Should media coverage be regulated

My adversary has forfeited every round, so he has failed to uphold his BOP. Because of that, the debate is already over. But I'm going to negate the resolution anyway with an argument that will go unrefuted. The resolution regards the resolution of median coverage. However, the First Amendment requires the freedom of the press. If the government began to regulate media coverage and control what content people ought to see, it would destroy journalism in this country. Of course, politicians would be paid off by some industries to regulate in their favors. At the same time, they would want to censor coverage that isn't favorable for them. For this reason, media coverage should not be regulated. The resolution is negated.
Single Gender schools are better than mixed gender schools.

Again, I would like say that I do not personally believe that single-gender schools are better than mixed-gender schools, but I am arguing this side of the debate because I thought it would be interesting Refutation: "1. Gender Differences are not the same across the board (Meaning, you can't just split the population as boys and girls)" Just because there are single-gender schools does not mean that the population is all of a sudden split by gender. We are debating about whether or not single-gender schools are better than mixed-gender schools, not if it is practical to replace mixed-gender schools with single-gender schools. Also, students have the choice to decide which school they would prefer. The students are not being forced to go to either type of school. For people with non-binary genders (No gender, both gender, others), they can just go to a mixed-gender school. "4.Discuss relationship problems and life problems better." How? My opponent seriously needs to elaborate his points. I suppose CON is referring to health classes and sex education. However, many high schools (mine for example) split the girls and boys into different classes for physical education and health classes. Single-gender schools also provide the same knowledge, just at a higher degree of learning since the methods of teaching relate directly to the students' gender. "5.Helps dating and getting into relationships later on." Con is stating that a school boyfriend or girlfriend would help dating and getting into relationships in the future. So are you saying that my middle-school ex would help me with my marriage in 10 years? Con has failed to explain why dating at an early age will help with relationships in the future. If anything, I believe that early relationships harm dating experiences in the future. Many relationships often end badly at a young age and that bad experience could affect the student's willingness to date in the future. In conclusion, single-gender schools are better than mixed-gender schools. Students are not distracted by opposite members of sex in a single-gender school, allowing the students to focus on more important things like their education. Single-gender schools remove pressure from students by putting them in an environment where male-dominated or female-dominated subjects are non-existent. Single-gender schools have a more effective approach to education since they apply learning methods that correlate with the attributes of the specific gender. Con has failed to prove that mixed-gender schools are better than single-gender schools. Vote Pro! Swag. http://en.wikipedia.org...
Single Gender schools are better than mixed gender schools.

Hello. I will be proving why single-gender schools are better than mixed-gender schools. (Just for your information, I believe that mixed-gender schools are better, but for the sake of this debate, let's pretend that that is not the case). Definitions since Con didn't make any: Single-Gender Schools: (Education) (of schools, etc) admitting members of one sex only; not coeducational Better: Greater in excellence or higher in quality. 1. Students of the opposite sex can be a distraction. Many teenagers in high school will be distracted by members of the opposite sex who they find attractive. Students (mainly teenagers) will prioritize getting a girlfriend or boyfriend instead of focusing on academics, which is more important for their life than a high-school partner. 2. Single-gender education can broaden the perspectives of learning for students. For example, girls who want to study science or math often face the pressure of having to compete with mostly males. Girls who go to all girls schools no longer feel this pressure, since they are only competing with other girls. Same thing goes for guys who want to pursue more feminine subjects, such as poetry or other arts programs. In a all boys school, guys can more easily achieve their dreams of becoming successful in those areas because of less competition. 3. Boys and girls learn differently, therefore, creating two different environments of education for them will enhance their learning experience. I think this one is pretty self-explanatory. Single-gender schools have teaching methods which can be applied more successfully to that specific gender, and therefore, improves the quality of education for both genders. http://www.greatschools.org... http://dictionary.reference.com... http://www.singlesexschools.org...
derron Williams is the most underated player in the NBA.

MY FIRST CONTENTION IS THAT TO WIN THIS ROUND, MY OPPONENT NEEDS TO GIVE STATS OF EVERY PLAYER IN THE NBA. ONLY THEN IS IT POSSIBLE TO DETERMINE WHO IS TRULY UNDERATED. MY SECOND CONTENTION IS THAT THERE IS NO PLAYER NAMED DERRON WILLIAMS IN THE NBA. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO POINT OUT THAT "DERON WILLIAMS" WAS PICKED FOR THE USA OLYMPICS TEAM AND IS IN NO WAY UNDERRATED.
derron Williams is the most underated player in the NBA.

this kid averaged almost 20 points the entire season. he out dueled chris paul in almost every meeting this season. And hes only 23 years old. this was only his 3rd year as a member of the NBA. He also won the "skill s competition" during the all star week. How did he not make it to the All_Star team. All these grreat accomplishments, and he was hardly ever talked abou this year!
derron Williams is the most underated player in the NBA.

"there are things done by players on the hardwood that dont show up on paper such as leadership,and hustle. thus, as my opponent suggests, we cant set up a ratio that shows who the most underrated player is. " My opponent just conceded that there is not a way to show who the most underrated player is. Thus I win this round. "My opponent said,"1. He (deron williams) gained popularity towards the end when he started playing better. This was after the(allstar) game. " that is strictly opinion. " Pretty sure it's not. "my opponent states some false information and information that is strictly opinion. " I laughed out loud at this. Literally. I mean come on seriously. I'm the one posting opinions? VOTERS: There are two arguments that are literally cold-dropped and as I have stated before are sufficient grounds to negate. MY FIRST CONTENTION IS THAT TO WIN THIS ROUND, MY OPPONENT NEEDS TO GIVE STATS OF EVERY PLAYER IN THE NBA. ONLY THEN IS IT POSSIBLE TO DETERMINE WHO IS TRULY UNDERATED. MY SECOND CONTENTION IS THAT THERE IS NO PLAYER NAMED DERRON WILLIAMS IN THE NBA.

"geez dont be so picky. " I am saying what I need to in order to win this round. "firat of all, why would i have to name every player's stats in the NBA? " "ONLY THEN IS IT POSSIBLE TO DETERMINE WHO IS TRULY UNDERATED. " I clearly gave you a reason. "second of all, if deron williams is not underated, why did he not make the 2008 all-star team" 1. He gained popularity towards the end when he started playing better. This was after the game. 2. Just because he may be underrated does not mean he is the most underated. 3. Giving stats from every player will allow to set up a ratio in which we could average playing abitily verse popularity. UNTIL THIS, MY OPPONENT CAN IN NO WAY WIN THIS ROUND. HE MAY PROVEE THAT DERON WILLIAMS IS UNDERRATED BUT NOT THE MOST UNDERRATED. "O. K. then. Name another player who you think is more underated than deron williams. " THIS IS YOUR BURDEN OF PROOF.

child labour should be made legal in under developed countries.

First off the definition of child labour according to merriam-webster.com is, "the employment of a child in a business or industry especially in violation of state or federal statutes prohibiting the employment of children under a specified age." Now that's out of the way you say "Child labour is a major source of income in households that aren't well off" First off children in these households your describing would not be making a 'major' source of that households income. The child's income would most likely be very small due to the jobs children are limited to. Before child labour was outlawed in circa 1938, children were mainly working in factory's for the reason of them being cheaper and more manageable. If they were lucky, they would be making only around half of what their parents were making. The second point I propose is that, even if it was made legal, children would be taken advantage of easily. The supervision of their parents would be non existent, and it would be very possible for them to be overworked. There also would be a large tax influx due to the government having to supervise this. It would lead them to have to create even more jobs to look over these big cooperation's to make sure they follow all of the laws.

We can only use quoted song lyrics to make our case (sentence fragments are ok but complete sentences are better) and must cite the song and artist for each lyric.

This house (USA) believes that fences across the border should exist.

The wall would be demonstrably inefficient at it's intended purpose, for according to Pew Research Center, roughly half of all illegal immigrants came to the United States legally via the usage of Visas and Border Crossing Cards. The problem of the wall as proposed by President Donald J. Trump could easily be circumvented by anyone who really set their mind to it. Of course, as we saw from the former escape of El Chapo, Hispanics can build tunnels, and they already use them for the purpose of drugs, human trafficking and such. Hell, even some have electricity. Nevermind that, there's still the Pacific Coast and the Gulf of Mexico. And the wall has been estimated to cost anywhere from 15 billion to 25 billion (Or about half the price for free college for everyone), not including any of the land. Never mind the fact that there a million fewer Mexicans now in 2017 than compared to 2007 Now one might ask, in spite all of this, will this give native-born Americans (who are descended from immigrants anyway) be more likely to have a job? The short answer is no. Due to guest worker programs and such, 1.6 million entries by legal immigrants and 3.9 million by temporary workers from Mexico have occurred in the last 10 years. Entirely legally. This is primarily for farming jobs that Americans typically won't do. Now let me ask some questions for the opposistion. Why is immigration only now a problem, even though its been going on since the mid-1800s? Second, the US spends the most militarily speaking than any other country? Why do you say can't we defend our own borders, while we defend others like the N Korean and S Korean border. Even upon the construction of the wall it would need to be maintained by personal. You don't eliminate the problem by building it. Third, how will you remove the Hispanics already here, given that there's millions? And how will you do it morally?
This house (USA) believes that fences across the border should exist.

Okay, guys on the (Border Fence Debate- http://www.debate.org...) you had said in the comments section that you are against border fences. I really think this is an interesting topic and if you don't mind I want to debate on this topic. I will be going for the topic. The rules are: 1) There are three rounds. 2) You will get a maximum of 2,000 words. 3) No abuses, stereotypes or any offensive views. 4) You can refer to the internet but will have to give valid facts and insert a link whenever giving one. 5) First round is for defining the terms, and stating the arguments. You can elaborate on a constructive if you want. Second round elaborate on all the the remaining constructive third speech is your rebuts and your last round is for summing up. Good luck! __________________________________ US president Mr Donal Trump says that he will make a 700-mile long wall. The preparations for this is already in full swing. The fact will this help America? The fact is that will this or will this not help America. There all lots of immigrants coming to the USA after the Syria crisis. But Mr Trump is sending them all back. But when we say 'make a border' what do we mean? 'Making a border' refers to isolating a place or a person either for their own good or for the good of the others. My first constructive refers to the refugees who are wanting to come to the USA. But now we have to consider the fact that they might want to get into the country even though they are not allowed to. This would eventually lead to a conflict between USA and Mexico. My second constructive is that there is limited personnel on the battlefront and on the borders. Despite the vastness of the United States, there is only limited personnel to guard and arm the 700+ miles border. All the other of my constructive will be addressed during the next speech.
This house (USA) believes that fences across the border should exist.

Let me please start out with answering and rebutting the arguments written by side opp.: Side opp said that the price of the wall will be something around the $15 billion to $25 billion. But with a country like USA, there are lots of recourses and money. Donald Trump net worth is $ 3.7 billion dollars plus. With 9.25% of the money with the president itself, the country will easily have lots of spare money. So keeping the point of money aside, I would like to continue. You spelt opposition wrong in the fourth paragraph. I agree to the fact mentioned in paragraph #3. The natives should have equal opportunity of a job than any other legal immigrant but in this debate I would like to say that this is not important because we are talking about stopping illegal immigrants from coming into the United States. The US has a fair enough immigration policy to support people. In paragraph #4 you said that how will we remove the Hispanics already there. We don"t need to. I have said that walls should be built not all of the Hispanics/immigrants should be removed. For example, if you are the person who enters right before the guard declares the party full. If the other object will the guard pull you out of the party? No! Coming to the next point you stated in paragraph #2 would fall because of the fact that most of the illegal immigrant come via Mexico which the border is going to cover. Now coming to the immigrants coming by boat or water. USA has a shoreline of 95,471 miles (153,646 kilometres)(measured in 1939- 40). In 2012 it was found that there were 17,985 officers. Also, the USA has 1,429,995 active personnel. All this spread only across 50 states. If the government focuses all its personnel on the border there will be one person every 0.06 miles. But of course, they cant focus all their attention out there we will say that there will be 25% of the army personnel will arm the shoreline there will be approximately a person every 0.26 miles. Thank you!

The maxim, Innocent until proven guilty, has had a good run in the twentieth century. The United Nations incorporated the principle in its Declaration of Human Rights in 1948 under article eleven, section one. The maxim also found a place in the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights in 1953 [as article 6, section 2] and was incorporated into the United Nations International Covenant on Civil and Politic. http://faculty.cua.edu...

I think yes because it is not an invasion of privacy without consent. Noone asks for fb to access their accounts and check their website histories. if people wanted fb to not access their web browser history then people should read the terms and conditions thoroughly before they click the I agree to the terms and conditions box. yes it is in the fine print that most noone ever reads although I read all of them to know exactly what I am getting myself into. so should everyone else!
Gay Marrige

Before I start I want to say that I respect your sexual orentation and I don't hate you, but please respect mine on being a straight Catholic. Thanks I'm surpised that you said its a choice because most of the homosexual commuity says they were born that way. On the other hand its a choice because if it wasn't the Human population will be much lower than what it is now. Gays learn to love there sex when there young as straights were born to love the differnce sex.Because I am a Christian the Bible is my number one source that tells me that it should be legal, and its also sin in Christianity. Making Same-Sex Marriage legal is like making killing or stealing legal, there both sins so why make one sin okay but the others jail time (like they should be). http://www.americanthinker.com...http://www.gotquestions.org...
