My mom is a turd

alright first of all to the shrink subject,you completely missed the point.the shrink from what i remember you had a steady relationship between you and you mother.for example:the shrink helped you get back more privileges that your mother has took from you in the pass,also take a huge percent of arguing and making it to a ten percent,and last but not least helped your mom be less stubborn and more reasonable.and jumping to the part where you said ( my mother suffers from chronic depression and a multitude of other brain malfunctions such as OCD and so on) then im sure with that in your knowlegde you should be completely aware on why your mom may be stubborn or why she makes you do everything in the house you know?and going to the next thing you said with made burst in laughter,yes its just dandy that you know martial arts but with you mother being over protective im sure you wont have to need that martial arts crap but lets say you are in that situation.what if someone is holding up a gun to you how will you use your martial arts then? you shouldnt have to use that martial arts knowlegde,theres no need to under your parents protection .your mother takes privileges from you weather its becuase of grades or shes just trying to protect you,it does not change the fact that she just trying to be a mother.....but maybe shes just not doing a good job in doing so becuase remember you did say she suffers of certain brain problems.and the fact that she takes privileges from you becuase of your grades means that your not doing good enough.she most likely belives you can do better then a couple of Cs or Bs.in the end the fact shes tryin to be a mother shouldnt give you the right to call her a turd maybe she does a turd job at it but she not a turd.if shes so stubbhorn or if she suffers from certain brain problems then maybe just maybe you should try being the bigger person a couple times.i had fun having this argument and i hope we can both be matture about this argument and not have hard feelings lol
My mom is a turd

Okay you touched a nerve when you stated "You should go back to the shrink your parents got you..you obviously still needed" They didn't "get me a shrink". My MOM (not my dad's decision) decided that my school issue needed to be dealt with in other hands because she pissed me off to the point where I wasn't listening to her rambling on and on about my " incomplete realization on how middle school can affect my future" And on another point that shrink is to help HER more then me. (I want the audience to understand that my mother suffers from chronic depression and a multitude of other brain malfunctions such as OCD and so on) So to prove you absolutely wrong that the shrink was not for me but for her sanity, that shrink helps my mom realize that some of her actions upon me are absolutely unreasonable and pointless for the so called "crime" done. MOVING ON to your other points, yes you can be too careful depending on the knowledge the potential victim has. Although you think that martial arts doesn't do anything for one persons fighting skills, I don't care what you think. What matters is that it works and my knowledge will help me in any rape situation. And my mom knows that. For one of my belt tests, they had a full grown man on top of me in 5 different (common) controlling positions. I got out of all five, and succeeded with out punching his lights out, braking any bones, or ripping his...Well... You know off. So rape is out of the question. Now to touch on your drugs point. Drugs is a personal decision. If I do drugs that has nothing to do with my mothers choices. If I decided to shoot heroin, then that's me. Not her. And if she tries to prevent that, then fine. But she's not doing so by the actions she's taking. Going BACK to my best friend. Yes. We're having current problems. But what two friends don't? And I'm not "cleaning up after her mistakes". When I met her she was a sweet innocent girl that was fun to be around and a self esteem issue. By helping her through her problems, as does she does with mine, I'm helping her realize that she is a better person then she really thinks she is. Millions of people DO have problems. Billions at that. But that's irrelevant to my relationship with my best friend. I'm glad you agree my mom is too stubborn. But it's not her being over protective. It's her being her. She's convinced that taking things away from me will effect my grades and behavior in school ( which all in all aren't that bad. Especially my behavior. I never get in fights or skip class). So this proves my point that she IS a turd.
My mom is a turd

im going to start off by saying,in this world today you could never be too carefull with the rapes,drugs,and violence in our country you could also never be too carefull about who is around.like i siad i agree that your mom is just trying to be protective over her child.and on the subject of your friend chloe,you shouldnt have to clean up after a other persons mistakes,yes she has many problems but you have to faces the facts millions of people have problems and from what i understand you have been trying to help her for over a year with all her drama and she still continues with drugs and other and more problems at a very young age and from what i understand you and her having problems with her right?anyways hopping back to your mother issues,ill admit that there should be some limits on her stubborn ways but until there are some limits you still have to play under her rules.you are only 14,you should go back to that shrink your parents got you......you obvisely still need it
My mom is a turd

Touching on the "best friend" subject you stated. Yes, she has a lot of problems but what she doesn't realize is that I do help her a lot. I get her out of trouble all of the time. If it wasn't for me she wouldn't be the person she is today. She'd be in a deeper darker ditch then she was in before. She has not seen my past mistakes because I haven't made any because I have common sense unlike these teenagers on the news getting kidnapped and hurt. I highly assume that is what she's worried about especially when I'm alone. And there is no "WIN OR LOSE" when it comes to arguing with my mother when she decides to be the up most stubborn thing you will ever encounter. Even if I make a bunch of good points to prove her wrong, she still won't agree with what I have to say.
My mom is a turd

I understand why a mother would be so over protective and i understand your pain.and from what i understand your mom is pretty old.....dont forget i met her,i dont agree with alot of what you say she does because what she is doing is a little bit over board but i understand why she would do that.she's seen your past mistakes and know that you can tend to have alot a problems and she might not trust your friends......come on look at your best friend chloe,she has alot of problems,shs done drugs,and she tends to get into more trouble then you.in todays society its normal for a parent to be over protective.....you cant blame your mother for taking care of you,but i do agree there should be boundering to her ways......and when she i being stubern just tell her how you feel and if it gets worse then just be the bigger peson.....(by the way people who read this i just want you guys to know i know her mom in person....i just thought i shouldput tht out there)
My mom is a turd

My mom is a turd because; 1) She blocks anything she thinks is "explicit" 2) She doesn't let me have the freedom to hang out with any girl or boy I want even with her supervision 3) she is so unreasonable to the point where she'll cut her nose off despite her face in the end of an argument just to prove a point. 4) She never takes me anywhere where its an inconvenience to her day, and she's not considerate enough to tell me a day ahead of time what she's doing that day so I can plan something out that does fit with her schedule 5) she takes away my belongings for the stupidest reason. For example. She wants a list of top 20 names of people I talk to all of the time so she can tell who I'm talking to at what time. And if I don't she's going to shut off my service completely 6)And she never pitches in around the house. She never cleans. Cooks. Does the laundry. Walks the dog. Feeds the dog. It's really unfair to my dad and I
White people are less likely to commit crimes. (currently and in the US)

African Americans commit more homicides [1] 2. Most youth gang members are either African American or Latino [1] 3. According to the National Crime Victimization Survey in 2002, the black arrest rate for robbery was 8.55 times higher than whites, and blacks were 16 times more likely to be incarcerated for robbery than non-Hispanic whites. [1] [1] . http://en.wikipedia.org...
White people are less likely to commit crimes. (currently and in the US)

"White. A person having origins in any of the original peoples of Europe, the Middle East, or North Africa. It includes people who indicate their race as "White" or report entries such as Irish, German, Italian, Lebanese, Arab, Moroccan, or Caucasian." "Black or African American. A person having origins in any of the Black racial groups of Africa. It includes people who indicate their race as "Black, African Am., or Negro"; or report entries such as African American, Kenyan, Nigerian, or Haitian." This is copied directly from that cite. You made that last part up therefore how can anyone trust any of your facts?
hunting should become illegal

Alright, I support animal rights as much as the next bloke but without hunting, well, we would die. Let's look at the definition of hunting: # To search through (an area) for prey # To make use of (hounds, for example) in pursuing game. # To pursue intensively so as to capture or kill # To seek out; search for. # To drive out forcibly, especially by harassing; chase away I'm going to presume that you are using the dictionary's English definition of hunting. Some debate. org debaters like to change the meaning of words for their own personal benefit. You used the Bible defense, but this a flawed defense. The Bible supports hunting. The Bible says in Genesis 9:3, "Everything that lives and moves will be food for you. Just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you everything. " God says that he gives us everything. The Earth is ours and he specifically mentions that he gives us everything that lives and moves as food. Against your defense, the Bible says thou shalt not murder, but murder is only between humans. Murder is, in fact, defined as the unlawful killing of one human by another, especially with premeditated malice. Without hunting, for years, people would have died, because there was no tofu or soy beans. They had to hunt or the human race would not have survived. The first humans had to hunt to survive and eat. If they would have died, we would not be here today, which is against God's will. God wants us to be here and provided animals so that we could eat and survive. Thank you.
hunting should become illegal

Hunting is wrong because if you hunt all you are doing is murder and killing which is illegal and if you are a christian then in the bible its says you shall not murder. You also would be kilLing gods creatures. what is the difference between killing animals and killing humans they both feel pain they both have families and there cubs/kids/what ever they are need them more than your child will need you. So before you consider going hunting you might as well go on a killing spre because there is only two stupid differences and they are animals are harmless and they are Innocent. So don't kill the animals you might as well kill your neighbor or the shop owner. All animals do is mind there own business and you kill them so you should be arrested but no because no one cares about the animals and i'm putting my foot down the queen and the primeminester should just stop caring about humans only and care about animals as well because they where here before us so they should ban hunting before they should ban murder or stealing because all we do as humans is kill, kill, kill and i am ashamed to be human and i would easily prefer to be be a dog, a cat, a hamster and even a chicken. THE KILLING MUST STOP!!!!!
Why Justin Beiber is not a good influence on kids

He's not even making an attempt to be organized. Anyways, "My oppone*N*t is using this video as an appeal to pity fallacy and ignoring the example I have given as the counter example" Actually, I believe mine was the counter-example, because it was provided second. And regardless, they cancel each other out because they are only one example each. Spelling is relevant; my opponent clearly has not looked at the points awarded for grammar/spelling and conduct. This is getting ridiculous. Regarding the martyrs, my opponent said it is a possibility. Possibilities are everywhere, they are not arguments. It is possible that I could trip while walking with a pencil and it will stab my heart and kill me; this has happened to people. Just because there is a possibility of a problem, doesn't mean we should ban pencils. ~~~~Yada yada, my opponent continues claiming that I argue nothing but strawman and fail to provide evidence, which, to my opponent's dismay, is exactly what he is doing. He has yet to provide a shred of evidence and actually, he is the one fallaciously arguing- with ad hominems. My arguments are not strawman arguments, and he's attacking me but not my argument directly by refute it. This is ridiculous, my opponent isn't debating, just criticizing me of things I'm not doing. Vote con, for I have provided something you all want, shown here: . http://fc05.deviantart.net...
Why Justin Beiber is not a good influence on kids

All of my opponent's definitions of obsessive use a variant of the word "obsessive" in them except for the third, which uses a synonym that rhymes. I don't even see why the definitions matter; anyways, he provides a video that I find personally to be hysterical, so yes, I agree that this individual maybe have an "obsession" with Jabaybay. Unfortunately, he has not shown that there are any negative impacts from defending him. Removing Jeiber would leave the world absent of the cuteness of this video. Why wouldn't you want to have these cutesies running around and karaoke-ing? It's just adorable! She even skips Luda! My opponet is using this video as an appeal to pity fallacy and ignoring the example I have given as the counter example On a side note, my opponent's grammar and spelling is just atrocious. Moreover, the Eminem and Taylor are relevant because they are synonymous with Jay Beiber, just in other genres. It was never explained why they're red herrings. My spelling is irrelavent to this topic and is a diversion to the actual arguement an again this is not about eminem or taylor swift if my opponet could show a counter example with this it would be most helpful. Regarding the argument in which people will forget him... I quote my opponent "starting a cult of Beiber Fanboys not that they already have and then becoming martyr's?" If my opponent finds a martyr for the Beibinator, I'll consider conceding the debate. This is a strawman fallacy as you quoted I never said that notice the keyword starting a cult of Beiber Fanboys not that they already have and then becoming martyr's I said it is possible it could lead to this behavior not 100 percent for certain. An aspiration to become a singer like bieber is not a bad thing; my opponent claims it's bandwagon, but I don't see a Canadian trail full of thousands of wagons filled with little boys and girls who want to sing. There aren't many, but he's a role model for those few that are out there. The argument hasn't been un-substantiated. Another strawman fallacy I never said anything of Canadians I spoke as a whole and to the other point try searching those terms little boy or girl singing justin bieber songs and my opponet even proved it with the video he rebuttled with!. My opponent claims that the only cure for Beiber Fever is to stop listening to Beiber. That's like saying the cure for home-sickness is to stop visiting home. My opponent clearly should not be a doctor, so you should I never claimed this again a strawman fallacy I merely said kids should be themselves not what pop stars or celeberties want them to be. Again my opponet fails to provide evidence but continues to state I am a Justin Beiber hater which I never claimed.

Why Justin Beiber is not a good influence on kids

The problem with my opponets arguement is his definition of obsessive in his first premise and I will use the dictionary definition of the word the Dictionary defines it as follows: 1. being, pertaining to, or resembling an obsession: an obsessive fear of illness. 2. causing an obsession. 3. excessive, esp. extremely so. –noun 4. someone who has an obsession or obsessions; a person who thinks or behaves in an obsessive manner Reference:http://dictionary.reference.com... Also if you want proof of Obsession with Justin Beiber here is some evidence of this Youtube user:http://www.youtube.com... The points of Eminem and Taylor swift are irrelavent to this debate and a red herring I am speaking directly of Justin Beiber only. To the 3 Rebuttal of my arguement my position is that the obsession will dwindle over time and they will forget about him so why these kids are soo obssesed in thinking things like I love Justin forever and defend him to the death is really disturbing how much longer till the point we have kids starting a cult of Beiber Fanboys not that they already have and then becoming martyr's? now I will address his con position: My opponets states: 1. Justin Bieber gives hope to teenage boys who have yet to undergo puberty. Teenage boys across the nation who are in the same situation as JayBee aspire to be like him. If people have an aspiration to sing in a high-pitched feminine voice, having a model to look up to can only be a good thing. Here is the problem with the arguement why do not kids just be themselves this seems like the banwagon fallacy that since everyone is becoming a Justin Bieber fan I should as well. This gives kids false hope into thinking they can become something they may never be. 2. Baby Jaja is the only cure for the Bieber-Fever I apologize for my varying references to Jay-Billy. I just like giving people random nicknames. Anyways, if you have the Bieber-Fever it means that you are sick with a case of needing to hear Jabeebee all the time. If he can remedy the mental illness, how could he be a negative influence? Again the only cure for Beiber Fever is if kids wake up to the reality that you should not be a trend follower but rather yourself why be something that you are not? and in regards to him being an influence my 3 premises bare witness to that. So I urge voters to vote pro as my opponet has not brought any evidence to the contrary except that he is merely a fanboy of Justin Beiber just coming to the defense. I have brought sources that Beiber fan hype can lead to unhealthy habits.
Why Justin Beiber is not a good influence on kids

Pro has the burden of proof in this round inasmuch as he is making the affirmative statement "Justin Beiber (Bieber) is not a good influence on kids). I'll begin by addressing pro's arguments and then provide some negative arguments to uphold my position. ===Refutation=== Observation: My opponent literally makes 3 unsupported assertions and leaves it at that. He has failed to make any substantial arguments in this debate, so as of now I have nothing to refute. Nonetheless, I will do so. 1. "His influence is turning kids into obssesive fanbois". ---> First, I would argue that this is not a change from before. Pop artists before him like Eminem and Taylor Swift had large fan bases all across the world, but they were never found to be "bad influences". Second, there is no brightline between an obsessive and a non-obsessive "fanboi" (my opponent butchered the spelling in his argument). Finally, I would say that to be a "fanboi" really isn't a problem inasmuch as music is simply a hobby or a recreation. To say having a favorite artist is a bad thing is like saying that having a favorite sports team is mentally perturbing. 2. "His fans will run to his defense even when someone expresses dislike of his music. " ---> Why is that a problem? If someone tells me that Eminem is a bad rapper, I would defend his reputation as the best rapper alive. That doesn't mean he's a bad influence on me; he has given me a source of motivation with his life's story and his expressiveness. Maybe someone found the same with Jieber Weiber? That's there choice, my opponent has not proven that there is any bad influence. 3. "Justin beiber's talent will dwindle over time and his name will be forgotten as with every teen idol in the past. " ---> Everyone is going to die one day and so he is a bad influence because his corpse takes up space wait WHAT? Oh. No argument here. We'll just cremate him when he dies, or donate his organs to those in need. ===Con Case=== 1. Justin Bieber gives hope to teenage boys who have yet to undergo puberty. Teenage boys across the nation who are in the same situation as JayBee aspire to be like him. If people have an aspiration to sing in a high-pitched feminine voice, having a model to look up to can only be a good thing. 2. Baby Jaja is the only cure for the Bieber-Fever I apologize for my varying references to Jay-Billy. I just like giving people random nicknames. Anyways, if you have the Bieber-Fever it means that you are sick with a case of needing to hear Jabeebee all the time. If he can remedy the mental illness, how could he be a negative influence? I urge a con vote, for my opponent is simply an anti-Beiberist, who follows the ideology commonly referred to as "anti-Beiberism".
