The legalization of Marijuana will cause more harm than good.

Omnomnomnomnomnomnom :D I really don't feel like arguing, anymore. To be honest. I'm in a veery good mood and being all srs face ruins it. Besides, I think the state of California read this and agreed with me xP Marijuana is a gateway drug, and can lead to users doing MUCH worse things, as seen in the video. http://www.youtube.com... :)
The legalization of Marijuana will cause more harm than good.

Sorry. ) for allowing me another round to respond, and I'm sure we all had a good Halloween weekend filled with lots of. .. Tobacco and alcohol. :) JUST KIDDING. I would never let smoke from that nasty, brown plant touch my lungs. Nor would I allow some stinky yeast infested liquid in or around my body. Furthermore, I will be referring back to your rebuttal of rebuttal in my next argument. So please do not think I am disregarding your first contention. Thank you. About your second contention; "The amount of tar in one Marijuana cigarette is equal to TWENTY regular cigarettes,and contains 50-70% more carcinogens than Tobacco" I don't exactly believe this statement, but I'm low on time. In this case, I'll put more into my next argument about the effects on the lungs; however, Marijuana does not have to be smoked. There are MANY other forms of getting THC into your system: Lip balms, lotions, candy, creams, food, etc. "Secondly, the fact that many Marijuana users mix Marijuana with Tobacco provides that they probably have already carelessly threw a cigarette butt out the window at some point, since they smoke it. " If a Marijuana user mixes their green with that nasty brown stuff, they probably can't afford enough Marijuana to fill whatever they're smoking out of. Also, Marijuana is not only smoked through a joint or blunt. There are many other paraphernalia for the cause: pipes, bongs, hookas, etc. "Marijuana users are often tardy to work more often than non-users, have increased absences, accidents, workers' compensation claims, and job turnover. " I can't find a source for the above, therefore I have no reason to respond. Now I'll add just a little bit of a contention; Pros of using Marijuana: Marijuana has many medical uses [1]; it can help treat arthritis [2]; it can be used in many lotions, oils, and a wide variety of other beneficial things; the list goes on, but I'm short on time. I vow that my next argument will be well worth while. Cons of using Marijuana: <--- This section is for the Pro to fill out. Lastly, I'd like to point out and remember when the Pro stated that my sources were often left-leaning and pro Marijuana. Well, his sources are often right-leaning or hardly credible (FOXnews, urban dictionary, drug abuse) Sorry for the short debate, next round will be WELL worth while. Thanks for reading.

The legalization of Marijuana will cause more harm than good.

EnlightenedEntity has repeatedly proposed just what the title says, so he obviously has the burden of proof; however, I would like to start off a few things by outlining a few definitions: harm - physical injury or mental damage; hurt good - for the better; beneficial Sources: http://dictionary.reference.com... (For good, there are 58 definitions and none represent what I would like to state precisely enough. So the above is the general consensus, given the surrounding sentence, for the word.
Socrates should have drank the Hemlock.

Yes, we can both conclude that the Almighty indeed controls our every decision and nature itself. The Almighty implants the power into the human which the humans are not able to control their actions that the Almighty makes them do. The Athenians do go against nature by having Socrates sentenced to death. They go against it because there were other options besides sentenced to death. I disagree with your statement "Socrates should not have drank the Hemlock than he would only be proving to break laws in corrupting the youth" because with him not drinking the Hemlock does not have anything to do with him breaking laws by corrupting the youth. With him corrupting the youth is completely irrelevant to him not drinking the Hemlock. Socrates would not have to worry about living in shame because he would have left the town and fled to another town where people were not familiar with him and have no prior knowledge of who is he actually is and what his beliefs are. I still believe that he should not have drank the Hemlock because he is committing suicide which is going against nature because Socrates has all control over a suicide but he has no power by which nature chooses his death. A suicide goes outside the flow of nature, nature happens regulary and nothing is expected or planned. But a suicide is a planned death, therefore Socrates altered nature by drinking the Hemlock.
Socrates should have drank the Hemlock.

You say "Socrates believes that the Almighty has all the answers and is controlling him and sets him straight telling what choices need to be made in order to reach his inner self." By making that statement you would agree that the Almighty indeed controls our every decision and is nature itself. And if you do agree you might as well agree that no being has the power to alter nature since its already in the plan of god. Since like you say the Almighty controls Socrates as he does everything else. We can then conclude, it was in the will of god that Socrates poisoned himself and fulfilled his destiny.And if it was in the will of god whom which is nature then Socrates conformed to natures cause. And if you say it wasn't and think it is against nature then you must say the Athenians have gone against nature by sentencing Socrates to death. Wouldn't that be altering nature and transgressing the will of God? And if Like you say Socrates should not have drank the Hemlock than he would only be proving to break laws in corrupting the youth. We agreed Socrates lived his life nobly and justly would he dare tarnish his image by escaping and living in shame? I think not. He will follow through what he has agreed to do since it is the will of the Almighty which we agreed he follows as well as his spirit guide. And since we agreed that is true then we can agree that nature would not have been altered and in fact nature will continue to go on.
Socrates should have drank the Hemlock.

I took a look at David Hume`s "On Suicide" and found an interesting point. Socrates believes that the Almighty has all the answers and is controlling him and sets him straight telling what choices need to be made in order to reach his inner self. But what the Almighty does is out of the control of the human. "Divine providence is still inviolate, and placed far beyond hte reach of human injuries." This is saying that the powers implanted in a human are out of their control. These powers can cause a mis flow of the universe which is not supposed to happen, this would be altering the natural flow of things, which by doing that who knows what could happen. Says the old Roman superstition "It is impious to divert rivers from their course, or invade the prerogatives of nature." With this being said I believe it is impious for Socrates to divert nature by drinking the Hemlock. Mentioning back to what you said, ". It is to say drinking the hemlock must be death of a natural cause, since, nature itself has given Socrates the power of free disposal to his own life. And so would they that not be natural?" It is not natural because a natural death means dont plan your death, you die unexpectedly or die of natural causes, old age etc. By drinking the Hemlock he knows he will die therefore diverting the course of nature.
Socrates should have drank the Hemlock.

Interesting that you refer to David Hume's "On Suicide". Looking back on the same paragraph you cited notice he concludes this " Has not every one of consequence the free disposal of his own life? And may he not lawfully employ that power with which nature has endowed him?" Following your statement David Hume comes to this conclusion. It is to say drinking the hemlock must be death of a natural cause, since, nature itself has given Socrates the power of free disposal to his own life. And so would they that not be natural? Wouldn't he be dying honorably? If you take a look at the "Enchiridion" by Epictetus he end his writing with this " O Crito, if it thus pleases the gods, thus let it be. Anytus and Melitus may kill me indeed, but hurt me they cannot." By taking the death sentence Socrates is pleasing the gods. He is doing exactly what he what he he believes in, which is to live honorably. He is abiding the law he has conformed to.
Socrates should have drank the Hemlock.

Yes, I am saying that the best way to reach his inner self was by death. But by drinking the Hemlock is not a natural death. Dying is natural and inevitably happens to everyone, but the hemlock is a poisonious drink which is not natural. According to Socrates you can not plan a death as it comes naturally. By drinking the Hemlock he is already planning his death. He is going to drink it on this day and then he is going to die. Technically he reaches his inner self because he has died, but the death was planned. Having a trial for his case of corrupting the youth which sentenced him to death on a certain day is planned am I right? With that being said there is no way the death could have been natural because his death was set for a certain day and he was expecting it. I believe a natural death is something that is not preventable and you can not predict it. David Hume states that "What is the meaning then of that principle, that a man, who, tired of life, and hunted by pain and misery, bravely overcomes all the natural terrors of death, and makes his escape from this cruel scene; that such a man, I say, has incurred the indignation of his creator, by encroaching on the office of divine provident; and disturbing the order of the universe?" So by having Socrates drink the Hemlock he is doing wrong by disturbing the flow of the universe.
Socrates should have drank the Hemlock.

So, you say the best way to reach himself and his inner self was death. By drinking the Hemlock would that not have been reaching his goal? Wouldn't drinking the Hemlock be tantamount to dying naturally since Socrates was to adhere to his death sentence? And if Socrates believed himself to be justly and noble and as you say he would refuse to escape and shuffle around his agreement. That being said, He would follow through with his agreement of his death sentence would he not? And if the Daemon Told Socrates "Freeing Socrates' s body was by death and any form" then Socrates indeed listened to him by doing so. However, you say "Socrates believed we should die of natural causes." So drinking the Hemlock indeed is a natural cause. Since, dying is natural and all a part of gods plan Socrates could not have been going against nature by killing himself in fact, he fulfilled the Almighty's plan. I will paraphrase a statement by David Hume in which he says, " No being possesses the power to alter nature or disorder the universe since its all in the will of the Almighty himself" ( Hume, "one Suicide", para. 12) Socrates could not have went against nature for it was already in Gods plans for him to drink the Hemlock.
Socrates should have drank the Hemlock.

Socrates should not have drank the Hemlock. He believed the best the way to be with himself and reach his inner self was death. Socrates was forced to drink the hemlock because they found him guilty of corrupting the youth but he was an unique individual compared to your average person. But Socrates also believed that killing yourself with a posionous remedy was not the answer to freeing your spirit. Socrates believed that death is not supposed to be planned and that it is supposed to happen naturally. Socrates should not have listened to his spirit guide known as "Daemon". Daemon was holding Socrates back from going to another city state. Socrates could have possibly escaped punishment if he ran away from the town, he tried offfering other options to the people so he would not have to be killed through poison. Socrates believed that Daemon was always right but i dont beleive this is always the case. Socrates believed in dying naturally and Daemon believed that freeing Socrates soul from his body was by death and any form of death.
Socrates should have drank the Hemlock.

Socrates indeed should have drank the Hemlock. Socrates believed in living justly and honorably. In his perspective to live well was to live honorably and justly. Hence, the decision to drink the Hemlock. To not follow through with his unwritten agreement with the Athenians would have been equally unjust as running away without Athenian consent. With that being said, Socrates whom is not afraid of death, in fact desires death to free his spirit from his body which he believed to be the prison of his soul. He was not only being freed from the corrupt world and body but also dying justly and nobly. Socrates, had a "Daemon" known as a spirit guide which he believed guided him to only do right. He heard this voice murmur in his head guiding him from escaping and taking refuge in Thessaly. For he had not knew what that outcome would be and how he would be perceived in another city-state.
Autumn Is The Best Season

"Yes comfort is subjective. However, so is my opponent's comment on hobos. " Everything is subjective in this debate. My opponent's opinion is that autumn is the best season, and mine is that it isn't. "He cannot know what a hobo feels happier about unless he has been one or spoken with one" I live in a city with lots of Hobos (Milwaukee). They mostly migrate south and come back for the summer, indicating their preference not to freeze during the Milwaukee Autumns. "as a whole, there are more people who celebrate the holiday's then people that don't" I suppose its subjective then. People like stuff, food, and hanging out with family, something the Christmas holiday (and winter season) accommodates to maximum efficiency, given that most people have time off. Arguments pertaining to Yom Kipper: "They all seem very joyous and happy as they sing together and dance in honor of Yom Kippur" They are actually dancing in honor of the occupy movement. What you see in these videos has nothing to do with Yom Kipper and in no way reflects anything to do with the holiday. This is a political event involving Jews, incidentally taking place on or around Yom Kipper. "I can't see how it isn't a happy time for Jewish families" It's not an unhappy time per se'. It's simply not a time for dancing and merriment. Naturally there are many ways to observe this holiday, but the theme is solemnity in the face of eternal judgment. The holiday is however considered the holiest of the Jewish year, and in this sense brings meaning to those who recognize the spiritual importance. Whether this is internalized as joy or not, is obviously subjective. But I'm confident most Jews are happy it only comes but once a year. "for the thousands of people who struggle with breast cancer, October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month" Breast cancer is a serious issue and it's great that October is a national month for awareness of it. March is self-harm awareness month. April is jazz appreciation month. May is Cystic fibrosis awareness month, Haitian heritage month, borderline personality disorder month, asthma awareness month, national guide dog month, Jewish American heritage month, social media month, among others. June is Caribbean American heritage month. And July is national Vehicle theft protection month. So other months gives us lots of events creating awareness, making it better than autumn. I would like to once again thank my opponent for this debate, and look forward to her final arguments. [1] . http://en.wikipedia.org...
Autumn Is The Best Season

It's fine. I am not here to feel appreciated by a complete stranger. I am here to debate my argument. "Comfort is subjective." Yes comfort is subjective. However, so is my opponent's comment on hobos. He cannot know what a hobo feels happier about unless he has been one or spoken with one. I say comfortable weather because majority of people like summer until it gets uncomfortably hot where we get weather warnings to stay indoors near an AC to keep cool. This doesn't happen in Autumn. "…not everyone like the holidays" As my opponent says, not everyone likes holidays. Therefore some might prefer summer and its fewer holidays. My opponent cut off my full claim and only used one sentence to make it state what he wanted to manipulate my comment. The full comment was that, "No, not everyone like the holidays. But as a whole, there are more people who celebrate the holiday's then people that don't which are why during these holidays, the stores are packed with people and the stores make so much profit around the holidays compared to other days throughout the year." "While my opponent and I fully agree that profit is what makes the world great, winter is better for this than autumn." Actually Thanksgiving, Halloween, and school shopping for all kids and young adults from elementary school up to college is highly profitable which takes place during the early Fall when they get their list of school supplies from their teachers/professors. "Yom Kippur is a holiday recognizing the period set for atonement and judgment. Jewish observation of Yom Kippur is in recognition of being judged for sins of the year. It is a 25-hour long fast, in which one cannot drink or eat (hence fast). There is nothing the least bit festive about it. It is not a celebration in any conventional sense, and its tone is closer to that of a funeral." http://www.youtube.com... http://www.youtube.com... They all seem very joyous and happy as they sing together and dance in honor of Yom Kippur on Wall Street amongst the occupiers on Wall Street. Therefore, I can't see how it isn't a happy time for Jewish families. My opponents experience was different then other Jewish people. Autumn is an amazing season. The claims and major points my opponent points out are very perceptional. Autumn is an amazing season. Fall festivals with hay rides, pumpkin picking, candied apples, apple picking, fall crafts, fall decorating are a whole lot of fun. Also, we bake in the Fall. During the summer, nobody is baking anything because of the treacherous heat. By putting the oven on would just make it even hotter in people's homes. So, in summer you miss out on apple pie, pumpkin pie, sweet potato pie, chili, casseroles, macaroni and cheese, etc. Also, for the thousands of people who struggle with breast cancer, October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month which makes Fall a really amazing season because so many people have known someone or been inflicted themselves with this illness. Autumn is a heart-warming season.
Autumn Is The Best Season

I'd like to withdraw the appreciation offered to my opponent for this debate. "50 and 70 degrees is rather comfortable" This is rather opinionated of my opponent. Comfort is subjective. "…not everyone like the holidays" As my opponent says, not everyone likes holidays. Therefore some might prefer summer and its fewer holidays. "…the stores are packed with people and the stores make so much profit" While my opponent and I fully agree that profit is what makes the world great, winter is better for this than autumn. Christmas is in winter and very profitable. So are the Super Bowl, NHL finals, and curling. "In his particular household, they may not celebrate [Yom Kippur] much" "However, others may." Yom Kippur is a holiday recognizing the period set for atonement and judgment. Jewish observation of Yom Kippur is in recognition of being judged for sins of the year. It is a 25-hour long fast, in which one cannot drink or eat (hence fast). There is nothing the least bit festive about it. It is not a celebration in any conventional sense, and its tone is closer to that of a funeral. If my opponent can give any examples of a Yom Kippur ‘celebration' that is not how I've described, I'll consider altering this argument. However, since Yom Kippur is exactly the same across all spectrums of Judaism (with the exception of not observing it at all) this argument is rock solid. So, autumn is a worse season than summer, winter and spring, because of Yom Kippur. Purim on the other hand is a Jewish holiday that consists of mandatory drinking, (being drunk is a requirement) and it's in spring. So autumn is lame, and spring is groovy. "First off, just to clarify, autumn is not a month" As my opponent points out, autumn unfortunately lasts longer than a month. This season must be stopped before it's too late. "We do a lot of the things we do in the summer to avoid the boredom of the summer since there's no school, to stay cool, or to waste hours of daylight for we have nothing constructive to do." As my opponent established earlier, there is never a bad time to make a profit. Summer is perfect for this. By the time I was 9 years old I was selling lemonade in the ghetto at a 200% mark up. Autumn is a bummer because people are less willing to purchase over priced lemonade, restricting entrepreneurial children's desire to make massive untaxed profits. I'd like to add that anything that can't be proven in a 3 or 4 round debate is likely too needlessly complex to be true, hence this 5 round debate. As for the list my opponent concludes with, everything on that list that is fun can be done during summer, spring, or winter, and for more profit. Autumn is clearly the worst season of the year.
