Its none of your business

To be honest, I don't think your argument makes any sense. You are pretty much saying that if they will get caught with the information that we have out there now, lets throw more information at them! If you hadn't turned off the commenting I'm sure that I would have quite a few people on my side. Because who wants some random guy in a trench coat (I am implying that they are a shady figure) running around with their credit car numbers spending their hard earned cash. So, I hope that you will be completely fine with someone becoming you over night, spending YOUR money, and getting YOU into trouble. Then you will be able to understand why "It's none of your business." Also since you did a little bragging at the end of you argument, I thought that I would correct your statement: "Vote con. Because safety IS all our business." It should be: "Vote con, because safety IS our business." or "Vote con, because safety is ALL of our business." That was my little bragging thing...or just living up to my name, I'm not sure which is right.

Hockey is better than soccer

Thanks, Leojm for your response. I would like to respond to my opponent's argument. 1. "In soccer you are constantly moving to run after the ball." Most of the game is spent with the teams passing the ball around to get organized. 2. "Soccer has overtimes too. If they get a tie. Also professional soccer is longer than a mini league." In soccer, if you give up a goal, you still have a chance to win. There is still room for error. In hockey, if you give up a goal in overtime, the game is over. There is no room for error in hockey. 3. "Soccer fans are crazy when it comes to soccer matches. Soccer also dates way back to BC. Romans also played soccer. Soccer is liked all over the world." My opponent did not show how soccer isn't rigged. 4. "Soccer has a lot of action. There are constantly horrible injuries. People get kicked in the face, get knocked out, and break their legs. It"s a dangerous sport. By the way, people love a fight that"s why the referees let the fights go on." Injuries do not make a sport entertaining. In fact, injuries slow the game down. 5. "Also soccer wins the World Cup." The same argument can be made about hockey. In the NHL, teams compete for the Stanley Cup, which is known to many people as the best trophy in professional sports.
Hockey is better than soccer

1. "In soccer, numerous parts of the game are spent teams getting organized, and just passing the ball around. In hockey, nobody slows down. " This is not always true. In soccer you are constantly moving to run after the ball. 2. "unlike soccer, which is timed to end at a specific time, Hockey has it's own schedule. Overtime hockey is a must-see, as it's a winner take all battle. " This is also not right. Soccer has overtimes too. If they get a tie. Also professional soccer is longer than a mini league. 3. "Nobody likes watching a rigged sport" I"m sorry but I disagree with you on this one. Soccer fans are crazy when it comes to soccer matches. Soccer also dates way back to BC. Romans also played soccer. Soccer is liked all over the world. 4. Action. Soccer has a lot of action. There are constantly horrible injuries. People get kicked in the face, get knocked out, and break their legs. It"s a dangerous sport. By the way, people love a fight that"s why the referees let the fights go on. 5.

My resources: . http://www.historyofsoccer.info... Also soccer wins the World Cup. My next argument I will make my points of why soccer is better than hockey.
Hockey is better than soccer

Thank Leojm for accepting. Hockey is better than soccer for numerous reasons; 1: Action. http://www.youtube.com... People love hockey because of the action. This video show how exciting hockey is. (Note: once the video reaches 1:20, skip ahead to 4:15). From the fighting, to the always tense 3rd period, the action is amazing. In soccer, numerous parts of the game are spent teams getting organized, and just passing the ball around. In hockey, nobody slows down. The game always has teams going full steam. 2: Speed, unlike soccer, which is timed to end at a specific time, Hockey has it's own schedule. Overtime hockey is a must-see, as it's a winner take all battle. 3: Soccer has been known to have had some problems with match fixing. In 2006, it was alleged that France paid $25 Million dollars to Brazil to win its match in the world cup quarterfinals. Also, earlier this year, The UEFA champions league was alleged to have rigged over 600 matches. Nobody likes watching a rigged sport. Sources: http://www.sportingnews.com...
Hockey is better than soccer

Right now most of the countries play soccer. Even in South America, Europe, United States, Asia, Mexico, and many more. You will be able to see 11 players kicking a ball around, through, and against the other 11 opponents in order to get the ball into the goal. It's not hard to set up in a soccer game. I mean you wouldn't even know much about soccer and if you see a set up right away a light bulb in your brain turns on, and wala you figure out it's soccer. Now don't forget the pub culture. The players on both sides and their fans went to get a drink and a bite before and after the game. Now, this is a great way to get involved with your fans; which is always a thumbs up. They would laugh and sing together and just having a great ole time. Even If you are not such a big soccer fan, but when you hear these names such as, Pele and David Beckham, your brain will light up and boom, you would say, " Hey, I've heard of these people, even though I don't fallow soccer that well." Now can you do that with hockey? Soccer has grown dramatically in almost every country. It is also one of the few sports that women can play in the professional leagues. There are many countries who are very talented in this sport, including USA. Soccer has always been an exciting sport to watch, especially the fans. Once again I would like to thank my opponent for debating me on this subject. This was a wonderful debate. Oh one more thing, when my opponent mentioned that just because a sport is dangerous doesn't make it the best sport. Well I would like to say that people love dangerous sports. It gets your heart racing, and people just love that feeling.
Music and art should not be cut from education

Yes, the arts (of all forms) are beneficial to young people, however, I feel it's not the school's job to provide them. School is simply a place to learn the academics, that's what the tax payers pay for. This won't be the end of art for young ones, but it shouldn't be taught in public schools. If you drive around an average town chances are, you'll see many places where arts are taught, such as a music lessons place, a theater studio, etc. Not to mention in the time of the Internet there are a lot more ways to learn about various types of art and gain just as much knowledge as you would in a class. Not to mention, art is one of those things that should not be taught in a classroom setting. The marking is too bias, for such as subjective discipline. It would often lead to teachers imposing their bias and trying to say there is one way to do thing, for a one size fits all teachers like to do. This doesn't help the actual student, unless they happen to do things the same way as the teacher, naturally. This is my first debate too so we'll see how it goes.
Escape Plan!

I put really no restrictions on the prison. Technically you could've had the electronic dog collars, and put merely two prisoners inside, with 1000 freaking guards watching them 24/7, merely random jelly with water in it for all three meals, and a prison inside a prison inside a prison inside a prison inside a prison, and you still wouldn't have broken the rules. Good debate, I learned my lesson and the next time I do this it's gonna be much better and fair.Sorry for wasting your judges' time, I know this is a front page debate but, I made a mistake, and that mistake killed me. I know my plan stinks while Zaradi's plan is fool-proof. Game over, my opponent wins.Vote my opponent.
Escape Plan!

http://www.youtube.com...Watch the video to get pumped upRound one acceptanceRound two we each describe a probable prison (it can be imaginary), with the layout (it can also be drawn, saved as a picture, then uploaded onto Debate.org within a photo album so as to copy and paste it into this debate)--don't forget the Isolation Chambers!! Also note in what kind of environment the prison is--are you going to copy Escape Plan and put me in the ocean near Morocco, or are you gonna put me in a typical town jail? Guard's routines-do they all just sit in a room staring at cameras all day long, or do they pace about outside the cells? Include the prisoners' routines too, with at least 6 breaks throughout the day where they aren't in their cells, 3 breaks in which they eat all their daily meals; maybe you can also include the warden's personality and knowledge, if that helps us escape the prison, and possible outside help (lunch, dinner, etc....how could the prisoners communicate with each other?) Post as much useful details, such as how the prisons are locked, what the walls are made out of, what exactly is served for lunch ("You have very good chocolate milk"), etc.Round three we post our "escape plans" for how we escape the prisons. All we have to do is to make it out of the prison enough for police cars to actually drive to get us (we can't just stand outside of the prison, we have to be able to stand like at least 100 meters away from the physical prison itself)Round four we rebut each other with possible problems or flaws within each other's plans (again, try to include as much details as possible to help the opponent escape from the prison, we can message each other and type up the new information in the response rounds). Round five final rebuttals and conclusion Good luck and have fun to whoever accepts.
Theistic evolution is a way to explain animals and humans today

"I asked you the question and you continue to dodge them. You can't answer them, so you call them an "argument of ignorance." The reason why I accept god ove r the multi universe theory is that someone would have had to make the universes and their components. The theory makes no sense. If they are exact copies, then they would have the same result" I've answered the questions he posted. He does not realize that different variations of simultaneous causation can indeed occur.. He asked my where the universe came from, I answered! and he refused to believe int was an "adequate" assertion. "Make this clearer. I have no idea what you are implying here" You told me I don't know what god's plan is... Pro does a phenomenal job presenting evidence of evolution, but he does not explain any of his evidence. He literally gives 0 reasons as to why this supports evolution, but says the evidence he gave was satisfactory. If one does not explain the evidence, it is meaningless. The skulls also do not prove evolution. There is no reason to assume they do. Pro then tries to change the terms of the debate in his final round by saying it's just god, not the Christian god. I reject this notion' I'm sorry. Pro's entire case hasn't been proven. He uses unproven assertions to support his case, which wasn't even made..
Theistic evolution is a way to explain animals and humans today

Rebuttal 1: Dispite his best effort, he could not refute this to his best ability. Skulls show the evolution process. (1) as you can see from the link, you can easily see evolution of the human skull. Again, huge similarities. I have provided DNA proof of evolution. He also failed to give a rebuttal to my statement that we share 5% of our genome sequence with dogs. He also do not know what god planned. We deal with mutations every day. Mutations is how evolution started. For example, an increased number of people are being born with two sets of DNA. This may be the next step in human evolution! (2) see how you something as simple as this can alter humans this much. This shows how easy evolution can start. Now, just like regular evolution, it may take a lot of years for all humans to be like this. This proves evolution again. Rebuttal 2: Then who made the universe? Who made the planets? Who made the animals? Who made the stars? You just can't answer that. Also, I don't even see how this theory plays into this. There are other universes, but who made them? How did the cells and elements reach us? Again, you can not tell which came first. The chicken or the egg? You just dodged the question. You also failed to refute my statements adequately. Rebuttal 3: Again, you fail to address the issue of the less complex organisms evolving first. I said he either created them or their ancestor. Lets go with the ladder. He made their ancestor. I also apologize for an error I made while writing my arguments. I meant non self pollinating plants. Not self pollinating plants. I think I proved my point. I look forward to your rebuttals. 1. http://www.infovisual.info... 2. http://santacruz.hubpages.com...
Theistic evolution is a way to explain animals and humans today

Case 1: First, I would like to prove how evolution is real. In a shocking discovery, we share 98.6% of our DNA with an ape. (1) if you click into link, you can barely tell the ape and human chromosome apart! Yet, when you compare it to a mouse's chromosomes, you can clearly see the difference. This proves that the ape and humans are greatly related. This proves evolution. Still not satisfied? Well, we should prove evolution using man's best friend. It is proven we share 5% of our genome sequence with dogs and mouse. (2) this again proves evolution. Even dogs and mice have a scientific similarity! I think I have proven evolution true. However, I will now prove it is not possible without the existence of god. Case 2: Let's start out with the classic question. Which came first? The chicken or the egg? While regular atheist evolutionist have a lot of trouble answering the question, people who believe in theistic evolution do not. The atheist think life was not created, but knows that you need a male and female sex cell to produce offspring in animals who sexually reproduce. While, people who believe in theistic evolution have not problem answering this. God created the chicken or his ancestor. So they then say that god created the chicken, or god created the ancestor of the chicken, and it evolved into a chicken. My next case is that everything would have to evolve at the same time for an our Eco-system to be the way it is now. Think of the flower bee relationship. Flowers are less complex than bees, and would take a shorter time to evolve. This would mean that all the self pollinating flowers would die off because the bees did not evolve in time. Atheist also have problems giving a explanation for this. While people who believe in theistic evolution can easily explain it. God created the bees and flowers ancestor, so they were able to survive and evolve. I think these are sound arguments that proves that theistic evolution is a way to explain animals and humans today. Thank you for reading my argument. I hand the debate over to a highly respected debater DudeStop. 1. http://www.amnh.org... 2. http://news.nationalgeographic.com...
THB Donald Trump's existence is good for the world.

In 2012 , the Republican party received 65,000,000 votes. Donald Trump stands at about 41% percent( real politics average) in all republican poll votes. Donald Trump is also leading in the current primary delegate math by a large margin. Therefore, it can be argued that a large portion of the US argues that " Trump " is not racist. Clearly the main pro-claimers of this would be the opposing party( democrats). 1. How can you claim Donald Trump racism benefits all of the world, when 32,000,000 declare him not to be a racist in the first place? World being every single person on/from this planet." - These are his/ her own words by the way. The second argument proposed by the Pro is clearly derailing, I did not come here to talk to a Troll.
THB Donald Trump's existence is good for the world.

What con has missed in my debate is that you don't need to know about Trump to benefit from him. The consequences of Trumps existence will be that people will be less inclined to their racist and ignorant views. So even if you don't know him Trump will, indirectly, create a society that is more accepting of all people. So con might say that what about a tribe in south America, well they might come out/ there children might and they will be welcomed by a more accepting society and in this way Trump has helped even them. So no, many people don't know of Trump but what he is indirectly doing, is showing how racism is ugly, stupid and incorrect. Through this we can start to see the negatives of racism. And unlike dead troops, no one is dying.
THB Donald Trump's existence is good for the world.

Donald Trump only receives more media attention than the common individual, thus creating a sense of a well-known publicized individual. To make the claim that he has been beneficial to the world is absurd,considering not all individuals on the world have even heard of Donald Trump. In order to be warned about his flaws, you would first need to hear about him. If your rational is surrounded around the idea of him(Trump) being the " Anti-Christ", which is an individual who will by understanding bring no good will to the planet, then how can you claim that Trump is good for the globe? That's the rationale of the West Borough baptist church. Dead troops should be good, because it warns us what to be worried about(http://www.godhatesfags...).
THB Donald Trump's existence is good for the world.

Is Donald Trump good for every single person in the world? Well at first glance of course not. Of course this racist rash and near stupid man is bad for nearly everyone, who in there right mind would ever support such a character? But the fact is that he brings something to the table that will benefit everyone in the entire world eventually. I would like to introduce the time range of this as I believe if you help the next generations then this will help the current generation as they will benefit as they would be happy that there children have a better life. What Trump brings in the short term is ignorance however my main point is that this in highlighting his ignorance this world can transcend it, we can see the flaws of Trump and move on
THB Donald Trump's existence is good for the world.

THB Donald Trump's existence is good for the world. " World being every single person on/from this planet." - These are his/ her own words by the way. As the Pro mentioned, Donald Trump must be a positive to every single human being on the planet. This is quite an extraordinarily claim. I will first create an index of the people Donald Trump might not have moved in a positive direction; which will be based on the following: testimony, civil litigation's, and news networks accounts. 0. Short hand of the possible outlook of the argument. (http://lawnewz.com...) 1. Scotland Golf Course 2. Trump University I mean, a civil suit is not filed for no reason.
THB Donald Trump's existence is good for the world.

This House Believes Donald Trump's existence is good for the world. > World being every single person on/from this planet. (Not environment) My debate should circulate around statements such as 'Donald Trump should just disappear' or 'Donald Trump is the anti-Christ'. I will be debating the side that Donald Trump's existence is good for the world. This can consist of policies, personal life and opinions. (I am by no means racist/prejudiced btw) This will be in any style you want! I look forward to whomever chooses to take the side against Trump and I hope we can have an enlightening, educated, entertaining debate and even become friends later Debating begins in Round 2.
