Walt Disney has been preserved via Cryonic Preservation (and will be thawed in the near future)

Thank you con, I will now proceed with my rebuttals.1. The plausibility of cryonic preservation.Now, first and foremost, my opponent has presented the reasons why we cannot unfreeze and revivify those cryonically preserved today with our current medical technology. Although this (partially*) true, this does not prove that we will not be capable of revivifying cryonically preserved cadavers in the near future, as I had defined in my fourth argument in Round 2 to be around "thirty, fifty, maybe seventy years, and possibly one hundred at most [from today]" Even Michio Kaku, the scientist speaking in my opponents' linked video, admits that revivifying frozen cadavers in cryonic preservation, in the future, may not be impossible.*I say partially because scientists had in fact repeatedly - and successfully - revivified frozen hamsters in cryobiological experiments taken place during the 1950's up to the mid 1960's.[2]The point that is that not now, but in the near future, this technology will be possible. I'll tell you what we can do today though with modern medicine; spray-on skin to regrow severely damaged skin in as much as or less than a week.[1] In light of the topic of this debate, recall that skin is the largest organ of the body.2. Walt's GraveAs for my opponent's suggestion of Walt's grave, I point back to what I had said in Round 2, that "many people choose to only have their heads cryopreserved rather than their entire body - this way they can cut the massive costs being cryopreserved in the first place." I assert that Walt would have had his head frozen - not his entire body - and that in this way, Walt would still be capable of being cryonically preserved. Of course something would need to be done with the body, which of course would be cremated in respect to Walt. As for the death certificate, I am not sure of its legitimacy because my first inclination is to believe that it was taken off of the internet (what are the chances that my opponent would be in posession of Walt Disney's original, personal, genuine death certificate?), a place where any image macro can easily be forged. Second, the text is illegible in the box containing the word "cremation", so it is impossible to discern what is completely meant by the word. Even if Walt's body was cremated however, this would not refute my argument that Walt's head has been kept in cryonic preservation since the December of 1966.3. Walt's DaughterWhether or not Walt's daughter is not aware of Walt's interest with cryonic preservation does not refute the resolution, and is hardly a reliable argument at best. Pick any family in the world and I will show you someone who does things his/her family is not aware of. At the end of the day, it's the word of Walt's daughter versus the word of two highly esteemed biographers.Now back to con; I await your rebuttals.[1] - [2] - http://www.damninteresting.com...
Walt Disney has been preserved via Cryonic Preservation (and will be thawed in the near future)

Why reanimation is unlikely:When your body is frozen the first thing that happens is every cell in your body expands and starts exploding. Imagine a bunch of tiny explosions going on at a microscopic level. There is no known process for reversing these cell explosions.http://bigthink.com...The brain as it freezes will start to have cracks form.These cracks are referred to as fractures. Every cell in brain is being exploded open (which is only observable on a microscopic level, but what can be plainly seen is cracks forming in the brains. Every cell in the brain explodes and the brain cracks. This isn't something you wake up from, not in this century or the next.http://www.alcor.org...A lot of the information I'm giving you is straight from the Alcor website and they are the most state of the art way to put somebody in suspended animation. If this is the type of damage being done with the preservation techniques now, you can imagine that 50 years ago, it was even worse.Disney's graveAccording to a website dedicated to documenting where people's graves are, Walt Disney's ashes are kept at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale California. Anybody living close to that area can drive up and see the grave themselves.According to Walt's daughter Dianne;"There is absolutely no truth to the rumor that my father, Walt Disney, wished to be frozen. I doubt that my father had ever heard of cryonics." http://www.snopes.com...Here is a death certificate for Disney that says he was cremated; Anyway, good luck to my opponent in the next round and 't wait until round 4 when rebuttals can begin.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------If you finish a minimum of 5 debates, you can debate this - then I'll have better faith that you're experienced and won't bail the whole debate on round 2 >_>-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------This is 100% legit!

Round is for negative cross examinations.4th. Round is for rebuttals.5th. Round is for closing arguments.The only rules for this debate for me and my opponent will be to:- Follow given debate structure- Stand pro/con's ground to the very end.- No trolling or intentionally meaningless arguments (i.e. Walt Disney is cryonically frozen because I have pizza; Walt Disney is not frozen because I went to new york). Speculative/philosophical arguments are allowed however.Good luck and, may the winner have a... *puts on sunglasses*...great big beautiful tomorrow.
Walt Disney has been preserved via Cryonic Preservation (and will be thawed in the near future)

Okay, despite the fact that I disappeared for most of the debate, I still win this. My opponent has to prove that not only is Disney frozen but he will be thawed in the near future. He admits that we currently don't have the technology to do the thawing right now, and he has shown no evidence that we will have the technology in the near future. I've shown Disney's grave site, death certificate and statements from close family to disprove the theory that he was preserved cryonically.
Walt Disney has been preserved via Cryonic Preservation (and will be thawed in the near future)

We are now into Round 4; originally this round was to be used in order to make rebuttals against the negative cross examinations in Round 3, however, Wylted has not made any negative cross examinations of my arguments from Round 2, therefore there is nothing for me to rebut.Wylted still has a chance to negative cross examine my arguments from Round 2 in this round, but he/she will also need to respond to my negative cross examinations of his/her arguments from Round 2 as well. There is nothing left for me to argue except that the resolution still stands.
Raped females are responsible for rape.

Then you are indeed thinking very wrong. There is no "victim" in rape; there are only the giver and the recipient. You cannot make any decent counterargument simply because you lack rational, logical insight into the subject. Your idea about rape is anything resuling from careful, thoughtful reasoning; instead, you are just brainwashed to think about rape in one particular way. You cannot even present an argument as to why rape is bad or wrong without exactly repeating the words of others. Furthermore, your lack of independent thinking shows that you are hardly a human being. Even though you are formally one,nyou are not a substantive,mproper human being. Now, vefore you sany anything, you are required to be a genuine human being, not the fake one you are now.
A night without sleep is good for you.

As my opponent has not posted any arguments in the last round, I cannot rebut.Another benefit of sleeping is having a healthy weight. Sleep and metabolism are controlled by the same part of the brain, so that is why sleep deprivation can affect your weight. Dieters who slept well lost fat, while dieters who didn't sleep well lost muscle."When you are sleepy, certain hormones go up in your blood, and those same hormones drive appetite." - Dr. Rapoport Thank you
A night without sleep is good for you.

Stage 2-4 is 'relaxing and recharging energy', Deep sleep is just more relaxed. So, I will change the definition of sleep to stage 2-4 sleep and REM sleep. Onto my argument. Did you know that sleeping improves grades? People who have sleep disorders (10-16 yr old) are more likely to have problems with attention and learning. College students who sacrificed sleep scored worse than those that didn't. ". .. significant functional impairment. .. " . http://www.health.com...
Evolution is better than Creation

Creationism has been shown to be plausible, albeit with a non-literal interpretation of the bible. A popular theory among creationists is the idea that "Time has no relativity to god", meaning that a single day could be many many years. "Isaiah says that God "inhabits eternity" (Isaiah 57:15), so time to God takes on different dimensions. He can function outside of time if He so desires. These verses, however, give us a rough guide that a thousand years equal one day in God's prophetic revelation to man." - Richard T. Ritenbaugh (http://www.bibletools.org...) Using this could explain the discrepancy in the fact that the earth is thousands of years old and the bible gives a relatively weak explanation for this.
Evolution is better than Creation

I really am not a creationist. I personally think creationism is a stupid stupid stupid topic. Yet I do enjoy a good fight. I hope you'll give me one. I urge the commenter again, to vote fairly about who you thought one the debate, and not on what you agree with. This is a battle, and just because you agree with someone doesn't mean they didn't lose the battle. I look forward to the debate, and presume you are taking the Burden of Evidence.
Public school students should wear uniforms

I"d like to go back on a point you made in your first argument. You said that a lot of kids might not have the financial means to dress the way they want to. You said that using uniforms eliminates the division between the poor kids in the richer kids. And I do agree you have a point there, but I don"t think you should punish kids are more financially Well off. The way you dress is one of the keyways you can express yourself. I would argue it is our easiest way to express yourself. And even if you don"t have the financial means to dress the way you want, you still have multiple ways to dress up an outfit and make it your own. There are also multiple thrift stores and other organizations that will provide clothes At little or no cost. And again on the point you made in your last argument, childhood the teenage years, those are all supposed to be about having fun and expressing yourself. We will all be adults soon enough. "Older men declare war. But it is youth that must fight" Hoover
Public school students should wear uniforms

Yes, I agree with your previous statement. When we become older, we all have to wear uniforms. Life is like that. But wouldn't it be better if the habit is ingrained into their mind from an early age? If we are shown how to wear a uniform, then we become better at wearing it, and you know that to get something correct, it takes time. Well, the time to start practicing is when we start school. That way, we become responsible adults who wear uniform tidier than the ones who don't. "A wise person does at once, what a fool does at last. Both do the same thing; only at different times." - Baltasar Gracian
Public school students should wear uniforms

When we go to get real Job, chances are that we will all have to wear uniforms. No matter if you"re a nurse, teacher, or McDonald"s worker, chances are that you will have to wear some type of uniform. It would stand to reason that, because we are forced to wear uniforms when we grow up, we would be given the freedom to dress how we like. Because youth is associated with being the time in your life when you can enjoy not having to worry about anything, it would make sense that parents and the teachers would realize that students need freedom to enjoy their youth dressing how they wish.
Public school students should wear uniforms

My first argument is this: My school is a title school. This means that a lot of the kids that go to school come from lower income families. Because students have the right to a free education, if the school wanted the kids to wear uniforms then they must pay for it. Now lets look at a school system like mine with about 10,000 students. According to learningin21 "Uniform tops cost $26.99, uniforms bottoms cost $34.99 or $44.99, pullovers cost $39.99 and vest cost $35.99." Now each child will need about 3 outfits. This will cost a public school system greatly. Like I said, because you cannot deny children access to public education, the school system must pay for students who cannot afford these uniforms. Please keep in mind that I am only talking about public schools here. Private schools wearing uniforms is a totally different issue. :)
Public school students should wear uniforms

Hi there BayBayShri. I am happy to take up your challenge and argue for having uniforms in public schools. The first point I want to make is that school uniforms promote equity throughout the school itself. If you are poor, and you have to wear your normal clothes, then people can ridicule you because of it. if you are rich, and you wear your normal clothes, people will try to be like you and then they struggle. They become lost because there is someone who is so much better than them. When there is a school uniform, everyone will look the same, so that no one is discriminated because of what they wear. That's why most schools (including mine) have uniform: it promotes equity. I look forward to your next point arguing against this topic. MasterPhoenix
Hiroshima and nagasaki bombing

However, I'd like to point out that that angle of argument is wholly irrelevant to the resolution: " It was a reasonable decision to drop the atomic bombs on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki at that time in world history."The decision to drop the bomb was made by the American president Harry Truman, and what was happening in the Japanese government had only a bearing on that decision only in so far as the limited intelligence on what happened in the Japanese government and military strategists, that reached the president. I submit that that the vast bulk of Japanese military planning and internal interactions were not known to the president, and were of secondary consideration to the decision to drop the bomb. The primary consideration was, 'would it effectively end the war', and 'would it end the Americans dying in the war against Japan'.I come back to this later.I'd also like to call into question the source that my opponent used to base his argument. Doug Long who apparently wrote a non published short summary of events, is an obscure Associate Professor at an unremarkable college. Citing him as a reference is pretty weak as a source, and from looking at his assessment of the war, and the dropping of the bomb, it is understandable why he is an Associate Professor.Are you attacking him or his sources? This is irrelevant.Furthermore, I would assert that the objective of war is to win with the least number of casualties, damage and resources on your side.http://dictionary.reference.com...http://edgar.chswebs.com...I also know in the Civil War the Union loss more life then the CSA.My opponent asserts that there was ample opportunity for a peaceful resolution, and that is not the case. The Japanese were given an opportunity after Potsdam to surrender unconditionally, and in particular, have the Emperor removed from his throne, as this was seen as a future militaristic source of direction for Japan. Japan rejected this proposal.If this happens there will be no peace. This was the only way(peacefully). Got anything to back that up without fallacies? Please post.As always, bad history ignores the context of the time. By 1945 Europe was destroyed, and the European allies were crippled in their ability to contribute to the Pacific theater. Americans had been returning dead for years at this point, and it is very important to understand that the Americans that were killed were largely draftees; this is no small point in trying to understand the context of the time. It is somewhat of a foreign concept for Americans now to think of being drafted and killed in a far off place. 175,000 American men that were involuntarily conscripted into the armed forces of the US were killed Define.Irrelevant ...it is clear that it ended the war faster and unconditionally more than any other method that could have been employed.Back to your objective bit. One good way was to, as I say it "Let the Russians do it.".

With the end of the European war, the Allies focused their efforts on Japan. Japan still fought fanatically, despite being badly hurt by bombing and blockade. The Potsdam Proclamation, which demanded the unconditional surrender of Japan, was issued. It made no mention of Japan's central surrender condition: the status of the Emperor. Japan rejected the Proclamation. The Japanese believed the Emperor to be a god (this is a key point). The U.S. dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Russia declared war against Japan. Japan, because of its military, still refused to surrender. Japanese peace advocates, fearing the imminent destruction of the Emperor, prevailed upon the Emperor to break with tradition and make government policy by calling for peace now. The Emperor did so. As the result of the Emperor's call for surrender, the entire Japanese cabinet, including the military, agreed to surrender. The cabinet saw that this would allow the Emperor to be retained. Even Japan's doves would have fought to the death had they not felt the Emperor would be spared. They saw "unconditional surrender" as a threat to the Emperor. President Truman had been advised of the importance of the Emperor to the Japanese. Japan was seeking Russia's help to end the war in July 1945. The U.S. was aware of this at the time thru intercepted Japanese cables. But the U.S. did not keep up with this change in Japan's position. The U.S. chose military methods of ending the war rather than diplomatic methods. The desire for revenge helped make military methods more attractive. We probably could have ended the war sooner with fewer deaths on all sides by using the full carrot and stick: 1) offer retention of the Emperor for a quick surrender; and 2) threaten Russian invasion and 3) atomic destruction as the alternative. None of these key incentives to surrender were used prior to the atomic bombing of Hiroshima. http://www.doug-long.com...

This is a battle in which both sides must post 1 GIF per round apart from on the acceptance round. The funniest GIFs (on balance) wins the debate. Any text that comes with the GIF should not be used to alter decisions. It must be purely based on who has the better GIFs.

Hikaru and Kaoru Hitachiin are better together than apart

Hikaru and Kaoru Hitachiin are twins. They both are very different, but without each other, they don't know what to do. And, how are they supposed to do their brotherly love act if there's only one? They have never had a fight (except that one episode, but it was fake!!!) and do you think they ever will? They don't want to leave each other, and they never will, if you think having only Hikaru and no Kaoru (or vice versa), do you know how they would act without each other? lost and alone, sure, they would have you, but it would be like ripping them in half, leaving them incomplete. I rest my case
Hikaru and Kaoru Hitachiin are better together than apart

I am an anime fan as well and have watched Ouran High School Host Club a couple times over. Replies to Questions:"And, how are they supposed to do their brotherly love act if there's only one? "In the Host Club Hikaru and Kaoru play the part of a the "forbidden love" characters with their apparent sexual attraction toward each other. They have shown the ability to portray heartbreaking acts shown in various scenes in the show such as episode 4 with the basketball game scene. I believe even if they were separate they would still be able to fulfill their role acting as heartbroken brothers forcefully separated from each other. That would still get their clients to swoon. "They have never had a fight (except that one episode, but it was fake! !! ) and do you think they ever will? "I deem it possible. They have had issues with each other, but not enough so that they ever had a legitimate fight. I think it is possible and will happen eventually. I have never read the manga so if they did have a fight after the events shown in the television show I do not know about it. "They don't want to leave each other, and they never will, if you think having only Hikaru and no Kaoru (or vice versa), do you know how they would act without each other? "As stated before, I think they would still be able to fulfill their role in the club at least to an extent. They have proven that they can be apart and still have self-fulfillment as they both shown in episode 16 when Koaru deliberately sent Hikaru away on a date with Haruhi. Hikaru has shown in that episode and occasionally from that point forward that he could be happy with someone else. Concluding Argument:While having Hikaru and Koaru separated does seem unorthodox I believe it would work. If I were with only one brother (and if I were homosexual if a romantic relationship is implied) I think they would still be happy assuming the other twin in also being emotionally occupied with an alternate relationship. It is proven in episode 16 that Hikaru has romantic feelings toward Haruhi and seems to be able to be happy with her without Koaru present. Therefore, it is possible for them to be separate and happy as well as fulfill their role in the club. Sources:- . http://en.wikipedia.org...- Watched "Ouran High School Host Club" anime series
The U.S should attack North Korea

We do not need another inconclusive Korean War. The USA is still involved in conflicts in the Middle East, despite the numerous defeats of ISIS. I say again we are still involved in terms of soldiers, monies, and public weariness. It is the job of the UN, NOT America. The UN is admittedly often ineffective time and time again, but one nation cannot be burdened with the worlds problems and expect such action to be sustainable over the long term. North Korea is a buffer zone used by China, and it seems doubtful that they would stand by and let America dictate policies in it's backyard alley. China also is the minimum, and does not take into account the rest of the world and how they might respond. Why must we be concerned with a country approximately 82 times smaller than us? http://www.mylifeelsewhere.com...
