In math, 1 divided by 0 is 0

My opponent continues to misunderstand.I am saying that a number divided by zero depends on the interpretation you take.In the realistic interpretation, a number divided by zero would not be zero; You are dividing something by nothing, thus it stays in however many pieces it had in the beginning.However, in the logical, and only logical, interpretation, a number divided by zero would be zero; There are no chunks of 0 in any number.We are taking the logical interpretation in this debate.My opponent seems to think that I believe that his logic is not logical. It is. However, I have pointed out numerous times that the side you choose on this debate depends on the interpretation you take. We are taking the logical interpretation. However, my opponent continues to take the realistic interpretation.I return the floor to my opponent.
In math, 1 divided by 0 is 0

I have but one thing to say. My opponent either ignored my main point or misunderstood it.After I have made my point, he is still talking about life situations, and I am not talking about life situations, only math. And if you are not talking about life situations, math does not have to be realistic, but logical. I will repeat that in division, you are finding how many chunks of a number there are in a number. So, logically, there are no chunks of zero in any number, even infinity.This may also have been his response:"an equation is either true or false, there is no in between, math is absolute"I did not say math is not absolute. I said that there are two interpretations of math; the realistic and the logical math. Both interpretations are logical. However, one is realistic, one is not.In the realistic interpretation, a number divided by zero would not be zero; You are dividing something by nothing, thus it stays in however many pieces it had in the beginning.However, in the logical, and only logical, interpretation, a number divided by zero would be zero; There are no chunks of 0 in any number.We are taking the logical interpretation in this debate.I return the floor to my opponent. Hopefully he will understand in this round.
In math, 1 divided by 0 is 0

to simplify, 1+0=1 is also a false equation, its just 1, or to show it cant be done this is the explanation 1+0(1) 1+0 cant equal anything 3 sodas shared by 0 people, is 3 sodas, as nothing happened, its like saying don't divide these 3 sodas 0 and 1 are defined by nothing and everything, and everything I something you can not divide any number with 0, as you cant divide with 0 an equation is either true or false, there is no in between, math is absolute
In math, 1 divided by 0 is 0

RebuttalsC1) Math can not be explained by an equation, but by life examples"so actually 3 divided by 0 is 3 can not be explained by an equation, as it cant happen, therefore no equal is going on and you have what you tried to divide with 0"Basically, the point here is:6/3You may have numbers, but if they are only numbers, you make nothing out of it; if they are only numbers, not amounts of something, such as soda, you do not make anything out of it but another number in your head.This is true only if you were talking about life situations. However, here, we are only talking math. And if you were not talking about life situations, math does not have to be realistic, only logical. So, taking that in mind, you will have no chunks of zero in ANY number, so any number divided by zero must be zero.C2) No one can show someone zero of something, such as zero bananas"you can never show me 0 bananas"This contension is related to the other; they both assume the debate to be realistic. Again, here, we are only talking math. And if you were not talking about life situations, math does not have to be realistic, only logical. So, again, taking that into mind, you will have no chunks of zero in ANY number, so any number divided by zero must be zero.I return the floor to my opponent. I believe he accepted this debate because of the misconception. I do not think he can refute the logic of math.
In math, 1 divided by 0 is 0

an imaginary man can never drink a real soda 0 can never be divided by 1, and 1 can never be divided by 0 so actually 3 divided by 0 is 3 can not be explained by an equation, as it cant happen, therefore no equal is going on and you have what you tried to divide with 0 0 is false and truth 1 is true you can never show me 0 bananas
In math, 1 divided by 0 is 0

I have recently gotten into debating. It is pretty obvious that any number divided by zero is zero. So, I guess this is in place to boost my self-esteem. Guidelines1) All common guidelines must be followed; No plagiarism, debate must be taken seriously, etc.2) No semantics. If you are unsure about a word, do not accept the debate and make your own definition. Ask.3) Sources must be proven reliable.4) BoP is on both pro and conMy opponent should remember that if he accepts, then later on fails to follow the definition and/or a guideline/guidelines and says that he was not aware of it, I will use his acceptance against him; If he accepts, he must agree with all. C1) The way division works shows that any number divided by zero is zeroHow does division work? What are you doing to the numbers whenever you divide a number by another? You are trying to find how many chunks of whatever there are in something.6/3The first number, which would be 6 in this case, is the number that you will be trying to find chunks of the second number, which would be 3 in this case, of. So, in this case, you are trying to find how many chunks of 3 there are in 6, which there are 2.10/2The first number, which would be 10 in this case, is the number that you will be trying to find chunks of the second number, which would be 2 in this case, of. So, in this case, you are trying to find how many chunks of 2 there are in 10, which there are 5. Now, let us get into the zeros.11/0The first number, which would be 11 in this case, is the number that you will be trying to find chunks of the second number, which would be 0 in this case, of. So, in this case, you are trying to find how many chunks of 0 there are in 11, which there are none. Now, apply that to other numbers.87/0132/08677/0131/0You will notice that it does not matter; Whatever the first number is, there will never be chunks of 0 in a number. I now hand the floor to Pro.
In Christianity, the Use of the Crucifux is Idolatry

I didn't really expect my opponent's arguments to take the turns they have, and I applaud him for that. A really looking back at the debate, me and Crypto agree on a lot. We agree that having graven images isn't idolatry, even when they're in temples or worship ceremonies. We agree on most things, as far as biblical interpretation is concerned. So the real argument is whether God changed his mind concerning using his image to remind yourself of him or to be used in religious ceremony. I'll give some analysis of how we differ there and discuss how arguments should be weighed. "In the previous round, I argued that the reason making graven images of God in the Old Testament could have been considered idolatry was because God had not yet revealed himself to the Jewish people. Because of this, if the Jews were to make a graven image of God they were often influenced by Paganism and depicted their own image of God, not how God was or chose to reveal himself. However, under the new Covenant God revealed himself as Jesus Christ (In addition to other representations), which allowed for the creation of graven images of God since God revealed himself to humanity."My opponent argues that the Jews weren't allowed to depict images of God because it was influenced by Paganism. Now take a look at this.". It is overall irrelevant how the crucifix has been influenced. It is irrelevant what Jesus looked like and whether or not he was actually crucified on a cross."This is all from Con's round 3 arguments. What is it con? Does God consider it idolatry to be depicted as a result of Pagan influences or doesn't he.This is something very important to understand. Con essentially defeats his own argument. He says God being depicted before the time of Jesus Christ was idolatry because of Pagan influences, but when I show modern depictions of Jesus are in fact inspired by images of Pagan God's. Even the cross it's self is a pagan symbol, because Jesus was more likely to have died on a type of stump. My opponent basically says "well it's the thought that counts".However he's wrong. If God thought it idolatry to be depicted, because of Pagan influences before the time of Jesus than he certainly would still find it to be idolatry to depict Osiris on a cross slap the name Jesus on it use it to adorn their body or in religious ceremony. Conclusion- My opponent has basically defeated his own arguments. I thank Crypto for this debate. Vote ProKey points.1. Jews were punished for creating an image meant to represent God.2. The crucifux is a pagan image in Christian clothing. (A wolf in Sheep's clothing)
In Christianity, the Use of the Crucifux is Idolatry

Debate Resolution ClarificationThe use of "In Christianity" in the resolution is not to reflect on Christian teaching, rather it is used to as "assuming Christianity is true. " This being said, scripture from both the New and Old Testament may be used in this debate. All 73 books of the Bible may be used in this debate. Overview and RulesI would like to ask my opponent to post his argument in Round 1, and to state "No round as agreed upon" in the 4th round. Seeing that my opponent is going against the status quo, that is that Christians disagree it is a form of idolatry, my opponent should make the opening argument against that notion. My opponent will have the BOP in this debate to show that the use of the crucifux during prayer is a form of idolatry since he is arguing against the status quo. Standard conduct rules apply. No source points will be rewarded in this debate. This is due to this debate probably being focused on scripture, and I do not want source points to come down to who posted the most scriptural links. DefinitionsCrucifux - a representation of a cross with a figure of Jesus Christ crucified to it. Prayer - To speak to God, especially in the form of giving thanks, praise, pardon, help or intercession. Worship - To deeply revere and give praise to Idol - Debaters will use the Bible in order to determine what an Idol is and whether or not it applies to the Crucifux. Idolatry - Debaters will use the Bible in order to determine what Idolatry is and whether or not it applies to the Crucifux.
There is no better alternative for society than debt free currency

Thank you for your answer. However, I must say that I find very little in form of substantial arguments in that answer. You seem to be saying a couple of things. 1. That inflation exists even without debt free currency. This is true. But replacing the current currency with debt free currency will, as described, create much more inflation and depending on what interpretation of debt free currency you have even hyperinflation and economic collapse. You have not tried to counter my arguments to that effect. I can only conclude that you agree, and in fact you even mention that the civil war greenback did lose a lot of value, in other words, it had a lot of inflation. 2. That debt free currency worked better during the civil war then the currency system used then. This is likely completely correct. As you yourself mention, at this point the US did not have one single currency, but many different banks made their own dollar notes. But the argument is not that debt free currency is better than the system used before the civil war, the discussion is if it's the bets *possible* system. And it clearly is not, as the current system we use now, of fiat money, is superior to debt free currency. 3. That pressuring Japan to increase their currency against the dollar had negative effects on Japanese economy. I think most liberal economists would agree with that statement. Although being an economist, I surely do. But I fail to see how it is even relevant to the discussion. 4. Under the current system, the state can not spend freely. This is also correct. Under the current system, the state can indeed not spend freely. However, the state can not spend freely under a debt free system either. You think that just because there is no debt, the state can simply print money to pay for whatever the state wants to pay for. But look at one of your first sentences. You say "The over supply of printed currency ... contribute to inflation". Indeed it does. And that's what you are suggesting here. You are suggesting that the government, when it wants to pay for something, simply prints money to pay for it. Since the money is debt free, this does not increase the debt of the state. What it does, though, is increase the supply of printed currency, and hence inflation. The policy you are talking about here is nothing new. It is exactly that policy that each time it has been tried (and it has been tried many times9 leads to hyperinflation and economic collapse. Lastly in Zimbabwe, where they in April this year suspended printing of the Zimbabwean dollar, as it had lost all value. The result of debt free currency in Zimbabwe was the collapse of the economy, and the disappearance of the Zimbabwean dollar. No good came out if it. So you can can't have the state spending freely under a debt free currency either. There is no such thing, as a free lunch, and there can not be such a thing as a debt free currency.
There is no better alternative for society than debt free currency

For the sake of this debate, the issue here is that debt free currency, created by fiat, produces no national debt, allowing a society maximum flexibility in organizing its resources for the benefit of the majority. There are two, basic monetary systems which nations might adopt. The first, is a system where money - legal tender is created by a public authority, and allocated for the public good without an interest charge. [debt free currency] The second, a private entity obtains the authority from a public entity to create money - legal tender and charges interest on the use of that legal tender. [debt obligation] That is, when currency is issued by a private central bank on behalf of the public authority, principle and interest charges must be reduced by payments obtained from either additional borrowing and/or taxes. Issuance of fiat money, through a private entity, therefore, creates an economic and financial cost to society manifested by the accumulation of debt and debt service (the ravages of compound interest) as well as opportunity costs inherent in having to make less than optimal choices for the allocation of scarce resources. Choices that amount to providing more or less transportation, public infrastructure, education, and defense, etc. Competing priorities dependent upon the level of debt a society can absorb, are seldom, fully funded. In a debt free currency world all public sector programs could be funded without concern for debt ceilings. Constraints would be primarily those related to effectiveness, and capacity to fund recurrent costs for the maintenance of public sector services and infrastructure. In the U.S., a debt free currency system would function to relieve the nation of its current decent into the abyss of debt by monetizing all public debt and then liquidating all debt instruments, never to issue them again, thereby, eliminating the threat of inflation since the supply of money would then be unchanged. Conventional monetary policy and systems do not liquidate debt instruments once redeemed. Historically, this nation experienced real growth under the mantle of debt free currency when Abraham Lincoln used Greenbacks to finance and win the Civil War. It is the accumulation of debt that constrains society in the efficient allocation of resources.
Abortion in the embryonic period should be legal

! Round 1 is for acceptance only, no arguments to be presented in round 1. !! !!! Fourth round for rebuttal and closing statements, no new arguments. !!! Definitions/Explanations Abortion - is the end (termination) of a pregnancy. A low-risk surgical procedure called suction aspiration or suction curette is generally used for first trimester abortions. Medical (non-surgical) abortions using medications such as mifepristone (RU486) are available in some clinics. The embryonic period in humans begins at fertilization (penetration of the egg by the sperm) and continues until the end of the 10th week of gestation (8th week by embryonic age).

Story Battle!

Til Death Do Us PartDon't cry, they're all watching you. They know what happened. That know you were fired. What am I going to do now? We're barely getting by with my lousy salary and now that's gone. I can't ask Will to work yet, he isn't ready. He only got out of that place three weeks ago. I fear he's still...unstable. He's made so much progress, I can't risk it now. I'll just have to pretend to have my job until I get another one...That evening:"What's for dinner honey?" Oh he smile is so lovely. It makes me so happy that he's smiling again. "Nothing special. I hope you don't mind." "Of course not. I should make dinner more if I want something extravagant." I can't believe I was fired. What are we going to do? How am I going to support him? Don't think about it now. You are already starting to tear up. "Honey, are you alright?" Damn. He noticed. "Yeah everything's fine." Go away stupid tears! "You don't look fine." "No really, I'm fine!" "Honey, you can talk to me. I know you think I'm weak but really I can be who you need me to be." I can't hold it in after that. "I'm so sorry baby, I was fired." "What?" "My boss. He let me go. He came onto me and I rejected him so he fired me. I'm so sorry! I don't know what we'll do!" I hope I did the right thing by telling him. "Did he tell anyone?" "I don't think so. He told me I had the rest of the week and then I could leave discreetly without anyone knowing." "Then don't worry about a thing." His arms are so comforting around me. "I'm gonna make this right. Everything's going to be alright ok?" His voice is so reassuring, I almost believe him. Next morning at work:What's everyone freaking out about? I've never seen such a commotion. "What's going on? What's the big deal?" "You haven't heard? Mr. Reynolds is dead! He was murdered that night in his bed." Dead. Murdered. Out of nowhere... "Did he tell anyone?" "Then don't worry about a thing."That evening:I have to ask him. I'm sure I'm just being paranoid but I need to know for sure. I don't think he'll lie. He never did before. He looks so normal sitting there on the couch. "Baby, can you turn off the tv? I just wanna talk about something." "Sure honey what's up?" "Well, today they found Mr. Reynolds dead in his bed. You didn't have anything to do with that right?" "Oh I didn't think you' have a problem with it. I killed him. Now you can keep your job since no one else knew you were fired. Maybe you will even get promoted now that you'll have a new boss." I can't believe he's so calm. He's even smiling. "Yeah of course not baby, that's so sweet of you." Six months in that hell and he's worse than before. Late that night:This is the best way. At least he'll keep his dignity. "Hey honey" "Uhhh what? Honey it's late. What do you want?" "I just want you to know that I love you." "I love you too." Just squeeze the trigger. Oh! It's ok to cry now. It's over. Ok open the window and unlock the door. Dial 911. "Someone broke into my house and murdered my husband!"
Story Battle!

A cruel death I had always been the nice girl in the family. I had always gotten better grades than my depressed sister. But until my head got chopped off, I I had been changed. Ever since that discusting night, id always been up in the clouds staring at my killer. wondering what life had been if I had avoided that night. It all started with the morning ruteign. As always, I would get dressed to my normal clothes. Go through my normal school day. Eat my nromal dinner. Then, it started. Id been upstairs locked in my room to study for the midterms that would confuse me most. Id heard a tapping on the door with my mother calling from the other side. "Fiona honey, would you like something before you start your studies?" My mother had replied softly as she always does while I am trying to do homework or study. "No mom, im fine." I responded and waited for her to reply, "Alright, we will be going to bed now so dont stay up late." With that last sentance, the doors all closed and the lights turned off. I was left to finish my studys with nothing to see in but the light by the table. I had always been jittery and would always turn whenever noise was made so I would turn very frequently because of the branches tapping the window. While I was doing my studies I felt very thirsty. As always I went downstairs and got my self a cup of water. Thats when it all started.While walking myself uptairs thinking of the tune for "Hey Soul Sister" Id heard a rustleing within my bedroom. I slowly crept up to it and took as small a peak as I could. But when I peaked in, nothing appeared to be damaged or harmed. After all of that hallucinations I decided it was time to rest. As I was putting my books and homework in my bag I felt something was wrong. That someone did enter in my room. I slowly turned around and what I saw was a half shirtless man. But the wierd part was he had his shirt on. Id studdered as all I could keep in my view was the place his pants should have been. The man stepped closer to me. I felt like screaming for help but all I could do was wait. The closer he walked to me the more his gaze crept closer to the lower half of my body. Once has was within only a foot from me he grabbed me. Threw me on the couch and ripped off all the clothes that I had on. Next thing I knew, He was inside of me. The more he pushed through the more I felt that I was about to throw up. After a few minutes going through my mom had heard the noise and was walking down the long corrider to my room yelling "Fiona, You there?" A few seconds later my raper grabbed a knife from somewhere under the bed and he realized he had to do something fast. He drew the knife next to my neck and said. "Tell me you love me." I did. Then my head was off.
