The Cost Benefit (CB) of using a microwave exceeds the CB of using a oven in relation to hot pockets

I'm Sean, and I disagree with my good friend John. We were discussing hot pockets, and he suggested I cook it for 45 minutes in the oven when I could cook it for about 3 in the microwave. Our arguments will begin after the first round. In order to prevent some superfluous crap, one rule is that we will be allowed to question each other off debate (on the sidelines) about some specific issues, especially related to cost/benefit (EG: Satisfaction one receives from hot pocket from 1-10) so long as it's not contested and proper credit is granted.
I am the only individual in existence with free will.

I'm not interested in points. So please continue this discussion in comments. So far I agree that everything you say is true from your perspective. But it is also true from my perspective. But subjective truths can't both be true.....well that is the common misconception. The fact is we are both looking at different realities. Real is defined by our perceptions. To perceive the same reality we would need to occupy the same spot and grasp the same concepts. Every sense needs to be perfectly alligned so we see, smell,feel, tase and hear exactly the same. To be honest, I believe the reality my left eye sees is a different reality from the one my right eye sees. And my brain combines the two creating I third. I could also close both eyes to create a 4th reality. Therefore billions of realities exist and although similar in appearance its possible for something to be true in your reality and false in mine. Take an orange. We both look at it and agree the orange is real. But we are not looking at the same orange. Your angle of view differs from mine. And what is seeing? There is no light shining from the orange? Its light being reflected off the skin. The actual colour of a orange is (absorbing all coloures except orange) which we can't percieve. So is there a bigger picture? A being who sees all realities? I dnt know. But if there was it would be pointless to create us and predestine our actions. The outcome would be predictable. Unless an element of randomnes is added. Nothing too big as it may destroy the entire realities. I would love that to be me. And everything that happens around me has a purpose. For me to learn. But by writing this down for you to read I am teaching, not learning. So sadly I must admit I am not the one with free will. There is however a problem. You also taught me quite a bit. Therefore you are not the one with free will. There is only one person with free will. The person reading this debate. This person has learnt from both of us.
I am the only individual in existence with free will.

Thanks for defining free will.I am the only individual in existance with free will....If free will doesn't exist this statement is false.Choice is but a hypothetical creation of the mind showing a variety of potential expected outcomes. It gives us the illusion of free will but does not exist. At the moment of action there is only one possible option. As my opponent does not wish to persue that aspect of the dabate I will not attempt further proof. Yes, truth is subjective to each person and although it may seem to contradict at times, as in it being day/night/both depending on your perspective, the fact remains that from your perspective only one is true. If you are on the dark side of the planet it is night (on that side of the planet) Not the whole planet. As an individual you can only see one perspectivePro claims that if he is ever put in a position showing his own calculability it would bare a paradox. This is where the claim fails. He could never be put in that position because only at the moment of action is a action set. Before the action it is merely hypothetical and after the action it can't be changed. You can't know what you going to do till that moment arrives. But that doesn't mean you have choice when that moment arrives. Its predestined.
I am the only individual in existence with free will.

Thanks for accepting. Now pls state your understanding of free will as I will be proving free will is an illusion. At any given moment our choices are predetermined by factors beyond our control. Although future events may alter our choices we can at no single moment have two choices. All choices are based on 6 vectors. Good and evil, like and dislike and benefit or detriment. Each vector has a + factor a - factor or a 0 factor. Eg yellow. Which has a 0 rating on the good or evil vector. Our decisions are based on the strongest single or combined factors. When a choice is good, liked and beneficial, its easy. But when the decision is either like or beneficial it requires calculation. You may for instance like chocolate, but you know its unhealthy. So here are your choices. Eat the chocolate or don't. The deciding factor is which has a higher value. Your health, or the joy of eating the chocolate. Well that value is set at any given moment. Therefore your choice is set, at any given moment. As we can't go back and alter past decisions or know what might influence our future decisions, the only moment that matters is now. And right now you have no choice. Your turn.
This House Believes that Mining cause more harm than good

I feel ashamed to say that I am partly glad this is coming to an end. In any case I believe that before I give my final case there are some things I should remind the voters of once more. The first is that the burden of proof was on Proposition to show that mining is essentially more harmful that it is beneficial. This means that it was necessary that he provide fundamental comparative analysis, and this he did not do. He should have also addressed my concerns more directly, and this once more he did not do. I have plentiful analysis, none of which he answered with statistics or evidence. I should win this debate because my opponent never engaged me, and his arguments were besides the point because he never connected it to the resolution. A resolution which is 'comparative'. Now let me first start by addressing the counter refutations. In the case of deaths decreasing I do not see any argument, just that it causes wildlife to die. My analysis above was clear that while there is a potential for people to die, there would be many more deaths if we do not have metals for surgical instruments, or for cooking or et cetera. My other points were never mentioned about how it increases job opportunity, and how it is necessary for the survival of many countries like Greenland, and Chile. I extend all these contentions, for they were never counter analysed. Now my opponent brings up one major new point. How it is bad for the marine life, for this he provides an excellent source from a well respected journal. I only wonder if he, himself, read that source, as I have, for if he had, he would know that on the sixteenth (16) pagination a system is clearly outlined where processes can be done to ensure that marine life is not damaged. Also this does not happen in all cases, marine life is only harmed in some cases. This harm can be minimized to the point where it is null. My opponent then does not have a problem with mining, he has a problem with careless mining. The fact is, even if a certain percentage of marine life dies, if we stop mining, as I have shown above, millions of humans will die ever year. There will no longer be advanced medicine, no surgical procedures, no cars, no travel, no electricity. When we consider this as a comparative resolution, my opponent can just not win. With that I believe, that the motion collapses. Pace stackerz21, Faithfully Yours, Ajab.
This House Believes that Mining cause more harm than good

Mining is the source of sinkholes and landslides. Because it removes the support of the ground if there is landslides, the miners will be affected even the "people" nearby will be affected. I have an example This iron and coal mine started under dual Chinese and Japanese control in 1905, but the mine was in territory invaded by the Japanese and became a mine using Japanese forced labor. On April 26, 1942, a coal-dust explosion -- a prevalent hazard in underground mines -- killed a full third of the workers on duty at the time: 1,549 dead. A frenzied effort to cut off the ventilation and seal the mine to kill the fire reportedly left many unevacuated workers who initially survived the blast to suffocate to death. It took 10 days to remove the bodies -- 31 Japanese, the rest Chinese -- and they were buried in a mass grave. Tragedy struck China again when 682 died on May 9, 1960, in the Laobaidong colliery coal dust explosion. We should make a move to prevent these. Because its harmful to people. Even the animals

But he didn't have a napkin; so then I went to home depot to but an Xbox 360... home depot doesn't sell Xbox 360's so I settled with plywood. Anyway the moral is my opponent is a big doo doo head. I have proof to, but since it is teh interwebz I can't show you. But I have it!! Also, also, yeah you should totes vote meh up cuz I have a bag of reeses eggs! and- everyone know reeses are awesome.

I find your accusation of my jellinosity most offensive. You, mam, are and idiot. Never before have I seen such insolence. Well actuall thats a lie. Back in Toxteth when I was commiting crime left right and centre (especially from the left, they didn't even realise it was theft!) I once saw a small half elf eating a bannana. A very polite chap too. He had manners. The point I'm trying to make is that you have to work for what you don't get in life as well as what you do. This may seem slightly irrelevent to you, but actually it proves just how incredible my song is. I have quite an elegant proof for this but I don't have enough space to post it here. In addition to this you are a nincompoop. Not just any kind of nincompoop, but the yellow bellied, foul breathed, balding, mentally deficient, partially ginger, related to an ogre, unhygenic, reptile consuming, vicious eyed, runny nosed, goblin eared, yobbish, lazy, slow, hideously ugly and morbidly obese nincompoop. This means your song is rather poor. As Oscar Wilde once said; "Do not want!" I ask my readers, is this really the sort of man you want to vote for. They would answer a resounding no [ source - again my bullemic mind controlling powers] To round off this round, I would pose a question to you; if you were asked whether you concede this debate, would your answer be the same as your answer to this question, assuming you can only answer yes or no to either question?

Rules 2 and 4 hast been most verily rejected by the scoundralizor Sir Orange. Verily, I doest hope I shallest slayest him such a mannere that he statest that he is mine bitch. Forsooth, I shall verily be ignoring ye olde other videos, as forsooth you are arguing that ye olde fridaye is the most grand video in all the land. It would also be most pertinent to observe that thou hast broken my firste rulee of the debatee. Thou hast been most uncoolacious. Hi ho and onward t'ward victory and arguments. 1.Popularity Verily, the firstest thought that passed into your head, and the heads of your audience [source I'm bulemic, which means I can read minds] as soon as though sawest my video was "I aint never heard of that video". But that is a double negative, which means you have. Ergo my video be-ith verily the moste popularicalacious video in all of the kingdom. 2. Jeans be pimpitudinal Forsooth, we may never verily get to lay eyes upon such heavenly OMG jeans that are so eloquently describede in ye olde video. But I have it from the highest authority (the epic rapper at the ende of ye video) that those jeans be most indubitubly divine. 4. My opponent is an orange Oranges knoweth not what constitutes true lyrical genius, therefore all thou's arguments paste and futureth are invalide. 5. Lots people where jeans, therefore lots of people like music about jeans 6.Argument from pizza Pizza exists My olde video exists Lots of people like pizza Therefore people who like pizza like-est mine video 7. Absence of alien invasion If my video was world destroyingly bad aliens would come and intervene Aliens haven't come to intervene Ergo, my video is amazing (just like my horse!) 8. Better than eternal happiness when locked in a room Nothing is better than eternal happiness Watching my video whilst in a locked room is better than nothing Therefore and verily so, "my jeans" is better than eternal happiness. Rebuttals 1. My opponent calls me Jelly, most verily this evidently false. I am Enrique Inglesias and it is well known that I am not Jellye. Naye! But verily I am your Hero, I know what it feels like loving someone who is in a rush to throw you away, I know what it feels like to know the lock on the door has changed. 2. My opponent mentions a certain group who states his opinion is correct. However, in doing so he hast most verily broken the rules, and furthermoreeth his argument musteth be invalide. 3. My opponent links a picture of my good friend badger. He informest my good self that he was most verily misquoted on the caption. Incidently; it has been known for toasters to lie. I wouldn't reccomend them as a source. Thou mayest concede if thou wishest

western museums should agree to requests to repatriate cultural artefacts

I read well about Fluer's argument. I think even if a country studied a lot about eastern country, it is not better than its own country. For example, in my country, Korea, learn more about Korean history than world history. We just learn little bit about each countries and large amount about our history. We learn about our history in elementary school so knowledge is deeper than any other country. Also, if a country has a lot of artefacts from many other countries, it is hard to know each country's history. Every country has its own unique culture, and it is our assignment to learn more about our history with our artefacts and tell it to all over the world. I want to emphasize that world is one. I know that western country is not weak, then, diplomacy will be worse. Western country may think it is better to eastern country to not give assets back, but the fact is that we do not think so. Our country sends diplomats to western country steady to get our cultural artefacts, and if we fail, citizens are full of anger. In tourism point, if diplomacy be worse, there will be just little people to go western country and consume our money. It is time to decide whether or not returning artefacts to own country is good or bad. To say again, we should get our assets because of education, peace and tourism. Thank you for reading my argument and I encourage you to vote pro. Have a nice day. To voters. . Sorry but I didn't learned a lot about grammar in Korea. There will be a lot of grammar mistakes. .
western museums should agree to requests to repatriate cultural artefacts

We tend to collaborate with experts (sometimes indigenous to the culture of the artefact) because we want to display the most accurate information. This point also falls due to the fact that these artefacts are historical, usually from over a century ago, and cultures evolve. So you cannot simply say that the native country will understand the artefact better than any other country because the culture is likely to have changed a considerable amount. Therefore they can probably do no better than anyone from a western culture. It is this collaboration and joint efforts between countries that is beneficial because it shows everyone is willing to move on from our past differences. On your international relations point, earning money is just a by-product that allows us to keep our museums open so that we can display eastern and western cultures standing together which displays peace far better giving artefacts away because there would be a chance for more information about the artefact that we no longer have to display. No country is going to start a world war over an artefact and the west done a fine job of bombarding Libya so we are not that weak. On your tourism point, most tourists go to a country to see it's modern day artefacts and culture but even if they did go too to the museum they would still find many western artefacts to enjoy. As I have said before Western countries are home to many cultures now and we should embrace them all. Cultures evolve and ours is changing rapidly giving rise to stigma and other crimes giving us more of an incentive to support other cultures and I see no reason why we will loose our own historical cultures. This is about cultures standing together not getting torn apart. Because cultural understanding is important in our changing society, because history cannot be portrayed from one side, because our museums are so important we should allow both cultures to be displayed together this motion should fall. Thank you.
western museums should agree to requests to repatriate cultural artefacts

I thank Fluer for this debate. Rebuttals: I think western museums should agree to requests to repatriate cultural artefacts First of all, we have more cultural values when we have ours than others. Even if western museums show that they are proud of the diversities within their countries, our love for our cultural assets is different. Also, in educational point, I want to ask Fluer that what is more effective. 1. Western country have our cultural artefacts and teaches citizen about it by themselves. 2. Eastern country get back their own assets and study deeply and teach to western countries. I think second one is more effective than first one. Western countries cannot know perfectly about our culture. We should learn our culture more with our cultural artefact's and tell it to other country. If we do so, western people can know direct information about eastern country. It is good for both side. Secondly, I think disagree to requests to repatriate cultural artefacts is harmful to national relationship. We think exhibit our assets in museum is purpose of earning money. We learned in elementary school that it is our assignment to get our cultural artefacts back. In future, if western countries still do not approve the request, there maybe war to get those artefacts. Nowadays, our military power is weaker than western countries. However, if eastern countries unite with anger, there will be end of peace, and start of World War III Finally, I want to talk about tourism. We go to western countries to learn western countries' unique culture, not our culture. If western countries exhibit eastern countries' cultural assets, it decrease eastern countries' tourists. Also, if western museums exhibits eastern countries' cultural artefacts and teach citizen about it, western country will lost their wonderful culture. In brief, I think western countries should accept the requests to get our cultural assets back.
