The ruling in Williams v. Walker-Thomas Furniture Co should be in favor of Williams.

1. Walker-Thomas Furniture Store sold furniture on a Lease to Own basis in the District of Columbia. (511.1.1) 2. Williams a regular customer for the past 5 years purchased a number of items from Walker-Thomas Furniture store. (511.3.3) 3. The furniture company has full knowledge that Williams, had 7 children, was was also receiving government assistance. (512.1.8) 4. A monthly public assistance stipend was given to Williams in the amount of $218.00 (513.1.7) 5. The furniture store took advantage of Williams conditions with their store policy that indicates that if she defaulted then all items purchased can be repossessed . (511.1.5) 6. Bargaining Power was always in favor to the Furniture Store because Williams always had an open balance to to high interest rates and service fees. (511.2.2) 7. Prior to Williams purchasing the stereo she had a balance of $164.00 (512.1.3) 8. Williams purchased a stereo set valued at $514.95 and defaulted on payments and store owner sought to repossess all items bought since 1957, that is 5 years earlier which is grossly unfair and unconscionable. (511.3.4) 9. The furniture store policy were not fair and took advantage of general public who cannot afford items they cannot afford to pay cash. (512.4.1) 10 Due to the fact that the contract was one sided and Williams did not understand that if she defaulted she stands to loose all items purchased from beginning date, the element of Unconscionability is present at the time the contract was made. (512.4.2) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 11. Therefore the contract that was made between Williams and Walker-Thomas Furniture Store was unconscionable and not in good standing. Williams had a balance of $164.00 before purchasing the stereo and all her purchases add up to only $1800.00 The amount to be collected in total by the Furniture company was $14,0000.00 How can one say that this is a fair bargain and that both parties were benefited equally. (153.Notes.1) Unconscionable contract should not be enforced because these contracts are not created to serve both parties equally. As shown above, only the Furniture store have profited from having this contract. How can taking advantage of those who are on Relief Income, have no credit and are on Public assistance helping those of lesser means. It seems that the Furniture Store portrait that they are helping those of lesser means however, when it comes down to the facts they are actually manipulating the general public and taking advantage on them. For the reason listed above unconscionable contract should not be enforced.
Life has no meaning.

If you wish to view it as " life is an end to itself." I must re argue this. Life is a means to a 'supposed' means. If you go to religion it is a 'means' to an 'end' afterlife. If you look in the manner of Nietzsche you would see that life is a means to a means. Living to living to fullest. "Those things that make your life worth living to you, purposeful, give it meaning." Perhaps, however, simply because you love something and make it your life's work, I will use baseball, does not make your life have meaning. Allow me to explain, when a player plays from little league all the way to majors he believes that this is what he was meant to do. However when he retires and people begin to forget him with new stars in play how does he feel? He loses that meaning of life he once had. He is not meaningless he has done nothing true to be remembered. However he can overcome this with the Overman idea. He can keep on living enjoying everyday just because he is there. Allow me to give you what you ask about the magic circle. I believe this is the article http://gamestudies.org... However I will list others it could be. I am sorry forgot to save this to my favorites. It could be this http://www.jesperjuul.net... I use the magic circle as a reference to real life. "For Nietzsche aesthetics provides the *standard* to judge one's actions, one does not literally become art, it provides the means to give meaning to one's actions and their source" I did not mean literal art. I meant an art work in life as one is when he dreams. To become that which you always want to be. How you want to look, how smart you are etc. You become this artwork of your imagination and push yourself to it. I use Nietzsche because I agree with his idea of the Overman who is the ultimate being which transcends normal life and its life values. However I do like your ideas. But, for the sake of debate I will continue to assert my views.

Hugo Weaving should be The Riddler in the next Batman movie

If not, he'll simply state agreed and we'll move on to the 2nd round (1st round of the debate) where I will give my argument. The topic is: Hugo Weaving should be The Riddler in the next Batman movie. The words are defined as followed: Hugo Weaving - Actor Hugo Wallace Weaving born April 4, 1960 in Austin, Nigeria aged 48. Star of such films like V for Vendetta, The Matrix Trilogy, and Transformers. Should be - Ought to be The Riddler - DC Comics Supervillain, created by Bill Finger and Dick Sprang with a first appearance in Detective Comics #140 (October 1948). Real name Edward Nigma with a notable alias that includes Edward Nashton. Next Batman Movie - Assuming The Riddler is present in the Batman movie which is the sequel to the 2008 film; The Dark Knight. My opponent has already agreed that this will be a 1 on 1 actor debate in which we the debaters will try to prove that our actor would be a superior Riddler. The actor my opponent has chosen is Johnny Depp. So therefore, me and my opponent both have the burden of proof to prove: Our actor is superior The other actor is not superior This debate will be three rounds. I would like to wish my opponent the best of luck and for a good debate. Again, if my opponent (Nobody) has no objections to this then simply state you agree so we may begin the debate in Round 2 with my opening argument.
Countries involved in war should take responsibility for the refugees their war has created.

Your contention is irrational. Countries cannot reasonably be expected to take responsibility for war refugees . . . just like they cannot be expected to rebuild every building they raze. War is destructive. That's the whole point. If Country A cared about the welfare of Country B's citizens, Country A wouldn't invade their land, kill them, destroy their neighbourhoods, make their environment dangerous and inhabitable, and leave the civilians displaced. Any country that feels morally obligated to take care of war refugees wouldn't CREATE war refugees in the first place. So, in conclusion: saying "countries involved in war should take responsibility for the refugees their war has created" is like saying "bank robbers ought to pay back the money they stole from the bank." Sure? I guess it would be nice if they did? But it's a silly thing to expect.
Countries involved in war should take responsibility for the refugees their war has created.

First off, thanks for accepting my first debate. I look forward to seeing the viewpoint of whoever chooses to stand against me. I am very much of the belief that countries who get involved in wars in which the displacement of civilians on a massive scale is inevitable, should have the decency to provide for the people they have displaced. They have enough money to create bombs and bullets, to buy warplanes and artillery and to send this mass of death-dealing hardware halfway round the world. Surely then, they have enough money to help those they have displaced?
Rubrics cubes are becoming popular again

Thanks to the pro side for this interesting topic. I would contend the cube is maintaining a relatively steady state of low popularity, and that it will be impossible for this puzzle toy to ever achieve the level of popularity it achieved at the height of the craze in the early 80s. Since that timeframe was the high water mark of cube popularity, the Pro's opening assertion is false. I am basing my assessment on not only my observations at the local high school and elementary school where my children have attended, but on my own experience. I grew up in the 80's when the cube craze hit. They were everywhere--the mall, at lunch, on the playground, etc. Not only are they nowhere near that popularity, they simply are non existent at the local schools. Given the high population density where I live, I should have seen one by now if they were coming back in popularity.
Who should keep Crimea: Ukraine or Russia?(Ukraine: Yes, Russia: No)

Have you ever considered that the news can be censored easily. That things can be covered up. Just look at Russian internet laws, the government have the power to change, delete and remove content at will. They only allow bloggers who have registered with them if they have more than a few thousand followers. Also you have not explained anything that the votes were rigged. In fact the UN has even thought that Russia themselves may have rigged the votes. You talk about ethnic cleansing, you have disproved your point. Why would Ukraine go extreme to lose all its allies, create new enemies and lose the support of the world? They would not. Just look at Israel and Gaza. Some will claim that is ethnic cleansing. How many people have protested against that? All over the globe, there has been protests. You say that ' they must be happy.' as they have not complained. Do you think that because the North Korean people have not protested world wide frequently means that they are happy? Its utter rubbish.
Who should keep Crimea: Ukraine or Russia?(Ukraine: Yes, Russia: No)

Well I don't see the crimeans complaining. Do you see in the news this?: "Crimeans protest against Russia". No? Then they must be happy. Although I do recognize that Ukraine owned Crimea and apparently still owns Crimea, there's a pro-russian majority and an ethnic russian majority. And in the ethnic cleansing, I said if they go to EXTREMES.
Who should keep Crimea: Ukraine or Russia?(Ukraine: Yes, Russia: No)

You state that there was a referendum which most countries see as rigged. Setup by the pro-Russians, voted and rigged by them. Russia has no right to even invade Crimea and clearly breached the UN rules on invasions. The ethnic cleansing that you speak of is highly unlikely as a part of Ukraine if they join the EU. By doing that, they would lose the support of all EU countries and the rest of the world.
Who should keep Crimea: Ukraine or Russia?(Ukraine: Yes, Russia: No)

Im with Russia. If the PEOPLE wanted it that way(there was a referendum, geez), and there's a russian majority, Russia is in its right to annex Crimea. Plus, in a time in the future where in Ukraine there's an ethnic pro-ukranian and ethnic pro-russian dictator/government, they might go into extremes and do ethnic cleansing.

Illegalcombatant is apart of a secret occult Illuminati group

Whitewolf has sent me this debate challenge, with some quite serious allegations. Now I hope this debate is worth my time since it takes precious time away from me from sacrificing a chicken to appease an invisible supernatural agent to give us better weather (Your Welcome). And hey, if that doesn't work we can always go up a notch and perform a human sacrifice, but hey that's just crazy, I mean people wouldn't do that ? and even if they did, I am sure that this concept of human sacrifice to appease such invisible supernatural persons wouldn't persist into the 21st century..............or would it ? I assume that Whitewolf will tell us what he means and the justification for making such allegations against such a respectful, wise, intelligent, good looking, and humble, don't forget how humble I am member of the DDO community such as myself. I look forward Whitewolfs response, and where did I put that damm chicken ?

Hello Pro. Not sure how people are going to vote on this'll, anyways, let's go: "Do you believe in aliens and why or why not?" There isn't really enough evidence to prove or disprove the existence of them. If I was forced to choose a side I'd choose yes because how many different possibilities. Maybe we could see life that isn't in carbon form, etc. "2. If you had to be a servant to a celebrity who would you choose and why?" Scarlet Johansen. Hot. "3. Cats or Dogs?" Cats. "Which dead person (before 1900) would you like to meet?" Jesus, so I could confirm whether god is real or not. My four questions: 1. What is the first image that pops into your head when I say: "Highschool"? 2. What is 2 to the fourth power divided by 6? 3. Do you prefer the game to be called football (Europe) or soccer (American)? 4. Favorite color? Good Day.
Newspapers should be made online

Accessibility? Around 7.2 billion people on this planet, and over 4 billion of them don"t have the technology to even look that number up! That's 60% which is "General" Population, the number is grater than people who do have Internet. Internet? While Internet may be cheaper average here is about $0.96 and the newspaper is about $2.5, Ads on the other hand are very unavoidable whether they are E-version or paper, that's how people make money, not everyone is aware of Ad-blockers and such, and NO website is automatically going to set up an ad blocker especially one in which is a Newspaper website! Developers do not need anymore aid in what they do, they already make more than average, we do not need to make the job easier for them. We can still look for Trumps STUPID speech, or The leafs score, through paper?! Trees Used up? Tress are dying anyway? The main cause of trees dying is not "death from harvest" it's actually "death from its environment". GLOBAL WARMING IS ALL BS. Recycling? Of course EVERYONE!! wants to save the planet. Of course people THINK they are saving the planet, but they are not. Today is cost us about $50 to $60 a ton to simply throw or trash away into landfills. To recycle, it costs THREE TIMES MORE. To send men to your house to pick up your and handle your recyclables costs $150 a ton. Transport/Location? All the newspapers I read; Local ones of course, and they ALL have global columns telling me about things that happen world " Hostage crisis leaves 28 dead in Bangladesh diplomatic zone" "Turkish official: Attackers were from Russia, Central Asia" were in the paper recently? Location is not an issue?Languages? I'm just assuming here but I'm pretty sure, if you were in a 'French' country your newspaper is mmm? FRENCH? mine is English? the ones in INDIA? Hindi? they are made to the language needed Reaction? As far as I'm concerned peoples reaction is different depending on the person, a like and dislike button, alright! because that is going to do so much for this world, what ever happened to discussing the news(paper) with co-workers, neighbors? now we come down to hey lets like and share on Facebook, we are loosing general social skills because of the Internet.
Lets not worship our British soldiers

I would like to first point out the flawed resolutio "lets not worship our British soldiers" implies that we are both British. Explanation is the word our. It means belonging to us; or of us (http://en.wiktionary.org...) Sense, I am not British the soldiers could not possible be mine and thus flawed resolution. Point 2) It is a choice to go to war my opposition says Well as obvisouly that is flawed as well. Reason being it is the countries choice to go to war. The soldier enlists to help defend his country. It is the countries choice whether or not to use him and actually fight and go to war. Point3) Want to be known as a hero and fight for there country but its us equally contradictory I do not understand my oppositions 3rd point at all except that she is saying that people go to war to be heroes and to fight for there country. Patriotism is bad? Point 4) Stop encourageing war and soldiers, maybe govs stop being stupid and opening eyes to bigger picture Please elaborate this point for me so that I may defend it. Also, please explain the big picture, how govs are being stuid. MY ONLY POINT (I may bring up more in round 2) Support the soldier not the war. (can elaborate if need be) Due to time restraints and my lack of planning this is all I have time to post. Thank you for your time.
Lets not worship our British soldiers

l AM pro for the following statement ^ Mainly people will argue that they are against war ,and they are pacifist and what not, Yet they still congratulate our so called * heroes *for going to war. Firstly as a British nation we are taught to encourage our soldiers to fight for our landmarks and the Taliban yet we are allowing these soldiers to go out evoke and kill, thousands of young children and babies?. Many soldiers get hurt and compensated, others unfortunately die , yet why do we have to sympathise with these soldiers when they die and it be branded all over the media? yet they are out in Iraq on the Taliban's landmark killing thousands of innocent civilians! 1. It is a CHOICE to go to war 2.Many hold an explanation for why usually it being racist or immoral 3. Yes some do want to be known as a hero and fight for there country- but its us equally contradictory If we stopped encouraging war and these soldiers , maybe the governments will stop being so stupid and open up there eyes to the bigger picture
Factory farming causes Christianity.

I've noticed a strong correlation between factory farming and Christianity. I can only come to the conclusion that factory farming causes Christianity. As seen here factory farming allows food to be grown cheaper and more conveniently allowing more time to spend promoting the Lord's ways. That means that factory farming causes Christianity. Rather than wasting a lot of time buying organic produce and from local farming, a person can spend more time reading the Bible to himself/herself or a crowd. [0]" If I search and buy local when it is available and preserve it for the winter, it doubles or triples the time I would spend on feeding myself from California and Arizona produce. That means I'd spend essentially all day just preparing food. As a computer programmer, I can earn 500 times the cost of that TV dinner or can of soup in the time it takes me to prepare food from local, fresh ingredients. That doesn't seem like a good investment of the "talent" God entrusted to me." 99% of the animals raised in the USA are factory farmed. [1] The United States is 77% Christian. [2]Worldwide there are over fifty billion chickens. [3] Considering Christianity is the largest religion in the world with over two billion followers, it is safe to conclude that factory farming causes Christianity. [4]Thanks for the debate.

Factory farming causes Christianity.

"My opponent talked about a proverb that states Christians should strive to end animal cruelty. Yet, at the same time there are many examples of animals being mistreated in the Old Testament. Kosher slaughtering of animals being an example. The problem with using religious texts is that the two cancel each other. One passage says its moral, the other says its immoral." 1. Pro has failed to show that Kosher slaughter is in any way cruel or crueler than any other method.2. Pro failed to give examples of contradictiosn in this case.Thus, I urge a vote for con. Factory farming does not cause Christianity.
Factory farming causes Christianity.

Since this is the last round I will make no further arguments. My opponent seems to rely almost exclusively on me not meeting my burden of proof. As for the Bible, there are many contradictions. My opponent talked about a proverb that states Christians should strive to end animal cruelty. Yet, at the same time there are many examples of animals being mistreated in the Old Testament. Kosher slaughtering of animals being an example. The problem with using religious texts is that the two cancel each other. One passage says its moral, the other says its immoral. Thanks for the debate.
