it. Overall, my OPINION and the facts to back it up say that Co-Ed is just as good, if not better than single-sex education. Besides, where would our society be today with out our female counterparts to help us when we need it? Thank you.

I firstly want to point to somehting you said, actually a few things. You said " When my opponent stated that the students are hearing different opinions from different genders, that is untrue. Most times in co-ed classes, girls get shy, and are afraid of what the boys will think. The boys are also afraid to talk because they are afraid the girls will think they are stupid. Having single-sex classes would ensure that students will speak out. " This, I hate to say, is purely opinion. You cannot ensure that these students will speak out or not speak out. It all depends on the class, and more the person. From personal experience, I go to a co-ed school and every discussion is filled with all voices from every person, reagrdless of gender. I speak up in all my discussions and so do my friends that are girls. We all have great discussions. "even hear more because in single-sex classes, the students won't be afraid to speak" This again is conjecture. "Just because the class is co-ed doesn't mean that the students can only talk to their gender. " Of course they wont. Thus the point of a co-ed classroom. "And finally, when girls and boys are put together, they tend to grow up to fast. Why not let children be children for a little while? They have college, and their whole life ahead of them to grow up. " You just said that co-ed classrooms are inhibitors. You are contradicting yourself. Now for my arguments. These will actually be facts, hard facts. This directly from the stanstead college archive in canada talks about satisfaction with Co-Ed schools Current research shows that parents of students attending independent co-educational schools believe that a co-ed learning environment offers many benefits. A national survey conducted in 2005–2006 reveals that79% of Canadian parents with children in independent co-ed schoolsheartily agree that these schools better reflect the diversity of our society and79% believe they better prepare students to eventually enter the workforce. In addition, 71% agree that these students are better prepared to succeedin post-secondary education. Here is some more from the archive Research reveals that students at independent co-ed schools feel comfortable about who they are and have a healthy and positiveattitude and self-image. In fact, 71% of students indicate that "It is easyfor students at my school to find a group that they fit in with. " The self-confidence expressed around fitting in enables students in a co-ed environment to perform to the best of their ability and get the most outof their educational experience. As a conclusion, I would like to request more hard information in your next debate. Thank you.

As JLConservative has said in previous debates, I will make my opening statement short and sweet. I believe that it is extremely beneficial for a student to go to school Co-Ed, because the benefits definately outweigh the cons. When you have boys and girls in a classroom together, learning, there are a number of things happening. 1) The students are hearing different opinions from different genders, enhancing their discussions. 2) the TEACHER gets to hear from a number of different people. 3) (obiviously) the class is more diverse. 4) Students get to explore their usual partnerships in groups or studies. These are all great things that come with students being in a Co-Ed classroom environment. Thank you and good luck to whoever accepts.
