Rap Battle!

I'm sorry but I'm trying to picture you in a bad frame So you can be the blame I don't like getting dirty Especial with someone with poor aim You heard me If I seem hurt You may turn an eye Thinking that I'm dirt Then I spring up and end this with my battle cry I'm not taking this seriously I'm just having fun As you talk continuously I'm laughing at your gun This was fun while it lasted But I love how you reacted It was great and fantastic Hopefully we do this again This time I may come with a vengeance If I loss this battle of the insane If I succeed in the battle I will hold my head high And cackle like a jackal In a blink of an eye I shall skedaddle. (Ps. This was very fun, thank you for making my day! :3)
Rap Battle!

[I'm sorry to do this to you SpiritPaw, but this is a verbal war.] I'm going to be frank, your rap was delectable, You didn't draw a blank and that's respectable, But in awe, you're going to lose, that's expectable. It sounds like you're taking this way too serious, Something tells me, that makes you delirious, The essence of my instrumental bars are mysterious, Your nonsense shows your mental reservoirs are imperious. I know soon, you will inevitably understand, How evidently, I am in command, Of every rap situation I am in, This is a verbal molestation of your fore-skin. With so much education there is no explanation, As to why you've got retardation, That's no exaggeration, Your mother received faulty insemination, This achieved, defective impregnation, Did I mention your ineffective rehabilitation? I'm not here for attention, I spit bars then punch tsars, This is beyond your comprehension, This rap is my redemption. Your raps are idiotic, I find it kinda cute, My raps are chaotic, I've assigned you a mute All of this should constitute, My adept ability to persecute, You've wept, now I will execute, This I know, to be absolute, And your mums a prostitute. I hope the depth of my insults wasn't too complex, Did the breadth of the results create a mental vortex? I'm a verbal architect, My lyrical design is of pure intellect, My rhymes are, satirical and boarder line holy dialect. Peace.
Rap Battle!

Hey, Hey hey! You have to insult to get your way why can't your words have a big role to play Now go away It's my turn you think you are special but sorry you are just another vessel with the other 7 billion and that's not the official You only know hate All you do is discriminate Now don't lie You know I'm right So please Get out of my way Or watch me destroy you with ease And I will feel gay Now let's stop this hostility And live together in tranquility Sit down and enjoy tea And tell tales of the sea
Rap Battle!

[Read allowed to get the full lyrical sensation] I've had an opponent back out of this kind of debate It'll only take a moment till you've aligned to vacate. My words, they just blend I don't mean to offend, I heard that you bend? So let's not pretend. You've got a lady friend? Your mother's stench is unbelievable, It makes my stomach clench, it's inconceivable. She has an obscene pig face, She's got no hygiene, it's a disgrace. She"s has back sweat running down her spine, And her crack met, Albert Einstein. I can tell that you"re mentally slow, You mean well but, indecently blow I feel like I should put it blunt, I'm surreal and you"re a c**t I apologize, I didn't mean to swear, But I prioritize, this is verbal warfare, I will traumatize, I'm your rapping nightmare Do you feel butterflies? I aim to impair. This is a verbal purification, You might feel mental fragmentation, This is all just a demonstration Of what's yet to come, you'll feel fascination. Peace.
Vaccines Cause Autism

My opponent hasn't refuted any of my arguments for the past 2 rounds. And instead used this whole round for sources, so I will examine them for this round. The greater good, even though my opponent says is a neutral film, is a biased anti-vaxxer production. It claims there is a link between autism and vaccines, and uses examples as well. Normally there has to be a strong correlation to establish a link between two things like this, but the Greater Good uses a grand total of 3 examples. Individual side effects happen, they happen with every medical treatment, but that doesn't mean there is a real and urgent link between that type of medical practice and whichever side effect happens. Health impact news is also a biased source. It's motto is "news that impacts your health that other media sources won't tell you. " On the front page I found an article suggesting that "essential oils" are more effective and less dangerous than approved drugs. They say this, and they say a "rapidly growing body of research" supports this idea. But they only provide a link to a news article in "the atlantic," which is just your general news website, and the author has very limited qualifications.

Vaccines Cause Autism

I'd like to define vaccine. [All definitions are from oxford dictionaries]VaccineA substance used to stimulate the production of antibodies and provide immunity against one or several diseasesThroughout history, vaccines have been the best method against preventing disease. There are many diseases that were rampant in the past, but they have been erradicated or are close to erradication thanks to vaccination. These diseases include - Polio Smallpox Measles Tetanus These diseases, had they still been common, would've been killing hundreds of thousands of people today. Many people believe that vaccines cause autism. This belief was strengthened after a scientific paper released in 1998 by former medical researcher, Andrew Wakefield. This paper was published in the medical journal The Lancet. It was later revealed that Wakefield had manipulated evidence, and had many conflicts of interest. In 2004, this paper was partially retracted, and was fully retracted in 2010. The Lancet's editor-in-chief called it "utterly false. " Wakefield was found guilty of professional misconduct, and he is no longer allowed to practice medicine. The scientific community agrees that no evidence links autism and vaccination. Research has gone into what causes autism, and a few interesting things have been found. Autism has a genetic component, but there is more. In siblings that both have autism, the genetic risk factors aren't the same. There hasn't even been any real evidence to fully explain why autism occurs, so it's senseless to suddenly blame it on vaccines.

I am new to this site

"I am new to this site" does not necessarily refer to the action of becoming a recent member. The phrase simply means that you, Blatzo, are new to the website of debate.org. Since you have not proven that you have not been on this site before, you are unable to support your claim. Enough said. I would suggest that in further debates, my opponent tries to either a) create a debate that is less lopsided OR b) clarifies the meaning of the debate. I urge a Con vote. Thank you.
I am new to this site

"This site is new to me" is a different statement to "I am new to this site" as outlined in the previous post - you have overlooked this twice now. The key difference being that the second sentence outlines a previously unattained belonging - achieved through membership. I would suggest that instead of trying to get me to provide support for a claim which I have not made, my opponent should attempt to provide evidence contrary to the join time on my profile.
I am new to this site

I know you stated "I am new to this site." "I may have visited this site before." Ding ding - not necessarily new to the site. Your membership is new to this site, but not necessarily yourself. You admit that you may have been to this site before. Hence, although your membership is new to the site, you are not, since you have been on here before. I have refuted my opponent and negated the resolution. "I am new to the site" is negated. Thank you.
I am new to this site

Please note the wording of my initial statement. I chose to use the phrase "I am new to this site" as opposed to "this site is new to me" I accept the validity of your point: despite my assurance that it is not the case, I may have visited this site before. However, it is evident from my profile that I only joined one hour ago (correct at time of writing) and as such my belonging to the site, through membership, is in its infancy. Making the statement that "I am new to the site" correct.
I am new to this site

As Pro and Instigator, my opponent maintains the Burden of Proof to affirm the resolution. However, my opponent cannot prove that he has never before been to this site. He may have joined as a member recently, but he can't support his claim that he has just clicked on this site and should be considered new. It is quite plausible that my opponent has been to this site many times; this debate only regards himself being new to the site, not his membership. Lack of proof points to Con.
Poem Battle

Hello, hello! I am back, after such a long hiatus indeed. A poem you likely need, for this is a poem battle! My poems seem to be getting shorter and shorter, maybe because I am getting bored and bored... Why, oh why! Can't I just go home, because just wow, I'm getting tired of these poems. But no, I cannot. For I agreed to do this poem, and I must stay in this boring old room, a dark room indeed, and write, write, write, and type, type, type, until I die, die, die. Now now, dont fret! No, no, I wont drop dead. I will keep writing and typing, 'till I get of old age, and hopefully this poem battle shall be done, and I, yes I! shall be the one, who has won! In my room I shall be, drinking heaps and heaps of coffee, tossing papers into the trash, since my poems aren't the best! Stay awake I shall, even if it feels like hell... Goodbye, and Good luck! For my poem, is finally done...
Poem Battle

Arguing isn't my occupation But I wonder why I've been giving so much dedication I give people facts, but they use no information And only argue about God and creation This guy is a disease to our nation Born from science; a complete mutation He has completely ruined all my concentration With all his babbling about humans and the "lost" population Though I countered with sass He's still a complete pain in the a$$ All of his arguments are one huge wreck His only purpose being a pain in the neck I don't know why I'm still writing about him But I guess it's simply based on your argument's whim I don't know what to do other than write about @FollowerofChrist1955 and all of his spite Ready for round four? It'll be a mild verbal war An absolute bore But I have ideas in store I don't know how to end this But @Follower 's arguments I dismiss My poems have been absolute piss Of my attempts to give a halfway-decent "diss" Sorry it's almost 1 a.m. and I'm tired as heck I also apologize for my bad language; I'll keep that in check

Poem Battle

Little 5'4 dopnmoi will be ready to give poems at any time. He's actually my imaginary twin who's the exact same height as me but just has a different name. This little doni argued with a Christian This little doni has won This little doni gave precision *The smaller opponent gave none Though I am a Christian, through and through The 60-year-old child still decided to argue I have no time for such a waste of space So hopefully someone would take my place Wouldn't it be nice if someone did that? But, then again, who would want to argue with such a dirty rat? @Follower is complete entertainment Who really needs to be put into social containment For the sake of my poor brain, my logic, my sanity Someone needs to save me from this ignorant man"s vanity I swear, I"m going to simply go crazy Because my opponents arguments are just so lazy I gave it my best; I gave it my all But it only turned into a huge verbal brawl In the Bible, he"s exactly Saul Except without change, ego infinitely tall I gave it my all; I gave it my best But it seems that this is just a useless quest The 60-year-old child is making me stressed Almost as if he"s some anger-management test In conclusion I have a question for you: Which one of us is the worse of the two? (Between me and @FollowerofChrist1955) *Whenever I say "opponent" I mean @FollowerofChrist1955 , not the one I am currently debating

I already made this poem for someone else but I'll just put it in here anyways because I like it: Jesus this, Moses that Abraham hit me with a whiffle-ball bat Hibbity Jibbity, bibbity swibbity this nonsense makes my brain all flippity I truly believe that all these debates Are not worth the trouble for all the stress it creates But I'm stuck in an endless cycle of stupid and I can't escape; my mind's been polluted Please save me; I'm in a sea of immature freaks And I've only been on this site for a couple of weeks... I've wasted my time, debating 60-year-old children One of them claiming he's a die-hard Christian Jesus this, Moses that Abraham hit me with a wiffle-ball bat Hibbity jibbity, bibbity swibbity @FollowerofChrist1955 has no debating ability Any pinch of peace and any trace of tranquility Has been destroyed with his lack of civility Any ounce of sanity or dash of nobility Has been long gone because of his mental "stability" Oh, you think I'm done? I'm just getting started You see, @Follower doesn't have me outsmarted He's thinks he's so wise, so amazing, so great We'll see what God thinks when he's at heaven's gate I'm eager to see his response to this poem; I can't wait! He'll look ridiculous when his facts aren't straight In all honesty, these arguments are mentally draining But @Follower 's response is always entertaining Jesus this, Moses that Abraham hit me with a whiffle ball bat Hibbity jibbity, bibbity swibbity @Follower has no credibility He'll respond with anger because of his ego's fragility But I'm okay with that; it's his disability

Resolved: It is more rational to worship the stars than the Judeo-Christian God

I'm aware that there are many different definitions of God. However, I did include "Judeo" which should immediately exclude any reference to the Holy Trinity or other multi-part Gods. When this phrase is used it most often means the God of the three O's, which you haven't directly addressed whether you believe in that God. Therefore, we can't begin this debate until you've explicitly defined your God. Secondly, this debate cannot begin in round 3 as it is not intended to be a 2 round debate assuming ideal circumstances. I would be willing to start another debate with you once you have defined your God more thoroughly. Lastly, I will be granting the existence of a metaphysical being, although our conceptions will certainly be different. I'll send a new challenge if you're up for it, it's just a little late into the debate to get a debate going.
Resolved: It is more rational to worship the stars than the Judeo-Christian God

I will just go with my critique of the topic and wait to see what you have to say in defense of it in the next round. A major problem with saying the "Judeo-Christian God" is that there are many, many, many different ideas of who/what God is. I will be defending a roughly Orthodox conception of the Judeo-Christian God. The Bible describes the Judeo-Christian God as having two attributes that are incredibly important to understanding God. First, God is Most High, or in easier logical terms God is the basis of everything. Second, God is agape, which is a Greek word for something like "unconditional love, charity, selflessness, humaneness". C.S. Lewis described it as the type of love that always works for the ultimate interest of the other party despite feelings or circumstances. Now to begin the debate. At first, we must deal with two scenarios, first, that God does exist, and second, that God does not exist. The first question that must be asked, in looking at this line of reasoning, is "from whence everything"? The self could have created the world. Everything you experience could be made up by the self but not actually there. I think, however, there is a fatal flaw to this argument. Knowing my desires, it seems quite unlikely that my self would have invented a world in which these desires are so often frustrated and in which life is often quite unpleasant. The existence of pain and evil would seem to be a fatal flaw in the solipsist view. Since the self did not create the universe, man is forced to accept that something larger than himself is responsible for everything. When we look at this world, which we know was not created by the self, we see that it has order. Order does not seem to be the natural state of everything due to the existence of entropy. Yet the universe seems at least to operate by laws, and laws that cannot be broken. A rock dropped off a cliff will always fall to the bottom if uninhibited by another force. Yet the tendency of the universe is towards chaos, disorder, and imbalance. Indeed, even the problem of existence itself points towards extra-natural phenomena. All the universe appears to have come into being in a cataclysmic event around 15 billion years ago. The universe began to exist, and everything that begins to exist has a cause. Therefore, the universe must have a cause. In short, critical examination of science, and human idea and belief, and even desire points towards the existence of something which is the source of all truth (natural and supernatural), (moral) goodness, and success. In short, the universe points towards the existence of a Most High. A basis of everything, if you will. God. I can expound this further in subsequent rounds. 2 possibilities exist: 1. God exists and 2. God does not exist. If God exists, then it would be completely irrational to worship a ceated thing ather than the basis of everything. If God does not exist, then it would be irrational to worship anything. Therefore, on balance, it is more rational to worship God than the stars.
Resolved: It is more rational to worship the stars than the Judeo-Christian God

It seems the debate will have to be continued elsewhere since Con and I are having definitional issues. To clarify, I'm not explicitly defending a naturalistic worldview here. This debate was actually intended to be a little lighthearted mixing in elements of cosmology, ethics, ontology, and certainly where ever else the debate goes. I'm also not familiar with the Orthodox Christian/Lewisian God. You're going to have to describe your God more thoroughly so I can gain a better idea before I go ahead arguing against something I don't truly understand. In terms of the stars definition, I do mean the first definition mentioned by Con. Is he, for example, omnipotent, omnipresent, and omniscient?The issue of pinning down "rational" is definitely a hurdle, but I don't mind leaving the word as it because it's doubtful that two individuals with fundamentally different worldviews would agree on this term. I don't mind leaving this one to be judged by fellow DDOers and we're clearly going to have to push our own cases for the validity of empirical evidence, the value of worship, or whatever issues arise here. I hope that answered the question, as you mentioned it's a difficult word to really define. People naturally weigh different sorts of arguments or types of evidence differently and I just feel that's an inherent bias we'll have to deal with among voters. We could really have an entire discussion on that topic alone. The Merriam-Webster's definition of worship is fine. I also understand Con's gripe with "better," the word should be ignored as this is my second debate on this topic (this topic has slight modifications) and I cut and pasted my opening onto here. Regardless, just ignore the word "better" as it doesn't apply to this debate and I define it more carefully in my other debate.
